Chapter 357

What is the killer plotting?

Something on the desk!

It was taken away by the murderer the night before when Mary's mother was assassinated. If there is no accident, it should be fake!

One piece is disguised to the extreme, making it impossible to tell the real from the fake in a short time.

Only in this way, the murderer will return to Fort Swart after a period of time, and set fire to it as if venting hatred.

Because, even if the other party searched all over Fort Swart, they couldn't find what they wanted at all.

Qin Ran had no way of knowing how Mary's mother managed to confuse the fake with the real.

However, they have their own guesses about Mary's mother's arrangement.

Perhaps the murderer succeeded in assassinating Mary's mother.

But the murderer who ignored what Mary's mother really cared about also stepped into Mary's mother's layout.

Throughout, when Mary's mother felt something was wrong, the mother had only one concern: Mary's safety.

No matter what arrangements the mother made, Mary's safety was at the center.

And buying time like this wasn't just about getting Mary out of Swartburg.

With the intelligence of Mary's mother, it is impossible not to know that the murderer's strength is irresistible to her daughter and followers.

Therefore, there must be an 'accident' who is strong enough to resist the murderer!

However, this person cannot be him!

Although Mary's mother is smart and thoughtful, she is not as predictable as Nichelle.

Otherwise, he would not have encountered such a fatal situation.

Therefore, apart from his "expected" benefactor, there should be an "unexpected" benefactor specially invited by Mary's mother who is unknown.

But the helper took longer to arrive.

Therefore, Mary's mother will be so suspicious.

In this regard, the murderer should have noticed it afterwards, and then made some countermeasures.

For example: ask him to take the blame.

as well as……

Act early.

"I see!"

Qin Ran sighed inwardly.

At the same time, he became more and more vigilant. Since the murderer has noticed Mary's mother's arrangement, he will definitely not let go of this last chance.

According to normal thinking, since there is no such thing in Fort Swoat, on the premise that the original owner of Fort Swoat died, who would be the most likely to know the whereabouts of that thing?

Naturally, everyone would think of Mary.

As the daughter of the original owner of Swartburg, she can be said to be the closest person.

If there is any secret, it becomes human nature to tell the daughter.

Qin Ran didn't have the eyes to see through people's hearts, so he couldn't know whether Mary knew the secret.

But he knew that the murderer who found nothing in Fort Swart would definitely follow the traces they left behind.

Without deliberate cover, the traces left by the war horses are too easy to spot.

Qin Ran had no hope, the other party turned a blind eye like a blind man.

In fact, the other party's tracking speed was much faster than Qin Ran imagined.

The number of people was also somewhat unexpected.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Amid the sound of the skirt of the clothes being ripped through the air, five people appeared in front of Qin Ran.

The black robe covered the figure, and the huge hood and mask completely covered the face.

The only exposed eyes carried a cold killing intent.

It was like the gaze of a cold-blooded predator.

All five are the same.

But Qin Ran looked past the five people and looked at the darkness in the distance. In his perception, there was still a person hidden there.

They came together with the five people in front of them, but hid in the shadows at the last moment.

Although his eyes can't really be as dark as day, but under the perception of C+ level, he can still roughly distinguish the outline of the other party.

The same black hooded robes as the five people in front of them.

But at the waist...

But has two weapons.

Two completely different weapons.

Qin Ran immediately thought of the saber that Mary's mother had taken away.

"A murderer?"

Qin Ran guessed like this.

Hoping to check it more clearly, Qin Ran moved his steps carefully, trying his best not to startle the snake.

However, the person who hid was far more vigilant than imagined.

Just as Qin Ran moved a little distance, a whistle sounded from the other party's mouth.

Immediately, the five people who came with the other party rushed towards Qin Ran.

The two rushed forward, piercing Qin Ran's throat and chest with two long swords.

After the two walked around sideways, the two long swords pierced Qin Ran's ribs respectively.

Another person pulled out a crossbow from behind and pointed it at Qin Ran from a distance.

In a short breath, the five of them completed the siege of Kieran and launched an attack almost simultaneously.

The tacit understanding shown by the five is enough to show that this kind of cooperation is not the first time.

But Qin Ran's attention was not on the five people in front of him.

Even with a crossbow pointed at him from afar, Kieran's attention was attracted by the hiding man.

The sense of crisis coming from there is far more than the five people in front of them.

Qin Ran stared at the person hiding in the distance, and waved the box in his hand——

Woo!

In Kieran's hands, the box containing [Words of Arrogance] swept across like a sledgehammer.

The huge box is like a shield. Although it can't fully allow Qin Ran to use the extraordinary level of [Shield Mastery], and it can't be blessed with special effects, it allows Qin Ran to easily block the four stabbing swords. People, too, suffered devastating impacts.

bang bang bang!

The muffled sound was mixed with the crisp sound of broken bones and tendons.

The four figures flew back at a faster speed than before.

Whoosh!

An arrow passed through the four figures and shot in front of Qin Ran.

but……

The next moment, he was caught by Qin Ran.

Then, throw it back.

Even without Rachel's help, the arrow that Kieran threw back was still lucky enough to pierce into the enemy's chest, and the huge force allowed the arrow to pass through the chest.

The open wound on the chest caused the black figure holding the crossbow to twitch and fall to the ground, apparently unable to survive.

Clang!

A little bit of coldness appeared in Qin Ran's line of sight, which was not shifted at all by the battle.

The person who had been hiding all this time shot.

In the shadows, a rapier with cold light burst out with a sharpness of metal. The tip of the sword with the thickness of the index finger was as swift as a shooting star. It led the opponent across the not short distance between the two, and appeared directly in front of Qin Ran. .

It was like the sword that the other party gave Mary's mother that night.

However, Qin Ran was already prepared.
