Orange emanates from the edge of the book.

It exudes a light that only Kieran can see.

...

A scorching hot air flowed over Kieran's legs, knowledge about [snake-shaped legs] appeared in his mind, and then merged into his body one by one.

A few seconds later, when everything stops.

Qin Ran kicked forward abruptly.

hiss!

Just when the limit of this leg was reached, the muscles on Kieran's thigh and calf twisted, his knee joints and ankles trembled, and his straight toes let out a sound like a snake, but it was actually a twisting of muscles and joints. The sound protruded 5cm forward.

"Surprise?"

Kieran evaluated this rare kicking technique.

In his mind, he already had the idea of ​​how to use this kicking technique concretely.

Of course, not now.

At least a certain level must be reached.

Then, he walked towards the slender narrow sword dropped by the opponent.

Emerald green rays of light bloomed above.

...

"It really is an assassin!"

Looking at the attribute introduction of [Cingular Thorn], Qin Ran couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Whether it's the [snake-shaped legs] or the [cingular thorn] in front of him, they are all surprises and are favored by assassins.

For Qin Ran, he didn't mind such a method.

But it's a pity that compared with [Cingular Thorn], [Soul of the Wild] is more important.

After putting the special narrow sword into his backpack, Kieran turned around and looked at Mary who was staring blankly at Gail Art's body.

There was a trace of hatred in the girl's expression.

More is at a loss.

However, he didn't wait for Kieran to comfort him.

The girl's keen perception made her restrain her expression.

"How did you know Gael Art was the murderer?"

she asked.

"Just now!"

"The murderer who assassinated your mother did it because of the 'secret order', but according to my previous inference - there are really very few people who can know about the 'meeting'!"

"Except for the imperial envoy and the subordinate who carried out this order, there are only your mother, you and Gail Art."

"As for the subordinate who carried out the order, if nothing else happens, he should be a dead man or something, so he can be ruled out!"

"After excluding the first person, you're left with your mother, you, and Gail Art!"

"Among the three, your mother and you are both victims, so the biggest suspect is naturally: Gail Art!"

After saying that, Qin Ran looked at Mary.

"Remember his hostility towards me?"

"Since then, he has been misleading me!"

"He wants me to focus on either Harvey or Poole and make people think I'm the one!"

Qin Ran said.

"However, this doesn't explain anything!"

Mary frowned, somewhat unable to accept what Qin Ran said.

"I can't explain anything!"

"In fact, I was also confused at first!"

"Because Gail Art arranged it perfectly at the beginning, no one knows how he killed Harvey and Poole unexpectedly!"

"If there is nothing later..."

Qin Ran did not refute.

As he said, Gail Art did a perfect job before.

"Don't you think it's a coincidence that Gail Art just woke up from a coma and 'explained' to me after we left Fort Swart, that Fort Swoat was eroded by fire?"

"And, more coincidentally, the fire also revealed that the 'killer' didn't get what he really wanted."

"Everything seems to be rehearsed, he is really unnecessary!"

"More importantly, the scars on his body-these scars are the key points that confuse me, and they are also the key points that make me react!"

While talking, Qin Ran made gestures on his body.

Those are the wounds that Gail Art once had on his body,

Because of the dressing, he carefully observed Gael Art's wound.

Therefore, at this time, Qin Ran restored those wounds exactly by relying on his memory.

Mary stared closely at Qin Ran's fingers.

"Each wound happened to avoid the right hand, both legs and vital parts..."

When Qin Ran stopped, she lowered her head and said to herself.

"Um."

"If it is not easy, it is impossible to achieve this level!"

"And if you can do it with ease, it's easy to avoid these injuries - no normal person would want to be covered by scars, unless he has other plans..."

Qin Ran nodded and looked at Mary who bowed her head and said nothing.

After hesitating for a moment, he continued.

"Although he put some kind of drowsiness potion in your food on the night when he did it, making you fall into a dead sleep that night, he still suspects that your mother already knew everything! And when he found out that your mother arranged When he was behind, he was even more convinced—so, he began to disguise himself again, he hoped to simply complete his task and get what he wanted as before."

"Unfortunately, he miscalculated the time of my arrival!"

"If I come a little later, Skye will definitely attack aggressively. He will play the image of a savior who is seriously injured but still heroic—not only to continue to deceive you, but also the hidden imperial envoy, He needs to spread everything through Skynay's 'mouth'."

"Gal Art, never put all your eggs in one basket."

After speaking, Qin Ran jumped in place.

He got into the crown of the tree and raised his hand to touch the bird's nest on the branch.

A sealed scroll appeared in Kieran's hands.

At the same time, the system's upgrade sound sounded.

The words began to appear on Kieran's retina.
