Chapter 722 Take the Bait

"Can I come out?"

"uninvited guest!"

Qin Ran leaned against the pool of the hot spring, without any intention of moving or adjusting his body, so he spoke slowly.

The slightly familiar way of hiding and hiding is enough for Kieran to guess where the other party is coming from.

'Elder Council'!

After more than a month of contact with Giovanni, the observer, the "high-level inviter" that the other party called finally appeared, and it was still in a quite direct way.

This style of trespassing into the enemy's forces is really full of the style of the "elder council".

"uninvited guest?"

"You should have received the notice in advance!"

In the cold voice, the looming figure became clear.

The dense hot air rolled to both sides, like two rows of waiters, welcoming the arrival of that figure, while the other was like a high-ranking nobleman, standing on the water surface, looking down and examining Qin Ran, and , not minding the gender difference at all.

"The notice I received didn't tell me that I should dress neatly when taking a hot spring."

Qin Ran emphasized.

At the same time, he looked at the woman in front of him.

With a good appearance and figure, long platinum hair fell down her shoulders, exuding a different kind of brilliance in the mist. Of course, it was the opponent's weapon that caught Kieran's attention the most.

A long, narrow sheathed sword.

Just staring at it for a while, the wailing of the undead and the judgment of the spirit seemed to ring in Kieran's ears.

Powerful weapon!

Whether it was the long sword itself or the phenomenon caused by the killing, it was enough for Kieran to care.

Especially when the long sword was held in the hands of a man full of threats, Qin Ran, who seemed relaxed, was already on full alert.

Be prepared to fight back at any time if any changes occur.

"very good!"

"Finally, a fairly qualified guy appeared!"

The other party seemed to be aware of Kieran's vigilance.

However, the other party was not angry.

Instead, he nodded appreciatively.

Finally?

Qin Ran was taken aback.

As far as he knows, in recent years, there has been no replacement of the 'Twenty Hounds'.

So, how did this 'finally' come about?

Subconsciously, Kieran thought of the unusual behavior of Giovanni, the observer of the "Elder Council", and the time when the "high-level inviter" appeared in front of him.

In fact, after returning to Oaken Manor from Utah State University, Kieran was ready to 'greet' him.

However, the opponent's speed greatly exceeded Kieran's expectation.

In Qin Ran's original estimate, the other party would appear in front of him soon, but for more than a month, there was no movement from the other party.

until now.

Could it be?

Qin Ran, who had several guesses in his heart, looked at him with a smile on his face.

"It's qualified to be cautious? Then I have to think more about joining the 'Elder Council'!"

"Or was it just Harold that you invented the test?"

"If it's true, I should praise it, is it worthy of the Council of Elders?"

Qin Ran spoke slowly, the contents of the words were half truth and half false.

His eyes stared at each other without a trace.

He hoped to see something from the other person's face to confirm his guess.

But it's a pity that the expression of the woman in front of her has not changed at all, she has maintained a kind of indifference from beginning to end.

"If you want to know more, sign this contract and join the 'Elder Council', and you will know everything!"

The other party answered.

His tone was very cold, and there was an extra piece of parchment in his hand.

Qin Ran's eyes scanned the contents of the parchment scroll, and it was generally about not betraying the "elder council" and other clauses. The following details belonged to some rights and obligations of being a "twenty hound".

After reading carefully, Qin Ran discovered that the conditions were very good, even considered generous.

However, no matter how good the conditions were, Kieran would not sign his name.

He already had a plan, and he didn't want to completely set himself on the 'elder council'.

"Can I not sign?"

Qin Ran asked like this.

Clang!

Amidst the clear sound of unsheathing, the long sword around the opponent's waist turned into a ray of light, piercing Qin Ran's throat.

But a bandage is faster!

"Ms!"

Qin Ran let out a low shout, and the [Boxer Bandage] shot out like an arrow, and then transformed into a spirit snake, quickly entangled.

Not only the opponent's wrist holding the sword, but also the opponent's body.

Sensing the position where the [Boxer Bandage] was wound, the face of the other party became colder and colder.

The stabbed long sword was withdrawn abruptly, and cut towards the 【Boxer Bandage】.

She was confident that her sword could easily cut through this piece of rotten cloth and... the owner of this piece of rotten cloth.

But just when the sword edge was about to touch the 【Boxer Bandage】, the woman in front of her suddenly stopped moving.

Because, an aura that was several times sharper than the sword in her hand aimed straight at her!

On Qin Ran's right hand, the 'Power of Dawn' was entangled like a substance. Although the palm of his hand was not raised, the 'Power of Dawn' was ready to go.

But she believed that as long as she made a slight move, Kieran would deal her a devastating blow.

So, she stopped.

Despite her reputation as the 'Twenty Hounds', she was unwilling to die here, especially in an easy task.

Click!

The long and narrow sword was put away.

Amid the sound of the sword hilt colliding with the scabbard, the [Fist Bandage] flew back to Qin Ran's hand again, and the condensed 'Power of Morning Sun' gradually dissipated.

It is very easy for Kieran to dissipate [Sword of Dawn] when the power is less than 3 seconds.

Qin Ran went back to the hot spring again and looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Do you know what will happen if you do this?"

As if dissatisfied in his heart, the other party asked in a cold voice.

"Know!"

"So, I stopped, or do you think you can dodge the previous blow?"

Qin Ran still nodded with a smile.

Facing the facts, the other party did not refute.

Unexpectedly, she really couldn't avoid it.

"I have no malice towards the Council of Elders. Even if I don't want to join it, it's only because of a problem with my memory—I need to find my lost memory. At that time, I will give you a clear answer."

Qin Ran said so.

"Do you think the 'Elder Council' is a businessman?"

"Give you the right to bargain?"

There was sarcasm in the other party's icy voice.

"I think everything is negotiable, as long as the price is enough!"

"What do you think of my previous fight with Harold?"

Qin Ran asked, but without waiting for the other party's answer, he sped up his speech again, and said to himself: "Of course, I mean Harold's power—that kind of power shouldn't be 'Grevan' What's even more interesting is that after Harold tried every means to form 'Greven', he suddenly let go, and even killed someone for some books that recorded well-known myths and legends. Mouth... what do you think happened?"

"You mean?"

Surprise appeared on the cold face.

She witnessed the previous battle with her own eyes. Although she was surprised by Harold's strength, she didn't think about it deeply because the target was Kieran.

Now, when Qin Ran raised it again, she immediately noticed the difference.

The power of the mysterious side is all kinds of strange things, but there are traces to follow after all.

After the combination of flames, lava, sulfur, etc., it is only possible to point to one place.

Thinking of that place, the breathing of one of the 'Twenty Hounds' with a frosty face became rapid.

"I didn't say anything, it's just your guess!"

"Similarly, it's also my 'life money'—is the 'Elder Council' willing to give me some time to find my memory?"

Qin Ran spread his hands, looked at the other party and asked.

"You better make sure what you say is true!"

After the other party finished speaking, they quickly disappeared in the darkness and mist again.

Look at the place where the other party disappeared.

Qin Ran narrowed his eyes.

"First step, complete!"

He secretly thought.

Then, hearing the sound of footsteps outside, he immediately picked up the clothes on the side and quickly put them on.

[Sword of Dawn] didn't strike, but the momentum it caused was enough for outsiders to notice something was wrong, and he didn't have any special hobbies.

One exposure is enough.

the second time?

He is not grateful.

PS first update~

Suddenly, the whole person was scared T.T
