The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 905 River

The brilliance is like mist and smoke.

But it carried the slightest bit of power that Qin Ran couldn't ignore.

Compared to the auras of the gods in the temple area and the gazes of the gods before, Qin Ran, who was bathing in the brilliance of the Lady of Thorns, had a different feeling.

He seemed to see a river.

A river with countless branches and endless flow, but whose origin and end cannot be seen.

And he is in this river.

Not in the most central location.

Just on a branch of a branch.

It's just a little better than the trivial places.

Standing here, Kieran subconsciously took a step forward.

But as soon as he moved, a wave hit him and pulled him into the river.

Throughout the whole process, he had no resistance at all.

Even if he struggled hard.

Wow, wow!

The sound of running water seemed to echo in Kieran's ears.

He himself seemed to feel the touch of water.

But the next moment, he returned to the hall of the Temple of Thorns again, and a voice was echoing in his ears in different ways.

"Will you be my knight?"

The voice is calm and the volume itself is not particularly high.

But the majesty and mystery contained in the voice made the high priest, officiant and older priests nearby fall to their knees.

Qin Ran quickly suppressed the discomfort caused by an illusion and respectfully performed a knight's salute.

"certainly."

Kieran replied seriously.

"I will give you the honor that matches your strength, and I will also give you the rewards you deserve."

The voice sounded again in the radiance.

Then the light faded and the sound disappeared.

However, there was a new reminder on Qin Ran's retina——

[Get Vanessa’s favor! 】

[Winessa’s Favor: When facing fate, Lady Thorns’ Favor will have unexpected benefits. Of course, it won’t make you invincible, but it will make your luck better than usual. 】

(Note 1: Vanessa’s favor is only valid in this world and will disappear after leaving this world.)

(Note 2: When you return to this world again, Vanessa’s favor will appear again)

"Better luck?"

Kieran looked at [Vnessa's Favor] in surprise.

He didn't expect Vanessa's reward to be this.

What was even more unexpected was that Vanessa could affect a person's luck.

"The derivative brought about by 'destiny'?"

"So……"

"Could what I saw before be the River of Destiny?"

"But why is there no beginning and end?"

"And those tributaries, how could they be?"

Qin Ran guessed subconsciously.

The river of destiny runs through the trajectory of one's life.

There is a starting point and a focus.

This point is clarified in detail in Nikelei's book "Astrology and Destiny Paths".

Not the same as what he saw.

This made Qin Ran slightly confused.

However, Kieran did not show his doubts.

Smiling as he looked at the high priest, officiant and the older priest.

"Knight Commander Lane."

The elder priest bowed first.

Although he was much older than Kieran, his position as a priest was one level lower than that of a knight.

"Knight Commander Lane."

The high priest and officiant also addressed Kieran with a smile on his face, with an expression of enthusiasm that was missing just now.

Undoubtedly, after accepting the honors and rewards given by Lady Thorn, they had regarded Qin Ran as one of their own.

Therefore, some of the following topics were not hidden from Kieran.

"With that mediation, the war between Ms. Vanessa and Canly Canton has temporarily stopped, but it is far from over."

"We need to always be on the lookout for them."

The high priest spoke first.

No one present objected to this.

Everyone knows that after the previous battles and the old and new hatreds combined, the Temple of Thorns and the Temple of Wealth are already incompatible.

It is not strange for a new war to break out all the time.

"I think we should take the initiative!"

"While their knights are completely destroyed, attack their temple in one fell swoop!"

The chief priest, who was still middle-aged, was obviously much more radical than the equally older high priest.

"Barry, is this what you think?"

"still?"

The high priest asked.

The words were not finished, but everyone understood what they meant.

If it is really Ms. Vanessa's idea, then there is nothing to say, and the war must continue.

"Ms. Vanessa didn't send more decrees, but I can feel Ms. Vanessa's indignation about this war and that person!"

"That one is a little biased!"

"The other party started the war, but there was no punishment after the failure. This is really unreasonable."

As the chief priest who communicates with the gods, he can feel the true thoughts of the gods far better than others.

"yes."

The high priest sighed and nodded, looking at Qin Ran and the older priest who said nothing.

"Ryan, Edson, do you have any ideas?"

"Here, you can speak freely."

"Our Temple of Thorns is not as strict as the Temple of Sin."

The high priest said with a smile.

After Kieran and the older priest looked at each other, Kieran immediately made a gesture of invitation.

The education he received since childhood prevented Qin Ran from competing with an elder.

What's more, there is no conflict between the two parties.

"High priest, chief priest, knight commander."

"My knowledge prevents me from making constructive suggestions to you at a decisive level. I can only explain from my perspective what I think needs to be done: pension!"

"The dead knights, deacons, and priests deserve their own honor and belonging."

The older priest saluted again and then said.

Just like what the other party said, he saw it from the perspective of a priest.

"Um."

"Ryan, what do you think?"

After the high priest and officiant nodded, they looked at Kieran again.

Different from the previous ones, this time the words clearly had the meaning of taking a test.

Ms. Vanessa’s appointment is sacred and cannot be modified.

However, as the high priest and officiant of Ms. Vanessa, she has the obligation to make this appointment more accurate.

Simply put, Kieran needs to prove his ability.

If it cannot be proven, Kieran is still the Knight Commander, but there will be another candidate to manage the Knights.

"My opinion is to replenish the Knights."

"Select outstanding additions to the Order from among proven men."

Qin Ran said slowly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the high priest, officiant and the older priest suddenly showed expressions of disappointment.

Average, no highlights.

It can even be said that just ordinary people can think of this.

Qin Ran glanced at the three of them and continued: "Then..."

The deliberately elongated syllables immediately attracted the attention of the three people.

"Use my strengths!"

When the three of them focused their attention on him, Qin Ran spoke word by word.

Ryan’s specialty?

The three of them were stunned.

Then, the three people's eyes lit up at the same time.
