After hearing the soldier's message, the expressions of those present were mixed.

Qin Ran's face maintained his habitual indifference and indifference.

Mary's disgust emerged.

Count Shirin, however, looked disdainful.

You must know that before the news of the victory came out, the herald sent by the old Earl of Will personally told the people present that the reinforcements led by the other party were still four days away from Lerdrie, and only two days after the news of the victory, the other party had already arrived twenty kilometers below the city of Lerdrie.

"After two days and four days, Old Earl Will is really a good commander."

"This speed is really impressive."

Mary said.

The words were full of sarcasm.

In front of Qin Ran, Mary didn't have any intention of hiding her thoughts.

As for the Earl of Schilling on the side?

I'm sorry, when I saw Qin Ran, the rest of the people, Mary automatically ignored it.

"What are you going to do?"

Qin Ran asked.

He wasn't going to interfere too much in these matters.

Because, Qin Ran knows very well that Mary is Warren's successor, and in the end, she will become Warren's queen.

And he?

It's impossible to be by her side all the time.

"Me?"

Mary was slightly stunned, and subconsciously wanted to ask Qin Ran, but immediately, the smart princess understood what was going on.

Qin Ran's two 'outings' were enough to remind Mary.

Although she really wanted to travel with Qin Ran, the education she received since she was a child made her unable to give up her duties.

contradictions, let the young princess ponder.

But soon, the young princess left it behind.

At least, Qin Ran was right in front of her eyes right now, wasn't she?

So......

"I wish to see the old earl alone, and to give him a reward."

Mary said.

"Preferably in Lerdry."

After a pause, Mary added.

Smack, smack.

Earl Shirin applauded softly, and there was admiration in his gaze as he looked at Mary.

It is not surprising that the old Earl Will and the 20,000 reinforcements were separated in the name of commendation and controlled under the palm of his own hand.

But considering Mary's age, it is commendable.

"I can't wait to see the old earl."

"The last time we met, it was a few years ago."

Count Shirin sighed.

Of course, such exclamations are still full of ridicule.

And, all along, the young earl did not worry that the old earl would not come.

After all......

Count Shilin looked at Qin Ran beside Mary, and suddenly sighed in his heart for the old earl who he hadn't seen for a long time.

I'm afraid that at this time, it will be difficult for the other party to choose.

Is it to put yourself in the hands of others?

Or do you choose to face a strong man who fights one person against one army?

If it were him, it would be a headache.

As the herald brought the news to Count Will, a convoy began to slowly move out of the Warren camp.

This convoy was escorted by a team of guards from the original Thunder Fortress, accompanied by Qin Ran and Earl Shilin.

The only horse in the whole convoy was on the horse, and James VIII lay on a soft bed, his already pale face looking paler in the sunlight at this moment.

Everyone could see that His Majesty was running out of oil and could die at any moment.

But no one will bring it up at this time.

The premise of a big victory is enough to cover up many shortcomings.

Even the weakness and compromise of this majesty were overshadowed by the brilliance of victory at this moment.

At the very least, he was a benevolent Majesty.

Mary sat in front of the soft bed and whispered to take care of her father.

Qin Ran and Count Shilin rode aside.

"I hope to be able to make a deal with you."

Looking at Qin Ran beside him, Count Shilin said very simply.

This time, without Mary's interruption, the young earl spoke his mind.

"I want to attain the highest meaning of the Serpent Sect."

"I know this request is rude, but please believe me, I don't have any ill intentions, I just want to use the highest mystery of the snake sect to complete my family's secret art: snake dragon!"

"This is my only chance to follow the steps of my ancestors."

"Please grant my request."

"To this end, I am willing to share all the family secret techniques with you, and I can promise you the three of you not to violate the requirements of the glory of the Shirin family."

The young earl looked at Qin Ran with a sincere expression.

The highest mystery of the snake sect?

Qin Ran was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the attribute [Molting] that [Snake King's Ring] had stimulated when he was fighting with the 'King of the Prairie'.

Undoubtedly, the Earl of Shirin in front of him had some misunderstanding about this.

However, Qin Ran did not explain.

In the face of Count Shilin, who was only a little better than a stranger, Qin Ran naturally had habitual reservations, but Qin Ran was very interested in the secret technique of the Shilin family proposed by Count Shilin.

Therefore, after a slight groan, Qin Ran said.

"I need to think about it."

"Of course!"

"Such a thing must be considered!"

The young earl, who was not rebuffed, was immediately overjoyed.

The worst-case scenario did not come to an end, which was enough to represent the hope of fulfilling his long-cherished wish.

As long as he shows enough sincerity!

Thinking of this, the young earl secretly made a certain decision.

Qin Ran didn't pay attention to the thoughts of the young earl beside him, and when the other party mentioned the 'snake faction', Qin Ran thought of the leader of the snake faction who had slipped through the net.

And, naturally, from the other party, I thought of the seven pieces of parchment.

Qin Ran was quite sure that the other party would not give up the seven pieces of parchment, as long as he used this as bait, the other party would definitely appear.

However, compared to this way, Qin Ran has a better way.

Ga!

An order was issued, and the fire crow that was in touch with Qin Ran let out a chirp and flew into Leerdry like a bolt of lightning.

Fire Ravens are magical, but they don't have the level to lock on to a target in a city of 100,000 people.

But it's perfectly possible to do the opposite.

Fire Raven cannot lock onto a target.

But it's okay to have someone target the fire raven.

For example: Raven Pie!

The Maxim, who was ambitious but had no corresponding abilities, would inevitably come to him when he saw the fire crow.

The character of the other party has long decided this matter.

And using the other party to find the snake faction is the most suitable thing.

What else knows you better than a friend?

That must be the enemy!

The crow faction and the snake faction, the two old enemies, if they didn't keep an eye on each other, Qin Ran wouldn't believe anything.

The convoy drove into Lerdrie unharmed and entered the palace.

In the same way, a message entered the royal palace.

"What did you say?"

"That old Earl Will was assassinated?"

Qin Ran looked at the herald in front of him and raised his eyebrows.
