Chapter 22: Appearance
The eyes are like the reflection of the starry sky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Under these eyes, Greckery felt only smallness and humility.
Even the secret technique that was 'planted' in his heart became insignificant at this time.
The secret magic that seemed to Greclery to be like a pillar of heaven shattered in an instant under the gaze of these eyes.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound in Grecker's body, and after his body shook several times, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
However, this mouthful of blood spurted out, but it did not hurt Grekry in the slightest, but instead felt comfortable all over his body, and an unprecedented ease appeared on Greekry's body.
"Thank you, sir."
Greclery knelt on one knee and swore allegiance to Qin Ran.
Under the [Ring of Mesli], Greclery's slight resistance was controlled by Qin Ran.
The resistance was small, very weak.
But it was enough to attract Qin Ran's attention.
"Use secret art to control others!"
Qin Ran guessed.
Qin Ran was not surprised by this.
Just as he habitually used the [Ring of Mesli] to control those untrustworthy natives, what really made Qin Ran care was that the power of resistance was too weak.
It doesn't look like a 'broker' at all.
With Qin Ran's understanding of that guy, even if he is powerless to resist, he will definitely set up some headache situations, or even simply a lore game.
And now?
Qin Ran's gaze scanned back and forth between Greclery and the 'Secret City' passage.
The previous plan about this 'Secret City' and the other party's plan in Gravel Town came to mind again.
"Sure enough......"
"The biggest pitfall is here."
Qin Ran's eyes looked at the darkness inside the passage.
SSS+'s perception made it easy for him to see through the darkness.
He saw the neat buildings below, and saw the guards who were overwhelmed.
But the deep, uncomfortable aura didn't know when it disappeared.
Or, more accurately, hidden.
"Deception?"
Qin Ran muttered to himself in his heart, and then asked Greclery, "What's under here?" ”
"Underground?"
"It's Modi's establishment of the city of Mi and a laboratory."
"I'm in charge of the city, but the lab can only be 'Modi' in and out, and I don't know what's inside."
Greckery said truthfully.
Obviously, Greckery didn't know the truth either.
Qin Ran was silent for a moment, pointed to the guards who were hovering near the secret passage, and asked, "Are those people obeying you, or are they obeying 'Modi'?" ”
"They are all people I have recruited, they are loyal to me, and I was under Modi's orders before."
"And even if they want to be loyal to Modi, they won't be favored by Modi."
"Modi has said that he does not want his men to be useless."
Greckery replied.
"Good."
"You let them bring everything valuable."
Qin Ran commanded.
Greckery nodded yes and went into action.
As Greckery said.
These guards were on his orders.
Although there was some hesitation, after a few angry rebukes from Greclery, these people obediently took action.
"Your Excellency, your Excellency!"
"Why don't you go down and check it out for yourself?"
"The laboratory that can only be accessed by 'Modi' will have good things."
Old Vic, who crawled out of a crack in a stone at the bottom of the hill, ignored his grizzled appearance, and suggested to Qin Ran with a smile.
"You want to go?"
"Then you can go and find out for me."
Qin Ran didn't even look at Old Vic, and just said.
"Really?"
Faced with the sudden surprise, Old Vic's body walked towards the 'secret city' almost uncontrollably.
However, the innkeeper, who had rich experience and had seen too many people, was not really carried away by surprise, and only took two steps, and Old Vic stopped abruptly.
Old Vic turned his head and looked at Qin Ran with a slightly suspicious gaze.
He expected to see something from Qin Ran's expression.
As a result, there is nothing but indifference.
Old Vic recalled everything that happened after meeting Qin Ran, it seemed that Qin Ran never showed too much expression, and it seemed that everything was not taken to heart.
No, it's not!
I still care about the loot.
None of those guys' loot forgot to let Vaughn bring it back.
Right in front of you!
Greclery was carrying the loot with his men.
Then why is Qin Ran not interested in the most valuable laboratory?
Old Vic pondered.
He would not be so narcissistic as to think that he was Qin Ran's henchman, so he would be given such an important task by Qin Ran.
If you want to say that it is a henchman, it is more like the busy Greckery over there.
It's not the first time that Old Vic has seen that allegiance, and he's seen it in Mayor Hall's body.
Old Vic didn't know how Qin Ran did it.
But Old Vic knew that his weight in Qin Ran's eyes was not high.
The reason why he was brought here, except that Qin Ran needed a guide, I'm afraid it was just to be used as a pathfinder for the necessary moments, right?
When such a thought came to Old Vic's mind, the innkeeper walked forward with a heavy footsteps, but the steps back were blazing.
Almost a jump, he returned to Qin Ran's side.
"My lord, I don't think I'm good enough for such a task."
"You can choose Lord Grecker."
"He's far better than me, and he's able to handle the dangers that will happen."
Old Vic bowed his head and licked his face, showing his humility as much as possible.
Fortunately for Old Vic, Qin Ran didn't force him, he just stood here in silence.
"Your Excellency, you must be tired from standing, do you need a shaded place?"
In order to make himself more useful in Qin Ran's eyes, Old Vic didn't wait for Qin Ran to answer, so he moved a small wooden box from the materials piled up in the distance, and at the same time used several poles to prop up a tarp.
After Qin Ran sat down, Old Vic took out a thin wooden board and began to fan Qin Ran.
Such a move made the guards of the former 'Secret City' who were carrying the loot frown, and there was even more undisguised disgust on their faces.
But Old Vic seemed to be as happy as he was.
For someone like Old Vic, being alive is more important than anything else.
What's more, facing a strong man like Qin Ran, Old Vic knows too well what kind of benefits he will gain under such a strong man.
Therefore, Old Vic completely ignored the eyes around him, smiling and diligently fanning Qin Ran.
Until Qin Ran turned his head and looked into the distance.
"What's wrong, my lord?"
"Do you need anything?"
"Please tell me what to do, and I will help you do it."
"The enemy I've been waiting for is coming."
"You're going to help me deal with him?"
Old Vic showed everything a loyal servant should have, but soon, with Qin Ran's words, the innkeeper crawled to the side.
"Adult fighting is not my forte."
"I'll be there to cheer you on!"
As he spoke, Old Vic shrank into the crack in the rock beside him, not daring to show his head.
Greclery wanted to bring people to join the battle, but was stopped by Qin Ran waving his hand.
"Keep doing what you are."
Qin Ran said so.
Grekry, who was 100% obedient, immediately carried out the order, but Greclery's subordinates were a little more hesitant and puzzled.
Didn't you say that the enemy was coming?
Why are you still sitting here?
Did you wait for someone to call?
Doubts came to mind.
But immediately, the eyes of these doubtful people widened.
One by one, they looked into the distance, looking incredulous.
Hundreds of wolves, in packs, like a tidal wave, are pouring towards here.
"Wolves!"
"Wolves!"
One of the guards couldn't help but exclaim.
More guards were trembling and looking for a place to hide.
No one understands the horror of wolves in the wilderness than those of them who seek a living near the Most High Path, let alone such an unimaginable number.
Even Greckery couldn't help but change his complexion.
And in the place where Old Vic was hiding, there were even the sounds of crying and praying.
The wolves are getting closer.
Greclery drew his sword and blocked it in front of Qin Ran.
Although the controlled Greclery was afraid, he valued Qin Ran's safety even more.
The rest of the people have all gone into hiding.
The bold ones only clenched their weapons and peered through the cracks at the approaching beast.
Looking at Grekry, who dared to draw his sword in the face of the wolves, a trace of admiration appeared in their eyes, but looking at Qin Ran, who was sitting there motionless, they became more and more puzzled.
However, soon, this incomprehension turned into shock.
They saw a scene that they will never forget in this life.
