Chapter Twenty-Four: The Cypress
Charles Street, a street no more than 50 meters long. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The so-called small square is only named after a cypress tree that was planted in the street many years ago.
The 30-meter-tall cypress has a dense, compact canopy that has not withered in the fall, but rather a verdant verdant leaf.
From a distance, it was like seeing a huge green umbrella.
Under the tree, there are four benches made of wood and stone, which not only provide people with rest, but also protect the cypress in another unique way.
Not far from the benches, there are two large four-wheeled carriages.
The carriage was tightly wrapped, and no one knew what would be inside except for the two coachmen.
In the distance, a carriage slowly approached.
And when it was about 20 meters away, the carriage stopped.
"Alright, this is the limit!"
"Lord Herbert, it's up to you to talk to that person personally! And 2567 ......"
"Please stay here, I have learned about your bravery, please don't do anything that we both regret!"
After Basso, who acted as the coachman, stopped the carriage, he entered the carriage and said to Herbert and Qin Ran.
Neither of them answered, and after looking at each other, Herbert stepped out of the carriage, while Qin Ran watched the back of the old scholar in the carriage.
With Herbert's appearance, the number of people on the streets dwindled rapidly.
But Qin Ran could clearly feel the increase in his gaze.
It contains a malicious look, stabbing like a sword.
However, Qin Ran handled it calmly.
At least, on the surface.
In his heart, he was spinning his brain rapidly.
What kind of means will the other party use to get rid of his biggest 'obstacle'!
Since it is a murderous killing, it naturally did not let anyone go.
Including him, Peel and others, as well as Herbert, are all targets of the other party's killing.
Qin Ran knew this.
If there is any difference, it is that Herbert needs to name the location of the seal, the spell, which is more valuable than him.
To put it simply, in the other party's plan, Herbert was the last to die.
And Peel et al.?
has already become a caged bird, and the other party's desire to execute these captives is just a thought.
The only trouble is him!
If he is the other party, he will naturally get rid of the trouble first.
"What will you do?"
Qin Ran, who was staring at Herbert's back, glanced around slightly, and in some shadows, he could clearly see the people hiding inside.
And at the windows of the rooms on both sides of the street, there are also many people.
Of course, this is only what can be seen.
Where he can't see, there must be more hidden.
And those are the ones that really deserve attention.
"Your Excellency 2567, we are here with sincerity!"
"Please don't compare us to the failures of the Night Species and the Monkey Monster, we also have our own dignity! In fact, before Your Majesty was sealed, we were the true nobles, not the wine bags and rice bags you know - although they called us 'aliens', we had a glory that they could not match......"
Blaser spoke suddenly.
And, the gushing.
"'Xeno'?"
One of the words aroused Qin Ran's interest.
"It's a scorn, they're jealous and afraid of us!"
"For they have never been loyal to His Majesty in the true sense of the word, they are just a bunch of rebels and thieves - both human and defeated, even if there are one or two noteworthy fellows among them!"
Blaser Swisslull showed his pride.
Moreover, without waiting for Qin Ran to speak, he continued.
"Bartos is one, and the other is Aigar, but the strength of the former is amazing, but it is just a reckless man, but Aigar is different!"
"Even if it's a failure, I have to admit that it's really gifted, and it's actually mastered the art of copying great things!"
Ba So's words unconsciously turned into some hidden information that Qin Ran cared about.
If it was another time, Qin Ran would definitely listen quietly.
Can now?
There was a subtle sound of the lead being ignited in his ears, which was enough for Qin Ran to understand what means the other party had used.
Dynamite!
Beneath the ground of the carriage in which he was riding, there was a considerable amount of explosives buried!
"It's so easy and fast!"
Qin Ran sighed in his heart.
Basso drove the carriage and naturally controlled where the carriage stopped at will.
Then, after Herbert left, he kept distracting him with words.
If he had been a little careless, or had a lower level of perception, or had the ignited explosives buried a little deeper, he would have to shed his skin this time if he didn't die.
However, such ghost tactics have always been concealed to win.
Once exposed, it's useless.
Bang!
Qin Ran, who was sitting, didn't move, but kicked out, and the tips of his feet hit the throat of Basso, who was still gushing, like a spear.
Qin Ran didn't know if the other party was willing to be the dead soldier of this mission, or if he had some special means to avoid the impact of the explosion.
But no matter what it was, Qin Ran would not let the other party continue to live.
Not only the identity of the enemy, but also because of what the other party did.
Qin Ran would not simply think that what the other party said in the Latte Mansion was a joke.
Since the other party said so, then Peel and the others must have been treated like that.
Gaba!
With the sound of his neck breaking, Basso collapsed on the seat of the carriage with a dazed and incredulous voice, and he didn't understand why Qin Ran suddenly made a move.
A green glow appeared on the corpse of the other party.
After Qin Ran picked it up, he jumped out of the carriage.
In the next second-
Rumble!
In the explosion, the carriage flew into the sky with the horses pulling it.
The heavy smell of gunpowder and black smoke filled the streets like a mist.
The ground was shaking and shaking, and Herbert, the old scholar, fell unsteadily to the ground.
Therefore, he could see the ground in front of him more clearly...... Wriggle.
"Be careful!"
Herbert's face changed drastically after thinking of something, and he reminded Qin Ran loudly.
However, it was a little late.
Rumble!
At the moment when Qin Ran's feet landed on the ground, another roar sounded, not an explosion, but louder than the previous explosion.
Hundreds of vines suddenly drilled out of the ground, enveloping Qin Ran straight inside.
In the distance, the 30-meter-tall cypress seemed to come to life as the vine appeared, and it swayed its body, several thick branches supporting the ground like hands, allowing it to pull out the roots that had penetrated into the earth.
The moment those roots leave the ground, they turn into legs and feet, allowing them to stand on the ground.
Roar!
A deafening roar came from a hole in a thick tree trunk.
With clumsy legs and feet, because of the height, he didn't seem to walk slowly towards Qin Ran, who was buried by vines.
And then......
The branches, as thick as the masts of a sailboat, slammed down.
Rumble!
ps second more ~
The green dragon lies in the snow.
In the afternoon, after eating a rice roll, a dish highly recommended by the restaurant owner.
As for the results......
Decadence doesn't want to talk about it, I just want to be quiet, and don't ask who Decadent Jingjing is. (To be continued.) )
