Chapter 24: The Hidden Serpent
The barrel is cold, and the body of the gun is extremely delicate, obviously not the kind of mass-produced goods, and the seemingly decorative pattern on it tells Lunkar that this arquebus has extraordinary power.
Without a doubt, this is an extremely good weapon.
Of course, it would be better if it could not be put on his forehead.
"I think we might have a misunderstanding!"
Wheel Karl, who held his hands high, lowered his voice, but said clearly with his words, and his body was even more motionless.
He didn't want a hole in his head.
In the same way, he did not risk resisting a person who appeared behind him silently.
No matter how the other party did it, or what it borrowed, the current other party has an absolute advantage and initiative, and he?
As a person with considerable self-knowledge, he knows how to cooperate with each other in exchange for a chance to live.
In fact, he does it a lot.
"Misunderstanding?"
"I don't think so."
"Why are you staring at Horruf?"
Qin Ran's voice was cold, full of murderous intent.
It was not a disguise, but a real killing intent, so much so that a layer of fine cold sweat instantly overflowed on Lunkar's head.
Horruf?
Not for Viscount Sika and the 'Withered Branch', the 'Sleeping Deer', the 'Rotten Waters' and the 'Mist'?
The unexpected question caught Lunkar off guard, so much so that he snorted slightly.
This was exchanged for Qin Ran's rough treatment.
Lift a foot and lift it on the other person's neck.
This kick was very sharp, but the sound of breaking the air was like a snake's hiss.
Hiss!
As the snake hissed, air currents surged up with the kick, like poisonous snakes scurrying up from the grass, biting at Wheel Karl's exposed skin.
Bang!
And when the top of his foot collided with his neck, Lunkar fell to the ground like a lightning strike.
I almost kicked him in the neck just now!
A feeling of dizziness filled the brain.
Lunkar subconsciously wanted to vomit, but the muzzle of the arquebus was pointed at his forehead again.
"Why are you staring at Horruf?"
Qin Ran asked again.
"I—I didn't."
Wheel Karl said intermittently.
At that moment, not only did he want to vomit, but his speech function was also hindered, and even his vision was blurred, but he found that the strange man in front of him seemed to glance to the side, and his movements were very hidden, as if he had discovered something, and then-
Bang!
Dark Potion Spears that do not need to be reloaded are directly activated.
The air bullet was not inferior to the power of the powder gun, and directly lifted the heavenly spirit cover of Lunkal.
Then, Qin Ran quickly searched for the corpse, and after taking away all the valuable items on Lun Kar's body, he quickly disappeared.
It was only ten minutes before the patrolling guards arrived.
It's not that they're slacking.
Instead, the fire at Viscount Sika's mansion caught their attention and made them unaware of the gunfire.
Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, the leader of the guards instructed his subordinates to hurry to carry it.
As for the inspection?
No need, no one can get it after being knocked on the Heavenly Spirit Cover.
Moreover, he doesn't have time to do that now.
Going to Viscount Sika's mansion to extinguish the fire is the top priority.
The corpses were temporarily thrown into the city guards, which were five in Sika City, distributed according to the south, east, west, and northwest, and the middle one was close to the Viscount Sika's mansion, which was also the closest to them.
Therefore, the body was sent there and temporarily stored in an underground morgue.
Minutes and seconds passed.
With his eyes closed, Lunkar suddenly opened his eyes.
He was so painful that he inhaled and pressed his hand against his own head.
"Damn! Damn it! ”
"Heavenly Spirit Gai!"
"Where's my Heavenly Spirit Gai?"
He roared under his breath.
However, the guards who carried the corpse were too anxious to find the Tianling Gai that flew into the corner, and in fact, even the brains were scattered a lot.
Feel the pain in my head.
Lunkar's gaze involuntarily looked at the corner of the morgue.
There were also two bodies there.
It's not uncommon for dead people to be in Sika City.
In Sika City, where people come and go, it's normal for one or two people to die.
This is still the castle guard near the Viscount's Mansion, and if it is a mixed place of clouds and dragons near the market, there will be more corpses there.
Call! Call!
Lunkar gasped for air.
He walked towards the two corpses step by step, and then, straight into the teeth.
At this time, Lunkar's teeth became sharp, like a beast.
And the appearance of tearing the corpse is not different from the beast.
In less than five minutes, the two bodies were torn apart, leaving a pile of bones.
Lunkar returned to normal.
Not only did the brain become complete, but the Heavenly Spirit Cover also grew.
The pain passed away, and he began to think carefully.
"Coming for Holuf?"
"Witcher?"
"But most of the witchers are dead, and the rest are all loners, and they can't have anything to do with Horuf."
Wheelkar pondered.
As for Horruf, he had already found out clearly.
This is not a difficult thing for him.
After all, the two sides are old enemies, and the witchers have always been a must for the Silent Night Secret Order.
In fact, it's not just Horuff, but some really powerful witchers are also under their surveillance.
The reason why I didn't do it was just because the time was not right.
Just like this time.
After being instigated by the other party, when Viscount Sika, the 'Withered Branch', the 'Sleeping Deer' and the 'Water of Decay' were fighting, he would stimulate that Horuff to create more chaos on the other side, so that the entire Sika City would completely return to a state of disorder, and then, enough to attract more people's attention.
Make the plans of those grown-ups go more smoothly.
But who knows, the 'fog' has suddenly appeared.
Not only did he quietly complete the descent, but he also became a 'demigod'.
This disrupted his plans.
And the mysterious man after that, almost killed him, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was attracted by something, he believed that the other party would be able to find out the difference as long as he checked it carefully.
As a subordinate of the Silent Night Secret Order, Lunkar really knows too well about the old enemy of the Demon Hunter.
As long as necessary, the opponent can throw any enemy into a blender, puree the meat, and then pour kerosene on it and burn it clean.
It's really tough.
If it weren't for that accident, these guys would have wiped out the entire Silent Night Secret Order.
However, fate favored the Silent Night Secret Order.
Now, those guys have become lost dogs.
Thinking of the war with the Demon Hunters, Lunkar couldn't help but smile smugly - he was not a participant, let alone a mastermind, he was simply an organization of glory.
But immediately, Lunkar's face sank.
While proud to be a member of the Order, Lunkar was well aware of the Order's punishment for those who failed in their plans, especially when it came to the real bigwigs, and that punishment made him shudder.
No way!
It can't be like this!
It's not me who is at fault!
It's too much to know!
That's right!
It's all a witcher's conspiracy!
A group of witchers hidden in the shadows of regular witchers!
Normal witchers are wolves, arrogant lone wolves!
And these witchers are 'snakes'!
A snake hidden in the shadow of a lone wolf!
They have been secretly acting to make up for the last failure, so the 'fog' has quietly descended, and they have become demigods!
Even the 'fog' doesn't know much about it.
Because, the 'snake' is hidden too deeply!
But!
Lucky Wheel Carl found everything!
Wheel Karl wisely saw through all this!
And, the plan was calculated, and the witcher who belonged to the 'snake' was introduced!
As for what they want to do?
Think of that lady!
What they want to do is self-evident!
Call!
Lunkar took a deep breath, he was shocked by what the witcher who belonged to the 'snake' had done.
This is not false.
Rather, real!
Because, when he 'thinks' this, everything becomes 'true'.
At least, he believed it was all true.
Only then will you be able to survive.
Although this will affect his memory, but a little, insignificant memory, compared to his own life, what is it?
Therefore, when he immediately activated the secret method contact array, the expression on his face was eager, panicked, and a little proud.
An illusory, faceless shadow appeared in the secret circle.
"Did it work?"
As soon as the phantom appeared, he asked directly.
"Failed, my lord."
"There's a 'witcher' who stopped me."
"Unlike the previous witchers, he is more secretive and his methods are more weird."
Lunkar said truthfully.
Ripples immediately came from the phantom.
That's a precursor to anger.
But soon, such a precursor disappeared.
"Witcher?"
"Another Witcher?"
The other party asked.
"Yes!"
"'Snake' like witchers, they don't just ......"
Lunkar told him everything he knew.
After listening to Rinkar's description, the phantom fell silent.
"I see."
"You're going back to Etaninburg!"
"I need to know something more exact!"
Said after the moment.
"Yes, sir."
Lunkar bowed and saluted, and the phantom disappeared immediately, Lunkar did not stay for long, and after slightly cleaning up the traces left by himself, the whole person slipped out of the city guard.
All the while, he didn't notice the presence in the shadows in the corners.
After confirming that the other party was far away, Qin Ran walked out.
"Silent Night Order?"
He groaned slightly.
The discovery of Wheelal was an accident, or rather his habitual caution, and he had a suspicion in his mind when he learned from the elite vicious dogs that a scent appeared not only in the mansion of Viscount Sika, in the market where the Withered Branches and the Sleeping Deer were entrenched, and in the sewers where the Water of Decay was hidden, but also near the Yanan Inn.
The seemingly normal Sika City has been caught up in the whirlpool.
However, Qin Ran was not surprised by the appearance of the Silent Night Secret Cult.
This approach is very much in line with Horuff's description of the other party.
And......
It's also a little inexplicably familiar.
'Broker'!
That bastard is pretty good at that, too.
Is there a relationship between the two?
With speculation, Qin Ran returned to his room at the Yanan Hotel.
As soon as he returned to the room, checked it again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he took out the [Lord of Mist] from his arms, which had been beating continuously since the beginning.
At this moment, the [Lord of Mist] is still the size of a palm, but it is becoming more and more crystal clear.
Moreover, it gave Qin Ran a very intimate and fitting feeling.
It's as if your right hand is touching your left hand.
In terms of attributes, there have been a lot of changes.
[Name: Lord of the Mist]
[Type: Sundries]
[Quality: III.]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: III.]

[Need: You who have made the perfect hunt]
[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]
[Note: During the Black Plague, the unexpectedly born item, different from the rough use of the predecessor, it has shown its due ability in your hands, a perfect 'hunt', so that it began to be completely controlled by you, and in the subsequent perfect 'hunt', it became your only one, at this time when you use it, it will become like a finger, and you also feel the honorific title it brings]
……
[Fog Control: Summons a fog with a radius of 300 meters, covering the position in the field of vision; 2 times/day】
[Poisonous Mist Invasion: In the mist, the spread of the poisonous mist judged to be B+ level requires three judgments, the loser of the three judgments will receive fatal toxin damage, the loser of the two times will suffer a powerful level of toxin attack, the loser will suffer a stronger level of toxin attack, and those who pass the three judgments will be protected from the attack of the poisonous mist, but they are still in the fog]

……
[Sika Domain: Within the scope of Sika Territory, the name of 'Mist' has become a unique existence, and you who hold the 'Lord of Mist' can mobilize the fog that appears in the Sika Collar at will, and add poisonous mist, freezing gas, acid rain, and control plants and animals (not exceed the scope of poisonous mist, freezing gas, and acid rain, and the control of plants and animals is equivalent to +1), but it will consume your physical strength depending on the situation. 】

[Blessing: In the Sika Realm, when your followers pray to you, you can expend your stamina to give a Misty Blessing (Misty Blessing: Visible in the fog and able to resist toxins, cold, and acid) or a companion to help the blessing (communicate for a short time, plants or animals)]
……
This feeling of perfect control really made Qin Ran feel comfortable.
There is no need to fight again.
No more restraint is needed.
Everything is your own.
His vision can be clearly seen throughout the Sika Collar.
And as long as someone calls him 'Mist', he can sense where the other person is.
Even if this was only in the Sika Realm, it was enough for Qin Ran to understand how powerful the characteristics of the [Lord of Mist] were.
Holding the [Lord of Mist] in his hand, he can really be called a weak version of the god.
Of course, such weakness is for Qin Ran's cognition.
To the natives of this world, that is the true deity.
That's what Horruf thinks.
When the demonic flame fell from the sky, he discovered that Sikaling was unknowingly involved in the divine war.
The retired witcher did not hesitate to take up arms.
Then, call out to your companions.
There is no doubt that the Colin that Qin Ran is disguised as the person who is powerful and can become a companion in the other party's cognition.
So, here comes Horuff.
Knock, knock.
After knocking on the door, Horruf, who had received permission, hurriedly walked in.
"Something is wrong!"
Horuff said.
"Hmm."
"I know."
"That's what I'm here for."
Qin Ran nodded and said slowly.
"Came for this?"
Horufu frowned, and subconsciously looked at Qin Ran vigilantly.
Looking at the vigilant Horuff, Qin Ran smiled, and he said, "Take it easy, I don't have any ill will towards you, after all, we are in the same camp." ”
"Same faction?"
Horruf was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became more and more puzzled.
Qin Ran stood up, shook his clothes, stretched out his right hand, and said in an extremely formal tone-
"'Serpent Faction' witcher, Colin."
