Chapter 37: Failure
The ground shook slightly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
A cavalry team of 100 people rushed past Qin Ran and the three of them at a gallop.
The direction in which the cavalry was advancing informed Qin Ran of their destination: Tita Town.
"It should be Signer's reinforcements......"
"Why are they reacting so quickly?"
Bosco, who was climbing on the hill, whispered to himself in confusion.
"As you said, that Jenny. Lady James is far more powerful than we think, and even in Tita Town, she might have her eyeliner! ”
Qin Ran didn't have any surprise.
After knowing who the enemy was, he had already been well prepared.
This is especially true after asking Bosco about the other party's life in detail.
Jenny. James, the sister of James VIII.
A character who lost the throne because of the decision of the previous king, but is still unwilling to be lonely.
The other party personally set up no less than ten secret organizations, and his subordinates are all over the royal capital, including the people around James VIII, there are also secret sons of the other party.
As for the bright side?
According to Bosco, at least the one who had pursued Jenny in his youth. James's War Secretary was one of the lady's staunchest supporters.
And more than sixty percent of the entire kingdom's army is related to the military minister.
If it weren't for some old aristocrats standing firmly by James VIII's side, His Majesty the King in Bosco's mouth would have been replaced before he ascended the throne.
But even so, that James VIII was having a bad time.
Not only could she not protect Mary's mother, but she was also unable to protect herself.
Qin Ran inquired in detail about the 'monster' attack that James VIII encountered during his winter hunt.
It can only be summarized in two words: coincidence.
But it was so much of a coincidence, so much so that it seemed as if someone had arranged it in advance.
In fact, moments before James VIII was injured and fell into a coma, Janine . James has taken complete control of the palace.
As for why not just do James VIII and ascend to the throne himself?
It's not that I don't care about the love of my sister and brother.
It's just that James VIII has a wizard by his side who claims to be Warren's strongest wizard.
The other party's insistence allowed James VIII to live for a while longer,
However, this is the limit.
The other party, who has not been out for a long time, did not stop it in name, Jenny. James' infiltration of the court, the royal capital, and the entire Warren Kingdom.
Qin Ran was now quite sure that the assassin he saw at Fort Swut that night was Jane. James's people.
Only in this way can everything in front of us have a reasonable explanation.
The Assassin witnessed the corpses of Signe and the others, and sent back the news.
Then, Janie. James sent reinforcements.
The hundred knights in front of him were only a small part of the reinforcements.
The real big forces are yet to come!
"Trouble!"
"We must get to Thunder Fortress as soon as possible!"
"Only when we get there can we wait for the only help!"
Bosco said with a solemn face.
"Thunder Fortress?"
Qin Ran asked.
"That's the hole card that His Majesty left me!"
Bosco said this, but did not reveal what it was.
Qin Ran didn't ask either.
He looked at Mary.
"Are you ready?"
"There will be an innumerable number of enemies ahead of us......"
"If you're leaving, this is your last chance!"
Qin Ran said.
"You said you were going to send me to the royal capital!"
The girl emphasized, with a resolute expression.
"So ......"
"Let's go!"
Qin Ran jumped on a war horse, and under the guidance of Bosco, he chose to walk away from the avenue and in the middle of nowhere.
Even, in order to avoid possible pursuers, they began to lie dormant by day.
However, even so, the battle was inevitable.
That Jenny. Ms. James was even more powerful than Qin Ran imagined, and sent pursuers again and again, extremely accurately pursuing and intercepting Qin Ran's group of three.
But the final effect was to add a few low-grade magical equipment to Qin Ran as trophies.
Time passed day by day.
Jenny. James's pursuers did not reappear on the tenth day.
But neither Qin Ran, nor Mary, nor Bosco were happy about this.
They know very well that the other party who will not give up must be preparing.
The next time the pursuer appears......
That's when the opponent lifts up his hole cards.
But this did not stop Qin Ran and his party from moving forward.
When the time came to the end of the second weekend and the beginning of the third week, Qin Ran and his party came to a mountain nest not far from the Thunder Fortress.
The wind at night, cut off by the ridges.
Exhausted, Mary leaned against the warm campfire with her sword in her arms and fell into a deep sleep.
Qin Ran was busy in front of the bonfire.
When the water in the pot boils, the wild vegetables and meat pieces are put into it one by one.
The wild vegetables are collected from the road, and the meat pieces are from several hares, and the hares that are still in the autumn are very fat, whether they are roasted or boiled, they are quite a good choice.
However, considering the cold after dark, boiling soup has become the first choice.
An hour later, when Qin Ran lifted the lid of the pot and picked up the wooden spoon to stir the almost milky white soup in the pot, the huge pieces of meat tumbled.
Unparalleled level of [cooking], easy to control the dishes in front of you.
Even if there is not enough seasoning, after Qin Ran specially selected wild vegetables remove the fishy smell and enhance the umami, the soup in front of him immediately exudes an attractive fragrance.
Suddenly, Mary, who had fallen into a deep sleep, woke up because of exhaustion.
When Qin Ran took out the dry bread she was carrying, the girl had already habitually taken out her bowl.
If there is anything else she can look forward to along the way, the food made by Qin Ran is definitely the first.
The pursuers appeared again and again behind him.
Level after level ahead.
It seemed like an endless journey, and it was really an ordeal for Mary.
But under such suffering, Mary's growth surprised Qin Ran.
From holding the [Sword of Thorns] with difficulty, to now carrying it on his back without hindrance, it has only been two weeks.
"Eat early and rest, at dawn, we have a big battle!"
Qin Ran broke the sturdy dry bread that could be used as a stick, handed it to Mary, and watched the other party submerge the bread into the bowl full of soup, and couldn't help but speak.
Qin Ran planned to pass through the Thunder Fortress at dawn that completely blocked the road to Leerdry.
"Hmm!"
Mary nodded.
Despite Bosco, the king's chaplain has said more than once that there will be assistance when he arrives at Thunder Fortress.
But the two-week peers, whether it was Qin Ran or Mary, all had a deeper understanding of this Qincha's character, and the part that the other party could believe was only thirty percent at most.
The so-called aid?
The two were hopeless.
Therefore, when Bosco really appeared with people, Qin Ran and Mary were surprised.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's like I've been talking big!"
Bosko spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders with a smug look on his face, but when he saw the pot that was more than half empty, the smugness on the king's face vanished.
"Didn't we say we'd wait for me to come back and start dinner?"
Bosco grumbled.
When the minister first discovered Qin Ran's cooking skills, it was as if he had seen a meteor fall to the earth.
Even now, Bosko can't believe that a wizard would be a great chef.
There are so few painting styles.
But one thing is certain, that is, what Qin Ran made, even if it lacks ingredients and seasonings, is still delicious.
Bosco had already guessed more than once whether Qin Ran had applied magic on food.
But such speculation did not stop Bosco from pursuing delicious food.
Therefore, Bosco is eager to rush to the pot at this moment.
But the people around him made Bosco have to stop.
"This is Master Fandel...... Warren's strongest wizard! ”
Bosco said after a deliberate pause.
The king's cha wanted to see the surprise on Qin Ran's face.
It's a pity that Qin Ran has a calm face.
"Okay, leave it to a big man like you, I'd better eat."
Bosko said and ran to the pot.
Leaving Qin Ran and Fandel looking at each other.
The man in front of him was a middle-aged man, with thick, jet-black hair, a large beard, and extremely bright eyes.
Moreover, the body is strong, and the staff that is one person tall in his hand also has a considerable weight.
Qin Ran didn't doubt the other party's melee strength in the slightest.
If it weren't for Bosco's introduction, Qin Ran really wouldn't be able to connect the other party with Warren's strongest wizard.
First, the age of the other party.
Although wizards are not stronger the older they get, they need more time to learn enough knowledge, so most powerful wizards are elders.
Second, the other party's strong body shape and temperament.
It's really more like a knight than a wizard.
The body shape can be said to be innate, but the temperament is not, but it is cultivated.
"Have you honed your skills on the battlefield?"
Qin Ran guessed.
"2567?"
"I'm so happy to hear you've caused a lot of trouble to that guy lately!"
Compared with Qin Ran's guess, Fandel in front of him was much more direct.
The wizard with the physique and temperament of a knight showed a hearty smile as he spoke, and then said straightly: "Come on, let's return to the royal capital!" ”
After that, he wrote and drew on the ground.
A magic array that Qin Ran couldn't identify appeared on the ground.
After Fandel motioned for everyone to stand in the magic array, the other party's lips trembled slightly, and the silent incantation stimulated the power of the magic array.
But......
The light flashed, but nothing happened.
Qin Ran and his entourage were still standing in place.
Suddenly, Qin Ran frowned.
