"One of the goals too?!"

Mary was stunned for a moment, raised her head and looked at Qin Ran with a slight stunnedness.

Obviously, the underage princess didn't understand what Qin Ran meant by saying this.

Perikna, on the other hand, guessed something, and a thoughtful look appeared on her face, but the female leader of the Serpent Sect did not say much.

She quietly waited for Qin Ran's explanation to Mary.

"Your father is the target of the other side."

"Turner is also a target for the other side."

"The other party's goals are two from beginning to end."

Qin Ran said this.

"Two?!"

The obvious hint made Mary react instantly.

But then, her brow furrowed.

"Why?"

Mary asked subconsciously.

"I don't know."

"So, we're going to ask them about it."

Qin Ran stopped, and in front of him was a two-and-a-half-story house, just like most of the houses in the downtown area of Raldry, with shops on the first floor, a living room on the second floor, and a terrace on it, and of course, a basement where goods were stored.

In order to have as much shop area as possible, there are no so-called 'courtyards' for the houses here, and most of the courtyards are included in the shops on the first floor.

The houses in front of you are no exception.

The palm-colored façade, two large enough display windows, and one door are tightly sealed like the window.

Although the signboard was deliberately taken away when the owner left, Qin Ran still had a rough guess based on the layout seen from the gap in the window.

This is supposed to be a tailor's shop.

Of course, this is before.

Now it has become a stronghold for the murderer who intends to assassinate the king.

There was no need for more investigation, just relying on perception, Qin Ran locked on the three people inside.

As for more?

There is no need.

If this was still the original downtown area, Qin Ran would still be afraid of some innocent people, but now?

It's really much more convenient!

Bang!

In the violent collision sound, the two-and-a-half-story building in front of him, along with the alarms and traps in it, were all shattered under the collision of the huge [Snake Spirit].

And in the face of three living goals?

The 20-meter-long two-headed serpent spirit has shown remarkable talent.

The huge illusory change of body caused the attacks of the three targets to be missed.

Whether it was a short sword or a flying knife, they all penetrated the body of the [Snake Spirit], and then ......

Their bodies were entangled by the [Snake Spirit] and brought to Qin Ran's face.

The whole process takes less than three seconds.

When the underage princess was still wondering if there would be a fierce battle, the battle was already over.

In fact, the female leader of the snake faction was also a little unresponsive.

Everything happened so fast.

It was so fast that she didn't even react.

Looking at the huge, illusory two-headed snake, envy flashed in the eyes of the female leader of the snake faction.

As the inheritor of the snake faction, Perikna was born with an indescribable affection for snakes, and snakes, which were dangerous and feared in the eyes of ordinary people, were safe and reliable companions in her eyes.

Unfortunately, her partner was also killed.

Those damn bastards!

The murderous aura appeared irrepressibly in the heart of the female leader of the snake faction.

Such murderous aura is extremely obvious.

Qin Ran and Mary noticed it.

The three captured captives were also aware of it.

And on the face of one of them, panic appeared.

The panic was fleeting.

Maybe in the eyes of others, such panic would be ignored, but for Qin Ran, it would not be at all.

After summoning the [Snake Spirit], Qin Ran, who seemed to be careless, had already been engrossed.

There are too many things about overturning in the gutter.

Qin Ran didn't want to be a topic of conversation after dinner.

"Do you know Perikna?"

"Obviously, Perikna doesn't know anything about you."

"And as it happens, Perikna's organization has undergone an unimaginable raid - so, do you have anything to do with it?"

Qin Ran walked in front of the other party and asked slowly.

With such a speed of speaking, the body of the [Snake Spirit] involuntarily contracted, and the muscles and bones of the three of them immediately made a burst of sounds.

However, none of the three had any intention of speaking.

Gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Facing such a captive, the corners of Qin Ran's mouth curled, revealing a heartfelt smile.

Not an inherently tyrannical character.

It's about facing the joy of harvest.

The performance of the other three was enough to make Qin Ran understand that he had an unexpected gain.

"The remnants of another snake faction will assassinate James VIII......"

"Interesting!"

Qin Ran, who was guessing something, had a glint in his eyes, and after quickly raising his hand to knock the three of them unconscious, he looked at Perikna, who was a little stunned.

From the other party's expression, he didn't find out that this was a coincidental arrangement.

But this does not hinder Qin Ran's advice.

"The three of them are in your custody for the time being."

"Remember, it's just custody, not interrogation."

Qin Ran said.

"Yes, sir."

The female leader of the Serpent Sect bowed in reply.

"Do you need to keep people here?"

The underage princess asked.

"No, I don't."

"When the palace guards charge head-on, they are commendable, but against these guys hiding in the shadows, they will only lose in vain."

"Trust me, they're more ruthless than you think."

"Same ......"

"They can't wait longer than you think."

Qin Ran said very firmly.

"So we're just going to wait for them to come to the door?"

The underage princess asked again.

"Of course not."

Passive defense has never been Qin Ran's style.

He prefers to take the initiative to attack!

Before that, though, he had some doubts in his mind that he needed to ask James VIII.

"Let's go to your father."

Qin Ran said and returned the same way.

And in the air, a crimson figure flickered away, falling into a shadow, overlooking the whole of Raldry.

The actions of the city could not hide these eyes that were sharper than the eyes of the falcon.

It may not be possible to do it all, but keeping an eye on one place is a breeze for the fire crow.

And a slightly petite figure only left the shadows as cautiously as Qin Ran after Qin Ran and the three left, and the frost wolf sniffed the surrounding smells according to Qin Ran's instructions, and then quickly got into the street on the side and ran quickly.

……

Warren Palace.

In James VIII's new room, His Majesty the King had woken up leisurely, his pale face and a rare red color after seeing his old friend Adal.

The two talked in a low voice.

Outside the door, the court doctor told Mary.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty's health has reached an extremely bad state."

"He can't stand any blows."

"Therefore, Mr. Turner's death, please do not inform Your Majesty for the time being."

"If only Mr. Turner hadn't died...... It's a shame. ”

The palace doctor's words full of sighs made the underage princess look at Qin Ran with embarrassment.

She knows exactly what is crucial.

He also knew what would happen if he let his father hear about Turner's death.

Even though she was dissatisfied with her father at first, Mary, who was kind-hearted, still didn't want her father to pass away like this.

"Who said Mr. Turner was dead?"

"He was only slightly injured."

Qin Ran raised his hand and put it on top of Mary's head, looked at the underage princess with a embarrassed face, and whispered with a smile.

And with such words, footsteps suddenly sounded on the side.

Turner!

It's the dead Turner!

'He' walked out slowly and bowed to Qin Ran.

"Your Excellency."
