Just when Qin Ran was shocked and was about to strike first, the black shadow suddenly took two steps back, and then, one turned around, turning into a standing posture with his back against the dead tree.

The other's gaze scanned the darkness in front of them.

"Come out!"

The other party said.

As the other party spoke, a figure loomed in the darkness in the distance.

"Is there anyone else?"

Qin Ran, who was standing in the shadows, frowned.

Although he had just focused all his attention on the black shadow in front of him, it didn't mean that Qin Ran didn't care about his surroundings, he always distracted himself from his surroundings.

However, before this figure took the initiative to appear, he didn't even notice the other party.

"What a high-level [stealth]!"

"No, no, it's not just [stealth] anymore, there are other skills mixed in!"

Qin Ran watched the figure pacing in the darkness, and his whole person seemed to stir up the dark skills around him, and his eyes couldn't help but widen.

For Qin Ran, who had a peerless level [Stealth], it was easy to judge that the other party's [Stealth] level had exceeded the level of Peerless.

And, it seems, there are some other tricks mixed in.

However, Qin Ran didn't marvel too much at this technique.

Because, at the moment, he was completely thinking about another question.

"When did the other party come?"

Qin Ran's heart lifted.

Was it before him, or after him?

If it's the latter, there's room for redemption, but if it's the former, it's a vicious battle.

This is what Qin Ran does not want to see.

You know, he's on the run right now.

Once exposed, it will attract endless pursuits.

And among the pursuers, there will inevitably be a strong man of the level of Stegna.

Thinking of Stegna, Qin Ran's palms were sweating.

Nervousness spreads through my heart.

However, this did not make Qin Ran's mind so confused that he couldn't even control his breathing.

He was well aware that the situation he was facing was not at its worst.

Everything was just his guess.

And it's not necessarily true!

Quickly reining in his mind, Qin Ran looked at the two figures out of the corner of his eye.

The later figure, at this time, had already stood in front of the previous black shadow, and the two were facing each other, standing less than five meters apart.

"Are you nervous?"

"Lord Moldler!"

"Are you guilty of murdering your two younger brothers?"

"Or repentance for the souls that died inside Merck Castle?"

"Or ...... Feeling guilty for having to kill Graton for your allegiance? ”

The later figure was wearing a wide robe, which obscured the proper figure, and the voice of the shadow made the other party even more unpredictable.

In particular, the continuous inquiries in the words are like the low hiss of a midnight ghost.

Because that's not a loud question.

It's just a mocking exposition.

There is also a hint of schadenfreude.

The other party's way of speaking made Qin Ran feel uncomfortable.

He frowned slightly.

As for the identity of the Black Shadow?

It didn't surprise Qin Ran.

Graton's performance was enough for Qin Ran to know who the other party was.

Moldler.

The eldest son of Grand Duke Merck.

Considered the best of the three sons of Grand Duke Merck.

The heir to it as a matter of course.

These were all things that Hans told Qin Ran when he entered the dungeon world.

Qin Ran believed that Hans would not conceal or deceive such information.

Therefore, Qin Ran didn't understand why Moldler, as the first heir in line, did these useless works.

After all, with the other party's prestige in the Duchy of Merck, he only needs to wait quietly for the Grand Duke of Merck to grow old, and he can sit in the position of Grand Duke openly.

Moreover, this time will not be too long.

According to Hans's description, Archduke Merck is already over half a hundred years old, and although his strength is still strong, the scars left by the battle when he was young have begun to torment the archduke.

There must be something hidden in it.

Qin Ran thought in his heart, listening to the two of them more carefully, hoping to find out Moldler's secret.

"Felin, do you know why you can't get on the stage all the time?"

"It's because of your obnoxious attitude!"

The eldest son of the Grand Duke said slowly.

"Hey, why should I be on the stage?"

"I'm just a dog of Your Highness!"

"Whoever Your Highness asks me to bite, I will bite whomever I want!"

"Even you, Lord Moldler!"

The figure who was called to break his identity admitted it very calmly.

But Qin Ran in the shadows on the side was shocked from the bottom of his heart.

Ferrin?

Shouldn't it be dead?

Dead in the auditorium!

Killed by Stegner!

Don't......

An idea suddenly appeared in Qin Ran's heart.

And at this time, the eldest son of the Grand Duke spoke again.

"Yes, you are an obedient dog, obedient to the point that you don't even want your life!"

"Moreover, in order to lure Graton out of me, you forcibly received a sword from the teacher, which made Graton suspicious in his heart...... Poor Graton, he didn't know until he died that you had led him to the land of death! ”

The eldest son sighed.

Then the gaze that looked at Ferrin turned cold.

"However, the teacher's sword is not comfortable, right?"

"How much strength do you have now?"

"Fifty percent? Forty percent? Or less? ”

The eldest son of the Grand Duke slowly grasped the hilt of his sword.

"You're overestimating Stegner!"

"It's too underestimating me!"

"I dare to risk my life, and I am sure of it—just as I was suspicious of Stegner when he appeared before the Grand Duke ten years ago!"

Fei Lin replied quizzetically.

It doesn't seem to care at all about the threat of the eldest duke's eldest son drawing his sword.

On the contrary, there is some anticipation.

"That's why you're so prepared to grasp my plan this time?"

The eldest son of the Grand Duke, who clenched the hilt of his sword, did not draw his sword immediately.

He seemed to wonder where he had gone wrong.

"No, no!"

"It's another story!"

"It's because the invasion of the Duchy of Titans is really sudden!"

"It's so abrupt that I don't receive any information from my eyeliner and shadows!"

"This is really a question for me, as an advisor to the Grand Duke and in charge of shadow affairs, so I have to work harder to investigate some things!"

"As a result, I found a surprise!"

There was smugness in Ferrin's words.

The son of the Grand Duke did not speak, and waited quietly for the other party to continue.

"That unexpected joy is ......"

Like a cat playing with mice, Ferrin not only deliberately lengthened his nasal voice, but also looked at Moldler's expression playfully.

"You are not the son of His Highness!"

"Although you have the name of His Highness's son, you have no blood relationship with Your Highness, you are just an orphan who was kindly adopted by His Highness!"

"Your Highness's kindness has caused the backlash of your white-eyed wolf today!"

"I should have killed you before I did!"

"Even if you are executed by Your Highness!"

"But it's not too late!"

When Fei Lin said this, the whole person was already fierce, and in the gloomy voice, a cold killing intent appeared.

Layers of shadows, turning into a thin veil, moved around Felin.

The next moment, with a deadly aura, pounced on Moldler.

"I surrender!"

Just as the shadows were close at hand, the eldest son of the Grand Duke suddenly raised his hands.
