Chapter 20: Suffering
Airplanes!
The soft sound of metal came from the long sword in the opponent's hand.
The long sword, the blade of which was originally dark without a trace of coldness, looked like a charred wooden stick, but with this light sound, it glowed green.
It's not the emerald green of life.
It's a kind of dullness, like a green with gray added to it.
The first time people see it, they feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
Qin Ran is no exception.
He looked at the long sword in the other party's hand, and frowned subconsciously.
It's in between.
Call!
The blood-soaked floor of the room, where bones hung and stumps and severed arms, suddenly burst into flames.
Not a normal crimson flame, but ......
Green!
It is very similar to the green light on the long sword in the opponent's hand.
The next moment, these green flames, like the milk swallow returning to its nest, were pulled by a special force, and they rushed towards the long sword.
Qin Ran's heart sank, and his fingers were about to pull the trigger.
But the scene that appeared immediately was beyond Qin Ran's expectations.
Syllable!
The other party threw the long sword in front of him in avoidance, turned around and jumped into the big hole in the roof.
"Run!"
And don't forget to inform Qin Ran before leaving.
Although Qin Ran didn't know why the scene in front of him had happened, and he wouldn't believe his opponent's words, the sense of crisis that appeared in his intuition made him know what to do.
【Armor of Prus】
【Raven's Swiftness】
As soon as the bracer flashed, a layer of defensive force field immediately appeared on the surface of Qin Ran's body, and the cloak full of black feathers trembled slightly, and the whole person rushed out like an arrow from the string.
When Qin Ran rushed out of the house-
Rumble!
A huge explosion appeared.
A green fireball, rising from the night sky, more than three meters in diameter, was shot in all directions with a powerful current of air wrapped in broken wood, gravel, and some bones with a force comparable to that of a powerful crossbow.
Whoosh!
In the extremely fast sound of breaking the air, the range of forty or fifty meters in diameter was affected.
Qin Ran, who was running hard, was also affected.
However, with the powerful level defense brought by the [Armor of Prus], it was difficult for such a wave to cause any damage to Qin Ran at all.
But Qin Ran, who turned his head to look, was full of horror in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that he had already left the core range of the explosion, even if he had the [Armor of Prussia], I am afraid that it would be difficult to be spared.
Just look at the explosion point that has been flattened to the ground, leaving only a pit nearly two meters deep, and you can imagine how powerful it was.
You know, it was originally a house of seven or eight rooms.
"Trap!"
"It's a trap for that shadow!"
"Both sides are unusually familiar, one side is pursuing, and the other is arranging."
"And I'm just the pond fish that happened to get into it!"
Qin Ran recalled the previous scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile wryly, and then, he immediately turned around to look for the fat figure who was submerged in masonry, hoping to get some clues from the other party's mouth.
Although everything seemed to be at the right time, the green flame made Qin Ran instinctively think of the green juice after the bodies of Rank and the coachman melted.
Moreover, Culkin's previous description of the dark sub-room was too detailed.
It's not like a makeshift lie.
Of course, maybe all this is just a coincidence.
But what if not?
This made Qin Ran involuntarily speed up the pace of returning.
From his current angle, he could clearly see the appearance of the other party buried under the masonry.
When the top beam was removed, the other party with a red and swollen forehead appeared in front of Qin Ran.
"Hit the head, fell into a coma, and was buried by masonry."
"But it was precisely because of the burial of the masonry that we were able to avoid being more affected by the explosion."
"Good luck!"
Qin Ran put his fat body on his shoulders and quickly ran towards the darkness on one side.
And behind him, the patrolmen who realized it appeared again.
Same as before.
There was also no trace of Qin Ran.
……
When Qin Ran returned to Herbert's residence, it was already around three o'clock in the morning.
Aside from what Herbert himself was still writing, there were only two coachmen left who took turns keeping vigil, and Joanna and the cook were already asleep in the tent.
Harold sat by the campfire with a long sword in his arms, snoring slightly.
The young man insisted on joining the vigil, but it didn't seem to work very well.
"Good harvest?"
Herbert looked at Qin Ran, who was carrying the person on his shoulder, put down the pencil in his hand, and quipped while rubbing his wrist.
"It's really good!"
Qin Ran put down the big guy on his shoulder.
The other person's weight is as heavy as the fat figure that the other person sees.
Even, a little heavier.
If it weren't for the other party, Qin Ran would definitely be able to come back earlier.
"There's something else to do besides this big guy!"
Qin Ran did not hide the matter of Culkin and the other party's coachman.
He hoped to get some help from Herbert.
After all, the other party is a knowledgeable 'scholar' and will most likely know what happened to Culkin and the other coachman.
Moreover, even if he doesn't say it, the big guy who is unconscious next to him will say something once he wakes up.
Instead of that, it's better to take the initiative and ask for help.
"Faces rotting like they've been burned by flames?"
"And yet be able to maintain mental clarity?"
"With your skin muscles, you can not be afraid of ordinary swords?"
"What kind of creature is this?"
"Looks like a legendary monster!"
"No, no, it's a little different, those monsters are even taller!"
"That's ......"
Herbert muttered to himself.
The whole person fell into the immersion state that Qin Ran had seen before.
Suddenly, Qin Ran shrugged.
The previous experience told Qin Ran that once Herbert fell into this state, all he could do was wait quietly.
However, for such a wait, Qin Ran was full of expectations this time.
Because, from Herbert's muttering, he can confirm that Herbert has some clues about the changes between Culkin and the other coachman.
"A long night!"
Qin Ran added two pieces of dry wood to the bonfire, and couldn't help but let out a long breath as he looked at the splashing sparks and the increasingly vigorous flames.
Then, Qin Ran narrowed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
He knew very well that after dawn, more things would await him.
Of course, there will still be vigilance.
You know, that fat guy is by his side, once he wakes up, Qin Ran doesn't think that the two coachmen can deal with each other, even if they are armed with weapons.
The other party who continuously broke and collapsed the door and wall, although he was finally knocked out by the beam, but his head was basically fine except for some redness and swelling.
In other parts, even the skin has not been scratched a bit.
Qin Ran, who had examined the other party's body, could come to such a conclusion with certainty.
The opponent showed extraordinary defensive power.
This kind of defense is enough to make Qin Ran guess a little more.
"Did the other party have a similar 'mutation' with Culkin and the coachman?"
Qin Ran thought as he relaxed his body.
Except for the slight crackling of firewood in the campfire, there was no sound in the vicinity of the entire dwelling.
When the two coachmen made another handover, the morning sun dispelled the last trace of darkness in the sky.
A new day begins.
Jona, who had just crawled out of the tent, let out an exclamation.
The girl's gaze looked into the distance.
There, six or seven heavily armed men were walking towards it.
Moreover, farther away, as far as the girl could see, there were more people walking towards here.
PS First Update~
The hospital queue is even more difficult than decadent imagined......
I didn't do anything in the morning + morning, so I lined up, and then I was treated, and it was almost five o'clock when I got home from decadence, and I knew that I went out at eight o'clock in the morning!
Alas!
This is the first chapter of today!
Chapter 2, Decadence is working the code!
Again, I'm sorry to everyone. (To be continued.) )
