Chapter 42: Beyond Your Means?
Qin Ran opened the door, and a well-dressed and cleanly dressed man with a tall man holding a narrow box in his hands stood outside the door, one of Webster's servants.
Or rather, bodyguards.
Different from ordinary people's thick joints and sturdy body, standing there carries a fierce aura.
But at this time, the other party was facing Qin Ran with an almost flattering smile, which made the fierce aura weaken a little in an instant.
"Your Excellency D, this is what our boss sent to you."
"He wants you to accept the kindness."
The servant handed the box he was holding in his hand to Qin Ran.
"Hmm."
Qin Ran nodded and took the box.
"Thank you for everything."
"If you have anything you need, come to Villa Webster and we will do our best to do everything you ask for."
Seeing Qin Ran take the box, the servant's smile became more and more attentive, and he said as he retreated.
Seeing the servant disappear at the top of the stairs, Qin Ran retreated to the room, paying attention to the door with his backhand, he lowered his head and looked at the narrow box in his hand.
The box was made of wood with a brass lock, and after opening the box, a short sword placed on scarlet velvet was imprinted into Qin Ran's eyes.
The sword is sharp.
Especially when placed on scarlet velvet, it is like a weapon that kills people without blood.
Of course, this is actually a magic-level dagger.
[Name: Sharp Short Sword]
[Type: Sword Weapon]
[Quality: Magic]
[Attack: Average]
[Attributes: Armor Piercing Lv2, Dexterity Lv1]
[Special Effect: None]
[Requirements: None]
[Note: This is an excellent standard equipment]
……
[Armor Piercing Lv2: Can easily tear through medium armor (defense is judged to be strong)]
[Dexterity Lv1: It won't slow you down]
……
Qin Ran picked it up, gently shook out a sword flower, and after feeling the lightness of nothingness and the sharpness of cutting air, he threw the [Sharp Short Sword] into the backpack.
Although this was a fairly good magic-level short sword, it was nothing to Qin Ran.
On the contrary, the box containing the short sword made Qin Ran care even more.
After Qin Ran carefully examined it, he shook off the velvet in the box, and immediately the envelope at the bottom of the box was revealed.
Looking at the letter placed at the bottom of the box, Qin Ran smiled with interest, and then, just like that, he tore open the letter and read it carefully.
The content of the letter was very simple, roughly saying that Webster wanted Qin Ran to help him investigate the true cause of his son's death.
After reading the letter twice from beginning to end, Qin Ran put down the letter and whispered to himself: "Are you really different?" Or is it a difference in disguise? ”
Of course, Qin Ran's choice of Webster would not be for nothing.
On the note given to him by Baker, there were four families, or two forces to be exact.
Belongs to the official mayor of Sloe. Del, Speaker of the House of Lords, Hardy. Lynn and Moore, a member of the House of Lords, and Webster, a wealthy businessman who belonged to the private sector.
Before, when he saw this note, Qin Ran instantly divided the four.
But he wasn't sure if the seemingly special Webster had anything to do with the other three.
And now?
It's only slightly certain.
After all, if Webster was really related to the other three, in order to make friends and curry favor with him, there was no need to give him a magic-level weapon at all, and directly canceling his wanted was undoubtedly a better way for him at this moment.
Of course, this does not prevent the other party from being suspicious.
"Kirsel, I need you to go and take Mayor Sloe. Del, Speaker of the House of Lords, Hardy. Lynn and Moore, a member of the House of Lords, and Webster all found out. ”
"Don't worry about the price, the coins in your room are at your disposal."
Qin Ran commanded.
"Yes, sir."
After sending the letter to Webster, the 'Hyacinth', who had been hiding in Qin Ran's room, set off again.
Along with them were the High Spirits.
Compared to Kossel, who gathers intelligence, the mission of the High Evil Spirit is naturally dangerous.
And, more importantly –
It can't refuse yet.
What makes it even more congested is that it still works day jobs.
Ever since it changed the contract with its contractor and discovered its hidden abilities, it has found that its contractor is simply squeezing its value every moment, as if it were the owner of a black-hearted factory, and it has become a poor 'child'. work', a posture of not trying to escape until you die.
But the question is......
In general, it really can't die.
The high-level evil spirit, who has always regarded the 'immortal' trait as the proudest of all, inexplicably felt a little melancholy at this time.
Completely ignoring the resentment that came from the end of the contract, Qin Ran got up and walked downstairs.
He needed to ask Raglan something extremely important.
As for the High Spirits?
Where did he have the time to pay attention to the other party.
It seemed that he had discovered Qin Ran's attitude towards himself, and the high-level evil spirit that had changed into an ordinary person was once again, and he couldn't help but tighten the clothes on his body.
It's cold.
……
The high-level evil spirit was cold, but Qin Ran felt warm.
As soon as I walked into Raglan's room, the unextinguished light of the charcoal brazier dispelled the chill of the early morning, and the warm breath came to my face.
Qin Ran, who entered Raglan's room for the first time, subconsciously looked at Raglan's room.
The innkeeper seemed to be used to it, and after Qin Ran finished looking, he picked up the only chair in the room and put it in front of Qin Ran.
"Sit."
Raglan sat down on his bed as he spoke, and when he saw Qin Ran's gaze checking the chair again, he couldn't help humming in his heart.
"Or not?"
"So cautious to change. Who else but the witcher? ”
Although the innkeeper was slightly dissatisfied with Qin Ran's concealment of his identity in his heart, his words were still so straightforward.
"What's wrong?"
The innkeeper asked.
"Do you know anything about IDEX?"
Qin Ran asked rhetorically.
"Where?"
The innkeeper blinked.
"Mayor Sloe. Del, Speaker of the House of Lords, Hardy. Lynn and Moore, a member of the House of Lords, and Webster. ”
Qin Ran asked.
Qin Ran would never put his eggs in one basket.
Even if there is a 'hyacinth' to find out the news, he will not let go of more sources.
"You're so fast!"
"It took two days to find out about them."
"Sloe. Del and Moore are fine. ”
"The key guy is Hardy. Beautiful jade. ”
The innkeeper said with his arms crossed.
"Well, what about Webster?"
Qin Ran naturally grabbed the person who was ignored in the innkeeper's words.
Of course, the other party can't really ignore it.
Unless......
Thinking of Qin Ran, his gaze was on the innkeeper's face, and then, he saw a sarcastic smile.
"That guy?"
"I'm just an idiot who can't do anything."
The innkeeper gave such an assessment.
But immediately, when the phone rang in the room, and the innkeeper picked it up and understood the words in the microphone, the innkeeper's face changed.
At such a close distance, Qin Ran could hear the voice in the microphone very clearly.
It was a man's voice.
The other party said, Hardy. Lynn died.
Killed by Webster.
