"Secret."

Facing Perikna's inquiry, Qin Ran replied like this.

He wouldn't tell the other party in detail, it all relied on the credit of the frost wolf and the fire crow.

In fact, with the frostwolf's sense of smell and the fire crow's eyesight, he had already mastered the movements of the remnants of another snake faction, and even knew how many strongholds the other party had.

To put it simply, if the other party didn't care about the few captives he caught, he was ready to take the initiative.

However, from now on, there is no need at all.

Moreover, it also made Qin Ran understand that among the six captives he captured before and after, there must be one or several of them that were extremely valuable.

Hearing Qin Ran's answer, the female leader of the snake sect was stunned.

Then, without waiting for her to ask again, Qin Ran walked directly to the smiling Mary.

Among all the people present, they were extremely apprehensive when they heard Qin Ran's plan.

Even with hundreds of heavily armed palace guards, it was the same.

Everyone knows the gap between ordinary soldiers and people of the genre.

Even with the help of a bow and crossbow, it can only achieve some effect by surprise.

As for more?

Unless the number of people has reached a kind of extreme.

Otherwise, it's impossible.

But Mary is different.

Mary completely trusted Qin Ran.

Even, when Qin Ran said this simple plan, he agreed without thinking about it.

For Mary, what Qin Ran said would be done.

Even if you are facing another snake faction that can easily wipe out the remnants of the original snake faction, it is the same.

And didn't the facts prove that she was right?

"Let the Crow Sect cooperate with the soldiers to clean up the battlefield."

"There won't be any clues, but there's no guarantee that there will be any surprises."

Qin Ran said so.

"Hmm."

"Got it."

Mary smiled and nodded, arranged it very neatly, and then turned her head to look at Qin Ran and asked, "Do you need a supper?" ”

"Okay."

Qin Ran nodded without hesitation.

And during this period of time when the supper was served, Qin Ran, who returned to his room, put today's harvest on the table in a row.

All three are Rare level items.

They were a fist-sized crystal ball from the Southern reinforcement camp, and the remaining two were just harvested, one was a dagger and the other was a statue of a snake.

……

Qin Ran's gaze withdrew from the three pieces of rare equipment, and his eyebrows couldn't help but furrow.

Of the three rare-level props, except for the [Undercurrent Dagger], the remaining two actually required special pre-positions, which was not good news for Qin Ran.

Whether it's mystical knowledge (Yu Sen. proficient), or occult knowledge (snake pie. proficient), for Qin Ran, they are all temporarily unreachable.

Of course, Qin Ran was not without other gains.

At least, he knew something that wasn't mentioned in The Theory of Genres.

"Sword skills and knowledge."

"Is it a complete inheritance?"

Qin Ran whispered to himself, walked to the door, raised his hand and opened the door.

Outside the door, Adal, who had just raised his hand to knock on the door, was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

"I forgot that you are a strong man with one enemy and one army."

"Naturally, I can't hide the sound of my footsteps."

As he spoke, he signaled if he could go in.

Qin Ran, who knew what the other party was here for, turned to one side and invited the other party into his room in the Warren Palace.

"It's a little smaller than I expected, and the layout doesn't match your strength."

Adal walked into the room and said in surprise when he saw the room that only had to be furnished for life.

"If there is a foundation, it is enough."

Qin Ran replied.

"If I hadn't known that you weren't in moderation with your diet, I would have thought you were an ascetic."

Adal said, taking a deep breath.

Then, abruptly, he said.

"Thank you."

"No, you don't."

Qin Ran shook his head.

The other party thanked James VIII.

And he was because of Mary.

Although the two are father and daughter, this does not mean that Qin Ran will confuse the relationship.

In Qin Ran's view, Mary is Mary.

James VIII is James VIII.

If it weren't for Mary, Qin Ran wouldn't have paid attention to the other party's life or death.

Adal looked at Qin Ran with a staring gaze.

This gaze lasted for more than a dozen seconds.

Then, the former Chincha, now the old earl, sighed slightly.

"If there were more options, I would like to inform someone kinder."

"But now I don't have a choice."

"Do you want to know why those men assassinated Turner at the same time as they assassinated James VIII?"

"Or do you want to know the secret that James VIII is hiding?"

The old man asked.

"I don't want to."

Qin Ran replied simply.
