Hans looked at Qin Ran, then at Lawlessness, and a wry smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Remember my captor?"

He asked.

"Stegner, Grand Duke Merck's master swordsmanship."

"He is also the swordsmanship teacher of the three sons of Grand Duke Merck."

"You're saying he's the Masked Man?"

Qin Ran recalled the person Stegner mentioned by Hans, and his brows furrowed.

Because, at that time, Hans was much more than that.

The first in the swordsmanship of the Principality of Merck, the strongest general under the command of the Grand Duke of Merck, etc., is the prefix of the opponent's name.

"Hmm!"

"I guess he's the Masked Man, and the feeling he had when he passed by me before was the same as the feeling he gave me in my memory!"

Hans nodded, the wry smile on his face growing more and more bitter.

"Moreover, the process of entering the Grand Duke's Treasure Room at that time was so smooth!"

"It went so smoothly that it was completely pre-arranged!"

"In particular, the news of the treasure room was also something I overheard......"

"Now it seems, these are all traps!"

"The other party has premeditated, and they are all preparing for this rebellion!"

"I am willing to guarantee by contract that everything I say is true!"

Speaking of this, Hans took a deep breath.

It seems that he wants to suppress all the boiling emotions.

However, his expression was far from calming.

Obviously, there are some who cannot accept the fact that they are being calculated by the aborigines.

Lawlessness on the side patted Hans on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

At the same time, his eyes looked at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran's frowning brows did not unwind with Hans's explanation.

On the contrary, he wrinkled tighter.

Because, he thought of more things.

"Those rebels were brought into the castle by Stegner in the name of 'capturing' you?"

"Even if Stegner is 'arresting' you, he won't be able to bring so many people into the castle!"

"Someone has to help!"

As he spoke, Qin Ran threw out a name.

"Le Grande, don't forget this second son of Grand Duke Merck, who also wears the same mask!"

"Also, the young son of Grand Duke Merck, poor Ridrel, was slain by his own guards!"

"After tying it all together, I had an idea!"

Qin Ran took a deep breath and said slowly.

"The second son of the Grand Duke was unwilling to let his brother take over the title of Grand Duke, so he launched this rebellion and took advantage of the situation to eliminate another competitor - his younger brother!"

"Impossible!"

"Even if the rebellion of the second son of the Grand Duke succeeds, with the merits of the eldest son of Grand Duke Merck, and the fact that he is loved by everyone, it is impossible for the second son of the Grand Duke to obtain the title of Grand Duke!"

"Even, it will only backfire!"

Hans shook his head, disagreeing with Qin Ran's opinion.

"So, let's think differently!"

"What if the second son of the Grand Duke suppressed this rebellion and recovered the lost 'inheritance'?"

"Don't forget the massacre in the auditorium!"

"I've never figured out why the Masked Man would kill his own people, but if it's based on the 'successful counterinsurgency', the Auditorium Massacre will make sense!"

"They only need a 'rebel' with just the right number of 'rebels', not a superior 'rebel'!"

Qin Ran smiled and looked at Hans.

Suddenly, Hans's face changed.

"If that's the case......"

Hans's words were not finished.

But the result is self-evident.

"But now, the second son of the Grand Duke has died in our hands......"

Lawless sighed.

"Therefore, we are facing an absolute never-ending hunt!"

Qin Ran also sighed.

Empathy, if one of his such important plans was ruined.

What will he do with the saboteurs?

It must be endless.

Thinking of the strength shown by Stegner, Qin Ran felt a tingling in his scalp.

"We have to recover from the injury as soon as possible to be able to fight!"

Lawless said.

Qin Ran and Hans would not object to such an opinion.

"What I'm worried about now is, how many people is that guy going to bring with him?"

Qin Ran thought of the scene in the auditorium, and he understood that the opponent he was facing was definitely not a guy who paid attention to knightly morality.

If you can rush up, you will definitely not go head-on.

"No matter how much, we have at least two to three days of buffer!"

"The matter of the castle rebellion is enough for the other party to be busy for a while!"

"Unless the other party finds Le Grande's body and rushes to us regardless of it!"

Lawless said and raised his head to look at Qin Ran and Hans.

Neither of them looks good-looking.

"It's unlikely, isn't it?"

"Don't worry! Feel relieved! ”

"Just a hypothesis!"

Lawless smiled and comforted Qin Ran and Hans in a relaxed tone.

But Qin Ran had a bad premonition in his heart.

This made Qin Ran nervous in the rest of the rest time.

Because, in Qin Ran's opinion, bad premonitions will always come true.

However, until they set off again, nothing happened.

Call!

Qin Ran, who was riding on horseback, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

Then, I found out that I don't know when, the side quest [Suddenly] has been marked as completed.

【Sudden (Done)】

[Killed 17 rebels, judged 'Good']

……

Good rating, can only be said to be a good result.

Not too good, but not too bad either.

In fact, the enemies that Qin Ran killed were definitely more than 17 people, and this number definitely needed to be doubled to be the real result.

Unfortunately, castle defenders don't count in this category.

"We need to traverse the entire Pilgrimage Forest now, and we can't rely on these equipment and supplies alone!"

"At the very least, we need more, good food!"

"And in the green forest and in the town of Blossomwood, there is no shortage of what we need!"

Hans, who was at the front on horseback, said.

"Agreed!"

Lawless nodded immediately.

"No comment!"

Qin Ran shrugged.

There was more food, this was something Qin Ran couldn't wait for, and he naturally wouldn't object.

However, Qin Ran was thinking more about the main quest this time.

"My main quest is [Escape from the Principality of Merck], Lawlessness is [Escape from the Principality of Merck], and Hans is [Escape from the Principality of Merck in two weeks]!"

"The three main quests are different due to the number of dungeons, and Hans is the most difficult because he is the initiator and the main punisher!"

"But the three of us are acting at the same time, and the main quests that seem to be different are essentially exactly the same!"

"Moreover, the time limit in Hans's main quest ......"

Qin Ran, who was sitting in the saddle, thought silently.

He does not think that this time is useless.

It must have meant something.

"What does it mean?"

"Is it ......?"

Suddenly, Qin Ran thought of a possibility.

But before Qin Ran could inform Lawless and Hans of this speculation, the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind them.

Just listening to the sound of the horses' hooves is a team of no less than a hundred.

And Qin Ran, with his outstanding strength, confirmed the identity of the person who came in a few seconds.

Castle Defenders!
