Destiny is like a river.

That's a description.

In fact, it's similar.

Qin Ran had used the help of a certain goddess in charge of the priesthood of destiny to peek into the 'River of Destiny' a little.

Although it was a peep in the tube, it was enough to impress Qin Ran.

The kind of 'embodied objects' that blend time and space, mixed with coincidences, are really shocking.

Even if Qin Ran has always been wary of coincidences, it is the same.

You are disgusted.

But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

It doesn't mean it's not good-looking.

It's like death.

Everyone fears death, but who can escape it?

Even if it's struggling.

In the end, it was inevitable to die.

For example: the witch who has been imprisoned for many years.

Qin Ran, who was thinking about the 'broker' plan, was stopped by the old demon hunter.

"The bait is gone."

Edson told Qin Ran the news with a sad face.

Qin Ran was stunned.

He wasn't too familiar with the witch bait.

But there is a lot of concern.

Not only because the other party is a rare witch, but also because the other party once won the title.

Coupled with Edson's relationship, Qin Ran has always retained the initial vigilance against the other party.

There is no malice in such vigilance.

It's just habit.

Over time, this vigilance will naturally wane.

Even if you ignite the divine fire, you have divinity.

But Qin Ran's energy was still not endless.

He can't pay attention to everything.

It can only be the point of selection.

In the same way, this sudden death is naturally one of the key points.

Again, Qin Ran's vigilance was aroused.

But on his face, Qin Ran remained surprised.

"How so?"

"Isn't the previous state stable?"

Qin Ran asked.

"Since she was rescued, her condition has not been very good, even those palace doctors are only conservatively treated, which is a drop in the bucket for Honeybait."

"If only it could have been a few years earlier......"

As he spoke, the old witcher couldn't say any more, and he lowered his head.

Horuff, who was on the side, walked over and patted his friend on the shoulder.

"She's strong."

"She loves to laugh."

She says a smile makes people strong.

"Put away the tears, do you want her to be unable to close her eyes?"

Horuff whispered.

Then, the retired witcher walked among all the witchers, and he looked around and raised his voice.

"We need a funeral to send a dear friend."

"...... Now"

"Let's go get ready."

In the middle of his words, the retired old witcher couldn't help but choke up.

Then, too, he bowed his head and walked back.

"It's windy."

He stubbornly said to Qin Ran.

Even snot and tears are mixed together.

"Hmm."

"It's very windy."

Qin Ran nodded, looking at the group of demon hunters who were crying in the wind.

The close ministers beside him also appropriately expressed their grief.

It's just appropriate.

Because, death is too common for those who make a living in the court.

However, at this time, it is his time to perform.

"Does Your Highness need me to come forward and prepare?"

The minister looked at his Highness in motion.

"Go and prepare everything you need."

Qin Ran said.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The ministers bowed and walked away quickly, and, soon, some of the things needed for the funeral of the Hokuriku began to appear in the camp one after another.

Coffins, garlands, and drinks are the foundation.

Gold and silver ornaments are only available to wealthy families.

After asking Edson, the retainer didn't use these, and the witchers didn't need gold and silver ornaments.

Witchers need weapons.

A silver dagger is enough.

In his hectic, Qin Ran walked towards the old demon hunter and asked.

"Can I go see Lord Honeybait?"

"Of course."

The old witcher did not refuse, and raised the tent.

Qin Ran walked in.

By this time, the flowers had adorned the entire tent, and Honeybait Silk was lying in the coffin, and the plain white clothes were worn on the body of the witch, and a gauze scarf covered Honeybait's face, covering the dry corpse-like face.

A half-height metal shelf stood in front of the coffin, and the candle flame at the top made the whole tent brighter.

Qin Ran didn't move the body.

Just look closely.

From the outside, the other party is really dead.

No breath, no heat.

But......

For Qin Ran, death was no longer just a physical matter.

And the soul!

To put it simply, when the soul and body die at the same time, it is considered death.

And ordinary souls can't escape Qin Ran's eyes at all.

Under the vision of [Tracking], everything will be revealed.

And in front of you?

Everything works fine.

There is no trace of it.

It is an ordinary farewell ceremony for the dead.

The only difference is that in the sky at this moment, the divine light of the 'God of War' and 'Lady of Calamity' are intertwined and scuffled, and thunder rings from time to time.

"It's a farewell ceremony like no other."

"May you rest in peace."

After Qin Ran finished saying this, he walked out of the tent.

At this time, the superior evil spirit had already appeared outside the tent.

After nodding to each other as the superior evil spirit that appeared as Bishop Simon, Qin Ran walked in.

As the nominal head of the camp, it had to come forward.

A moment later, the superior demon walked out.

"Your Highness Colin, there are some things I need to ask you, do you have time?"

The superior demon asked.

"Of course."

"Go to my tent."

Qin Ran replied.

It's a very normal conversation, and no one will suspect it.

Especially after the eyes were attracted by the 'honeybait silk'.

in tents.

"Isn't the boss too coincidental?"

"Pol just left and she died?"

"There must be something wrong with her."

"And, too, is she...... Woman! ”

As soon as he entered the tent, under the protection of vicious dogs and guards, the superior evil spirit was relieved to speak his thoughts boldly.

Especially in the word 'woman', the superior evil spirit accentuates the voice.

"yes."

"Such a coincidence is something that everyone will pay attention to."

"Coincidentally, it all happened after we found out what the 'broker' bastard was really about."

Qin Ran nodded.

The high-ranking evil spirit is not a fool, and after being slightly stunned, he reacted.

"You're saying she's being used too?"

"Use her death to draw our attention, and then, that woman to do what she really wants to accomplish?"

The superior demon muttered to himself.

"Nope."

"If it were me, I wouldn't just do it."

"I'm also going to mobilize the forces around me that can be mobilized to deal with me."

"Just like we did before."

Qin Ran shook his head with certainty.

"She wants to demolish us?"

"Impossible!"

"She can only rely on the witchers, and now the witchers are with us, unless ......"

As he spoke, the superior evil spirit thought of something.

"Unless we move her 'corpse.'"

"This will make the witchers suspicious, and let her use the witchers to bite us back."

"But if we don't touch her 'corpse', we will let her look for opportunities and quickly become stronger."

Qin Ran said and took a deep breath.

"It's a dilemma!"

"So, she gave us another way: kill the 'God of War'!"

"Kill the 'God of War'?"

The superior demon was stunned.

"yes!"

"She's been in camp and I've made some arrangements, but I'm sure she's able to sense the changes I'm in."

"Pol's departure is not a condition that touches her 'death'."

"I have the 'divinity' that is."

"She can't let me stay strong."

"Therefore, she wants to force me to make a choice, whether to 'overturn' my own layout and take a risk with her, or to kill the weakened 'God of War' and gain more divinity, and fight her with nine out of ten certainty."

Qin Ran nodded, and slowly sat down on the sofa.

He adjusted slightly, allowing himself to sit up straight in a more comfortable position.

Then, with the corners of his mouth curled, he continued.

"And that bastard of the 'broker' must have expected such a situation, so he 'lured' me into this dungeon world!"

"The dungeon world that I entered when I was attacked by Mimosa before was a 'bridge' to here, and in order to ensure that I entered here 100%, he also put 'Pol' here as a 'bait' as a 'calibration'."

"Also, the guy left me quite a few tips to be as prepared as possible."

"What a bastard!"

Qin Ran sighed.

He finally knew the true purpose of the broker.

It's not too late.

When he began to possess divinity, Qin Ran already had a corresponding guess.

Very simple.

When 'gluttony' transformed energy, Qin Ran couldn't help but diverge his thoughts.

Would the 'broker' have expected such a scene?

The answer is: Yes.

The 'broker' may not be able to accurately predict the whole process.

However, the result is constant.

That is, he will definitely get 'divinity' here!

The situation of this quest and his efforts to maximize the benefits were destined for him to do so.

Then the question arises!

Will the 'broker' be a 'rival' person?

No!

The answer is equally yes.

Under what circumstances would a 'broker' do this?

Naturally, it is to face an even more terrifying enemy.

And in the category of Qin Ran's cognition, except for the 'witch', there is no one else who will be treated as a 'broker' like a great enemy.

In the same way, the 'broker' has already given its own hints.

Bohr!

A person who is closely related to the 'witch'.

Not only does it bear the 'witch mark', but it is also a former guardian.

On top of that, Pol once 'disappeared'.

Qin Ran used the word 'disappear'.

Bol used 'sleeping'.

The two are different.

Pol wasn't lying.

Sleep, that's what Pol thinks he is.

But what will be the real truth?

Pol didn't know.

Others don't know either.

Except for Qin Ran.

When he learned that the 'Witch Mark' could rely on killing each other to obtain some attribute power from each other, Qin Ran was guessing what it would look like if the witch killed someone with the 'Witch Mark'.

Want more?

Or get it all?

Of course, thinking of the strange picture when the 'Witch Mark' appeared, Qin Ran was sure that the witch must have harsh conditions when she killed someone with the 'Witch Mark'.

But, one thing remains the same!

That's death!

Because, ordinary people who have the 'Witch Mark' have to go through a fight with each other to be able to obtain some attribute power from each other.

The conditions became more demanding.

Death is the foundation.

More conditions will appear.

So, Pol is dead!

In other words, when Pol says that he is 'asleep' because of the witch, the process of waking up again is actually a process of resurrection from the dead.

A process of being resurrected by a 'broker'.

Of course, such a 'resurrection' is incomplete.

It can only be 'a piece of the excerpt'.

In other words, the 'broker' needs to 'intercept this paragraph'.

Because......

During this time in 'Pol', there was a 'witch'!

The 'witch' who once disappeared into the huge city.

During this time period.

In this dungeon world.

It's real.

Qin Ran didn't know what kind of method the 'broker' used to resurrect Pol, and what kind of way he used to 'deceive' the huge city, causing the situation in front of him.

But the other party's purpose is obvious and undoubted.

The other party wants him to kill the 'witch' in 'this time period'.

In fact, there is no need for the other party to hope.

At this moment, he is already a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the 'witch'.

Even if the 'witch' doesn't understand much in this time period.

Because, he has plundered the resources of the other party.

And, deliberately selected by the 'brokers', these are quite critical resources.

For example, the Lord of the Mists that he absorbed.

For example: resources in the South.

What would have happened if he hadn't entered this dungeon world, just Bol?

Everything is obvious.

It's all going to be a 'witch'.

Call!

Sitting on the sofa, Qin Ran exhaled heavily.

"Boss, what should we do?"

"If we want to kill the 'God of War', we need to prepare as soon as possible."

"Having lost most of his followers, he couldn't last long under the attack of that 'lady'."

As the high-ranking evil spirit that led the layout of everything, it was really reluctant to 'overturn' the situation in front of it, and naturally, it was thinking about how to kill the 'God of War'.

"Who said I'm going to kill him?"

Qin Ran asked rhetorically.

"It's not ...... you say"

"A fool will follow the enemy's train of thought."

"But we're in a dilemma......"

"Then I won't choose!"

"What about you?"

"I'll flip the table!"

After Qin Ran finished speaking, he got up and walked out.

The fog began to condense.

Between breaths, the fog enveloped the whole of Etaninburg.

"Leave!"

"This is not the place where you fight!"

"Leave!"

"This is the place I guard!"

Under the night sky, a roar like thunder rang out from the thick fog.

The next moment!

In mid-air, a giant composed entirely of mist stood resolutely.

In the hands of the giants, raging flames rose into the sky.

The scorching air currents blew in all directions.

A blinding glow illuminates the night sky.

The people of Etaninburgh stared at the giant illuminated by the flames in a daze, and many of them subconsciously fell to their knees, not to mention the believers of the 'Mist'.

They had already begun to pray.

Therefore, no one noticed, and the three figures left the camp.

One of them had a proud face, one yawned, and one swallowed.

The former went straight to the Temple of the God of War.

The latter walked towards the temple of the 'Lady of Calamity' hidden in the alley.

The last one looked confused.

"Food, canteen...... No, it's the royal palace. ”

Whispering to himself, the last one retracted his steps towards the cafeteria and began to adjust his direction.
