The patrols in Etantoinople came much faster than expected.

In just three minutes, a team of heavily armed soldiers appeared in the field of vision.

The leading soldier was seeing Kuhl. After Wharton, he sped up his speed, and while the other party commanded his subordinates to protect the scene, he walked quickly to Kuhl. Wharton.

"Knight Wharton, are you alright?"

The other party asked respectfully.

But there was more of a trepidation in the words.

Because, the soldier commander knew very well what the young nobleman in front of him represented.

The opponent's background is enough to gain the respect of everyone present, and the identity of the opponent's knight makes the opponent even more extraordinary.

When the two are added together?

Naturally, it is 1+1>2 degrees.

If the young aristocrat in front of him really wanted to do something, not only him, but even his immediate boss, even the boss with his boss, would not be able to eat and walk around.

Fortunately, Kuhl. Wharton didn't mean to embarrass the other party.

"Help me find her parents."

"Also, dig that guy out."

With that said, Kuhl. Wharton smiled at the little girl, waved his hand slightly, and walked towards Qin Ran.

"Thank you."

"You've saved me again!"

Chur. Wharton walked up to Qin Ran and whispered.

"I just thank you for your afternoon tea."

Qin Ran told the truth.

When he first noticed that something was wrong in the carriage, he chose to make a move, mostly because of Kur. Wharton's sumptuous afternoon tea and the dinner he was looking forward to.

For a person who doesn't have a bad personality and is willing to provide him with food, Qin Ran doesn't mind pulling the other party when he is in danger.

Facing Qin Ran's answer, Kur, who once again felt that his 'life was cheap'. Wharton couldn't help but smile wryly.

"I know you may not care, Colin, but I think I owe you a great favor."

"Today's dinner was held to repay your favor, but now I owe you another one."

"I think I need to repay you with better food."

In order to make his value a little higher, he decided to invite Qin Ran to another real meal.

In this regard, Qin Ran did not refuse.

Although in his heart, he knew that no matter how prepared the other party was, he would not be able to reach the level of mimosa, but in the days when Mimosa was not around, he could only retreat to the second.

I miss mimosas.

Qin Ran sighed silently.

On the surface, it is still a slightly indifferent look.

After an afternoon of getting along, Kuhl. Wharton was used to Qin Ran's appearance.

Add to that preconceived information, and he's not surprised at all.

Then, the two looked together at the excavated 'Assassin'.

This is a man dressed in ordinary clothes, with the characteristics of being tall and sturdy from the Beilu people, and his face has become hideous and fierce because of Qin Ran's squeezing.

However, the general appearance can still be distinguished.

Squatting on the ground and looking at this unfamiliar face, Kuhl. Wharton frowned.

Not the Assassins he had been in contact with before.

It's a new Assassin.

This is not good news for him.

Because, this represents the strength of the other party, far beyond his expectations.

Quietly, Kuhl. Wharton stood up and waved at the Captain.

"Take him back to the city guard, someone will examine the body later."

Chur. Wharton said.

"Okay, Knight Wharton."

The captain of the soldiers saluted, and commanded half of the soldiers to quickly leave with the corpses.

As for the remaining half?

Then they began to interrogate the civilians around them.

Although the Captain didn't think it made much sense.

However, the process still has to go through a bit.

Chur. Wharton and Qin Ran walked side by side to the carriage.

However, before pedaling, the young nobleman bowed apologetically to the people around him who were being interrogated.

No more explanation.

That's all it takes.

In fact, compared to other nobles, Kuhl, who was able to see commoners equally. Wharton is already an outlier.

Another nobleman?

At this time, I am afraid that the meeting will be frosty and very unhappy to leave.

And if this is not Etaninburg?

There will definitely be some grumpy aristocrats who will take the knife at the civilians around them.

The carriage slowly drove away with the reins of the coachman.

However, whether it was the squire or the coachman, at this time, they all held the long sword in their hands.

Obviously, the scene just now stimulated the two entourage.

They are afraid that there will be another accident.

Therefore, the carriage headed straight for the Marquis of Wharton's mansion.

The people along the way, seeing the two nervous retinues and the family crest on the carriage, wisely moved out of the way.

Kuhl sitting in the carriage. Wharton looked at the civilians who were struggling to dodge outside the carriage, and couldn't help but tapped the baffle behind him, the education he had received and the knightly creed of faith made him unable to ignore these.

When he felt that the carriage had significantly slowed down, Kur. Only then did Wharton turn around and look at Qin Ran on the opposite side.

"I'm sorry."

"I might get you into some trouble."

"But don't worry, I'll fix it all as soon as possible."

The young nobleman said to Qin Ran very sincerely.

"I said thank you for afternoon tea."

Qin Ran repeated.

"It's different!"

"Colin, you don't see what I mean, I mean ......"

The young nobleman opened his mouth to explain, but when he thought of something, hesitation appeared on his face, but soon, such hesitation was replaced by firmness.

"Colin, you saved me twice."

"So, I don't have to hide something from you."

"What do you think of His Majesty's 'new decree'?"

The young nobleman asked.

Qin Ran thought of the words of Old Hank of the 'Radish' Hotel-

'You ask me what I think of the 'new order'? ’

'What can I think?' ’

I can't afford it. ’

……

Although the words are very rough, they are not rough.

Therefore, Qin Ran relayed the meaning of the other party.

"It's not about most people."

Qin Ran replied.

"yes, it's not about most people."

"But it's closely related to me, or someone like me."

"After all, it represents the 'greatest glory' of the nobility: the land!"

"As a result, people like us were instantly divided into two factions, some in favor of such a 'new law' and some against such a 'new law.'"

"My father is a staunch supporter of His Majesty."

"So ......"

The words were not finished, Kuhl. Wharton smiled wryly.

Everything became clear.

For that Etandin VI, the nobles who opposed it did not dare to say anything, at least on the surface, but for the supporters of Etandin VI, these nobles were not so polite.

Assassination is the last and worst option for the nobles.

Because, it will break the rules.

But......

At a certain time, it also represents an attitude: the bottom line they stick to cannot be touched, otherwise they will die and the net will be broken.

"This isn't the first time I've been assassinated."

"I've had three ...... in recent months No, it's already the fourth time, counting the one just now. ”

"The first two times were to scare me, but the third and fourth times the other party was obviously serious, even if they didn't choose my father, but me."

"But it still represents their determination."

"And they won't let go of those who stand in their way."

"Perhaps, Colin, you won't care about this, but no matter how powerful a person is, there will be times when he takes a nap, can you guarantee that you will not rest for 24 hours and keep your eyes open?"

"For your safety, I would like to invite you to stay in the Marquis's Mansion for the time being."

"Alternatively, I can send you two guards."

"Rest assured, they have enough vigilance and superb swordsmanship."

Looking at Qin Ran's still indifferent appearance, Kur. Wharton accentuated his tone and offered a proper solution.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm used to being alone."

Chur. Wharton was very sincere, but Qin Ran did not accept it.

As soon as he came, as he said, he was used to being alone.

Second, he has too many secrets for others to know.

Mimosa?

That's the exception.

"I have my own way of dealing with this."

"Otherwise, I would have died."

"You know, what I have to face a lot."

Looking at Kuhl, who was still trying to say something. Wharton, Qin Ran said first.

And, alluding to his identity as a 'snake witcher'.

Regarding his identity as a snake sect demon hunter, Qin Ran didn't hide it too much.

To put it simply, it is roughly the degree to which ordinary people don't know and want to know, and people who want to know can always know.

Kuhl in front of him. Wharton is clearly the latter.

The same goes for the nobles who opposed the 'new law'.

Therefore, Qin Ran was quite sure that those nobles would not provoke a demon hunter at will, especially since this demon hunter was still from the 'snake faction' that walked with the shadow.

Of course, there won't be some tentative contact.

Qin Ran didn't care about this.

Even, it's hopeful.

Only by taking his identity as a 'snake demon hunter' deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, some other identities will be safer.

For example......

'Mist'!

No one would have thought that the two were the same person.

Everyone would think that the 'Snake Pie' and the 'Mist' are just a partnership.

It's like the 'Silent Night Secret Order' and the 'Lady of Calamity'.

Qin Ran needed such an 'impression'.

Because he didn't want to be investigated back and forth.

Although he thinks that it is hidden enough and good enough, some things are still impossible to delve into, especially under the premise that the "God of War" and "Lady Calamity" may interfere.

So, something has to be accelerated.

And so it happens, it's a good opportunity at this moment!

Thinking of this, Qin Ran gave a new order to the superior evil spirit.

And Kuer, who was sitting opposite Qin Ran. Wharton had no idea about all of this.

At this moment, the young nobleman was looking ashamed.

"I'm sorry, Colin."

"It was only out of curiosity that I was looking through the materials that had been sent back from Sika City."

"Trust me, I don't have any ill will."

The young nobleman hurriedly explained.

Qin Ran bowed slightly.

Judging by his breath and heartbeat, he believed what the other party said.

As for more?

Then there will be time to decide.

After looking at Qin Ran and nodding, Kur. Wharton couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to lose a friend to a mindless look.

After all, there are too few friends who recognize his philosophy that 'life is too bitter and needs a little sweetness'.

It can even be said that it is unique.

Nature is to be cherished.

……

And looking at the five members of the 'Silent Night Secret Society' in front of him, the superior evil spirit is also extremely cherished.

Perhaps, in normal times, there are not a few people who can be easily 'brainwashed' by it.

However, this time is different.

Time!

Time is out of time!

The order from the boss just now made it clear to the superior evil spirit that the five people in front of him were 'tinder'-like existences!

It is necessary to become the kind of 'fire' that can ignite the prairies!

Two of them were the first to 'arrest' it, and the three next to it were friends of the two men, who, under its persuasion, abandoned the darkness and joined the ranks of justice.

Using [Evil Spirit Intuition] to perceive the thoughts and emotions of the five people.

The superior evil spirit can clearly confirm that it is still a little short.

Five people, and some apprehension.

So it stood up, staring at the five in front of it.

With the movements of the superior evil spirit, the eyes of the five people all looked over.

"You're worried."

"Even scared."

The words of the superior evil spirit made the five people lower their heads, not daring to look at the superior evil spirit again.

I took a slight breath.

The superior demon suddenly shouted.

"Raise your head!"

Subconsciously, the five people raised their heads in the midst of loud cheers.

They looked at the superior evil spirit at this moment.

There is no imaginary anger.

There is no imaginary disdain.

There is only gentleness and recognition.

The superior evil spirits know very well that there are two kinds of people in this world, one lives for themselves, who is tough on the surface, but extremely fragile inside, and the other who lives for others, who seem to be weak on the outside, but hard as a shield on the inside.

This kind of person is a real strong person.

A lot of times, it's called: Hero!

The fact that the five people in front of them can come here is enough to prove that they have the potential of the latter.

Now, all it takes is a slight throw of a spark to ignite the burning heat in their hearts.

Therefore, the superior evil spirit said word by word-

"There's nothing to be ashamed of because I'm ...... It's the same. ”

"I'm worried, I'm scared."

"After all, we are facing such a terrible enemy."

"Death could even come at any time."

"......"

"We don't have a choice."

"Our friends, our loved ones need us to protect them, they're all in 'Silent Night', they don't even know what's going on, but I want them to know nothing."

"Because, I'm willing to carry everything for them."

"I wish them well."

"I'm willing to carry the weight for them."

"Guys, I can't give any more guarantees."

"Because, I don't know if I'll survive."

"But if I survive, I will desperately protect you, as my comrades-in-arms, companions, your friends, and relatives, and treat them as my own friends and relatives."

"I, swear!"
