Chapter 31: I'll Tell You a Secret

As before, Qin Ran sat face to face with the old Count of Adal.

As for the atmosphere?

It was as silent as before.

Qin Ran sat there and waited for the old Count of Adal to tell him the secret of the Snake Sect.

He had no intention of speaking or urging the old earl first.

After half a minute, the old earl raised his head and looked at Qin Ran.

"Before I tell me the secret about the Serpent Sect, can you tell me the truth if you have some contempt for James?"

The old earl's inexplicable inquiry made Qin Ran frown.

It's not that the other party guessed what he was thinking, but that Qin Ran was not used to this kind of roundabout way of talking.

For Qin Ran, who is habitually cautious, he will not look down on anyone.

This is true of ordinary people, let alone a king.

Qin Ran believes that the people who can become kings are not simple people, even if the other party has always behaved very cowardly.

But don't forget, until then, it was this cowardly person who kept Janie in check. James, Earl of Will in the South.

If James VIII was really as cowardly as he appeared.

I'm afraid I've been killed a long time ago!

Qin Ran would never doubt Jenny. James's heart is ruthless.

Nor will there be any doubt that Earl Will is ambitious.

Not to mention doubts......

Snake Pie Professional!

The previous assassination of James VIII by the remnants of the Serpent Sect was fraught with scruples.

It's the kind of scruples that want to get rid of it quickly, but are worried about what the consequences will be caused by a direct shot.

Otherwise, a dagger and a crossbow would be much more useful than the painting.

Qin Ran didn't believe that the other party was scaring about him.

Inferring from the fact that the other party was easily led out and killed by him, the remnants of those snake sects were disdainful of him before.

With such an attitude, how can you have scruples.

Besides him, who else in the entire Warren Palace would be snuggled about by the other party?

Mary? Earl Shirin? Or maybe it's a crow?

None of them match the speculation.

And after putting these aside, only one of the most unlikely possibilities remains: James VIII himself.

His Majesty the King, lying on the bed, dying, at any moment to choke.

With such a guess, how could Qin Ran look down on the other party.

"Nope."

"He hides a lot more than he shows."

"I don't know why he's hiding."

"Maybe it's because of Mary?"

"Or is it something else?"

"But one thing I know for sure is that James VIII was a man to be wary of."

Qin Ran shook his head and said like this.

"James would be amazed if he heard your comments! What he thought was a good hiding was completely seen through by a young man who had never met a few times. ”

"Twenty years ago, he had the ambition to change Warren, who was pervasive and controlled by genres."

"For this reason, he deliberately befriended people like me, not me, but a group of people like me, including Hawley, who was killed by you!"

Holly?!

Holly who caused the demise of the Serpent Sect?!

In an instant, Qin Ran's eyes narrowed.

He thought of more things.

"That's right, that's what you think."

"James single-handedly orchestrated the destruction of the Serpent Sect - that's the secret I want to tell you!"

"In fact, it's not just the Serpent School, but there are other schools entrenched in Warren!"

"They are hidden in Warren, whether they are hidden in Warren or by cover...... By their side, waiting for the most opportune time, a big change will be launched. ”

"When I think about those days, I'm still excited."

"Every day is a new battle."

"Every day gets a little closer to the goal."

"And then ......"

"We've had unprecedented success."

"Those genres are far away from Warren."

"But we also failed."

"Because, we didn't expect that the genre had already planted shadows in our hearts."

As he spoke, the old earl's expression changed from excitement to loneliness.

"Elaine, Mary's mother, James's lover and wife."

"Jenny. James, Mary's aunt, James's sister. ”

"You know all this."

"There's something else you don't know."

The old earl's voice grew lower and lower, and at last it almost became a murmur.

Qin Ran couldn't hear what the other party was saying.

But he could have guessed.

Elaine, once the chief of the Raven Sect.

Jenny. James, the chief who is not recognized by the Phantom Sect.

These two men appeared next to the young James VIII, but what about the others?

For example: where will the ordinary disciples go to the backbone of some schools?

The answer is self-evident.

The trance-like expression of the old earl in front of him had already been told to him.

Or rather, reality told him.

The old earl once said that they were a group of people.

But except for Hawley, who was killed by him, he had only seen the old earl alone, where did the rest go?

Die!

Except for death, Qin Ran couldn't think of anything else.

If these people had not died, James VIII would not have been so alone in the face of the steppe invasion.

"Huh."

Suddenly, Qin Ran let out a chuckle.

"How?"

"You don't believe it."

Old Count

"Nope."

"I was just wondering what Mary would have done if she had known about her father's side?"

Qin Ran said slowly.

"So, there are some things I have to avoid Mary."

"She'......"

As he spoke, the old earl shook his head, and did not continue.

"You're denying an established fact again."

"And you're still instilling in me what you think is the right idea."

Qin Ran frowned.

"I didn't argue whether it was right or not!"

"I don't want to say no either!"

"But here's the thing: the appearance of Elaine, the birth of Mary, is wrong."

"Do you know how painfully James accepted his defeat and then hid here to survive?"

"Do you know what it feels like when my companions die one after another, and I have to go south?"

"You don't understand!"

"If you don't experience it firsthand, you don't know all this!"

The old earl said with a stiff neck.

He was emotional, his face was flushed, and green tendons appeared on his neck.

And then......

Bang!

The old earl was kicked out by Qin Ran, and rolled out of the door with the sofa.

"You!"

The old earl, who struggled to get up from the ground, his face was red and swollen, he raised his hand and pointed at Qin Ran, his fingers kept trembling.

Obviously, the other party didn't expect Qin Ran to do this.

"James's pain, your pain, your dead companions......"

"It's my business!"

"I'm just Mary's friend."

"So, you should thank Mary, and if it weren't for her, you would have gone and seen your companions by now."

Qin Ran slowly withdrew his left foot and hung the [Polar Night] on his waist, and he walked towards the door.

Looking at Qin Ran, who had picked up the [Polar Night], the excited old earl obviously shuddered, but Qin Ran didn't pay attention to the other party at all, but bypassed the other party.

However, when passing by the old earl's side, Qin Ran paused.

"Now I'll tell you a secret!"

"Did your so-called 'Snake Sect' really succeed?"

"You think that's all you see?"

"Would you like to see the real truth?"

After speaking, Qin Ran didn't wait for the other party to answer, and continued to walk forward.

The old earl, who was sitting in place, had a drastic change in his face, and he thought of something, but he obviously didn't dare to admit it.

"No, it won't!"

"No, it won't!"

"You lied to me! You lied to me! ”

The old earl asked loudly at Qin Ran's back.

But Qin Ran didn't answer.

All that's there is is a night breeze blowing slowly.

and, the crow-feather trench coat that hunts in the night wind.
