Chapter 41: The Insider

Footprints!

There was more than one set of footprints in the room that belonged to the apparent ape raider.

In addition to the footprints left by entering through the window and fighting, there are footprints of the other party in other parts of the room.

To put it simply, this is not the first time that the other party has entered Perikna's room.

If it was only this seemingly ape sect raider who was like this, Qin Ran would still guess that the other party was stepping on the point, but as he found that the footprints of the seemingly snake sect hider were also the same as the former, Qin Ran's eyes narrowed.

"They're ......"

"Looking for something?"

Qin Ran guessed.

Subsequently, when he walked out of the room and saw more traces, this suspicion was confirmed.

"Hide your identity, look for something."

Qin Ran, who was squinting, subconsciously turned his body and looked at the room where Perikna lived.

Without hesitation, Qin Ran began to search.

But this time, until Maxim and Celti were brought by the female leader of the Serpent faction, he didn't find anything.

"Not here?"

Qin Ran frowned slightly, and looked at the female leader of the snake faction.

However, he did not ask the other party directly.

Qin Ran did not forget the original purpose.

"Do you recognize him?"

Qin Ran thought about the two of them and asked.

"Aikman?"

"How did he end up here?"

After seeing the blood-stained skull, Celti let out a series of exclamations, and then looked at his friend, who was also surprised.

"Aikman, used to be one of my contenders."

Maxim glanced at his friend and said matter-of-factly.

"Contenders?"

"The first crow?"

Qin Ran asked.

"No, no, no."

"It's not the position of the first crow, it's the position of the recorder in the crow faction, and he was my strongest opponent among the many contenders at that time."

Maxim waved his hand and explained.

"So, he's one of the core figures of the Raven Faction?"

Qin Ran continued to ask.

Faced with such a question, Maxim and Celti nodded at the same time.

This is a fact and cannot be denied.

But with such an acknowledgment, the hearts of the two involuntarily rose.

The two almost subconsciously thought of the rumors of the wolf faction: 'In addition to being maverick, the white wolf is more moody! ’

Facing a character who allows their preferences to determine how they behave, especially when the character is extremely powerful, everyone will be extremely stressed.

Neither Maxim nor Celti wanted to be harmed by the fish in the pond.

Therefore, the next moment, Maxim took the initiative to say: "My lord, please give me a few days, and I will investigate the whole matter clearly." ”

"Hmm."

Qin Ran nodded.

Suddenly, Maxim and Celti turned around and left with a sense of relief.

The Ravens almost brushed shoulders with Earl Schilling, who arrived a little later.

After the two sides bowed their heads to each other, they went their separate ways.

"Looks like I'm such an incompetent guy."

Looking at the corpse, the young earl, who was temporarily in charge of the security of the Warren Palace, couldn't help but smile bitterly.

For this young man, after he took over the palace, this kind of thing happened one after another, if it wasn't for the strength of his heart, he would have been hit and collapsed.

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

The young earl looked at Qin Ran and Perikna.

"Tell him."

Qin Ran said so.

The female leader of the snake faction immediately spoke, but the female leader hid the paragraph about Qin Ran's suspicions, and only said her own guess.

"Snake and ape?"

"Because of you?"

Hearing the words of the female leader of the Serpent Sect, the young count frowned.

As the person in charge of the Warren Palace, even if it was a temporary deputy, the young earl was eager to keep out the unstable element of the female leader of the Serpent Sect.

But......

After the young earl glanced at Qin Ran, he sighed helplessly in his heart.

Not to mention that he has a request for the other party, just the intimate identity of the other party and Mary makes him helpless.

"Okay, I got it."

"I'll rearrange the soldiers on the defensive."

"Good night, then, Your Excellency 2567."

"Good night, Earl Shirin."

After exchanging goodnights, the young earl saluted Qin Ran, and then turned to leave.

With the departure of Count Shirin, Qin Ran and Perikna were left.

"How did you contact the ape faction?"

Qin Ran asked suddenly.

"I can't get in touch with the ape faction directly, I'm just going through the underground. Help. There will be some news coming out of the walk, and each genre will have people who follow these messages. ”

Perikna replied.

The female leader of the snake faction did not ask Qin Ran about specific guesses.

She understands who she is.

I also know what to ask and what not to ask.

"Hmm."

Qin Ran did not doubt Perikna's statement.

At this moment, he is sure that the other party will not lie to himself.

Of course, even if this was the case, Qin Ran didn't count it as sharing with the other party some of the things he had just speculated.

The other party can only be regarded as a qualified collaborator.

As for the rest?

Qin Ran would never think about it.

Therefore, Qin Ran said very directly.

"I need to know some of the Serpent Sect's secrets."

"Yes, sir."

Perikna nodded without hesitation.

Suppose that before she discovered her identity as an 'abandoned son', Perikna was still hesitant about Qin Ran's request and needed to consider it.

Not thinking about it at all at the moment.

All Perikna had was hatred for the Serpent Sect who had slaughtered all her companions as an 'outcast'.

Thick, flaming hatred!

How to take revenge on this snake faction, Perikna has already made her own plans.

With the help of Qin Ran's power!

That's right, it's the power of others.

Without being strong enough, Perikna didn't mind relying on external forces, just as the Assassins habitually used to using props and shadows.

Therefore, for Qin Ran, who made the request, Perikna will be unconditionally satisfied.

Even some excessive demands are the same.

It's a pity that throughout the night, Qin Ran was just learning about the mysterious knowledge of the Snake Sect, and didn't reveal any other meaning at all, even if Perikna took the initiative several times, and even caused Qin Ran's dissatisfaction, so that she had to devote herself to teaching.

Then, Perikna was shocked by Qin Ran's learning ability.

She could be sure that Qin Ran had not been exposed to the secret knowledge of these snake sects, but after just a few hours, Qin Ran had mastered the basics.

You know, it took her a few months to achieve this level at the beginning.

"Is this the disparity between people?"

The female leader of the snake faction said unconsciously.

"We're different."

It is indeed different, Qin Ran, who has an expert-level [mysterious knowledge], when learning similar mysterious knowledge, is not only a bypass, but also has a commanding role.

……

Qin Ran looked at the newly appeared system prompt, nodded with satisfaction, and after saying hello to the female leader of the snake faction, he got up and walked out.

It's not a return to the room, though.

Although Qin Ran couldn't wait to use the [Snake Sect Secret Technique Record Essence], he would not forget what those two pretenders came for last night.

He probably didn't know.

But he was sure that there was someone in the Warren palace who must know what the two pretenders were looking for
