"What do you think of the gods?

"The gods of Navia."

Qin Ran didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

However, after the words were spoken, he emphasized 'Navia' again.

"Divine, powerful."

"And ......"

"Fight openly and secretly!"

Edrina added softly after giving the answer that everyone knew.

Even if the gods of Navia are no longer available, the habits that have been formed for a long time cannot be changed.

In fact, if the person in front of her was not Qin Ran, Atelina would not have said a word of disrespect to the gods at all.

And after such words came out, the priestess of the Temple of Thorns had a glimmer of enlightenment.

"You mean?"

"Hmm."

"It is quite possible, and it is highly likely, that everything now came according to that person's plan."

Qin Ran nodded.

"But it doesn't make sense!"

"There's no reason to destroy the whole city of Navia!"

"That's the city of Navia, the city of Navia, which houses twenty-five temples!"

Aterina shook her head in confusion.

"Maybe the one thinks twenty-five is too much?"

"They're like humans, they fight openly and secretly."

"So ......"

"What's wrong with giving birth to some of the same greed as humans."

Qin Ran looked at Aterina with a smile.

Obviously, such an answer was a little unacceptable for the aboriginal Etrina for a while.

She's smart and ambitious.

But such cleverness and ambition are all in a framework, and never go beyond a framework, and once it goes beyond this framework, it becomes a little difficult to accept.

But in her heart, Etrina thought that what Qin Ran said was true.

Based on this idea, Etrina immediately had a new guess.

"Is it possible that this is all beyond the person's expectations?"

"He arranged everything, planned everything, but something happened at a critical moment?"

"So much so that it became what it is now?"

Edrina propped her chin on one hand, thinking.

"Possibly."

"But it's not very likely."

Qin Ran denied Aterina's idea.

Although he really wanted this idea to be a fact, if that was the case, his next plan would be much easier, but Qin Ran's reason told him that such a fact was almost impossible.

Under Aterina's gaze, Qin Ran said very seriously.

"As the main god of Navia, if there is an accident, he will definitely not be so indifferent at the last moment."

"Have you seen a corpse belonging to the Thunder Temple?"

"Or in those days, did you notice anything strange about the Temple of Thunder?"

"Nope!"

"It's going on as usual."

"But at the last minute, it disappeared without a trace."

"If this is not planned, I can't imagine anything else planned, after all, even if the 'Devourer' wanted to kill that person, it would not be possible to be silent and silent."

As he spoke, Qin Ran looked at the door.

Aterina wisely stopped and continued to ask, she picked up the pillow on the bed, cushioned Qin Ran behind her, and covered Qin Ran's lap with a futon.

And Qin Ran was very cooperative and showed a tired face.

After doing all this, there was a knock on the door.

Knock, knock!

In a rhythmic knock on the door, with Qin Ran's approval, the other party pushed the door in.

It was a middle-aged man in full-body armor, with a completely shaved beard, thick hair, bright brown eyes, a high nose, and a scar from the past on the left cheek that stretched across the entire cheek.

"Knight!"

After seeing Qin, the middle-aged man bowed without hesitation.

On his face, in his eyes, there was reverence like the scorching sun.

Nelson, who was born in the Temple of Thorns, was really thunderous about the man in front of him, the former 'King of Killers', then the 'God Slayer', and then the 'Hero' at this moment, he couldn't imagine how a person could achieve the level of the man in front of him.

But because of this, Nelson adored the man in front of him who was much younger than he looked.

Of course, the main reason is that the man in front of him is also from the Temple of Thorns.

And......

He was also once a high priest.

Nelson was convinced that if it weren't for the Devourer, he would only be able to meet the High Priestess who would grow and grow the Temple of Thorns to the peak of Navia's three-year rotation when he returned to the Temple of Thorns in Navia.

All the cultists of the Temple of Thorns in Aya's outpost thought so.

And that's what I'm looking forward to.

If the Devourer doesn't show up.

At the thought of 'Devourer', Nelson, who had a strong faith, became resentful, but it was precisely because of this resentment that he revered the man in front of him more and more.

Nelson knew very well that without the man in front of him, the situation would only get worse.

And look at the tired face, right?

Presumably the Eater has been fighting since the appearance of the Devourer.

It is simply unthinkable to use the remnants of a mortal body into the battle of the gods.

Whether it's strength or courage.

The latter, in particular, made Nelson, who was a knight of the Temple of Thorns, worship more and more, so that the enthusiasm in the other party's eyes burned several times again.

"Nelson?"

Qin Ran asked.

"It's me, Lord Knight."

The sentry chief who was called out looked at Qin Ran in surprise.

He never thought that Qin Ran would know about him.

Once became the high priest of the Temple of Thorns, although most of the time, Qin Ran would not be in charge, but this did not mean that Qin Ran did not understand the composition of the Temple of Thorns, especially except for high-level leaders such as the high priest, the chief priest, and the chief knight, an isolated force.

The outpost of Aiyah, attributed to the twenty-five temples of the city of Navia.

But instead of managing at the same time, it is carried out on a rotation system, once every three years, starting with the Temple of Thunder, every temple is no exception, and every seventy-five years carries out a large rotation.

And this time it happened to be the turn of the Temple of Thorns.

Naturally, the chosen Sentinel may not be the strongest, but he is the most loyal to the Temple of Thorns.

Nelson is.

Qin Ran, who had read the other party's information, summed up the other party's words in one sentence, that is: a fanatic believer with chivalry.

Justice, mercy, bravery, and other chivalry can only appear in the temple of thorns, which regards 'fate' as a grind, and it is really unthinkable in other temples.

For example: Temple of the Torturer.

So, in some ways, Lady Thorn is magnanimous.

This made her followers love her all the more and more.

also made the people who hated her hate her more and more.

Undoubtedly, such love also appeared on Qin Ran's body.

"I've got the food ready."

"Maybe it's not as delicious as you think, but it's enough."

"Do you have any other commands?"

Nelson asked.

"Nope."

"As long as the food is faster."

Qin Ran said with a smile.

Faced with Qin Ran's orders, Nelson and the soldiers burst out with unprecedented speed.

Large chunks of roast meat and bread were brought up.

Simple and unpretentious.

Very much in line with the barracks.

Smelling the smell of barbecue, Qin Ran had a smile in his eyes.

He ate the food in front of him at an astonishing rate, and everyone was shocked by the amount of food he had eaten, considering that it was a food supply for five people.

"Everything about you is amazing."

Nelson exclaimed.

"I can't help but be able to help the beauty of the food."

"Nelson, I want to rest for a while, there's nothing to bother me."

Qin Ran smiled and commanded.

"Got it, Chief Knight."

With his men carrying empty plates, Nelson left the room, along with Aterina without reluctance.

She knew the man had a plan.

From the time the other party appeared on the battlefield openly, she had a guess.

The door was gently shut.

Qin then took a step back, and the whole person melted into the shadows.

And then......

Another 'Qin Ran' appeared.

It smelled the smell of barbecue and bread in the air, and picked up the thin futon with a blank face, praying for more warmth in its heart.
