Chapter 14: A Seeming Dilemma

Wizard!

Qin Ran saw at a glance that the sheriff of the West Coast, wearing a thick cotton coat, walked from a boat to the bridge, and then boarded the dock of the island along the bridge. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Why is Shi Qi here?"

"Is it ......?"

"Bastard Boyle!"

A guess appeared in Qin Ran's heart, and suddenly, the mood that was not bad became extremely bad.

Qin Ran was more than eighty percent sure that Shi Qi's appearance here had an inseparable relationship with Boyle.

After all, the scroll with the name of the trialist was in Boyle's possession.

Without Boyle, Sage would not have been here.

Shi Qi who came here must be full of dangers.

Perhaps the trials on the ship were not dangerous yet.

But once you land on the Island of End, your life will inevitably be in danger.

Although Ai Hinder didn't tell Qin Ran anything directly, the meaning of the words was extremely clear - the adventure of the Island of the End was not a play.

Not to mention, the Island of the End is not the end of the trial.

With Shi Qi's strength not much stronger than ordinary people, coming here is really looking for death.

What's more, with the relationship between the two parties, once something happens to Shi Qi, it is impossible for him to die without help.

Boyle should have been well aware of this, but he did it anyway.

So......

"What the hell are you doing?"

Qin Ran's brows furrowed at everything.

Although the contact time was not long, Qin Ran understood that Boyle was not a person without a purpose, and the other party must have the other party's reasons for doing so.

Or well-intentioned.

Or malicious.

While Qin Ran was thinking, Ai Hinder walked over.

"I'll have to send you here."

"You'll need to complete the rest of the journey yourself, there's a wooden house in the center of the island, and that's where your trial begins!"

"Remember, get there before dark! Otherwise, you will lose your qualification for the trial! ”

"Hope we have a chance to say goodbye!"

The preliminary examiner had no intention of landing on the Island of End, and after waving goodbye to Qin Ran by the bridge, he returned to the ship.

The ship, without stopping, returned directly.

Not only the ship that Qin Ran was on, but also the ship that sent Shi Qi to the Island of the End before.

Approaching the bridge, and then putting down Shi Qi, he left in a hurry.

There seems to be some special rule.

It seems to be because of something else.

Qin Ran couldn't think about it for the time being.

Because, the side quest appeared-

[Search: Finding Shi Qi in the shortest possible time is the most important thing you need to do now!] 】

(Note: Reviews will vary depending on the time spent)

……

There are side quests.

plus the relationship between himself and Shi Qi.

After Qin Ran boarded the bridge, he rushed forward.

There was no need for a matchless level [tracking], just relying on the clearly visible footprints in the snow, Qin Ran quickly chased after Shi Qi.

But these footprints came to an abrupt end after leaving the docks.

Qin Ran, who was chasing after the footprints, stopped, and he lowered his head to look at the footprints in the snow.

The previous footprint also left a depth of about 10 centimeters in the snow.

The next footprint is a shallow layer, and I didn't step into it at all.

Then, it was gone.

Only the footprints left when they came.

But there are no footprints to keep going.

Qin Ran frowned and looked around.

There are no more traces on the thick snow.

"Shi Qi, who got the same information as me about the 'Island Center Cabin', must have been moving at full speed, he came out of the dock at a fast speed, walked here without stopping, and then, without any struggle, disappeared...... No, no, not only did there not have any struggles, but even the posture of moving forward did not change, and it just disappeared out of thin air! ”

Such a picture appeared in Qin Ran's mind.

The slightly larger footprints on the snow and the large splash marks were enough to prove that Shi Qi was moving forward with all his might.

This is only left when a person is hurrying through the snow.

But there is no trace of it on the surrounding snow.

Even if the kidnapper could fly, it would be impossible for him to do such a thing.

Because, even if Shi Qi loses the strength to resist, the footprints left behind will not be so natural, and there will inevitably be additional changes such as: uneven footprints, tilting, and so on because of the force exerted on Shi Qi's body, or the change in the center of Shi Qi.

Instead of leaving only one point and not continuing as it is now.

"Disappear into thin air?"

Qin Ran glanced around again, and then returned the same way to inspect the entire dock and bridge.

Nothing noteworthy.

However, Qin Ran knew that there must have been something he had overlooked.

However, Qin Ran in front of him didn't have time to look for something that had been overlooked.

The afterglow of the setting sun is about to fade.

Night is coming.

If he didn't reach the cabin in the center of the island before nightfall, he would be disqualified......

The long-lost sense of irritability rose from the bottom of Qin Ran's heart.

On one side is just an aborigine.

On the other side will be the main quest that will affect the income of his entire dungeon world, and even punishment.

There is such a contrast.

In the original Qin Ran's opinion, it was naturally a good choice.

But at this moment, when something happened, Qin Ran found that such a choice was not so easy.

If it was just a strange aborigine, Qin Ran would not hesitate at all.

But Shiqi is no stranger.

The two sides have worked together more than once, and they have fought side by side.

Such a sense of familiarity made it difficult for Qin Ran, who was not really indifferent in his heart, to choose.

After all, everything in front of him was so real, it was difficult for Qin Ran to treat Shi Qi as an NPC that didn't exist anymore.

Perhaps, when players came up with the term 'native', they already tacitly assumed certain identities.

It's just that most players don't notice this.

Or rather, I found it but didn't want to admit it.

Call!

"Do you have to give up the main quest to find Shiqi?"

"Isn't there a ...... that has the best of both worlds?"

"Wait!"

"Maybe ......"

Qin Ran, who suddenly thought of something, narrowed his eyes.

He thought for a few seconds, and then, regardless of it, rushed towards the center of the island.

……

Inside the crystal ball, Qin Ran's every move was revealed.

Looking at Qin Ran, who had made a choice, the people who stayed in the wooden house in the center of the island sighed slightly.

Originally, he was very optimistic about Qin Ran.

After all, it was the one who valued and prophesied.

Naturally, there is something extraordinary.

But Qin Ran's performance in front of him made him very disappointed.

"Even Nikelet, you've had times when you've lost your eyes!"

"Even if you are revered as a 'god of the earth,' you are not truly an all-knowing and all-powerful deity......

Bang!

Before the sigh could fully fall, the door of the wooden house was kicked open.

The cold wind swept in with the cabin, blowing the campfire inside the cabin.

But what made people feel even more chilling was a dark red two-handed greatsword.

The tip of the sword was pointed at the one who sighed.

"Say, where's Shi Qi?"

Qin Ran asked word by word. (To be continued.) )
