Chapter 18: The Envoy (2-in-1 Chapter)
"This, this is a reward, a reward. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Esphanie stammered, and then, the lady reacted immediately, immediately emphasizing: "I didn't force him, he took the initiative to give it to me." β
However, such an emphasis is obviously counterproductive.
The coldness in Qin Ran's eyes was rapidly intensifying.
Feeling the change in Qin Ran's eyes, Esphanie was almost about to cry.
She never imagined that the friend of the little sheep-like guy would be a lone wolf.
Sheep and wolves are obviously two species, why can they be together?
She thought that she would meet another fat sheep and could slaughter a good sum.
Esphanie shouted as she scolded herself for being greedy.
"I swear by my last name."
"Everything I said is true!"
The words are loud and powerful, and the voice is also sonorous and powerful.
But......
Qin Ran wouldn't believe a word.
Because, he is well aware of the character of the mimosa.
I know more clearly what kind of situation I will fall into if I have a deal with the other party in an embarrassing situation at that time.
'Le. So'!
Or more accurately, a one-sided, easy-to-do. robbery'.
Mimosa can't do anything at all except for a sentence or two that can't be rebutted.
Even, I didn't even dare to refute, at most I opened my mouth and couldn't say a word.
Qin Ran never doubted that Mimosa would do this.
And he will not suspect the greed under the appearance of the woman in front of him.
The kind of resonance that almost attracted the admiration of the original sin 'greed' as soon as it appeared, made Qin Ran already have a deep enough understanding of the other party.
Call!
The scorching flame bloomed on Qin Ran's left hand.
When all the people in the security center saw the flames in Qin Ran's palm, their faces changed, and their expressions were different.
Old Vic and Sayil simply thought of some rumors, and their faces were filled with more and more awe.
Snarke, Blue, and Wylie, who already had a knowledge of Qin Ran's identity, were full of memories.
Esfanie is much simpler.
Fear.
Fear in its purest form.
Rumors about the Burning Family came to mind one by one.
Then, Esphanie's already bright brain began to spin at a much faster speed than usual.
She recalls the aftermath of her appearance.
And, quickly grasped the key point.
"Please spare me, sir!"
"I'll help you find Lord Steinbeck!"
"After all, I'm the only one here who has seen him!"
Esphanie said in a cohesive voice.
She swore it was the fastest she had ever spoken.
As soon as the words spoke, Esphanie closed her eyes, as if she did not dare to look at the final result.
For three or four seconds, Esphanie, who did not feel the burning or pain, opened her eyes, not both eyes, but her left eye.
When he found that the flame in Qin Ran's hand had disappeared, he opened his eyes and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Survived!
But before Stephanie could truly rejoice, a sense of powerlessness spread from all over her body, causing her to fall to the ground.
It was only then that Esphanie realized that not only was her whole body weak, but that the cold sweat had already soaked her carefully prepared clothes.
Call.
A night breeze blew.
Esphanie shuddered.
But this kind of coldness is really small compared to Qin Ran's eyes.
When she found Qin Ran staring at her, Esphanie immediately stopped trembling and said in the most gentle and gentle tone possible, "I met Steinbeck in a small alley in the City of Dawn, he was in trouble, but someone was secretly protecting him. β
"That person is very powerful, I don't know the identity of the other party, Steinbeck also noticed that person, and was very wary of that person, and even used some kind of prop to divert that person's attention when he traded with me."
"The man was deceived, but he didn't get angry, he just warned me not to talk about Steinbeck casually, and Steinbeck, who was taken away, didn't resist."
"I deduced that person should be Steinbeck's bodyguard, and Steinbeck should have come from a big family, but ...... It's a little different awkward, and it's weird anyway. β
Without Qin Ran's urging, Esphanie just talked about her encounter with Steinbeck.
She now fully understood that the only way to save her life was to use Steinbeck as a 'protection. umbrella'.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured."
"I remember what that man looked like, and with my power in the City of Dawn, I'll easily find that person, and then find Lord Steinbeck."
Esphanie said, cautiously raising her head to look at Qin Ran.
When she saw the coldness in Qin Ran's eyes dissipate, Esphanie's heart that had been carrying it was completely relaxed, and she immediately said, "My lord, I will set off immediately to find the whereabouts of His Excellency Steinbeck for you." β
With that, Esphanie moved towards the gate of the police station.
Qin Ran didn't make a sound, let alone stop him, he just looked at the other party like this.
Sweat oozing from Esphanie's forehead.
After a while, it was densely packed.
Then, Esphanie walked back.
"My lord, I thought about it and thought it would be better to follow your instructions to find His Excellency Steinbeck."
Esphanie said.
Qin Ran glanced at Esphanie, who had lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, and walked straight out of the door, carrying back Esphanie's companion who had kicked him unconscious.
After throwing it in front of Esphanie, Qin Ran's eyes looked at Snarke, Blue, and Wylie.
There are no words.
But just Qin Ran's gaze made the slightly relaxed atmosphere become solemn again.
Snark racked his brains to think of words that could persuade Qin Ran.
But before the twin swordsman could think of it, his two companions spoke again.
"The 'marksman' died under the bow and arrows, without complaint or regret!"
"Fight me again!"
"To be able to die under such a secret technique, there is no regret!"
"I'd love to face you up again!"
Blue and Wylie shouted almost in no particular order.
Similar remarks made the two stunned, and after subconsciously glancing at each other, they both saw an inexplicably familiar look on each other's faces.
The two smiled as if they had met for the first time.
Snark, on the other hand, covered his face and groaned in pain as he kept banging his head against the wall.
"At this time, what kind of tacit understanding do you two have?"
"Don't you know it's going to die!"
"Do the dead understand?"
"People can only live once, and if they die, everything is over!"
An almost roaring sound erupted from Snark's mouth.
"Then why are you willing to die for us?"
Blue asked rhetorically.
"Yes, you're willing to die for us, why can't we find a way for you to live?"
Wylie sighed.
Snark was stunned.
"You, you ......"
"Because, I made it up, and I am naturally responsible."
The Twin Swordsmen stammered in explanation.
But Blue and Wylie didn't listen at all.
The two of them had already looked at Qin Ran again.
"It's an honor to die under the arrows of the 'marksman'."
"It's also a great honor to die under unknown skills."
"Bastard!"
"Can you hear me?!"
Snark, who was a little moved just now, looked at the appearance of the two companions and couldn't help but roar madly.
This time, the roar was completely a roar.
The roof of the police station was shaken with a layer of ash.
Dust fell into the nose of the unconscious Esphanie's companion, and the tall, muscular man let out a straight sneeze.
"Ahh
"It's you!"
"Tell you, with me, I won't let you hurt the envoy!"
The man woke up with a sneeze, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Qin Ran, and the other party immediately got up and blocked in front of Esphanie, saying word by word.
"Envoy?!"
Immediately, everyone was attracted to this word.
Qin Ran squinted even more and began to look at Esphanie again.
"That's right!"
"Lord Esphanie is an envoy sent by the royal family to investigate the anomalies of the Burning Dawn!"
The man said in a triumphant tone.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he said in a serious tone to everyone present: "This is a secret, you must keep it a secret." β
Hey, hey!
Since it's a secret, don't say it so openly!
Everyone looked at the man with idiotic eyes.
Qin Ran is no exception.
Moreover, it is still speculating whether the other party's brain was damaged in some way because of the impact just now.
But then, Qin Ran immediately denied this.
"In order to keep it a secret, I tell you my name, my name is Laurlie, and I am Lord Esphanie's most loyal servant."
"Well, now that you know my name, you've promised to keep it a secret from me."
Said the tall man named Laurley.
Who promised you secrecy.
It's clear that you're talking to yourself.
Old Vic, Sayil, and Snark rolled their eyes in unison.
Qin Ran walked in front of Esphanie.
"Royal envoys?"
Qin Ran asked.
"Yes, yes...... Misunderstand! β
"I just found an identity for convenience, not because I wanted to take advantage of the burning dawn to make a fortune."
"Well, I'm just a liar."
"I hope to make a fortune while it's messing."
"But I have no ill will towards you, please let me go."
Esphanie subconsciously wanted to tell her fabricated identity, but after coming into contact with Qin Ran's gaze, she immediately told the truth.
Esphanie lowered her voice, obviously not wanting anyone around her to hear.
However, it was still heard by the people around him.
Her servant, Laurly, turned his head from the conversation with the others.
"Esphanie-sama, are you hiding your identity?"
"In the face of the enemy, you can hide yourself so calmly and say that you are a liar!"
"Sure enough, it's Esphanie-sama."
"You are truly someone worthy of my life's following!"
Laurley covered his mouth, tears and snot streaming down his face.
It can be justified like this!
Is this a real idiot?!
Old Vic, Sayil, and Snak were all speechless.
"How much do you know about Burning Dawn?"
Qin Ran ignored people like Laurleigh and asked straight to Esphanie.
"I don't know much."
"However, the City of Dawn did send an envoy from the royal family to investigate the attack on the Burning Dawn near the Supreme Road."
Esphanie, who had long been accustomed to what Laurley was, also did not squint.
In fact, if it weren't for Laurly's bad brain and good strength, how could Esphanie lead the other party to the Supreme Path.
"The attack on Burning Dawn caught the attention of the City of Dawn......"
"And mimosas in the City of Dawn!"
"Double-lined?"
"So ......"
"What's the most important thing?"
"Near the Road of the Highest?"
"Or the City of Dawn?"
Qin Ran sat in the chair, his fingers tapping on the armrest of the chair.
The information in front of him was not enough to piece together a complete puzzle, but the existing puzzle coincided with Qin Ran's previous secret guess.
Judging by the information that Mimosa holds the main scroll of the dungeon, it is likely that the City of Dawn is more important.
But with the 'broker' turmoil, this inference is not necessarily correct.
Moreover, Qin Ran guessed that maybe it was the 'broker's troubles that made the mission what it is now.
Glancing at the mimosa's letter again, Qin Ran had a final decision.
He looked at Esphane again.
"What do you command, sir?"
Esfanie immediately asked.
"Take your servant and go on to the Burning Dawn Quarter, and help me find out the newsβI'll give you three days, and whatever news you find within three days, you must return to Gravel and tell me everything."
"And the three of you!"
"I'll give you another chance to challenge fairly, if you win I'll let you go, and if you lose, I need you to be my subordinate for three months!"
"It only takes three months, and after three months, I will give you freedom and will not restrict you in any way."
Qin Ran's gaze swept over everyone in the room except Old Vic and Sayil, and said in an unquestionable tone.
"Yes."
Snark, Blue, and Wylie nodded in unison.
As for Esphanie?
In Qin Ran's eyes, the other party had no right to refuse at all.
Contracts were signed.
Esphanie hurried away with her servant.
Silk, Blue, and Wylie stood behind Qin Ran with blue noses and swollen faces.
Challenge, you say?
It was over within seconds of signing the contract.
Facing the serious Qin Ran, the three of Snark were even worse than last time, and they were knocked to the ground without even reacting.
"My lord, I am willing to swear allegiance to you!"
Old Vic and Sayil saw the three of Snak who had escaped, and immediately shouted in unison.
The hope of real survival has appeared, and people like Old Vic and Sayil are not willing to give up, and they must get it from each other first.
No one wants to be the passive one.
"Not only do I know about one of that guy's secret strongholds, but I also know that a person's relationship with that guy is extraordinary!"
Old Vic looked at it and said first.
"My lord, in addition to bringing you a considerable fortune, I can also find you at least fifty high-grade war horses!"
Not to be outdone, Sayil said.
Old Vic and Sayil are scrambling to show their worth.
Qin Ran just sat like this, as if he couldn't hear anything.
Because, he knew very well, silence would inevitably make him gain more.
