Not only did Conti react, but Rehard, Lie, and the remaining three xenoknights also reacted. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Without any command, the crowd began to search.

But......

Nothing!

With the corpse of the xeno-knight as the center of the circle, the entire convoy was included, but nothing was still found, and it was not until the unwilling Conti expanded the scope of the search that he discovered something unusual.

"Here!"

Conti stood outside a bush in the distance and waved his hand.

Everyone walked over quickly, and when they walked around the bushes, everyone's bodies were shaken.

A large cauldron was placed behind the bushes, and there was still a remnant of warm green soup in it, giving off an inexplicable pungent smell.

"W-What is this?"

Rehard, Lie, and the remaining three xenohorsemen looked at each other for unknown reasons.

In the end, the eyes of everyone and the aliens all looked at Qin Ran, who was walking slowly.

Qin Ran's eyes looked at the crucible, and then he looked in the direction of the convoy.

The distance between the two in a straight line is at least 100 meters, and with the obstruction of the bushes, standing in the position just now, it is definitely impossible to see here.

But once you get closer, the pungent smell can't be hidden.

"It's fine!"

After Qin Ran said a silent sentence in his heart, he motioned to Rehard and Lie to search this place carefully, and waved his hand at the three xenomorph knights, arranging to protect the convoy.

And Qin Ran followed Conti's example and expanded the scope of the search.

"Strange!"

"How is that possible?"

"Even if the neck is broken by a special force, there must be blood on the wound on the skull, but why is there no trace left?"

Conti involuntarily followed behind Qin Ran, muttering to himself.

Qin Ran listened to the other party's self-talk, but did not answer.

Conti is clearly different, though.

"Did you find anything?"

Conti asked directly.

"Nope!"

Qin Ran shook his head.

"Really?"

"But the look you just had ......"

Conti looked at Qin Ran suspiciously.

Although he had not been in contact with Qin Ran for a long time, Conti also knew that Qin Ran was a thoughtful person and extremely cautious.

Strange murders like this appeared next to people like Qin Ran, and Qin Ran's performance was really a little too bland.

No!

It can't be said to be bland.

It can be said that ......

Conti frowned, trying to describe how she felt, but couldn't find the adjective.

"I'm thinking about the other party's intentions!"

Qin Ran said so.

"Intentions?"

Conti's face was puzzled.

"There are a few things you can ask Herbert."

After Qin Ran finished saying this, he didn't answer, but searched the surroundings extremely carefully and carefully.

The search lasted nearly an hour.

But apart from the cauldron that Conti had found, there was nothing.

Qin Ran turned around and walked quickly towards the convoy.

And Conti, who had been following Qin Ran for nearly an hour, looked at Qin Ran with more and more puzzled eyes.

"I think we should go back to the Kalhat barracks and make a readjustment - we are facing an enemy that we know nothing about, and the defense in the barracks is still worth reassuring...... I don't want more people to die from this weird trick! ”

As soon as he returned to the convoy, Herbert, who had been waiting for a long time, said.

At the same time, a note was handed to Qin Ran.

It reads: Shudrin Castle is safe and will be fine.

Even though only the two of them could see it, the old scholar was very careful to hide the key words.

"Trust me, sometimes it's not a good thing to have a lot of people!"

"The goal remains the same!"

"Continue towards Shudrin Castle!"

After Qin Ran finished speaking, he got into his own carriage.

Faced with Qin Ran's insistence, Herbert shrugged helplessly.

The rest, apart from Conti's frown, did not object.

Rehard and Lie, who were dominated by Qin Ran, would not oppose Qin Ran.

Qin Ran's identity as a 'royal family' and his strong strength were enough for the three xenomorph knights to know what to do.

The convoy is on the road again.

Following Qin Ran's carriage, Conti whispered to Herbert.

When a note full of words appeared in Conti's hand, the eyes of the former bounty hunter widened.

Conti looked at this picture that roughly described Herbert's handwriting and Qin Ran's conversation, and the text full of Herbert's own guesses, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "Witch?!" ”

As the new generation of 'guardians' of the ancient city of Aesop, Conti is inextricably linked to the Nick Dynasty, and naturally it is not unheard of witches.

She even knows some witch secrets.

Thinking of the crucible he had just seen, Conti could no longer sit still.

"Your Excellency Herbert, I'll go back as soon as I go!"

After handing over the reins of the carriage to Herbert, Conti walked towards the carriage where Qin Ran was.

Just like before.

Qin Ran's body sank into the soft cushion, and his whole face was thoughtful.

"Why didn't you tell me that the witch had her eye on you?"

"Do you know how terrible those guys are?"

"We should follow the advice of His Excellency Herbert and return to the Halhat barracks, at least that's your territory, they won't be so easy to set up!"

Conti said again and again as soon as he entered the carriage.

"You know witches well?"

Qin Ran looked at Condy in surprise.

"Of course!"

"The ancient city of Aesop was at war for ten years with a certain witch - not only did they craft strange potions, but they also cast unheard-of curses, and even the most powerful ones could peek into the future...... Damn, why didn't I think it was a witch's handiwork? ”

Conti cursed, then looked at Qin Ran with an extremely solemn expression, and she said, "I know how powerful you are, and I will never deny this, but no matter how powerful a person is, he can't avoid the poisonous arrows in the shadows!" What witches are best at making is poisoned arrows! ”

"Thank you!"

Qin Ran nodded.

"You agree to go back?"

Conti looked at Qin Ran with a little surprise.

In her impression, Qin Ran was not such a person to persuade her.

"No, it's just what you said to me, and I'll remember it!"

"Those rats that hide in the gutter will have nowhere to hide once they encounter the sun!"

"I'll show them how terrible the consequences of messing with me are!"

Qin Ran said in a deep voice, and a colorful light appeared from his eyes again between the words.

The evil has a domineering majesty, which makes Conti, who still wants to be persuaded, stagnate.

Conti looked at Qin Ran in front of her, and she suddenly found that the person in front of her had already undergone earth-shaking changes from the person in her impression.

At a loss, Conti left Qin Ran's carriage and silently returned to his carriage to take the reins from Herbert.

"Did something happen?"

The old scholar asked, looking at Conti's expression.

"No, nothing."

Conti hid her emotions and began to concentrate on driving the carriage.

The speed of the convoy suddenly increased.

Moreover, there were no accidents on the way afterward.

Xiudelin Castle, which originally needed to be arrived in one day, after a day and half a night, the general outline of the castle appeared in Qin Ran's sight.

Also present are ......

Corpse!

Hanged from a roadside tree, the corpse of a xenomorph knight.

There were five corpses, swaying back and forth in the night wind, like waving arms, as if welcoming the arrival of Qin Ran and his party.
