The assassin who succeeded in the blow shrank like a cat, dodging the attack of the two attendants of the rich middle-aged man.

The sword was almost pressed against the Assassin, but the Assassin threw the dagger in his hand unhurriedly, pulling the hidden trigger at the same time.

Sou!

Burst!

The short, sharp arrow of the crossbow in the left arm pierced the neck of one squire, and the dagger pierced the neck of another.

The two sturdy squires who had just swung their swords to attack fell to the ground clutching their throats.

The Assassin straightened up unhurriedly, grabbed his dagger, and pulled it out.

Burst!

Another gushing of blood.

The assassin shook the blood from his dagger and raised his left thumb in front of the onrushing soldiers, slowly slashing it down his throat.

then

Bang!

Thick smoke filled the surroundings.

The rushing soldiers, the people lining up, were all shrouded in smoke.

"Quiet!"

"Keep order!"

The leader of the soldiers shouted.

But it didn't work at all.

Blood and corpses frightened ordinary people.

Screams of panic.

Panicked footsteps.

Directly put the gates of Etaninburg into chaos.

Pol stood still and didn't move.

Although such scenes are rare, he is definitely not unfamiliar.

Blood and corpses are even more familiar to players.

With the exception of rookies, every veteran knows what to do when they encounter something like this in the dungeon world: keep the move in line with their identity.

Don't try to change anything.

Because, not yet.

Because, that will only make everything worse.

Therefore, he was not surprised by Qin Ran's silence.

You know, this is Etannople!

Etaninburgh with the God of War and the Calamity Lady!

Even the 'Demon of Fire' can't be unscrupulous.

Pol, though, was clearly more concerned about the body.

"Hopefully that guy isn't the one I thought he was."

Pol prayed in a low voice.

"Between the good and the bad, the odds of the bad are often much greater."

Qin Ran replied.

Pol was helpless, and he also knew that the rich middle-aged man was most likely the legendary businessman Kate. Hal, but there is still a little fluke in his heart.

But as the smoke cleared, Pol smiled wryly as Aite, the caravan's interim leader, rushed towards the corpse with a frightened and bewildered face.

It's over.

His most direct and easiest 'loan' channel is gone.

And, it's not the worst.

Worst of all, with Kate. With the death of Howl, the legendary merchant, more soldiers appeared at the city gates, and all those at the city gates were to be censored.

In particular, 'outsiders' are a top priority.

Looking at the soldiers surrounding the caravan, their swords unsheathed and their arquebuses held high, Pol cooperated and raised his hands to show that he was not threatened.

And Qin Ran sat back in the carriage long before this moment.

The soldier just controls the scene.

These are not the real interrogators.

Instead of wasting time with the soldiers below, it would be better to have some tea and snacks.

The tea is light and fragrant.

The snack is slightly sweet.

Although it is not as crispy as the original baked, it still has a different taste.

It was a sense of precipitation of time.

Qin Ran was sure that if he left it for a few more days, blue-green spots would definitely appear.

Thankfully, there isn't yet, and you're able to enter it.

Standing under the carriage, Pol, who was holding his hands high, clearly heard the sound of Qin Ran chewing snacks and swallowing tea, and felt the cold wind blowing on his face, he couldn't help but shrink his neck.

"So, then, can I go up and get an overcoat?"

Pol asked the soldiers around him.

The soldier replied by aiming the muzzle of the arquebus at Pol's forehead.

"Okay, okay."

"I understand."

Bol immediately stood still.

But his eyes were looking around.

The others who lined up to enter the city were controlled by a group of soldiers on the other side, and several people in uniform were checking the identification of these people one by one.

The same is true for caravans.

But the difference is that there are more soldiers in the caravan, and they are all sabre-rattling.

For what?

Quite simply, the caravan guards.

The kind of robustness and the weapons that they carry with them that are different from ordinary people make these soldiers feel like they are the enemy.

Still, Pol shook his head secretly.

The assassin is definitely not here.

He's pretty sure.

The last smoke has already made the other party disappear without a trace.

And this made Pol's heart heavy.

It wasn't that he was worried about what the assassin was doing to him, he was worried about the guards, because judging by the assassination just now, everyone would agree that it was a well-planned assassination.

And one of the key points is: Kate. How Hal appeared at the city gates.

Well, Kate. How did Hal come about?

It was a message from Aite.

Aite sent the message again because of an accident in the caravan.

Among them, he and Qin Ran solved the accident.

Of course, Qin Ran was the main thing, he just made a move.

Can......

Those interrogators don't think so.

He and Qin Ran must have become the most important link.

Even if the two of them are truly innocent!

In order to suppress this assassination as soon as possible, those interrogators will definitely not let go of any suspiciousness, and even, if there are some despicable fellows among the interrogators, it is not impossible to do some kind of perjury in order to be faster.

Suddenly, Pol's mind conjured up the idea that some of his interrogators wanted to be tortured and then burned to ashes.

The 'Demon of Fire' will restrain himself.

But you will never be bullied and swallow your anger, that's not the other party's character.

"I've just arrived in Etannople, and I haven't completed the minimum main quest yet, so I'm going to face an existence like the God of War and the Calamity?"

"Although I was determined to exceed my deadline, this ...... Isn't it too fast? ”

"I'm not ready yet!"

The wry smile on the corner of Pol's mouth became more and more bitter.

Once Qin Ran makes a move, it is inevitable to face the God of War and the Lady of Calamity.

There is hardly any room for manoeuvre.

And Pol only hopes that time will come later.

However, Pol's hope did not materialize, and a man in uniform was asked to hesitate to kneel on Kate. Aether, who was next to Hal's corpse, walked straight here.

The other side has a young face, a hooked nose, like the mouth of an eagle, and his eyes are sharp like an eagle's resurrection, and his long golden hair is draped down, and he bears the small silver epaulettes.

This represents the identity of the other party: a knight.

Although it is not the level of a knight commander, it is far beyond ordinary soldiers, soldier captains and the like.

Almost on par with the deputy of an infantry regiment.

After considering the other party's age and some small details when walking, Pol decided that the other party was a young man born in the nobility, or the kind of big nobleman with a long history.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a young man to get his current identity.

And the great aristocracy with a long history has one advantage: self-cultivation and quietness.

The other party walked in front of Pol, and his sharp eyes had already scanned Bol I don't know how many times, so he said very simply: "Kur. Walton. ”

The other party reported his home.

Walton?

This surname immediately reminded Pol of the financial lieutenant of Estaninople, the Marquis of Wharton.

A nobleman with a good reputation.

And the legacy is still there.

It is rumored that the marquis is also blonde.

Looking at the appearance of the young man in front of him, Pol bowed slightly, indicating etiquette.

"Pol."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Kuhl. Lord Wharton. ”

"If there's anything you want to ask, just say it, and I won't hide it."

Pol replied as a businessman in his own right.

"Can you tell me about your attack?"

Chur. Wharton asked.

"Of course."

Bol nodded immediately and recounted what had happened, and at the end, Pol added: "We felt Etaminople in a hurry because of something, and there are many people behind us, who have the same experience as us. ”

Chur. Wharton nodded noncommittally when he heard Bol's addition.

The young nobleman, of course, understood what Pol meant.

After all, Pol accentuated the pronunciation on 'something' and 'hurry'.

However, the young nobleman had no intention of letting go.

It's not that he doesn't believe Pol's words, he has been observing Pol when he was describing just now, and he can be sure that Pol should not be lying.

Moreover, Aite said the same as Pol.

He didn't know much about Pol, but Aite did, which allowed the young nobleman to be preliminarily sure that Pol wasn't lying.

But......

At this moment, he has long stopped paying attention to the truth.

Rather, he has a strong interest in people who can solve evil spirits.

Chur. Wharton's gaze unconsciously looked at the carriage.

"That Colin is in there?"

Chur. Wharton asked.

"Yes."

Pol didn't deny it, but in his heart he lamented.

Really!

Right now, I'm going to challenge Hell Mode!

As a former veteran, Pol knows some of the rules of the 'Quest World'.

When you choose, create, and complete a difficulty that goes beyond the existing main quest, the main quest will change accordingly, and the corresponding evaluation and rewards will be increased.

In this regard, Pol will definitely not object.

But......

Can you take it step by step?

Let me finish the minimum main quest first!

Let me get used to it!

After getting Pol's affirmative answer, Kuhl. Wharton ignored Pol and grabbed the door with his hand, trying to pull it open.

However, the education he received from childhood made him stop the moment he opened the car door.

He let go of his hand and turned it into a tap.

Knock, knock.

"Come in."

After Qin Ran's voice sounded, the young nobleman no longer hesitated, opened the door, boarded the car, and closed the door of the carriage casually.

After gesturing with his eyes, the young nobleman sat down in Pol's place and began to look at Qin Ran with his sharp eyes.

Black coat, pants of the same color, leather boots.

A coat made of wool hangs on one side.

The face is ordinary, young but mature, half leaning in the cushion, slightly lazy, the eyes are casual and indifferent, the palms are slender, but there are no calluses in sight.

But......

Inexplicable palpitations are constantly emerging.

It's like looking at a tiger crawling lazily.

No!

Even a tiger wouldn't let me do that.

Only in ...... That's how I felt in front of those parliamentarians.

Don't wake him up!

Never wake him up!

A voice in his heart told him.

And Kuhl. Wharton is definitely not a young man who doesn't know what to do.

Therefore, he paused, hiding the words he had prepared in his heart, he retracted his sharp gaze, and asked in a gentle tone, "Is it Lord Colin?" ”

"Yes."

Qin Ran nodded.

"Kuhl. Walton. ”

The young nobleman introduced himself again, and then, directly, stretched out his right hand.

After confirming that the other party had no malicious intent and no hidden traps, Qin Ran's upbringing made him stretch out his hand.

After the two sides shook it slightly, it was released.

Qin Ran leaned back into the mat again.

Chur. Wharton is a delicate recollection of the feeling just now.

As seen, there are no calluses.

But it has a different sense of power.

Should be able to crush steel.

The young nobleman who had come to such a conclusion had a smile like a spring breeze on his face.

"Lord Colin, why did you come to Etaninburg?"

The other party asked.

"Because of Pol's invitation."

"On the way I rescued Bol, and then he invited me to be his escort and escorted him to Etaninburg."

Qin Ran said half-truthfully.

This is also the cliché that he and Pol have already spoken.

"Oh, I see."

"Presumably this road is not smooth, I asked His Excellency Pol before, those evils are not easy to deal with, right?"

The young nobleman tapped sideways.

"It's fine."

"They hide in the shadows."

"But if you find a weak point, it's not difficult."

Qin Ran replied.

This time it's completely real.

Although the world in front of us is special, there are still rules to speak of.

Those evils are no exception.

As long as you find the laws of those evil things, it is really not difficult to kill those evil ones, especially those who have not even completed the 'coming'.

If it is against a newly 'born', as long as the willpower is sufficient, an arquebus is enough.

"That's the same for you...... people. ”

"Do you have any thoughts on the assassination that just happened?"

The young nobleman paused, hid what he had originally wanted to say, and began to change the subject.

"Nope."

Qin Ran said truthfully.

The young nobleman was stunned.

Although it had converged a lot, it could tell that Qin Ran really didn't care about this.

After a slight hesitation in his heart, the young nobleman asked tentatively.

"That ......"

"What do you think of the new 'decree'?"

"Use Kimpton's decree to buy a knighthood."

The young nobleman's voice was unconsciously lowered.

"Nope."

Qin Ran shook his head again.

That's something that Pol needs to be connected to.

Not him.

Looking at Qin Ran, the young nobleman was puzzled.

Am I guessing wrong?

The young nobleman began to doubt his reasoning, but instead of revealing it, he took a small bag of candy from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"I see you seem to be a fan of dim sew."

"I've been bothering you for a long time, these are thank you gifts."

"They are from the 'Snow Candy House', I like to eat them, I usually bring some with me, of course, this pack is new, I haven't opened it."

The young nobleman said.

"Thank you."

Qin Ran thanked him softly.

Then, he pointed out of the carriage.

Said softly

"Be careful."
