Stomp, stomp!

The footsteps came straight to the door of Qin Ran's cell.

Click!

With the turn of the key, the heavy door was opened from the outside with a 'creaking' sound.

The light of the torch shone in instantly, making Qin Ran squint.

There were three people in total.

The person holding the torch looked respectful and held the key in his hand, he should be from the prison side, but his face was neat and his clothes were clean.

"Cell boss? Warden? ”

Qin Ran guessed the identity of the other party.

The identities of the two people standing next to each other are much easier to identify.

One person was in blue-black armor, wearing a long sword at his waist, and his face was solemn with a hint of murderous aura.

There is no doubt about the identity of the guard.

The other person was gorgeously dressed, with black silk satin at the waist and cuffs, a white wig, brown false eyebrows, and a handkerchief blocked between the mouth and nose.

This person is naturally the object of protection by the soldiers and guards.

"Damn it!"

"If it weren't for the stakes, I wouldn't have stepped here!"

The gorgeously dressed other party complained.

The voice that should have been heavy has become a little shrill because of the pinch of the throat, which makes people feel very uncomfortable and pretentious.

"My lord, you are here for the honor of your family, Your Highness will definitely understand your painstaking efforts!"

The man who was guessed by Qin Ran as the warden smiled grovelly.

But when the other party turned around and looked at Qin Ran, he looked vicious.

"This lord is, the youngest son of Grand Duke Merck, the eagle of the Duchy of Merck, and the strong swordsman Ridrel!"

"Hurry up and tell this lord of the whereabouts of the 'Inheritance Thing' that you hid before!"

The other party kicked Qin Ran hard as he spoke.

With the restraint of handcuffs and shackles, the other party was not worried about Qin Ran's resistance at all.

Even, in order to show more bravery in front of the so-called 'Eagle of the Duchy of Merck', the other party kicked and beat Qin Ran in an increasingly ferocious posture.

For Qin Ran, this is completely painless.

Although the other party behaved very fiercely.

It's just that that strength is still small and pitiful to Qin Ran.

Moreover, with the entry of the three of them, Qin Ran's attention has been on the so-called 'Eagle of the Principality of Merck'.

The thought of 'Tie. frame each other as hostages'.

Especially when I learned the identity of the other party, such thoughts became stronger and stronger.

The youngest son of Grand Duke Merck.

is undoubtedly an identity that is enough to make people jealous.

However, it is not easy to do this.

The opponent has a good guard, and he must succeed in one blow.

He didn't get a second chance.

Therefore, Qin Ran secretly moved his hands and feet.

As for the evaluation of the other party's 'swordsmanship powerhouse'?

That's all flattery.

Whoever takes it seriously is a fool.

Qin Ran hadn't seen a 'swordsman' who didn't carry a sword.

What's more, from the moment the other party entered the cell, his whole body was loose and saggy, and there was no trace of exercise on his body at all.

If such a person is a 'sword powerhouse', Qin Ran can call himself a 'Sword Saint', although he can't use a long sword.

"Say it! Say it! ”

"Hurry up and tell me, where did you hide the 'inheritance'?"

The warden urged repeatedly, and of course, the action of kicking and beating Qin Ran never stopped.

Even if it's already a little out of breath.

And the youngest son of Grand Duke Merck on the side, Riedrell was still covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, looking at Qin Ran with a proud gaze.

He was waiting for Qin Ran's answer.

He seemed to be very sure that if he continued like this, Qin Ran would truthfully explain everything.

So, when the accident happened, the young son of the Grand Duke Merck was extremely surprised and incredulous.

Ridrell lowered his head and looked at the long sword that passed through his chest from his back, and the handkerchief that had been covering his mouth and nose fell to the ground, revealing his gaping mouth.

"Uh-uh......"

The 'eagle of the Duchy of Merck' wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.

The whole person fell to the ground, and there was no sound.

It's exactly the same as the chick that was pinched to death.

"Ahh

The warden was stunned by the scene in front of him, and subconsciously wanted to exclaim.

But he was gagged by the guard, and the dagger in the guard's hand stabbed directly into the warden's chest, shattering his heart.

Burst!

The dagger was drawn, bringing up a handful of blood.

The guards didn't dodge and let the blood splash on their bodies.

He turned around, took out the long sword inserted in Ridrel's body, and looked at Qin Ran with murderous intent.

There is no meaning to speak.

The other party stabbed Qin Ran in the throat with a sword.

Looking at the long sword that stabbed at his throat, Qin Ran's whole person was a little dazed.

It's not because of the attack in front of you.

It's because of the killing of the rabbit just now.

In fact, Qin Ran was already ready to take Reedrell hostage.

But before he could make a move, Ridrel was assassinated by his own guard.

"What happened?"

Qin Ran asked himself.

Although he had doubts in his heart, Qin Ran's movements were definitely not slow.

The shackles that had been wearing on his hands collapsed in an instant, blocking the tip of the long sword.

Clang!

The tip of the sword pierced the shackles, and sparks flew everywhere.

The long sword was blocked, and the guards with murderous intent on their faces were stunned, just like Ridrel who didn't understand until he died, and the guards in front of him didn't understand why Qin Ran was able to break free from the shackles of handcuffs and leg cuffs.

But unlike Ridrel's incompetence, the guard in front of him, the blow did not work, and he immediately flipped his wrist, and as soon as the long sword was deflected, he stabbed Qin Ran in the chest again.

The guards showed considerable swordsmanship skills.

But that didn't change the final result.

Syllable!

Qin Ran dodged the other party's stab sideways, raised a kick and kicked it on the palm of the opponent's sword, followed by another kick and kicked the opponent's chest.

Bang!

The other man slammed into the wall behind him.

Qin Ran raised his hand and grabbed the long sword that fell downward, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the other party.

"Don't move!"

"You ......"

Qin Ran let out a low snort, ready to ask for more information.

He has too many doubts,

However, before Qin Ran's words could be finished, a trace of black blood overflowed from the corner of the other party's mouth, and the whole person's face lost the brilliance of life.

"This?!"

Qin Ran was stunned.

In order to ask for more information, he was merciful with his previous kick.

There will never be a fatality.

Qin Ran, who was puzzled, approached to inspect the other party's corpse.

But as soon as I got closer, a pungent spicy smell came to my nose.

"Poison?"

There is no need to be proficient in the level of [Medicine. Drug knowledge] to identify, Qin Ran already knew what it was.

The other party committed suicide by taking poison.

After confirming the impossibility of success, in order to avoid being captured and committing suicide by poisoning, such a person ......

"Dead man!"

This word appeared in Qin Ran's heart.

Except for the dead, Qin Ran couldn't think of anything else.

"A dead man can become the guard of the eldest duke's young son......"

"And, I chose this time to assassinate the other party......"

Qin Ran groaned.

Some not-so-good speculations appeared in Qin Ran's heart.

He knew the three of them were in trouble.

If you want to complete the main quest of [Escape from the Merck Principality], the difficulty has increased by more than a little bit.

"Lawless and Hans must be found as soon as possible!"

Qin Ran picked up the dagger and key on the side and left the cell quickly.
