Chapter 13: The Island of the End
The person in front of him was tall, but his face was ugly and hideous. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the cracked mouth, there is a mouthful of rotten yellow teeth, a blood-stained long knife in his hand, and a head on the ground, which makes the other party look murderous.
But Qin Ran looked at each other calmly with his eyes.
Not only because its own strength is enough to deal with the current crisis, but also because the other party 'revealed' clues.
The seemingly murderous other party has no real killing intent!
Even if he was stared at by the other party like this, Qin Ran didn't feel the discomfort of being on his back.
To put it simply, the other party is posturing.
As for why?
Templar Trials!
Except for this answer, Qin Ran couldn't think of anything else.
"As soon as you get on board, does the trial begin?"
"So ......"
"Is that part of it?"
Qin Ran's gaze looked at the head at his feet, and Ai Hinder grinned his teeth, obviously in pain before he died.
If it was really a trial, Aihinder would naturally not die.
Even, those who fell into the water before are likely to be part of the trial.
The blood spilling from the skull, though, is real.
At this point, Qin Ran only relied on his sense of smell, so he would not make a mistake.
And the skull itself?
The moment Qin Ran picked it up and touched it, he could distinguish the real from the fake.
"Made of clay?"
Qin Ran asked in surprise.
When the other party threw his head just now, he didn't handle it lightly, and with the hardness of the clay after firing, it should have been thrown to pieces like that.
Obviously, there's something special in it.
"When did you find out?"
When Qin Ran was examining his head, the imposing intruder reluctantly put down the blood-stained long knife in his hand and looked at Qin Ran with puzzled eyes.
And that voice was Ehinder!
has been discovered, there is no need to cover up, Ai Shinder drove away the disguise on his body, and after recovering the appearance of the previous meeting, he couldn't help but ask: "Is there a flaw in me?" ”
In fact, as the examiner of the preliminary examination, Eihinder thought that he had done it well enough.
Whether it is the grasp of the timing or the configuration of props, it should be seamless.
The other deceived trialists illustrate this point.
But Qin Ran ......
Although he felt that Qin Ran was not easy to handle before, so he went out in person, what he didn't expect was that he still messed up.
"There is no killing intent, and the murderous spirit has its appearance."
"Can you tell me what's going on here now?"
Although he guessed most of them, Qin Ran still wanted to hear the full ins and outs.
"As soon as you get aboard, the trial begins—reintroducing the preliminary examiner of the trial, Ehind!"
Shrugging his shoulders, Ashhind introduced himself again.
However, instead of stretching out his hand as he did last time, he bowed in the old knightly salute.
“2567。”
Qin Ran straightened up and responded with the corresponding etiquette.
"The famous 'Death Bird' and 'Flame Demon' are even more powerful than I imagined."
"Congratulations!"
"As the only one on the ship who discovered my flaw, you've made it!"
Ehinder said with a smile.
"Finding a flaw is a condition for passing the test?"
Qin Ran asked.
"Of course not!"
"Bravery, justice, wisdom, and mercy only have one of them, and they are considered to have passed!"
"But, alas, the Trialists who are on board with you do not possess these things—they are apathetic, unwilling to lend a helping hand to the toiling sailors on board, and lacking true bravery! If there are not enough benefits, they will only be a bunch of cowards, and when more interests appear, they are completely confused! ”
Ashin shook his head.
"Just a little bit of that?"
Although he didn't know much about the 'paladin' of the Templar, according to Qin Ran's guess, it shouldn't be so simple as 'having a little'.
"If it was hundreds of years ago, you would have to have all four things, but now ......"
"The Templar has been 1,500 years old, and it has not been affected by 'faults', not only because it is remote, but also because it is resilient enough!"
When Eichender said this, he did not have a proud expression.
It's a kind of helplessness mixed with embarrassment.
But Qin Ran could see that the other party still had a trace of concealment.
However, Qin Ran didn't ask very interestingly.
If he asks in his current capacity, he will not be able to get any useful information, and it will make the conversation between the two parties, which seems to be good at the moment, as awkward as the other party's expressions.
Therefore, Qin Ran directly changed the topic.
"Can you tell us about this trial?"
"Boyle didn't tell me anything more than the title of a reserve knight."
Qin Ran asked what he wanted to know the most.
"Of course!"
"As a first-time passer, 2567 you have the right to know everything you can know now - we will set out again tomorrow at sunset, and we will arrive at the Island of Trials, as they are often called, at sunset! There, you'll face further trials! ”
Ashinder said.
Immediately, Qin Ran raised his eyebrows.
"That's all I know now?"
Qin Ran accentuated his pronunciation to emphasize whether the other party had any negligence.
After all, the other party's words are simply the same as not being spoken.
"Yes."
"That's all you know!"
"Actually, even I, as the examiner of the first examiner, don't know what the next trial will be, but I can give you a personal suggestion, it's best to keep your spirits up before you land on the Island of the End tomorrow!"
But Ai Hinder said very seriously.
But without explaining more, he got up and picked up the 'head' and walked out.
As the door closed, Qin Ran was left alone in the cabin again.
He thought with a slight frown.
Regarding what Ai Hinder said, 'Even if I am the examiner of the preliminary examination, I don't know', Qin Ran is skeptical.
Because, this is contradictory to the private advice given by the other party.
However, it does not mean that the other person is lying.
It is also possible that the other party gave him a hint based on his experience in previous years.
But no matter whether what the other party said was true or not, Qin Ran knew that the next step was the main event.
In front of you, it's just an appetizer.
"The Island of the End?"
Qin Ran whispered this ominous name.
And the boat moved again.
Moving forward at a speed several times faster than before.
Obviously, Ashinde, who had completed the task, did not need to disguise anything.
The ship is moving at full speed.
As the night passed, the sun rose.
Then, when it was about to fall again, a small island appeared in front of the ship.
Under the setting sun, the ice and the islands, which were also covered with ice and snow, were dyed red, like fire and blood.
And Qin Ran, who was already waiting on the deck, looking at the island in front of him, had a change in his face.
A person who should not have appeared appeared in his field of vision. (To be continued.) )
