Chapter 23: Traces
Rip, who was bitten off half of his body by the [White Wolf Spirit], died on the spot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
However, such a death does not prevent the embodiment of certain rules.
A trophy emerges from the corpse of the opposing party.
Golden.
A brilliance that was more dazzling than ordinary gold bloomed in Qin Ran's eyes.
The white giant wolf picked up this item and delivered it to Qin Ran's hands very obediently, without the fierce and terrifying appearance he had before.
It's a quaint necklace.
Crafted from all-over metal, it has a pendant the size of a thumbtip.
The pendant is engraved with secret words that Qin Ran's experts can't distinguish, and the metal chain forms a perfect whole.
[Name: Fraud of Thorns]
[Type: Jewelry]
[Quality: Epic]
[Attribute: Faith Deception]
[Requirements: None]
[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]
[Note: This is a special item made by the 'God of the Earth' Ni Carlet for Lady Vanessa]
……
[Faith Deception: When detected, will show devout faith in Lady Thorns]
……
"Nikelle?!"
When he picked up the [Thorn Fraud] and saw the remarks on it, even with Qin Ran's heart, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He never imagined that Rip, the knight captain with a dual identity, would have a relationship with Nikele.
At the same time, I also understand why Rip can have a dual identity.
A person who didn't look like a pious believer could become the chief knight of the temple, which made Qin Ran puzzled for a long time.
Now it seems that it is completely relying on the [thorn fraud].
Looking at the [Thorn Fraud] in his hand, Qin Ran thought of more.
"The 'they' in the other party's mouth are Nikailei and the others?"
"Nikele, they're dealing with Vanessa?"
Just when a guess appeared in Qin Ran's mind, a system prompt followed.

……
"Does it affect the Temple of Thorns?"
Qin Ran's heart was swirling with thoughts.
However, on the surface, he calmly put away the [Thorn Fraud].
"Your Excellency."
Miles, who had already woken up, walked quickly to Qin Ran's side.
"Tie them all up, and then, let Pirke move them here."
"Remember, what I need is a transfer that leaves no trace."
Qin Ran commanded.
"Yes, sir!"
Marzer bowed down and ran out.
With Melzer leaving, Qin Ran turned his head to look at Atelena.
Before Qin Ran could speak, the temple deacon took the initiative to say, "I am willing to cooperate with you in anything!" ”
Between the words, the temple deacon looked at the [White Wolf Spirit] from time to time, with an unconcealable horror on his face.
Obviously, the situation just now when the [White Wolf Spirit] silently bit off half of Rep's body scared the temple deacon.
"Anything?"
Qin Ran emphasized.
"Yes, anything!"
The temple deacon nodded.
"Including turning your back on the Temple of Thorns?"
Qin Ran asked with a squint.
"As long as you're willing to keep me safe, I can betray the Temple of Thorns!"
After a slight hesitation, the temple deacon said.
"You're such a realistic person!"
"Maybe that's why Lady Vanessa didn't like you."
"However, I feel lucky to have a collaborator like you."
Qin Ran said this.
Then, he turned around and walked towards the side of the hall.
There was a jar full of arcane scripts.
As soon as they got closer, a fishy smell came over the surface, and even the lid of the jar could not hide the smell.
What's inside?
The answer is self-evident.
The Holy Grail of Thorns!
There is no other possibility than this.
Of course, for a more definite answer, Qin Ran will check further.
But it's not here.
Qin Ran raised his hand and waved the [White Wolf Spirit] as quietly as it appeared, and it was also silent when it disappeared.
However, it is not the kind of abrupt disappearance in place.
Instead, he ran into the shadows on one side and slowly disappeared.
It's as if you've melted into the shadows.
This was naturally deliberately done by Qin Ran.
In order to deliberately mislead Aterina.
In the face of a collaborator like Aterina, it is definitely not a good thing to be known too much by the other party.
Everything was just as Qin Ran expected.
When he saw the [White Wolf Spirit] melt into the shadows and disappear, the temple priest shuddered unconsciously.
"This—is this a hunter's fair?"
"No, it's not!"
"None of the hunters, the animal companions of the high priest of the temple fair, can be as terrible as that giant wolf!"
"Not only does it come and go silently, but it is also invulnerable......"
The temple priest thought, and his gaze involuntarily looked at the shadows around him.
She always felt that the giant wolf was not leaving, but hiding in it, peeking at her, and if she made something out of the ordinary, he would pounce and bite her neck.
Regarding the other party's panicked look, Qin Ran nodded with satisfaction.
Then, without saying a word, he began to inspect the stronghold.
Suddenly, the entire hall fell silent.
In the midst of this silence, the temple deacons became extremely difficult.
Fortunately, the departed Melzer soon returned.
Also with mimosa and Pilke and others.
The original 'greenstone' killer who had just been dominated was also among them.
After several people entered the hall, they saluted Qin Ran one after another.
"This is your temporary base for the time being."
"I've checked here, and there's enough supplies to keep you alive for a month."
Qin Ran said, and looked at the mimosa.
"You're staying here, too."
A very simple sentence, but it was enough for Mimosa to understand that Qin Ran would not be able to take care of himself in the next matter.
Although he had left Qin Ran, the fear in his heart had already made him panic.
But mimosas try to behave as normally as possible.
He didn't want Qin Ran to be distracted by him.
"I'll try not to be a liability!"
The mimosa who told him this in his heart remained silent.
But in Qin Ran's eyes, such a normal mimosa is the biggest abnormality.
Glancing at the mimosa again, Qin Ran, who knew what he should do at this moment, walked towards Lepu's corpse after giving a simple command to a few of his subordinates who were being dominated.
This body is still useful and needs to be disposed of.
But more important was the jar that contained the 'Holy Grail of Thorns'.
Whether the next plan can succeed or not depends on it.
Of course, the cooperation of the other party is indispensable during the period.
In fact, the other party was far more cooperative than Qin Ran had planned.
