Chapter 85: Hooked

"Can you come out?"

"Uninvited guest!"

Qin Ran leaned against the pool of the hot spring, and had no intention of moving or adjusting his body, so he said slowly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The slightly familiar way of hiding and hiding was enough for Qin Ran to guess where the other party came from.

'Council of Seniors'!

After more than a month of contact with the observer, the 'high-level inviter' finally appeared, again in a fairly direct way.

This style of trespassing on the old enemy forces is really full of the style of the 'Council of Elders'.

"Uninvited guests?"

"You should have been notified in advance!"

In the cold and chilly voice, the looming figure became clear.

The dense heat rolled to both sides, like two rows of waiters, welcoming the arrival of that figure, while the other party was like a nobleman standing on the water out of thin air, looking at Qin Ran with a kind of looking down and scrutinizing, and did not mind the difference in gender at all.

"I wasn't told that I should be dressed properly when I was soaking in the hot springs."

Qin Ran emphasized.

At the same time, his eyes looked at the woman in front of him.

With a good appearance and figure, a long white and blonde hair draped down, exuding a different kind of brilliance in the mist, of course, what caught Qin Ran's attention the most was the opponent's weapon.

A long, narrow sheathed sword.

Just by looking at it slightly, Qin Ran's ears seemed to sound the wailing of the undead and the judgment of the spirit.

Powerful weapons!

Whether it was the long sword itself, or the phenomenon caused by the killing, it was enough to make Qin Ran care.

Especially when this long sword was held in the hands of a person full of threats, Qin Ran, who seemed to be relaxed, was already on full guard.

Be prepared to fight back at any time if anything changes.

"Good!"

"Finally, a guy who is still qualified has appeared!"

The other party seemed to be aware of Qin Ran's vigilance.

However, the other party was not angry.

On the contrary, he nodded appreciatively.

Finally?

Qin Ran was stunned.

As far as he knew, there had been no substitution of the 'Twenty Hounds' in recent years.

So, where did this 'final' come about?

Subconsciously, Qin Ran thought of the abnormal performance of Joffini, the observer of the 'Council of Elders', and the time when the 'high-level inviter' appeared in front of him.

In fact, after returning to Oken Manor from Utah State University, Qin Ran was ready to 'greet' the other party.

However, the other party's speed greatly exceeded Qin Ran's expectations.

In Qin Ran's original estimate, the other party would appear in front of him soon, but for more than a month, the other party did not make any movement.

Until now.

Don't?

Qin Ran, who had several guesses in his heart, looked at each other with a smile on his face.

"Is it okay to be cautious? Then I have to think more about the idea of joining the 'Council of Elders'! ”

"Or was Harold the test you guys came up with?"

"If it's true, should I praise it, is it worthy of the Council of Elders?"

Qin Ran said slowly, the content of his words was half-true and half-false.

His gaze stared at the other party without a trace.

He wanted to see something on the other person's face to confirm his suspicions.

But it's a pity that the expression of the woman in front of her has not changed at all, and she has maintained a coldness from beginning to end.

"If you want to know more, sign this contract and join the 'Council of Elders', and you'll know everything!"

The other party replied.

The tone was very cold, and there was an extra parchment roll in his hand.

Qin Ran's gaze swept over the contents of the parchment scroll, which was roughly the terms of the 'Council of Elders' and other clauses, and the following were detailed with some rights and obligations as a 'Twenty Hounds'.

After Qin Ran read it carefully, he found that the conditions were very good, and they could even be called generous.

However, even if it was a good condition, Qin Ran would not sign his name.

He already had a plan, but he didn't want to completely trap himself in the 'Council of Elders'.

"Can I not sign it?"

Qin Ran asked.

Boom!

With a clear unsheathed sound, the long sword on the opponent's waist turned into a ray of light, piercing Qin Ran's throat.

But a bandage is even faster!

“Ms!”

Qin Ran let out a low shout, and the [Fist Bandage] burst out like an arrow, and then turned into a spirit snake, quickly winding up.

Not only the opponent's wrist holding the sword, but also the opponent's body.

Sensing the position of the [Fist Bandage] wrapping, the other party's face became more and more cold.

The stabbing sword was violently withdrawn, slicing towards the [Fist Bandage].

She was sure that her sword could easily cut through the rotten strip of cloth, as well as ...... The owner of this rotten strip of cloth.

But just as Jian Feng was about to touch the [Fist Bandage], the woman in front of him suddenly stopped moving.

Because, an aura that was several times sharper than the blade in her hand was aimed at her directly!

The 'Power of Dawn' on Qin Ran's right hand was wrapped like a substance, and although the palm of his hand was not raised, the 'Power of Dawn' was also ready to go.

But she believed that as long as she made a slight move, Qin Ran would give her a devastating blow.

So, she stopped.

Despite her reputation as a 'Twenty Hounds', she didn't want to die here, especially if it was an easy mission.

Click!

The long, narrow sword was put away.

With the sound of the hilt colliding with the scabbard, the [Fist Bandage] flew back to Qin Ran's hand again, and the condensed 'power of the dawn' gradually dissipated.

When the charge was less than 3 seconds, the dissipation of the [Sword of Dawn] was still very easy for Qin Ran.

Qin Ran soaked back in the hot spring again, looking at each other with a smile on his face.

"Do you know what happens if you do this?"

As if he was unconvinced, the other party asked in a cold voice.

"Yes!"

"So, I stopped, or do you think you can dodge the previous blow?"

Qin Ran smiled and nodded.

In the face of the facts, the other party did not refute it.

Unexpectedly, she really couldn't dodge.

"I have no ill will towards the Council of Elders, and even if I don't want to join it, it's only because my memory is in trouble - I need to find the memories I've lost, and I'll give you a clear answer when the time comes."

Qin Ran said so.

"Do you think the 'Council of Elders' is a businessman?"

"Will give you bargaining power?"

There was sarcasm in the other party's cold voice.

"I think everything is negotiable, as long as the price is enough!"

"What do you think of the previous fight between me and Haroldt?"

Qin Ran asked, but without waiting for the other party to answer, he sped up his speech again, and said to himself: "Of course, I mean Haroldt's power - that kind of power should not be something that the people of 'Griven' can grasp, and what is even more interesting is that after Harold did everything possible to form 'Grevin', he suddenly let go, and even killed Mikou for some books that recorded myths and legends that were known to the public...... What do you think is going on in it? ”

"You mean?"

There was surprise on his face full of ice.

She had witnessed the previous battle with her own eyes, and although she was surprised by Haroldt's strength, she didn't think deeply because the target was Qin Ran.

Now, when Qin Ran brought it up again, she immediately noticed the difference.

The power of the mysterious side is strange, but there are traces to follow.

When combined with flames, lava, brimstone, etc., it is possible to point to only one place.

The thought of that place made the breath of one of the 'Twenty Hounds' with a frosty face become rapid.

"I didn't say anything, it's just your guess!"

"In the same way, it's also my 'life money' - is the 'Council of Elders' willing to give me some time to find my memories?"

Qin Ran stretched out his hands, looked at the other party and asked.

"You better make sure you're telling the truth!"

After the other party finished speaking, he quickly disappeared in the secret and mist again.

Look at the place where the other person disappeared.

Qin Ran narrowed his eyes.

"Step 1, done!"

He said secretly in his heart.

Then, listening to the footsteps outside, he immediately picked up the clothes on the side and quickly put them on.

The [Sword of Dawn] didn't strike, but the momentum it caused was enough for people outside to notice that something was wrong, and he didn't have any special fetishes.

Violent. Dew. One time is enough.

Second?

He's not sensitive.
