The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 219

228. Unexpected person in Chapter 219

From Merck Castle to the woods, and to take the necessary rest time, Qin Ran spent about three to four hours.

But returning from here to Merck Castle again, Qin Ran spent a daytime.

The speed of removing the two legs is more than four legs, and more because Qin is careful to dodge the patrols he may encounter.

Compared with the situation at the time, the situation in front of us makes these patrols even more dangerous.

Qin Ran did not have any interest in the face of the other party.

When the sky was completely dark, Qin Ran came to the vicinity of Merck Castle.

He looked at Merck Castle in the darkness.

The ignition light illuminates a very limited part, most of which are unclear and black lacquered.

Only when the fire moves past, the hard gray walls will be revealed.

The air that comes with the wind also gives off a faint bloody taste.

It seems to be telling the fierce battle that took place here a day ago.

The castle under that night, at the moment of Qin Ran, is more like a monster that has swallowed countless flesh and blood, and is quietly waiting for the next big meal.

Qin Ran quietly came to a hidden position and stopped.

He is ready to rest for an hour or two before continuing on the road.

As for entering Merck Castle?

From beginning to end, Qin Ran did not have such an idea.

Although there was a rebellion in Merck Castle and the guards were greatly reduced, the remaining guards were only more alert in the face of sorrow and anger.

Under such circumstances, it is not a good idea to sneak into it.

What's more, the only exit bridge of the castle, this time has been re-lifted, Qin Ran wants to enter, you can only choose to climb from the cliff side of the castle's inner court.

Thinking about the cliff's almost straight steepness and his own lack of corresponding skills, Qin Ran wisely gave up this plan.

In the darkness, Qin Ran leaned on the trunk of a dead tree, prolonged his breathing, and his eyes picked up slightly, as if he had fallen into a falsehood.

But in fact, Qin Ran did not mean to relax the vigilance.

The more dangerous the place, the safer it is.

This sentence, Qin Ran will not oppose.

In the same way, he will not object to the phrase "the more dangerous, the more vigilant."

Therefore, when a slight footstep passed to Qin Ran's ear, Qin Ran immediately turned and hid in the shadow behind the dead tree.

The unparalleled level of [sneak] makes him instantly blend into the shadows.

And the footsteps are getting closer and closer.

About half a minute later, a figure appeared in Qin Ran's field of vision.

By the glimmer of the moon at night, Qin Ran clearly saw the other party's familiar face and immediately recognized the identity of the other party.

Graton!

The knight of Merck, the governor of the western region of the entire Principality!

What makes Qin Ran still fresh is the keen observation of the other side.

Subconsciously, Qin Ran held his breath and prepared for attack at any time.

If the other party really searches carefully, he is not sure to avoid the keen search.

However, what Qin expected was that the arm was injured, the bandage was tied, and Gratton hung around the neck before and after walking to the dead tree. When he removed it, he looked up from time to time, just standing back against Qin Ran.

Gratton seems to have no idea of checking around.

With the impression of Qin Ran, the other side's cautiousness and sensitivity are not at all.

What happened?

"The other party not only left the Merck Castle that had just experienced a rebellion at night, but also waited for someone to wait here?"

"Who is it that allows him to do this?"

Qin Ran secretly asked.

The abnormal performance of Gratton made Qin Ren’s heart full of curiosity.

He stood still on the side and waited silently.

This wait did not last long.

In about five or six minutes, a black shadow appeared on the way to Glaton.

The shadow of this black shadow is secret, and the whole body is wrapped in the cloak, and the face is completely covered by the hood.

The chin that should have been exposed was also covered by a face towel.

The other party appeared silently, and if it wasn’t for Qin Ran’s full attention, it would not find each other.

In order not to be discovered by the other party, Qin Ran immediately looked at each other and Gratton with the corner of his eye.

"Sure enough, you!"

“Why are you doing this?”

"You can't go on wrong anymore!"

"Tell me, what happened?"

"You are not the one who will do such a crazy thing, must someone force you?"

Right?

After Gratton saw the black shadow, the emotions immediately became very excited, and in a nearly incoherent gesture, a burst of questioning sounded.

In the face of Gratton’s questioning, the black shadow is silent.

It seems that my heart is flawed.

Gratton seemed to feel the shackles of the shadows. He grabbed the black shadow arm and wanted to persuade again.

However, the next moment…

brush.

A smudge of the sword light passed over Gratton's throat.

Gratton fell to his throat with an incredible look.

At the moment of death, the knight of Merck’s grand prince, the chief of the western region of the entire Principality, has widened his eyes.

Obviously, Gratton did not believe that the other party would kill him.

"Sorry, Gratton!"

I…Can't look back! ”

The shadow of the black shadow echoed in front of the dead tree.

The other person leaned down and closed Gradton's eyes. Then, after carefully examining Gratton's body, he quickly left.

Qin Ran, standing in the shadow behind the dead tree, did not move.

At the bottom of my heart, there was a storm.

Because, from the name and attitude of Gratton, Qin Ran has already guessed who the shadow is.

But just because he guessed who the other person was, Qin Ran became more and more likely to be the other party.

It is impossible to do this in the identity of the other party.

At this time, Qin Ran fully understood the abnormality of Gratton.

Even his outsiders felt incomprehensible, not to mention the Gratton who had been loyal to each other.

What is going on! "

Qin Ran frowned.

However, the footsteps that sounded again made Qin Ran immediately converge.

The shadow went back.

Also, start a careful inspection around.

"This is not good!"

Qin Ran exclaimed.

The other party is obviously thinking of the emotional Gratton, perhaps not carefully examined around, in order to be safe, this time once again returned to check around.

Qin Ran lamented the other's caution.

At the same time, the whole person is ready to go.

He discovered the biggest secret of the other party, and the two sides certainly cannot live in peace.

Fighting after being discovered.

It is better to take the initiative!

After checking most of the surrounding areas, the shadows looked at the dead trees.

Then, step by step.

Near!

Closer!

Qin Ran silently calculated his best attack distance.

But when the other party is about to enter his best attack distance, the other party suddenly stops.

I was found
