The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 360 Order

Scaffolding.

An essential item when boiling an eagle.

However, after the eagle is successfully boiled, it will also become the place where the falcon will stay.

Some eagle boilers with special skills even make the falcons develop the habit of eating only on the scaffold.

It is not surprising that nobles have a scaffold.

In fact, only nobles can afford all the consumption required to boil the eagle.

However, it is intriguing to travel outside, and Skynay, who is obviously on a special mission, is carrying a scaffold.

The other party is obviously not a worthless dude, so he naturally knows the priorities of the matter.

Therefore, there is only one possibility for the appearance of this scaffold.

"A falcon for communication?"

Qin Ran was talking to himself.

Then, start rummaging through the room.

If you use Falcon communication, you must have a special note book.

But there is neither Sige Nai nor the study just now, so it can only be here.

When Qin Ran picked up the pillow on the bed, a palm-sized notebook appeared in his sight.

Picking up the notebook made of kraft paper, Kieran took out a pencil from his backpack and quickly scribbled on it.

After a while, some handwriting appeared in front of Qin Ran——

There is no target in the convoy, and it has headed for Fort Swart.

There is no beginning, end of the street, and no signed words, but it is enough for Kieran to guess more.

After all, the goals related to Skynay are really easy to guess.

Imperial envoy!

Except for the imperial envoy, there was no one else.

However, it seemed that the imperial envoy was not stupid. He left the convoy alone and rushed towards Fort Swart with a secret order, leaving only the convoy to attract people's attention.

"etc!"

Qin Ran suddenly thought of something, he checked the room again, and after confirming that there was nothing missing, he quickly left the house and returned to the temporary camp.

Of course, Qin Ran did not forget Mary's request for help.

Taking advantage of the moment the guard on the sentry tower turned around, Kieran took the two corpses off the pole, held them in his hands and disappeared into the shadows.

...

"They are Harvey and Poole?"

Mary frowned as she looked at the two corpses with bloody faces.

After seeing the two bodies, the girl was not satisfied.

Because, the two corpses whose faces were completely destroyed made it impossible for her to realize the idea in her heart.

"Um."

"Outside the town, I only found these two corpses!"

"That's right, and this!"

As he spoke, Qin Ran handed the girl the letter written by Mary's mother to the two of them.

Qin Ran could clearly see that Mary's expression became strange again.

However, compared to the doubts before, this time Qin Ran discovered some clues.

Or to be precise, because of what was found in the letters written by Mary's mother "Ellen" to Harvey and Poole.

The word 'confusion' appeared in both letters.

This is definitely not what old friends should say when they meet.

Instead, it should appear among those who are emotionally entangled.

It was obvious what must have happened to the original owner of Swartburg and Harvey, Poole and Andy when they were younger.

Once the hormones of youth collide.

Naturally there will be a different feeling.

However, Harvey and Poole should be losers.

Whether Andy is or not, Qin Ran doesn't know.

But Kieran knew what Mary wanted to do.

Find out who your father is!

There is no trace of the so-called 'father' in Fort Snow, but that doesn't mean Mary doesn't need a father.

But according to Qin Ran's guess, Mary's mother was very jealous of her 'lover' and never mentioned it to Mary.

So that Mary had to take the most stupid way.

See if the other person looks like you.

Along the way, Mary has made this comparison more than once.

Even with him, Mary secretly compared them.

Although Mary thought she was doing it very covertly, she couldn't escape his gaze at all.

"Father?"

Looking at the frowning Mary, Qin Ran shook his head and turned around.

For Qin Ran, who had lost his parents since birth, he was really not good at dealing with such a scene.

Only quietly waiting.

After more than ten minutes, Mary made a sound.

"Thank you, 2567!"

The girl said thanks.

There was a look of regret on his face.

Mary's intuition would be terrifying if she could tell the difference between two unrecognizable corpses and what she looked like.

With such a talent, even compared with a real psychic, it is not much different.

And with the sound of thanks.

The system prompt for the completion of the side mission appears.

[Sub-quest: Help! (Finish)】

"Where did the imperial envoy and your mother agree to meet in Tita Town?"

Qin Ran turned around and asked.

"Just in front of the big tree outside Tita Town..."

"What's wrong?"

Mary looked at Qin Ran suspiciously.

The keen perception allowed the girl to clearly see the thinking in Qin Ran's expression.

"Just thought of a hypothesis!"

"If that imperial envoy had no malice and he had good intentions from the beginning to the end, then...why did he go to the trouble of inviting your mother to the big tree outside Tita Town?"

While speaking, Qin Ran handed the note with traces of pencil smears to Mary.

After Mary took the note, she fell into thinking.

But Qin Ran's words didn't stop.

He continued.

"This imperial envoy knows how to use the convoy to attract the attention of some peepers, so he must know exactly what these people are here for!"

"secret order?"

Mary Road.

"That's right, it's a secret order!"

"Secret order is the goal of these people!"

"Instinctively, everyone will subconsciously think that the secret order is on him, thus ignoring the others!"

"So, this imperial envoy played another little trick - he used himself as a bait to attract the attention of the rest of the people, and then sent someone to quietly put the secret order in a certain place to inform your mother."

As Qin Ran spoke, he looked at the thoughtful girl.

"You mean?"

Mary is not stupid.

In contrast, extremely bright girls think of something right away.

"That secret order should have been placed near the big tree outside Tita Town in advance!"

Qin Ran expressed his guess.

"But my mother..."

Mary wanted to say something, but stopped before finishing her words.

The girl thought of Fort Swart, which had been set on fire before.

I also thought of some of my mother's daily habits.

As a daughter, Mary is undoubtedly one of the people who knows her mother best.

And because of this understanding, she guessed something.

"Can I go with you?"

In order to confirm her guess, Mary asked.

"certainly!"

Qin Ran nodded and walked towards the big tree in sight.

but……

Someone is faster!
