In a corner of the camp, Qin Ran met the Guardian of the Ancient City of Isu once again.
Conti still carried that obviously heavy case on her back. It was as tall as a person, a meter wide, and two fists thick, but her somewhat rugged face was utterly blank.
Before Qin Ran could speak, Conti said impatiently, "The Nightspawn and Otherkind have formed an alliance. Those of us who remain can no longer stay neutral-though I tried, in the end... it was no use!"
Her tone was impatient, and her words were startling.
Not only had she described the crisis, she had also explained why she had broken her promise.
More importantly, everything she said was probably true.
He only needed to send someone to investigate to find out for certain.
In fact, Qin Ran was confident that if he sent a few people to investigate, they would discover something like pursuers assembling.
Clearly, the Otherkind commander Mosok had discovered Sfent and Lian's disappearance, along with their group's departure, and had swiftly responded.
That was why Conti had appeared here.
And she had come with a perfectly reasonable explanation.
But...
Hearing those words spoken with such a blank expression felt incredibly awkward.
Anyone who saw her would have been puzzled.
But as Qin Ran watched Conti, understanding dawned on him: Conti was unwilling to be a puppet.
So, is she warning me?
And to warn me this way...
She must be carrying an item that transmits sound, perhaps even one that transmits images from a certain angle!
As he learned more about the dungeon world before him, Qin Ran never doubted that the Nightspawn or Otherkind possessed such items.
After all, both came from the dynasty that had unified the world fifteen hundred years ago.
No one knew
