The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 886: Visitors

If Mimosa was at a loss before, then when he found out that Kieran was not around, he became completely confused.

Especially when he saw the city guards actually wielding their swords and starting to suppress the panicked crowd because the temple priest was assassinated in the street, Mimosa could only lean against the wall and tremble.

Fortunately, Qin Ran soon appeared before his eyes.

"follow me!"

Seeing Mimosa's timid look, Qin Ran secretly frowned, took the prisoner in his hand, and walked towards the shadow beside him.

Mimosa followed closely.

Although it was only a few seconds just now, it was as long as a century for Mimosa, and he didn't want to be separated from Qin Ran at all.

After successfully returning to the 'Power Stables', Kieran handed over the captives in his hands to Melzer and Pirk who had returned one step earlier, and instructed: "Take him and the other two back to Melzer's In the hidden stronghold, unless I find you, don't show up!"

"Yes, sir!"

Although Melzer and Pierke were puzzled, they would not refute, and immediately obeyed orders respectfully.

"Who is that person?"

Back in the hotel, Mimosa finally calmed down from the panic. He pointed to the kidnapped prisoner and looked at Qin Ran.

"Um."

Qin Ran nodded.

Although Mimosa hadn't finished speaking, Kieran already understood what the other party meant.

This captive was the assassin who mixed in the crowd and attacked the priest of the Temple of Thorns before.

Has considerable skills and skills, no less than ordinary senior players.

However, compared with Qin Ran, it is not enough.

Kieran subdued and knocked him out after a single encounter.

If it wasn't for getting more useful information from the other party, Kieran wouldn't even give the other party a chance to make a move.

"What happened before?"

"Shouldn't it be to frame the four of Melzer?"

"Why did the explosion occur?"

"And that priest..."

"I always feel that all this is to lure that priest to appear."

Mimosa asked questions again and again like a curious baby, and at the same time expressed her guess.

"Not only are we eyeing the two people who actually stole the 'Holy Grail of Thorns', but the other party is also eyeing them!"

"Besides, one of them may have already known this, that's why today's scene happened!"

Qin Ran answered.

"One of them already knew it, so why did he still..."

Mimosa stopped talking before she finished her words.

Because, he guessed why the other party did this.

Kill and silence!

"Then, the priest who was assassinated?"

Mimosa looked at Kieran with stammering words.

"The thief will definitely be happy to kill the people who block his path and replace them."

"Even from the very beginning, this was the thief's real plan. His companions and Melzer were just pawns."

"He is the only one who will profit in the end!"

Qin Ran narrowed his eyes and said.

"Then, who is the party that suddenly appeared?"

There is still something I don’t understand about Mimosa.

"Those people may be the ones who discovered some secrets of the thief."

"It's also possible that the thief hired another group of people."

"But which one exactly, how do I know?"

"I am not omniscient and omnipotent, I am just inferring as much as possible based on the clues I have!"

Kieran said and rolled his eyes.

Mimosa, who was used to relying on others, felt embarrassed.

However, there was no anger.

To put it simply, with Mimosa's courage, being angry is almost a luxury.

But Kieran didn't let this embarrassment last.

"Put away all the things on you that are not in line with your identity, and then, acting like a servant, go and bring me some food to the hotel cook."

He ordered mimosas.

"Okay, okay."

Mimosa nodded and walked out instinctively following the order.

He was a little confused about Kieran's order.

But he tried his best to meet Kieran's request.

The 'Storage Stable' is not a famous store, and the price of accommodation is very cheap, so you can imagine the food prepared.

The purpose of mimosa is not these finished foods, but the raw food ingredients.

After paying three copper coins, the cook happily lent the kitchen to Mimosa, and then stared at Mimosa's performance in amazement.

Yes, it's a performance.

Mimosa, which elevates [cooking skills] to an unparalleled level, has a different aura when you hold the kitchen knife.

A small white flower appeared in front of the cook's eyes as if she were hallucinating.

The cook couldn't help but rub her eyes, and what she saw was Mimosa who was still focused on cooking.

Nothing else was seen.

"Dazzled?"

The cook murmured and walked out of the kitchen.

The cook, who has received three copper coins and has completed today's work, is not willing to stay here for a long time. She wants to take a good rest.

Therefore, the cook didn't see the mimosa turning decay into magic: ordinary ingredients turned into delicacies, and the tempting aroma filled the whole kitchen.

If the kitchen was not located independently outside the hotel, it would have already attracted all the guests at this time.

This is a level that is absolutely impossible to achieve at the unparalleled level.

Standing in the shadows aside, Qin Ran witnessed the entire process.

Then, he returned to the room thoughtfully.

When Mimosa returned to the room with the dinner plate, Kieran was sitting on the sofa, seemingly motionless.

"good."

Although he had smelled it just now, Kieran still twitched his nose and praised it at this time.

"I'm just good at these things."

Faced with such praise, Mimosa seemed very uncomfortable and said a little shyly.

While talking, Mimosa lifted the lid.

Grilled steak, oxtail blanched, green salad and cornbread.

It seems ordinary, but in the kitchen just now, there was no whole piece of beef, only some scraps.

"I couldn't find a whole piece of beef, so I had to use mashed potatoes and beef trimmings to make a steak."

Mimosa explained.

Qin Ran couldn't wait to pick up the whole steak and stuff it into his mouth.

"The mashed potatoes are fried first, changing the original soft and brittle appearance, and then beef trimmings are filled into them, and the whole thing is smeared with butter to imitate the taste of real beef, which is very good."

"Well, it also contains oxtail soup?"

Kieran chewed and soon discovered the difference.

"Well, because it needs to be fried twice, the juiciness will make the steak look fresh and tender."

Mimosa nodded immediately, a smile appeared on her face.

Mimosa was sincerely happy that Kieran could taste the difference in 'steak'.

Similarly, Kieran was also happy to be able to taste such 'steak'.

Almost gobbling it up, Kieran quickly swept away the food.

When Mimosa was cleaning the tableware and carrying it to the kitchen, Kieran looked towards the back room.

"Sir, if you don't want to fail, I suggest you come out and talk to me."

Qin Ran said in a calm tone.
