After dinner, Banning enthusiastically took the two of them to a hotel with good service and low prices.

After the two entered their respective rooms, Banning slowly left.

Wei'er stood by the window, watching Banning's receding back. Her heart was not at peace, and ripples appeared in her heart.

She had come all this way through so much trouble just to see Ban Ning again.

After meeting Banning, Wei'er once again felt his tenderness and thoughtfulness, and sincerely felt that all the suffering she had endured in the past twenty days was worth it.

·

At the same time, Jiang Ran was also feeling uneasy like Wei'er.

However, his uneasiness was not the kind of throbbing feeling of being in love, but the uneasiness that came from feeling that his life was in danger.

(Ben Ni: Hehehe, what’s supposed to happen is finally here, Jiang Yan!)

(Benni: I’ve been waiting to see this rough drama for a long time, hahahaha!)

The stupid loli's gloating mood reached an unprecedented new height. Obviously, she had forgotten what her mission was to come to this Prison Star World.

Jiang Ran did not refute the stupid loli because what the stupid loli said was indeed true.

Sunny Town has now become a huge Shura field?

It was only a matter of time before Wei'er met Emilia.

However, before worrying about this, Jiang Ran now has something more important to think about, and that is about the companion who traveled with Wei'er, the divination rabbit spirit Navinaison, who lied about being "Nana".

Jiang Ran could understand why the Rabbit People wanted to hide their subhuman identity.

Jiang Ran could understand why a world-renowned fortune-telling rabbit spirit had to hide its real name.

However, Wei'er lied to him and helped the fortune-telling rabbit spirit Navinason to hide her identity, which was a bit beyond Jiang Ran's expectations. However, if Wei'er's feelings for him could gradually fade, it would be a good thing for Jiang Ran.

Getting back to the topic, what Jiang Ran needs to think about now are those two sentences about the inner thoughts of the divination rabbit spirit Nevinasen.

——"So you are Banning..."

——"You can't judge a person by his appearance. I really didn't realize you have the ability to predict and change the future."

Although he didn't know how the fortune-telling rabbit spirit Navinason knew his ability, Jiang Ran didn't like his secrets being known by others.

Jiang Ran must meet the fortune-telling rabbit spirit tonight.

5.24 - Day of Trial (Part )

━━━━━━━━━━

October 187, 6

6:08 AM

[Advanced Trial Challenge remaining: 0 days]

[Confession death countdown remaining: 23 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

Jiang Ran woke up today and only gained 500 points of magic power before stopping.

If he used up too much magic power, he would have to sleep longer in the afternoon to make up for it, which would affect his plans to challenge the trial.

The long-planned trial trip must be carried out in full condition to avoid regrets.

Jiang Ran walked to the window and looked at the task union opposite the hotel. He felt a little guilty for not telling Emilia that he was going to challenge the trial today.

Jiang Ran didn't say anything because it was the end of the month and the financial settlement of the task union would keep Emilia very busy, which was why she didn't come to the hotel this morning.

The second reason is for Emilia's safety. Today, the control area of ​​the Trial Gate in the western suburbs of Sunny Town is destined to be turbulent under Jiang Ran's layers of strategic planning.

·

Since the actual situation was slightly different from what was expected, Jiang Ran went out to buy some materials and made a new batch of smoke bombs, bringing the number he carried to 20.

Afterwards, as agreed, Jiang Ran came to the jewelry store and asked the elderly jewelry designer whether he had completed the first version of the trial work.

"Sorry, handsome boy, I tried my best, but it didn't work out."

The old master handed over a pair of binoculars that looked like they were made in good condition. Jiang Ran took them and tried to look out the window a few times. The images he saw were blurry, as if they were mosaics.

(Emm… there are indeed a lot of questions…)

Although Jiang Ran was not a professional craftsman, he could see where the problem lay.

The biggest problem with this prototype telescope is that the two pieces of glass used as lenses are not pure enough. It is estimated that too many impurities were mixed in during the sintering process, affecting the imaging effect.

Secondly, due to reasons of material and temperature control, the final burned lens has some color, resulting in image distortion.

Finally, there is the issue of the accuracy of the entire set of accessories. Whether it is the distance between the lenses or the polished curvature of the lens itself as a convex lens, there is a significant error compared to the design drawing, so the final image you see will be blurry.

If there was still time, Jiang Ran could help the master with improvements, but unfortunately, Jiang Ran would use the telescope today.

"It's already fine. You can rest for two days. I'll come to see you later."

·

Although the effect of the telescope prototype was not as good as expected, it was still barely usable. Jiang Ran was now in a situation where "having it was better than having nothing".

After leaving the jewelry store, Jiang Ran happened to meet Grandma Cassie on the way back to the hotel.

The two smiled at each other from a distance and just greeted each other without much conversation.

They had said everything they needed to say last night.

All that remains is to do one’s best and leave the rest to fate.

Not long after, Jiang Ran returned to the hotel. He now had one last thing to do before challenging the trial:

Use the power of the super-dimensional divine eye to foresee your future death scene.

·

Jiang Ran has kept the confession points he obtained from Emilia a few days ago until now.

[Note: The above image is from "4.52 - Preparing for War"]

What he wanted was to wait until everything was ready and then see how his next death would be.

As he used his ability, Jiang Ran saw the scene of his own death.

这一次,他的死亡时间是『187年6月27日晚上11点17分』,也就是今天晚上,距离现在大约还有11个小时。

Judging from the picture environment, the place of death seems to be near the southern suburbs of Sunny Town.

In the picture, Jiang Ran only saw himself and a man who seemed somewhat familiar, no one else.

In the picture, Jiang Ran was holding the black sword Flame Horse, as if he was about to swing forward, but he suddenly covered his chest and bled profusely.

Jiang Ran couldn't tell the cause of his injury, but he could conclude that the fatal wound that caused his death was probably the blow to his heart.

Jiang Ran then looked at the man in the death screen, only to see him piercing his own chest with a sword. His expression showed both unwillingness and a hint of pleasure in dying together with the enemy.

·

For some reason or purpose, the man chose to commit suicide during the battle with Jiang Ran.

·

(He committed suicide by stabbing his own heart... and I suffered a strange injury to my heart...)

Combining the information in the picture, Jiang Ran quickly deduced that the cause of his death this time was because the man used skills such as shared damage and killed him as well.

Jiang Ran felt that he might be vulnerable to such a sinister and hidden skill, but this also led him to speculate on two necessary prerequisites:

First, this battle was most likely an encounter, so Jiang Ran had no chance to investigate the man's abilities beforehand;

Second, this man is the type who is ruthless and taciturn, otherwise Jiang Ran should have had the opportunity to know his skills in advance through mind reading;

In any case, it is an indisputable fact that this man cannot beat Jiang Ran, otherwise he would not have resorted to such a desperate measure and dragged Jiang Ran to death with him.

Now that Jiang Ran knows his trump card in advance, he will not give him the chance to use it.

Then, Jiang Ran carefully observed the details on the man's body. He first noticed that there was a hole in the man's side abdomen. It seemed that the man was seriously injured by this blow and decided to commit suicide by dragging Jiang Ran into the water.

In addition, Jiang Ran also noticed that the man's red cloak with a black background was clearly printed with a blazing totem and a flaming horse emblem. Isn't this the emblem of the Feiqi family?

—(Someone from the Scarlet Qi family? Wait… I think I remember.)

The man with the long sword, dark leather armor, and black cloak with red emblems was the one who had "killed" Jiang Ran once in Gude Town!

Jiang Ran still remembers the future death scene he saw clearly. The man ruthlessly stabbed Jiang Ran from behind and stole the pigeon blood red stone.

(Strange, I have already hidden the pigeon blood red stone, why did this person want to kill me?)

(The matter of pigeon blood red stone should not be known to others.)

Jiang Ran thought for a while, but still couldn't guess what this person's motive was for killing him. However, this was not a big problem. As long as he knew the other party's trump card, he would have a way to deal with it when they met next time.

What Jiang Ran really wanted to confirm this time with his ability to predict death was whether he would die if he acted according to his own ideas, and at which stage he would die.

Jiang Ran is now sure that there is nothing wrong with his plan, and he can boldly try out the career advancement trial in the afternoon.

·

After lunch, Jiang Ran, who had a strong mental state, had a good sleep first, and then rode his scooter to the Trial Gate control area in the western suburbs of Sunny Town.

From a distance, before he even saw the light and shadow of the Trial Gate, Jiang Ran realized something was wrong.

On the road leading to the controlled area, there were a large number of scattered horse hoof prints, and it looked like there were about ten people riding horses.

The reward hunters of the quest guild would not travel on horseback in groups like this.

(Mayor Gillian took the bait... He actually sent so many people here.)

[img=675,1200]https://rss.sfacg.com/web/novel/images/UploadPic/2022/11/c3075da4-7fb1-4b5f-a3ed-b926e6da323a.jpg[/img]

5.25 - Never Make the Same Mistake (Part )

Jiang Ran picked up the telescope and looked into the woods ahead, vaguely seeing a number of human figures.

It seems that Mayor Gillian has chosen the high-risk, high-return option. Regardless of whether it is a trap or not, he will send someone to the scene to take a look first.

In this way, Jiang Ran achieved his goal of temporarily diverting the mayor's attention from the task union.

Next, whether the situation can develop according to Jiang Ran’s expectations depends entirely on his own ability.

·

Due to the limited clarity of the telescope, Jiang Ran continued to move forward about fifty meters towards the woods.

Maybe it was because he overused his eyes, but when he picked up the telescope again, his right eye twitched with pain. Fortunately, the pain soon subsided.

Now Jiang Ran could see four glowing cubes sparsely distributed in the woods. They should be the so-called "Gate of Trial".

Logically, there should be staff from the Quest Guild supervising the area around the "Trial Gate", but now, there is no one in the woods.

Combining the horseshoe prints and human figures he had just seen, Jiang Ran estimated that the people from the mayor's faction had already cleared the area in advance.

At this moment, the mayor's men were lying in ambush in the woods, waiting for the so-called "black archers" to appear. But unfortunately, even if the idea was right, it would be useless if the execution was not in place.

In Jiang Ran's opinion, the rabble the mayor had brought in were too low-level and didn't know how to truly hide themselves in the woods.

In addition, as a hunter, Jiang Ran now has rich experience in the wild (not the kind you think), and he can even find wild animals hidden with protective colors, let alone these temporary outsiders.

Therefore, Jiang Ran would not fall into their ambush at all and could escape now.

However, Jiang Ran knew that there was a tiger in the mountain, but he still went there.

He wanted to rush into the trial gate in front of these people so that he could keep them here and ensure the safety of the mission union.

(white...orange...)

Before the formal charge, Jiang Ran first used a telescope to confirm the location distribution of the trial gates in the woods.
