Chapter 40: The Undercurrent Surges

The places marked on the map are no strangers to Qin Ran.

Because, that's pretty much where he had last seen Kars.

Thinking of the guy who returned to his room and was still killed, Qin Ran frowned, he knew very well that the current silence was just the calm before the storm.

Storms can come at any time.

And he?

We need to gather more strength before the storm comes.

Thinking of this, Qin Ran didn't stay long, and went straight to the train and headed to the outer city of the huge city.

……

In the dark room, the five people were still gathered around the table.

"The latest news, 2567 went to the outer city to find the 'swordsmith' Eislid."

A man said slowly.

"It's an opportunity."

The person on the other side said in a deep voice.

"Opportunity?"

"The last time you sent someone to test it, you also said it was an opportunity."

"But what about the result?"

"None of the several subordinates I have carefully cultivated have returned, and they have died unknown!"

The person on one side snorted coldly.

"At least their deaths are worth it."

"We know there's still some guys hiding around."

The man in the corner said lightly.

"The reason why you can say such words calmly is because it is not your person who died!"

The person who snorted coldly before said angrily.

"The dead are already dead."

"What we need to face is the present."

"The four of us will come up with the corresponding compensation for you, and then ......"

"What should I do this time?"

The one who spoke first was obviously the head of the five, and no one objected to what he said, just as at this moment, when he looked at the person who had not spoken all along, the eyes of the other three also fell on the person who seemed to be one with the shadow.

"Wait and see."

"Neither Dawn Sword 2567 nor Swordsmith Acelid are fools, what do you think will happen if we do provoke their fight?"

"More than 80 percent will be besieged by two people."

"Are you ready to go to war with the two of them?"

The man who became one with the shadow asked.

With such a question, all four people present fell silent.

The answer is obvious.

They don't.

Because, what they need to face is not only the two powerful rankers, but also those guys behind the two.

Think of the 'Lone Wanderers' in the Harvest Tavern, right?

One by one seems to be alone, but if one of them is provoked, especially under the premise that the relationship and lawlessness are extremely good, it is definitely a group of people.

Not to mention the tavern hostess.

What the other party represents has long been beyond the imagination of ordinary players.

As for 'Swordsmith' Easlid?

The skills mastered by the other party have long been destined to have a large group of people willing to cooperate with each other.

A legendary-level long sword is enough for the Rankers to join the opponent's side and serve the opponent.

"So what do we do?"

"That 'broker' guy finally miscalculated, we can't just sit here and do nothing, right?"

The slightly grumpy one broke the silence.

"Of course not."

"But we're going to make a change!"

"Didn't you notice that our eyes were too much on 2567 before!"

"I guess the bastard who was the 'broker' is smiling from ear to ear now."

The voice of the man in the shadows remained unchanged, and he said in a meticulous tone.

"2567 is in league with the 'brokers'?"

The slightly short-tempered man said subconsciously, but as soon as he spoke, he found that the remaining four people were looking at him with idiot eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm just talking about one possibility."

"Isn't that possible?"

Although the short-tempered one knew that he was wrong, he had absolutely no idea of wanting to change his words, and began to mess around.

However, everyone here knows the other party's character, and no one pays attention to him at all.

"What are we going to do now?"

The man in the corner asked.

"'Guardian'!"

"From beginning to end, the target of the 'broker' is the 'Guardian', or the 'Witch's Legacy', 2567, the killer player is nothing more than a smoke bomb he releases."

"I'm afraid that guy has moved by now."

Said the man in the shadows.

"Then we're going to hurry."

The leader's tone sank.

No one wants to be one step behind.

One step behind, one step behind.

Everyone here knows that.

Especially when the leader is a 'broker', it is even more unsettling.

"Don't rush."

"The broker has its own way."

"We have our own way, too."

"We can't rush after the 'broker', it will only get us into his rhythm and be led by the nose, just like the previous times."

Said the man in the shadows.

"What do you mean?"

All four looked at the man in the shadows at the same time.

"With our rhythm, we disrupted the rhythm of the 'broker'."

"Then, let him into our rhythm."

A chuckle came from the shadows.

……

Qin Ran stood on the edge of the huge city, looking at the vague marginal place in the distance.

It's not just darkness, there's a kind of turbidity, like chaos, where a steady stream of robots is building.

Brand new streets, brand new houses.

"It's about to become a normal neighborhood."

"The new outer city is going to expand outwards again."

Qin Ran looked at the houses that were quickly rising from the ground in front of him, and thought silently in his heart.

Until now, he didn't know what plan the huge city was developing.

Population?

There are a lot of players in the huge city, but to fill the whole huge city is a joke.

In fact, most of the streets of the huge city have only a handful of players.

Only some gang gathering points and shop gathering points will be crowded.

Under such a premise, it is clear that population is not the first.

And apart from this, Qin Ran really couldn't think of any other possibility.

In this regard, Qin Ran had nothing to be annoyed about.

He knows what he's good at and what he's not good at.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to the 'swordsmith' Easley.

Bang Bang Bang!

The dense sound of tapping guided Qin Ran's direction.

When he turned around a half-finished building, Qin Ran saw a tall man wielding a sledgehammer.

The other party is striking a piece of iron with a sledgehammer.

That piece of iron, in the knock of the other party, turned into a sword at a speed visible to the naked eye, a long sword with cold light.

However, Qin Ran's gaze did not stop at this sword.

But......

looked at the sledgehammer in the tall man's hand.

In Qin Ran's perception, this sledgehammer seemed to have become heavier and sharper.

That's right!

It's sharp!

A blunt instrument with a sharp feel.

This weird feeling made Qin Ran frown.

But immediately, Qin Ran's eyes narrowed.
