Chapter 19: Gestures
The palm-sized crystal-shaped [Lord of Mist] lay quietly in Qin Ran's hands, and the turbidity in it dissipated slightly, with a somewhat clear feeling, but very little.
The changes in appearance are subtle and require careful observation.
The change in attributes, however, is obvious.
[Name: Lord of the Mist]
[Type: Sundries]
【Quality:I.】
[Attack: None]
[Defense: I.]
[Attributes: 1, fog control; 2. Poisonous fog invasion; 3. Frozen gas invasion]
[Special effects: 1, Sika's Domain; 2. Response; 3. Blessings】
[Requirements: Spirit I., 'Mist' Honorific Title]
[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]
[Note: During the Black Plague, the unexpectedly born item, different from the rough use of the predecessor, it gradually showed its due ability in your hands, a perfect 'hunt', so that it began to be completely controlled by you, but when using, you still need to have strong mental power, as well as willpower, and the corresponding honorific title]
……
[Fog Control: Summons a fog with a radius of 200 meters, enveloping the position in the field of vision; 2 times/day】
[Poisonous Mist Invasion: In the mist, the spread of the poisonous mist judged to be B+ level requires three judgments, the loser of the three judgments will receive fatal toxin damage, the loser of the two times will suffer a powerful level of toxin attack, the loser will suffer a stronger level of toxin attack, and those who pass the three judgments will be protected from the attack of the poisonous mist, but they are still in the fog]
[Frozen Air Invasion: In the fog, you can launch a weak, normal-level frozen gas attack, and the frozen air cannot leave the fog range]
……
[Sika Domain: Within the scope of Sika Collar, the name of 'Mist' has been recognized, and you who hold the 'Lord of Mist' can mobilize the mist that appears in Sika Collar at will, and add poisonous mist and freezing gas (not exceeding the scope of poisonous fog and freezing air), but it will consume your physical strength depending on the situation. 】
[Response: You have been regarded as the 'God of the Mist', you can simply respond to the prayers of the believers with the help of the 'Lord of the Mist', which will drain your stamina]
[Blessing: In the Sika Collar, when your followers pray to you, you can expend your stamina and give a Misty Blessing (Misty Blessing: Clearly visible in the fog, and able to resist toxins and cold)]
……
The original properties have grown to varying degrees.
And the new attribute [Frozen Air Invasion] is undoubtedly because he killed the 'Remnant Cold'.
"Hunting?"
Qin Ran looked at the conspicuous hint in the remarks, and his eyes couldn't help narrowing.
He began to wonder if that was the reason the 'brokers' wanted to get in.
The dungeon world in front of you is distinctly different from the other dungeon worlds.
You only need to master some special items, and you can get the most direct power through the most direct 'hunting', and at the same time, you can also get support.
Qin Ran's gaze looked at the newly appeared special effect [Blessing].
He could well imagine what the [blessing] would be like with the [response]: it seemed that it was not impossible to become a 'god'.
It only takes a little manipulation to achieve it perfectly.
Moreover, with the expansion of power, the special effect [Sika's Domain] will inevitably become larger.
"Is that what you're trying to do here?"
"Or ......"
"One of your purposes?"
Qin Ran groaned.
When it comes to 'brokers', this kind of opponent can't be too careful.
He didn't want to fall short because of a moment of carelessness.
Therefore, after sending some information to the upper demon, he put away the [Lord of Mist] and walked out of the room, walking towards the lobby of the Yanan Inn.
There are some things that he needs to confirm with Bol again.
As for Bol lingering in front of his door before?
Qin Ran didn't care.
It didn't really bother him.
In the lobby of the hotel, everyone was talking about what had just happened.
The honorific title of 'Mist' is constantly being raised.
Some people have doubts.
Some were in high spirits.
Others just join in the fun.
Those who are full of doubts can see that they are all believers in the god of war.
Interested, there are some pan-believers.
Those who join in the fun, but they are idle and bored, and there is no shortage of such people anywhere.
And Qin Ran, who walked in, did not interrupt these people's discussions, as if they would never know that the 'gods' they were talking about were walking by.
"Good morning, Colin."
"Need something?"
"I'm in for a treat."
When Qin Ran went straight to the opposite side of Pol, Pol subconsciously spoke, but before the words came out, the businessman, who was not financially rich, immediately reacted to what he had said.
What if the 'Flame Demon' in front of him has an appetite and eats the food from the Yanan Hotel again?
No, it can't be.
He had just eaten breakfast.
Shouldn't be too hungry.
Right!
Not too hungry!
Pol comforted himself from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, as Pol expected, Qin Ran, who had just eaten breakfast, was really not too hungry.
But......
Someone invites guests to dinner, and if they refuse, it is not Qin Ran's style.
So, he turned his head and beckoned to Horuff.
The innkeeper walked over with a smile on his face.
Although the headache just hit him, which made him uncomfortable for a while, he still clearly heard Pol's 'heroic' words just now, as Holuf, who clearly knew Qin Ran's amount of food, really couldn't think of any reason to refuse, after all, this is all Kimpton!
It was only at this time that Horruf felt that Qin Ran was a good guest.
One person can top hundreds of people.
No matter where you are, as long as you pay for it, you are a good guest and you will be welcomed.
"Give me a barbecue for 10 people first."
"And your pickled side dishes."
"I don't need bread, but more chicken cakes."
Qin Ran didn't wait for Horuff to speak, and said directly.
It wasn't too far from the kitchen, and he could smell it well, and the inn lunch was grilled meats, bread and pickled side dishes, including steamed chicken cakes.
"Okay, right away."
Horruf greeted the innkeeper with a smile.
Pol, on the other hand, was calculating the cost of the meal.
Ten servings are certainly nothing.
But the most important thing is the prefix 'first-come'.
In case the barbecue tastes good......
Suddenly, Pol covered his wallet, if Qin Ran continued to eat like this all the way, he felt that he might not be able to reach Etaninburgh, and he would have to find another way out halfway.
Don't worry, I won't eat you all at once.
Qin Ran, who knew how to be diligent and thrifty, said silently in his heart, and then spoke directly.
"Who were you praying to when we met?"
Qin Ran asked.
"I don't know."
"It's the other party who is contacting me."
"When I was in crisis, the words of the other party appeared in the bottom of my heart - the tone was gentle, there seemed to be no malice, and I was told that help was free."
"But I know that the free ones are the most expensive."
Pol shook his head and didn't hide it.
It wasn't the first time Bol had answered, and this time he still didn't have any impatience, he said as meticulously as he could, but he didn't know much.
"Hmm."
Qin Ran nodded and stopped interrogating.
The entry point is Pol.
Through Pol, enter this dungeon world.
Then seize the authority of the 'Mist'.
or some other evil authority.
Then, continue to grow.
Although he had not yet had an in-depth understanding of the evil in the copy world in front of him, the attitude of the 'Withered Branch' and the 'Sleeping Deer' told Qin Ran that the evil here was not friendly, and it was normal to hunt each other.
Sitting there, Qin Ran began to deduce what the 'broker' might do after entering this dungeon world again.
Expect to get the other party's true purpose from it.
Then, naturally, Qin Ran thought of the Temple of the God of War and the Calamity Lady.
Because, according to the possible development of the 'broker', these two, he can't get around them no matter what.
Among them, the lady of calamity who has experienced the 'black plague' and rose is even more worthy of attention.
"What do you know about Lady Calamity?"
Qin Ran asked.
"Trust me, I don't know as much as you do."
"I'm just a merchant who made his fortune on a little cleverness and a little bit of good fortune in Frontier Molsa, and before that, I wasn't doing well."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have sought a more reliable identity for myself."
Pol smiled wryly and spread his hands.
He believed that Qin Ran would be able to understand the meaning of his words.
In other words, every player can understand it.
Before there is absolute strength, the most important thing for players is not to explore the dungeon world, but to conform to the 'identity' you have, Qin Ran has also experienced this process.
Therefore, Qin Ran nodded.
He endorsed Ball's words.
But that doesn't mean he's going to give up.
"Who do you think might know that?"
Qin Ran continued to ask.
Pol did not answer, but looked at Horuff with his eyes.
That couldn't be more obvious.
Similarly, Horruf, who was watching, responded.
Because, Qin Ran and Pol's words did not hide from him, with his ear power, at such a close distance, he really heard it clearly.
Subconsciously, Horuff was going to refuse.
However, the words did not come out, and the innkeeper hesitated.
His 'illness' is getting worse and worse, and it is difficult to say which day he will pass away completely, rather than die in vain, it is better to explain everything clearly.
The innkeeper who had an idea in mind said:
"Eat first."
"After eating, let's talk."
The barbecue was served.
The whole ribs, coarsely salted, were roasted on the flame, cut into pieces, neatly filled with a large plate, green crispy peppers were packed in a small dish as a small ingredient, and were served together, there was no real pepper, cumin and other seasonings, for Sikaling, spices and other things are rare, even if Etandin has a spice garden, but it is close to the south of Etantin, and it is still precious in the north.
Naturally, precious means expensive.
It is not possible to supply it in a regular hotel.
If you want to eat, you have to prepare your own food, or go to the restaurant in Etaninburgh.
The chicken cake is served in a large bowl with a sprinkle of chopped green onions, golden brown and emerald green, and there is no sauce.
The side vegetables are a kind of wild vegetables, which are all over the wild, no one specially grows them, and the price is low, so they filled a pot and placed it next to Qin Ran.
Qin Ran grabbed the barbecue, mixed it with green crispy peppers, and put it in his mouth.
Click, click.
The gravy and green crispy pepper taste are very appropriate.
In particular, the heaviness suppresses the bitterness of the green crispy pepper.
Green crispy peppers were also introduced from the south.
However, unlike the squeamishness of other vegetables, green crispy peppers have the vitality of wild vegetables, and they can live anywhere, and when the people of Hokuriku found that the bitter taste of green crispy peppers was very greasy, they were immediately loved by everyone in Hokuriku.
After all, not everyone can enjoy tea in the same way as the aristocracy.
Swallowing the barbecue, Qin Ran picked up the spoon, dug up a large piece of chicken cake and put it into his mouth.
The heat is just right, neither old nor thin, and it maintains an elastic taste.
Although it is only a mixture of coarse salt, the freshness of the eggs is enough to be praised, just like the side dishes, they are all so fresh and crispy.
A bite of barbecue, a bite of egg custard.
Qin Ran swept away the food for ten people.
Feeling the thought of wanting to eat silently from 'gluttony', Qin Ran restrained himself.
Sheep can't be kept on the goat.
Especially when there is only one.
We must cherish and care more.
Qin Ran looked at Pol's worried expression and taught 'gluttony'.
Then, regardless of whether 'gluttony' understood it or not, he looked at Horuff.
"Finished eating?"
The innkeeper asked.
"It's not yet lunchtime, and I have to restrain myself for lunch."
Qin Ran replied.
You've already eaten lunch for ten people!
The corner of the innkeeper's mouth twitched slightly, and then he turned and walked towards the courtyard where he lived.
Qin Ran quickly followed.
Pol hesitated, then followed.
In the small courtyard where Horuff lived, the innkeeper invited the two into his room.
Neither Qin Ran nor Pol had entered this ordinary room for the first time.
Apart from the necessary furniture, there is no decoration here.
Not even civilians would do that.
It looks like an ascetic.
"Sit."
Horruf moved in two stools from the outside, and after signaling Qin Ran and Pol, he sat on the bed.
"Do you know the witchers?"
Horuff asked straight to the point.
"Hmm."
Qin Ran nodded.
It's not a lie, he knows the witcher, but not the witcher of this world.
And Pol knows better.
"It is rumored that the demon hunters should have been killed and injured when they were investigating the 'Black Plague', right?"
Pol said as he looked at the innkeeper.
"No temptation."
"I'm one of the witchers you said should be dead and wounded."
"And, it's not the only one."
The innkeeper said angrily.
Pol touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, and then, looking at Horuff's fat figure, well, how to say it, it didn't seem to be the same as the demon hunter he remembered and rumored.
"What's wrong?"
"Retirement and fortune, can't you?"
The innkeeper glared at Pol again.
Then, he turned his head to look at Qin Ran.
He made a very unfamiliar gesture towards Qin Ran: the two hands were folded, the right hand rotated counterclockwise, when the four fingers of the right hand were stuck on the left index finger, the little finger of the left hand was slightly downward, and when the thumbs of the left and right hands were raised high, the morning sun happened to shine in, and a shadow of a wolf's head immediately appeared on the opposite wall.
"Have you seen it?"
The innkeeper asked.
"Yes."
Qin Ran nodded, and at the moment when the innkeeper showed surprise on his face, he continued: "Not only have I seen it, but I am also very good at hand shadow play, not only wolves, you see that I can also pigeon, fox and snake. ”
Inn Owner: ......
