Facing the lady who sat elegantly and walked straight to the opposite of him, showing his beautiful body, Qin Ran didn't even look at it, just picked up the spoon and scooped up a piece of chocolate ice cream ball, when the taste of cocoa completely spread on the tip of his tongue, Qin Ran squinted and raised his head.

"Bella?"

"Who is it?"

"I don't remember."

Qin Ran said so.

Bella's body, who was habitually using her body to give bonuses to 'conversation skills', stiffened.

"You're a joker."

"We just met a while ago."

"Have you forgotten the Barrier Waters?"

"And, as we know, you shouldn't be a forgetful person."

Bella was stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal, with a little playfulness in her tone, as if she was coquettish, but Qin Ran was not moved at all.

Qin Ran looked at Bella silently and didn't say a word.

Those calm eyes put a lot of pressure on Bella.

Even with the system's concealment of her face, Bella subconsciously chose to restrain her smile, sat up straight, and looked like she was sitting upright.

At this moment, in Bella's mind, the huge, pitch-black monster resurfaced.

In fact, in recent times, Bella has always thought of this monster.

Thinking of the other party's appearance of opening his mouth and preparing to devour her.

Whew, swoop.

Rapid breathing sounded, Bella's body began to tremble, and sweat unconsciously overflowed from her forehead.

"Since you know that I am not a forgetful person, you should know that I don't like to be followed."

Qin Ran said lightly.

"We're not tracking you!"

"We're just tracking Pol!"

Bella immediately explained.

"You have followed him and appeared before me......"

"Is there a difference?"

Qin Ran asked rhetorically.

Bella was speechless.

At this time, she hated her own self-assertions.

Her initial mission was to keep an eye on Pol.

But when she found out that Pol was going to Qin Ran's appointment, she unconsciously changed her original plan and couldn't help but want to investigate.

After all, Pol, a member of the Guardians who had existed since its inception, was already an integral part of their plans.

Any mishaps will affect their plans.

And that's what she doesn't allow.

So, she decided to take a chance.

The horror of the 'Fire Demon' was well known to her and everyone in the huge city who knew its name, but she still had some confidence.

Not only because of the contact between the two sides, but also because her abilities just recently made a breakthrough.

The last time she faced the 'Fire Demon', the other party's indifference was really an insulting frustration for Bella, so much so that after that meeting, she simply used two cooldown cards to complete two dungeon worlds in a row, and both of them received extremely high praise.

And when all the proceeds were invested in her own skills, Bella had quite a lot of confidence.

Of course, she didn't have the luxury of shaking the 'Demon of Fire'.

However, she thinks she will have some influence on the 'Fire Demon'.

But the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Qin Ran, who was sitting opposite, with no change in his breath, was telling Bella what kind of mistake she had made.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."

"I'm willing to compensate you."

"Anything but turning me into a slave or simply taking my life."

Without any hesitation, Bella said directly.

An almost staggering condition, just said so casually, there is no doubt that Bella is a person who knows her mistakes and can change them.

In other words, Bella, who had studied Qin Ran, understood how she should survive in front of the 'Flame Demon'.

"How much do you think your life is worth?"

Qin Ran's spoon dug into the blueberries next to the chocolate ice cream ball, and the taste of the blueberry ice cream ball stained with a little chocolate ball changed from sweet and sour to more mellow and fragrant, coupled with the cold feeling, it was very delicious, so that Qin Ran simply dug up the entire blueberry ice cream ball next time and put it into his mouth.

"My life?"

Bella bowed her head and fell silent.

Life is priceless.

Or their own lives are priceless.

Once you fall into the price list mode, it will inevitably become a number that is difficult to say.

It's low and looks worthless.

It's high, she can't afford that price.

Bella frowned, and eventually, she gritted her teeth.

"Priceless!"

"It's priceless in my eyes!"

"It's worthless in your eyes, because you can easily destroy it with a slight lift of your hand – but it's far less useful to destroy it than to keep it."

"[Barrier Water] I have quite a stock."

"Even if it's the latest enhanced version of [Barrier Water], I have a certain share."

Bella said.

"Not enough."

Qin Ran shook his head.

"I can sign a contract with you, and I will do my best to help you once without violating my position."

Bella spun her brain and organized her vocabulary.

"Ten times."

Qin Ran gave a number.

"Ten, ten?"

Bella was taken aback, she looked at Qin Ran in amazement, obviously she didn't expect Qin Ran to say such a number, shouldn't she say one, and return one three or four?

But when it came to her own life, Bella didn't bargain.

"Okay!"

"Ten times is ten times!"

Bella replied.

Then, a new contract appeared in front of Bella, and after confirming that it was correct, Bella signed her name.

After handing the contract back to Qin, Bella did not leave.

"Your Excellency, do you have anything to do with Pol?"

"I don't mean to be tempted, it's just that because of who he is, it's important to us."

"Next, we may make contact with him."

Bella explained.

"Nope."

"I'm just asking for some information."

"What do you know about the leader of the Guardians?"

Qin Ran shook his head and asked.

The people who know you best will never be friends, but enemies, especially those who have changed from friends to enemies, and they know you far more than you imagine.

The 'rebels' who have broken away from the 'Guardians' are very much in line with this.

However, to Qin Ran's disappointment, Bella didn't know enough, almost no different from Pol.

But one thing is confirmed.

The two Overseers of the Guardians have not been replaced.

It's still 'Rheinster' and 'Hell'.

"Is that so?"

Qin Ran said with a little disappointment.

"The hierarchy of the 'Guardian' organization is far beyond the imagination of outsiders, and ordinary members don't even know about the Guardian Envoy, only that there is an Inspector."

"Or, they think the Overseer is the leader."

"Some even think that the eagle is the leader."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Bella's voice.

"Eagle?"

"Do you know more about eagles in 'The Guardians'?"

Qin Ran subconsciously thought of the eagle that first appeared in front of him and imposed the 'Witch Mark' on him, and the eagle with extraordinary strength that had just been devoured by the little spider.

"I haven't seen any other eagles other than the one who gave us the 'Witch Mark'."

"Even the eagle that gave us the 'witch mark', I've seen it in a few meetings, it should exist alongside the two overseers, but the 'prison' seems to be very unconvinced by the eagle, and every time it's yin and yang."

Bella recalled.

And in the subsequent conversation, Bella was unable to provide Qin Ran with more valuable information.

Soon, the conversation was over.

Bella left the ice cream parlor slightly embarrassed.

Qin Ran thought about the ice cream shop proprietress beckoning.

"One more, pack and take away."

Qin Ran said.

"Yes, guest!"

"Come now!"

The shopkeeper's voice of joy rang out again.

……

Dome clock tower, tower top.

Hidden in a room in a corner.

The sound of flapping wings kept ringing.

It's banging on the window.

The sound of snapping and popping couldn't stop coming.

But it was as solid as an alloy, and the window imprinted with layers of runes not only did not move, but also transmitted the power of the counterattack to it.

Cry!

With a stinging cry, it landed on the scaffolding again.

It fluttered its broken wings and looked up at the sky outside the window.

That's where it used to be most often.

It belongs there.

It loves the feeling of soaring.

It shouldn't be trapped here.

Cry!

Another chirp, and it rushed to the window again.

The faint brilliance of the rune flickered again.

……

13 Walway Street.

Qin Ran sat on the sofa with two metal pots in his hands.

【Daigo's Liquid】!

The specialty of the Ryder family in the dungeon world [Righteousness of Food] can stimulate a wisdom talent for yourself, the first time has the greatest chance, and it will become smaller later, if it is activated once, it cannot be activated the second time, but after taking it, it will be contaminated with the taste of [Daigo's liquid] for a certain period of time.

It was precisely for this reason that Qin Ran kept the two copies of [Daigo's Liquid] and prepared to give them to his entourage after returning to the room.

As for who to choose to give?

Qin Ran's gaze changed from the high-ranking evil spirit, frost wolf, fire crow, old book, Agnesa (torturer), Elto. Lily and Jack White, swept over them, and had a plan in mind.

He beckoned to the fire raven first.

Ga!

As soon as he flapped his wings, the fire crow landed on Qin Ran's wrist.

There is no doubt that even among the many followers, the fire raven's detection ability is still the most powerful by relying on the bonus of racial talent.

Coupled with the characteristics of the Fire Raven's [Phase Fusion], it is of great help to the Demon Flame.

Even if there is a limit of no more than V., it is still an indispensable help for Qin Ran.

Except for the wisdom part, it is slightly worse!

This may be the only thing Qin Ran frowned on.

Even if it is a superior heterogeneous demon, its wisdom is far beyond that of ordinary animals, and it can even be said that it is close to humans, but there is still a certain gap between them and real humans.

Perhaps as the fire raven ascends again, it will be able to be like a real human, but that will take chance.

And Qin Ran never counted on luck.

Therefore, a serving of Daigo's liquid is worth it.

Twisting the lid of the pot, Qin Ran fed the [Daigo's Liquid] to the fire crow little by little.

When all the [Daigo's Liquid] was drunk by the fire crow, the pale gold in the middle of the fire crow's forehead began to glow.

This flicker lasted for about five seconds, and as the light dissipated, the pale gold became more and more intense, and there was a subtle change that made it look like an erected human eye.

And in the special effects position, there is a new special effect: [Anthropomorphic].

[Anthropomorphic: In the company of a long time, the fire crow is constantly learning from you, and the liquid of Daigo under the swallow makes it completely awaken its wisdom, it will have human-like wisdom, but the personality is unconsciously close to you. 】

……

The fire crow jumped, jumping from the position of Qin Ran's wrist to the position of his shoulder, and after stretching out his head and rubbing Qin Ran's cheek affectionately, he glanced sideways at Qin Ran's entourage.

"That bird, as if it despises me?"

Standing at the end of the line, White Jack inexplicably felt the meaning in the fire crow's gaze.

However, it doesn't bother more.

Its gaze was firmly fixed on the remaining pot of [Daigo Liquid] in Qin Ran's hand.

It didn't know what it was, but it knew it was good.

What's more, it hasn't been decided who it is.

Thinking of this, White Jack no longer hesitated.

"Great ......"

"Wang, Wang!"

As soon as White Jack opened his mouth, the frost wolf had already begun to circle around Qin Ran's legs.

While rubbing Qin Ran's trouser legs, he hummed in his mouth, and then, he flipped his belly in front of Qin Ran, widened his brown and blue heterochromatic eyes, stuck out his tongue, and looked at Qin Ran flatteringly.

He raised his hand and touched the top of the frostwolf's head.

"This is not something that can be obtained by being coquettish."

"It has a better choice."

Qin Ran explained to the frost wolf.

However, the frost wolf still bit Qin Ran's trouser leg and was unrelenting.

"Insatiable guy!"

"Don't forget, you still have it!"

"If you want Daigo's liquid, you can trade it for it!"

Qin Ran smiled and picked up the frost wolf, and tapped the leather bag hanging from the frost wolf's neck with his fingertips, which contained the [Broken Frost Heart].

"Woo, woo!"

The frostwolf let out a series of whimperes, its front paws firmly gripping the leather bag.

Then, it bared its teeth at White Jack.

"Why are you barking at me?"

"You're a wolf, not a dog!"

"Do you want to eat bones?"

White Jack once again inexplicably sensed the meaning in his eyes.

The other party seems to complain about it again.

In other words, it was people who opened their mouths to change the outcome of things.

"Do I have that ability?"

"I'm just a skeleton."

"It's still an unappreciated skeleton."

White Jack looked at the [Daigo Liquid], and the soul fire unconsciously dimmed.

On the other hand, there are old books that have remained silent.

"Old books."

Qin Ran shouted, threw the [Daigo Liquid] in his hand to the other party, looking at the stunned other party, Qin Ran said slowly: "You are very suitable for the talent of wisdom, I am looking forward to what kind of changes will occur if you drink its wisdom." ”

"You won't be disappointed!"

After bowing down to the old book with white hair, he twisted the lid of the pot and drank the [Daigo's liquid] in one gulp.
