Chapter 12: Speculation
For the aborigines, the unfamiliarity and common-sense mistakes of a place will only make them see the other person as a fool or an idiot. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Those who are wary of it are just thinking that there will be some traps in this.
But Qin Ran, who is a player, is different.
When he heard Hall's answer, he subconsciously thought of the identity of 'Modi'.
Gamer!
The performance of the other party has a great chance of being a player.
Unlike when he normally entered the dungeon world and obtained simple memories and background identities, the other party did not have these, so he showed unfamiliarity with the vicinity of the Supreme Path and made some common-sense mistakes.
But......
"Could this be the 'broker' guy playing tricks?"
Qin Ran groaned.
For the 'broker', Qin Ran thought that no amount of caution was enough.
Because, until the last minute, you have no idea how much that guy is hiding.
This time, Qin Ran didn't think it was an exception.
"Throw out 'Modi', let's focus on 'Modi'?"
"No, no, it's too simple, it should be a little more complicated!"
"Our attention will not only be on Modi, but also on the people who are related to Modi!"
"And that's what the brokers want!"
"What he wants is to draw our attention to the person associated with Modi and make us think that person is his real subordinate!"
"That person must be a terrible trap waiting for us to jump into."
"The real henchmen of the other party are hidden in the shadows."
"Or ......"
"The 'broker' is suspicious again, that person is his subordinate, and the guy hiding in the shadows is the trap?"
Qin Ran, who was thinking, rubbed his temples.
The reason why he hates 'brokers' is because of the other party's practice of being virtual and real, and at any time the 'virtual' part will become 'real', and the 'real' part may also become 'virtual'.
Every time he faced such a 'broker', Qin Ran would scold the other party's profiteers together with Lawlessness.
But in the bottom of his heart, Qin Ran confirmed that the title of 'liar' is more suitable for the other party.
Call.
Exhaling a breath, Qin Ran temporarily gave up thinking about the arrangement of the 'broker'.
There were too few clues in front of him, and he couldn't guess more at all, and if he thought about it randomly, he would only mess with himself.
The [Communication Card] appeared in Qin Ran's hands again.
Qin Ran was ready to contact Mimosa.
However, the ensuing system prompt made Qin Ran frown.
[The other party is in a special environment and cannot communicate with ......]
……
Qin Ran changed several ways in a row, but nothing changed.
Obviously, this is the worst-case scenario they expected.
To make matters worse, Mimosa didn't act according to the predetermined plan: when it wasn't life-threatening, give up and save herself.
In Sword of Dawn, there is no main quest.
Giving up voluntarily will not cause anything to lose at all except for the loss of the title of [Sword of Dawn].
For others, the title of Sword of Dawn is inevitable, but for mimosa, such a title is dispensable.
"Did something happen?"
Qin Ran thought with a little worry.
Qin Ran, who had just experienced the side quest [Sheriff's First Step] and gained 3 more days, seemed to have completed this side quest easily.
But this is based on his exceptionally strong strength.
Every time he desperately excavates each dungeon world, Qin Ran, who gains far beyond the imagination of others, is no longer a player who speculates based on the number of dungeons.
If anyone speculated on his strength based on the number of copies, Qin Ran guaranteed that the other party would be able to walk around without eating.
Similarly, a player who has experienced the sixth dungeon difficulty to complete the side quest just now will not be able to eat and walk around.
With gunpowder weapons being restricted on a large scale, the nearly 100 heavily armed bandit regiments are too much to deal with, let alone a warrior with a 'half' mysterious side like Hall.
Using this as a basis to infer the difficulties faced by the mimosa, Qin Ran couldn't help frowning.
But this did not hinder Qin Ran's actions.
He was unable to contact the mimosa.
I don't know what the mimosa is like now.
But he knew that he, Mimosa, and the three other hostile competitors had all emerged around Burning Dawn, even the more special 'broker' men.
So, the mimosa must be near the path of the highest.
"Hall, bring me all the official documents about Burning Dawn."
"And help me gather information about what anomalous events are happening near the Supreme Path."
Qin Ran commanded directly.
"Yes, sir."
Mayor Hale bowed behind him and walked away quickly.
As Mayor Hale left, the militia captain who had been guarding outside walked in quickly.
"What's going on?"
The other party's age made the other party not good at beating around the bush, so he stood in front of Qin Ran and asked very simply.
"Hall is confused."
"He lost his nature."
"I freed him from that confusion and allowed him to rediscover his true nature and change back to his original self."
Qin Ran said half-truthfully.
He hides the reason why Hall was confused, but he tells the truth of the confusion.
Because, Qin Ran could see that the relationship between Vaughn and Hall was extraordinary.
He didn't want the young man who had made a good impression on him to go through unnecessary suffering.
What is lost is irretrievable.
So...... What can be redeemed must be cherished.
Family, friendship, love are all like this.
Even if there will be some kind little tricks in it, the young man in front of him doesn't mind, does it?
After hearing Qin Ran's words, the young militia captain breathed a long sigh of relief, and the apprehension in his heart was completely let go with this tone.
He was really worried that Qin Ran would say the truth he didn't want to face the most.
Thankfully, fortunately.
A smile resurfaced on the young militia captain's face.
"Thank you for all you do for Mayor Hall."
Said the young militia captain.
"No thanks!"
"Hale is the mayor of Gravel, I'm the sheriff of Gravel, and it's only natural for me to help him."
Qin Ran replied.
Such an answer made the young militia captain have a better impression of Qin Ran.
"I'm the militia captain of Gravel, and it's right to help you."
"My lord, is there anything I need to do?"
The young man said with a smile.
Such words are a joke close to the world.
But what the young man didn't expect was that Qin Ran nodded very seriously.
"Of course!"
"Gather the people we can, we need to do a big raid - there's so much instability in Gravel Town, I think we need to clean it up."
The young man, who was stunned at first, immediately became serious with Qin Ran's words.
"Yes, sir."
The other party replied loudly, and immediately went to gather the men.
Qin Ran didn't pay too much attention to the other party, but instead looked at the new side quest [Sheriff's Second Step] that naturally appeared with the completion of the side quest [Sheriff's First Step].
[Sheriff's Second Step: You have broken the 'curse' and have initially established your prestige, but this is only the beginning - there are still many dangers in Gravel Town, which need to be addressed by you, the sheriff. 】
……
"Automatic chain quests?"
"Does it finally point to the Burning Dawn?"
"Or?"
Qin Ran looked at his [identity], his eyes flickering slightly.
