Chapter 8: Sekeley
As the auction ended, the tavern quickly fell silent after Rachel announced that the Harvest Tavern was closed early for the day.
Not all of them left.
Lawlessness, the 'Craftsman', Hans, Cole, the 'Loner' Levin, Lamont, the Rhinoceros, the 'Alchemist' Lemay, and the newcomers Blair and Galvin all sat in their respective positions, either closing their eyes or talking in a low voice, they were all waiting for Qin Ran.
"You just auctioned off about 7 or 80 magic-level items, right?"
Blair touched his friend Galvin, who had closed his eyes and was resting, with his arm in his arm.
"It's 80 magic items and 5 rare items."
Galvin corrected his friend.
"It's horrible."
"Is this the strength of a player with the sole title?"
"A dungeon world can have such a harvest."
Blair couldn't help but sigh.
"It's not the harvest of the dungeon world, it's the harvest after killing those attackers."
Galvin corrected his friend again.
"But it's all a reflection of strength, right?"
"If only I had that kind of strength."
Blair didn't mind his friend's correction at all, the two had been together for so long, and he had already figured out his friend's slightly obsessive-compulsive personality.
Similarly, Galvin was accustomed to Blair's careless, sloppy character.
If you don't get used to it, the two won't be friends.
"Even with that kind of strength, it's hard for us to replicate the experience of 2567."
Galvin thought hard for a moment, then replied.
"Why?"
Blair looked at his friend in bewilderment.
"Resources, luck."
"What do you mean?"
Galvin's answer made Blair even more puzzled.
"It's literal."
Lamont, who was carrying the twin swords at his waist, and the rhinoceros carrying [Kalja's Smash] walked over, and Lamont sat down opposite Blair and explained directly.
"When 2567 entered the huge city, it happened to be a node - on the surface, the 'brokers' and 'killer players' were fighting, and the 'guardians' were secretly plotting."
"It seems to be a tripartite force, but they are more or less involved with 2567."
"Then, 2567 exceeded their estimates again, and continued to rely on unexpected fights again and again to get to where it is today."
"Resources and luck are indispensable."
Resource ...... Do you see those raiders as a resource? ”
Blair reacted somewhat.
"Isn't it?"
"They see us as points, we see them as resources, what's wrong?"
The rhinoceros urn asked angrily.
"It's always weird."
As a newcomer to the small collective, Blair obviously did not dare to refute the old man's words, and although he felt that something was wrong, he could not say anything.
"Why do you like to ignore one of 2567's greatest strengths so much?"
"Tenacity!"
"He is the toughest person I have ever met, and he will not give up even in the face of the strongest enemy!"
"Even, in the last most desperate moment, he persevered."
Le May, the 'alchemist' who was as short as a schoolboy and holding a wine bottle, was also attracted by the conversation, and she expressed her opinion.
"And, he's calm."
The 'craftsman' also came over.
"Although sometimes it is calculated."
Hans and Cole added.
"Still, a good guy."
'The Withdrawn' Levine said as he hugged his cat.
"Good guys?"
"That's right, a good guy!"
Everyone was stunned and laughed together.
The loudest laugh was the lawlessness with the cigar in his mouth.
Qin Ran would ask him to sell those loot on his behalf every time.
That's right, he has a lot of friends.
But if there is an abundant supply, anyone can also have a lot of friends, and no one will mind having more such friends.
Not to mention that each commission is an extremely substantial income.
100% of 5 points is nothing.
But......
What about 100?
And even, more?
Anyone is going to be red-eyed.
And this time, with the addition of 5 pieces of rare level equipment, even if it is not a high-level rare level, it still makes the auction points quickly break through this limit.
But Qin Ran was still willing to hand over such an auction to him and let him preside over all this.
Lawlessness' heart is full of gratitude.
So, he changed the commission to 1%.
If it didn't change, he would quit and force Qin Ran to agree.
Lawless is not a person who likes to take advantage of friends, otherwise, he would not have such friends.
Do this to other friends.
Qin Ran will not be an exception.
Therefore, Lawless smiled very happily.
He thinks it's great to be able to help his friends.
Blair, who was still a little nervous at the beginning, completely let go at this time, picked up his wine glass and clinked glasses with Lamont and the rhinoceros.
As for Lemay?
No kidding, even if Blair is a newcomer, he knows not to drink with Lemay.
That's really going to drink the dead.
"A bunch of fools."
Rachel, who was standing behind the bar wiping her glass, pursed the corners of her lips, but didn't say much.
Because, she knew that in their eyes, Qin Ran was powerful, tenacious, and may be indifferent to enemies, but he was friendly to friends, there was no doubt about this.
And as Qin Ran's friends, it is obviously enough to have this.
"Silly, it's contagious."
Looking at the lawlessness that laughed heartily, Rachel sighed and passed Qin Ran's application to enter.
"Hey, 2567!"
"How about a drink?"
"I'm in for a treat!"
Qin Ran entered the Harvest Tavern, and immediately saw the appearance of everyone gathered around a table with their backs to the fireplace.
Lively, not noisy.
Qin Ran didn't mind such a bustle.
So, he nodded.
"Okay."
"Lemonade will do."
However, the emphasis that should be placed on it still needs to be emphasized.
Alcoholic beverages he does not touch.
Everyone knows this habit and no one minds.
When Qin Ran, who was holding lemonade, also sat down in the crowd, the formal topic began.
"Someone has sent me news that the person who has offered a bounty of 2567 is the leader of the Steel Chariot, 'Sekeley'."
Lawless said straight to the point.
"Steel chariots?"
"Sekeley?"
"Impossible, right?"
Immediate, lawless words caused astonishment.
Because, the people here are no strangers to steel chariots, even Qin Ran.
Although he rarely interacted with the Player's Guild, he still remembered the Player's Guild Wars he encountered when he first entered the huge city.
One is the Steel Chariot and the other is the Steam City.
Similarly, Qin Ran did not forget Lawless's evaluation of the two forces.
It's not a big force.
So, how could such a force be able to reward him with 500 points?
Unless......
Qin Ran, who had thought of something, raised his head and looked at everyone.
All of them looked thoughtful.
