Chapter 7: The Curse of the Sheriff
Not only did the young man have a strange look on his face, but so did those townspeople, and a few of them were afraid of the snake and scorpion that opened the distance between them and Qin Ran. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The performance of the aborigines made the corners of Qin Ran's mouth curl.
He smelled the scent of a side quest.
But on the surface, there is a hint of doubt
"What, is there something wrong with it?"
"Or what's going on here?"
Qin Ran pretended not to know and pointed to the appointment letter in the young man's hand.
"Of course there is no problem with it, I can still understand the letters of appointment of the adults of the City of Dawn."
"Hello, Your Excellency 2567."
"I'm Vaughan, the militia captain of Gravel."
"It's an honor to meet the new sheriff, you know, I've been expecting you to be there for a long time - the militia alone can't keep Gravel safe."
As he spoke, the young man staggered the topic and held out his hand.
"It's an honor."
Qin Ran stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party, and then, under the leadership of the other party, walked towards the security office of Gravel Town.
On the way, the other party looked at the mixed-race frost wolf cub who was following Qin Ran's feet from time to time.
"What a great hound!"
"Strong limbs, loyal to the master, docile to those whom the master approves...... The way it looks reminds me of my former partner! β
The young man praised.
"Then it must be a good dog."
Qin Ran said with a smile.
"Of course!"
"It's a pity that two months ago...... Those robbers who are more disgusting than maggots in the gutter, don't let me catch them, or I'll show them what it means to be terrible. β
The young man said viciously.
But it was only a fierce expression, without the slightest murderous intent, let alone murderous aura.
Obviously, the terrible thing in the young man's mouth is at most to beat the other party and send the other party to prison.
Grew up in a small town, has a good strength in the town, and is a young man with a righteous heart?
Immediately, Qin Ran gave the other party such an evaluation.
Of course, whether it is certain or not depends on the future.
"Vaughn, what did you look like just after I said I was the sheriff?"
Qin Ran asked.
"The sheriff of Gravel is cursed!"
"Since the tragic death of that sheriff Peters in a battle with the bandits, Gravel Town has changed three sheriffs in just one year."
"The first successor, fell down the stairs and broke his neck."
"The second successor, pierced through the heart by a dark arrow shot from the shadows."
"The third successor died in his sleep two months ago."
"You are the fourth successor."
This time the young people did not stagger the topic.
The other party first lowered his voice, and then began to fold his fingers and said.
When he raised his fourth finger, the young man looked at Qin Ran.
"Well, hearing such a thing, would you still like to be the sheriff of Gravel?"
There was a palpable temptation in the young man's words.
Not malicious.
It's the kind of game that children often play, 'you are not bold, you have the ability to go anywhere'.
It's just that the game in front of me is not a trivial thing like being scared to cry, but a really fatal thing.
However, Qin Ran was as willing as he was.
Because, the prompt of the system appeared-
[Discover the side quest: The sheriff's first step]
[Sheriff's First Step: As the sheriff of Gravel, you need to break this 'curse' and re-establish the sheriff's prestige.] γ
β¦β¦
"Of course!"
Qin Ran nodded.
Even if there are no side quests, he will agree.
What's more, there are also side quests.
However, the name of the side quest made Qin Ran subconsciously think of the [identity] he had just seen.
"Is there a side quest that starts based on [Identity]?"
Qin Ran squinted his eyes and thought flashed.
Until now, he had not been able to determine the difficulty of the dungeon world in front of him.
And the side quests that extend from [Identity] in front of you are undoubtedly a good opportunity.
But......
Mimosa there.
Since he has such a side quest that extends from his identity, the other four players will inevitably have similar quests.
This quest is not only an opportunity for players to observe the difficulty of the title dungeon in front of them, but also a litmus test.
Successful, stay.
If you fail, you will be expelled from the game.
That's right, title quests don't have a main quest.
But the danger remains.
In particular, the risk factor of mimosa is much higher than his.
Qin Ran didn't forget that the mimosa holding the main scroll would get a higher difficulty condition than the player holding the secondary scroll, although it also had more convenience, but with the courage of the mimosa.
Such convenience is almost non-existent.
Thinking of this, Qin Ran said to the young man who led the way, "Vaughn, can we be faster?" My dog and I both needed a full dinner, and it would have been nice to have a soft bed. β
"Rest assured, dinner, bed, and hot bath water, everything!"
After Qin Ran heard the sheriff's curse and still agreed to become the sheriff, the young militia captain had a great impression of Qin Ran.
Soon, under the leadership of the other party, Qin Ran came to the security station.
A two-storey building with a sturdy faΓ§ade and an iron fence.
"The first floor is where you work, the sheriff, two of the houses are where some bad guys are kept, and the upper floor is your private space, with a bedroom with a study and two guest rooms."
"Twenty-nine militiamen, including me, are your subordinates, and I am your assistant, and I will report to you on time every morning and evening on what is happening in the town."
"There will be ten militiamen patrolling the town during the day, fifteen at night, and four more in reserve just in case."
The young militia captain introduced, pushing open the door of the security station.
"There were supposed to be two people keeping vigil here, but because of the curse, no one wanted to come here."
"I've been here for three days, but nothing has happened, and besides, the gate is more important, and I have to keep an eye on it."
The young man said, his eyes sweeping around.
It seems that he wants to find something, but the result is destined to disappoint the other party.
Nothing but furniture.
After lighting the candles in the police station with the torches he had brought with him, the young militia captain said, "I'll go and bring you food, bedding, and bath water, but I'll have to wait a while." β
"Okay."
Qin Ran nodded.
The young man quickly left.
In the security station, which is not big or small, there is only Qin Ran and the mixed-blood frost wolf cub left.
The empty room was quiet all at once.
Qin Ran glanced around, pulled over a chair, and sat in the hall on the first floor of the security station, while a card appeared in his hand.
[Name: Communication Card (Main Card)]
[Type: Card]
[Quality: Magic]
[Attribute: Let the player contact the player with the secondary card, the number of uses: 3/3]
[Notes: It allows you to communicate freely, but it can't break certain restrictions.]
β¦β¦
This is one of the countermeasures that Qin Ran and Mimosa have prepared.
But before Qin Ran could use the [Communication Card], a gust of wind suddenly blew.
Call!
The candle on the table went out with a 'poof'.
Moonlight shone through the gap in the window on one side, bringing a ray of light to the dark room.
But the next moment, this ray of light also disappeared.
A shadow blocked the crack in the window.
A scarlet eye emerged in the shadow like smoke, staring at Qin Ran in the room through the gap.
Then......
This scarlet eye, was poked blind.
