Chapter 15 Sharpening the Knife
Faced with Qin Ran's inquiry, J. Perelman did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment, as if he was suppressing something.
After two or three seconds, he informed Qin Ran by private message.
J. Perelman: We are being hunted.
2567 : Hunting?
2567 : Freedom Alliance?
……
Qin Ran's gaze paused for a moment on the word 'hunting', and in order to confirm, he asked a rhetorical question, and this time, J. Perelman did not hesitate, nodded very dryly, and began to describe in detail in private messages.
J. Perelman: About a week ago, people began to die in the Liberal League.
J. Perelman: At first, we didn't care, after all, although the probability of death of Tierers in the dungeon world is very low, but it is not impossible, but soon, we found out that something was wrong: those dead companions were not in the dungeon world!
J. Perelman: Because, one of the companions had just finished the dungeon world, and he sent us an invitation to celebrate, and then ...... He was killed, on the way to the headquarters of the Freedom Alliance.
J. Perelman: And by this time, we found out that in just one week, three official members had died, and, we were convinced, there was an eye on the Freedom Alliance.
……
While describing to Qin Ran, the solemnity in J. Perelman's eyes became more and more obvious.
"Tell me all."
"Including your subsequent response."
Qin Ran said softly.
Although the Freedom Alliance is a loose organization, Qin Ran believes that no organization will ignore the killing of its own members.
Not to mention an organization like the Freedom Alliance, which has about 10 full members.
"Hmm."
J. Perelman nodded, still informing Qin Ran in a private message.
J. Perelman: When we found out that something was wrong, we immediately set up a trap to catch the guy, but alas, the guy seemed to notice it, and he didn't fall for it at all, and not only that, as if to provoke us, but when we lost our patience, the guy reappeared, killed one of our official members, and left a note.
……
J. Perelman, who mentioned the note, offered a deal and showed it to Qin Ran.
A very ordinary note, which should have been torn from some notebook, with a clear rest on it with a pen: the fourth.
J. Perelman: We were angry, but more of a horrified, and the guy clearly didn't mean to stop.
J. Perelman: Because our partner has always been known for his defense among us, and because of this, he volunteered to be the bait, and it took less than a minute from the time he was killed, to the time we appeared, and more importantly, there was no trace of the scene.
J. Perelman: We judged that the guy's strength was beyond our reach, so I was sent out to find help, and of the people I know, there is no one better suited than you, Lord 2567.
……
Didn't leave any traces?
Qin Ran raised his eyebrows.
Walking through, there will be traces!
He has always believed in this sentence.
I didn't find it, I just didn't see it.
After pondering for a moment, and after making some guesses related to himself, Qin Ran spoke.
"Yes, I'm willing to help you."
He said.
"Really?"
"Thank you so much."
J. Perelman said in surprise.
"But the preconditions ......"
"If there is a conflict between this matter and you and the person you care about, we will automatically give up."
There was no need for Qin Ran to finish speaking, J. Perelman took the initiative to say.
"And there's a pay."
Qin Ran will never forget what he deserves.
"[Siegel's Hammer] is one of the rewards."
"Then, you can also get a piece of equipment for the entry class."
J. Perelman said right away.
"Advanced? Inadequate! ”
"At least III., moreover, it's up to me to specify the type."
Qin Ran shook his head.
For transactions, Qin Ran has always been business-like.
What's more, the person in front of him is not within the range of friends he recognizes, what to do, Qin Ran naturally knows what to do.
Of course, Qin Ran didn't have a lion's mouth.
He put forward the conditions based on some information he usually heard and synthesized his own analysis.
With the strength of the Freedom Alliance, it is not easy to put together a Tier III item, but it is not impossible.
As for Tier IV?
Qin Ran shook his head.
He didn't think the Liberty League had that strength.
If there is one, he will bring it up.
And everything was just as Qin Ran guessed.
"This, this ......"
"I need to ask Amelia."
J. Perelman is obviously not a qualified negotiator, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the core message was revealed: the Freedom Alliance had a Tier III prop.
"Yes."
Qin Ran nodded.
Then, under Qin Ran's gaze, J. Perelman began to contact that Amelia.
Amelia is a player who is still well-known among the rankers, in addition to his own strength in the ranks, because he established the Freedom Alliance.
An organization that sits somewhere between a loner and a guild.
Players who can't go it alone and don't want to join a guild with too many constraints are happy to choose an organization that can help them without being harshly constrained.
Coupled with the strength that is not weak, the attraction is even greater.
But......
The downside is also extremely obvious: the core is missing!
Amelia is not the core, at most she is a liaison like J. Perelman in front of her.
You may not be able to see anything in normal times, but when you encounter real trouble, the crisis will manifest itself.
Just like at this moment.
Qin Ran was sure that those official players in the Freedom Alliance were facing an inexplicable hunt, and most of them were unable to work.
So much so that Amelia had to make the choice of 'asking for foreign help'.
Otherwise, a group of Rankers would be able to make anyone intimidated if they got together and worked together.
About five minutes had passed, and after J. Perelman raised his head again, he said directly: "Order III is OK, but the type cannot be specified. ”
"Then add another item of the same type as Tier I."
Qin Ran said very simply.
"This, this ......"
"I'll ask again."
J. Perelman said again with embarrassment.
However, this time the inquiry was quick, and after a few seconds, the other party raised his head and gave an affirmative answer.
"Okay."
"But we need to sign a contract."
J. Perelman said with a wry smile.
"The deed says [Siegel's Hammer] as an advance payment."
Qin Ran signaled.
"Of course."
J. Perelman immediately drafted the contract, and after Qin Ran confirmed that it was correct, he signed the names of both parties.
When the contract was signed, J. Perelman was visibly relieved.
"When are we going to start?"
The other party asked.
"Wait a minute!"
"I'll come when I go!"
Qin Ran stood up as he said and walked towards the small hall.
The sooner some things that can increase strength are completed, the more beneficial it will be for Qin Ran.
"Be careful."
As she brushed shoulders with Rachel, the tavern lady reminded in a low voice.
"Hopefully it's what you guessed."
"After all, I've been waiting for a long time!"
Qin Ran smiled and replied in the same low voice, and after speaking, Qin Ran quickened his pace.
Looking at the direction in which Qin Ran had disappeared, the tavern proprietress couldn't help but sigh for Qin Ran's enemies.
A formidable enemy is not to be feared.
The terrifying thing is that this formidable enemy is cautious, calm, and ...... Watch your eyes.
"Have a nice day."
Picking up the empty wine glass on the bar, the tavern lady raised her glass, and then, thinking of something, the tavern lady raised her glass to J. Perelman.
Respect, poor honest man.
