Chapter 9 Writing

"Sekeley can't be a substitute for the dead, is he?"

Cole asked, lowering his voice.

"For the dead?"

"Possibly, though, the biggest one is the guy who launched it to grab our attention."

Hans spoke his mind.

"So ......"

"Who pushed him out?"

Galvin asked after a pause.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were on lawlessness, and Lamont asked directly.

"Lawlessness, who gave you the news?"

"A guy named Lore."

"He is an old man in the steel chariot, but his strength is very average, and he has been responsible for leading new players to open up wasteland and draw maps."

Lawlessness without the slightest concealment.

"I think we should meet this Lore."

Rhino suggested.

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Seconded."

Lamont nodded immediately, and no one around him objected.

Except for Qin Ran and the silent 'recluse' Levin, the latter's silence was a habit, so everyone's eyes were on Qin Ran.

"Why Sekeley?"

Qin Ran asked lightly.

Oh, yes.

Why Sekeley?

There aren't many Sekeli-like players in the huge city, but there are quite a few of them.

So why Sekeley, and not other similar players?

Everyone frowned in unison.

There were many speculations in their hearts, but in the end, all of them were denied.

In the end, everyone, including Levin, looked at Qin Ran again.

"Why?"

Lawlessness speaks for everyone.

But in everyone's expectant gaze, Qin Ran spread his hands.

"I don't know."

This answer stunned everyone, and then they spoke one after another.

"No, 2567, you're going to have no friends like this."

"2567 you know what?"

"If I hadn't beaten you, you'd have become a pig's head."

……

The crowd quarreled.

However, the questions mentioned by Qin Ran were all in his heart.

This will undoubtedly make them more cautious in their next actions.

And that's enough.

Qin Ran achieved his goal.

"I'm going to meet this Lore with the rhino."

Lamont and the rhinoceros stood up.

"We're going to collect information about Sekeley."

Hans and Cole act together.

"There may be some news from the mercenaries around me, and Blair and the like."

Galvin and Blair then left.

The members of the small group moved quickly.

After Lawless was called by Rachel to wash the dishes and wipe the table, Qin Ran, the 'craftsman', the 'alchemist' Lemay, and the 'recluse' Levine were left in the tavern.

Lemay, one of the latter two, staggered to his feet, walked to the bench in the corner, climbed directly on it, and snored.

The wine bottle that was just held in each other's arms was already empty.

Levine, the 'recluse', slowly walked to the fireplace with his cat in his arms, and sat down against the fireplace, allowing himself and the cat to have a more comfortable position.

Immediately, Qin Ran and the 'craftsman' were left in front of the table.

"Steinbeck's cooking is good?"

The 'craftsman' leaned back in his chair and spoke.

"Hmm."

"Good."

Qin Ran nodded matter-of-factly.

Then, the 'craftsman' fell silent.

This silence also silenced the surrounding atmosphere.

Even......

It's a little embarrassing.

Qin Ran frowned, he didn't like such embarrassment, so he was ready to leave.

However, before Qin Ran could stand up, the 'craftsman' spoke again.

"The food you made to him...... Satisfied? ”

The 'craftsman' asked a little hesitantly, and the words were a little deliberate.

"Satisfied."

Qin Ran once again gave an affirmative answer.

"Then it's nothing."

The 'craftsman' shook his head, and in Qin Ran's slightly puzzled gaze, he began to quickly change the topic.

"Bring it."

The 'craftsman' stretched out his hand.

"What?"

Qin Ran was stunned.

"[Broken Frost Heart]!"

The 'craftsman' said, a slight breath leaking from his body.

Is that...... The breath that only those who have entered the ranks can achieve.

Moreover, it is not an ordinary ranker.

The dazzling brilliance flickered in front of Qin Ran's eyes, and he seemed to see both flames, hurricanes, and frost, the three were intertwined, like a big bird with brilliant colors, spreading its wings and soaring in the sky, skimming the endless dark 'earth'.

And then......

All is calm.

II. Order?

No, it's not Tier II!

It's similar.

But it seems to be more complicated than Tier II?

A feeling of being inclusive of everything, but as if everything was independent, rose from the bottom of Qin Ran's heart.

Qin Ran, who possessed the powers of demons, original sin, holy thorns, dawn, and plague, had always felt that his power system was too complicated.

But the 'craftsman' in front of you is even more complicated.

But unlike him, this complexity presents a complete system.

In an instant, a word blurted out.

"The power of gems?!"

Qin Ran looked into the eyes of the 'craftsman', waiting for the other party's answer.

Then, he saw a smile.

The smile told him he had guessed right.

But Qin Ran had more questions.

"When will you ......"

"When I want not to be pulled down by you, I can only fight to catch up - the [Quest Cooldown Card] thing is rare, but it's not none."

"As it happens, my ability to identify and set gems is good enough for me to get them."

The 'craftsman's voice' said as indifferently and indifferently as ever.

She regained her usual appearance.

Qin Ran?

From start to finish, it was left as it was.

"You don't need to chase me."

"You should be responsible for yourself – in this city, everyone is on their own, and in order not to choose the worst option at the most critical moment, everyone should take advantage of the powerful opportunity as much as possible."

Qin Ran corrected what he thought was wrong in the other party's words, and then informed the other party of his thoughts.

There is not a word of deception.

It's all heartfelt words.

Anyone can hear the sincerity.

'Craftsmen' are no exception.

So......

“120。”

The craftsman said indifferently.

"What?"

Qin Ran, who had just taken out the [Broken Frost Heart], shook his hand, no, not his hands trembled, but his whole body trembled.

He felt pain in his flesh.

He knew that identifying the [Broken Frost Heart] would be expensive.

But he didn't expect it to be so expensive, and it has reached the level of his total income this time.

Deliberately?

Subconsciously, Qin Ran thought of this, but immediately, he denied it.

In his impression, in addition to the ability to identify and set gemstones, the most impressive thing about the 'craftsman' is the calm distinction between the huge city and the reality.

For this purpose, there is also a fixed time for playtime.

Such a person with strong self-control would not do such a thing at all.

What's more, there is no reason for the other party to do such a thing.

Qin Ran took a deep breath.

He suppressed his reluctance and began to trade with the 'craftsman'.

And in Lemay, on the bench, the snoring was even louder.

Levine wrapped his cat even tighter.

Woman?

Hehe, it's horrible.

It's better to be a cat.
