The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1409: exchange information

Views:

The battle outside the door did not affect the noise in Harvest Tavern at all.

Looking at Qin Ran who had returned, the solo travelers all raised their glasses.

They will not ask what Qin Ran is doing anymore.

Even if you know the battle outside, you are very curious inside.

There are rules everywhere.

In Harvest Tavern, the rule among solo travelers is to restrain their unnecessary curiosity.

Qin Ran nodded as a signal, and after taking the free lemonade that Lawless handed over, he walked around the bar and walked towards the small hall of the tavern.

"Is the harvest good?"

Rachel looked at Qin Ran who was returning, and asked directly.

"Um."

"That's what I deserve."

"Just like I get the corresponding reward from you."

Qin Ran nodded, reminding the tavern proprietress of the rewards she should give.

"Death for money!"

The tavern proprietress snorted.

Qin Ran shrugged, not paying attention at all.

With lawlessness, he is not worried that the proprietress of the tavern will break her promise, but this does not mean that he will give up his right to remind and urge the other party.

Want money

It's true in every way.

But what's wrong

The miser has always made it one of the credos of life.

"You want points?"

"Or a prop of the same level?"

"Or news?"

asked the tavern proprietress.

"information."

Qin Ran replied without hesitation.

Points, with Buckle's 'assistance', he is not lacking.

The same goes for props.

Unless it is a very special kind.

But Qin Ran believed that if Rachel had such a special and capable item, he would have given him a reward for inviting him this time, instead of giving him three choices.

Therefore, the message is the best choice.

Moreover, the news obtained from Rachel, after his verification, is really worth the money.

"I hope to know more information about the fifth order."

Qin Ran added a sentence.

"I don't know much about Tier 5, and each one is priceless."

"You can only know one of them for your reward."

"Which one do you want to know?"

The tavern proprietress sat up straight.

When discussing business, the proprietress of the tavern was always serious, and so was Kieran.

Therefore, Qin Ran chuckled lightly.

"What do you have?"

he asked.

"Sly guy, you want more judgment from my answer?"

"Tell you, it's impossible."

"As I said before, every piece of information on level 5 is invaluable."

"Naturally including the question itself."

The proprietress of the tavern shook her finger, indicating that she would not be fooled.

"Don't you think it's too much?"

"There is no choice, how can I speak?"

"The information on the fifth order is not too much."

The tavern proprietress emphasized.

Qin Ran spread out his hands, as if he was in trouble, but his heart was spinning rapidly.

Obviously, the fifth-order information is more valuable than he imagined.

So much so that Rachel is overly cautious about every piece of information.

Not even the question itself is willing to disclose.

Just give him the right to choose.

However, such a choice is too passive.

Kieran didn't like this kind of passivity.

He began to organize words in his heart.

"Then how do I know whether what I say will hide huge value?"

"After all, every piece of information on level 5 is priceless!"

Qin Ran leaned on the sofa and said slowly.

"The guy who is so cautious that he is timid."

The tavern proprietress snorted.

"At least it's better than suffering losses for no reason."

Qin Ran smiled indifferently.

In reality, such negotiations would naturally reach a deadlock, but in a huge city, there is the most direct and simple method.

contract.

A contract appeared on the table.

The proprietress brought it out.

And before handing it to Qin Ran, the proprietress of the tavern signed her name first.

Qin Ran glanced at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he wrote his name.

The content of the contract is roughly: on the basis of the original remuneration, if Qin Ran's information about the 5th order is not known to the tavern proprietress, then the tavern proprietress must compensate Qin Ran for a piece of corresponding information.

After thinking about it, Qin Ran added one more item: the system's notarization fees will be shared equally by the two.

"How stingy are you?"

When the proprietress of the tavern saw this, her eyes widened and she looked at Qin Ran who was sitting opposite. If possible, she really wanted to tear off the cover given by the system and see if the guy in front of her had changed. With an indifferent look in his eyes, why do you always care about every penny when it comes to this kind of time

Completely like a businessman.

No!

No, not a businessman!

But profiteers!

The kind of profiteer who wants to empty out the other party's wallet, but pays a small price for himself!

or…

Don't want to give anything.

The lady proprietress of the tavern believed that if she proposed that the notarization fees should be entirely paid by her, the guy opposite would nod and agree in a very ungentlemanly manner.

"A guy like you will have no friends."

The proprietress of the tavern gritted her teeth and said.

"Friends will recognize and appreciate my virtues!"

"After all, thrift is a rare virtue in itself."

Qin Ran answered frankly.

"It's the first time I've heard someone glorify stinginess in such a high-sounding way, and you've also tarnished true friendship."

The lady proprietress of the tavern obviously didn't want to entangle with Qin Ran on this issue anymore, after notarizing the contract, she immediately asked, "Tell me, what do you want to know?"

"How to improve after level 5?"

Qin Ran asked straightforwardly.

After the spiritual attribute reached 5-, Kieran had already received a clear reminder that gold attribute points and gold skill points could not improve the current spiritual attribute level.

As for the improvement method that is like a breakthrough in a dream

Sensing the subtle but tenacious flame in his brain, Kieran was sure it wasn't.

The flames have been kindled.

What he needs now is how to make the flames burn more vigorously, rather than ignite another flame.

perhaps…

Someone will do it.

But Qin Ran won't.

Maybe in the future, he will do this, but definitely not now, he just ignited that flame, expecting to ignite more, it is too imaginative.

"have no idea."

"After entering the fifth level, everyone's choice is different."

"What I know applies only to me, not to you."

Facing Qin Ran's question, the proprietress of the tavern said straightforwardly.

"Not even a hint?"

Qin Ran asked.

"If you confirm that you want to use this answer as your reward, you can."

The tavern proprietress answered.

"Just a reminder is not enough as my reward, at least you need to tell me one more piece of news."

Qin Ran suggested.

"no."

"Don't even think about it!"

The tavern owner flatly refused, but Qin Ran didn't care.

"We can discuss."

"Look, I don't mind paying some points for your second message."

"And while you got compensation, you also gave me what I wanted."

"That way, we're a win-win, and that's the nature of the deal."

Qin Ran said with a smile.

"That depends on what kind of news you want to ask."

The proprietress of the tavern was not confused by Qin Ran's words at all.

If Qin Ran doesn't give some really valuable news, she won't be moved by it.

Facing the eyes of the proprietress of the tavern, Qin Ran thought for a while before speaking—

"After entering Tier 5..."

"Are you impulsive?"

Then, Kieran saw that long and narrow weapon that looked like a kitchen knife appeared in the hand of the proprietress of the tavern.

"Do you want to have a few holes cut in your body?"

The proprietress of the tavern asked solemnly.

"In no mood."

"It seems that you don't know this information."

Qin Ran smiled.

He knew that this time he had the initiative in the negotiation.

The proprietress of the tavern did not experience anything similar to when he faced the unknown fragment that looked like a hilt from the Church of Dawn, the [Ancilanco Codex], and the unknown gold coin, as well as [Fenrir's Crown] and the key. impulsiveness.

It can also be said that the proprietress of the tavern did not obtain similar item props.

or…

It's different after breaking through to level 5 mental attributes!

Qin Ran guessed from the bottom of his heart, but the tone of the tavern proprietress who was holding a kitchen knife in front of her became more and more fierce.

"I need an explanation!"

Facing such a tavern proprietress, Qin Ran smiled.

The other party's emotions and momentum are very realistic.

But unfortunately, these were all within his expectations.

The proprietress of the tavern is not a generous and kind person. Although the other party keeps saying that he is a miser, why is the other party not

A Scrooge has no fond memories of his dealings with a Scrooge.

But one thing is nothing to worry about.

They will abide by the agreement.

Because, only in this way, their existing property will not suffer "loss", and the scope of this "existing" naturally includes what they have seen, but have not really taken it into their hands.

"contract."

Qin Ran took the time to remind the other party.

"It's really troublesome to do business with you."

The tavern proprietress immediately lost her temper.

Knowing that she didn't scare Qin Ran, she shook her hand, and the slender kitchen knife disappeared, and Qin Ran's eyes were fixed.

He could roughly see that the weapon should be stored in the sleeve, but he didn't understand how it was stored.

It's not that I didn't see clearly.

I don't understand.

"A special technique?"

"Is it a certain skill?"

"still… "

"From reality?"

Qin Ran secretly guessed.

"Are you interested in this knife-receiving technique?"

"How about paying for that information I don't know about?"

The proprietress of the tavern gave a new proposal in a timely manner, but Qin Ran didn't seem to be moved at all, and just looked at him like that.

This knife closing technique is amazing.

but!

His best weapon is: two-handed sword!

A slender kitchen knife can be tucked up a sleeve, but what about a two-handed sword

Unless you have a giant body.

or…

Such techniques involve the secrecy of space.

But is it possible

The answer is self-evident.

So, soon, the proprietress of the tavern raised her hands high.

"Everyone is different after entering the fifth level, because the attributes they break through are different!"

"Every attribute will have a different path after reaching 5-!"

"But according to my research, in the final analysis, the five attributes still have one thing in common: grinding!"

"Through continuous sharpening, we will improve again!"

"For example, my physique is my physique, so I can try to start with physical strength and combat resistance, and choose the path that suits me best."

The tavern proprietress began to tell what she knew.

"anything else?"

"Is there no difference between such a prompt and none?"

Qin Ran is not satisfied with something that he can guess at will, what he needs is more specific.

"Do you know the power of faith?"

asked the tavern proprietress.

"Um."

Qin Ran nodded.

He has been slightly exposed to these.

Not a stranger.

"You broke through the spiritual attribute, right?"

There is no need to hide this, Kieran nodded again.

"Then do you know why spiritually powerful people are called 'chosen ones'?"

the tavern proprietress asked again.

"Could it be..."

Qin Ran frowned, and had a guess in his mind.

"They can use the 'power of faith' after reaching a certain level."

"There has been such a rumor circulating in a small circle in the huge city before: Why is the witch so powerful?"

"Because she can devour other people's fear."

"Of course, whether it's true or not, I don't know."

Saying that, the proprietress of the tavern shrugged her shoulders.

The power of faith

Chosen One

Devour

Inexplicably, Kieran once again thought of the impulsive feeling when facing those special props, as if facing delicious food.

seem…

Such rumors are not groundless.

But there must be secrets in it that he doesn't know.

Qin Ran sat there thinking quietly.

The proprietress of the tavern didn't bother Qin Ran.

Instead wait.

She is very optimistic about Qin Ran, there is no doubt about it.

Coupled with the relationship between Qin Ran and Lawlessness, she has long regarded the other party as her own, otherwise, she would not have revealed this secret that only a few people know.

She hoped that Qin Ran could get more.

After a few minutes, Qin Ran rubbed his swollen temples and raised his head.

He needs more information.

Otherwise it is impossible to judge at all.

Therefore, he simply told the information that the old woman in the tavern did not know.

Not only because of the contract, but also because he knows a good basis for cooperation, there is the possibility of subsequent development.

"Have an urge to 'eat' certain props?"

After pondering for a moment, the proprietress of the tavern raised her head and said: "I need to find a guy to confirm it personally. After I get rid of the weak state, as compensation for this period of time, after I get the corresponding information, I will tell you what I have said. Everything that can be known.”

"Can."

Qin Ran did not object.

He didn't ask who the other party was looking for for confirmation.

Not to mention the so-called pleasantries, after Qin Ran waved his hand at the other party, he got up and left the small hall.

As soon as he left the small hall, Kieran saw Lawless waiting at the bar.

His friend pointed at him very discreetly at a table not far away.

Paul, sitting there.

The body is full of dead silence.
