The innkeeper quietly watched Qin Ran's hand shadow gesture, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head.
"different."
"They're soulless."
Said the innkeeper.
"soul?"
"Your is just an ordinary hand shadow play, and it doesn't have a soul?"
Pol was taken aback.
Cough, cough.
The innkeeper coughed a few times. It was the first time he found Boll so annoying that he didn't even know how to talk. How did you become a businessman
I'm afraid you didn't buy your reputation and business qualifications, did you
Under the innkeeper's stare, Pohl scratched his cheek embarrassingly, and stopped talking.
The innkeeper looked at Qin Ran again.
"Do you think I'm lying to you?"
The innkeeper asked, and then, without waiting for Qin Ran to speak, he continued, "Sometimes, if you can't see it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If you have enough talent, you should be able to see it. "
"I thought you could see it too."
"Unfortunately… "
As he spoke, the innkeeper shook his head regretfully, as if regretting something.
Pol didn't speak.
But Bohr thought from the bottom of his heart that it was Horuf who was cheating.
When he was in Morsa on the border, he had seen similar means.
Some people also call themselves demon hunters, and some simply say that they are demigods. Then, using this kind of mysterious words as the beginning, they talk about a series of things that you should worry about, but in the end, they will all transfer to Enter Kimpton.
Simply put: Kimpton is a one-size-fits-all solution.
To sum it up, it is: I, bluff you, play money.
There is no middleman to make the difference.
Of course, Holluf is different.
At least, Horuf should be a liar with some skills.
Otherwise, it is impossible to live to retirement.
"Boy, I can see from your eyes that you seem to be thinking about things that are very disrespectful to me. I think I need to teach you well."
Horuf looked at Bohr, and his tone became bad.
He swore that if he hadn't retired, he would have hung Boer on the city gate to blow the night breeze all night.
"Sometimes, the truth is always so hard to accept."
"I can understand the feeling of pretending to be someone else and being addicted to it-but when it's time to wake up, I still have to wake up."
"You are Horuf, not anyone else."
"Even if you used to be someone else, you are now Horuf, the owner of the Yanan Hotel, a somewhat mysterious retired old guy. I cherish a friend like you very much."
"I don't mind your past either."
Bohr slapped Horuf on the shoulder hard.
He is telling the truth.
In the first dungeon, if it wasn't for the help of the other party several times, it would have been impossible to get to the current level. Not to mention the well-known businessman of Morsa on the border, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago.
As for the kindness, Bohr always remembers it in his heart.
So, he didn't mind Horuf bragging to himself.
but…
He is not alone now.
Also with Qin Ran.
A guy who is terrifying enough to the extreme.
Although the other party has many titles, the 'flame demon' is the title that is most popular among the other party. What will happen if you deceive a guy who is called a 'devil'
Boer didn't think that people like Qin Ran would be patient.
Therefore, while persuading Horuf, he winked at Qin Ran.
There is a hint of pleading in his eyes.
He doesn't want to lose a friend.
But to Boer's surprise, Kieran didn't pay attention to him at all. Instead, he stared at the wall where Horufbi drew the shadow of a wolf just now.
Kieran's strangeness naturally caught Horuf's attention.
The innkeeper slapped Boer's palm away, with suspicion in his eyes.
"What do you see?"
An innkeeper who has learned a lesson does not want his excitement to be exchanged for "I am very good at shadow play, not only wolves, but you see I can also doves, foxes and snakes." 's answer.
However, in order to confirm, the innkeeper once again put on the shadow of a wolf.
"Maybe your hands are a little fat."
"It looks bloated."
"Like Alaska."
Qin Ran replied sincerely.
Bohr got the prompt, looked at it carefully, and nodded seriously.
"alike!"
Ball agreed.
Horuf: …
Horuf swore that if he hadn't retired, he would hang these two guys together on the city gate to blow the night wind for two nights.
breathe!
breathe!
After several deep breaths, Horuf finally stopped entangled in this issue.
He could tell that the two people in front of him did it on purpose.
I deliberately didn't pick up his stubble.
As for why
There is no doubt that the necessary trust is still lacking on both sides.
Even if he thinks unilaterally, both parties can be trusted.
But the two people in front of them were not like this.
He is not familiar with Colin, he does not know.
The indifference and silence on the other party's face also made it difficult for him to grasp, but Boer is very familiar with him. Look at Boer with an embarrassed smile and an apologetic face. If he didn't know the other party's family history, he would have I was deceived.
asshole!
When he thought of being teased by the other party, Horuf felt uncomfortable.
He talked with the other party with the mentality of leaving a last word.
But not trusted
What a pain.
The uncomfortable innkeeper's voice became cold.
"You want to know 'Miss Calamity'?"
"I have some exclusive news."
"However, you must understand that the information of a god is not so cheap."
"Rich?"
Qin Ran asked straightforwardly.
"5000 Kimpton!"
The innkeeper quoted a price.
Qin Ran turned to look directly at Boer.
He doesn't have enough money.
"How many?"
Pol asked stammeringly.
You know, he bought the title with only 3,000 Kimptons, and he, a well-known businessman in Morsa on the border, added up to almost 5,000 Kimptons.
on purpose!
Horuf did it on purpose!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to just pinch all of his wealth!
Bolton suddenly guessed something, and immediately looked pitifully at the innkeeper.
He doesn't look like this either, but he can't help himself, the 'flame demon' is in charge now, he just obeys orders, why make things difficult for him
The words in his heart made Bohr feel even more pitiful.
Unfortunately, the innkeeper ignored Pol at all.
"No credit."
"Cash is required."
Horuf held his shoulders and raised his chin.
Pohl gave a wry smile, and then began to take off his shoes.
Under the insole, he found a money order.
It has the number 5000 on it.
Then, the money order that exuded a smell was placed on the table by Boer.
Looking at the money order, Horuf looked at Bohr in surprise.
"The disappearance of several horse bandits on the border has something to do with you?"
The words are questionable, but the tone is extremely certain.
The innkeeper began to take another look at the little businessman he thought he knew.
And Kieran
Still sitting there with a blank face, not pretending to be a gesture, but really knowing that when he met Boer for the first time, Kieran noticed the abnormal noise in the other's boots, and that unique belonging The breath of coins, although it is impossible to determine how much, but Qin Ran's intuition tells that it should be a lot of money.
Kieran trusted his intuition very much.
This time is no exception.
So, he chose fair trade.
After being silent for about two seconds, Horuf picked up the smelly money order, and said intuitively:
"'Miss Calamity' is weirder and more mysterious than you think."
"He is definitely not the god enshrined in that small town."
"It's not the evil around you."
"However, the 'black disaster' did come because of the other party."
"Similarly, we demon hunters also died on a large scale because of the 'black disaster', even though we didn't intend to pursue the 'black disaster' in the first place."
In the slightly convoluted words, an imperceptible sadness appeared on the innkeeper's face.
Qin Ran and Boer did not speak, but listened quietly.
However, the innkeeper did not speak directly.
"Do you know the 'Quiet Night Secret Order'?"
asked the other party.
Qin Ran shook his head, he didn't know much about the dungeon world in front of him.
Although Bohr has experienced it once, he has never been in contact with an organization that is too secretive, so he also shook his head.
"It's an organization with a long history."
"It existed before Aitandine I established the empire."
"Even, according to the secrets of the demon hunter world, it was Aitantine I who unified the Northland because of its help."
"Such secrets are true and credible, not rumors."
"As for why it helped Aitandine I?"
"I don't know either, and no one among the witchers knows."
"But we are very clear why this organization suddenly assassinated Aitantine I."
"What?"
Pol exclaimed.
He knew it was impolite, but he really couldn't restrain his surprise.
Different from Qin Ran's ignorance, Boer, who had stayed here for a while, clearly knew the meaning of Aitantine I.
Strong enough to slay dragons.
Great enough to build empires.
People from different duchies gathered under his command, and some of these people were even feuds, but under the influence of Aitantine I's personality charm, they all gave up their grudges and devoted themselves to the emperor's command.
And, not only that.
According to the rumors, at that time, the Northland was a hundred kingdoms fighting for hegemony, and Eitandine was just a small nobleman in the countryside. Not only did he lose his fief when he was an adult, but he was also expelled from the principality where he was located, and he went into exile in the current Eitandinople. At that time, Eitantinople was also called Eddieburg, and it was the territory of a grand duke.
After arriving in Edinburgh, Aitantine had already planned to survive hard, but just when the emperor was about to manage some lowly jobs to make ends meet, the Grand Duke Abide summoned him and sent his only daughter Married him, and then, one month after he married the daughter of the Grand Duke, the Grand Duke Abet fell ill and died.
Then, several surrounding principalities found an opportunity to take advantage of it, and immediately formed a coalition of 30,000 troops and rushed towards Eddieburg.
The grand duke was newly mourned, and the grand duchess's daughter inherited the title, but the undercurrents in the dukedom were turbulent. The grand duchess was struggling to deal with the civil strife, but the foreign enemy was in front of him. At this time, the husband of the grand duchess, Aitandin, stepped forward and led 100 cavalry Out of town.
Aitandin intends to negotiate peace with the coalition forces, delaying the time as much as possible.
But the moment Aitandin appeared in front of the coalition forces, a meteor fell from the sky.
30,000 coalition forces were annihilated in ashes.
Several grand dukes in the coalition army also died together.
Several principalities of the coalition forces suddenly fell into civil strife.
Instead, it was Aitandin and the Grand Duchess who quickly quelled the civil strife, and then sent troops to the allied principality.
According to records, the emperor swallowed these lands without any effort, because every time he arrived at a city, the city would surrender, and all the people would be infected by the charm of the emperor, and they would open their doors and kneel to welcome them.
All the way to the unification of Hokuriku.
Aside from the best assassinations, the life of Eitandine I was nothing short of legendary.
"Eitandine I was assassinated by the 'Secret Order of Silent Night'?!"
"etc!"
"Aitantine I, who was in his prime at the time, was preparing to crusade against the south, and the 'black disaster' came from the south... Could it be?"
Pole guessed, staring at the innkeeper with flickering eyes.
"Similar to your guess."
"Wherever you walk, there must be traces."
"When the 'Black Calamity' appeared, the demon hunters found such traces, so everyone organized to find out."
"result?"
Horuf smiled and did not continue.
But the sadness in the laughter is self-evident.
It is not a rumor, but a fact that the demon hunters were killed and injured while investigating the 'Black Calamity'.
Many people even believe that the demon hunters are already extinct.
"If it is said that the Quiet Night Secret Order led all this, they did it for..."
Pol frowned slightly.
He thought of something more.
After the 'Black Calamity', the entire Aitandine Empire almost collapsed.
The God of War, who was very active decades ago, has almost disappeared.
And the sudden "Ms. Calamity" is a flash of light.
The answer is obvious.
Make God!
No!
Yes, Fengshen!
Use all of these to shape the image of 'Miss Calamity'.
Thinking of this, Bohr was shocked.
Because, he thought of all the evils and mysteries that happened in Hokuriku after the appearance of 'Ms. Calamity'.
Obviously, the 'Secret Order of Quiet Night' is definitely not just to create a 'Miss Calamity'.
Subconsciously, Bohr looked at Qin Ran.
He hoped to get a more accurate answer from Qin Ran.
But to Boer's disappointment, Kieran remained expressionless.
Boer believed that Kieran should be able to guess all this from Horuf's words, but such a calm
Did the 'flame demon' know in advance
impossible!
Bohr wanted to shake his head, but immediately he thought of the strange appearance of the other party.
Then, inexplicably, he thought of the 'fog giant' again.
Think of the flames falling from the sky.
Thought of the "Miss Calamity" God.
When these were linked together, Boer's gaze at Qin Ran changed.
Become cautious, fearful, and worried.
It's like a rabbit seeing a tiger.
Horuf didn't notice this look, he continued talking.
"Yeah, almost all of us demon hunters were killed or injured."
"What remains are the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled."
"The only good thing is that some training bases are well preserved, so that we won't break the inheritance, and that 'Ms. Calamity'?"
"He hasn't had a good time."
"The gift we have prepared has prevented him from becoming a god in the true sense until now!"
"But we are destined to be unable to completely cut off his becoming a god, we can only delay time."
"And that time is coming to an end."
"So, we need help."
"It's not free, the accumulation of thousands of years of demon hunters, and the chance to become a god will all be rewards!"
As he spoke, the innkeeper looked at Qin Ran sincerely.
After Kieran nodded his head to express his understanding, he said bluntly—
"I reject."
