Chapter 1419 Sharpening the Knife

When J. Perelman faced Kieran's question, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment, as if he was suppressing something.

After a full two or three seconds, he informed Kieran via private message.

J. Perelman: We are being hunted.

2567: Hunting?

2567: Free Alliance?

…

Kieran's eyes paused for a moment on the word 'hunting'. In order to confirm, he asked a rhetorical question. But this time, J. Perelman did not hesitate, nodded simply, and began to send a detailed private message. Narrating.

J. Perelman: About a week ago, people started dying in the Liberty League.

J. Perelman: At first, we didn’t care. After all, although the death probability of initiates in the dungeon world is very low, it is not impossible. But soon, we discovered something was wrong: those who died The partner is not in the dungeon world!

J. Perelman: Because one of our partners had just completed the dungeon world and sent us a celebration invitation, and then... he was killed on the way from the Free Alliance headquarters.

J. Perelman: At this time, we discovered that three official members had died in just one week, and we were also convinced that someone was targeting the Freedom Alliance.

…

While describing it to Kieran, the solemnity in J. Perelman's eyes became more and more obvious.

"Tell me everything."

"Including your subsequent response measures."

Qin Ran said softly.

Although the Freedom Alliance is a loose organization, Kieran believes that no organization will ignore the killing of its members.

Not to mention an organization like the Freedom Alliance, which only has about 10 official members.

"Um."

J. Perelman nodded and still informed Kieran via private message.

J. Perelman: When we discovered something was wrong, we immediately set up a trap and prepared to catch the guy. But unfortunately, the guy seemed to be aware of it and was not fooled at all. Not only that, as if to provoke us, when After we lost our patience, the guy showed up again, killed one of our official members, and left a note.

…

J. Perelman, who mentioned the note, proposed a deal and showed it to Kieran.

A very ordinary piece of paper, probably torn from a notebook, with a pen clearly written on it: No. 4.

J. Perelman: We were angry, but more frightened. The guy obviously had no intention of giving up.

J. Perelman: Because our partner has always been known for his defense among us, and because of this, he volunteered to serve as a bait, but it only took less than a minute from the time he was killed to the time we appeared. Time, and more importantly, left no trace at the scene.

J. Perelman: We judged that the strength of that guy was beyond the scope of our response, so I was sent out to find help, and among the people I know, except for you, Mr. 2567, there is no one more suitable.

…

No trace left?

Kieran raised his eyebrows.

If you walk by, there will be traces!

He has always believed in this statement.

I didn't find it, I just didn't see it.

After pondering for a moment and making some guesses related to himself, Qin Ran spoke.

"Okay, I'm willing to help you."

He said this.

"real?"

"Thank you so much."

J. Perelman said in surprise.

"But the prerequisite..."

"If this matter conflicts with you and the people you care about, we will automatically give up."

No need for Kieran to finish, J. Perelman took the initiative to speak.

"And there's a reward."

Kieran will never forget what he deserves.

"[Sigal's hammer] is one of the rewards."

"Then, you can also get a piece of advanced-level equipment."

J. Perelman said immediately.

"Advanced? Not enough!"

"At least III, and I need to specify the type."

Qin Ran shook his head.

When it comes to transactions, Kieran has always been business-like.

What's more, the person in front of him was not among the friends he recognized. Qin Ran naturally knew what to do.

Of course, Kieran was not as open as the lion.

He proposed the conditions based on some information he had heard in daily life and his own analysis.

With the strength of the Freedom Alliance, it is not easy to assemble a level III item, but it is not impossible.

As for level IV?

Qin Ran shook his head.

He didn't think the Freedom Alliance had the strength.

If there is, he will bring it up.

And everything was just as Qin Ran guessed.

"This, this..."

"I need to ask Amelia."

J. Perelman was obviously not a qualified negotiator. As soon as he opened his mouth, he revealed the core information: the Freedom Alliance possesses Tier III items.

"Can."

Qin Ran nodded.

Then, under Kieran's watch, J. Perelman began to contact Amelia.

Amelia is a fairly well-known player among beginners. Apart from her own entry-level strength, it is because of her establishment of the Free Alliance.

An organization between loners and guilds.

Players who are unable to work alone and are unwilling to be too restricted by joining a guild are happy to choose an organization that can help them without being harshly restricted.

Coupled with the strong strength, the attraction is even greater.

but……

The shortcomings are also extremely obvious: lack of core!

Amelia is not the core. At most, she is a liaison like J. Perelman in front of her.

You may not see it at ordinary times, but once you encounter real trouble, the crisis will manifest.

Just like this moment.

Kieran was certain that most of the official players in the Freedom Alliance faced inexplicable hunting and were unable to do anything.

So much so that Amelia had to make the choice of ‘recruiting foreign aid’.

Otherwise, if a group of initiates get together and work together, it will be enough to make anyone timid.

About five minutes passed. J. Perelman raised his head again and said directly: "Level III is fine, but the type cannot be specified."

"Then add one more unspecified type of item of level I."

Kieran said simply.

"This this……"

"I'll ask again."

J. Perelman said in embarrassment again.

However, this time the question was asked quickly, and after a few seconds, the other party raised his head and answered in the affirmative.

"OK."

"But we need to sign a contract."

J. Perelman said with a wry smile.

"The contract states that [Sigal's Hammer] is an advance payment."

Qin Ran gestured.

"certainly."

J. Perelman immediately drafted the contract, and after Kieran confirmed it was correct, he signed the names of both parties.

When the contract was signed, J. Perelman was visibly relieved.

"When do we start?"

the other party asked.

"Hold on!"

"I'll come as soon as I go!"

Kieran said as he stood up and walked towards the small hall.

The sooner things that can increase his strength are completed, the better it will be for Kieran.

"Be careful."

As she passed by Rachel, the tavern proprietress reminded her in a low voice.

"I hope it's what you guessed."

"After all, I've been waiting for a long time!"

Qin Ran smiled and answered in the same low voice. After speaking, Qin Ran quickened his pace.

Looking at the direction in which Kieran disappeared, the tavern proprietress couldn't help but sigh for Kieran's enemy.

A powerful enemy is not scary.

The scary thing is that this powerful enemy is cautious, calm, and... small-minded.

"Have a nice day."

Picking up the empty wine glass on the bar, the tavern owner's wife raised the glass. Then, the tavern owner's wife thought of something and raised her glass to J. Perelman.

Respect, poor honest man.
