Chapter 310 Answer

Qin Ran got out of the car and walked slowly in front of that figure.

The other party was a short but extremely strong old man with a big white beard. If he held a battle ax in his hand, he would look like a classic dwarf image.

However, even if the opponent does not have a battle ax in his hand, but only has a dagger at his waist, he still cannot be underestimated.

That dagger gave Kieran a sense of danger.

Faintly, lightly.

It seems that it is about to disappear, but it is clearly visible in the next moment.

With the improvement of perception attribute level, Kieran believed in his perception.

Therefore, he became more and more cautious.

While Qin Ran was looking at the other party, the other party was also looking at Qin Ran.

Then, grin.

"2567?"

asked the other party.

"Who are you?"

Qin Ran, who was called out by his nickname, was not surprised at all.

If the other party has malicious intentions, he must have come prepared. Knowing his nickname is a basic.

"Charles."

"Your leather tinker, friend of Simmons."

The other party introduced himself and extended his right hand.

Qin Ran raised his eyebrows.

Simmons once said that he would find him a leather tinker who was also a master of alchemy, but Simmons did not describe him in detail.

Therefore, Qin Ran couldn't confirm whether the other party was real or not.

So, Qin Ran didn't reach out.

"Prudent young man!"

"Is there Raul with you?"

"Raul? Raul?"

The other party commented on Qin Ran in this way, and then asked a question, but before waiting for Qin Ran's answer, he shouted directly.

Moreover, I immediately got a response from Raul.

"Master Charles?"

With questions, Raul came to Qin Ran's side. When he saw the short old man, he immediately gave him a joyful hug.

"Master, long time no see."

"Why are you in Johnnytown?"

"I thought I had to go back to the West Coast again to see you!"

After Raul greeted, he asked suspiciously.

"Of course it was that fellow Simmons who called me and urged me to find you quickly - he was too worried that 2567 didn't have a piece of qualified armor, and he also thought that I could help you on this trip, so I came here early Here we are waiting for you."

"However, it looks like you guys are in big trouble for being late!"

The old man glanced at the approaching car that was full of scars and was about to fall apart, and laughed.

"yes!"

"At that time, it was really thrilling!"

Raul immediately nodded again and again, talking about the ambush that happened before.

Qin Ran glanced at Raul in surprise.

Perhaps because of the encounters and scars on his body, Raul has always been silent, and most of the time he relies on his husband Sidney to communicate with others.

Only when I meet acquaintances or when necessary, I will say a few more words.

But that's all.

It was the first time for Qin Ran to have such a cordial communication with Charles.

"You're all curious, aren't you?"

"Actually, I was surprised at first too, but that's a good thing, isn't it?"

"Although Master Charles does not admit it, Raul has always regarded the master as his teacher."

Sidney came over and explained softly.

Qin Ran and Shi Qi suddenly nodded.

Raul's narration was very detailed and lasted about ten minutes. During this period, Charles asked for some details from time to time, and Raul added them one by one.

"It really is ancient alchemy!"

Finally, Charles sighed like this.

"Ancient alchemy?"

It was not the first time Shi Qi heard this term, and muttered.

"You must be Sheriff Scott of the West Coast?"

The old man didn't answer, but guessed Shi Qi's identity with a smile.

"Yes, it is an honor to meet you, Master Charles."

Shi Qi nodded and greeted the old man.

"Now?"

The old man turned his head to look at Qin Ran, and stretched out his hand again, his eyes were full of ridicule.

"Nice to meet you, Master Charles."

Qin Ran looked calm, and even shook his right hand with a smile, which caused surprise to appear in Charles' eyes.

"Aren't you embarrassed?"

asked Charles.

"I didn't know your identity before, and I had the necessary vigilance. Now that I have confirmed your identity, it proves that my vigilance is unnecessary. Why am I embarrassed?"

Qin Ran asked back.

For Qin Ran, who grew up in an orphanage and started working to survive at the age of fourteen.

He has experienced too many embarrassing and embarrassing things.

Compared with it, the things in front of me are really nothing.

"As expected of the person Lei predicted... Are you embarrassing?"

Charles admired, and then he noticed the unnaturalness on Qin Ran's face.

"2567, until now I still can't accept my identity, always shy like a little girl... Hahaha, 2567, I'm not laughing at you, but every time I see your expression, I can't help it Already!"

With hearty laughter, Shi Qi kept patting the hood of the pickup truck.

The pickup truck, which was about to fall apart, completely broke down under such beatings.

laugh!

Not only did the engine go off, but a dark shadow emerged from under the hood.

Qin Ran rolled his eyes and looked at Shi Qi.

This time it was Shi Qi's turn to be embarrassed.

"There will be a car repair shop in town!"

Shi Qi emphasized, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Don't be so troublesome, come with me!"

"Thanks to this progressive era. I remember that when I was young, I still traveled on horseback. Every time I needed to bring several horses to be able to bring everything I wanted, but now?"

"One car will do it!"

While talking, Charles led the crowd into the town.

An RV parked there, towed by a pickup truck.

The RV is light blue overall, the roof and four corners are arc-shaped, white clouds are painted on one side of the car wall, and behind the car is a sun like a child's graffiti, wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigar.

Anyone who sees this RV can't help but guess whether the owner of the RV is a person who has no sense of seriousness and is full of humor.

"If there is no problem, how about we set off overnight?"

Charles suggested.

"certainly."

No one would object, and everyone was eager to reach Floodtown.

The Lauers are looking for their good friend Lu Qi.

Kieran wanted to confirm the whereabouts of Nicolei.

And Shi Qi?

Completely with everyone.

After transferring the contents of the original car to Charles' car, everyone set off again.

Because of repairing the leather armor, Qin Ran was invited by Charles to the RV.

"It's not a big problem. It can be repaired before arriving in Frode Town."

Charles' words made Qin Ran heave a sigh of relief.

Although the defensive power of [Paul's Secret] is not outstanding, until Kieran has no more suitable armor, the opponent is irreplaceable.

When facing many enemies, having a layer of defense on the body and relying on one's own muscles to fight hard are two completely different concepts.

Especially hordes of enemies.

Subconsciously, Kieran thought of those black knights again.

"Master Charles, are those black knights also made by ancient alchemy?"

Qin Ran asked.

"It is mainly based on ancient alchemy, and also mixed with some other extremely secret knowledge-I never thought that this knowledge has also been preserved."

Charles corrected Qin Ran.

"What knowledge?"

Qin Ran continued to ask.

Charles smiled and didn't answer.

The not tall old man took out a pipe from a drawer, stuffed the tobacco slowly, and did not look for a lighter.

With a flash of fire on the opponent's finger, the tobacco leaves were ignited.

This scene made Qin Ran narrow his eyes.

Not relying on magic props, but... magic itself?

But there was no incantation, nor any gestures, just a wave of the finger, and flames appeared.

Even though the flame was similar to that of a lighter, it still had an impact on Qin Ran who had a certain [mysterious knowledge] foundation.

Because, according to his understanding, this is impossible.

Looking at the puzzled Qin Ran, Charles took a deep breath and exhaled several smoke rings. Then, he passed through the smoke rings with his hands, and broke them up before the smoke rings dissipated.

This kind of childlike behavior is really ridiculous.

However, for Qin Ran, he was still recalling the previous scene.

"Is this the secret knowledge?"

After a while, Qin Ran asked.

"Yes, no."

Charles said ambiguously.

Then, without waiting for Qin Ran to ask another question, the alchemist said directly.

"Simmons wants me to teach you alchemy, and I really hope to be able to teach you the 'king' predicted by Lei, but..."

"You need to answer a question for me."

"What do you think alchemy is?"

"Think clearly before answering, I treat everyone equally!"

"You only have one chance. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, I won't teach you anything even with that guy Simmons' request!"

The test came up.

Qin Ran's heart shuddered.

He didn't know whether Raul had gone through such a test before being pointed out by the other party.

But he knew very well that the other party should not be joking.

If he can't answer to the satisfaction of the other party, he will definitely lose this opportunity.

Think for a moment.

Qin Ran began to answer.

"Alchemy is..."

However, just as he opened his mouth, Kieran stopped abruptly.

He swallowed all the high-sounding words, and looked at Charles in front of him with scrutiny. The smiling other party had set a trap for him since the beginning of the conversation with him.

Language trap!

Whether it is the ancient alchemy mentioned or the hidden knowledge, it is all to disturb his emotions and make him worry about gains and losses.

Undoubtedly, the other party was successful.

That hand did not use spells or gestures, directly breaking his calmness.

Make him more curious.

Almost lost the judgment of the past.

If it wasn't for the fact that there was too much teasing in the other party's expression, I am afraid that the other party has already succeeded.

Because, that's not a look looking forward to an answer at all.

but...

Look at the joke!

call!

Qin Ran took a deep breath, put the previous answer behind him, and said the current answer.

"Alchemy is..."
