Chapter 571 The Brew of Osiris
Harvest Tavern, a gathering place for some loners among the players.
Before entering the next dungeon world, the lone traveler will exchange the loot obtained from the previous dungeon world here. Most of the time it is a scattered transaction, and occasionally a high-quality goods will form a large-scale transaction.
Of course, it would be an exception if the 'Alchemist' Flamel appeared.
However, the wine-loving 'alchemist' did not show up today.
Lawless, who often nestled in the tavern, was not there. After casually sending a private message to Lawless, Kieran glanced at the tavern with few customers.
The proprietress Rachel was standing behind the bar and was carefully wiping the wine glass. Her blond hair was shining brightly under the spotlights, reflecting the purple overalls and white meditation, making her look extremely energetic, capable and unique.
However, the solo travelers who often come here know the true face of the proprietress, and none of them dared to take a second look. They all lowered their heads and went about their own business.
Therefore, they did not see Rachel's loss of consciousness after Qin Ran walked in.
"crow……"
A murmur as light as a mosquito sounded.
Rachel stared blankly at Qin Ran.
The black figure, the fire crow on the left shoulder began to overlap and merge with the figure she had never forgotten in her heart.
"Hey, Rachel!"
Qin Ran raised his hand in greeting.
"Um!"
After Rachel responded, she bowed her head in silence, seemingly wiping her wine glass, but the white velvet towel stopped turning completely.
Then, Rachel turned around and turned her back to Qin Ran.
Wet spots appeared on the white fleece.
Qin Ran touched the tip of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
It is different from being unscrupulous when dealing with lawlessness.
Although Qin Ran also admits to regard Rachel as his friend, it may be that men and women are different, and it is always impossible to be as natural as lawless.
Moreover, Qin Ran was not good at such scenes.
So, he walked directly to Levin in the corner.
"Nice follower!"
Levin looked at the Fire Crow on Qin Ran's shoulder, and said this after a while.
This was the first sentence the other party said after Qin Ran sat down.
"Where is the person who sold the follower contract?"
Qin Ran asked very simply.
After entering the Harvest Tavern, he glanced at it.
Apart from Levine, there are a few loners, but none of them released screenshots of items or props.
"There!"
After pointing to another corner of the tavern with careless words, Levin lowered his head and stroked the cat in his arms.
Kieran had observed the cat.
It should be the stray cats and dogs that can be seen everywhere in the huge city, and there is nothing unusual about it.
Seeing Wright who was not going to speak anymore, after gaining a deeper understanding of the other party's title of "loner", Kieran signaled to the other party, and walked towards another corner of the tavern regardless of whether the other party saw it or not.
Harvest Tavern is not big.
It's just a few strides to go from one corner to another.
Qin Ran walked to this corner, pulled out his chair, sat down, and asked directly.
"Do you have a entourage contract?"
"Um."
The player on the opposite side nodded and displayed a screenshot.
[Name: Follower Contract]
[Type: Contract]
[Quality: Magic]
[Attribute: Sign a life that conforms to the rules (excluding aborigines) to be your follower and fight side by side with you]
【Requirement: None】
[Remarks: You can choose at will within the rules, cats are fine, dogs are fine, and birds are fine—as long as you are not afraid of their death! 】
...
Below the screenshot is the price tag: 100,000.
average price in a market.
Qin Ran glanced at the [Follower Contract], and after proposing a deal, he turned his attention to the player in front of him.
Camouflage bulletproof vest, with a large pistol at the waist, not sure what type it is, but it should be a special one, inside the vest is a military shirt, the trousers are also multifunctional military trousers, and on the feet are a pair of military boots.
If it weren't for the pistol, the person in front of him would look like a novice player who purchased a 'suit' from the system store.
"Camouflage? Or does it have other functions that I don't know?"
After the habitual evaluation, Kieran guessed.
But what surprised Qin Ran was that the other party rejected the deal.
"2567?"
asked the other party.
Even though the system covered his face, from the tone of his voice, Kieran could hear the disdain in the other party's words.
Qin Ran raised his eyebrows, but did not answer, and looked at the other party quietly.
"I, the General, will not sell anything to a guy related to that lawless bastard!"
The other party said so.
General?
Qin Ran concentrated on thinking, and the next moment, he thought of what Lawless had said.
'General? '
'Is this bastard who always steals business from me still alive? '
'That guy is my competitor in the 'mercenary business', his strength is average, and his reputation... is still guaranteed! '
...
As soon as these words came to mind, Kieran knew that this deal was dead.
Lawlessness is not a saint.
There are also friends and enemies.
He and lawlessness are friends, and although the general in front of him is not an enemy of lawlessness, he is an absolute competitor.
Although the two hadn't reached the point of fighting, the cynicism between them was unavoidable.
An enemy of an enemy can become a friend.
So what will be the friend's competition?
enemy!
There is almost no doubt about it.
Qin Ran got up and left without hesitation.
As for staying and continuing to trade with the other party?
Qin Ran had never thought about such a thing.
While enjoying the convenience provided by lawlessness, he also hopes that lawlessness' competitors will speak well of him.
Qin Ran was not so naive.
Not so thick-skinned.
The deal was not concluded, and Qin Ran didn't plan to stay in the Harvest Tavern for a long time. After saying hello to Rachel, Qin Ran was ready to leave.
But before Qin Ran could say goodbye, Rachel put a glass of wine in front of him.
【Name: Orange Light Solante】
【Type: Liquor】
[Quality: Fresh]
[Attributes: within 10 seconds, restore 100 points of health, physical strength recovery speed +100%]
【Requirement: None】
[Remarks: This is a special cocktail made by the player 'Rachel'. It tastes extraordinary and has a special effect! 】
...
Picking up the wine in front of him, Qin Ran looked at Rachel in confusion.
"Drink it!"
"It's good for you!"
Rachel said lightly.
"Do I have a choice?"
Qin Ran raised his glass with a smile.
Qin Ran, who has experienced it several times, knows very well that when Rachel speaks in such a calm tone, that is when the other party is most serious.
At this time, it is best to cooperate.
What's more, Kieran believed that Rachel would not harm him.
So, Qin Ran drank it all in one gulp.
The wine in the glass smelled a little pungent, but it tasted sweet and sour, not as spicy as he imagined.
"It's kind of like fruit..."
Before he could say the last word 'juice', Qin Ran fell headfirst on the bar counter, and the sound of snoring began to reverberate.
The moment Qin Ran fell asleep.
The system prompt appeared.
[The player drank the brew of Osiris...]
