The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 945 The Sheriff’s Curse

Not only the young man's face was strange, but also the townspeople, some of them pulled away from Qin Ran like snakes and scorpions.

The performance of the aborigines made Qin Ran curl up his lips.

He smelled a side mission.

But on the surface, there is a hint of doubt

"What, is there something wrong with it?"

"Or is there something going on here?"

Qin Ran pretended not to know and pointed to the letter of appointment in the young man's hand.

"Of course there is no problem with it. I can still understand the letter of appointment of the masters of Dawn City."

"Hello, Sir 2567."

"I am Vaughn, the militia captain of Gravel Town."

"It's an honor to meet the newly appointed Sheriff. You know, I have been looking forward to your appearance for a long time - the safety of Gravel Town cannot be achieved by relying on the militia alone."

As he spoke, the young man staggered the subject and stretched out his hand.

"It's an honor as well."

Qin Ran held out his hand and shook hands with the other party, and then, under the leadership of the other party, walked towards the security station in Broken Stone Town.

On the way, the other party looked at the half-breed Frostwolf cubs following Kieran's feet from time to time.

"What a great hunting dog!"

"Strong limbs, loyal to the master, and docile to those recognized by the master... Its appearance reminds me of my former partner!"

The young man praised.

"Then he must be a good dog."

Kieran said with a smile.

"certainly!"

"It's a pity that two months ago...those robbers who are more disgusting than maggots in the sewer, don't let me catch them, or I will make them understand what it means to be scary."

The young man said fiercely.

But it was just a fierce expression, without the slightest killing intent, let alone murderous intent.

Apparently, what the young man said was terrible, at best, he beat the other party and sent him to prison.

Growing up in a small town, with good strength in the small town, a young man with a heart of justice?

Immediately, Kieran gave the other party such an evaluation.

Of course, whether it is confirmed or not depends on the future.

"Vaughn, what did you look like after I said I was the sheriff?"

Qin Ran asked.

"The Sheriff of Gravel is cursed!"

"Since the sheriff Peters died in the battle with the robbers, Gravel Town has changed three sheriffs in just one year."

"The first successor fell down the stairs and broke his neck."

"The second successor was pierced through the heart by an arrow shot from the shadows."

"The third successor died in his sleep two months ago."

"You are the fourth successor."

This time the young man did not change the topic.

The other party lowered his voice first, and then started to speak with his fingers.

When he raised his fourth finger, the young man looked at Kieran.

"So, after hearing such things, are you still willing to become the Sheriff of Gravel Town?"

There was obvious temptation in the young man's words.

It's not malicious.

It's the kind of game that children often play: "Are you brave enough to go anywhere if you have the ability?"

However, the game in front of me is not a trivial matter like being scared to tears, but something truly fatal.

However, Qin Ran enjoyed it as much as he could eat it.

Because the system prompt appeared——

[Discover the side mission: The first step of the Sheriff]

[The Sheriff’s first step: As the Sheriff of Gravel Town, you need to break this ‘curse’ and re-establish the prestige of the Sheriff. 】

"certainly!"

Qin Ran nodded.

Even if there is no side mission, he will agree.

Not to mention, there are side missions.

However, the name of the side mission made Kieran subconsciously think of the [identity] he had just seen.

"A side mission based on [identity]?"

Qin Ran squinted his eyes and thought for a moment.

Until now, he couldn't determine the difficulty of the dungeon world in front of him.

And the side mission that extends from [Identity] is undoubtedly a good opportunity.

but……

Mimosa there.

Since he has such a side mission that extends from his identity, the other four players will inevitably have similar missions.

This task is not only an opportunity given by the system to players to observe the difficulty of the title copy in front of them, but it must also be a touchstone.

Those who succeed, stay.

Those who fail will be kicked out of the game.

That's right, there is no main quest in the title dungeon.

But the danger still exists.

In particular, Mimosa's risk factor is much higher than him.

Qin Ran has not forgotten that Mimosa holding the main scroll will have higher difficulty conditions than players holding the secondary scroll. Although it also has more conveniences, Mimosa's courage is limited.

Such convenience is almost non-existent.

Thinking of this, Qin Ran said to the young man leading the way: "Vaughn, can we hurry up? My dog ​​and I both need a filling dinner. It would be better if we have a soft bed. .”

"Don't worry, dinner, bed, and hot bath water are all provided!"

After Kieran agreed to become the Sheriff after hearing the Sheriff's curse, the young militia captain became more fond of Kieran.

Soon, under the leadership of the other party, Qin Ran arrived at the security station.

A two-story building with solid exterior walls and an iron fence.

"The first floor is where you, the Sheriff, have your office. Two of the rooms are where some bad guys are imprisoned. The upstairs is your private space, with a bedroom with a study and two guest rooms."

"The twenty-nine militiamen including me are considered your subordinates. I am your assistant. I will report to you on time every morning and evening what is happening in the town."

"There will be ten militiamen stationed and patrolling the town during the day, fifteen at night, and four more in reserve just in case."

The young militia captain introduced and pushed open the door of the security station.

"There are supposed to be two people keeping vigil here, but because of the curse, no one wants to come here."

"Although I stayed here for three days, nothing happened. Moreover, the gate is more important. I have to keep an eye on it."

The young man said, looking around.

It seems that he hopes to find something, but the result is destined to disappoint the other party.

There is nothing but furniture.

After lighting the candles in the police station with the torch he carried, the young militia captain said: "I'm going to get you food and bedding. If you want bath water, you have to wait a while."

"OK."

Qin Ran nodded.

The young man left quickly.

It was not big, but not too small. Only Qin Ran and the hybrid frost wolf cub were left.

The empty room suddenly became quiet.

Kieran glanced around, pulled up a chair, and sat in the lobby on the first floor of the police station. At the same time, a card appeared in his hand.

[Name: Communication Card (Main Card)]

[Type: Card]

[Quality: Magic]

[Attribute: Allows players to contact players holding secondary cards, number of uses: 3/3]

[Note: It allows you to contact freely, but it cannot break through certain restrictions]

This was one of the countermeasures Kieran and Mimosa prepared.

But before Kieran could use the [communication card], a gust of wind suddenly blew.

call!

The candle on the table went out with a pop.

The moonlight shone through the gap in the window on one side, bringing a ray of light to the dark room.

But the next moment, this ray of light also disappeared.

A shadow blocked the gap in the window.

A scarlet eye emerged from the smoke-like shadow, staring at Kieran in the room through the gap.

then……

This scarlet eye was poked blind.
