The Devil’s Cage Chapter 15: Honing the knife


J.Peroma faced Kieran's inquiry and didn't answer it the first time, but pondered for a moment, as if he was suppressing something.

Full two or three seconds later, this is used to inform Kieran with PM.

J.Peroma: We are being hunted.

2567: Hunting?

2567: Free Alliance?

......

Kieran's gaze paused for a while on the word'hunting'. In order to confirm, he issued a rhetorical question, and this time, J.Peroma did not hesitate, nodded very simply, and began to use PM detailed description With.

J.Peroma: About a week ago, some people began to die in Free Alliance.

J.Peroma: At first, we didn’t care. After all, the probability of death of Advanced Ranker in Dungeon World is very low, but it’s not without it. But soon, we found something wrong: those dead partners did not Not in Dungeon World!

J.Peroma: Because, one of the partners just finished Dungeon World, and sent us an invitation to celebrate, then... he was killed, on the way to Free Alliance headquarters.

J.Peroma: At this time, we found that three official members died in just one week, and we are also convinced that someone is staring at Free Alliance.

......

One side described to Kieran that the weight in J.Peroma's eyes became more obvious.

"Tell me all."

"Including your subsequent response measures."

Kieran said softly.

Although Free Alliance is a loose organization, Kieran believes that no organization will ignore its members being killed.

Not to mention that it is similar to Free Alliance, with an official membership of more than 10 people.

"Uh."

J.Peroma nodded and still told Kieran with PM.

J.Peroma: When we found something wrong, we immediately set up a trap to prepare to catch the guy, but unfortunately, the guy seemed to be aware that he was not fooled at all. Not only that, it was as if to provoke us. After we lost patience, the guy appeared again, killed one of our regular members, and left a note.

......

J.Peroma, who mentioned the note, proposed a transaction and showed it to Kieran.

A very common piece of paper, which should be torn from a notebook, and rested clearly with a pen: the fourth.

J.Peroma: We are very Wrath, but more terrified, the guy obviously didn’t mean to stop.

J.Peroma: Because, our that person partner has always been known as a defensive among us, and because of this, he volunteered to act as a decoy, and it only took less than a minute from his killing to our appearance. And, more importantly, no traces were left on the scene.

J.Peroma: We judge that the strength of the guy is beyond our response, so I was sent out to find assistance, and among the people I know, except for Your Excellency 2567, no one is more suitable.

......

No traces left?

Kieran raised an eyebrow.

Walk past, there must be traces!

He has always believed in this sentence.

Not found, just not seen.

After a little deep thought, after making some speculations related to himself, Kieran spoke.

"Yes, I am willing to help you."

He said so.

"Really?"

"Thank you so much."

J.Peroma said in surprise.

"But the prerequisites..."

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

J.Peroma doesn't need to finish talking about Kieran.

"There is still compensation."

Kieran will never forget what it deserves.

"[Siegel's Hammer] is one of the rewards."

"Then you can also get a piece of Advanced Rank equipment."

J.Peroma said immediately.

"Advanced? Not enough!"

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

Kieran shook his head.

For trading, Kieran has always been public.

Not to mention, the person in front of him is not within the range of friends he recognizes. What to do, Kieran naturally knows.

Of course, Kieran also has no big lion opening.

Based on some of the information he usually heard, he synthesized the conditions after his analysis.

With the strength of Free Alliance, it is not easy, but it is not impossible to make up a stage III item.

As for Tier IV?

Kieran shook his head.

He does not think that Free Alliance has this strength.

If there is, he will propose it.

And everything is as Kieran guessed.

"This, this..."

"I need to ask Amelia."

J.Peroma is obviously not a qualified negotiator. As soon as he opened his mouth, he revealed the core information: Free Alliance has a level III item.

"Yes."

Kieran nodded.

Then, under the watch of Kieran, J.Peroma began to contact Amelia that person.

Amelia is a famous Player in Advanced Ranker. Except for his strength of Advanced, it is because he established Free Alliance.

An organization between loner and the Guild.

Players who are unable to walk alone and are unwilling to join the guild are too constrained. They are happy to choose an organization that can help themselves without being constrained.

In addition to its weak strength, it is more attractive.

But...

The shortcomings are also very obvious: lack of core!

Amelia is not the core, at most it is just like the J.Peroma in front of her, and is a liaison.

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

It's like this at the moment.

Kieran can be sure that the official Player in Free Alliance face inexplicable hunting, most of them are not working hard.

So that Amelia had to make a choice of ‘please help foreigners’.

Otherwise, a group of Advanced Ranker put together, if they work together, it is enough to make anyone cowardly.

After about five minutes have passed, J.Peroma raised his head again~IndoMTL.com~ said directly: "Tier III can, but the type cannot be specified."

"Then add another item of unspecified type I."

Kieran said very simply.

"This, this..."

"I will ask again."

J.Peroma said embarrassed again.

However, this time the inquiry was quick. After a few seconds, the other party raised his head and gave a positive answer.

"Okay."

"But we need to sign a contract."

J.Peroma smiled bitterly.

"Mark [Siegel's Hammer] in the contract is the advance payment."

Kieran signaled.

"Of course."

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

When the contract was signed, J.Peroma was obviously relieved.

"When do we start?"

The other party asked.

"Wait!"

"I will go as soon as I go!"

Kieran said to stand up and walk towards the small hall.

The sooner some things that can increase strength are completed, the more beneficial for Kieran.

"Be careful."

When passing by Rachel, the pub owner reminded in a low voice.

"Hope is what you guessed."

"After all, I waited a long time!"

Kieran smiled and replied in the same low voice. After that, Kieran accelerated the pace.

Looking at the disappearing direction of Kieran, the proprietress of the tavern could not help sighing for the enemy of Kieran.

An enemy of formidable is not terrible.

The scary thing is that this enemy of formidable is cautious, calm, and... narrow-minded.

"Wish you a happy day."

Taking the empty wine glass on the bar, the pub owner raised her glass, and then, the pub owner who thought of something raised her glass to J.Peroma again.

King, poor honest man.
