The big city.
On the street that expelled the malicious wind.
Lawless, Hanses, Coll, and Raven the Loner split up to search the area.
Unfortunately, other than confirming that Kieran and Starbeck left the area, there were no other clues.
The four of them returned to the crossroad, looked at each other, and headed back to Harvest Inn.
They hoped that the others could find something useful.
As Lawless and the others left, their eyes started to shine brightly.
Then, all of them hid in the darkness.
Although they had no idea what happened here, the aura that exploded earlier was enough to catch everyone's attention.
After all, one of the auras belonged to the Flame Emperor.
As for the other aura?
Most of them were confused.
A small portion of them were ruminating.
Only a few knew what was going on.
Alisritter, the Alisritter, was somewhere in between.
He knew a little, but not a lot.
So, he came to find his friend.
At the edge of the big city, in the barren land, Alisritter was shuttling swiftly. When he arrived at a building that looked like an unfinished building, he stopped.
The building was covered in dust and debris, and when the wind blew, the dust would fill the air.
Even a robot that operated 24 hours a day would have a hard time cleaning the place up.
All the dust and debris came from the unfinished building.
Alisritter stepped in.
Immediately, he could feel the ground tremble slightly.
The buildings around him started to expand and shrink as if they were breathing.
Countless dust and debris fell from the unfinished building, covering the ground in an instant.
Coincidentally, the wind started blowing at this moment.
Alisritter's face was covered in dust.
"Pui! Pui!
Don't move!
Is this how you greet your friend?
Don't forget, you still owe me 1024 Points! "
Alisritter shouted at the people around him since he knew what was going on.
He knew his friend was in seclusion nearby.
But as for where exactly, he had no idea.
Following Alisritter's shout, the wind stopped and a squeak came from afar.
A man in a monk's robe, his face obscured by the system, walked out.
"I've already paid you back!"
His voice was clear, like the gurgling of spring water in a mountain stream, and also like the chirping of birds in a dense forest. Even though his tone was filled with helplessness, it was still unforgettable.
The moment he finished speaking, he took a step forward. It was just a single step, but he crossed a thousand meters and appeared in front of Swordsmith Alisritter.
"Long time no see, Alisley."
The other party said.
Even though Alisritter could not see his face clearly, he knew that his friend was smiling.
As for why he was smiling?
Alisley was also very clear.
It was definitely not because she was happy to see him.
"Is it interesting?"
"You want to do this every time?"
Alisritter patted the dust off his body and rolled his eyes.
"Every time we meet, it's a new beginning."
"And every time it starts, it starts with …"
"Stop!"
"Stop it!"
"You are a fake monk! He's not a real monk! "
"Besides, a real monk wouldn't be as annoying as you are!"
Alisritter waved his hand repeatedly, telling Motionless to stop. Then, before Motionless could speak again, he said, "Madwoman No. 2 is looking for you!"
"Is it because of the aura just now?"
"I'm sorry.
I can't help. "
Motionless pointed at the direction where the malicious aura exploded and shook his head.
"Do you need me to tell her exactly what you said?"
Alisritter raised a brow.
Motionless went silent.
"Can you be more tactful?"
Motionless asked after three to four seconds.
"What do you think?"
Alisritter asked back.
"You know what I mean.
I have a contract with that guy, but I also owe Rachel a favor.
So, I can only help neither side. "
Motionless smiled bitterly.
"As I thought, you are the same.
This is all that bastard's plan!
He wants to see the situation before him! "
Alisritter said in a heavy tone.
"It can't be changed. Back then, we never thought something like this would happen. Or should I say … we never thought that a bastard would know what would happen next the moment he came into contact with this place. So, we are helpless now."
Motionless' bitter smile got heavier.
His friend's bitter smile made Alisritter curse softly.
All kinds of vulgar words escaped his mouth.
Motionless didn't stop him.
He wanted to do the same.
Unfortunately, the contract prevented him from doing so.
"Is the repulsion big?"
Alisritter asked suddenly.
"It hurts at first, but I got used to it.
Don't worry!
It's just a contract, it can bind me for a while but not forever. "
Motionless said slowly.
"Be careful, let me know if anything happens."
Alisritter tapped his friend's shoulder and left.
Motionless saw his friend off, then he turned around and went back to the small and cramped room.
He looked at the portrait of the Wisdom King with three heads and six arms sitting in the void, staring at him angrily. He slowly sat down.
Then …
Puk!
A mouthful of blood was spat out.
Motionless, who was sitting there, went limp on the floor.
"Repulsion?
Hmph. "
Motionless who went limp on the floor chuckled without a care, his posture even more relaxed and free.
However, compared to Motionless' free and relaxed posture, the people in Harvest Inn looked heavy and the atmosphere was depressing.
Lawless and the others felt the same way.
Ramont, Rhino, Lemour the Alchemist, and the newly joined Blair, Garwen, Derder the Doctor, and J. Pearlman didn't get any results.
"I've asked everyone I know, no one knows where the aura came from."
Blair sat down and opened his hands.
"It's normal.
The people around you won't recognize the aura. "
Raven the Loner spoke, which was rare for him.
"You mean to say …"
Blair, who wasn't an idiot, reacted right away.
"Other than the earliest batch of people with considerable strength, I don't think anyone else knows about the aura.
"Before the 'Witch's Calamity', this aura had appeared before."
Back then, only a few people sensed it.
But most of them didn't care because the aura back then was very weak.
Then … "
"When the Witch's Calamity broke out, everyone was attracted by that crazy woman. A lot of them forgot about the aura but some remembered it.
They thought the Witch's Calamity had something to do with the aura.
They even thought the reason why the Witch's temperament changed so much was because she came in contact with the aura. "
Lawless spoke.
Lawless didn't hide anything from his comrades.
When they heard the ciphertext, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
They thought of Kieran.
Kieran was too similar to the Witch.
Both were powerful.
Both slaughtered.
"Then, will 2567 …"
Coll's voice was filled with worry.
"He won't!
2567 won't become that crazy woman! "
Lawless said with a powerful voice.
Although he said it like that, the worry in Lawless's eyes was obvious. It made Lawless breathe heavily and his eyes were filled with madness.
Pak!
Just when the madness was about to show itself, Rachel appeared out of nowhere and slapped the back of Lawless's head.
"You are overthinking things!
Don't mislead others! "
Rachel said in an annoyed tone.
Her words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Lawless was covering the back of his head as he stared at Rachel. His face was blurred out by the system, but it was filled with anxiety.
"You guys have to be clear about one thing: the Witch's Calamity has something to do with the aura, but it wasn't the aura that caused the Witch's Calamity!
"The Witch and 2567 are completely different."
"That crazy woman is completely reckless."
2567 knows how to control himself and his bottom line.
Even with the same level of power, 2567 wouldn't slaughter others, unless … some idiot provoked him. "
Rachel said calmly.
"But …"
"But what?
"You fool!"
You can't even tell the truth from the rumor! "
Rachel said in an annoyed tone.
"Rumor?"
Lawless and the others around him were stunned by Kieran's words.
"Yeah, the rumor.
Some bastard wanted to increase his own safety for his own plan.
He has been planning this for a long time and has prepared a lot of things for himself.
"This is just one of them."
Rachel nodded.
"Some bastard?
"Broker?!"
"I must find that bastard!"
Lawless spat out the name through clenched teeth.
"Alright, alright."
"He has completely hidden himself in the dark. Even Wu can't find him."
Instead of paying attention to him, why don't you pay attention to that special aura?
All you need to do is pay attention to the aura itself, maybe you guys will find something unexpected. "
Rachel then turned around and went back into the living room without caring about Lawless and the others.
Wu was kneeling on the blanket in the living room.
In front of her were 12 Legendary rank items surrounding a crystal ball.
The golden brilliance dyed the crystal ball golden.
Moreover, this golden color was still flowing, like a small stream revolving around Wu. In the end, it turned into a sparkling and translucent stream and scattered.
Kak, Kak, Kak!
The 12 Legendary rank items started to decay and break.
Even a crack appeared on Wu's crystal ball.
Wu didn't care at all. She took out a dagger and cut her wrist.
However, no blood flowed out.
The dagger was snatched away by Rachel.
"Are you out of your mind?!
Do you know what you are doing?! "
Rachel asked in a low voice.
"I know.
Crow is in danger.
I want to help him. "
Wu said calmly.
"So you want to trade your life for his?"
Rachel snorted coldly.
Wu didn't refute. It was obvious that she was planning to do so.
"Do you think it's meaningful?
Or should I say … "
"Do you really think you are helping 2567?"
"I can assure you that what you are doing now, although it will help 2567 overcome the difficulties before him, in the end, he will fall into an irrecoverable state."
Rachel emphasized the word.
Wu raised her head and looked at Rachel with shining eyes.
"You are lying to me!
"This is just your delaying tactic!"
What do you want … "
"What do I want?"
"Your talent, your title, it's enough for you to know some secrets. If you don't want to believe me, you can divine a bastard called Broker right now."
"You will know when you see the result."
Rachel crossed her arms and took a step back, letting Wu do whatever she wanted.
Wu was stunned for a while before she took out 12 cards.
They were arranged in three rows, from bottom to top. The first row had 5 cards, the second row had 4 cards, and the third row had 3 cards.
She quickly took out the card in the middle of the top row.
A masked man with a sharp knife was staring at the golden crow in the sky.
Then, she took out the first card in the second row.
The golden crow was still shining brightly. The masked man's knife was broken, but he was encouraging the people around him.
Wu squinted her eyes.
She raised her hand again and drew out the card in the middle of the bottom five cards.
On this card, the golden crow disappeared, and the masked man stood on the platform, enjoying the cheers of the stupid people.
The moment Wu saw the card, she clenched her fists.
"Broker!"
Wu squeezed her cold voice out of her clenched teeth.
Rachel heaved a breath of relief when she saw her friend's reaction.
Better to let it out than to block it!
After realizing her friend's infatuation was beyond redemption, Rachel changed her strategy.
Since her friend treated 2567 as the crow, she would treat 2567 as the crow.
If her friend wanted to help 2567, she would help him.
But it had to be within range.
She must not go beyond that range.
For example, the kind of help that transcended dungeons.
It would cost her life!
As for going up against Broker?
They had already gone up against each other.
They were enemies of life and death.
At this time, what was wrong with pushing the blame to the other party?
"Do you understand now?
In the dungeon world, 2567's strength is enough to deal with everything.
But just like how the crow was attacked by the dagger from the shadows, 2567 is facing the same situation!
All you need to do is help 2567 see the dagger from the shadows! "
Rachel said.
"Em."
Wu nodded, took a deep breath and shook her sleeves.
Two white candles appeared before her.
The flames on the candles shone with an ominous green hue.
Then, a scarecrow appeared in Wu's hand.
"W-What are you trying to do?"
Rachel asked blankly.
"Collect some interest for the crow," Wu said softly.
She placed the scarecrow in between the two candles and took out a mace from her sleeve, smashing the scarecrow hard.
KABOOM!
…
The registrar, Zorl, was Broker's most loyal subordinate. It was only natural for him to stay by Broker's side during the most crucial moment.
"Hope everything goes well!"
Zorl prayed silently as he looked at the unconscious Broker.
Then, Zorl suddenly realized his lord's body was twitching.
Blood was flowing out from his nose and mouth.
Zorl quickly opened the nutritious meal and wiped his wounds.
However, when he was done, he realized his lord's body was swollen.
"W-What is going on?"
Zorl was extremely anxious.
…
Leaf Dining, in the underground secret room. Kieran looked calm as he carefully wiped his spoils of war. He then took out the core of the [Philosopher's Stone].
He looked at the dazzling light.
Kieran took a deep breath and said.
"Activate Equivalent Exchange!"
