Rachel pinched the bird's claw, allowing it to flap its wings non-stop.
The coldness on her face and the sense of danger in her eyes made Hanses twist his neck unnaturally. Lawless, on the other hand, turned his head aside. It was the first time Kieran realized how powerful the female owner of the inn was.
He was shocked to realize that there was someone who did not even need an aura. A single expression or gaze could intimidate others.
Scary!
Kieran commented in his heart.
His eyes did not move.
He knew Rachel must have noticed something.
Kieran, Lawless, and Hanses did not notice it.
However, no matter how Kieran looked at it, it was just a bird.
It was a normal bird.
There was nothing special about it.
"I'll give you one chance. Come to me and tell me everything!"
Rachel said coldly.
The bird was struggling non-stop, and it was getting more and more intense.
"Seems like you don't cherish it …
Come on, back to the inn. "
Rachel pinched the bird and headed back to Harvest Inn.
Ten minutes later.
A plate of food named 'roasted bird' was placed in front of Kieran.
"It's my treat!"
Rachel said.
"Thank you.
And, erm … "
Kieran expressed his gratitude, but he did not know what to say.
He wanted to know how Rachel had noticed something was wrong.
Even now, he was still confused.
However, both of them were not exactly close, so some things could not be said directly.
Kieran really wished that Lawless and Hanses were beside him.
However, when the two of them returned to the inn, they received some news and left in a hurry.
Kieran knew it was not about the killer organization, but something else.
If it was about the killer organization, the two of them would have brought him along.
"The smell!
A normal bird would not have the smell of pork, lentils, and brandy on it. The pork is too mushy, the lentils are too soft, and the brandy is of poor quality.
Tsk, lousy cooking and brewing! "
Before Kieran could ask again, Rachel answered.
"The smell?"
Kieran was completely stunned.
He hadn't expected such an answer.
At the same time, he found it hard to believe.
He had always been confident in his senses, but he hadn't smelled anything before.
"I have the sense of smell of a chef, and you are just a mortal!"
As if seeing through Kieran's thoughts, Rachel said faintly.
Then, he pointed at the plate.
"It is shameful to waste food."
"Finish it all!"
Rachel said.
"Alright!"
Kieran nodded.
[Name: Barbecue]
Type: Food
[Rarity: Fresh]
[Attributes: Recovers 45 HP within 15 seconds]
Prerequisites: None
[Remarks: This is a roast meat cooked by Player Rachel. Due to the limitations of the ingredients, the portion is small, but it's delicious!]
…
As the note said, the portion was very small, but it was very delicious.
Kieran finished it in a few bites.
Then, he licked his lips as if he hadn't had enough.
However, when he saw Rachel had no intention to serve him another set of food or speak to him, Kieran wisely stood up and said goodbye.
He still had a lot of questions.
Was the bird a player's pet? Or was it something else?
He also wanted to know why Lawless and Hanses had such an unnatural look on their faces.
There must be a story behind all of this.
Kieran couldn't bring himself to ask, but it was related to everyone else.
Even if he was curious.
Kieran wouldn't peek at others.
Other than his upbringing, there was also a sense of respect for others.
Of course, the "others" were only those that Kieran recognized as friends or close to friends.
As for enemies?
Kieran was eager to know what color they were wearing today.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Kieran knew that very well.
Kieran stood up and left. His return to 13th Wallway Street was smooth, and he wasn't stopped at all.
When he entered his room, Kieran could finally relax.
Then, he logged off.
After a simple tidy up and some rest, when Kieran returned to the game, it was already five hours later.
Beep Beep!
His private message beeped again.
Lawless: I have news on where the [Z-2] came from.
Lawless: I'll go meet that guy.
Lawless: Waiting for the good news.
...
That was the first part of Lawless's message.
Then came the second part.
Lawless: That guy knows more than we thought, but he doesn't want to spill the beans.
Lawless: That bastard!
Lawless: He's been hiding in his room all this time. I can't do anything to him!
Lawless: Don't let me seize the chance, or I'll teach him a lesson!
...
In the second part, Lawless's words were filled with anger.
That wasn't the end though.
There was still the third part.
Lawless: We've found the guy who spied on us.
Lawless: But that guy logged off, so we won't get any useful information for the time being.
Lawless: Damn it!
...
The message was also filled with resentment.
Kieran was quiet after reading it.
The difficulty of facing a killer organization wasn't just because of their mysterious and powerful nature, it was also because of the other factors.
No matter how real an underground game was, it was still a game.
Some of the rules of the game made the killer organization hard to deal with.
Playing a solo game in one's own room, getting caught, logging off before entering battle mode were all methods that left one helpless.
Especially the former, it was unsolvable.
Although the latter could be solved by camping, it was still difficult.
Normal players who pursued the limits of their abilities were not up to the task. They lacked time.
The rest of the normal players were not up to the task either. They lacked strength.
Finding a middle ground was not an easy task either.
In short, it was a waste of time and energy.
"It's a battle of patience!"
Kieran sighed.
He started to reply to Lawless.
2567: I want to have a look at the room of the two killer players. Maybe there will be more clues there.
2567: Together?
Lawless: Sure!
...
Lawless agreed to Kieran's invitation right away.
After both of them agreed on a time and place, Kieran departed.
Kieran met Lawless on time at the appointed place.
Kieran walked over with a smile.
No one would reject a punctual person.
"Hope I get something!
"These fellows have hidden themselves deeper than I had imagined. Most of my friends around me did not sense anything. Those who had sensed something did not have a definite confirmation before I asked them."
But these bastards won't be able to run!
I'll show them what's coming to me! "
Lawless said in a persistent tone.
His tone made Kieran have a guess.
But he didn't ask further.
If Lawless wanted to talk, he would. If he didn't want to talk, asking would only increase the distance between them, so he might as well not ask.
Of course, there were some other things he wanted to say.
"What's with that bird from before?"
Is it an animal? Or …? "
Kieran asked.
"Something similar!
Players with animal rearing skills can raise animals to help them in battle, but most of the time, it's a thankless task.
Take that bird for example. The guy who followed it must have put in a lot of effort, but didn't he get roasted by Rachel in the end?
Even if you raise some beasts, as the dungeon entries increase, they will be eliminated, unless you find some special animals.
Of course, it's good for carrying goods. 2567, if you have nothing better to do, you can consider raising an elephant or a camel. "
Lawless replied.
"I can't even afford to raise myself!"
Kieran shrugged.
As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the killer players' room, Shielder and Collet's room.
Both of their rooms were on the same street, and they were neighbors.
It seemed like the two killer players had purposely chosen them.
Kieran chose Collet's room first.
Collet's performance during the battle told Kieran that he was worth a fortune.
Unfortunately, other than a piece of magical equipment, the rest of the items were not of high value.
[Name: Magic Grappling Rope]
[Type: ETC]
[Rarity: Magic]
[Attribute: Extend Lvl 2]
[Prerequisite: Sharp Weapon, Special Weapon (Lasso Master)]
[Remark: This is an improved Magical equipment, a special technique is required to use it.]
...
[Extend Lvl 2: Able to extend twice its original length, (Original 5 meters, total length 15 meters)]
...
The [Magic Grappling Rope] overlapped with the [Deceiver's Key]'s function, plus its larger size and special requirements made it a marketable item.
Meanwhile, in the Shieldbearer's room, Kieran had an unexpected discovery.
A large number of landmines and quite a number of flash grenades.
The landmines were also the [Z-2] model.
It was the first time Kieran had seen a flash grenade.
[Name: Q-1]
[Type: Magic Grappling Rope]
[Rarity: Great]
[Attack: None]
[Attribute: Blinding (Strong light blinds the target's eyes)]
[Effect: None]
[Able to bring out of the dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: This is an excellent flash grenade, as long as you know how to throw it, you will be rewarded with an unexpected reward!]
...
"Good stuff!
Don't be a marketer, they will be a great help in the dungeon world! "
Lawless commented and gave Kieran some advice.
"Mm.
But I didn't find anything. "
Kieran was always willing to accept useful advice.
"I'm prepared!
We … "
As Lawless spoke, he suddenly paused. He lowered his head to look at his private message, and his expression immediately became strange.
"It's from Hellfire!
They want to meet you! "
Lawless raised his head and looked at Kieran.
Kieran raised a brow.
