Kieran didn't answer Lawless' question.
Kieran mimicked Lawless and took a deep puff of the cigar. After a slight sour taste, a rich and sweet burst out in his mouth.
Then, Kieran opened his mouth and spat out the smoke.
The unique smell of the cigar entered his nose, causing Kieran to squint his eyes in satisfaction.
For a dabbler like Kieran, he would never touch the cigar.
Though, it didn't stop him from enjoying it.
Men, or more precisely, from boys onwards, smoking items were inseparable from their sight.
Whether they accepted it gladly or stubbornly resisted it.
Kieran would always see the little bits and pieces.
Some choked, tears and snot flowing down their faces.
Some choked, hating bitterly.
Everyone had their own choice.
Though, regardless of the choice, it didn't affect the cigar's special position among all other types of cigarettes.
Kieran had started to accept the smell.
At least, he had heard about the cigar room from Lawless, and he was interested in it.
Of course, one could also say that there was a smoking room.
Kieran would not refute. It was as if he was facing Lawless, who had opened his mouth again.
"I still don't know what that curse is, but I've experimented a few times before. It doesn't seem to work on other things or living beings, but it's targeting you. 2567, you must not get close to that thing. After you and Blacksmith finish embedding it, you must return to the game lobby. It's the safest place!"
Lawless' tone was solemn.
Kieran nodded quietly.
It wasn't because of Lawless' heavy tone, but the fact was irrefutable.
The curse!
Even among the players with all sorts of strange abilities, it was not to be underestimated.
That kind of special power, a little carelessness would lead to great trouble.
"Don't worry, I'll find someone else to dispel the curse in the shortest time possible and set you free!"
Lawless assured Kieran.
His tone was as heavy as before.
"But while I'm stuck at the door …"
Kieran seemed to be hinting at something.
"That bastard?
"I'll pay close attention to him. What does this damn profiteer want?"
"He's not the kind of person who harms others without benefiting himself!"
Lawless didn't need Kieran to explain, he had already guessed it.
Following the appearance of various signs, the collaboration between Black Robe and Broker was too obvious. Lawless was no idiot. If he could not react after being tricked once, he should have died a long time ago.
It was just that Lawless had no idea what Broker was trying to do.
It was the same for Kieran.
The two of them looked at each other. Lawless wiped his pocket and took out a crystal ring that was filled with blue mist.
"Here, your ring!"
Lawless said as he passed the ring to Kieran.
[Name: Wilco's Redemption]
[Type: Accessory]
Rarity: Rare
[Attack: None]
[Defense: None]
[Attributes: 1. Chilling Touch; 2. Chilling Spike]
Special Effect: None
Prerequisites: None
Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remarks: A mission that Wilco thought was easy became his journey to death. The arrogant Wilco was filled with resentment and unwillingness!]
…
[Chilling Touch: When activated, the wearer needs to touch the target with the ring to activate a Powerful freezing attack, lasts 5 seconds (When the wearer touches anything other than yourself and your belongings, it will be deemed as an attack and the duration will end), 2 times per day]
[Chilling Spike: Fire a long spear made of freezing air at the target. The distance between the spear and the target cannot be further than 30 meters. When the spear is in contact with the target or an obstacle, it will explode with freezing air, covering a 3-meter radius. Direct contact with the spear will be inflicted with Powerful freezing air, splashed targets will be inflicted with Strong freezing air from the center to Weak freezing air, 2 times per day]
…
It wasn't just the name of the ring that had changed, even the attributes had changed.
"Even among the Rare rank items, it's still one of the best!"
Kieran commented.
"Just a little bit more. If the natives that dropped this ring are strong enough, once the curse is removed, it will be a Legendary rank item!"
Lawless explained.
"But in the end, you might not even be able to remove the curse before you receive the news of my death!"
Kieran rolled his eyes and walked towards Blacksmith's room with the cigar in his mouth.
With a curse following him like a shadow, he was running out of time.
…
Compared to the last time he was here, Blacksmith's room hadn't changed at all.
The minimalistic design left a deep impression on Kieran.
Next to the huge round table, the 'Blacksmith' was ready to start.
The [Dark Nether Stone] was placed in an obvious spot.
[Name: Dark Nether Stone]
[Type: Gemstone]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Attributes: 1. Consume; 2. Embed; 3. Sacrifice]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remarks: It is a magical gemstone, its value is beyond your imagination!]
…
[Consume: Consume the Dark Nether Stone, acquire some Dark Lineage]
[Embed: Embed it on a weapon or armor, acquire a special Dark effect]
[Sacrifice: Perform a sacrifice in a certain temple, you will get an unexpected encounter]
[Note 1: Consuming has a higher chance of failure, will not cause damage to the user!]
[Note 2: Embedding has a certain chance of failure, both the gemstone and the equipment will be damaged at the same time!]
[Note 3: During the sacrifice, both good and bad things will happen. It all depends on luck!]
…
"Certain temples? Sacrifice? "
Kieran frowned.
He never thought the [Dark Nether Stone] would have the [Sacrifice] effect.
"Could it be that it can attract the Gods?"
Kieran guessed out of instinct.
Still, it didn't change Kieran's original idea of embedding the gemstone.
Aside from the fact that it depended on luck, it was the exact opposite of Kieran's style. Just the mention of 'certain temples' was enough for Kieran to reject it.
It was also a matter of luck.
Two matters that depended on luck were placed together.
The variables were too big.
Kieran didn't want to try it.
"Alright, take off your clothes!
We don't have much time! "
Blacksmith's voice sounded. Kieran was stunned for a moment before he reacted to the situation. Blacksmith meant to mend his equipment, not the ambiguous meaning that popped up in his mind.
In order to cover his guilty conscience, Kieran quickly took off [Crow's Black Feather] and [Armor of Excellence].
Blacksmith placed the former on the round table.
Blacksmith contacted the other players to mend the equipment.
Half naked, Kieran saw Blacksmith take out a needle and thread and other sewing tools. However, to Kieran's surprise, Blacksmith didn't start even after a long time.
“2567？”
I want it to be quiet when I'm working.
Not only can you not make any noise, you can't interfere with sight as well. "
Blacksmith said.
"Okay!"
Kieran nodded and turned around. He didn't think too much about it because he saw how Blacksmith embedded the gemstone with his own eyes.
Kieran's attention wasn't on it.
Kieran opened up his PM tab as he listened to the sewing sound of the needle.
When he saw Rachel's name light up, he sent her a message.
