"..."
With a bang, the spatula in his hand fell to the ground.
Miss Minnie was so frightened that she squatted on the ground pitifully, with tears falling down her face. She hugged her feet with her hands and huddled up in a ball.
"Poor Minnie, she will die in the hands of humans today, wuwuwuwu..."
In this way, the two sides were in a stalemate for a moment, without speaking to each other.
After a while, Miss Minnie raised her head and looked at Lin Luo with tears in her eyes.
"Why haven't you killed me yet?"
In Lin Luo's life, this was the first time he saw someone making such a request.
He asked with a black line on his head:
"Why should I kill you?"
Miss Minnie sobbed:
"Because I have the rune fragments you want on me. If you kill me, you can take away my rune fragments."
It seems that she also understands the power of the rune fragments and knows its dangers.
Lin Luo kept looking at Miss Minnie, took a final deep breath, put the arrow back into the quiver, and turned his bow back behind him.
"You misunderstood, I'm not here to steal your rune fragments."
Lin Luo raised his hand very solemnly and said:
"I swear, I'm telling the truth this time."
Miss Minnie sniffed heavily, stood up and said:
"Really? I'm still young, don't lie to me."
But she suddenly looked puzzled and said:
"But why do you say that you are telling the truth this time?"
Lin Luo frowned, coughed twice and said:
"I mean...by the way, how old are you this year?"
Miss Minnie was easily changed by Lin Luo and said dissatisfiedly:
"Don't ask girls about their youth easily. I am one hundred and three years old this year."
She put on the cloak again, and her voice turned old again. It seemed that it was all the function of the cloak.
Lin Luo suddenly realized that he had read the Yodel language before, and there were many common sense explanations in it. In other words, the other person was probably equivalent to a human girl in her early teens. No wonder her speech and behavior were not mature at all, and her brain circuit was also very strange.
"So, you really didn't come here for the rune fragments?"
Miss Minnie was still very vigilant and kept a long distance away from Lin Luo.
"It's really not true. I've never seen you before, and you have this cloak. How could I sense the power of the rune fragments in advance?"
Miss Minnie seemed to have figured it out and suddenly realized:
"That's right, you can't see through the power of the Negative Cloak. It seems like you really misunderstood."
After saying that, he lifted up his cloak with a very apologetic smile on his face, revealing two shallow dimples:
"I'm sorry, I just beat you up."
Lin Luo didn't care about this. The opponent seemed to be proficient in alchemy, but had almost no output.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, I won't care...so does our previous discussion still count?"
After Lin Luo finished speaking, he heard the sound of a game in his ears.
[Tip: Your generosity makes Miss Minnie’s apology disappear, and her favorability towards you is greatly improved: 100 points!]
Miss Minnie said happily:
"Of course it counts! I can refine the blue essence for you, but first of all, you can't tell others my secret!"
Lin Luo nodded:
"I will definitely keep my mouth shut."
He thought for a while, combined with Miss Minnie's current situation, and roughly understood why she was dressed like this. The lonely and weird old alchemist witch can give people the impression that she is not easy to mess with, and she can also protect the secret of the rune fragments. This is
The way she pretends.
As for killing her to seize the rune fragments, it is absolutely impossible to do it, not from any angle.
First of all, killing people in the main city is the biggest taboo, regardless of killing players or NPCs. This is equivalent to provoking the laws of the Hero City.
Anyone who dares to break the law will be severely punished. There is no telling what the consequences will be. Currently, no one dares to kill people in the main city and be the first to be punished. The unknown risks are the most terrifying. Lin Luo will definitely not be the first to stand out.
.
Furthermore, the mechanism of rune fragments is very clear. There are two ways to obtain them. One is to give them to yourself like Ms. Swift Crab, and the latter is to get them after killing them.
The reason why there are two options, rather than just killing people, shows that this mechanism does not encourage killing people blindly.
Otherwise, it would not be the players using the runes, but the runes controlling the players. This is a question worth pondering.
"Miss Minnie, this is my gold coin."
Different amounts of gold coins will be packaged in different specifications, and their shapes are actually similar.
Ten million gold coins is a golden treasure box. After Lin Luo took it out, it shone on Miss Minnie's delicate face, just like a piece of gold and jade.
"...Wow! You are really rich!"
Miss Minnie has never seen so many gold coins in her life.
[Tip: You are too rich, Miss Minnie’s favorability towards you has been greatly increased: 100 points!]
[Tip: Miss Minnie’s favorability for you has been raised to: respect!]
Good guy, Lin Luo now understands that Miss Minnie is definitely a little money addict.
"Great! Give me a day, and then you can come over and get the blue essence."
Miss Minnie took out a small magic wand and touched it on the golden treasure box. The latter turned into a mini treasure box, which she put into her purse.
"Then I'll take my leave."
After Lin Luo finished doing this, he was ready to leave.
At this time, a clear voice sounded:
"That's right! I have news for you!"
Lin Luo looked back and saw Miss Minnie standing there stiffly and said:
"Do you want to know about rune fragments from other worlds?"
…
Miss Minnie closed the door of the shop and blocked it with the door panel.
Then she took off her cloak, revealing the pure white alchemist robe, and said in a very cautious tone:
"It seems that you are an upright and kind-hearted person. I decided to tell you some things I know."
Lin Luo nodded. He probably guessed that this was the reward he got after his favorability level increased to respect.
Although it cannot directly improve attributes, it is often very useful.
Miss Minnie raised her little hand, pointed at herself and said:
"Do you know where I come from?"
Lin Luo guessed:
"Bander City?"
"No, Bandle City is my hometown, but after we left our hometown and went to the distant technological city of Piltover, we would not have come here. It was because we encountered the terrible evil magicians on the way.
I killed the clansmen who were traveling with me, and we were all alchemists with no fighting ability. In the end, it was my sister who protected me and sent me to this heroic city-state, so I was able to survive."
After Miss Minnie finished speaking, her eyes became red and tears fell down.
"And the reason for all this is because of it."
As she spoke, she took out a world rune fragment hidden in chaos from a purse.
The moment he saw this fragment, Lin Luo's breathing quickened. An uncontrollable impulse drove him to reach out and touch it. It was the world runes in his backpack that drove him.
But he gritted his teeth and restrained his desire.
Obviously, this Miss Minnie's mind is still very immature, and it is very easy to believe some words.
This is her own characteristic. To put it more bluntly, the game has set her thinking mode like this. She is completely inexperienced in the world.
Miss Minnie was completely unaware of Lin Luo's self-struggle, but had already fallen into grief very emotionally.
"We obtained this rune fragment from Piltover. We were originally going to bring it back to Bandle City, but we didn't expect..."
Miss Minnie burst into tears:
"My people and my sister all died in the hands of those evil magicians in order to protect me and the world rune fragments. I can never go back to Bandle City again. I can only stay alone."
Here, woo woo woo..."
The elf next to her also started crying, and for a while the store was filled with a sad atmosphere.
This made Lin Luo no longer interested in looking at the rune fragments, so he said comfortingly:
"Stop crying, stop crying...what happened next?"
Miss Minnie raised her head in surprise:
"What happened next?"
Lin Luo spread his hands and said:
"What happened after your sister died?"
Miss Minnie wiped her tears:
"Later, those evil magicians chased into the city and were beaten to death by the soldiers of Hero City. They saved me... and let me live here. Blacksmith Kelly is a kind man. He will often come to help me repair magic.
Props.”
Lin Luo suddenly realized that it was no wonder Miss Minnie had such a big reaction before. It turned out to be a stress reaction.
She had been hunted by others before because of the rune fragments.
So when he saw that he had the rune fragments, he thought he was here to hunt her down.
"Oh...poor child, I really don't know how to comfort you."
Miss Minnie stretched out her hand and said:
"give me money."
Lin Luo immediately took two steps back:
"What?"
"Give me money and I'll be happy."
Miss Minnie said this.
Lin Luo's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that he was being tricked. Could this be another way for the game to recover gold coins?
Lin Luo gradually felt that something was wrong and felt that he should run away.
"Well... I don't have much money now. I'll come to you to get the blue essence in one day. Goodbye, Miss Minnie."
"Goodbye, Lin."
…
…………
"Lin Luo!!"
Maotou shouted excitedly in his voice:
"Quick, quick, quick! We seem to be receiving a mission again. Come to the Mage Guild as soon as possible!"
Lin Luo was a little surprised and said:
"No way, can you receive the mission again so soon?"
Cat Head said loudly:
"Oh, it happened before! Don't you remember? That npc who was dragging him to death sealed the evil aura before, and then went to the Federal Parliament. Now they have the results, so they want to summon us to see those legislators and
General!"
Only then did Lin Luo remember that the senior magician Ellington had sealed the aura of the King of Ashes and then went to the Federal Parliament.
The composition of the Federal Parliament of Hero City is very simple. Each member is the president of a professional union and has powerful power. In addition to these members, the other part is the generals of the Hero City military department. These generals often go against the members and belong to the two groups.
A hostile faction.
And above the heads of the councilors and generals is the city lord of Hero City, who is not currently in the city, but has gone to other places in Runeterra.
"Okay, I'll come right away."
Lin Luo quickly arrived at the gate of the Mages Guild. Senior Magician Ellington and everyone seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
"Hurry! Come with me to the Federal Conference Hall now."
Next to Ellington, a gorgeous carriage had been prepared. After the group got on the carriage, Favorite asked on a rainy day:
"Sir Ellington, what do we need to do in the Federal Chamber?"
He was also quite panicked. The high-ranking officials and congressmen in the Hero City were all giants in their fifties, so it was strange that the eight players in their tenth and tenth levels didn't panic.
Ellington sighed and said:
"The chairman and many congressmen have studied that evil aura, but to no avail, so I have to ask you to help analyze it. At least you have been exposed to those things, and maybe you can see some clues."
The carriage drove along for about half an hour, and everyone finally arrived outside the huge and magnificent Federal Conference Building.
[Tip: You have arrived at the core area: the Central Federal Conference Building]
[You have activated the achievement: Upper Class]
[Your prestige points and achievement points 1]
"Okay, let's go upstairs."
After Lin Luo and others got off the bus, they followed Ellington and reached the top of the building through the huge silver elevator.
Then Ellington led everyone to a huge and solemn conference hall.
You can see a pure white long table in the center, with many impressive people sitting around it. On one side of the long table are senior officers of the Hero City, wearing solemn military uniforms, and on the other side are parliamentarians wearing various professional attires.
, they are all presidents of major guilds.
At the end of the long table, two people were sitting.
One of them made Lin Luo's heart explode with thunder, and a cold sweat ran down his vest.
There were two people at the end of the long table, one of whom was close to the soldier, with a hawk-like look in his eyes, and a gloomy and powerful aura.
It was General Wells whom Lin Luo had met before!
Only now did Lin Luo know that General Wells was not an ordinary general, he was actually a great general, the boss of the other generals!
Sitting next to General Wells was also the boss of those congressmen, that is, the president of the congressmen.
His eyes were as sharp as a goshawk, but they were not dark, but had an indescribable sharpness, as sharp as an arrow!
"This is our council president and the current president of the Shooter's Union. He is the most powerful person in the entire Hero City. Even I dare not look directly at him."
Ellington said carefully to everyone:
"No one here can be offended by you, so be sure to pay attention to your words and deeds!"
Lin Luo looked at the president of the Archers Guild from afar. He was actually the strongest person in Hero City.
No wonder the shooter is a first-tier player. It turns out that the boss is a first-tier player.
"Members and generals, these are the warriors who killed the ancient magic giant in the Field of Illusion. I have brought them here."
Ellington looked so brave before, but now he looks very reserved in front of these people.
"very good."
The chairman of the conference said calmly:
"Who among you is the captain? Stand up and speak."
Everyone looked at each other, and Lin Luo stepped out and said:
"Sir, Congressman, it's me!"
