"..."

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..."
