Chapter 251 Dead City

"Investigate!"

"Someone must go ahead and investigate!"

Conti said so.

"This person is me?"

Qin Ran pointed to himself and asked with a smile on his face.

Along the way, he has been acting as a scout, and such a task of scouting naturally needs him to complete.

In fact, even if Conti didn't say anything, Kieran was already ready to make such a suggestion to Herbert.

But now the other party speaks out...

Still uncharacteristically.

It made Qin Ran involuntarily think a little more.

"Want to dismiss me?"

Qin Ran subconsciously guessed.

However, what Kanti said after that made Kieran dispel this guess.

"no no!"

"Not you!"

"it's me!"

Conti said.

"If you don't mind, I also hope to join the team in front of the investigation!"

Lore on the side also spoke.

Seeing that they expressed their willingness to go to the front to check on the two guards, Qin Ran frowned and scanned the two of them with scrutiny.

The female bounty hunter is unflappable.

But the middle-aged mercenary immediately turned his head away, not daring to meet Qin Ran's eyes, with shame in his expression.

"It's so obvious."

Qin Ran sighed inwardly.

Where are the two people in front of them going to investigate.

It was obvious that he wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

They were unwilling to venture further forward.

Pier, who had been standing behind Qin Ran, had an ashen-faced look of anger.

Peel, who has quite a lot of life experience, can naturally see what the two hired guards want to do.

He opened his mouth and cursed.

"you……"

"OK!"

"I wish you all the best of luck!"

Before Pierre could utter the curse words, Herbert nodded with a smile.

The female bounty hunter turned around and left immediately.

The middle-aged mercenary bowed to Herbert with apology and gratitude, and then left in a hurry.

"This is?"

Harold, Coffin and Joanna looked at each other.

Abnormal dialogue and behavior, even the three young people can see that something is wrong.

"teacher?"

Harold asked Herbert as a representative.

"Every human life is precious!"

"I have no reason to deprive a person of his precious life!"

Herbert said with a smile.

"You mean, them?"

The three young men, who were not stupid, immediately understood Herbert's words.

"Damn it!"

"These traitors!"

"We should recover the deposit and declare their behavior to discredit them!"

The three young men shouted indignantly.

Herbert was still smiling.

He looked at Qin Ran.

That is self-evident.

"I still value my reputation more!"

"Since I have accepted your invitation, Herbert, of course I must complete the task as agreed!"

Qin Ran shrugged.

With the comparison between the two before, Qin Ran's answer immediately won the favor of the three young people, and Coffin gave Qin Ran a thumbs-up gesture with the unique sense of approval of young people.

Of course, it's not just the three young people.

There was more friendliness in Herbert's smile.

Pierre even patted Kieran on the shoulder.

There was respect in Case's eyes.

Also as a guard, he is very clear about what they will face next. If he is not unable to violate the contract, he will probably join the team of Conti and Lore.

Therefore, he felt more and more admiration for Kieran's behavior of keeping the 'promise'.

Take your life to keep a promise.

In Case's view, everyone deserved respect, for better or worse.

Facing everyone's gaze, Kieran shrugged again.

Totally embarrassed this time.

He can't explain the so-called 'main mission', can he?

Fortunately, Herbert quickly broke through Qin Ran's embarrassment.

"We need to face a more difficult situation next-some things are caused by my poor consideration. I thought that I would encounter danger, but I didn't expect such a danger!"

"So, Case!"

"You need to bring Harold, Coffin and Joanna back!"

"It's not the city of Burr, but some towns we passed by when we came here. You can wait for us there quietly!"

Looking around at the people present, Herbert said slowly.

"teacher!"

Facing Herbert's arrangement, the three young men became anxious immediately.

"Teacher, the situation is not as bad as that!"

"We can move forward in batches, those guys can't possibly recognize us all!"

"Then, just meet up in the ancient city of Aesop!"

"Yes, teacher!"

...

Three young men tried to convince Herbert.

However, that reason is too naive!

Qin Ran shook his head when he heard this.

Move forward in batches?

If you move forward in batches before the situation is unknown, you will only be caught by night-species monsters, and you will be defeated one by one.

As for the fact that night monsters can't recognize them?

Qin Ran was sure that the portraits of them in the hands of the night monsters must be almost the same as real people.

Otherwise, the lurking of Bill and the cook would have been a failure.

And just as Qin Ran guessed, the reasons of the three young people couldn't explain Herbert at all.

"Night monsters are far more terrifying than you imagined!"

"Because, before they reveal their true identities, they are exactly the same as humans!"

"You can't even tell if your friend is a night monster!"

"That's why I won't let you go back to Burr City-there is the same direction as we are going, and it is full of dangers!"

"A more important point: Quantity!"

"Until now, we don't know the number of these monsters!"

"But judging from their actions, at least there will not be only a few hundred!"

"Also, asking you to wait there is also to let you help me complete a task!"

As he spoke, Herbert produced a sealed letter.

He looked at the three young men with an extremely serious expression.

"Four weeks!"

"If we don't return within four weeks, you open the letter and follow the instructions above!"

Words are more word for word.

Shocked by the teacher's seriousness, the three young men subconsciously accepted the letter.

Seeing this scene, Qin Ran couldn't help but smile.

Herbert really knew his students too well.

He knew very well that tough persecution would definitely not be able to convince his students.

It is far better to use this method of 'entrusting'.

What will the letter say?

Even if Qin Ran didn't look at it, he knew it would definitely not have anything to do with the so-called mission.

It will only be related to the safety of the three young people in front of them.

However, Qin Ran would not tell the truth.

Peel and Case wouldn't tell the truth either.

Therefore, the convoy was divided into two, and Case returned to the previous town with the three young men, the carriage and hounds.

Qin Ran, Pierre, and Herbert rode alone and set out on the road lightly.

When it was less than ten kilometers away from the ancient city of Aesop, Qin Ran acted as a scout once again and went forward alone.

Although what Kanti and Lore said was an excuse, the investigation itself was unanimously approved by Qin Ran, Pierre and Herbert.

The target of the investigation was a camp composed of gold diggers outside the ancient city of Aesop.

The gold prospectors' camp gathered from all over the world and there are a large number of people, which is really a good target for investigation.

Similarly, it is also the most suitable place for night monsters to hide.

Therefore, before Kieran actually entered the gold digger camp, he entered a stealth state.

Step by step.

Kieran cautiously approached the camp consisting of thousands of tents in the distance.

From a distance, it looks like a town made up of tents.

When he was less than 100 meters away from the gate of the camp, Qin Ran frowned and stopped.

The camp in front of him was surrounded by wooden fences, and three sentry towers were erected.

Obviously because of the gold, this camp has developed well, and there has been a corresponding order, and it is not a chaotic gathering point.

But it was such a camp, so far, Kieran hadn't seen a single person.

Whether it's on the sentry post or in the camp.

It was all deserted.

Like a dead city.
