At dawn, before the restaurant closed, Bane didn't return.

It was in the afternoon of the next day that Bane and Whitrick arrived at the same time.

Although he has been well treated, the bruises on Bane's face have not completely disappeared, especially the bruises on the corners of his mouth and eye sockets, which are extremely obvious.

Even if you make a serious appearance, you can make people look at it, and you can't be serious no matter what.

At least, Amy couldn't help but laugh out loud when she looked at it.

"You're going to be without a boyfriend like this!"

Bane looked at Amy and said seriously.

"What qualifies a single dog to speak about others?"

Amy pursed her lips dismissively.

Suddenly, Bane felt as if he had been hit hard, and his body trembled.

Facts are always irrefutable.

Isn't it that he wants to be a single dog himself?

It's not that the girl he likes doesn't look down on him, and the girl who looks down on him, doesn't he look down on him?

"I'm single for freedom!"

"Right, Teddy?"

Bane turned his head to look at the silent Teddy on the side, hoping that there would be a strong helper in his camp.

"I have a girlfriend."

Teddy hesitated for a moment and then told the truth.

"What?!"

Not only Bane, but even Amy, Whitrek, and Qin Ran, who were standing at the bar, all looked at Teddy in surprise.

No one could have imagined that a person like Teddy, who was busy with the case all day and made the police station his home, would have a girlfriend.

"Isn't that weird?"

"Can't the police have girlfriends?"

The strange gazes of everyone made Teddy yell very unpleasantly.

Especially Bane's gaze, which made Teddy want to punch the other party.

"Put away the filth in your heart!"

"It's not watered, it's not inflated!"

"I never go to a nightclub, and I don't have a VIP card!"

After Teddy finished speaking to Bane, he strode towards Wytrik, he didn't speak immediately, but looked at Qin Ran, and when Qin Ran made a gesture of please, he said to Whitrek: "Mr. Whitrek, are there any requirements for joining the herders?" ”

Whitrick smiled at Teddy's inquiry.

"For others, it can be difficult."

"But for you, no."

Whiterick said.

"Can I keep my job as a police officer?"

Teddy continued.

"It's not a conflict."

"In fact, more than a third of herders are not full-time."

"Except for the heads of each district, most of us are usually busy with each other, and we will stand up when needed."

Whiterick explained.

"Can I become a herder now?"

Teddy asked delightedly.

"Of course not."

"You're just joining us now."

"However, you are not a herder, you can only be the lowest level of 'Velites', and you need to have a veteran to take you for at least 10-15 weeks."

"Then, you need to pass an exam before you can be considered a real herder."

"If you don't mind, I want to be your guide and teach you about the mystical side."

Whiterick looked at Teddy expectantly.

Teddy's qualifications are beyond doubt.

At least at the level of 'Ektis'.

With a little teaching, you will be able to grow into a master on your own.

Of course, even if it were, Teddy didn't need Whitrick to teach.

But after learning from Bane's previous experience, Whitrick was really not at ease, and he had already lost a Li Jiajia, and if he lost a Teddy, Whitrick would have to die of grief.

Thinking of this, Whitrek couldn't help but glare at Bane.

Bane, who was shrinking in the corner of the wall and doubting his life, suddenly shuddered, and his whole body was cold.

What's wrong?

Do I have a cold?

Alas, if you have a cold, you will catch a cold.

Even if I have a cold, I have no one to take care of it.

Even Teddy has a girlfriend, and I don't.

Life is really boring......

Bane thought as he retracted into the corner.

Seeing that Waitrick's blood pressure rose for a while, he really wanted to smoke Bane again.

What's wrong with being single?

I've been single for 55 years, who did I talk to?

Whitrick snorted coldly and withdrew his gaze.

He wasn't going to look at Bane anymore.

It's infuriating.

"Really?"

"That's great!"

Teddy breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really worried that Whitrik was going to say something like "make Bane your guide".

He genuinely wants to be a herder, but that doesn't mean he's willing to be his guide.

Although there is a proverb in the East that 'the master leads the door to practice in the individual', Teddy knows how important it is to have a reliable master.

And Bane?

The words complete and reliable do not go along.

It's lazy to eat, not to mention, but also greedy for money, loves to take advantage of small advantages, and chatters.

Such a person becomes a direct guide, and Teddy feels that life is gloomy when he thinks about it.

Thankfully not.

"Teacher, I'll be waiting for you at the door."

Teddy said as he walked to the door of the restaurant.

He knew that Whitrick and Qin Ran had important matters to discuss.

Waitrick looked at Teddy's gaze with satisfaction.

Teacher, among herders, has a special meaning.

However, he did not correct Teddy's title

Maybe he really needs an heir?

Whitrick, who was in a good mood, turned around.

"Herders need fresh blood so much."

Whiterick made such an exclamation, but Qin Ran didn't pick it up, he knew very well why Whiterick made such an exclamation.

They wanted him to join the herders.

However, Qin Ran never thought about it.

His relationship with the other party has always been simple: cooperation.

He does not intend to change such a relationship.

After all, the herder is not the old man in front of him, and the other party is just a person in charge of the eastern district of Aicheng.

And in the eastern district of Aicheng, there are 11 people like the other party, not to mention the entire Aicheng, or the entire state!

There is no doubt that the herders are a huge force!

In such a big force, even if it claims to be very free, how much real freedom is there?

A little thought is enough to guess.

Very limited!

Qin Ran didn't want to be exhausted by one order after another.

He prefers to take the initiative.

Looking at Qin Ran, who didn't answer, Whitrek sighed helplessly and took out a cloth bag from his pocket.

"It's our compensation."

Whiterick said.

He really hoped that Qin Ran could join the herders, but he wouldn't force Qin Ran, he knew too well what the other party's character was like.

If you really want to force it, I'm afraid that you won't even have the friendly relations you have now.

"Hmm."

Qin Ran nodded and took the cloth bag.

Silver money, 10 pieces.

Pour it out and put it in the money bag that was previously given for free.

At this moment, Qin Ran had a total of 20 silver money, but Qin Ran didn't plan to use it like this, he hoped to use it after accumulating it, and then use it after exchanging it for gold money.

Whitrick waited for Qin Ran to finish all this before he continued to speak.

"This 'Winter Night War' has changed a lot, and all sides have reacted."

"The four districts of Ai are discussing whether to form a team."

"In other regions, it should be a similar situation."

"And ......"

Speaking of this, Whitrek lowered his voice, and in a voice that only Qin Ran and Qin Ran could hear, he said, "It is said that the winner of this time, in addition to being able to get 100 gold coins that exceed the amount of money five times in the previous edition, he can also get a fragment of the 'Philosopher's Stone'!" ”

Philosopher's Stone Fragments?!

Qin Ran squinted.

He didn't wipe the [Philosopher's Stone (Fragment)] in his arms, but in his heart there was vigilance and suspicion.

As soon as a [Philosopher's Stone (Fragment)] appeared in the northern area of Aicheng, the reward item of 'Winter Night Battle' became a Philosopher's Stone Fragment.

Is it such a coincidence?

"What else? Be specific. ”

Qin Ran asked quietly.

"In addition to the Philosopher's Stone Fragment for the final victory, it is rumored that there are various rewards for this 'Winter Night War'."

"It's not distributed after the end of the 'Winter Night War', but placed in the 'Winter Night War'!"

Wheelrick continued.

"In the 'Winter Night War'?"

Speculation instantly surged up in Qin Ran's heart.

Post-war settlement and battle acquisition are two completely different concepts.

The simplest thing is that if you get a good item in battle, many people or weird people are very likely to give up this 'Winter Night War' and stay until the end of the 'Winter Night War'.

Seven days is really nothing to them.

Of course, it is very likely that they will be attacked by a group.

Piff is not guilty of his guilt!

"This 'Winter Night Battle' is much more interesting than I imagined."

Qin Ran said so.

"That's not what worries me the most."

"What worries me the most is that this 'Winter Night War' is not a place to choose from the past, but a completely new place."

"In other words, no one knows where it will be."

"The previous experience is completely useless, we want to help you, but we can't help."

Wytrek couldn't help but smile wryly.

"You don't know."

"Does anyone else, or the weird, probably know?"

Qin Ran asked.

"Impossible!"

"The Lord who presided over the 'Winter Night War' knows everything, but he will never reveal it."

"His justice and fairness are known to the whole world."

Whiterick affirmed.

Qin Ran didn't say much.

When he has not experienced it himself, he will never make inferences, but will only remain vigilant.

"So, when are we leaving?"

"Is it far from Ai?"

Qin Ran asked.

"That's probably the only good news."

"It's not far from Ai, about three hours or so by car."

"So, let's just leave a day early."

"Luo Yan, you adjust your state in the past two days, and we will ensure that you will not be disturbed in any way."

Whiterick assured.

"Okay."

Qin Ran nodded.

After a brief conversation, Whiterick got up and took his leave.

The old herdsman walked to the corner and picked up Bane and walked out, and Teddy, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted Qin Ran and followed.

After the herders left, the kitchen curtain was lifted and the mimosa came out.

"Brother."

Mimosa stretched out her hand, tugged at Qin Ran's sleeve, and pointed in the direction of the kitchen.

Qin Ran immediately glanced at the elite 'evil dog' knowingly, and then walked into the kitchen.

"Dangerous!"

"That voice told me that this 'Winter Night Fight' was dangerous!"

As soon as Qin Ran walked into the kitchen, Li Jiajia, who was wearing an apron, hurriedly said.

"Specifically?"

Qin Ran asked.

"Blood, death."

"Flame, destruction."

The voice kept telling it again, but when I tried to ask for details, the voice began to fall silent.

Li Jiajia answered truthfully.

Of course, she didn't want Qin Ran to have an accident.

didn't care much about Qin Ran, just because Qin Ran was her master's brother.

If something happened to Qin Ran, her master would definitely be sad.

When a person is sad, it is easy to lose all thoughts.

Once all thoughts are really lost, then her fledgling career as a chef will be completely ruined!

"Have you asked where that voice is safe?"

Qin Ran asked after pondering for a while.

"Asked!"

"It's safest to stay away from the 'Winter Night War'!"

"The farther away the better!"

Li Jiajia nodded immediately.

"Is that so?"

Qin Ran muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Are you ready to give up on the 'Winter Night War'?"

Li Jiajia looked at Qin Ran expectantly.

"No!"

"I'm looking forward to it more and more!"

Qin Ran said with a smile, his eyes were looking at the mimosa, and the mimosa with a smile on the corner of his mouth obviously guessed Qin Ran's thoughts, and there was no surprise at all.

On the contrary, there was support in his eyes.

In other words, as long as Qin Ran wants to do something, Mimosa will support it.

Although it would be dangerous to do so.

But what's not dangerous?

People who are afraid of danger do not live long in huge cities.

Fearlessness is a glimmer of life!

After retreating once, there will be a second time, and a third time, and when there is no way to retreat, you will find that you have already entered a desperate situation.

This was the case with the previous mimosa.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Mimosa met Qin Ran.

Mimosa herself also understands that it was Qin Ran's action that allowed her to continue to live.

Otherwise......

The unjust souls in the huge city don't even wail.

Therefore, even if the mimosa is still timid, it chooses to face it.

Not wanting to be in a desperate situation anymore is the truest idea of mimosa.

Of course!

is also because Qin Ran, who is standing next to him, is a person who makes Mimosa himself completely relieved and gives constant encouragement.

"Master, you must persuade your brother, he ......"

"Go ahead."

"I'll be here waiting for you to come back."

Mimosa smiled and waved her hand to interrupt Li Jiajia's words, turned her head and looked directly at Qin Ran with good-looking eyes, and gave a solemn promise.

Qin Ran raised his hand and touched Mimosa's forehead.

"Don't worry."

"I'll be ready."

With that, Qin Ran walked out of the kitchen.

When the kitchen curtain was lowered, Mimosa turned around with a slightly red face, thinking about it as she prepared today's food.

"For seven days, I don't know what kind of environment it is, and the food is not easy to spoil."

"Beef jerky should be able to handle most of the situation."

"Dehydrated vegetables are fine."

"But it's not fresh enough."

"If it's canned, it's not nutritious."

"What should I do?"

……

Li Jiajia stood aside and looked at the mimosa who was preparing today's food while thinking, and couldn't help but have her eyes glowing.

Because, even in a state of distraction, her teacher did not make any mistakes.

The knife skills still dazzled her.

The seasoning still makes her salivate.

Even, that little flower appeared again.

However, Li Jiajia has long been used to it.

Here, she didn't encounter anything strange.

Not to mention Xiaobaihua, even if she becomes a cannibal flower, her face will not change.

Li Jiajia's eyes widened as she watched every step of mimosa's cooking.

In the depths of the villa area in the southern district, Songshi couldn't help but drop the plate.

"It's unpalatable!"

"It's unpalatable!"

"Is this brushing pot water?"

"Dogs won't eat it!"

Matsushi roared angrily, and then, without thinking about it, he prepared to change his clothes and go to the 'Leaf Restaurant'.

"Miss, wait, in order to prepare for the 'Winter Night War', the pastors in the Eastern District have stated that you will not disturb Luo Yan in the last two days......"

"Who's going to care about that refrigerator?"

"I'm going to find Luo Ye!"

Songshi emphasized.

"That's not good, Luo Ye is also in the restaurant, not to mention that Luo Ye is still Luo Yan's younger brother, you ...... like this"

"What's not going to work?!"

"Luo Ye is Luo Yan's younger brother, but Luo Ye is still my future husband!"

"I'm going to see my future husband, what does it have to do with those guys?"

Songshi interrupted Fuyi's words, picked up his coat and ran out, and as he ran, Songshi turned around and shouted to Fuyi, who was stunned in place.

"Tell them it's a family matter!"

"Let them not be nosy!"
