It's an all-metal mace, and it's quite heavy.

And on the thick rod, it is covered with thumb-thick spikes, and in the sun, it exudes an extraordinary hideous feeling, which makes the hearts of those who see it chill for a while.

[Name: Crushed Mace]

[Type: Cold weapon. Heavy Weapons]

……

[Smash Lv1: Can easily crush light armor (defense is judged to be weak and average), and damage medium armor is determined to be a certain amount (defense is judged to be strong)]

……

Qin Ran danced the [Crushing Mace] with ease, although there was no skill, only brute force, but the whirring sound of breaking the air made the surrounding mercenaries and bounty hunters turn pale and tremble.

Many mercenaries and bounty hunters with other plans are starting to get timid.

The previous half-moon-shaped energy, the shadows of the legs in the sky, and the mace in front of them all made them understand very well that Qin Ran was definitely not an existence that they could provoke.

Therefore, when Bill and Keith began to evaluate these mercenaries and bounty hunters who came to apply for the job in the real sense, most of them had dispersed.

This greatly reduced the workload of Bill and Case.

In the end, the number of people who were able to pass the two-person assessment -- the number of people who mainly fought with cold weapons and fired with gunpowder weapons was only two.

One is one of the objects that Qin Ran focuses on: the red ear-length short hair, who calls himself Conti's bounty hunter.

In the cold weapon battle with Bill, the opponent did not use weapons at all, and just relied on his bare hands to suppress Bill.

The shooting showed that Keys was beyond his reach.

Moreover, from beginning to end, the other party did not put down the huge box behind him.

The other is a middle-aged mercenary who calls himself Lore.

The other party was not among the objects that Qin Ran focused on before.

However, the opponent, who only had one arm, performed extremely well in the battle with Bill's cold weapon, and only two moves flew the long sword in Bill's hand.

This is also an important reason why the opponent's gunpowder weapon shooting is very ordinary, but it is still selected.

Qin Ran walked into Herbert's residence with the two selected guards and introduced the two to Herbert.

"Conti, bounty hunter!"

"Lore, mercenary!"

"Hello two."

Herbert stood up with a smile and greeted the two newly selected guards.

The big guy on the side followed Herbert innocently, looking at the two curiously, but when he saw Qin Ran's sweeping gaze, he immediately reached out in fear and grabbed Herbert's shirt.

This made Qin Ran raise his eyebrows.

Walk to the side.

Of course, the eyes are here from beginning to end.

Neither Conti nor Lore had his full trust.

Moreover, he will not let his guard down until the side quest [Escort Screening] is completed.

The other two temporary guards, Bill and Keith, began to rest under Qin Ran's instructions.

One night of guarding, coupled with a half-day of guard screening, even if the two of them are in good physical condition, they are not in good spirits.

The period up to dark was enough for the two of them to get plenty of rest.

Therefore, the daytime escort work is in charge of Qin Ran and Conti and Luoer, who have just joined.

After signing a fairly lucrative contract and receiving a part of the deposit, the two joined the daytime escort mission without complaint.

Until the sun went down, both men completed their respective tasks brilliantly.

When it was completely dark, Peel and Cofen returned, armed with several horses, a wagon full of supplies, and two hounds.

The two hounds were in Peel's hands, docile and obedient.

But the sturdy limbs and the occasional listening and the sharp teeth that showed showed that they were reliable to their masters.

As for the enemy?

It's quite a deterrent.

And Qin Ran looked at the two hounds, but his eyes lit up.

In the wild at night, if there is a Hound to help keep vigil, the safety aspect will be increased by at least one level.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have the corresponding skills and it cost a lot, Qin Ran wouldn't mind raising one or two hunting dogs as his helpers.

But this did not prevent Qin Ran from showing kindness to the two hounds.

In fact, in the residence, except for Joanna and the cook, the rest of the people showed considerable affection for the two hounds, including the big one.

The crowd was talking around the two hounds.

Harold took out the meat left over from dinner and threw it to the two hounds.

The two hounds looked very agitated, but did not eat until Peel spoke, and then pounced and devoured them.

"Really well trained!"

Qin Ran, who saw this scene, was amazed.

"Gartner, the legendary best companion of the soldiers of the Nick Dynasty!"

"A totem with special powers, capable of fighting the most ferocious ligers, and famous for its war dogs, but it is only a legend - although the teacher was convinced, and spent a lot of money for Peel to keep these two Gartners, it was not so magical!"

"Of course, no one can deny that they are the best hunting dogs and guard dogs!"

Coffin explained.

"To be able to tell me with such great interest, you must have brought good news!"

Qin Ran laughed.

"How do you know that this isn't an apology to you?"

Coffin smiled wryly.

"No clues?"

Qin Ran was stunned.

This was somewhat unexpected.

The size of the big guy is destined to be the focus wherever the other party goes, although there are some ways to hide, but it can only be hidden for a while, and it can never be hidden for a lifetime.

Unless the other party makes the big guy completely faceless.

But that's not possible.

Immediately, Qin Ran thought of something.

"What happened?"

He asked.

"When I inquired about the whereabouts of the big guy, Mr. Peel received an official letter from the Boer city government - I hope that the teacher will leave immediately and without any further delay, so the Boer city government has directly prepared weapons, enough supplies, and war horses for the teacher."

Coffin deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of 'immediately, immediately'.

"In the same way, if the teacher does not start the trip to Aesop immediately, the city will revoke all funding and will go to the House of Commons to sue the teacher."

"What does the big guy have to do with the city government of Burr?"

The young man looked at Qin Ran puzzled.

"The big guy has nothing to do with the city government of Burr!"

"It's just something to do with some monsters!"

As he spoke, Qin Ran's gaze looked at Herbert and Peel.

It just so happened that the two of them also looked up at this place.

The next moment, all three stood up at the same time and walked to the side.

"Does the Night Seed really exist?"

Peel, the scholar's butler, servant, and bodyguard, was still a little dazed at this time.

"Of course!"

"Moreover, they are far more powerful than we imagined!"

"I had some suspicions when the three guys happened to be here when you went to the city hall to get donations, and now there is no doubt about it."

"Night Seed at least has a place in the municipality of Burr!"

"Now, they can't wait for Herbert to leave, and it's enough to prove that the guy who uses the big guy as bait is one of the nocturnal monsters!"

"Because of this, they are worried that we will find more night monsters!"

Qin Ran nodded and said.

"So we have to leave?"

Peel frowned.

It seems a little unwilling.

"It seems inevitable from the moment!"

"Unless you can tell who's a human and who's a nocturnal monster - it's not difficult, but don't forget the identity of the person you're trying to identify, they're all heads and faces."

"If they are really night monsters, then everything is easy to say, we have an absolute position!"

"But once we make a mistake, we will inevitably fall into an extremely embarrassing situation, and then the real night monster can use the power in their hands to give us the title of 'assassinating dignitaries' and other titles, and make us wanted!"

"Even ordinary policemen can't help us, but what about the army?"

Qin Ran shrugged as he spoke.

A few guns were fired, but Qin Ran didn't care.

Even if it was dozens, Qin Ran didn't care.

But what about artillery?

A salvo of a few or a dozen artillery pieces, even if there is [Plaus's Armor], it is useless, and when this number surges again, except for the broken bones, Qin Ran can't think of any other possibilities.

"2567, you said that there may be a 'weapon' hidden in the ancient city of Aesop against the night seed, right?"

Herbert spoke suddenly.

"Hmm."

"That's just a guess, though!"

Qin Ran emphasized.

"Even if it's just a guess, it's enough to get us moving!"

"Let's go!"

"We don't have any more options!"

"And we need to be prepared - I have a hunch that those 'night seeds' won't allow us to reach Aesop safely!"

Herbert turned and walked back.

Qin Ran and Peel followed closely.

About half an hour later, a small convoy set off overnight.

Everyone in the convoy was armed and stared around with solemn expressions.

Even the cook was no exception.

Although Herbert did not explain in detail, the hurried overnight departure already showed that things had changed, and it was a bad change.

Therefore, everyone's heart is full of tension.

Qin Ran is no exception.

However, the experience of several dungeon worlds has already made him accustomed to this kind of tension.

Therefore, Qin Ran offered to walk at the front of the convoy and act as a scout.

Qin Ran, who did not have the corresponding skills, did not choose to ride a horse, but moved forward on foot.

He and the convoy behind him remained at about twenty meters.

In the event of an accident, it can not only warn but also support the distance.

The dark night makes people feel oppressed.

Especially when the moon is obscured by a dark cloud, the surroundings immediately become invisible.

Qin Ran, who was moving forward, suddenly paused.

Because, the voice belonging to the convoy in his ears suddenly disappeared.

Whether it's the sound of horses stomping.

Or the crushing of wheels.

It's all gone.
