"Detective!"

"Someone has to go ahead and investigate!"

Conti said.

"Am I the candidate?"

Qin Ran pointed at himself and asked with a smile.

Along the way, he has played the role of a scout, and such a task as a detective naturally needs him to complete.

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

But now the other party is saying it......

It's still unusual.

It made Qin Ran involuntarily have a little more association.

"Want to break me off?"

Qin Ran subconsciously guessed.

However, Conti's words after that made Qin Ran dispel this speculation.

"No, no!"

"It's not you!"

"It's me!"

Conti said.

"If I don't mind, I'd like to join the team that investigates ahead!"

Lore on the side also spoke.

Seeing that they had expressed their willingness to go to the front to investigate the two guards, Qin Ran's eyebrows furrowed, and he glanced at the two of them with a scrutinizing gaze.

The female bounty hunter is calm.

The middle-aged mercenary immediately turned his head, not daring to look at Qin Ran, with a look of shame in his expression.

"It's a sight to be."

Qin Ran sighed in his heart.

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

It was clearly to take the opportunity to escape.

They don't want to take any more risks.

Peel, who had been standing behind Qin Ran, had a blue face and an angry face.

Peel, who has a lot of life experience, naturally saw what the two hired guards wanted to do.

He opened his mouth and cursed.

"You ......"

"Okay!"

"Have a nice trip!"

Without waiting for Peel to utter the curse, Herbert smiled and nodded.

The female bounty hunter immediately turned and left.

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

"What is this?"

Harold, Coffin, and Joanna looked at each other.

Abnormal conversations, behaviors, even the three young people can see that something is wrong.

"Teacher?"

Harold asked Herbert as a representative.

"Everyone's life is precious!"

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

Herbert said with a smile.

"You mean, they?"

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

"Damn it!"

"These traitors!"

"We should recover the deposit and declare them discredited by doing so!"

The three young men shouted indignantly.

Herbert was still smiling.

He looked at Qin Ran.

That means for a reason.

"I still value my reputation!"

"Since you have accepted your invitation Herbert, of course you 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 Ke Fen even gave Qin Ran a thumbs up with the unique sense of identity of young people.

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

There was more friendliness in Herbert's smile.

Peel patted Qin Ran's shoulder even more simply.

There was respect in Case's eyes.

As a guard, he knew very well what they would face next, and if he wasn't unable to break the contract, he would probably join Conti and Lore's team.

Therefore, he felt more and more admiration for Qin Ran's behavior of abiding by the 'agreement'.

The one who takes his life to keep an agreement.

In Case's view, for better or worse, they deserve to be respected.

Facing everyone's gaze, Qin Ran shrugged his shoulders again.

This time I'm totally embarrassed.

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

Fortunately, Herbert quickly broke Qin Ran's embarrassment.

"We're going to have to face a more difficult situation - something that I didn't think about because I didn't think about it, I thought about it, but I didn't think it would be so dangerous!"

"So, Keith!"

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

"It's not Burr City, it's some towns we passed through on our way, and you can wait for us there!"

Looking around at the people present, Herbert said slowly.

"Teacher!"

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

"Teacher, the situation is not bad enough to be in that situation!"

"We can go in batches, and those guys won't all recognize us!"

"Then, let's meet at the ancient city of Aesop!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

……

Three young men want to convince Herbert.

However, that reason is too naïve!

Qin Ran shook his head when he heard this.

Moving forward in batches?

If you move forward in batches before the situation is clear, you will only be caught by the night monsters with more opportunities and break them individually.

As for the night monsters, it's impossible to recognize them?

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

Otherwise, Bill and the cook would have failed in their lurking.

And just as Qin Ran guessed, the reasons of the three young people could not be said to Herbert at all.

"The Night Monster is far more terrifying than you think!"

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

"You can't even be sure if your friend is a Night Monster!"

"That's why I'm not letting you go back to Burr City—it's as dangerous as the direction we're heading!"

"Even more important: quantity!"

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

"But judging by their performance, at least there won't be just a few hundred!"

"Moreover, I asked you to go there and wait, so that you can help me complete a mission!"

Herbert said as he pulled out a fire-painted letter.

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

"Around!"

"If we don't return within four weeks, open the letter and do what it says!"

The words are even more word by word.

Shocked by the seriousness of the teacher, the three young people subconsciously accepted the letter.

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

Herbert knew his students too well.

He was well aware that tough persecution would not convince his students.

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

What will be in the letter?

Even if Qin Ran didn't look at it, he knew that it would definitely not be related to the so-called task.

It will only be about the safety of the three young people in front of him.

However, Qin Ran will not say anything.

Peel and Keys won't say anything either.

So, the convoy split in two, and Keith returned to the former town with three young men, a wagon, and a hound.

Qin Ran, Peel and Herbert rode alone and traveled lightly.

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

Although Conti and Lore said excuses, the investigation itself was unanimously approved by Qin Ran, Peel and Herbert.

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

There are a large number of gold digger camps from all over the world, which is really a good target for exploration.

It's also the best place for night monsters to hide.

Therefore, Qin Ran entered a stealth state before he entered the gold digger camp in the real sense.

Step by step.

Qin Ran cautiously approached the camp of thousands of tents in the distance.

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

When he was less than a hundred meters away from the camp gate, Qin Ran stopped with a frown.

The camp in front of him was surrounded by a wooden fence and three sentry towers.

Obviously, because of the gold, this camp is developing well, and there is a corresponding order, and it is not a gathering point for chaos.

But in such a camp, Qin Ran hadn't seen a single person so far.

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

It's all empty.

It's like a dead city.
