Chapter 1630 Herder

That figure stared at Kieran in the restaurant, his eyes sharper than his aura, like a knife, which made people tremble unconsciously.

The aura was fierce, but there was no murderous intention.

Kieran, who could clearly distinguish the difference, looked back at the other person calmly.

A black windbreaker, boots of the same color, and a jazz hat that is still black give the person standing in front of the shadow the illusion of becoming one with the shadow at any time.

"Hastati?"

The other party asked in a low tone.

Qin Ran frowned.

He could understand the pronunciation of the other party, but not the meaning.

Faced with Kieran's confusion, the other party's fierce momentum paused. After about a second, he asked again uncertainly: "Vilites?"

The same weird pronunciation made Qin Ran frown even more.

"Please speak Common, thank you."

Kieran didn't plan to play riddles with the other party anymore.

He is not good at this kind of roundabout way of speaking, even if the other person appearing here is probably the person he guessed.

Kieran didn't think that because of the other person's different status, he needed to change his way of speaking.

Except when facing true friends, Qin Ran has always been 'business-minded'.

What's more, he now plays another identity.

"You're not a 'herder'?"

The other party hesitated for a moment and then asked with uncertainty.

"Herder?"

"shepherd?"

Kieran asked rhetorically.

Such rhetorical questions made the person in front of him more and more uncertain.

The other party looked at Kieran suspiciously.

The surprise on his face didn't look fake, especially with his young appearance, it was easy to gain the other party's trust.

But the other party who has suffered similar losses more than once will not dare to take risks easily.

The other party began to approach Kieran little by little without leaving any trace.

And Qin Ran?

He turned around and closed the door, returned to the table, sat in the chair again, picked up a new magazine and started reading.

Don't explain yourself to someone who doubts you.

Any explanation is redundant!

It will only become a cover-up for the person who doubts you.

Even if your explanation is reasonable, it will only make the other party think that you are carefully prepared.

So, at this time, just wait.

Wait until the person you suspect takes the initiative to ask or investigate.

Qin Ran believed that if the other party was really the person he guessed, it would be very easy to know his information.

In fact, this is also true.

Just half an hour later, the man came back.

After knocking on the door politely and obtaining Kieran's permission, the man walked into the restaurant.

Compared to the fierceness just now, the other party seemed very gentle at this time.

The lines on his face are no longer as rigid as before. After showing some wrinkles, there is a trace of undisguised admiration in his eyes.

"terribly sorry."

"I misunderstood before."

"So, please don't mind. I am Ed King. Like you, I am also a second-generation immigrant. However, my father came here earlier than your father."

The other party took off his jazz hat, put it on his chest, and leaned slightly.

"Luo Yan."

Qin Ran gave a false name.

"Luo Yan?"

"Nice name."

"Nice to meet you Luo Yan, is this your and your brother's restaurant?"

"Can you bring me a full meal?"

Ed Wang asked with a smile.

"Roast rabbit 100, fried rice 15, chicken soup 10."

Kieran did not act immediately, but quoted the price.

"A bit expensive."

Ed King said this, but he was not slow in his actions at all. He just took out the right banknotes, one 100, one 20, and one 5.

"Please wait."

Kieran took the money, checked it, and put it in the cash box.

Soon, the entire meal was put on the tray and placed in front of Ed King.

“It smells so good!”

“Excellent value for money!”

"Your brother is really good at his craftsmanship!"

Just wanting to be polite, Ed Wang, who opened the topic, was obviously a knowledgeable person. After just sniffing it, he gave Luo Yan a thumbs up. After that, he immersed himself in eating, completely ignoring what he had just thought. Good rhetoric.

The wind was rolling, and Ed Wang, who had even chewed up the bones of the roast rabbit and swallowed it, let out a sigh of satisfaction.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve had something this good.”

"Luo Yan, are you not curious at all about the things you encountered?"

With a sigh, Ed King looked at Qin Ran.

"In the mountains and forests, strange things happen far beyond the cities."

Kieran said the answer he had prepared a long time ago.

In Qin Ran's forged identity, he and Mimosa were both second-generation immigrants from a remote mountain village.

"Right."

"Only in the mountains and forests can you develop a body like yours."

Ed Wang nodded.

Qin Ran did not hide his peak body. It was invisible to ordinary people, but it was enough of a surprise to Ed King, who was a 'herder'.

It's not like he hasn't seen a more powerful body before.

However, it is very rare for someone to grow to this level without anyone's guidance.

Only in the inaccessible mountains and forests can such people appear.

Because there are so many things that are good for people.

As long as you get the same thing, you can completely change your life.

Of course, the premise is that you have enough luck.

The Kieran in front of him seemed to Ed King to be a very lucky young man.

After devouring some items that were extremely beneficial to people, he did not explode and die as a result, but instead grew up smoothly and came to the city.

Clean net worth.

Young people can be cultivated.

The most important thing is that Ed Wang, who already has a certain level of strength and is extremely courageous, will not let go of such a reserve as a member of the 'Herders'.

Ed King took a deep breath and said directly: "Luo Yan, I hope you can join the 'Herders'!"

"Join the Herdsmen?"

Facing the expected invitation, Qin Ran felt calm.

If the other party didn't invite this promising prospect like him, Qin Ran would be suspicious. But at this time? Naturally, there was a hint of surprise on his face.

"That's right."

"Join the 'Herders'!"

"What you encountered just now belongs to the herders!"

"and……"

Ed King unconsciously lengthened his tone, and when Kieran looked at him, the herder said slowly: "Besides, joining the 'herders' is your only way to survive! Otherwise, even if you are If you leave Ai City and return to the mountains and forests, you will be in big trouble!"

"Why?"

Kieran asked cooperatively.

"The deer dies from the musk deer and the deer dies from the horns!"

"You are very strong, far beyond ordinary people."

"If you have some skills, ten ordinary people will not be your opponent."

"But just because you are so strong, you will be targeted by some guys... If I am not wrong, you must have swallowed something special, right?"

With that said, Ed King looked at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran remained silent, but his heart was spinning.

Are there ‘ingredients’ in the mountains and forests that can directly make people stronger?

if……

Kieran thought of something and sat there calmly, listening quietly to King Ed's next words.

"The things you swallow make you stronger, and also make you more dangerous!"

"You are extremely powerful when facing ordinary people, but you are not facing just ordinary people. Just like the legends you heard in the mountains and forests, some of those legends are true."

"You who have swallowed something precious are a great tonic to those guys - they will stare at you, looking for your flaws, until they devour you."

"Don't misunderstand. What you just encountered is everything. Those are just the tip of the iceberg. The most powerful ones among them are far beyond your imagination. You can't be your opponent at all."

"What's even worse is that what you have done has exposed yourself, and what awaits you will only be disaster!"

Ed Wang said seriously.

Qin Ran looked at the other person, his eyes were sincere and his face was full of sincerity.

But Kieran would not believe everything said by a stranger he had only met once, especially if the other party wanted him to join the so-called 'herders', any words he said would raise a question mark in his heart.

Ed King continued.

"Are you wondering why I, as a 'herder', don't take action?"

"We have our rules."

"We follow the rules and cannot take action until a serious incident does not occur."

"Simply put, even if we take action in the end, you and your brother may suffer misfortune."

"You don't want your brother to suffer misfortune, right?"

Ed King said, looking at Kieran expectantly.

Then, after seeing Qin Ran nodding, Ed King felt happy.

The number of ‘herders’ was not large.

Having one more reserve team is great in Ed Wang's opinion.

"You agreed?"

Ed Wang asked almost impatiently.

"No."

"I reject."

"I don't want to get involved in any fights. I just want to stay here quietly, prepare a piece of food for the hungry people at night, and exchange it for reward to support myself."

Qin Ran shook his head and gave the answer he had prepared long ago.

In Kieran's plan, all he wanted was to get more information about the world from the other party's mouth, not to join the other party.

Kieran knew very well what kind of treatment he would get if he joined the other party with his current strength.

Errand boy.

Or slightly better.

Want better?

Totally impossible.

Don't you expect any treatment from a newcomer?

If you don't study behind the veterans for a period of time, newcomers will always be the lowest group of labor until they are qualified to take charge of their own business.

All walks of life are similar.

Even a seemingly simple sale is no exception.

And even more so with ‘Herders’.

Kieran could completely imagine how he would follow the opponent every day before he gained enough strength and experience. Although he didn't mind learning more, at the moment he didn't have enough time to finish it all in a regular manner.

Therefore, he must choose another path.

Thankfully, he found it for now.

Fulfill the wishes of the dead and restore their power!

Maybe only a small part can be recovered each time, but Qin Ran understands the truth that sand builds up into a tower, and it is impossible to travel a thousand miles without taking small steps.

Facing Qin Ran's unhesitating answer, Ed King sighed.

"what a pity."

"Originally, I thought we could add one more person."

Ed Wang said with regret. Suddenly, he took out a flashlight, pointed it at Kieran's eyes, and then pressed the switch.

A ray of light appeared, and Ed King's voice continued.

"However, I will still come here often in the future. After all, the food here is really a pity, and you don't recognize me anymore...Who am I? Why am I here? What am I going to do?"

The light shone on the plate blocking Qin Ran's face.

The smooth porcelain plate reflected light and reflected into King Ed's eyes.

After his pupils shrank rapidly several times, Ed Wang froze on the spot, and the flashlight in his hand fell directly. Qin Ran, with quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed the extinguished flashlight in his hand.

[Name: Memory Eraser]

[Type: sundries]

[Quality: Rare]

[Attack power: none]

[Defense: Strong]

[Attribute: Memory Clear]

[Special effects: none]

[Requirements: None]

[Whether this copy can be taken out: No]

[Note: The 'Herder' organization has developed a gentle prop to appease ordinary people in modern times. It needs to be 'charged' regularly. It is best to wear sunglasses when using it. Don't ask how this suggestion came about. Make this suggestion. People have long forgotten why]

…

[Memory Clearance: Clearing the memory within an hour requires a mental judgment. When the mental attribute exceeds E+, it will greatly affect the memory clearing. 】

…

When Kieran held the flashlight-like [Memory Eraser], the relevant attributes appeared on Kieran's retina.

"What is the mental limit of ordinary people?"

Looking at the labels in the attributes, Kieran took another look at the characteristics that could not be brought out of the copy, and simply stuffed the [Memory Eraser] into Ed King's pocket.

When Qin Ran sat back in his chair, Ed King came back to his senses.

He first looked around suspiciously.

Then, he fixed his eyes firmly on Qin Ran, and his aura became fierce unconsciously. .

"Hastati?"

"Villitus?"

Just like when they first met an hour ago, Ed Wang asked.

"We've spoken about this before."

"I am not a 'herder' and I have no interest in joining one."

Kieran said simply.

Ed Wang looked suspicious.

Before?

I know him?

Did I talk to him?

Why do I have no memory?

"You said you were willing to exchange some useful information for the meal, but I don't know why you chose to take out that flashlight."

"Besides, it's a very difficult-to-use flashlight. It didn't light up after you pressed it for a long time. It only turned on when you lowered your head to check."

"If you are walking at night, I suggest you change to another one. There are supermarkets in the neighborhood. They are cheaper and brighter."

Kieran pointed at the other person's pocket, with the same confusion on his face and a look of well-intentioned suggestions.

"Flashlight?"

Ed Wang was stunned. The other party reacted instantly and subconsciously touched his pocket. When he held the [Memory Eraser], his slightly confused brain finally became clear.

Did I have my memory erased by myself?

PS I’m sorry that Feilong’s hand is really hurting. This chapter is too late. I’m sorry to say...
