Chapter 236 Guardian

Kieran, who was worried about Herbert, did not act immediately. He looked at the three people whose faces changed drastically due to the explosion and the shaking of the basement, and their expressions were terrified.

Tune the tiger away from the mountain!

This idea popped up in Qin Ran's mind almost instantly.

"These three guys are much more valuable than imagined!"

"Maybe...it's not the worst!"

Qin Ran's heart moved, and with a wave of the spear in his hand, the tough hemp rope tied to the beam of the house immediately broke. Amidst the exclamation of the three people who were tied up, Qin Ran easily reached out to catch the three, walked up, and moved forward. The room is also relaxed.

For Qin Ran whose strength has reached B- level at this moment, let alone walking with three people, even running with a few more people is no problem.

The only thing to consider is physical exertion.

boom!

The door connecting the basement to the first floor of the building, under the impact of the spear in Qin Ran's hand, flew straight up and hit the burning wall opposite.

The scorching air wave then invaded.

The three people who were carried by Qin Ran struggled uncomfortably.

But Qin Ran didn't notice it.

The scorching air wave in front of him, in Kieran's view, seemed to be the negative side of the breeze.

Even if he puts his palm in the flames, he won't suffer the slightest damage.

[Secondary Elemental Damage Resistance]

Far more practical than imagined!

Kieran's gaze scanned the scene of flames intertwined around him.

According to common sense, there is no possibility of an ambush in front of you.

But Qin Ran doesn't think that some things can be measured by common sense.

The experience of several dungeon worlds is enough for Kieran to replace the original common sense with the common sense of "underground games".

"Not in the building!"

"Not even outside!"

After looking at it for several seconds, Kieran confirmed the safety of the surroundings, but doubts appeared in his heart.

No matter how you look at the situation in front of you, it is a very suitable opportunity for an ambush.

However, the burning building in front of him did not give him more opportunities to think. Although [Secondary Elemental Damage Resistance] could make him immune to the flames in front of him, he would still need to suffer considerable damage if it collapsed.

Qin Ran carried the three of them who had already fallen into a semi-conscious state due to the heat, rushed up the stairs, and walked straight out through the window.

When Kieran's feet landed on the ground, he looked at the unconscious Herbert in surprise.

"what happened?!"

Qin Ran was taken aback.

Herbert appeared here, completely beyond his expectations.

In his vision, in order to safely exchange the three guys in his hands, Herbert should have been kidnapped.

Even, Qin Ran has already figured out how to deal with the 'kidnappers'.

But when Herbert appeared in front of him, he told him that his previous guess was completely wrong.

"It's not for these three guys!"

"Even, I don't want to hurt Herbert at all!"

Kieran looked at Herbert, who was just in a coma but safe and sound, and then looked at the building behind him that was almost completely engulfed by the fire.

Suddenly, an idea appeared in his mind.

"It should be two groups!"

"The people who appeared behind have nothing to do with these three guys!"

"These three guys don't care about hurting Herbert at all!"

"The people who caused the explosion and set the fire now are not willing to hurt Herbert, otherwise, Herbert would have been smashed to pieces!"

"Because of this, there was no such thing as an ambush!"

Qin Ran, who caught a point, gradually became clearer.

However, his brows did not loosen.

On the contrary, the wrinkles became tighter and tighter.

"The trip to the ancient city of Aesop has not yet started, but there are at least two groups of people who don't want Herbert to travel!"

"What secrets are there in the ancient city of Aesop?"

Qin Ran thought about it.

Then, he shook Herbert's shoulder lightly.

After counting, the scholar woke up from his coma.

At first glance, I saw my own burning house.

"2567, the things I promised you to read before seem to be in vain!"

Herbert didn't panic or get angry, he said to Kieran in a calm and slightly joking tone.

This surprised Qin Ran.

"Herbert, are you sure you have nothing to do?"

Qin Ran asked worriedly.

People are greatly stimulated and become abnormal. Although Qin Ran has never seen such a thing with his own eyes, he has heard it more than once.

The situation of Herbert in front of him is really too suitable.

"certainly!"

"Although all my books and notes are destroyed, they are already in my mind!"

"Moreover, everything in front of me made me more sure of one thing!"

Herbert nodded his forehead, and the corners of his mouth were upturned, with a smile that he couldn't hide no matter what.

"whats the matter?"

Qin Ran looked at the other party's smile.

It was a smile that contained joy and excitement.

There's nothing abnormally twisted or delirious.

Obviously, what he was worried about did not happen.

Kieran was also curious about what Herbert said.

"protector!"

"Guardian of the ancient city of Aesop!"

"It is said that when someone is about to come into contact with the real secret of Aesop's ancient city, these guardians will appear and hide the secret again!"

"Of course, the real secret is not gold!"

Herbert didn't hide anything, and told Kieran excitedly.

And, don't forget to crack a joke.

This made Kieran reassure that Herbert is normal and fine.

"Hide the secret again?"

"But you?"

Kieran looked at Herbert, but didn't finish the following words.

What kind of person can keep a secret?

dead!

This answer is almost known to most people.

Although not everyone can do this.

But since they are the so-called 'guardians', things like killing people, in Kieran's view, must not be difficult for them.

"You mean why didn't the Guardian just kill me?"

"Because, the legendary guardians are not executioners—they will give warnings, and then they will actually do it!"

Herbert said bluntly.

"Sounds like a gentleman!"

Qin Ran frowned and said.

He couldn't understand such a superfluous approach.

"That's why the ancient city of Aesop is so attractive!"

"This is why I need a real powerful guard!"

Herbert's eyes were blurred, and he whispered persistently.

From Kieran's point of view, Herbert at this time is not a scholar at all, but a fanatic.

Qin Ran shook his head and looked at the three people on the ground.

Unlike the incomprehension of the actions of those 'guardian' gentlemen, Kieran somewhat understood the fanaticism of a scholar like Herbert towards the ancient city of Aesop—it was a kind of attachment.

He understood this obsession, as he knew that the interrupted interrogation must be accelerated.

Even though Herbert lived far from the city, the smoke rising from the burning house was enough to tell anyone with sight what was going on here.

Simply put, the police will be here soon.

Qin Ran tiptoed the three of them.

Immediately, the three of them let out a cry of pain and woke up from the coma.

They looked at the burning house in panic.

That expression was like that of a lamb facing a group of hungry wolves, completely incompatible with that strong body.

"Let's see!"

"Your employer is really amazing!"

"Not only are they ruthless, but their methods are also eye-popping!"

"Think about it, if you were not brought into the basement by me, what would you look like if you were still in the room?"

"What if there are no bones left from the bombing?"

"Or was it burned into coke?"

Qin Ran stood beside the three of them and said in a low voice.

The three people who were already panicked became even more frightened under Qin Ran's description.

Their thinking almost stops.

Even when he saw Herbert standing on the side, he didn't have any associations, and was completely immersed in Kieran's description——

Those who hire them will kill and silence them!

"Now, do you still want to help him hide it?"

"You know, you were just blackmailing before. Even if you were caught in the police station, you would only be locked up for a few days!"

"But now?"

"He wants your life!"

"Don't you understand what to do?"

"At least, with Herbert to testify, that guy will definitely not be able to escape!"

"Only by catching that guy and putting him in prison will you be truly safe!"

Qin Ran looked at the terrified expressions of the three of them and guessed that it was almost done, so he spoke again.

Just as Qin Ran guessed.

When he asked again, the leader of the three spoke up.

"yes……"
