Chapter 239 The Former Dynasty

When night fell completely, two bonfires lit up in the courtyard of Herbert's residence.

In the light of the fire, Herbert and his student Joanna were discussing something in a low voice, but Harold, who had brought back a pen and paper, did not join in.

This well-dressed young man was leading two coachmen and a cook at home in front of another bonfire.

As for Coffin heading to the city?

I have returned here with Peel before and brought back three tents.

However, Peel left in a hurry after talking with Herbert.

And, took Coffin away.

When leaving, Herbert's housekeeper, servant, and bodyguard expressed his thanks to Qin Ran again.

Regarding this, Qin Ran politely said that it was what he should do.

Then, watch the other party leave.

Although he didn't say it clearly, the look on the other side's face when he left made Qin Ran understand that the preparations for this trip to Aesop's ancient city were far more complicated than imagined.

"In addition to the necessary supplies, we also need..."

"arms!"

Qin Ran guessed with certainty.

Even in the list of purchased materials, there is no such purchase option.

After what happened this afternoon, Herbert will definitely consider it.

After a short contact, Kieran already had a certain understanding of Herbert's personality.

Unlike other 'scholars' who are serious and stubborn.

He is not only optimistic, but also a flexible person.

Of course, the other party's adherence to the bottom line of morality is what Kieran admires the most.

A scholar who would rather have his bones broken than accept blackmail, in Kieran's view, has surpassed most of the other seemingly tough scholars.

"Your Excellency 2567, dinner is ready!"

"Please come and dine!"

Harold, who rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, walked over and said while wiping his hands with a hint of darkness in his hands.

"OK!"

Qin Ran nodded and smiled.

And beside the cook, Joanna has already started to help.

The two young men who looked like they were from the upper class could stay with the cook and the coachman without any worries, helping others to serve meals.

This is no simple matter.

In Qin Ran's memory, the slightly wealthier families, when they were at the same age as the two young people in front of them, still lived their lives with clothes to eat and mouths to eat.

It can be seen from this that Herbert's ability to teach students is even more top-notch.

"Your Excellency 2567, your dinner!"

Qiongna handed a large wooden bowl full of soup to Qin Ran, and the cook at the side handed over two pancakes that were the size of an adult man's palm.

The soup in the big wooden bowl is mainly mushrooms, bean sprouts and shredded bamboo shoots, with a little pork and shrimp mixed in. The soup is steaming and milky white and rich.

The aroma penetrated into his nostrils, making Qin Ran swallow his saliva, and took a sip. Then he couldn't wait to stuff the baked wholemeal pancake into his mouth, and chewed it.

“Nice workmanship!”

Facing the delicious food, Qin Ran was not stingy with his praise.

Although her mouth was full of food and she couldn't speak clearly, the cook liked such sincere praise very much, and immediately stuffed another pancake into Kieran's hand.

After thanking again, Qin Ran took the pancakes and walked towards Herbert.

Herbert brought back his dinner a little earlier than Kieran.

However, the scholar in front of him was not in a hurry to eat.

He was writing quickly on the paper with a pencil, and sometimes drew some graphics, and then marked it next to him.

Herbert didn't notice Qin Ran walking over.

When Qin Ran finished the last sip of soup, Herbert was still immersed in his own world.

"The teacher is so devoted every time."

"It's also what I admire the most."

After putting Herbert's dinner by the bonfire, Joanna lowered her voice and said to Kieran.

"I also admire people who put their heart and soul into it."

Qin Ran said with a smile.

These are not polite words, but real.

Because, Qin Ran knows how great it is to concentrate on doing something.

And the same point of view immediately shortened the distance between Qin Ran and Qiongna, and made the girl who was a little timid towards Qin Ran suddenly become familiar.

"As Coffin said, have you really hunted down a giant crocodile that is tens of meters long?"

"There are ghosts!"

The girl asked curiously.

"There are no tens of meters, but only a dozen meters."

"If it's really tens of meters long, it's really a legendary monster!"

Qin Ran shrugged his shoulders.

"What about the ghost?"

"Are they still carrying the memories of their lifetime, looking for the most cherished person?"

During the words, there was a trace of inexplicable longing in Qiongna's expression.

Undoubtedly, the girl's curiosity is more sentimental.

Unfortunately, Kieran couldn't see it at all.

He said directly.

"Won't!"

"Most of the ones I've seen are monsters that only have the instinct to hate living things!"

"When encountering such a monster, it is best to stay in the sun. If it is night, then take a torch to defend yourself!"

"Remember, they can hide through walls, so you'd better not stand against the wall, and always pay attention to your feet!"

The conversation that was supposed to have a meaningful and romantic atmosphere turned into a combat lesson in an instant.

In fact, if Qiongna wanted to ask Qin Ran some combat issues at this time, Qin Ran would definitely not mind teaching him a hand or two.

It's a pity that the girl in front of her is not interested in fighting.

Especially, after Qin Ran personally broke the illusion that she had always existed.

"I'm going to finish the homework assigned by the teacher!"

After Joanna finished speaking, she walked to the other side of the bonfire and picked up a pen and paper.

"Sorry, Your Excellency 2567!"

Harold, who had been staring at this place, immediately walked over and said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter."

Qin Ran didn't understand why Qiongna was angry, and he wouldn't be annoyed because the other party was angry either—he wouldn't care what an aborigine who had only met once thought of him.

Unless it's mission related.

In the same way, he doesn't mind getting more news related to the main quest.

"What do you know about the ancient city of Aesop?"

Qin Ran asked.

"The ancient city of Aesop is said to be a fortress built by the Nick Dynasty!"

"However, this is just a legend!"

"In fact, people have always doubted whether the Nick dynasty really existed—after all, the rumored dynasty unified the world 1,500 years ago and conquered all the kingdoms and city-states at that time! There is not much evidence, but there are only a few words in some ancient books, which seem to be fragmented overnight."

"But the teacher firmly believes that this dynasty existed."

"So, the teacher is going to the ancient city of Aesop to find evidence that can prove the existence of the Nick Dynasty."

Harold sat next to Kieran and told the real reason for this trip to Aesop's ancient city.

"I see."

Qin Ran nodded suddenly.

But he kept the word 'Nick Dynasty' in his heart.

He thinks this will be a pivotal point.

Just when Kieran was about to ask Harold for more information, a carriage came from afar.

The carriage belonging to the police station that left in the afternoon returned again.

Calkin, who was pale, reluctantly got out of the carriage.

He walked up to Qin Ran with a little fear.

"Hu, Hu Ke is dead!"

The other party said with a stammer.
