Chapter 248 Disappear
This is a mace made of all metal, which is quite heavy to start with.
And on the thick stick, it is covered with sharp thorns as thick as a thumb. Under the sun, it exudes an extraordinary sense of ferocity, which makes the hearts of those who see it feel chills.

...
Qin Ran danced the [Smash Mace] easily. Although he had no skill but only brute force, the whirring sound of piercing the air made the surrounding mercenaries and bounty hunters turn pale and tremble.
Many mercenaries and bounty hunters with other plans began to feel timid.
The half-moon-shaped vigor before, the shadows of legs all over the sky, and the mace in front of them all made them very clear that Qin Ran was definitely not someone they could provoke.
Therefore, when Bill and Case began to really assess the mercenaries and bounty hunters who came to apply for the job, more than half of them had already dispersed.
This greatly reduced the workload of Bill and Case.
In the end, there were only two people who could pass the two-person assessment—mainly fighting with cold weapons and shooting with gunpowder weapons.
One was one of Qin Ran's main focus: a bounty hunter with red hair and short ears who called himself Kandy.
In the cold weapon battle with Bill, the opponent didn't use weapons at all, and just relied on bare hands, putting Bill at a disadvantage.
Shooting also showed Case's unmatched strength.
Moreover, from the beginning to the 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 of Kieran's focus before.
However, the opponent with only one arm performed extremely well in the battle with Bill's cold weapon, knocking away the long sword in Bill's hand with just two moves.
This is also an important reason why the opponent's gunpowder weapon shooting is very average, but it is still selected.
Qin Ran walked into Herbert's residence with the two selected guards, and introduced them to Herbert.
"Condy, bounty hunter!"
"Lore, mercenary!"
"Good morning, both of you."
Herbert stood up with a smile, and greeted the two newly selected guards.
The big guy at the side followed behind Herbert innocently, and looked at the two of them curiously. However, when he saw Qin Ran's glance, he immediately reached out and grabbed Herbert's lapel in fear.
This made Qin Ran raise his eyebrows.
Walk to the side.
Of course, the eyes are on here from beginning to end.
Neither Conti nor Lore gained his full trust.
Moreover, he will not relax his vigilance until the side mission [Guard Screening] is completed.
The other two temporary guards, Bill and Case, began to rest under Kieran's signal.
A night of guarding in rotation, plus half a day of screening by the guards, even if the two are in good physical condition, they are still mentally weak.
The period before dark is enough for the two of them to get enough rest.
Therefore, Kieran and newly joined Kandy and Lore are in charge of the daytime guard work.
After signing a relatively generous contract and receiving a part of the deposit, the two joined the daytime escort mission without complaint.
Until the sun went down, both of them completed their respective tasks brilliantly.
When it was completely dark, Peel and Coffin returned with several horses, a wagon full of supplies, and two hounds.
The two hounds were held in Peel's hands, acting docile and obedient.
But while walking, the vigorous and strong limbs, the ears pricked up to listen from time to time, and the sharp teeth exposed show that they are reliable to the owner.
As for the enemy?
It is quite a deterrent.
While Qin Ran looked at the two hounds, his eyes lit up.
In the wild at night, if there are hounds to help watch the night, the safety will be improved by at least one level.
If it's not that he doesn't have the corresponding skills and it costs a lot, Kieran doesn't mind raising one or two hounds as his helpers.
But that didn't stop Kieran from being friendly to the two hounds.
In fact, in the residence, except Joanna and the cook, the rest of the people showed a lot of love for the two hounds, including the big guy.
Everyone was talking around the two hounds.
Harold took out the leftover meat from dinner and threw it to the two hounds.
The two hounds showed a very excited look, but they didn't eat it. They didn't rush to gobble it up until Peel made a sound.
"Really well-trained!"
Seeing this scene, Qin Ran was amazed.
"Goldner, the best partner of the legendary Nickelodeon soldiers!"
"The totem with special power on his body can fight the most ferocious lion and tiger. It is famous for its war dogs, but it is just a legend-although the teacher is convinced and paid a big price for Peel to raise these two Gothes. Nadog, but not that magical!"
"Of course, no one can deny that they are the best hounds and guard dogs!"
Coffin explained from the sidelines.
"You can tell me so enthusiastically, you must have brought good news!"
Qin Ran laughed.
"How do you know that this is not an apology to you?"
Coffin smiled wryly.
"No clues found?"
Qin Ran was taken aback.
This was somewhat beyond his expectations.
The size of the big guy is destined to be the focus wherever the opponent walks. Although there are some ways to hide, they can only be hidden for a while, and absolutely cannot be hidden for a lifetime.
Unless the other party makes the big guy completely faceless.
But this is impossible.
Immediately, Qin Ran thought of something.
"What accident happened?"
he asked.
"When I inquired about the whereabouts of the big guy, Mr. Peel received an official letter from the Burr City Government - I hope the teacher will leave immediately, without further delay. For this reason, the Burr City Government directly prepared weapons and enough supplies for the teacher. Supplies, horses."
Coffin deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "immediately, immediately".
"In the same way, if the teacher doesn't start the trip to Aesop's ancient city immediately, the city government will withdraw all funding, and will sue the teacher in the House of Commons."
"What does the big guy have to do with the City of Burr?"
The young man looked at Qin Ran puzzled.
"The big guy has nothing to do with Burr City!"
"Just related to some monsters!"
As he spoke, Kieran looked at Herbert and Pierre.
Coincidentally, the two also looked up here.
The next moment, the three of them stood up at the same time and walked to the side.
"Night Seeds Really Exist?"
Peel, the scholar's housekeeper, servant, and bodyguard, was still a little dazed at this moment.
"certainly!"
"Moreover, they are far more powerful than we imagined!"
"Before the three guys happened to appear here when you went to the city hall to collect donations, I had some doubts, and now there is no doubt."
"Night Seeds at least have a place in Burr City Council!"
"Now, they can't wait to let Herbert leave, which is enough to prove that the guy who used the big guy as bait is one of the night monsters!"
"Because of this, they are worried that we will follow the clues and find more night-species monsters!"
Qin Ran nodded and said.
"That is to say, we have to leave?"
Peel frowned.
It seemed a little reconciled.
"It seems inevitable from the present!"
"Unless you can tell who is a human and who is a night monster - although this is not difficult, but don't forget the identity of the people you want to tell, they are all figures with heads and faces."
"If they are really night monsters, then everything is easy to say, we have an absolute position!"
"But if we make a mistake, we will inevitably fall into an extremely embarrassing situation. At that time, the real night monster can use the power in his hands to give us the title of 'assassination of political leaders' and arrest us!"
"Even ordinary policemen can't do anything to us, but what about the army?"
Qin Ran shrugged.
Several shots were fired, but Qin Ran didn't care.
Even if there are dozens of them, Kieran doesn't care.
But what about artillery?
A few or a dozen cannons fired in salvo, even with the [Prussian Armor], and when the number increased sharply again, Kieran couldn't think of other possibilities except for his body being smashed to pieces.
"2567, you once said that there may be 'weapons' hidden in the ancient city of Aesop to deal with the night species?"
Herbert spoke suddenly.
"Um."
"However, that's just a guess!"
Qin Ran emphasized.
"Even if it's just a guess, it's enough to make us act!"
"lets go!"
"We don't have any more options!"
"Also, we need to be prepared—I have a hunch that those 'Night Seeds' will not allow us to reach the ancient city of Aesop safely!"
Herbert turned and walked back.
Qin Ran and Pierre followed closely.
About half an hour later, a small convoy set off overnight.
Everyone in the convoy wore weapons and stared around solemnly.
Even the cook is no exception.
Although Herbert didn't explain in detail, the hasty departure overnight already showed that things had changed, and it was a bad change.
Therefore, everyone's heart is full of tension.
Qin Ran was no exception.
However, the experience of several dungeon worlds made him used to this kind of tension.
Therefore, Qin Ran offered to walk in the front of the convoy as a scout.
Kieran, who did not have the corresponding skills, did not choose to ride a horse, but walked forward.
He and the team behind him kept at about 20 meters.
A distance that can provide both early warning and support in the event of an accident.
The dark night is depressing.
Especially when the moon is covered by a dark cloud, the surroundings immediately become invisible.
Qin Ran, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped.
Because, the voice belonging to the convoy suddenly disappeared in his ears.
Whether it is the trampling of horses.
Still the sound of wheels rolling.
All disappeared.
