Chapter 409 Continuation of Mistakes

Luo Du knew of Herbert's whereabouts, which did not surprise Qin Ran.

In fact, this was within Kieran's expectations.

There is no need for more inferences or guesses, just the simplest one: he is just going through a special instance with a difficulty of four.

Therefore, it will be a little difficult to find Herbert, but it is not a needle in a haystack in the entire dungeon world.

If it is the latter, then the difficulty is at least a dozen or so times before the dungeon world is likely to appear.

Therefore, Kieran is sure that even if Herbert is not in Burr City, he should be around Burr City.

However, what Kieran didn't expect was that Herbert was actually in prison.

"I discovered the whereabouts of Your Excellency Herbert by accident. I originally wanted to tell you at a more appropriate time, but I think these are not important compared to your friendship!"

Luo Du changed back to the businessman again, sat in the new carriage, and spoke to Qin Ran with a smile.

Qin Ran nodded noncommittally.

'appropriate'? What is 'proper'?

It's just a better price.

But now the other party is paying more attention to the strength he has shown.

Qin Ran was well aware of this.

"I think we'll have the friendship you want!"

Qin Ran said emphatically.

He accepted a favor from the other party and gave him a guarantee.

"Thanks!"

Luo Du said with a smile.

Before Qin Ran's eyes, there was a reminder that the side mission [Trace] was completed, and everything became clear just as the note said.

For Kieran, only when Herbert was well protected would he be able to dig out other side quests and events.

Otherwise, no amount of money would be able to make up for the punishment for failing the main mission.

The carriage moved on and stopped in the suburbs of Burr City.

With Luo Du leading the way, Qin Ran arrived at the prison where Herbert was held unimpeded.

It's not the kind of sealed and tightly guarded cell that houses serious offenders.

It is a small single room with a view of the corridor.

There were two people living in each single room, but he was the only one in Herbert's room.

By the way, Herbert's alias is Zeon.

As for the charges?

It is a fake painting.

A crime that is neither serious nor serious, neither attracts people's attention nor will it be completely ignored, and can also use money to sort out the relationship. As long as the deceived are not held accountable, everything can be safe and sound.

Obviously, when Herbert chose to enter the prison, he was well prepared.

For the sake of safety, the scholar has considered everything from the jailer to the inmates.

So, he's doing just fine.

The information that Luo Du told him appeared in his mind, and Kieran stood in the corridor, looked at Herbert who hadn't seen him for a long time, and couldn't help but secretly nodded.

Not as unkempt and skinny as imagined.

On the contrary, he has a neat beard and hair, a ruddy complexion, and a lot of energy.

There was even a book in Herbert's hands.

This is not the treatment of ordinary people.

"If everyone is as comfortable as you in prison, I think this place will become the place everyone yearns for!"

Facing Herbert who was devoting himself to reading, Kieran spoke first.

Across the iron fence of the cell, Herbert raised his head in surprise.

When he saw Qin Ran appearing in front of him, he stood up excitedly.

"2567, are you okay?"

"That's great!"

Herbert said happily.

"Of course it's fine!"

Qin Ran said with a smile, Luo Du on the side had already taken the key from the apprehensive cell boss, opened the cell door, and wanted to help Herbert out himself.

However, old scholars obviously don't need these.

He threw away Luo Du, walked two steps to Qin Ran, looked at Qin Ran carefully, and confirmed Qin Ran's identity with a series of means, and Qin Ran did the same.

When the two of them confirmed that the other was not some fake monster, the old scholar held Qin Ran's hand with one hand and patted Qin Ran's shoulder lightly with the other.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

The old scholar said.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

Qin Ran responded with a smile.

...

The carriage started again.

Kieran and his huge backpack were on one side, while Herbert and Luo Du were sitting opposite.

"So many things happened!"

After listening to Qin Ran's narration, Herbert let out a long sigh.

Then, he gestured towards Qin Ran without any trace.

This was one of several gestures made by several people in the ruins of the ancient city of Aesop in order to avoid the "eavesdropping" of Ye Zhong. The general meaning is: Is it safe around you?

In other words, is Rodu reliable?

"Well, it seems like another day!"

"Herbert, you can take a good rest, and leave the rest to me!"

Qin Ran nodded and said.

Without any substantive words, it is enough for old scholars to understand what is going on.

Rodu is unreliable.

Even though the new sheriff has some things that Kieran admires, he can't trust him.

For a suspicious person like Qin Ran, trust without time and proof of life and death is fragile.

Rodu didn't seem to notice.

The new police chief, who kept smiling, glanced at Kieran and Herbert for a moment, and finally settled on Kieran.

"Your Excellency 2567, although there are some deviations, our first cooperation is still a success!"

"So, I hope you can cooperate with me again!"

"I want to pursue the victory and clean up all the monsters in Burr City..."

"no!"

The old scholar didn't wait until the new sheriff finished speaking, and interrupted the other party's words.

"You have no idea what kind of monster you are facing!"

"What you saw before was just the tip of the iceberg of these monsters. Their horror is far beyond what you can think of Rodu--if you have a fully armed army of 10,000 people, I can accept your proposal, if not , I think Luo Du you need to be cautious!"

Herbert looked at Luo Du seriously, and the latter's expression was full of disbelief.

Although he has never had contact with Herbert, Luo Du has heard of Herbert's reputation. He knows that the other party is rigorous in his studies and seeks truth from facts, but what the other party said really makes him unbelievable.

"Excuse me, but you mean an army of 10,000 people in full armor?"

Unable to bear it, Luo Du asked again with an emphatic tone.

"That's right!"

"And, it must be artillery with heavy firepower!"

Herbert nodded and said with certainty.

This time, Luo Du was silent.

It is true that he is the newly appointed sheriff, but he is not a general with real power. How can there be an army of 10,000 with heavy firepower?

His subordinates add up to only a few dozen people, and he suffered heavy losses before, only seven or eight people remained.

Seven or eight people can exert the fighting power of ten thousand people, which is something you don't even need to think about.

Moreover, more importantly, there are no soldiers in the barracks closest to Burr City, and there are no more than 2,000 soldiers at most.

Qin Ran was also silent.

He believed that Herbert would not be aimless, since he mentioned these needs, it must be useful.

"There are so many of those monsters?"

"Or is it that powerful to that extent?"

Qin Ran guessed in his heart.

The silence continued until Rat's mansion.

When entering the guest room where Qin Ran lived temporarily, all irrelevant personnel left first, and before Qin Ran could speak, Herbert spoke first.

"Before, we made a big mistake in the ancient city of Aesop!"

The old scholar said with guilt and self-blame.
