When the night was completely upon us, two bonfires rose in the courtyard of Herbert's residence.

As the fire shone, Herbert and his student Jonah were whispering something, while Harold, who brought back the paper and pen, did not join in.

This decently dressed young man was busy with two coachmen and a cook in the house in front of another bonfire.

As for Coffin who went to the city?

I had returned here with Pier before and brought back three tents.

However, after talking to Herbert, Peel hurriedly left.

And, took Coffin away.

When he left, the Herbert's housekeeper, servant, and bodyguard expressed his gratitude to Qin Ran again.

In response to this, Qin Ran politely stated that he should have done it.

Then, watch the other party leave.

Although it was not stated clearly, the other party's expression when he left made Qin Ran understand that what he had to prepare for this trip to Aesop's ancient city was far more complicated than he imagined.

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

"arms!"

Qin Ran guessed with certainty.

Even if there is no such procurement option on the purchased material list.

After experiencing this afternoon, Herbert will definitely consider it.

After a brief contact, Qin Ran already had a certain understanding of Herbert's character.

Unlike other ‘scholars’ who are serious and stubborn.

He is not only optimistic, but also a person who knows how to adapt.

Of course, the other party sticks to the moral bottom line, which is what Qin Ran admires the most.

In Qin Ran's view, a scholar who would rather be broken than accept blackmail has surpassed most of the other seemingly tough scholars.

"Ode to Mr. 2567, dinner is ready!"

"Please come and have a meal!"

Harold, who rolled his sleeves to his elbows, walked over and said while rubbing his hands.

"OK!"

Qin Ran nodded and smiled.

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

At first glance, two young people who are born in the society can stay with the chef and coachman without any mind and help others serve the meal.

This is not an easy thing.

In Qin Ran's memory, a slightly richer family lived a life of clothes and food to open their mouths at the age of similar to the two young people in front of him.

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

"Your Excellency 2567, your supper!"

Joona handed a large wooden bowl full of soup to Qin Ran, and the cook next to her handed two pancakes the size of an adult male's palm.

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

The aroma penetrated into his nose, making Qin Ran swallow his saliva, took a sip, and then couldn't wait to stuff the whole wheat cake in his hand into his mouth and chewed it in big mouthfuls.

“Good craftsmanship!”

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

Although her mouth was filled with food and she couldn't pronounce it clearly, the cook liked such sincere praise, and immediately stuffed another cake into Qin Ran's hand.

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

Herbert brought his own supper a little earlier than Kiran.

However, the scholars in front of him were not in a hurry to have a meal.

He was writing quickly on paper with a pencil, sometimes drawing some graphics, and then marking it next to it.

Herbert was unaware of the Qin Ran who had come over.

When Qin Ran finished his 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 most."

After Jonah put Herbert's dinner at one bonfire, she lowered her voice and said to Qin Ran.

"I admire people who are fully committed."

Qin Ran said with a smile.

This is not a polite word, but a real one.

Because Qin Ran knew very well how amazing it was to concentrate on doing an event.

The same view immediately brought Qin Ran and Qiong Na closer, making the girl who was originally a little timid about Qin Ran become familiar with him.

"As Cofin said, have you really hunted and killed giant crocodiles dozens of meters?"

"And ghosts!"

The girl asked with curiosity.

"Not a few dozen meters, just a dozen meters."

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

Qin Ran shrugged his shoulders.

"Where is that ghost?"

"Are they still looking for the most cherished person with their memories of their lives?"

In the words, a trace of inexplicable yearning appeared in Joona's expression.

Undoubtedly, the girl's curiosity is more sentimental.

Unfortunately, Qin Ran couldn't see it at all.

He said straight away.

"Won't!"

"Most of the things I've seen are monsters that are disgusting instincts for living creatures!"

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

"Remember, they can get stuck in the wall, so you'd better not stand against the wall, and always be careful with your feet!"

The conversation that should have a romantic atmosphere in an instant turned into combat teaching.

In fact, if Joona wanted to ask Qin Ran for some combat issues at this time, Qin Ran would definitely not mind teaching the other party one or two tricks.

Unfortunately, the girl in front of her was not interested in fighting.

Especially, after Qin Ran personally broke her always-present fantasy.

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

After saying that, Joona walked to the other side of the bonfire and picked up the paper and pen.

"Sorry, Your Excellency 2567!"

Harold, who had been watching here, immediately walked over and said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter."

Qin Ran didn't understand why Qiongna was angry, and she wouldn't be angry because the other party was angry. He wouldn't care about the views of an indigenous person who had just met him.

Unless it is related to the task.

Similarly, he doesn't mind getting more news related to the main mission.

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

Qin Ran asked.

"The legend of Aesop's ancient city is a fortress established by the Nick Dynasty!"

"But, 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! But no more evidence was left, but there was only a few words in some ancient books, as if they were broken overnight."

"But the teacher firmly believes that this dynasty has 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 Qin Ran and told the real reason for this trip to Aesop's ancient city.
