The strong wind blew across the camp.

The curtains on the tent were clamoring.

But it became more and more deadly in front of me.

This feeling of dead silence made Qin Ran frown.

Especially when I walked into the camp gate, I tightened the handle of the gun and prepared to deal with all dangers.

However, nothing happened from the camp gate to the end of the camp.

Qin Ran carefully checked every tent during this period.

But as I saw before, there were no figures.

Moreover, there is no shortage of items in the tent.

Whether it is property or weapon, it is placed there casually, as if the owner of a tent is in it.

Qin Ran even saw a bowl with food in a tent.

I ate about half of the food in the bowl.

Then, it is placed there.

Neither continued to finish eating nor poured out.

Just let it corrode and deteriorate.

It was like the person who was eating disappeared out of thin air.

"Disappeared out of thin air!"

Qin Ran's heart was shaking.

He immediately entered the field of vision of [tracking].

But time has long erased the mark it should have.

"At least, it disappeared for more than a week!"

Qin Ran inferred based on experience and then narrowed his eyes.

One week.

And they set out from Burr, a week ago.

At about the same time, Qin Ran had to make some more guesses.

"If that's the case..."

Qin Ran's expression became solemn.

Then, he quickly walked to the end of the camp: the road to the ancient city of Aesop.

The ancient city of Aesop is a monument covered by a large forest.

However, as the gold inside was discovered by an explorer, the ancient city of Aesop, which was originally hidden in the forest, was completely regained the light of day.

A cut-out road leads straight to the ancient city from the end of the camp.

The location where Qin Ran stood was clearly seen in a corner of the ancient city.

Moreover, on both sides of the road, Qin Ran saw many axes still on the ground or embedded in tree trunks.

Obviously, those who set up gold digger camps are not satisfied with the status quo and are still developing them.

Unfortunately, this development was not completed and everyone disappeared.

After stopping in place for a moment, Qin Ran did not go deep into the ancient city of Aesop, but returned the same way.

He thought the strange scene in front of him needed to inform Herbert and Peel.

After all, Herbert, as a scholar, is likely to know something.

...

"Everyone disappeared?"

When Herbert heard Qin Ran’s story, he was stunned.

"Yes, everything is there, but everyone is gone!"

"It's like... disappearing out of thin air!"

Qin Ran frowned.

"One thousand five hundred years ago, the Nick Dynasty, which unified the entire world, was also fragmented overnight, and seemed to have completely disappeared from the world..."

Herbert whispered to himself.

Qin Ran and Pier looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.

As a player who is just entering the dungeon world, although Qin Ran has heard Herbert's story, he has never linked the scene that happened in the Gold Digger Camp with the scene that happened in the Nick Dynasty a thousand five hundred years ago.

And Peel?

He heard more.

But he was more accustomed to focusing on Herbert's daily life, rather than the legendary story.

"Herbert, we should return!"

"The things in front of us are no longer something we can handle!"

"You have enough evidence now to prove the existence of the Nick Dynasty, and there is no need to take risks!"

Peel said.

As a warrior, Peel never minded taking risks, but as Herbert's housekeeper and bodyguard, he never wanted to let Herbert take risks.

Qin Ran didn't say anything.

He hopes that Herbert will help him explore the ancient city of Aesop.

But he cannot force the other party.

Not only because it violates his principles of doing things, but he knows that forcing someone like Herbert will only backfire.

"Pierre, don't be nervous. Night-seeded monsters cannot cause the disappearance of the Nick Dynasty. Otherwise, they would not have been encircled and suppressed by the Nick Dynasty!"

"The situation in front of you is just similar!"

Herbert comforted his housekeeper and bodyguard.

"But it's dangerous enough!"

Peel reminded Herbert.

"But we can no longer look back!"

"The night-seeded monster has already blocked our retreat, so we can only keep moving forward!"

Herbert laughed, with no tension in his expression, but instead relaxed.

"Then we have to give it a try, too!"

“It’s better than continuing!”

Peel insisted on his own opinion.

"No, no!"

"If we continue, we don't have more dangers. Before we guessed that they would give us a fatal blow in front of Aesop's ancient city, and Aesop's ancient city is completely unsuitable for combat. The Gold Digger Camp is the best choice, but the investigation of 2567 told us that the Gold Digger Camp is empty!"

"Not just ordinary humans, there are not even the night-type monsters mixed in it!"

"This is our opportunity!"

Herbert shook his head.

"Same, it may be a bigger trap!"

"There are too coincidentals in time."

Qin Ran raised his right index finger, looked at Herbert, Peel and the others, and said his previous guess with a serious expression.

"One week!"

"The guys at the Gold Digger Camp disappeared for a week, and it happened that we set out a week ago really forced me to think of something!"

"We encountered an attack when we set out again a week ago, the only attack."

"Maybe the strength we showed was beyond the expectations of the Night-Seed Monster. Maybe something happened inside the Night-Seed Monster, but in the end, they changed their original plan: from blocking Herbert to "cooperating" Herbert to reaching Aesop's ancient city."

"For that 'thing'!"

In the word "story", Qin Ran has aggravated the pronunciation.

"So, the night-seeded monsters are now looking forward to me using my knowledge to help them find that 'thing' in the ancient city of Aesop?"

"That is, we are all safe before we find the 'thing' they want."

Herbert agreed with Qin Ran's idea, and Peel, who was standing beside him, nodding without refuting Qin Ran's statement.

Herbert frowned and pondered for a moment, and continued.

"Perhaps, those night-seeded monsters will protect us from other threats!"

"If we speculate based on this, it is likely that the people in the Gold Digger Camp disappeared out of thin air because of the work of these monsters!"

"Of course there may be other reasons, but in my opinion, this is the fact that the night monsters don't want these people to disturb me to find that 'thing' in the ancient city of Aesop and clear the obstacles!"

"After all, that 'thing' is really too important to them!"

There are two words written in bright red liquid on it
