The night dissipated in the busyness of Qin Ran and Gong Lansen.

Moments before dawn, Qin Ran, who had made another agreement with Gong Lansen and said goodbye, returned to his residence.

In the room that had been cleaned again, Qin Ran picked up the skill book on the side - the items dropped after killing were not visible or touched by the aborigines.

[Discover the Skill Book: Unlock Picking!] 】

[Do you want to study?] 】

"Yes!"

[Learning Skill: Unlock Picking]

【Prerequisites:None】

[Note: When unlocking, be sure to make sure that there is no one around!] 】

……

Relevant knowledge was once again instilled into Qin Ran's mind, and subconsciously Qin Ran found out the hairpin of one of the lock-picking tools, and the familiarity that appeared when the fingertips touched slightly made the corners of Qin Ran's mouth slightly upturned.

Although he had experienced it several times, each time, Qin Ran was shocked by the magic of the skill.

After carefully feeling the changes brought about by the skill [Unlocking], Qin Ran lay on the bed with his clothes closed.

It's still a little bit before dawn.

It was enough to give him a little rest.

Qin Ran cherishes this.

Because, he knew that in the next few days, there would not be many opportunities for such a 'peaceful' rest.

……

Around seven o'clock in the morning, it was already dark.

Qin Ran appeared at St. Paul's School again.

"Morning, Lead!"

Qin Ran greeted the captain of the nursing school.

"Humph!"

The captain of the nursing school once again expressed his diswelcome to Qin Ran's arrival.

However, there is no obstacle either.

For Lead, Sister Moni's orders were far higher than her own emotions.

Qin Ran didn't care about the cold eyes of the captain of the school guard, and walked towards the night watchman's hut where Gong Lansen was located.

"Morning, Qin Ran!"

"I've got bread, milk and honey here!"

"Of course, I prefer roast pork legs!"

Compared with the captain of the nursing school, Gong Lansen welcomed Qin Ran's arrival very much, and invited Qin Ran to have breakfast together.

The small dining table is full of piles.

Anyone who saw it couldn't believe that there was so much food, it was the breakfast of an almost eighty-year-old man, especially the roast pork leg that was enough for three or four adult men to eat.

"Meat, I like it too!"

Qin Ran smiled and did not refuse.

After last night's cooperation, the relationship between the two has obviously become closer, changing from acquaintances to friends.

During breakfast, neither of them talked about the previous night.

Even if Sister Moni didn't show up at the table, the two maintained a tacit understanding.

And the only thing that made Qin Ran feel sorry was that these foods were still only able to fill his stomach, and there was no option to increase his life and restore his strength.

However, this did not prevent Qin Ran from appreciating delicious food.

Almost swept away, Qin Ran ate the food in front of him cleanly.

This left the Guardian Knight dumbfounded.

"Am I making great strides?"

Such doubts made Gong Lansen subconsciously taste the food in front of him.

Then, his gaze at Qin Ran became more and more weird.

If it weren't for Qin Ran's well-dressed clothes, he would almost have thought that he had met a refugee, after all, even if he was a civilian, he knew a little bit about table manners, and he didn't have such a big appetite.

Under Gong Lansen's gaze, Qin Ran was calm.

After all, in Qin Ran's opinion, this does not conflict with the identity given to him by the copy, at most it is just sideways.

You know, he's just a detective, not a nobleman.

But in Gong Lansen's view, it is another feeling.

doesn't care about the eyes of others, only sticks to his own heart, and has a hint of honor and disgrace.

Moreover, the strength is good, and it has a considerable reputation.

After a short period of contact, Gonransen can also confirm that such a reputation is not for nothing.

Seem...... A nice young man!

Gong Lansen thought to himself as he wiped out the food in front of him at the same speed.

However, it is different from Qin Ran's gobbling.

Gong Lansen's movements, although fast, give a sense of elegance.

As a diner at the same table, Qin Ran regarded this as knightly etiquette.

Then, just wait.

Qin Ran, who came to St. Paul's School early in the morning, didn't come to accompany the other party for breakfast, he also had other things.

Of course, you also need to wait for the other party to finish eating before talking.

Qin Ran understands such basic etiquette.

And at the speed of Gong Lansen, there is no need to wait too long.

Five minutes.

Gong Lansen ate the last slice of bread and began to clean up the dishes, Qin Ran consciously joined in - he enjoyed a very satisfying breakfast, and naturally did not mind repaying Gong Lansen with actions.

Washing the dishes also didn't take Qin Ran more time.

After putting away all the utensils, Qin Ran and Gong Lansen sat down in front of the cabin again.

Qin Ran subconsciously wanted to discuss more details about last night's plan with Gong Lansen.

Last night didn't have enough time, just a rough plan, and a lot of details needed to be added.

However, before Qin Ran could speak, Gong Lansen opened his mouth first.

"Qin Ran, what do you think of gunpowder firearms?"

Gong Lansen asked abruptly.

The brainless question made Qin Ran stunned.

Subconsciously, Qin Ran thought of the word 'test', but he couldn't be sure.

Because, this seemed to Qin Ran to be a little sudden.

At least in Qin Ran's opinion, before the side quest is completely completed, such a 'test' should not appear.

In Qin Ran's original prediction, only by completing the side quest would he be able to become or achieve a harmonious relationship with Gong Lansen, so that he could make a request to learn the other party's skills.

Then there will be a 'test'.

Or, because the relationship is good, they are exempt from the 'test' and directly agree to the request to study.

Qin Ran is no stranger to such a game mode.

But now?

Qin Ran frowned.

However, soon, Qin Ran reacted.

Now was not the time for him to think about that.

Quickly pulling back his train of thought, Qin Ran considered Gong Lansen's question.

Then, Qin Ran found that the other party's question was difficult to answer.

Because the era that the other party experienced ended because of the appearance of gunpowder and firearms.

The glory of the other party also became dim in the artillery fire.

However, for gunpowder firearms, this is just the beginning! Even, after hundreds of years, it has only touched the edge of the peak.

Qin Ran knew this.

So, it's hard for him to answer.

It can't be said that this is the wheel of history, and anything that stands in the way will be crushed mercilessly, right?

Qin Ran believed that what he said would definitely make the relationship between the two sides that was still harmonious become awkward.

As for saying something against your will to deceive the other party?

Actions speak louder than words!

Qin Ran believed that the other party was not a fool, and the other party, as the last guardian knight of the Dawn Church, could undoubtedly clearly see the changes around him.

For a while, Qin Ran was in a dilemma.

He had no idea how to answer.

Minutes and seconds passed.

The look on Gonransen's face became unhappy.

Then the unhappiness turned into irritation.

Obviously, Qin Ran's long thinking made the other party feel dissatisfied.

"Haven't you thought about it yet?"

Finally, two minutes later, Gong Lansen asked again.

"Nope!"

Or ...... I can't answer something! ”

Qin Ran shook his head.

Both answers are unsatisfactory answers, and it is better not to say anything about either of them if they fail the 'test'.

If he doesn't choose these two unsatisfactory answers, he can use other words to save the relationship between the two parties.

After all, this is not a game of fixed choices!

It's a virtually real virtual game, and anything is possible!

"Hahaha!"

Gong Lansen was silent for a few seconds, and just as Qin Ran was thinking about how to speak again, the other party suddenly burst out laughing.

"Nice answer!"

The other party said.

"Huh?"

Qin Ran was stunned.

He didn't know why.

"The emergence of the era of gunpowder and steam engines will be inevitable! Just like in the days of knighthood! ”

"The fall of an era will give birth to a more brilliant era! Even if the process is not pretty, it cannot be changed! ”

"However, there are some traditions that must be preserved - kindness!"

"Your inability to answer proves your kindness!"

Gong Lansen said with a smile, he looked at Qin Ran with a little more appreciation in his eyes, and he said: "Qin Ran, you have a considerable reputation, good strength, you will not be merciful to the enemy, but you have kindness!" I think you can strengthen yourself a little bit while you are working on your plans...... Although we have now entered the age of gunpowder and steam engines, some ancient knowledge is still very useful! ”

"Qin Ran, are you willing to learn this knowledge from me?"

Gong Lansen asked solemnly.

"Of course!"

Qin Ran, who was cheering in his heart, replied without hesitation.
