At the end of the crowd, stood a man in a cloak.

The hood was not put on, allowing Qin Ran to clearly see the other party's face.

She has neat red ear-length short hair, a slightly tough facial line, and wheat-colored skin, but there is no sense of mercenaries and bounty hunters, only vitality and health.

And what attracted Qin Ran's attention was the box behind the other party.

Or, to be exact, a box.

A box that is one person high, one meter wide, and two fists thick looks extremely heavy.

As for the empty box?

Connecting the box to the other party's shoulder, there is a palm-wide cowhide shoulder strap, but it is straight.

You can't do this without enough portions.

"Weapons?"

"Or armor?"

Qin Ran guessed.

And whether it is a weapon or armor, a person who can withstand such a weight in battle is definitely a good hand.

Immediately, Qin Ran kept the other party in his heart.

Not only because of the strength of the other party, but also because of the hints of the side quests.

In fact, in addition to the other party, there were several noteworthy people who were remembered by Qin Ran in his heart one by one.

Undoubtedly, for a period of time after that, even if these people passed the screening and entered the escort team, they were the focus of observation.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Twenty minutes later, when no one appeared, Qin Ran spoke.

"I'll reintroduce my own name: 2567."

"You can call me that, or call me any other code name instead, but I repeat—"

"Everything has to be according to my rules!"

"This is my last reiteration, I don't want to say more, if someone violates my rules, I promise to make him feel the pain of life worse than death!"

With pretended coldness and sternness, Qin Ran said word by word.

Under the backdrop of a few weak and frightened applicants around him, such a performance was obviously a success, and the rest of the mercenaries and bounty hunters who came to apply didn't say much.

Of course, Qin Ran clearly saw that several of them were communicating with each other in the form of eye contact.

Among them, there are those who are listed as the key objects of observation.

"It's really funny!"

Qin Ran sneered in his heart.

He remembered very well that the subjects he had made a focus of observation had come separately, alone, or in the midst of other teams.

However, now it is with eye contact.

This kind of extraordinary tacit understanding is not something that strangers can have.

However, Qin Ran was silent.

didn't even look at the other party, for Qin Ran, he had already remembered the other party in his heart, and there was no need to deepen his impression at all.

"Bill, Keith!"

Qin Ran turned his head and shouted behind him.

Harold and Jona's coachman and bodyguard walked over quickly.

"Your Excellency 2567!"

Both saluted at the same time.

Harold and Joanna had already instructed the two of them before to completely obey Qin Ran's orders regarding the selection of guards.

This is a very important matter for the upcoming ancient city of Aesop, and it is related to the safety of their employer, so the two naturally have no objections.

Especially when Qin Ran showed extraordinary strength.

You must know that in the early hours of the morning, when Qin Ran appeared carrying the fat prisoner and carrying the huge backpack, the two people who were on vigil were completely taken aback.

Not to mention the huge backpack, just the fat captive is not something that the two of them can carry, let alone walk like a fly.

Suddenly, the two of them had some faith in some rumors about Qin Ran.

This made the two less and less resistant to their employer's instructions.

Strong strength always brings a lot of convenience.

Regarding this point, Qin Ran, who had experienced several copy worlds, already had a deep understanding, and he didn't mind getting some convenience without violating his bottom line.

"Please register the weapons they are good at separately and do some simple tests!"

Qin Ran said.

"Okay, Your Excellency 2567!"

The two bodyguards and coachmen immediately took action.

There were as many as thirty or forty mercenaries and bounty hunters who came to apply for the guards.

If Qin Ran alone registered and tested, the time and energy spent would definitely be beyond imagination.

However, with the help of Bill and Case, it was different.

Not only did Qin Ran save enough time, but he was also able to devote his energy to observing the actions of the object.

Bill and Case split the candidates into two columns.

Those who are good at cold weapons are on Bill's side.

Those who were good at gunpowder weapons sided with Keith.

Of course, these mercenaries and bounty hunters are definitely not good at just one.

Moreover, they carry a wide variety of weapons, almost all of them carry rifles and long swords, and some even carry heavy weapons such as maces.

"Gunpowder has just risen, and the long sword has never ended......"

Qin Ran looked at the scene in front of him and muttered softly to himself.

And in the bottom of his heart, he thought of the guardian knight who carried the weight of history: Gong Lansen.

"Presumably Gong Lansen was born in such an era, right?"

"You can fight with a sword, or you can decide the winner with a single shot!"

"But with the passage of time, the convenience and speed of the latter will inevitably make it the mainstream of the times, and the unwilling struggle of the former will only bring the pain and sorrow of the times!"

Qin Ran imagined Gong Lansen's experience, and an inexplicable feeling rose in his heart.

Unable to achieve empathy.

It's just that...... Slightly understood.

Looking at the choice of weapons by the mercenaries and bounty hunters in front of him, Qin Ran suddenly understood why Gong Lansen was lonely and left alone in the most remote and forgotten corner of the school.

Because, the other party itself is an outcast of the times.

"An outcast of the times?"

"What despair that is!"

"Abandoned by the whole world, even if you live, you are like the walking dead......"

"It's horrible!"

Qin Ran recalled Gong Lansen's living state, and a chill ran through his whole body from the depths of his soul.

He was sure that it wasn't what he was after.

But in the same way, for the sake of a certain goal, give up the hope of living and choose death.

Nor is it what he is after.

"Death, boom!"

"Stay alive, stay alive!"

"I choose ......"

Qin Ran wanted to choose an answer, but this choice was too difficult for Qin Ran.

For more than ten minutes, Qin Ran didn't make a choice.

Even, the whole person became confused.

Until Joanna on the side woke him up.

Qin Ran subconsciously turned his head to look.

The fat captives had awakened and were struggling to their feet, the iron locks that bound each other becoming overwhelmed by the creaking and crunching sounds.

And the petite Joanna stood less than three meters away from each other.

It looks like he's standing next to an angry bear.

Case, who was registering, changed his face and was about to rush over to his employer.

But before he could make any move, he was stopped by Qin Ran.

"Keep up what you do!"

"He'll give it to me!"

As soon as the words fell, Qin Ran appeared in front of Joanna in a flash, blocking the other party behind him.

"Thank you!"

Qin Ran said abruptly to Joanna behind him, and in the other party's unknown expression, he walked towards the fat captive.

Syllable!

A small electric spark appeared on Qin Ran's right hand.

Then, another one.

Then, another one followed.

When Qin Ran took the third step, the electricity was completely wrapped around Qin Ran's right hand, bringing the unique rhythm of thunder and lightning.

For a while, the people who saw this scene were so stunned that they almost forgot to breathe.
