The darkness of night dissipated in the busyness of Qin Ran and Gong Lansen.
Just before dawn, he made another appointment with Gong Lansen, bid farewell to Qin Ran and returned to his residence.
In the newly cleaned room, Kieran picked up the skill book on the side - the items dropped after killing, the aborigines cannot see or touch.
[Discover the skill book: unlock!]
[Do you want to study?]
"yes!"
[Learning Skill: Lockpicking]
[Name: Unlock (Basic)]
[Related attributes: agility, perception]
[Skill Category: Assist]
[Effect: You know how to use hairpins, iron wires, long-handled screwdrivers, etc. to open uncomplicated locks!]
[Deplete power]
[Learning conditions: none]
[Remarks: When unlocking, make sure that no one is around!]
…
Relevant knowledge was instilled into Qin Ran's mind again. Subconsciously, Qin Ran touched the hairpin, one of the lockpicking tools. The familiar feeling that appeared when his fingertips touched slightly made the corners of Qin Ran's mouth turn up slightly.
Although he has experienced it several times, every time, Kieran is shocked by the magic of his skills.
After carefully feeling the changes brought about by the skill [Unlock], Qin Ran folded his clothes and lay down on the bed.
There is still a little while before dawn.
It was enough to give him a little rest.
Qin Ran cherishes this very much.
Because, he knows that in the next few days, there will not be many opportunities for such a "stable" rest.
…
At about seven o'clock in the morning, the sky was already bright.
Qin Ran appeared at St. Paul's School again.
"Morning, Lid!"
Qin Ran greeted the school captain.
"snort!"
The captain of the nursing school once again expressed his disapproval for Qin Ran's arrival.
However, the same is not blocked.
For Lid, Sister Moni's orders far outweighed her own emotions.
Kieran didn't care about the cold eyes of the captain of the school, and walked towards the night watchman's hut where Gong Lansen was staying.
"Morning, Qin Ran!"
"I have bread, milk and honey here!"
"Of course, I prefer the roast pork leg!"
Compared to the captain of the nursing school, Gong Lansen welcomed Qin Ran very much and invited him to have breakfast together.
The small dining table is full of stacks.
No one can believe that there is so much food, it is the breakfast of a nearly eighty-year-old man, especially the roasted pork leg that is enough for three or four adult men to share.
"Meat, I like it too!"
Qin Ran smiled and did not refuse.
After last night's cooperation, the relationship between the two has obviously taken a step closer, changing from acquaintances to friends.
During breakfast, neither of them talked about what happened last night.
Even if Sister Moni did not appear at the dinner table, the two maintained a tacit understanding.
The only thing that made Kieran feel pity was that these foods were still only able to fill his stomach, without the option of increasing life and restoring physical strength.
However, this did not prevent Qin Ran from appreciating delicious food.
Almost in a turmoil, Kieran ate up the food in front of him.
This left the guardian knight dumbfounded.
"Could it be that my cooking skills have improved a lot?"
Such doubts made Gong Lansen subconsciously taste the food in front of him.
Then, the way he looked at Qin Ran became more and more strange.
If it wasn't for Qin Ran's well-dressed clothes, he would almost have thought he had encountered a refugee. After all, even a commoner knew a little about table manners, and he didn't have that much appetite.
But under Gong Lansen's gaze, Qin Ran was calm and composed.
After all, in Kieran's view, this does not conflict with his identity given by the dungeon, at most it just draws people's attention.
You know, he is just a detective, not an aristocrat.
But in Gong Lansen's view, this is another feeling.
Don't care about other people's eyes, just stick to your own heart, which has a hint of honor and disgrace.
Moreover, the strength is good and has a considerable reputation.
After a brief contact, Gong Lansen can also confirm that such a reputation is not in vain.
Seems to be... 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 was different from Kieran's wolfing down.
Although Gong Lansen's movements are fast, they give people a sense of elegance.
As a diner at the same table, Kieran regarded this as knight etiquette.
Then, I waited quietly.
Qin Ran who came to St. Paul's School early in the morning didn't just want to have breakfast with the other party, he had other things to do.
Of course, that also needs to wait for the other party to finish eating before talking.
Kieran understood such basic etiquette.
And at Gong Lansen's speed, he didn't need to wait too long.
five minutes.
Gong Lansen ate the last piece of bread and started to tidy up the tableware. Qin Ran very consciously joined in - he enjoyed a satisfying breakfast, and naturally he didn't mind repaying Gong Lansen with actions.
Washing the tableware also didn't take Qin Ran any more time.
After packing up all the tableware, Qin Ran and Gong Lansen sat down in front of the cabin again.
Subconsciously, Qin Ran wanted to discuss more details about last night's plan with Gong Lansen.
I didn't have enough time last night, I just made a rough plan, and many details need 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 thoughtless question made Qin Ran stunned.
Subconsciously, Kieran thought of the word 'test', but he couldn't be sure.
Because, in Kieran's view, this seemed a little sudden.
At least in Qin Ran's view, such a 'test' should not happen before the side missions are completely completed.
In Qin Ran's original prediction, only by completing the side missions could the relationship with Gong Lansen become or reach harmony, so that he could request to learn the other party's skills.
Then, the 'test' may appear.
Or, because the relationship is very good, the 'test' is exempted and the study request is directly accepted.
Kieran is no stranger to this game mode.
but now
Qin Ran frowned.
However, Kieran soon realized it.
Now is not the time for him to think about these things.
Quickly pulling back his thoughts, Kieran considered Gong Lansen's question.
Then, Qin Ran found that the other party's question was difficult to answer.
Because the era experienced by the other party ended with the appearance of gunpowder firearms.
The opponent's glory also became dim under the artillery fire.
But, for gunpowder firearms, that's just the beginning! Even, after going through hundreds of years, it has only touched the edge of the peak.
Qin Ran was well aware of this.
Therefore, it is difficult for him to answer.
It can't be said that this is the wheel of history, and everything that stands in the way will be crushed mercilessly, right
Qin Ran believed that what he said would definitely embarrass the harmonious relationship between the two parties.
As for saying something against the will to deceive the other party
Facts speak louder than words!
Qin Ran believed that the other party was not a fool. As the last guardian knight of the Dawn Church, the other party could clearly see the changes around him.
For a moment, Qin Ran was caught in a dilemma.
He had absolutely no idea how to answer.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
The expression on Gong Lansen's face became unhappy.
Then the unhappiness turned to anger.
Obviously, Qin Ran's long thinking made the other party feel dissatisfied.
"Haven't you figured it out yet?"
Finally, two minutes later, Gong Lansen asked again.
"No!"
"Or... I can't answer it!"
Qin Ran shook his head.
Both answers are unsatisfactory answers, no matter which one can't pass the 'test', it's better not to say it.
If he doesn't choose these two unsatisfactory answers, he can use other words to restore the relationship between the two parties.
After all, this is not a game of fixed choices!
This is an almost real virtual game where anything is possible!
"Hahaha!"
After Gong Lansen was silent for a few seconds, when Qin Ran was thinking about how to speak again, the other party suddenly laughed.
"Good answer!"
The other party said so.
"Um?"
Qin Ran was taken aback.
He is a little confused.
"The emergence of the age of gunpowder and steam engines is inevitable! Just like the age of knights!"
"The destruction of an era will surely give birth to a brighter era! Even if the process is not beautiful, it cannot be changed!"
"However, some traditions must be preserved—kindness!"
"Your inability to answer proves your kindness!"
Gong Lansen said with a smile, and he looked at Qin Ran with a little more appreciation, and he said: "Qin Ran, you have a considerable reputation and good strength. You will not be kind to the enemy, but you have Goodness! I think you can strengthen your own strength while carrying out your plan... Although we have entered the era 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 seriously.
"certainly!"
Qin Ran, who was grateful in his heart, replied without hesitation.
