long night fire

He asked instead:

"Who can get more high-performance batteries?"

The member of the town guard quietly breathed a sigh of relief:

"Mr. DiMarco's steward, Ulrich, who is in charge of 'Visa Trading' energy-related matters.

"Also, Anhebas also has channels, maybe there are still stocks."

The high-performance battery smuggling industry is classified in the energy field, and although Anhebas "contributed" a batch of arms to Shang Jianyao and the others, they are actually closer to energy merchants.

——He sold weapons to the mountain monsters, also for the coal business.

"Very good!" Shang Jian Yao smiled.

He then asked a new question:

"Who is the current sheriff and captain of the town guard?"

"Captain Tan Jie Tan." The member of the town guard replied truthfully.

"Oh, him." Shang Jian Yao nodded happily, "I just like the way he has no expression and swears."

This... Long Yuehong suddenly felt that Shang Jianyao's performance today was more exaggerated than before.

He couldn't help muttering:

"What happened to him today?"

Jiang Baimian touched his ears and said solemnly:

"Maybe it's Shang Jianyao who is performing now."

"Uh..." Long Yuehong was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

This is all the fault of the old world episodes!

"I feel like he has come home." Gnava gave his own evaluation.

"They are all his brothers." Jiang Baimian explained without thinking.

Bai Chen whispered:

"Effects of old world entertainment material..."

At this time, Shang Jianyao had already changed several topics, for example, did anyone from "Mechanical Paradise" come over recently.

He finally asked:

"Who is the new bishop?"

The town guard member replied:

"Bishop Antoniola, looks strong."

Jiang Baimian took a few steps forward and asked:

"Did he come by himself?"

"No." The member of the town guard shook his head, "There is also His Excellency 'Bishop of Fear' St. Sigmund and other priests, but they left after going to the island in the middle of the lake. You have been there. that."

"Did they take anything back? Has there been any change in the island in the middle of the lake?" Jiang Baimian mainly wanted to ask this.

"I don't know." The member of the town guard thought for a while and said that he didn't know, "Anyway, we are forbidden to approach that island in any form. Why do we need to prohibit it? How dare we go to the lake with murlocs around? Heart?"

Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian asked about other things, and got a general idea of ​​the current situation of Hongshiji.

Apart from the appointment of the new bishop, the most notable change is that Herwig's widow, Mrs. Teresa, has become a figure of certain status here.

The previous arms dealer Lehman had also left, and it was said that his face was ashen when he left.

After the exchange, the "Old Tune Group" went to the Kasa Hotel and booked three rooms with canned food, energy bars, and compressed biscuits.

This is much more expensive than when they stayed last time. The hotel owner explained:

"You bring the robot this time, and you must often need to charge it. This is the electricity fee charged in advance."

This sentence hits the weakness of the "Old Tune Group".

They have tons of high-performance batteries waiting to be recharged!

——Gnawa only has one spare battery to use now, and the military exoskeleton device has never been worn since Long Yuehong took it off last time.

……

Hotel camp.

Jiang Baimian allocated electronic cards:

"I share a room with Shang Jianyao, Xiaobai and Xiaohong share a room, and Lao Ge shares a room with you."

Long Yuehong and the others had long been accustomed to this plan and did not express any objection. Only Gnava hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Are you two couples?"

"Cough..." Long Yuehong choked on the saliva and coughed.

Jiang Baimian looked at Gnawa and smiled:

"Why do you think so?"

"Why would the opposite sex live in the same room if it's not a couple?" Gnava raised his own doubts.

Shang Jian Yao smiled.

He patted Gnava on the shoulder:

"Old Ge, your views are too pedantic.

"There are many combinations among human groups. It is not only men and women who can be called lovers, but also women and women, men and men, neither male nor female, half male and half female..."

He pulled further and further away until Jiang Baimian glared at him.

"Also." Shang Jianyao changed the subject, "Who in our 'Old Tune Group' shares a room with whom only depends on actual needs. Think about it, which of them can restrain me? I sneaked out in the middle of the night and did it." Bad things, they may not even notice."

Oh, are you quite proud?Jiang Baimian was angry and funny.

Gnava thought for a moment:

"I see the truth."

He turned to ask:

"Why do you have to sneak out in the middle of the night to do bad things?"

Shang Jian Yao pondered for a few seconds, then solemnly replied:

"My brain twitched."

Before Gnawa asked what it meant, Jiang Baimian said with a smile:

"Old Ge, it was impolite for you to directly ask if you are a couple. Look, it made them both very uncomfortable."

Obviously, Long Yuehong was the only one who was uncomfortable, and Bai Chen looked calm, and didn't take it seriously at all.

There is a bit of sincerity in Gnavana's slightly synthetic voice:

"Actually, I know this is not very polite, but didn't you say that? Companions don't need to care so much. And I also want to improve the cognitive system of human society towards you carbon-based people as soon as possible, for the future personal survival Lay the groundwork for independent action.

"This is also what you taught, see more, ask more, listen more, and experience more."

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"It's true to say that, but you can change it to a more polite way, for example, ask me in private, not in front of them."

"That's it..." Gnava responded in a learned tone.

Next, they went back to their rooms, rested for a while, and then got together to prepare dinner.

Among them, Gnawa's "food" is a high-performance battery that is being charged.

At this moment, they felt that there seemed to be some commotion on the other side of the hotel camp.

"What happened?" Long Yuehong cast her gaze outside the door in doubt.

Shang Jian Yao even put down the things in his hands and walked out.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, they saw a crowd of people gathered in the distance, and they didn't know what they were doing.

"I'll go and have a look." Shang Jian Yao informed, and moved closer curiously.

Jiang Baimian, Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Gnawa looked at each other, closed the door, and walked over there.

After getting closer, they saw the situation on the other side clearly:

There were forty or fifty young men and women over there. Their faces were clean and their clothes were tattered.

With a glance, Long Yuehong even saw the old cotton shoes with the toes sticking out, and the down jacket with several big holes.

These men and women ranged in age from fifteen to twenty-three, and there were seven or eight people with guns standing around them, and they looked more glamorous.

The man who seems to be the leader among the gunmen is saying loudly:

"I know that you have suffered a lot in the past, otherwise you would not have been sold to me and become slaves.

"But now, your good days are coming soon!"

The forty or fifty young men and women listened with slightly numb expressions, but they seemed to be looking forward to it.

The slave trader continued:

"Think about it, if I hadn't found a good place for you, I would have let you stay in a hotel? There are abandoned houses everywhere in the Redstone Collection, where can I put you there?

"Hehe, in two or three days, you will be able to enter the 'Underground Ark', where even the lowest servants can have enough food, free clothes, and sleep for at least six hours a day. There are doctors to see.

"Although you will always live in the underground castle, you don't have to worry about the plague, the robbers, the army, and other wanderers, and you don't have to be afraid of being attacked by wild beasts. If you behave well enough, you might even become a steward and be sent to do things on the ground...

"In short, when the time comes, you must receive training and strive to become the servants of Master Dimarco..."

Listening to his narration, the faces of the forty or fifty men and women gradually brightened.

There seemed to be some kind of light shining in those black and white eyes.

Their toes that popped out of the cotton shoes and their fingers with red and swollen joints moved unconsciously.

And at this moment, there was only one sentence echoing in Long Yuehong's mind:

"DiMarco was a brutal man."

Chapter 1 The Honest Robot

After that group of people disbanded, the "Old Tune Group" and his party also returned to the room.

Gnava took off the sunglasses on his nose and glanced left and right:

"You don't seem to be in a good mood?

"Did the slave trader's lecture just now remind you of any bad memories?

"I remember that slaves and servants are very common on Ashland, so it shouldn't have any impact on you."

He asked very directly and did not use euphemistic methods. In other words, he didn't know what euphemism was at all.

And the last thing he looked at was Bai Chen.

He remembered the slave trader's lecture, and when the dozens of scheduled servants showed expressions of hope, the lady whose pseudonym Qian Bai quietly clasped her hands.

Before Bai Chen could speak, Long Yuehong answered on her behalf:

"Because the man they're going to serve isn't very nice."

He paused and explained in detail:

"DiMarco is a brutal man..."

Long Yuehong gave a rough description of the Dimarco-related information obtained in the Red Stone Collection before, and finally said:

"It makes me a little sad to see that they think their fortunes have changed for the better, but that's not the case."

"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded in agreement with Long Yuehong's statement.

Gnawa thought for two seconds, and asked:

"Then why don't you try to save them?"

He asked if he didn't understand.
