long night fire

Bai Chen looked ahead and said:

"A gray earthen whore."

"Ah?" Neither Long Yuehong nor Gnawa could understand how this had anything to do with howling wolves.

Bai Chen's eyes still fell on the end of the road, and he said in the same tone:

"They were captured as slaves and picked up by brothels, and no one taught them the Red River language, so they could only attract passing guests and sailors in the port by imitating the cry of a she-wolf.

"In the original city, they were called 'she-wolves'."

After Long Yuehong finished listening, she opened her mouth, but said nothing.

Chapter 30 The Value of Intelligence

The Hunter's Guild of the original city is located in the northwest of the Red Giant Wolf District, on a street full of people coming and going.

It has its own five-storey building, and the hall area is several times larger than that of its counterparts in Weed City, but it is not as electronic as it is. There are only [-] machines that can see and receive tasks by themselves, and the rest are all passed through blocks. Large screen and individual windows to complete.

This led to a large number of employees in the local hunter guild, and also allowed many people to make a living by explaining tasks to those relic hunters who did not know the words. The entire hall was crowded and noisy.

After Bai Chen told a receptionist that he had information to sell to the guild, he quickly walked through the hall and went up to the second floor under his guidance.

During this process, Gnawa received a lot of attention, but compared to other places, the frequency of robots appearing in the original city is much higher. Many relic hunter teams have such a member, so no one thinks strangeness.

On the second floor, in room 205.

Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Genawa saw an old man with a straight nose, slightly gray hair, and a black robe.

He was probably in his fifties, and his light blue eyes reflected the appearance of the two people opposite him:

"What information do you have to sell to the guild?"

Before Bai Chen could answer, Gnava, who managed to keep his chair from creaking, asked:

"I don't know what to call you?"

The old man laughed:

"It's rare to meet such a polite robot."

The priority of most robots is to obey their masters.

Long Yuehong heard this emotion, secretly said "bad thing", and hurriedly said to Gnava:

"Who taught you to ask someone's name without considering the context?"

Gnava's eyes flickered red:

"Hey, he said you have to be polite."

Sure enough... Long Yuehong was not surprised at all.

He asked that question just now, in order to guide the half-century old man on the opposite side to think in the direction of "this robot was taught to break by the master", not that the robot in front of him is likely to come from "mechanical heaven" and belong to intelligent people.

"You don't have to listen to him all the time, his brain is different from normal people." Long Yuehong had a rare opportunity to speak ill of Shang Jianyao behind his back, and of course he would not let it go.

The old man on the opposite side raised his hand and said:

"It's not a bad thing to be polite.

"My name is Friedrich."

Bai Chen immediately nodded slightly:

"Mr. Friedrich, we have an intel about the giant white wolf in the mountains on the north shore."

"Really?" Friedrich was a little surprised, "You just came back from the mountains on the north shore?"

"No." Bai Chen took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket, "We have encountered enemies similar to that giant white wolf before, and we think there should be some similarities between the two. , you can get some useful information from here to there.”

Friedrich tapped the surface of the table with his right index finger, pondered for a few seconds and said:

"In other words, you are not sure that this information will come in handy?"

"Yes." Bai Chen didn't deny it, "but in the same way, you can't be sure that it won't come in handy."

The conversation was like a tongue twister, Xiaobai's Honghe language is still much better than mine... Long Yuehong muttered silently.

He also dared to call Bai Chen's nickname in his heart.

The same goes for "Big White".

Only "Hello", he would yell a few times from time to time, anyway, he and Shang Jianyao are used to each other, the only thing that needs to be considered is whether they can withstand the counterattack of the other party's language in the future.

As for "Old Ge", there is no sense of ridicule, he thinks it has nothing to do with it.

Friedrich withdrew his right hand and said with a smile:

"It made me feel like I was gambling."

"But you are dealers." Bai Chen responded calmly.

Relic hunters need to consider the consequences of selling information directly to the guild.

This is not a one-shot deal. If the guild gets the information and reads it, it finds that you are suspected of fraud. If it is light, it will recover the reward, deduct a certain amount of credit points, and add the corresponding record. Capture your mission.

Compared with the guild, individuals are always small. As long as they want to earn a living as a relic hunter, few people play tricks in this regard.

Of course, there are also situations where you have to cheat the guild if you burn your butt, so you can only consider turning into a "dark hunter" and not accepting and handing in quests through the guild, just like the earliest relic hunters.

Friedrich laughed:

"You're calm.

"Tell me, how much do you want to pay?"

"400 Ore." Bai Chen offered the price.

This is enough for a family of three in the Green Olive District to live for one year, or even two years if they are more frugal.

But this is a drop in the bucket compared with the tens of thousands of military exoskeleton devices and robotic arms-such materials are often priceless.

As far as the "Old Tune Group" is concerned, this information is mainly to fill their shy wallets first. After all, they have not given all the information related to Qiao Chu, and they have a good understanding of the ability of the special commissioner of the Eighth Research Institute. Not so full.

Frederick thought for a while and said:

"Hopefully it's worth the price."

He immediately picked up the phone on the table, dialed a number, and asked the other party to go through the process now and approve 400 Ore.

After he hung up, Bai Chen pushed the folded paper over.

Friedrich picked up the reading glasses next to him, unfolded the paper in his hand, and read it carefully:

"... We once met a man named Qiao Chu. The reward for his information in the guild was a ton of flour... He can make people like him, be infatuated with him, and obey his orders... This is suspicious. The price, not the ability of the Awakened...His abilities are currently known to be 'forcibly changing the target', 'making people depressed', and the rest are unknown... If the giant wolf in the mountains on the north bank hadn't obtained the ability to charm others through distortion ability, then we need to consider that it has other abilities..."

Friedrich raised his head and looked at Bai Chen and Long Yuehong:

"Have you met Qiao Chu?

"You can get rid of him and live until now?"

He was surprised by the latter.

Bai Chen pointed to Gnawa next to him, and said without changing his expression:

"He's here."

"Him?" asked Friedrich.

In Honghe language, "he" and "she" are different words, which can be heard immediately.

Bai Chen casually explained:

"I am a wanderer in the wilderness. My parents died early, and I only survived to adulthood thanks to the care of intelligent robots."

"Is that so..." Friedrich expressed his understanding.

Long Yuehong was stunned as she listened, she didn't expect Xiaobai to be as deceitful as the team leader.

Obviously there were no robots back then!

Moreover, it was not Gnava who took care of her growing up!

I don't know if Xiaobai was like this in the first place, or was influenced by the team leader... Long Yuehong fell into deep thought.

At this time, Friedrich sighed:

"It seems that the charm does not work on robots, which is also very important information.

"Okay, your information does have a price of 400 Ore."

Jiang Baimian's decision of 400 Ores is mainly based on the previous reward: the price of a kilogram of ordinary-grade flour in the initial city is about 4 to 6 de Lace, which is about 0.5 Ores.

Of course, that is in a disaster-free year, in places like First City and Wild Grass City, where there are many dusty settlements, one kilogram of flour can be worth a human life under certain circumstances.

In general, 400 Orejos are equivalent to 800 kilograms of common-grade flour, which is about the same as the previous reward price.

Soon, Bai Chen received a full 400 Ore notes.

She counted fifty ores out of them, pushed them to Friedrich, and said:

"I want to entrust a task."

Friedrich pointed to the floor:

"The entrusted task is below."

Bai Chen didn't stop, and continued:

"The content is to help us find a friend. He is very sensitive, and he is also a relic hunter. If someone posts a mission to find him, he will definitely hide. We can only ask the guild for help, and privately entrust it to some relic hunters who have enough connections in the local area. .

"You don't need to get detailed information, just tell us where he lives, or which area he frequents."

——The Hunter Guild always has a vice-chairman who is in charge of such tasks that require confidentiality without public release.

Friedrich took the stack of banknotes, turned upside down and said:

"If there is only this kind of reward, the time will be hard to tell. No one will mobilize all the people they know to help find it for 50 Ore."

"No problem." Bai Chen took out another piece of paper.

The above is the appearance of Han Wanghuo depicted by Jiang Baimian, which can be called lifelike.

At the same time, she also marked the color of the eyes, the name of the character and so on.

After entrusting this matter, Bai Chen led Long Yuehong and Genawa back to the lobby on the first floor.

They casually browsed through the recent tasks and did not consider taking them, mainly to understand the current situation in the original city.

Out of the lobby and back to the street, they were about to turn to another place when they suddenly saw a convoy passing by on the road ahead.

These were sedans, deep black, with glass that seemed to have been treated so that the inside could not be seen from the outside.

With such a large convoy, Long Yuehong felt a rush of momentum, and subconsciously held her breath.

He glanced sideways at Bai Chen, and found that she was staring blankly ahead.

"What's wrong?" Long Yuehong asked when the convoy disappeared at the end of the road.

"Nothing." Bai Chen shook her head.

……

Harvest bathroom, in a room.

"Do you think this has something to do with the 'anti-intellectual religion'?" After listening to Shang Jianyao's description, Jiang Baimian asked in thought, "The assassination of Xu Liyan was the work of the Zhao family? No, Zhao Zhengqi and Zhao Yide were also there. The aristocratic meeting hall will be bombed to death together! There are also conflicts within the Zhao family?"

Shang Jianyao did not respond to Jiang Baimian's question, and said to himself:

"There are still a few people who exist in Zhao Shouren's memory. They were born in the manor and grew up in the manor, but they look like they were carried from another family. Many details don't match. They often come in and out."

Chapter 31 Strange Voices

"Is this directly modifying the memory?" Jiang Baimian supported his right elbow with his left hand, and put the five fingers of his right hand between his mouth and nose.

Shang Jianyao replied seriously:

"I haven't compared the difference between people who have been hypnotized and those whose memories have been tampered with. I can't be sure."

Hey, now is the serious Shang Jianyao... Jiang Baimian sat there, thinking and said:

"If some people in the Zhao family are indeed related to the assassination of Xu Liyan by the 'Anti-Intellectual Sect', then the real 'priest' did it himself. However, based on his prudence, he should not be in the manor, but Hiding somewhere nearby and quietly watching everything."
