long night fire

The four of them hesitated for a moment, but found a table to sit down, and waited for another waiter to arrive.

——There are quite a few people from other places in the "White Knights", and the restaurant business is pretty good, and they can afford to hire three or four people.

Jiang Baimian suppressed Shang Jianyao's idea of ​​trying the mutant species, and ordered a bunch of food with normal meat quality, and the price was not low.

After she finished, Shang Jianyao, who finally found a chance, looked at the waiter, lowered his voice, and asked mysteriously:

"You guys, do you have that?"

The waiter's expression changed, he glanced left and right, bent his back, and asked in a low voice:

"That's what you said?"

Chapter 59 Lack of Money

that?Jiang Baimian suddenly had a terrible feeling.

Wouldn't this be an unexpected start?

Do you encounter secret things every time you eat?

From the fact that the hotel does not provide food to the fact that there is no telephone installed in the restaurant in Gerstburg, and that the food reserves are insufficient, she has to go out to look for food. She seems to see her group walking towards the deepest part of the river step by step under the arrangement of fate. Nothing to do, no way to escape.

Bai Chen resisted the urge to glance at Long Yuehong, but Long Yuehong raised her heart, thinking "is it such a coincidence".

Seeing that Yao was not surprised but happy, Shang looked around and asked furtively:

"How much is the one you said, and how to sell it?"

The male waiter took a slow breath and said:

"It depends on which one you want, two knight silver coins for the cheap ones, ten for the good ones."

"So expensive?" Although Shang Jianyao suppressed his voice professionally, he did not hide his surprise at all.

When they entered the city, they paid a tax of two knight silver coins, and the suite they lived in was only one knight silver coin a night.

Just now they ordered so many natural and non-distorted meats, and they only needed three knight silver coins in total.

"It's not expensive. You can't buy it without spending so much money." The waiter seemed to want to facilitate the deal.

Shang Jian Yao no longer plays charades:

"Which one are you talking about?"

The waiter blurted out in astonishment:

"Wine!

"Or what do you think it is?"

Liquor... How can selling a liquor make it feel like selling arms and the latest products of Bliss Island... Long Yuehong was a little stunned when he heard that.

He didn't expect that he was worried for a while, but it turned out that the other party was just selling wine!

Shang Jian Yao was disappointed for a while:

"What I want to ask is if you have any Coke, the kind with ice."

The brown-haired waiter who was about the same age as Shang Jianyao and who had obviously undergone some genetic modification fell silent.

Jiang Baimian could tell that he wanted to curse but held back.

In order to ease the atmosphere and pave the way for the follow-up investigation, she took the initiative to ask:

"We came from the south and wanted to know who else to ask for news in Fort Gerst, other than the Hunter's Guild?"

The waiter exhaled and asked questions without answering:

"Are you relic hunters?"

"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded slightly.

The brown-haired waiter showed a knowing expression.

He first said to Shang Jianyao:

"There is no Coke. If you really want to drink, you can find it in the ruins of the surrounding cities, but I don't know how the taste of Coke has been for decades. I can only tell you that I will recycle Coke cans and Coke Guy, the metal one, the price is determined according to the quantity, don’t worry, it’s absolutely fair, my dead grandfather was a knight.”

When Shang Jianyao nodded "Oh oh", the waiter turned to Jiang Baimian and said:

"You guys are here early, wait a month or two, the ice field will be in summer, and you can go there to explore various urban ruins.

"Because of the weather, few people dare to go there in other seasons. Those city ruins have been excavated very little, and there are still a lot of materials left, and they can also hunt ice creatures. Their fur is very valuable.

"For us locals, whether we live well or not every year depends on how much we can harvest in summer. It is almost impossible to make money from work."

He is quite tolerant and warm to beautiful ladies.

"Why?" Seeing that Yao didn't look at the other person's face at all, Shang asked, "Why can't you make a fortune by working hard and working hard?"

The brown-haired waiter showed a mocking smile:

"Simple, my dead grandfather was a knight, but my father was just a squire.

"If I go to the factory, I can at most be promoted to the workshop manager. If I go to the Assize Court, I can only serve as a trial assistant. I can't go any higher. It's better to be a waiter. I can resign at any time. When I come back from the adventure, I can find similar work."

"Why can't you be the top manager of the entire factory, or a judge in the circuit court?" Shang Jianyao asked.

The brown-haired waiter said with a slight expression:

"Because knights have sons too."

"..." Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and others deeply realized what the "White Knights" emphasized.

Under the head of the "White Knights", there are more than 20 great knights. Some of them hold different positions in the headquarters, or contribute force, wisdom, or experience. The highest civil affairs officer in the resident, for example, Gerstburg, as an important border stronghold, industrial base, and mining city, has always had a branch of knights stationed there. He also serves as the consul of Gerstburg.

The Great Knights formed the "Grand Knights Council" and decided the most important affairs of the "White Knights". Under them were the consuls or lords of various settlements (those whose strategic positions were not important enough) and the senior officers of the Great Knights' assistants. Knights, under the senior knights are knights, divided into three classes, the highest is the white knight, the middle is the purple knight, and the lowest is the red knight.

Below the knights are retinues, also known as quasi-knights.

Then there are ordinary people.

The brown-haired waiter obviously didn't want to meet Yao with the manager, looked at the recorded menu, and reminded Jiang Baimian:

"But there is a ruined city in the northeast. Don't go there. It's very dangerous. Well, it's called Conimis."

Jiang Baimian's eyes moved slightly:

"How dangerous is it?"

"No one who has been there can come back." The brown-haired waiter talked eloquently, "If I didn't know a lot of people and often went to the ice field for adventures, I might even say the name wrong. I remember when I was young, Coning Mi There are often businessmen coming here, who knows..."

"It became ruins a few years ago?" Shang Jianyao blurted out in surprise, acting very professionally.

The brown-haired waiter nodded:

"They were destroyed for following the devil."

"Devil?" Long Yuehong didn't hide her doubts.

"I've heard people say it." The brown-haired waiter shrugged. "When I was a teenager, my elders liked to scare me by sending me to Conimis to feed the devil."

"Is that before or after Conimis was destroyed?" Jiang Baimian tried to confirm this.

"After that." The brown-haired waiter was sure.

Long Yuehong and the others were a little disappointed. They thought that there were rumors of Conimis following the devil before his accident.

At this time, the brown-haired waiter added:

"When my grandfather was still alive, he told me to try not to get close to people in Conimis. Hehe, he might be afraid that I would be abducted."

In the minds of the older generation of knights, is there something wrong with Conimis?Jiang Baimian did not continue this topic.

She could tell that the other party was obviously not sure of the real reason for his grandfather's exhortation.

After a few more casual chats, the brown-haired waiter finally remembered what the "Old Tune Group" had just asked.

He bent his back, suppressed his voice and said:

"What do you want to know?"

"In all aspects." Jiang Baimian answered very vaguely.

The brown-haired waiter pointed to the knight silver coin on the order list:

"I do know a well-informed person, but the price is expensive. I need to contact him later to see if I can meet with you tonight?"

"For the time being, no need." Jiang Baimian forced a smile, "Let's go to the Hunter's Guild tomorrow to see, and then decide whether to look for him."

After finally proving that it was just a false alarm, she didn't want to take the initiative to cause "accidents".

She just wanted to recharge all the high-performance batteries and supplement the food with peace of mind, and then started the investigation.

The brown-haired waiter is very understanding:

"I see."

When he went to place the order, Shang Jianyao looked at the table of guests who were eating the distorted beef in fear, and whispered curiously:

"Why don't people here suspect that they are spies, and simply believe that they come from a newly attached ranch in the south?"

Bai Chen said:

"How can a real spy sneak into the sphere of influence of the 'White Knights' without even knowing the common sense of deformed beef?"

"Yes, this is the basic homework." Jiang Baimian nodded slightly.

Bai Chen went on to say:

"However, they should also be outsiders. Like us, they came to Gerstburg for other reasons."

"Why do you say that?" Long Yuehong was very supportive.

Bai Chen calmly replied:

"I just remembered something I've heard before:

"The area ruled by the 'White Knights' was severely polluted when the old world was destroyed, and all creatures were badly deformed. Only a few places and some rivers are still relatively normal, and they have become the current settlements. There is clean flour and meat.

"Old Ge also said before that this area was not suitable for planting and grazing in the old world. In the early years, the people of the 'White Knights' used the material trade to exchange for food and meat. On the other hand, they had to Keep so many alive by hunting the aberrant creatures.

"If it weren't for the fight against pollution and distortion, humans here wouldn't be so easy to accept genetic improvement medicine."

On the gray soil, in the eyes of many people, genetic improvement is something that goes against nature and will bring serious consequences.

"There is insufficient food production here, and we rely on imports, so there is a 'prohibition on alcohol'?" Jiang Baimian immediately understood why the waiter wanted to sell alcoholic beverages in the same tone as selling arms and the latest products of Bliss Island.

Bai Chen pursed her lips and said:

"This should also have something to do with the 'White Knights' advocating simplicity."

During their exchange, the dishes were brought up one by one.

Gerstburg is close to the ice sheet, and the climate is cold, but there is no shortage of fuel. The food is mainly roasted and cooked, and beetroot is widely used, which is unique.

Considering the possibility of "accidentally" bumping into them, and the canned food, energy bars and compressed biscuits that have been eaten for too long, the "Old Tune Group" ate quickly, just wanting to fill their stomachs quickly and return to the hotel.

Soon, they ate and drank enough, left the table, and walked towards the entrance of the restaurant.

"We don't seem to have any money on us..." Jiang Baimian touched his pocket and said with a frown.

Their supplies were limited, and the currency exchanged from Smith's "rootless" team was not much, and the remaining items on the jeep were not suitable for trading.

Shang Jian Yao excitedly said:

"Go to the Hunter's Guild tomorrow to pick up the mission?"

While talking, they passed the previous table of guests.

The sharp Bai Chen suddenly caught a word:

"Bodhi".

Chapter 60 Different Directions

Bodhi?Bai Chen resisted the urge to listen carefully.

On the one hand, the team leader's exhortations were still in her ears, and the shadow of the "accident" made her dare not delve into it. On the other hand, the people at the table saw them passing by, and temporarily closed their mouths and did not communicate any more.

After leaving the restaurant, Bai Chen deliberately didn't look at Long Yuehong beside her, and said to Jiang Baimian in a low voice:

"Group leader, the people at that table just now seem to be talking about things related to Bodhi."
