That? Jiang Baimian suddenly had a bad feeling.
This is not an unexpected start, right?
Will you encounter something secret when you eat?
From the hotel not providing food to the restaurant in Gerstburg without a telephone, to the lack of food reserves and having to go out to find food, she seemed to see her group walking step by step to the deepest part of the river under the arrangement of fate, but there was no way to escape.
Bai Chen resisted the urge to look at Long Yuehong, and Long Yuehong raised his heart, his mind full of "Is it such a coincidence?"
Shang saw that Yao was not surprised but happy, looked around, and asked sneakily:
"How much of the one you mentioned, how to sell it?"
The male waiter took a slow breath and said:
"It depends on which one you want, the two cheap knight silver coins, the good ones are ten."
"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 only paid one knight silver coin a night.
Just now, they ordered so much natural and not distorted meat, and 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 broker the deal.
Shang Jianyao no longer plays dumb riddles:
"Which one are you talking about?"
The waiter blurted out in astonishment:
"Wine!
"Otherwise, what do you think it is?"
Wine...... How to sell wine to make it feel like selling arms and the latest products of Bliss Island...... Long Yuehong was a little stunned when she heard this.
He didn't expect that he was worried for a while, but the other party was just selling wine!
Shang Jianyao was disappointed:
"I want to ask if you have Coke, the kind with ice."
The brown-haired waiter, who was about the same age as Shang Jianyao and had obviously undergone certain genetic improvement, was silent.
Jiang Baimian could see that he wanted to curse a little 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 we could find besides the Hunter's Guild to inquire about news in Gesterburg?"
The waiter exhaled and did not answer:
"Are you relic hunters?"
"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded slightly.
The brown-haired waiter showed an understanding expression.
He first said to Shang Jianyao:
"No Coke, if you really want to drink it, you can look for it in the ruins of the surrounding cities, but I don't know what the taste of Coke that has been in the market for decades is not clear, I can only tell you that I will recycle Coke cans and Coke lids, metal ones, the price is determined according to the quantity, don't worry, absolutely fair, my dead grandfather was a knight."
When Shang Jianyao nodded "oh, oh", the waiter turned to Jiang Baimian and said:
"You came early, wait another month or two, the ice field will be in the summer, and you can go there to explore various city ruins.
"Because of the weather, almost no one dares to go in other seasons, the ruins of those cities have been excavated very little, there are still a lot of materials left, and they can also hunt ice creatures, and their fur is very valuable.
"We locals, whether we live well or not every year, depends on how much we can harvest in the summer, and it is almost impossible to make a fortune through work."
He is quite tolerant and enthusiastic towards beautiful ladies.
"Why?" Shang Jianyao didn't look at the other party's face at all, and asked if he asked, "Why can't you get rich by working hard at work?"
The brown-haired waiter showed a mocking smile:
"It's very simple, my dead grandfather was a knight, but my father was just a servant.
"If I go to the factory, at most I can be promoted to workshop manager, if I go to the circuit court, I can only serve as a trial assistant, and I can't go any further.
"Why can't you be the top manager of the entire factory and the judge of the circuit court?" Shang Jianyao asked.
The brown-haired waiter said with a slightly depressed expression:
"Because the knights also have sons."
"......" Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and others deeply realized what the "White Knights" are, emphasizing respect and inferiority.
There are more than 20 great knights under the commander of the "White Knights", some of whom hold different positions at the headquarters, or contribute force, or contribute wisdom, or contribute experience, and some are the leaders of a certain branch of the knights and the highest civil affairs officer of the station.
The Grand Knights form the "Grand Knights Council", which determines the most important affairs of the "White Knights", and below them are the senior knights who serve as archons or lords of various settlements (the kind whose strategic position is not important enough) and the assistants of the great knights.
Under the knight is the attendant, also known as the quasi-knight.
Further down are ordinary people.
The brown-haired waiter obviously didn't want to talk to the manager, so he glanced at the recorded menu and reminded Jiang Baimian:
"But don't go to the ruins of a city in the northeast, it's very dangerous, well, it's called Konymis."
Jiang Baimian's eyes moved slightly:
"How dangerous is it?"
"None of the people who have been there can come back." The brown-haired waiter said eloquently, "If it weren't for the fact that I knew a lot of people and often went to the ice fields to adventure, even this name might be wrong, I remember when I was a child, merchants often came to Konymes, who knows......"
"It was only in ruins a few years ago?" Shang Jianyao blurted out in surprise, and his performance was very professional.
The brown-haired waiter nodded:
"They were destroyed because they followed the devil."
"Devil?" Long Yuehong did not hide her doubts.
"I heard what people said." The brown-haired waiter shrugged his shoulders, "When I was not an adult, my elders liked to scare me by sending me to Konymes to feed the devil."
"Was that before or after the destruction of Konimis?" Jiang Baimian tried to confirm this.
"After that." The brown-haired waiter was very sure.
Long Yuehong and the others were a little disappointed, they thought that there were rumors of following the devil before the accident with Konymis.
At this time, the brown-haired waiter added:
"When my grandfather was still alive, he told me not to get close to the people of Konymis, hehe, he might be afraid that I would be abducted."
In the minds of the older generation of knights, is there a problem with Konymis? Jiang Baimian did not continue this topic.
She could see that the other party was obviously unsure of the real reason why her grandfather told her so much.
After chatting casually for a few more words, the brown-haired waiter finally remembered what the "old tune team" had just asked.
He bent down and suppressed his voice and said:
"What do you want to inquire about?"
"All aspects." Jiang Baimian replied very vaguely.
The brown-haired waiter pointed to the silver knight coin placed on the order list:
"I do know a well-informed person, but it's expensive, and I need to contact him later to see if I can meet you tonight."
"For the time being, no." Jiang Baimian forced a smile, "We will go to the Hunter Guild tomorrow to take a look, and then decide whether to look for him or not."
It was finally proven that it was just a false alarm, and she didn't want to take the initiative to cause an "accident".
She just wanted to reassure herself that she would charge all the high-performance batteries and replenish her food before launching an investigation.
The brown-haired waiter understands very well:
"I understand."
When he went to place an order, Shang Jianyao glanced at the table of guests who were eating the aberrant beef in fear, and whispered curiously:
"Why don't the people here suspect that they are spies, but simply believe that they are from a newly affiliated ranch in the south?"
Bai Chen said:
"How could a real spy sneak into the sphere of influence of the 'White Knights' without even knowing the common sense of aberration beef?"
"Yes, this is basic homework." Jiang Baimian nodded slightly.
Bai Chen then said:
"However, they should also be outsiders, like us, who came to Gersterburg for other reasons."
"Why do you say that?" Long Yuehong was very supportive.
Bai Chen replied calmly:
"I just remembered something I had heard before:
"The area ruled by the 'White Knights' was severely polluted during the destruction of the Old World, and the creatures had undergone bad aberrations, and only a few places and some rivers were still relatively normal, becoming the current settlements with clean flour and meat.
In the early years, the people of the 'White Knights' used material trade in exchange for food and meat, and on the other hand, they had to hunt aberrant creatures to maintain the survival of so many people.
"If it weren't for the fight against pollution and aberration, humans here wouldn't have accepted genetically modified agents so easily."
In the eyes of many people, genetic modification is something that goes against nature and will have serious consequences.
"The grain production here is insufficient and depends on imports, so there is a 'prohibition order'?" Jiang Baimian immediately understood why the waiter sold alcoholic beverages in the tone of selling arms and selling the latest products of Bliss Island.
Bai Chen pursed his mouth and said:
"This should also be related to the 'White Knights' advocating simplicity."
While they were communicating, the dishes were served one by one.
Gerstburg is close to the ice field, 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 "accident" hitting themselves, coupled with the canned food, energy bars and compressed cookies that they had eaten for too long, the "old tune group" ate quickly, just wanted to fill their stomachs quickly and return to the hotel.
Soon, they were full and drunk, left their tables, and walked to the restaurant.
"It seems that we don't have much money left......" Jiang Baimian touched his lower pocket and frowned and said.
They had limited supplies, and they didn't have much currency to exchange for Smith's "rootless" team, and the items left in the jeep were not suitable for trading.
Shang Jianyao said excitedly:
"Go to the Hunter Guild tomorrow to pick up some missions?"
As they spoke, they passed by the previous table.
Bai Chen, who had a keen ear and eye, suddenly caught a word:
"Bodhi".
