Hearing Spant ask if he and others had official hunter badges, Shang Jianyao, who also came to the door, showed a puzzled expression:
"Yes, there is ......"
Spante didn't notice his implication, and immediately interrupted:
"That's fine."
Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and motioned for Gnawa to step aside.
She said to Spant:
"Let's talk about it when we come in."
Spant glanced left and right, and saw that the residents on the same floor were not moving, and they dodged and entered the suite of the "Old Tune Group".
He smiled and praised:
"You are indeed experienced and cautious enough."
"Those who have been relic hunters for several years and have not died have such vigilance." Jiang Baimian casually said, "What kind of task is it, and how much is the reward? Needless to say, it's just a matter of talking, we can't promise you without knowing anything, right? We really want to agree to you casually, can you rest assured?"
People who choose to participate without a certain understanding of the mission are either already burned and can't care so much, or they don't care about the mission, but the ideas of hires and other relic hunters.
Span nodded:
"I understand.
"This task is actually relatively simple, but there are certain risks.
"We need to go somewhere in the nearby mountains to cooperate with our employer's men to escort a batch of supplies back.
"The reward, a total of three great knight gold coins, although I only have one person and you have four, but this is my next task, I will also be responsible for contacting the employer and dealing with his subordinates, so I will take one, you take two, no problem?"
Five people give three great knight gold coins? Do you still have subordinates? The value of this batch of materials that need to be escorted is not low...... Well, worried that competitors are looking for people to go to the wild fire and don't go through the official channels of the "White Knights", the possibility of prohibited items is not small...... Jiang Baimian's thoughts turned around, and he said with a smile:
"Very reasonable plan.
"Hehe, the reward is indeed quite generous, but if this task takes several days, it is not so attractive."
The "Old Tune Team" initially planned to stay in Gerstburg for two weeks to investigate the affairs of the Eighth Research Institute and Shang Jianyao's father's team, but once it exceeded two weeks, there was nothing to gain, and they could not continue forever, so they would choose to leave and go to Konymes again for a new round of exploration.
At that time, they might be able to find some clues in Konimis that would reverse the investigation in Gerstburg.
At present, the "Old Tune Team" eats, drinks, lodges and electricity bills every day, and it takes ten knight silver coins to save a little.
When the Bodhi statue mission finds some clues and gets a certain bounty, Jiang Baimian and the others don't need to worry about running out of money to store supplies.
The only problem is that if this mission requires a few days away from Gersterburg, it will disrupt their arrangements and make it less cost-effective.
"It's only four or five hours back and forth." Spant did not mention that this was in the case of a car.
As the front desk of the hotel, he knew that the four guests came by jeep to Gerstburg, not by train.
Besides, I really don't have a car to rent.
"Hurry up and even have time to come back for lunch." Shang Jianyao expressed his gratification.
Then, he criticized himself:
"No, doesn't that mean saving money on meals for employers?
"Do you have a packed lunch?"
"Yes." Spant had seen many scrupulous relic hunters, and he was not surprised by this.
He added with a slight smugness:
"I won it for everyone!
"Only by eating and drinking enough can you fight and deal with accidents."
Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:
"This mission sounds really good."
"There are robots in your team, and this task is not difficult at all." Spant interjected, trying to strengthen the belief that the group of relic hunters was involved.
Jiang Baimian looked at him with a smile, and changed his mind:
"But we have other things that we may have to be free the day after tomorrow, is it too late?"
When Spant heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief obviously:
"No problem, the employer's requirement is to recruit enough people within three days.
"Let's register with the guild now?"
"You are still at work." Shang Jianyao reminded sincerely.
Spant blinked:
"Then wait for the evening."
Jiang Baimian agreed and sent away the relic hunter at the front desk of the part-time hotel.
"Our hunter badges are recorded, wouldn't it be bad to register them?" Long Yuehong glanced at the closed door and spoke.
A record of being rewarded with a huge bounty.
At that time, the staff of the Hunter Guild and Spant might be frightened.
Even if the team carrying tens of thousands of Ole bounties says nothing or does nothing, it is easy to make others' livers tremble, and it is easy for them to automatically appear in their minds words such as "extremely vicious, murderous, and moody".
Shang Jianyao replied solemnly:
"What's the matter? This is the 'White Knights', not the 'First City'."
"What I am worried about is that my identity will be exposed, which will attract the attention of the 'White Knights' on the surface and the Eighth Research Institute on the surface." Long Yuehong didn't say that maybe there were still many relic hunters who would be driven by greed and want to deal with themselves and others.
Because for the "old tune team", this is likely to be equivalent to a windfall.
Slapping, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.
He praised Long Yuehong:
"This time it was considered very comprehensively."
He said he was the team leader.
Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:
"Use the current image to register a new hunter identity, and then let Lao Ge invade the local guild's system, modify our permissions, and help us upgrade to 'official hunter' for subsequent missions."
"No problem." Gnava learned from Shang Jianyao and patted his chest.
After finalizing this matter, several members of the "Old Tune Team" sat down again and looked at the information on the mission of the Bodhi statue.
After exchanging and reading, Bai Chen pursed his lips and said:
"There are no valuable clues."
"There is still a little." Jiang Baimian smiled and said, "For example, people who have come into contact with the ascetic monk say that he has a bad face and is in poor physical condition, which is in line with the result of his final death from illness."
"Well......" Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment and then said, "Let's discuss it casually and see if we can inspire some inspiration."
Shang Jianyao was the first to speak, and he said with a serious face:
"Death from illness may be a real death, or it may be a disguised death."
"The body has been cremated, and the assistant to the Gerstburg sheriff who was in charge of handling the matter and the forensic doctor who inspected the scene have been found by many relic hunters, and they have always said that the deceased had no trauma, no poisoning, and no traces of homicide." Long Yuehong quoted the content of the information.
Bai Chen said "Hmm":
"Although there are likely to be one or two awakened people among so many relic hunters, the corresponding words should be true, but we still need to confirm it ourselves."
"I mean." Shang Jianyao quickly changed his words, "The ascetic did die of illness, but this disease was caused by the ability of the awakened person, and there is no external trace."
At this moment, a word suddenly appeared in Long Yuehong's mind:
"Cardiac arrest".
Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:
"No matter what the situation is, judging from the data, the ascetic has been ill for a while, will he feel that he is not far from death?"
"It's hard to say." Shang Jianyao retorted, "Why would a person who is not far from death go to the factory area in the middle of the night?"
According to the data, the results of the investigation at that time showed that there were no traces of dragging at the scene, and there were no footprints of other people.
"Maybe you made an appointment with someone there, and that person 'broke the appointment'?" Long Yuehong tried to guess.
"This is a possibility, but no one knows who the deceased went there to see and why. Three years have passed, and there is no clue in the data." Shang Jianyao said and whispered the Buddha's name, "Namo Arudora Samsu Bodhi, there is another possibility that the monk who knew he was going to die took the initiative to pay homage to the steelmaking furnace in the factory area and sat in front of the symbol of the Tathagata in the world."
"Very reasonable." Gnava felt that this convinced him.
Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said:
"Assuming that this possibility is true, how will the monk who is about to die of illness arrange the Buddha treasure beside him?"
As a folklore scholar, she called the Bodhi statue a Buddha treasure to show its importance.
"If it were me." Long Yuehong spoke enthusiastically, "In the absence of companions, the Bodhi statue will be hidden somewhere in advance, and then a telegram will be sent to the headquarters to inform them of this matter and let them pick it up in time.
Gnava moved his neck made of metal from side to side:
"If so, the information provided by the employer must include the hidden location. This is a very important clue that can be used to launch more efficient and targeted investigations."
The reality is that it is not in the data.
"Then I don't understand......" Long Yuehong whispered.
At this time, Shang Jianyao smiled fiercely:
"Maybe the employer is not the same as the ascetic's fellow disciples."
Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:
"Also, why did that ascetic come to Gerstburg, which is close to the ice field and has a harsh climate, when he is not in good health and carries Buddha's treasures, thinking that he is not dying quickly enough, and that the Bodhi statue is not easy to lose?"
