Bai Chen glanced at Gnawa, didn't give him a chance to do poorly, and tried to speculate by himself:
"Maybe the headquarters of the ascetic force is somewhere in the ice field, and it is safest to go back from Gusterburg recently, who knows, after he arrived here, his condition suddenly became serious and he could only stay."
Jiang Baimian's eyes moved slightly and said:
"Two questions, one is that the ascetic arrived in Gesterburg in March, and died in April. If their headquarters is really in the ice field, I think after he arrives in Gesterburg, in order to protect the Bodhi statue in his hand, he will not hesitate to send a telegram to the headquarters and ask the higher-level to send a convoy to pick it up.
"Maybe the person he saw at the steelmaking furnace in the factory area was sent by their headquarters, and it turned out ......," Shang Jianyao muttered in a low voice.
It turned out to be a deadly evil spirit that detonated his condition from a long distance.
Honest Gnawa did not agree with Shang Jianyao's statement this time:
"Seeing that my companions shouldn't need to go to the factory area in the middle of the night, that ascetic usually doesn't hide his alms in Gerstburg."
"Yes, yes." Long Yuehong echoed.
Jiang Baimian didn't dwell on this and continued:
"The second question, from the data, can be inferred that when the ascetic first arrived at Gersterburg, although his health did not seem to be very good, it was not reminiscent of death, that is, during the initial period, his condition had not deteriorated, and he still had the ability to travel far.
"So, what is he waiting for in Gerstburg?"
"Waiting for someone from the headquarters to pick him up!" Shang Jianyao replied very simply.
"It may also be waiting for summer." Bai Chen said thoughtfully.
"Yes!" Long Yuehong suddenly realized, "He is waiting for summer to come, the climate of the ice field becomes milder, and then go somewhere in the ice field."
Why not borrow Fort Dougstedt to go to other settlements of other forces, because it has a better route without having to be tested by bad weather, and there is more than one.
There is a high probability that it was the cold of the spring in Gerstburg and the bad air that caused the ascetic's condition to deteriorate.
Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:
"And the closest thing to Gerstburg is the most worthy of attention, Konymis."
Although this was just a bold speculation, it still made Long Yuehong and the others palpitate.
In this case, Konymis may be the source of many problems and many things.
"Also, there are people from the Eighth Research Institute lurking in Gersterburg, with the main purpose of collecting materials, and the headquarters of the Eighth Research Institute is determined to be somewhere on the ice field." Jiang Baimian proposed another possibility in a supplementary way.
The red light in Gnava's eye socket flashed for a moment:
"There is another possibility that the ascetic originally made an appointment with someone to meet in Gerstburg, so he came here in the harsh climate and stayed for a while until his condition worsened."
Shang Jianyao suddenly smiled:
"So, why did that person or force make an appointment in Gersterburg?"
No one answered him, but in everyone's minds, as well as in the main module, a term flashed at the same time:
"Eighth Research Institute".
Shang Jianyao didn't care about the short silence, and made up the story with great interest:
"Perhaps, the force to which the ascetic belonged was destroyed by a certain party because of the Bodhi statue, and he took the Buddha's treasure and dragged his sick body all the way to Gerstburg to seek the protection of some people or a certain force, but he couldn't wait.
"It is also possible that he betrayed the forces he belonged to, stole the Bodhi statue, and tried to go somewhere and accomplish something, but was blocked by the weather in Gesterburg, and his condition deteriorated day by day, and he was finally unable to support it......
"This explains why three years later, the person who issued the mission knew that he died in Gesterburg, and the Bodhi statue was lost."
Papapa, without waiting for others to respond, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands and cheered for himself.
Dangdang, Gnava is very polite.
Jiang Baimian exhaled slowly:
"Have you read too much old world entertainment material......
"What you said, if you change to the martial arts world and the fairy world, it will be more reasonable and less abrupt."
But I think what you said is decent, there is a certain possibility...... Long Yuehong just muttered and didn't say anything.
Jiang Baimian changed his mind:
"However, both of these situations are hypotheses, and there may be some traces of them to verify."
"How to verify?" Bai Chen asked with a slight surprise.
Jiang Baimian smiled:
"Since the employer knows how to issue a mission in the Hunters' Guild to drive the relic hunters to Gesterburg to find the Bodhi statue, before that, will he or they also issue a mission to find the ascetic through the Hunters' Guild?
"Two to three years later, they finally decided that they were going to die in Gerstburg."
Bai Chen nodded slightly:
"Go to the Hunter Guild to look through the mission records of the previous three years?
"This is all confidential information......"
She didn't say anything because she remembered that her group had already planned to send Gnava to invade the local guild's system and modify the hunter level of her four new identities.
In that case, checking past mission records by the way is just a matter of consuming a little more power.
Moreover, with Gnava's retrieval level, the four carbon-based people of the "old tune team" will be beaten by him together, and he can complete the screening or traversal in just a few seconds, or even a few seconds.
After some discussion, the "Old Tune Team" had a preliminary plan for investigating the Bodhi statue:
First, visit key witnesses, check the corresponding evidence, and use the ability of the awakened person to determine whether the ascetic really died of illness;
The second is to go to the Hunter's Guild to "check" past mission records - since it can be confirmed that the dervishes died in Gersterburg, the corresponding tracing commission should have been hung in the local guild, and it was hung not long ago, or even more than half a year, otherwise, the publisher of the Bodhi statue mission would have locked the whereabouts of the ascetic long ago.
The third is to understand what is different from the past three years through intelligence dealers and randomly selected residents of Gerstburg - the "Old Tune Group" believes that the Bodhi statue is so valued that it should be somewhat miraculous in itself, and if it falls into the hands of people who don't know much about it, it may bring disaster or strange phenomena.
The fourth is to visit all the people who have been in contact with the ascetic according to the information, and the key is to find out whether the monk has asked about Konymis or somewhere in the ice field, which will take a lot of time, and Jiang Baimian plans to do it last.
By the time the "Old Tune Team" was busy with this matter, the sun had already reached the middle of the sky, but under the layers of yellow air, it looked weak.
At the urging of Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian and others left the hotel in search of food.
Considering that I would have to take Lao Ge to the Hunter Guild later, the "Old Tune Group" was familiar nearby, so I chose the "Old Henry" restaurant again, so as not to go to an unfamiliar place and encounter any accidents.
Seeing them, the brown-haired waiter took the initiative to entertain them yesterday evening and led them to find a remote seat to sit down.
After recording the dishes they ordered, he said in a low voice:
"You should have been to the Hunter's Guild, do you want to ask the friend I know for news?"
"This is exactly what we want." Jiang Baimian nodded.
She has a lot of confidence to make sure that some of the high-performance batteries have been charged.
Of course, she planned to meet the intelligence dealer again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, which would be more secure.
"Where is your friend, what is his name?" Shang Jianyao took the initiative to ask.
The brown-haired waiter didn't say anything, just looked at them with a smile.
Bai Chen took out a spare knight silver coin on his body and handed it to him.
The brown-haired waiter stretched out his hand to take it, smiling more and more kindly:
"Her name is Kittis, and she works at the Fire and Iron Hotel."
Shang Jianyao suddenly showed a distressed expression.
That knight silver coin was spent in vain!
This is the intelligence dealer they know!
"She took a break today, and she should come to us for lunch later." The brown-haired waiter further said, "Let me introduce you to you."
Kitty is really well-informed and well-known...... I really can't tell ...... Jiang Baimian secretly sighed, and the female front desk appeared at the door of the "Old Henry" restaurant.
She was wearing a linen shirt, trousers of the same color, dark black boots, wrapped in a dark leather jacket, her honey-colored hair was still casually pulled, and her gray and blue eyes were big and blank.
Kitty came in like this, and her whole body acted like she was sleepwalking, almost hitting the table and chair several times.
This condition is too bad...... The price of the awakened? Now that something like this happens, Jiang Baimian's first reaction is the price of the awakened.
The more abnormal it is, the more likely it is to involve the Awakened One!
"Kittis, someone is looking for you." The brown-haired waiter greeted with a smile.
Kitty raised her eyelids, glanced over here, and walked over slowly.
"What do you want to inquire?" She asked with a slight vigilance.
Shang Jianyao blurted out in astonishment:
"You don't know us anymore?"
He looked aggrieved and disappointed.
Kitty thought about it for a moment, and finally remembered:
"Are you guests of the hotel?"
She didn't seem to have much of an impression of what happened in the morning.
"Yes." Jiang Baimian said to the brown-haired waiter, "Add a chair to Ms. Kittis."
When Kitty sat down and the waiter left, Shang Jianyao took out a photo of his father and handed it to the intelligence dealer:
"Do you know this person?
"He may have been to Gersterburg twelve years ago."
Shang Jianyao's action was lightning fast, just like the drill had been practiced many times, and Jiang Baimian had no time to stop it.
Kittis took the photo and whispered:
"Twelve years ago I was only 14 years old......
Suddenly, she paused, and her tone changed:
"This gray earth man......"
