Chapter 847 Regrets
This is more troublesome than money...... Hearing Esther's request, Jiang Baimian, who only had two gold coins of the great knight, sighed secretly.
She asked:
"What's the matter?
"If it is too difficult and beyond our ability, then we can only choose to give up."
She deliberately did not show that she and others were determined to win, lest Esther Lion open his mouth.
In that case, the situation will be more difficult to manage, and it will be easier to embarrass yourself.
Shang Jianyao didn't make a whining sound, nor did he nod or shake his head, quite cooperatively.
Esther seemed to be stuck in memory, and after a while he said:
"What I want you to help with may be very dangerous for others, except for those who have only one life left and nothing else, no one will want to take over, but you are different."
"Mr. Esther, are you thinking too highly of us?" Jiang Baimian frowned slightly and asked rhetorically, not blindly arrogant at all.
After all, Shang Jianyao is the most powerful group of people under the strong people of the "New World", and the strong people of the "New World" rarely can move freely, and the frequency of shooting is very low, but Jiang Baimian, who has experienced so many things, does not dare to be proud at all, not to mention the ruins that hide all kinds of dangers that only the strong people of the "New World" can compete with to a certain extent, just the fragile body of the awakened person makes people have to build up their spirits.
It's not that there are no powerful awakened people who overturn the boat in the gutter and die at the hands of those with weaker abilities than themselves or even ordinary people!
Esther smiled:
"I don't mean that the danger of that matter is nothing to you, but even if it is very risky, you should do it, and there is a high probability that you will do it."
"Really?" Jiang Baimian tried hard to show his doubts, confusion and worries to set off his lack of confidence in strength.
Esther's eyes swept back and forth on her and Shang Jianyao's faces several times, and said with a slight smile:
"The things you are tracking are obviously related to Konymis, and the regret I want you to help make up for is also related to Konymis, so I have reason to believe that even if you know that Konymis is a very dangerous place now, no one who entered before will still go there and give it a try."
Jiang Baimian was silent for a moment and said:
"It depends on whether the final reason convinces us.
"Some things are not so important compared to life."
Esther nodded:
"Then listen to my request first."
He stressed the word "commission".
"Please speak." Jiang Baimian responded seriously, and Shang Jianyao also made a serious face.
Esther showed a reminiscing expression:
"You should already know that Koningmis was destroyed in a disaster twelve years ago."
He didn't wait for Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao to give a "yes" or "no" answer, and said to himself:
"It was a sudden outbreak of 'heartless disease', and nothing like this has happened since the destruction of the old world.
"Of course, all this is just said because there are no witnesses in the true sense, and none of the people who entered later came out."
"That ......" Shang Jianyao finally couldn't help it and tried to speak, but the words were blocked back by the sudden sharp eyes of Esther and Sandro.
Jiang Baimian probably guessed what he meant, and took the initiative to ask:
"According to whom?"
"Initially, it was a caravan that traded in the past, and before they entered Konymis, they encountered the 'heartless ones' who spilled out and found that something was wrong." Esther explained in detail, "They sent people to take a detour to the mountains west of Konymis, using the terrain advantage and telescopes to observe the situation inside, and found that what they saw were all 'heartless people', and there was no living person.
"The caravan returned to Gerstburg in fear, thinking that Konymes had suffered an outbreak of 'heartless disease', and then everyone sent people to several entrances and exits of Koningmis to wait for a while, but did not wait for a single survivor, but was attacked by the 'heartless' many times.
"We therefore suspect that Cornemis has become the ruins of the city when the Old World was first destroyed, a paradise for the 'heartless'. When the coldest season on the ice field passed, those who knew the exact location of Koningmis embarked on an adventure to obtain enough valuable supplies from the ruins of that city, and as a result, no one came back."
In this past, Jiang Baimian heard Smith, the leader of the "Far Traveler" business group, talk about it, and this is not a secret in Gersterburg.
She nodded invisibly and said to Esther:
"You continue."
This continues to refer to continuing to talk about the things to be entrusted.
Esther looked in a trance:
"You must know that I once had a close business relationship with Konymis, started a company there, and lived there for five or six months every year.
"In this life, I betrayed my marriage, failed my wife, and had a lover in Konymis, who also helped me give birth to two children, a boy and a girl.
"I was lucky that when Koningmis' 'heartless disease' broke out, I was in Gerstburg, with my family, but my lover and my two children were both in Koningmis ...... at the time."
Esther's voice gradually lowered.
——The "White Knights" take the Knight's Creed as the code of conduct, emphasize loyalty, advocate simplicity and moderation, and stipulate that only monogamy can be given.
Jiang Baimian didn't comment on Esther's private affairs, patiently waiting for him to calm down.
After a while, Esther regrouped his eyes and continued:
"I have no hope of whether they are still alive, or if they have not become 'heartless'. My commission is that if you finally choose to enter Konimis, help me go to another home where I have lived for many years and retrieve their bones, and if there are no bones there, bring back my child's teddy bear, a random box of bricks and an item from my lover, so that I can remember and not regret having nothing at hand."
"We will consider it." Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief.
This task does not contradict the investigation of Konymis by the "old tune team".
Jiang Baimian turned to point out a difficult point:
"But we don't know where your residence in Konymis is located."
"When you are sure you want to go, I will give you a map of the city of Konymis and circle my residence there." Esther is indeed quite familiar with Konymis.
Jiang Baimian said "hmm", nodded lightly and said:
"Now, you need to give us a reason to enter Konymis."
That is what Shang Jianyao's father's old tune team asked here.
"Why did I unknowingly become a beggar for you to hear that information." While Esther laughed at herself, she handed the photo in her hand to Sandro and asked him to return it to Shang Jianyao.
When Shang Jianyao took the photo, Esther once again showed a reminiscing expression:
"They gave me some bio-potions that worked well, and in exchange I told them about a rumor I had heard in Konymis.
"The Council of the Wise Men of Konymis, yes, those who ruled Konymis, have been preaching one thing, that is, the reason why Konymis did not suffer any blows when the Old World was destroyed, and there were not many cases of 'heartlessness', is because Konymis is unique and favored by God.
"It doesn't sound like much, it only proves that they have a tendency to become religious, but later, one of my partners, who drank my privately brewed spirits, got so drunk that he was insane, told me a piece of news:
"There is a big man behind the Council of Sages, he is the actual leader of Konymis, he is the real reason why Konymis was spared from the outbreak and devastating blow of 'heartless disease', he calls himself the son of the year."
The son of the year...... Jiang Baimian frowned:
"Which year?"
"I don't know about this." Esther rubbed her eyes and looked very tired, "If there's nothing else, you can leave. When you decide to enter Konymis, come to me to ask for a map."
"Okay." Jiang Baimian didn't tell Esther and others right now that he had actually made up his mind that he would inevitably enter Konymis in more than a week.
Esther leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and Sandro took the place of the boss and sent Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian downstairs.
On the way, he couldn't help but ask, after being silent for a long time:
"You took on the task of protecting the goods to create an opportunity, use your abilities on me, and let me bring you to the boss?"
Jiang Baimian laughed dumbly:
"It's actually a coincidence.
"We came from afar, and the materials we carried were almost used, and we didn't want to cause anything in Gerstburg, which would affect us to track down the corresponding intelligence, so we could only go to the Hunter Guild to pick up some tasks with good rewards and moderate difficulty."
The distance can be the southernmost part of the "White Knights" sphere of influence, or it can be farther away.
Sandro fell silent again.
He didn't expect that just two big knight gold coins would attract such a group of people.
