Embers Ad Infinitum

Vol 2 Chapter 59: lack of money

that? Jiang Baimian suddenly had a bad feeling.

Wouldn't this be an unexpected start?

When you eat a meal, you will encounter secret things?

From the fact that the hotel does not provide food, to the restaurant in Gustburg, where there is no telephone installed, to the lack of food, she has to go out to find food. There is no way to escape.

Bai Chen resisted the urge to glance at Long Yuehong, but Long Yuehong raised a heart, and his mind was full of "Is it a coincidence?"

Shang Jianyao was not surprised but delighted, looked around, and asked sneakily:

"How much are you talking about, and how do you sell them?"

The male **** took a slow breath and said:

"See which one you want, two cheap knight silver coins, ten 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 also paid two knight silver coins for tax, and the suite they lived in was only one knight silver coin per night.

They just ordered so many natural and non-distorted meats that 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 this transaction.

Shang Jianyao will no longer play riddles:

"Which one are you talking about?"

The waiter blurted out in amazement:

"Wine!

"Otherwise what do you think it is?"

Wine... How to sell a wine to get the feeling of selling arms and the latest products of Elysium... Long Yuehong was a little stunned.

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

Shang Jianyao was disappointed for a while:

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

The brown-haired waiter who was about the same age as Shang Jianyao, who had obviously undergone some genetic modification, 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're coming from the south and want to know where to find information in Gustburg. Besides going to the Hunter's Guild, who else can we ask?"

The waiter sighed and asked without answering:

"Are you relic hunters?"

"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded lightly.

The brown-haired waiter showed a clear expression.

He first said to Shang Jian Yao:

"There is no Coke. If you really want to drink it, you can find it in the surrounding city ruins, but I don't know how the Coke that has been stored for decades will taste. I can only tell you that I will recycle Coke cans and Coke. Guy, the metal kind, the price is based on 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 came early, wait a month or two, and when the icefield is summer, you can go there to explore various city ruins.

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

"For us locals, whether we live well or badly every year depends on how much we can harvest in summer. It is almost impossible to make a fortune by working."

He is quite tolerant and warm towards beautiful ladies.

"Why?" Shang Jianyao didn't look at the other party's face at all, and he asked, "Why can't you make a fortune if you work hard and work hard?"

The brown-haired waiter showed a mocking smile:

"It's very 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 workshop manager. If I go to the circuit court, I can only serve as a trial assistant, and I can't go any further. It is better to be a free waiter, and I can resign at any time, and I can find it again when I come back. similar work."

"Why can't you be a high-level manager of the entire factory, and you can't be a judge of the circuit court?" Shang Jianyao asked.

The brown-haired waiter said with a solemn expression:

"Because the knights also have sons."

"..." Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and others deeply realized what the "White Knights" meant by emphasizing superiority and inferiority.

There are more than 20 great knights under the head of the "White Knights". Some of them hold different positions in the headquarters, or contribute military force, or contribute wisdom, or contribute experience, and some are the head of a branch of the Knights. And the highest civil affairs officer stationed there, for example, as an important frontier stronghold, industrial base, and mining city, Gerstburg always has a branch of the Knights stationed. He also served as the consul of Gerstburg.

The great knights form the "Great Knight Council", which decides the most important affairs of the "White Knights". Under them are the consuls or lords of various settlements (the kind whose strategic position is not important enough) and senior knight assistants. Knights, under the senior knights are knights, which are divided into three classes, the highest is the white knight, the middle is the purple knight, and the lowest is the red knight.

Under the knights are squires, also known as quasi knights.

Then there are ordinary people.

The brown-haired waiter obviously didn't want to deal with the businessman. He glanced at the recorded menu and reminded Jiang Baimian:

"But there is a city ruins in the northeast, don't go there. It's very dangerous. Well, it's called Konimeth."

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 I didn't know a lot of people, and I often went to the icefield to adventure, even the name might be wrong. I remember when I was a child, Koningmi. There are often businessmen coming here, who knows..."

"Did it only become a ruin a few years ago?" Shang Jianyao blurted out in surprise and performed very professionally.

The brown-haired waiter nodded:

"They were destroyed for following the devil."

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

"I heard that." The brown-haired waiter shrugged. "When I was a teenager, my elders liked to scare me by sending me to Conimmis to feed the devil."

"Was that before Koningmis was destroyed, or after?" Jiang Baimian tried to confirm this.

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

Long Yuehong and others were a little disappointed. They thought that Koningmis had been rumored to follow the devil before the accident.

At this time, the brown-haired waiter added:

"When my grandfather was alive, he told me to try not to get close to Konimis, hehe, he might be afraid that I would be abducted."

In the hearts of the older generation of knights, Konimis has a problem? Jiang Baimian did not continue this topic.

She could see that the other party was obviously not sure of the real reason for Grandpa's advice.

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

He bent down and suppressed his voice:

"What do you want to inquire about?"

"All aspects." Jiang Baimian answered vaguely.

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

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

"For the time being, no need." Jiang Baimian forced a smile, "We will go to the Hunter Guild tomorrow to see if we want to find him or not."

It was hard to prove that it was just a false alarm, and she didn't want to take the initiative to provoke "accidents".

She just wanted to recharge all the high-performance batteries with peace of mind and replenish her food before launching an investigation.

The brown-haired waiter understands very well:

"I understand."

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

"Why don't the people here suspect that they are spies, but simply believe that they are from a newly annexed 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 basic homework." Jiang Baimian nodded lightly.

Bai Chen went on to say:

"However, they should also be outsiders, like us, for other reasons to come to Gustburg."

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

Bai Chen calmly replied:

"I just remembered a few things I've heard before:

"The area ruled by the 'White Knights' was severely polluted when the old world was destroyed, and all creatures suffered from bad distortions. Only a few places and some rivers are relatively normal, and they have become the current settlements. There is clean flour and meat~www.readwn.com~ Lao Ge said before that this area is not suitable for planting and grazing in the old world. In the early years, the people of the 'White Knights' used materials on the one hand Trade, in exchange for food and meat, on the other hand had to keep so many people alive by hunting aberrations.

"If it weren't for the fight against pollution and aberrations, the humans here wouldn't be so easily receptive to genetically modified drugs."

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

"The food production here is insufficient, and it 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 Elysium.

Bai Chen pursed his mouth and said:

"This should also be related to the 'White Knights' advocating simplicity."

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

Gustburg 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 "accidental" hitting him, plus the cans, energy bars and compressed biscuits that have been eaten for too long, the "Old Tune Group" ate quickly and just wanted to fill their stomachs quickly and return to the hotel.

Soon, full of food and drink, they left the table and walked to the door of the restaurant.

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

They have limited supplies, and the currency exchanged from Smith's "rootless" team is not much, and the remaining items on the jeep are not suitable for trading.

Shang Jianyao said excitedly:

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

While talking, they passed the previous table of guests.

The sharp and clear Bai Chen suddenly caught a word:

"Bodhi".
