Embers Ad Infinitum

Spant, who was driving, paid attention to the road conditions and observed whether there were any problems with the people in the car ahead.

Frankly speaking, he was a little nervous. When a task involves considerable risks, participants will be more or less nervous unless they have enough confidence.

But gradually, Spante figured out one thing:

"I have a full understanding of my own strength and know that there are certain risks in participating in this mission, so I am not too confident, but I am very confident in the team of ruin hunters I am working with!"

With their equipment and their performance, they could kill all the armed men present on their own!

The same holds true for incoming enemy teams!

After confirming that he was on the side of the strong, Spant suddenly felt a sense of security and confidence.

As soon as he figured this out, he relaxed and completely forgot about his tension.

He was even looking forward to it, expecting that after the aggressive enemies launched an attack, he would find that there was an unexpected strong opponent here, and that the dangerous prey that originally required a lot of effort to deal with had directly turned into an invincible devil.

At that time, their expressions must have been very exciting... Spant almost lost his mind.

His sedan truck turned one corner after another, bypassing one mineral deposit after another in the deep mountains.

Until they were out of the mountains, with Gerstberg in sight, Spant still found no suspicious person.

The journey was uneventful.

"There was no attack? Was the news Sandro received false?" Spant muttered silently.

Instead of feeling relaxed, he felt a little disappointed.

Disappointed that the expected "big battle" did not happen.

——Gesterburg is close to the ice sheet, has a cold climate, rich mineral deposits, and the folk customs are inevitably a bit tough. Therefore, after feeling that his safety is guaranteed, Spant hopes to see military exoskeleton devices and bionic smart armor." Battle with enemies who only have ordinary weapons, so you can see how powerful high-level equipment is.

Another person who also didn't relax was Sandro, the cargo owner's security director and employer of several teams of relic hunters.

He was more confused.

His boss is a well-informed person, which has been proven in many aspects in the past. This time, he told Sandro with great certainty in advance that someone was eyeing this batch of goods and organized a group of powerful people to prepare for the attack on Sandao. launch an attack.

But now, what the boss promised did not happen. The whole process of escorting the goods was as calm as an armed parade.

"Did the boss receive wrong information this time?" Sandro could only explain it this way.

However, he did not relax, and he would never lose vigilance before sending the goods to the warehouse.

It’s not like there haven’t been attacks from within Gerstburg in the past!

Bai Chen drove the jeep and followed the car in front of him through a checkpoint.

The soldiers guarding the card may have been dealt with in advance, or they may have not checked the vehicles coming from the mine. In short, they did not step forward to intercept and allowed the convoy to smoothly enter the interior of the large settlement of Gerstburg.

After driving along the road outside the factory area for a while, Spant followed the planned route and turned towards the storage area.

Not long after, he parked his vehicle in front of an ordinary-looking warehouse with only two security guards guarding the door.

There was indeed no attack... The twelve gold knight coins for the ruin hunter were a bit of a waste... Sandro muttered silently to himself, signaled the driver to speed up and rushed to the entrance of the warehouse to complete the handover.

The car he was sitting in, which was embedded with bulletproof armor, immediately passed several trucks and drove towards the entrance of the warehouse.

During the journey, Sandro, who was in the passenger seat, kept looking to the right, examining the continuous motorcade, making sure not to fall in the last meter before the finish line.

As he scrutinized it, Sandro's pupils suddenly dilated.

It reflected a car window and the iron-black python's head behind the car window!

Immediately afterwards, Sandro confirmed that it was not a python, but a person wearing a corresponding bionic smart armor.

On the other side, the woman driving the car was wearing a cold and hard military exoskeleton device.

If he hadn't still had reason, and if another man wearing a military exoskeleton hadn't suddenly crossed his body, crossed his companions, and waved "friendly" through the car window, Sandro would have used his ability reflexively.

The price he paid was "no longer excited." From then on, he lost excitement, excitement and other emotions, and even sleeping with women was just a routine.

This has had quite a negative impact in many aspects, but sometimes it can still play a certain role.

Sandro, who is not excited, will always react a little slower at critical moments, and this effectively avoids accidents where the gun goes off and attacks his companions.

Therefore, he did not attack the "old team" first. He calmly observed the situation and believed that the opposite team did not have any malicious intentions.

What he didn't know was that Shang Jianyao's "literary youth" and Jiang Baimian's "space illusion" were ready to go.

Sandro's car passed the jeep of the "Old Tune Team", overtook Spante, and arrived at the entrance of the warehouse.

He got out of the car and exchanged a few words with the two security guards guarding the door.

The warehouse door opened, and the vehicles carrying goods drove directly in.

The four hired ruin hunter teams were left outside.

Except for Spant and the "Old Tune Team", the ruin hunters from the other three teams were all happy.

It was so easy to earn the bounty this time, and it was worth three Great Knight Gold Coins!

It was as if they had gone out for an outing and picked up a lot of money. The only difference was that their spirits were always tense and their mood was a little uneasy, not as pleasant as an outing.

After all the vehicles carrying goods entered the warehouse, Sandro motioned to the two security personnel to close the door and walked towards the Jeep of the "Old Adjustment Team".

Shang Jianyao had already changed places with Long Yuehong, raised his mask, looked at the open car window, and greeted Sandro with a smile:

"It's only ten o'clock now, is there still free lunch?"

The escort mission without being attacked only took two hours, and there was still a few minutes difference.

Sandro, who had already thought about what to ask and how to ask, did not expect to encounter such a question. For a moment, he felt a bit like a robot encountering a bug. He stood there and was stuck for several seconds.

"There shouldn't be any more." Sandro finally figured out what the other party was asking.

The reason for his answer was that since the mission had been completed ahead of schedule, he had to report to his boss quickly, and he could not leave these ruin hunters in the warehouse area with his own people.

Jian Shang Jian Yao showed obvious disappointment, and Sandro added:

"I will convert it into knight silver coins and give it to you together with the reward."

Shang Jianyao suddenly laughed:

"You are indeed a good person, generous, generous and friendly."

"By the way." He suppressed his voice and asked curiously, "Who is your boss?"

Sandro shook his head silently:

"This is not something you should know."

"We have all done missions together, so we must be considered friends. It is normal for friends to share some secrets." Shang Jianyao tried his best to persuade, and even used "thought implantation".

He plans to take this opportunity to ask Sandro to keep his group's secrets.

Spant will enjoy the same treatment later.

Sandro's eyes were dazed for a moment and he whispered:

"It's Mr. Esther."

Esther, director of the Gerstberg Mining Federation? One of the five people we want to ‘visit’ later? Jiang Baimian hurriedly made a gesture to Shang Jianyao to ask.

"Oh!" Shang Jianyao was very excited, "We happen to have something to ask Mr. Esther. I wonder if you can introduce him to him?"

"No problem." Sandro agreed without hesitation, "You will follow me later."

"Good brother!" Shang Jianyao was so moved that he praised him greatly.

To this end, he said quite generously:

"You don't have to pay for the meal, just keep it and spend it yourself."

Without waiting for Sandro to respond, he looked at the warehouse and said in a lowered voice again:

"What is the cargo this time?"

Sandro glanced around and replied in the same low voice:

"Part potato spirit, part certain rare metals."

The former is a highly profitable and high-priced item in Gerstburg and all settlements of the "White Knights", and the latter is a strategic resource for many forces.

"Oh." Shang Jianyao lost interest.

After his men unloaded the goods, Sandro left them in the warehouse and led the three ruin hunter teams, the disarmed "Old Adjustment Team" and Spant to the Hunter Guild to complete the commission.

After getting two great knight gold coins, Shang Jianyao tossed them and said unsatisfactorily:

"I think it would be better to exchange them for knight's silver coins. It's such a big pile. It makes me happy just to look at it!"

This is worth two hundred knight's silver coins.

Jiang Baimian confiscated the gold coins from this guy angrily:

“Isn’t it convenient to carry around?

"Look at the people in Gerstburg, most of them have to carry an extra money bag."

Wallets unearthed from the ruins of the surrounding city are not practical here.

At this time, Sandro came closer and said to Shang Jianyao and others:

"Let's go to Mr. Esther's house."
