Embers Ad Infinitum

Hearing Gitis say "I know", Shang Jianyao suddenly became excited:

"Then do you know the whereabouts of that sniper?"

You think the intelligence dealer is a god, you know everything... Long Yuehong couldn't help but sneered.

Gitis's eyes briefly lost focus, then returned to normal, maintaining the mysterious smile before and said:

"It's not impossible to know if necessary."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Baimian's expression became serious.

Kittis replied with a slightly erratic voice:

"As long as you can pay me enough, I can help you find the sniper. Of course, there is no guarantee of success."

"How much remuneration is enough?" Jiang Baimian did not set a price himself.

Gitis thought for a few seconds and said:

"For ten Great Knight Gold Coins, I will try to give you an answer within three days. For five Great Knight Gold Coins, there will be feedback within two weeks. For one Great Knight Gold Coin, there may be results in a month or two.

"You don't need to pay now. Just give me a deposit of ten knight silver coins. When I ask for the corresponding information, you will give me money based on the importance of the information and the time spent."

In other words, if Gitis can find out the whereabouts of the sniper within three days after paying the deposit, the "old tune team" will have to give her ten Grand Knight gold coins, and so on.

"It's very reasonable." Although the total money of the "Old Tune Team" now totals less than three Grand Knight gold coins, Jiang Baimian still agreed without hesitation, "Deal."

The sooner the sniper's whereabouts are known, the better. And as for the money, with the strength of the "Old Tune Team", are you afraid that you won't be able to earn it?

As for whether Jitis can finally provide the corresponding information, Jiang Baimian is actually not too confident, but in this matter, it is definitely not wrong to have more ways and more hope. At most, it will lose ten knight silver coins. deposit.

If Gitis is indeed extremely well-informed and finds out the whereabouts of the sniper, it will be a complete surprise for the "Old Tune Team".

Compared with the value of this information and this joy, those ten Grand Knight gold coins are nothing.

Jiang Baimian immediately took off his tactical backpack, took out a handful of knight's silver coins, and counted a full thirty coins to Gitis.

She reminded:

“The previous collateral can be returned to us.”

The "Old Tune Team" originally still lacked Kitis's twenty knight's silver coins.

Jitis's eyes suddenly became bright. After counting the silver coins carefully, she opened the drawer and took out Jiang Baimian's "United 202".

While Jiang Baimian was inspecting the gun, Shang Jianyao warned Jitis who was busy collecting the knight's silver coins:

"There may be a very powerful and terrifying organization behind that sniper. If you want to find out his whereabouts, you must pay attention to your own safety. You must not expose your existence in order to get information quickly.

"Be careful!"

Jitis, who had hard features, was obviously stunned when she heard this. It seemed that as an information dealer, she had never encountered any employer who specifically reminded her to be careful about her personal safety.

Of course, words like "Be careful" and "Don't walk at night" are obviously not included in this list.

Sometimes, he is a moral model... Jiang Baimian sighed secretly as he put "United 202" back on his armed belt.

When the "Old Tune Team" walked upstairs, Kittis fell into her own world again. She sat there with eyes blank, not knowing what she was thinking.

"We are still short of half of the ten gold knight coins." After returning to the room, Long Yuehong said worriedly.

Most of the Hunter Guild's missions are based on Knight Silver Coins, and few involve Grand Knight Gold Coins.

"If we can really get those ten gold knight coins, I will give the money to Kitis even if I sell my blood!" Jiang Baimian responded with a smile.

This is a great thing!

Honest Gnawa reminded:

“According to various sources, the blood business in Gerstburg is not doing well.

"Formal members of the 'White Knights' donate blood regularly. There is no border pressure here, there are not many robbers, and there are only a few cases that are serious enough to require blood transfusions."

This is different from the original city, where there are many black clinics and the demand for blood is not small.

Ordinary residents who are sick, injured at work, or require massive blood transfusions often give up directly. Although the "White Knights" uphold the knight's creed and will provide certain subsidies, this still puts a lot of financial pressure on a family.

In short, what Gnawa meant was that selling blood was not a good business that could make a lot of money in Gerstburg.

"I'm just making an analogy." Jiang Baimian responded weakly.

Shang Jianyao then said:

"If it doesn't work, we will sell the nuclear bomb to the great knight of Gerstberg!

"This can always be exchanged for a lot of Great Knight gold coins, right?"

Long Yuehong wanted to sneer but didn't know what to say.

Jiang Baimian laughed and said:

"When selling nuclear bombs, should you leave Lao Ge in a hidden place outside, and then tell the great knight that if you don't buy the nuclear warhead, we will let our companions give instructions to remotely detonate it, and everyone will die together?

"Of course, if he buys it, for the sake of peace and tranquility in the dust, the nuclear warhead will still be kept by us. He can only extract it when he is forced to retreat and use it to scare people."

"..." Long Yuehong's mouth twitched slightly when she heard this.

The first keywords that came to his and Bai Chen's minds were:

Blackmail!

"No." Shang Jianyao replied seriously, "What if the great knight is an awakener at the 'soul corridor' level, and his strength is 'electromagnetic interference'? In that case, the instructions issued remotely will be distorted and unable to produce Corresponding effect.”

"Have you really considered the feasibility?" Jiang Baimian was angry and funny.

She hurriedly concluded:

"The money problem is easier to solve. The boat will go straight to the bridge. On the contrary, the whereabouts of the sniper is not easy to find.

"Well, just wait patiently for the news."

When it was getting dark, the "Old Tune Group" had just finished dinner and returned to the "Fire and Iron" Hotel when they received a visitor.

He was none other than the Gerstburg Sheriff Yergai whom Jiang Baimian and others had met before.

Yergei put on a black coat made of thick woolen cloth, held a pair of thin black gloves, and knocked on the door of the "Old Tune Group".

——In this season, the temperature in Gerstburg is fine during the day, but still relatively cold at night.

After opening the door, Shang Jianyao showed a warm smile:

"Mr. Sheriff, do you want to hire us?"

Yergei coughed twice in embarrassment, and walked into the room and said:

"We found few clues at the Mining Federation building, and Gerstberg has a lot to deal with.

"So, we plan to assign the tedious task of tracking down the sniper's whereabouts to the Hunter Guild, and I'm here to hope that you can also participate.

"On this matter, no relic hunter knows the specific details better than you."

"What's the reward?" Jiang Baimian asked with a smile.

Yergei cleared his throat and said:

“I can find a valuable clue, a Grand Knight gold coin.

"You can directly locate the sniper, five gold knight coins."

He did not mention the reward for capturing the target, because this was done by default by the Sheriff in cooperation with the local knights, so as to prevent the ruin hunters from taking this opportunity to "legally" invade the settlement.

Five knight gold coins... If Gitis can really find out the whereabouts of the sniper within three days, our gap will only be two and a half knight gold coins... Long Yuehong did a quick mental calculation and felt that this was not bad. It is not too difficult to make money.

Although the normal situation is that they should first accept the task from Yeergai, and then purchase the information from Kitis at a lower price to make a small profit, the purpose of the "Old Tune Team" is not to obtain the bounty. Instead, he caught the sniper, and he was willing to pay for it.

Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said:

"no problem.

"Mr. Sheriff, please tell us the details of today's investigation at the Mining Federation. This can effectively save everyone's time, can't it?"

This is what it should be. Yeergai didn't think it was too much. He took out a pile of information that he had prepared long ago from the inside of his coat and handed it to Jiang Baimian:

"This is the result of the investigation and the viewing report of the surveillance video."

As expected by the "Old Investigation Team", there was no person carrying or carrying a long box in the elevator in the surveillance video, and no one in the building tested the smoke reaction. The anti-material sniper rifle, which must have been more conspicuous, was also not found. .

Moreover, the security guards of Gerstburg also asked who the three people who left before they came were. They went to the door and conducted inquiries and searches, but found no problems.

After quickly browsing the report, Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment and said:

"We need complete surveillance footage."

Yergai glanced at Gnava, nodded slightly and said:

"Also ready."

He then took out a small memory chip.

After Gnava completed reading and copying, Yergai asked for the data and chip back and went to the Hunter Guild to release the mission.

"How is it? Are there any traces of the surveillance video being deleted?" After sending Ye Ergai downstairs, back to the room, and closing the wooden door, Jiang Baimian asked Gnawa.

The speed of Gnawa's analysis cannot be matched by carbon-based people. He has already output the results before and told Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Shang Jianyao. At this time, he repeated the answer:

"No.

"There was no sign of interference."

"It seems that it is indeed through the stairs." Jiang Baimian thought for a few seconds and said, "Now let's go to the Mining Federation building to have another look and ask people."

In order to prevent the clues from being cut off, she has to race against time.

"Okay!" Shang Jianyao couldn't wait.

Five members of the "old tune team" went downstairs and saw Kitis packing her belongings and waiting for her colleagues to take over their shift.

Jiang Baimian saw this and asked casually:

"Is there any result?"

Is there any result in tracing the whereabouts of the sniper?

Gitis raised her head and suddenly showed that mysterious smile:

"Yes."
