Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 71 The Delegate

Jiang Baimian seemed to have anticipated the hostess's retort, and said with a smile:

"I thought that Redstone was used as a smuggling center and could get cheap robots, military exoskeleton devices and smart armor."

The hotel owner said through the loudspeaker high in the room again:

"It's not a bargain, and it's very popular. For me, it's great now. There is no need to waste a lot of materials and rare contacts to make improvements."

"So..." Jiang Baimian nodded with satisfaction.

Through this dialogue, she determined two things:

One is that it is indeed possible to obtain military exoskeleton devices in Redstone Collection; the other is that they are very popular, and they cannot be obtained without the corresponding contacts and sufficient materials.

Jiang Baimian deliberately commented "loudly" just now, just because of these words.

She was not as cheap as Shang Jian Yao, and she couldn't control herself.

The hotel owner was quite wary, did not say more, repeating the previous question:

"How many rooms do you want, how many nights?"

"Two, twin beds, one with bathroom, let's go for a week first." Jiang Baimian had already considered this issue.

The hotel owner replied through the horn:

"What materials can you give?"

"Military canned food." Shang Jianyao answered without hesitation.

During the period of traveling south, the "old tune group" was a bit tired of canned food.

"It must have not been opened." The owner of the hotel emphasized, so as not to be simply poisoned.

She went on to say:

"One can per room per night, 14 cans in total.

"You open the metal door on the wall, put the can in, and then close the door."

Jiang Baimian motioned to Shang Jian Yao to open the metal door like a window on the wall.

Inside is a hollowed out platform, on the other side of the platform there is the same metal door.

Seeing that Yao was not in a hurry to leave, Shang took the initiative to say:

"We still want masks."

"Four masks count as a gift," the hotel owner replied.

Shang Jian Yao was overjoyed and asked curiously:

"If I don't ask, will you take the initiative to send it?"

"No." The hotel owner was very calm.

Shang Jian Yao wanted to say something. Long Yuehong, who had been hinted by Jiang Baimian, had carried the carton a few steps forward, counted 14 cans, and put them on a tray in the platform.

Immediately afterwards, he closed the outer metal door.

With a click, the metal door seemed to be locked.

Shang Jianyao immediately heard a sound of friction coming from inside, so he asked seriously:

"What if she runs away with the can?"

Jiang Baimian smiled, smiling like a villain:

"Then get our bazooka and blow it against the wall here!"

After dozens of seconds, the horn in the upper part of the room rang:

"You can open the door and take the electronic card and mask."

Shang Jianyao, who had been guarding the wall, opened the metal door enthusiastically.

The cans in the tray are gone, and there are two more electronic cards in a white plastic shell and a cloth mask randomly stacked on top of each other.

Shang Jian Yao didn't even look at the two electronic cards, so he shook off the cloth mask and selected them carefully.

These four masks are a beautiful monk, a monkey with a hairy face and a pointed mouth, a fat pig with garlic in the nostrils, and a vicious man with a beard.

"It's boring, it's boring..." Shang Jianyao first excluded monks and men.

Obviously, he thought it was too ordinary.

After some comparisons, he chose the vigorous monkey and put the mask on his face.

Jiang Baimian shook his head helplessly:

"You have never seen a real monkey, you can't imitate the essence."

"Yes." Shang Jianyao was very sorry.

Jiang Baimian moved closer and eliminated the fat pig mask for the first time.

In the end, she picked the delicate monk mask.

Long Yuehong endured his anxiety and said to Bai Chen quite modestly:

"You first."

Bai Chen was not polite, and took away the wicked man's mask.

Long Yuehong sighed silently, and could only accept this result.

"These masks remind me of some old-world stories." Jiang Baimian said casually while probing his hand to grab the electronic card, "I will tell you some time later."

There are labels on the two electronic cards, one is "05" and the other is "06".

According to the introduction of the inn’s owner, the four "old tune group" drove away from the underground Redstone Ji and went around to the other side of the hill.

This is a flat land surrounded by trees, and there are many rows of blue and white simple houses.

At this time, the sky had dimmed, and the surrounding area seemed quiet and deserted, as if no one existed at all.

But whether it was Jiang Baimian or Bai Chen, they could perceive that someone was hiding in some hidden places nearby, monitoring this side.

Rooms "05" and "06" are close to the hills and are relatively spacious. In addition to two single beds and a table, chair and sofa, they also have their own bathroom for bathing.

"Take a break, and I will deal with it first." Jiang Baimian is still satisfied with the environment of the simple hotel, and does not want to enter the Redstone Set again, looking for the hidden restaurant owner.

"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong and Bai Chen responded in unison. Shang Jian Yao was rather regretful.

…………

After the sky was completely dark, the damp and cold air soaked into the room, making Long Yuehong, who was listening to the group leader's old world story, begin to feel cold.

He regretted why he didn't come back with an extra outfit.

At this moment, the door of room "05" was knocked.

Shang Jianyao, who had long been sensible, had already put on the monkey mask, came to the door of the room, and asked:

"Squeak?"

"..." The people outside the door were obviously stunned.

Jiang Baimian sighed helplessly:

"Use human words."

Don't imitate monkeys!

Shang Jian Yao then returned to normal:

"Who?"

"Is the money white?" The man outside, speaking in dusty language.

Qian Bai is Bai Chen's name when he registered as a hunter.

"What's wrong with me?" Bai Chen stood up and put on the mask.

The man outside lowered his voice:

"There is a task I want to entrust to you."

"Why?" Bai Chen asked.

"Because you are an'intermediate hunter', and you are the kind that is about to become an'senior hunter'." The man outside the door simply explained.

Insert one sentence, [\Mic\Mic\Reading\app\\] It’s really good, it’s worth installing, even Android and Apple phones support it!

Bai Chen glanced at Jiang Baimian, saw her nodding slightly, and said to Shang Yao:

"Open the door."

Shang Jian Yao immediately opened the door and stretched his face wearing a monkey mask forward.

The man outside the door was about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a black cloak and a mask with black stripes on a white background. He had no surprises when he saw a scary "monkey".

In the Redstone set, this is the basic etiquette.

What mask has he not seen?

After entering the door, the man crossed his hands, placed in front of him, and took a step back:

"The vigilance is forever."

"Are you a guard against sects?" Bai Chen led the conversation, and Jiang Baimian chose to listen with interest.

The man wearing the cloak and the mask nodded:

"I am Renato, Bishop of the Vigilant Sect at Redstone."

"Sit down." Bai Chen pointed to the empty spot on the sofa.

Shang Jian Yao continued to guard the door, holding his arms, posing as if I was a thug.

When Renato sat down, Bai Chen asked:

"As the mainstream sect of Redstone Set, you should have good strength. Why do you want to entrust me and my team?"

Renato was silent for a moment:

"Some things are not convenient for believers to know, so I didn't pass the Hunter's Guild either."

"If it's too difficult, don't talk about it." Bai Chen chose to communicate in his own style.

Renato said quite honestly:

"I don't know whether it is difficult or not, how dangerous it is."

"Then briefly talk about it first." Bai Chen nodded.

Renato glanced at the others in the room:

"You should have heard Gaudi talk about some things about our sect.

"We just held a mass a few days ago. The theme was "Hiding" in order to please the gods, that is, the old "you aunt" whom we believe in.

"In this hiding game, there is still one person not found."

Upon hearing this, Shang Jian Yao rushed to reply:

"Vier!"

"Yes." Renato affirmed, "Because he has been hiding for almost three days, and everyone else has been found, I decided to end Mass and let him come out. The result..."

Speaking of this, Renato's tone changed slightly. As for his expression, because he was wearing a mask, he couldn't see:

"As a result, I didn't find him either.

"And he didn't take the initiative."

What did you call me? It seems that you are better at finding people than other believers? Because it is an awakened one, can sense the existence of consciousness? Viel is dead, or is he awakening on his own and can he hide his consciousness? Jiang Baimian grasped Renato's words and analyzed it in his heart.

Bai Chen nodded slightly:

"Do you want us to help you find Viere?"

"Yeah." Renato sighed, "If something goes wrong in the mass ceremony, the followers of UU reading www.uukanshu.com will question my piety, thinking that I have put the gods to shame."

Bai Chen pretended to discuss with the team members, first scanned Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, and then looked at Jiang Baimian.

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly.

Bai Chen immediately responded to Renato:

"We can take this task, and we believe in your credit, but without knowing the details, I cannot guarantee that it will be completed."

"I understand." Renato expressed his understanding. "What kind of remuneration do you hope to get?"

"Help me introduce arms dealers who can buy heavy weapons and advanced equipment." Bai Chen said calmly, "This is part of it. The rest will be discussed after the exploration of the site, and will be paid when Vier is found."

Simply giving an introduction is not a burden for Renato, he replied without hesitation:

"no problem.

"Then when do you go to the exploration site?"

"It's dark already, tomorrow morning." Bai Chen didn't worry at all.

"Yes, very vigilant." Renato praised and stood up and said, "Early tomorrow morning, you will drive along the road outside the park to the lakeside, where someone will wait."

"Okay." Bai Chen followed up, "I wish to cooperate happily."

Renato crossed his hands again, placed it on his chest, and took a step back:

"Vigilance is God's cue."

After watching him leave, Shang Jian Yao closed the door and announced with piercing eyes:

"The final duel has begun."

Jiang Baimian took off his mask, and said:

"If you dare to hide so I can't find it, I will leave you in the Redstone Collection!"

"I am a spear." Shang Jianyao emphasized that he didn't want to hide, but to break the opponent's "shield".
