Chapter 847 Regret
This is much more troublesome than money... Jiang Baimian, who only had two Grand Knight gold coins on his body, sighed secretly when he heard Esther's request.
She asked:
"whats the matter?
"If it is too difficult and beyond our capabilities, then we can only choose to give up."
She deliberately did not show that she and others were determined to win, lest Lion Esther would open his mouth.
In that case, the situation will be more difficult to deal with, and it will be easier to embarrass yourself.
Shang Jianyao didn't make a whining sound, nor did he nod or shake his head. He was quite cooperative.
Esther seemed to be lost in memories, and after a while he said:
"The things I want you to help do may be very dangerous to others. Except for the kind of people who only have one life left and nothing else, no one will be willing to take over, but you are different."
"Mr. Esther, do you think too highly of us?" Jiang Baimian frowned slightly and asked, not blindly arrogant at all.
Although the strength of the "Old Tune Group" is already outstanding on the dusty soil, after all, Shang Jianyao is considered the most powerful group of people among the strong people in the "New World", and the strong people in the "New World" rarely have freedom. The frequency of actions and actions is very low, but Jiang Baimian, who has experienced so many things, dare not be proud at all. Not to mention the various dangers hidden, I am afraid that only the strong men of the "New World" can compete with those ruins to a certain extent. The person's fragile body requires one to be alert.
It’s not like there weren’t powerful awakened people who capsized in the sewers and died at the hands of people with abilities weaker than themselves or even ordinary people!
Esther smiled:
"What I mean is not that the danger of that matter is nothing to you, but that even if it has a very high risk, you should still 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 highlight his lack of confidence in strength.
Esther's eyes swept back and forth between her and Shang Jianyao's faces several times, and said with a slight smile:
"The matter you are tracing is obviously related to Cornimis, and the regret I want you to help make up for is also related to Cornimis. Therefore, I have reason to believe that even if you know that Cornimis is a very dangerous person now, It’s a place where no one who has entered before can come out, and they will still go there and give it a try.”
Jiang Baimian was silent for a moment and said:
“It depends on whether the final argument convinces us.
"Some things are not that important compared to life."
Esther nodded:
"Then you first listen to my commission."
He placed an emphasis on the word "commission."
"Please speak." Jiang Baimian responded seriously, and Shang Jianyao also had a serious face.
Esther showed a recalling expression:
"You should already know that Cornynmis 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 continued:
“That was a sudden outbreak of ‘unintentional illness’. Nothing like this has ever happened since the destruction of the old world.
"Of course, all this is just a rumor, because there are no real witnesses, and no one who entered later came out."
"Then..." Shang Jianyao finally couldn't help it and tried to speak, but was blocked by the sudden sharp eyes of Esther and Sandro.
Jiang Baimian probably guessed what he meant and asked proactively:
"Who said that?"
"It was originally a caravan that traded in the past. Before they entered Conimis, they encountered the 'unintentional people' who had spilled out and found that something was wrong." Esther explained in detail, "They sent people and took a detour to board the I went to the mountains to the west of Cornimis and used the terrain advantages and telescopes to observe the situation inside. I found that all I saw were 'unintentional people' and there was not a single living person.
"The caravan returned to Gerstburg in panic, thinking that Konimis had suffered a major outbreak of 'unintentional disease'. After that, everyone sent people to wait for a while at several entrances and exits of Konimis, but no one was found. The survivors encountered many attacks from 'unintentional people'.
"We therefore suspect that Cornimis has become the kind of urban ruins it was when the old world was just destroyed, and has become a paradise for the 'unintentional'. This is very dangerous, and it also means wealth. When the coldest season on the ice sheet passes, knowing that Ke Nimith Those people at the specific location of Nimmis embarked on an adventure to obtain enough valuable materials from the ruins of that city, but as a result, no one came back."
Jiang Baimian heard about this past from Smith, the leader of the "Far Traveler" business group, and this was not a secret in Gerstburg.
She nodded invisibly and said to Esther:
"Go on."
This continuation refers to continuing to talk about the things to be entrusted.
Esther looked dazed for a moment:
"If you can find me, you must know that I have had close business cooperation with Cornynmis, opened a company there, and lived there for five or six months every year.
"In this kind of life, I betrayed my marriage and failed my wife. I had a lover in Cornimis, and that lover also helped me give birth to two children, a boy and a girl.
"I was very lucky. When the outbreak of 'Wu Xin' in Cornimis occurred, I was in Gerstburg, spending time with my family, but my lover and my two children were both in Cornimis at that time... …”
Esther's voice gradually became lower.
——The "White Knights" use the Knights' Creed as their code of conduct, emphasizing loyalty, advocating simplicity and temperance, and stipulating that they can only be monogamous.
Jiang Baimian did not comment on Esther's personal affairs and waited patiently for him to recover. Shang Jianyao seemed to want to criticize, but could not speak.
After a while, Esther regained her composure and continued:
"I don't have any hope whether they are still alive, or whether they have not become 'Heartless'. My commission is that if you finally choose to enter Cornyn Meath, then help me go to another place where I have lived for many years. Go home and retrieve their bones, or if there are no bones there, bring back my children’s teddy bear, a random box of building blocks, and something belonging to my lover, so that I can look back on it without regretting that I don’t have anything at hand.”
"We will consider it." Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
This mission is not inconsistent with the "Old Tune Team" investigation of Cornynmis.
Jiang Baimian turned to point out a difficulty:
"But we don't know where your residence in Cornimis is."
"When you are sure to go, I will give you a city map of Cornimis and circle my residence there." Esther is indeed quite familiar with Cornimis.
Jiang Baimian said "hmm", nodded gently and said:
"Now, you need to give us a reason to enter Conimis."
That's what Shang Jianyao's father's old team asked here.
"How could I unknowingly turn into me begging you to listen to that information?" Aster laughed at himself and handed the photo in his hand to Sandro, asking him to return it to Shang Jianyao.
When Shang Jianyao took the photo, Esther showed a recalling expression again:
"They gave me some biological agents that worked well, and in exchange, I told them about a rumor I heard in Cornimis.
"The Council of Sages in Cornimis, yes, the people who rule Cornimis, have been preaching one thing, that is, the reason why Cornimis did not suffer much blow when the old world was destroyed, and there were not many appearances. For example, "no heart disease" is because Cornynmis is unique and is favored by God.
"This sounds like nothing, and it only proves that they have a tendency to become religious. But later, one of my partners drank the spirits I brewed privately, and was so drunk that he became delirious and told me the news:
"There is a big man behind the Council of Sages. He is the actual leader of Cornimis. He is the real reason why Cornimis was protected from the outbreak and devastating blow of 'Wuxin Disease'. He calls himself the son of Zhi Sui."
The son of Zhi Sui... Jiang Baimian frowned:
"Which one is in charge?"
"I don't know about that." Esther rubbed his eyes, looking very tired. "If there is nothing else, you can leave. When you decide to enter Cornynmis, come to me. I want a map."
"Okay." Jiang Baimian didn't tell Esther right now that he and others had already made up their minds and would definitely enter Cornynmis in more than a week.
Esther leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes. 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 cargo to create opportunities, use your abilities on me, and let me take you to see the boss?"
Jiang Baimian laughed dumbly:
“It’s actually a coincidence.
"We came from afar and have almost used up the supplies we carried. We don't want to cause any trouble in Gerstburg and affect our pursuit of the corresponding information. We can only go to the Hunter Guild to take on 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 further away.
Sandro was silent again.
He didn't expect that just two gold knight coins would attract such a group of people.
