Embers Ad Infinitum

Seeing that the talking surveillance camera did not "attend" to him, Shang Jianyao walked back to Jiang Baimian in disappointment.

Jiang Baimian looked at the dumbfounded bandits and laughed:

"Where are you going?"

At this moment, she inexplicably felt that she was really suitable to play the villain.

Pannaniya, the leader of the "Mountain Fox" bandit group, forced a smile and said:

"We're going to visit Chief Gnava, the mayor of Tarnan and the captain of the robot guard."

He mentioned this name to give himself more confidence.

Jiang Baimian suddenly laughed:

"What a coincidence, we are also going to visit the mayor of Gnawa."

At this point, she pointed at Jorgensen and the others, pretending to be just acquainted with the bandit group opposite, and deliberately mentioned:

"We caught a few robbers on the road and are going to hand them over to the mayor of Gnawa."

Pannaniya felt as if someone had slapped him in the face. He endured the burning pain in his heart and forced a smile:

"Tarnan does have a prison."

He pretended that he had never met Jiang Baimian and others, and had never met Jorgensen and other subordinates.

He was worried that after he admitted that the bandits were his companions, the ruin hunter team opposite him would directly take action, and later produce evidence and say that they were arresting the bandits, or report it to the intelligent surveillance of "Machine Paradise" on the spot to request local law. Robot action.

Pannaniya has never encountered these two situations before, and he doesn't know how the intelligent robots in "Mechanical Paradise" will deal with them, so he doesn't dare to take risks.

The expressions of Jorgensen and others became a little embarrassed. Fortunately, they did not need to speak here.

Jiang Baimian didn't say anything more, glanced at Pannaniya and other bandits, and smiled modestly:

"Since we are all visiting Mayor Gnawa, then you go first, you go first."

How hypocritical... Long Yuehong cursed in her heart.

"You're talking bad about the team leader!" Shang Jianyao suddenly turned his head, as if he had caught you.

"No, no!" Long Yuehong stuttered.

This guy's ability has changed and he can read minds?

Hearing his stuttering answer, Shang Jianyao laughed:

"Sure enough, I was deceived!"

I'm so stupid, really... Long Yuehong concealed her guilt and retorted forcefully:

"Nothing!"

The conversation between the two of them made the bandits a little surprised, but this did not affect Pannaniya's response to Jiang Baimian:

"We're not in a hurry, we're not in a hurry, we have other things to do."

"I saw that you looked vulgar and barbaric, but I didn't expect you to be quite polite." Jiang Baimian said "like", then turned and walked towards Gnawa's single-family villa.

——Pannania has long, greasy blond hair, a rough face, and a horn helmet in his hand. He really looks like a barbarian.

The team leader can be rude, but Shang Jianyao cannot. He waved to the members of the "Mountain Fox" bandit group and said:

"goodbye!"

It's best not to see each other again... Although Pannaniya has a heart of hatred and revenge, but looking back on the previous experience, he cannot arouse the interest in washing away this shame in the future.

It was just a military exoskeleton device. He felt that if his bandit group was arranged properly, there would still be a certain chance. But the most frightening thing was that there was only one person in the ruin hunter team opposite who was attacking with all his strength, and the other three Either they were just playing together and seemed very leisurely, or they didn't know where they were, maybe they were guarding the prisoners, or maybe they were playing music.

As long as they are not much weaker than the person wearing the military exoskeleton device, their team is seeking death if they want to retaliate.

——The nickname "Mountain Fox" definitely implies cunning and caution as the name suggests. There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

While thinking this, Pannaniya and the other robbers discovered that the tall, sunny and handsome young man was standing there, looking at them and others motionlessly.

Their hearts were hung up again.

As his thoughts were spinning, Pannaniya tentatively raised his right hand and waved:

"goodbye."

Shang Jianyao turned around with satisfaction and quickly followed Jiang Baimian and others.

"..." All the robbers were speechless, feeling ridiculous and aggrieved.

"You had a lot of fun." Jiang Baimian commented.

Shang Jianyao shook his head:

"Now it's me who is strict about politeness."

Jiang Baimian's mouth moved slightly and he decided to follow the good example:

"They should really thank Teacher Shang."

Bai Chen, who was standing next to him, glanced at them silently and decided not to get involved in such a conversation, lest his own mental state would become abnormal.

Soon, the "old tune team" led the "servant army" to Gnawa's single-family villa, walked through the lawn that remained green in winter, and arrived at the door.

There are no guards here.

"It's time to show your courtesy." Jiang Baimian turned his head and said to Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao lived up to expectations, took two steps forward, and rang the doorbell.

The sound of jingling bells echoed, the door was opened, and a robot appeared in front of them.

This robot is about 1.9 meters tall, has a silver-black metal skeleton, wears a straight dark green military uniform, and has blue light flashing in its eyes.

Because it was covered by clothes, Jiang Baimian couldn't tell what functional components it had or what weapon modules it was loaded with.

"Who are you?" the robot asked in a rich baritone voice.

Its voice has ups and downs and changes, much like humans, but it still has an obvious synthetic tone and no emotion.

"We are a team of relic hunters newly arrived in Tarnan, here to visit the mayor of Gnawa." Shang Jianyao imitated Jiang Baimian's usual tone and words and said with a smile.

The tall robot wearing a dark green military uniform nodded gently and said:

"I'm just, come in."

It immediately asked:

"Coffee or tea?

"They are all produced in the northern mountainous area of ​​the 'Linhai Alliance'."

"Coffee bar." Jiang Baimian thought that none of the members of the "Old Tune Group" except himself had ever tasted coffee, so he chose this drink with the idea of ​​narrowing his mind.

——In "Pangu Biology", employees may still be able to redeem some tea leaves at the end of the year and the beginning of the year. In the Red Stone Collection, although tea leaves are a commodity that can be exported and smuggled to forces such as "Future Intelligence", it is not It's too rare.

The intelligent robot Gnawa wearing a dark green military uniform moved out of the way and shouted into the house:

"Suzanne, prepare eight cups of coffee."

"Four cups are enough, they don't need it." Shang Jianyao said politely.

Gnawa looked at Jorgensen and the others with flashing blue eyes, and changed his words:

"Four cups!"

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen listened to their conversation. They had an inexplicable feeling that if Gnawa's face, neck, and hands were completely covered, there would be several human beings communicating in front of them.

This member of the "Mechanical Paradise", the mayor of Tarnan and the captain of the robot guard, behaves too much like a human being.

Is this the latest intelligent robot from "Mechanical Paradise"? The same thought emerged in the minds of Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen.

After entering the house, they walked into the living room and sat on the couch. Jorgensen and others stood behind.

Gennava sat on the single sofa, raised his right foot and placed it on his left thigh:

"What's the matter with you?"

Jiang Baimian started with small things first, pointed at Jorgensen and others and said:

"We encountered a group of bandits on the way to Tarnan and captured these prisoners, thinking of handing them over to you."

Gennava was not surprised and nodded:

"I will send someone to take them to prison later, and they will be tried again in a few days."

Hearing this, Jorgensen and others breathed a sigh of relief.

They knew that Tarnan's punishment for bandits would not be too strict, especially for those who had not committed a crime in the city. They would only have a sentence of one to two years and be forced to participate in some labor.

Although losing two years of freedom did make these bandits uncomfortable, and their wives didn't know if they would wait, it was at least much better than being killed directly or sold to the mining area. It was a result that they were quite satisfied with.

After communicating this matter, Jiang Baimian turned to say:

"A 'Higher Heartless One' appeared in the southwest area of ​​Chilar Mountain. Neither the caravan nor the ruin hunter team dared to take that road."

Gnawa moved his metal neck:

"I just learned about this in the evening, and I will send the guards to deal with it tomorrow.

"However, I still want to thank you for coming to inform me of this news."

While they were talking, a robot wearing a white dress came out carrying a tray.

It has a silver-white metal body, about 1.75 meters tall, with an old-world-style diamond necklace hanging around its neck, and its eyes are also shining with blue light.

There were five cups on the tray, exuding a strong aroma of coffee and a smell that was quite familiar to Jiang Baimian.

"Hello." The silver-white robot pretending to be a woman bent down and placed four cups of coffee in front of Shang Jianyao and others, and then pushed the remaining cup to Gnawa.

"This is my wife, Susanna." Gnawa introduced.

"Hello, Ms. Susanna." Shang Jianyao greeted politely.

Suzanne was very happy about this:

"You are such a polite young man."

Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen greeted each other and looked at Gennava as if nothing had happened.

They were curious about how this intelligent robot would drink coffee.

Gennava held up the cup with one hand, put another hand into his mouth, and turned a certain switch.

Then, it poured a little of the liquid into the cup.

Only then did Jiang Baimian realize that the liquid was much thicker than coffee.

Suddenly, she knew what the familiar smell mixed with the aroma of coffee was:

The smell of oil!

Gnawa seems to be drinking coffee, but is he actually lubricating himself and doing some maintenance? Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen both had indescribable weird feelings.

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong didn't have much reaction - they had seen Zen Master Jingfa pour lubricating oil into his body while preaching Buddhism.

At this time, the blue light in Gnawa's eyes flickered several times in a soothing manner.

It then sighed with emotion:

"It's so delicious."

"..." Jiang Baimian controlled the corners of his mouth, wordlessly picked up the coffee and took a sip.
