She looked at the 140 HP that was already full, and estimated that there should be some kind of health regeneration mechanism in the system, which could be triggered by sleeping.

Seeing that the panel couldn't analyze anything, Jiang Jiu didn't decide to go downstairs, follow the task, and explore what happened downstairs.

As soon as the void slid to close the panel, she took out the shotgun under her pillow, examined the three bullets inside, and put the remaining four bullets close to her, leaned down to throw away the intact branches, and walked back to the main hall along the path of memory.

As the footsteps progressed, the noise became more obvious, and Jiang Jiuwei listened to it as if the two sides had a confrontation over some kind of issue, and turned a corner, and the situation in front of him became clearer.

Charlie held a cigarette in his hand, the corner of which was a little yellowish, but he didn't light it, and just sat behind the bar, looking at the room of people standing in front of him.

Jiang Jiu didn't turn his head, most of the people standing on the left side of the house were wearing some standard clothes and similar weapon styles, while the ones on the right side looked like some idlers and so on, with various weapons. She saw that there were also people with knots directly in their hands, and some strange runes were engraved on them.

Although the scene was noisy, it was surprising that the whole audience turned their attention to Jiang Jiuwei. Charlie glanced sideways, then smiled, and jokingly:

"Our little lazy cat is up?"

Jiang Jiu didn't rush to answer, but just swept around lightly, held the shotgun with both hands and made a weighing motion, and said in a cold voice:

"If I don't get up again, won't I see some of the people here?"

Charlie grinned, his voice was rude and hoarse, did not answer her question, turned to look at the people in front of him, and said:

"How many years have you been in the wilderness? No one is a little girl yet, calm down, sit down, sit down, and have a good chat. Let's talk about it or not, huh? ”

In this tense situation, Charlie's laughter seemed reckless and funny, but there was a strange flatness in his tone, and the scene was faintly suppressed.

Jiang Jiuwei narrowed his eyes slightly, and he couldn't see through the identity of the tavern owner. If you don't understand the source of his confidence, you don't dare to act rashly.

She tilted her head to the side, looked at the still silent crowd, raised her voice slightly, and said:

"I want an explanation."

"You killed Chris?"

The man who was originally guarding the gate also walked to the main hall, looked at Jiang Jiuwei condescendingly, and asked in a cold voice.

Jiang Jiuwei turned his body sideways, leaned down slightly towards him, his hands tightened slightly, and with apologies, he continued:

"The situation is urgent, and it has to be done as a last resort."

["Iron Wall" John's Opinion +1, currently -89]

The middle-aged man didn't seem to expect her to explain, his heavy eyebrows raised, his breath was sluggish, but he didn't have a seizure, but he just said in a deep voice:

"Chris is a good guy."

Jiang Jiuwei lowered his head, remembering what Charlie said about Chris and two children, his eyes flickered a few times, and he said softly:

"I'm sorry."

["Iron Wall" John's Opinion +15, currently -75]

Seeing her such a soft attitude, John's anger in his heart calmed down a little, looked at the little girl in front of him who was still wearing a bloody robe, believed a little what she said, muttered for a while, and then said:

"New here, huh? We're debating whether or not to go to a nearby bunker, and some people feel that they don't need to ...... if they have enough supplies."

John's brow furrowed as he said this, he glanced at the uniformed members who were standing neatly on one side, suppressed his voice, and continued:

"There are still people who want to look somewhere, looking for the remains of wizards."

After he finished speaking, he turned around neatly, but paused again, and left a sentence in a depressed tone:

"I've given you your explanation, and when this is over, I want an explanation from you."

Jiang Jiuwei looked at the tall back of the "iron wall" departing in front of him, and lowered his head thoughtfully. His biggest disadvantage is his lack of physical strength, and he has no good way to fight in close quarters. If you can find a reliable companion, the trip will undoubtedly be much safer.

Judging from this exchange, the "iron wall" in front of him seems to be a rare good teammate, should you take a look?

Charlie took in the exchange between the two, then took a sip of the cup in his left hand, smacked his lips, knocked on the table, and said:

"Come to think of it, the wizard ruins are certainly dangerous, but this trip may not have been without unimaginable gains, right?"

"I don't agree."

The young man standing at the front of the crowd in standard clothing stepped forward, he looked around, and said in a sonorous tone:

"It takes two days to get there, and you don't have to stop for long to get there, how can you bring enough oil? I don't want to die in the forest like the brute on the other side. ”

The sloppy man holding the rune bone stick on the opposite side stood up, raised the bone stick high in his right hand, and the black lines on it surged, and scolded:

"You're a brute! Ignorant heretics, the treasure of the wizard contains the infinite magic of the world, what is the mere fire oil? ”

"In short, I don't want to die, let alone this senseless death."

"You..."

"Duck, don't get excited, we're discussing."

Seeing that the man with a bone stick was about to provoke trouble again, Charlie hurriedly opened his mouth to reconcile, and knocked on the table with his hand holding a cigarette by the way, and said with a cryptic expression:

"And this is my place, keep my hands and feet clean."

The man with the bone stick looked dissatisfied, but he only sighed, put down the weapon in his hand, and turned back to the queue.

"I agree to go to the ruins."

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Jiang Jiuwei, who suddenly spoke. Jiang Jiuwei looked calm, pointed to the ground with his finger, and then said:

"It's better than wasting your life here."

[Charlie Opinion -5, -50 current]

["Bone Soul" Dark's Opinion +10, Current +20]

["Scout Captain" William's friendship -10, current -10]

Ignoring the grateful gaze cast by Dark, Jiang Jiu did not come into the queue of the disheveled side, stroked the body of the gun, and set his eyes on the opposite Captain William.

William frowned slightly, looking at Jiang Jiuwei's eyes coldly, but he never said a word, as if he was expressing his attitude with silence.

[Player Jiang Jiu did not trigger the side quest: Priest's Dungeon]

[Contents: There seems to be a mystery hidden in the ruins not far away.] You're not a fan of wizards, but the unknown itself represents temptation. 】

[Goal: Go to the bunker]

Jiang Jiuwei glanced at the two tasks in the task list, wondering what trouble Charlie wanted to solve for himself, and on the surface, he was silent, just glanced sideways at Charlie.

Charlie was still grinning, seemingly nonchalantly smoking the cigarette in his hand. The waitress on the side saw her gaze, leaned over her, and the fingers of her right hand attached to her lower abdomen moved, signaling Jiang Jiu to come to the side for a private chat.

Jiang Jiuwei glanced around, and the group led by Duck stared at the uniformed soldiers on the opposite side with hatred, but no one paid attention to their situation, so they shrank back, let the people behind them make a gap, and walked into the private room on the side with the waiter.

Charlie sat in the middle of the room, pointed to the empty seat across the table, and motioned for her to take a seat, still turning a glass of drink in his hand, taking a sip from time to time.

Seeing this, the waiter left Jiang Jiuwei's side, picked up the wine bottle on the cabinet next to him, and poured the wine for Charlie, his face still being almost dead calm.

"Tell me, little beauty, what do you want to go out for?"

Jiang Jiu did not raise his eyebrows, moved his lips with dissatisfaction, and said:

"I'm the one who should ask the question now. Boss Charlie, what do you want to hire me out for? ”

Charlie narrowed his eyes, a smile on his face, and said with a big grin:

"Happy. Little beauty, I want you to kill Duck. Is there any interest in this deal? ”

Jiang Jiuwei didn't expect his commission to be so direct, frowned, and just wanted to answer, he heard Charlie say again:

"Of course, that's just part of the business. I want him to die a reasonable death, preferably on the road......"

【Unlocked Quest Route】

[Note that the player's next choices will greatly affect the development of the story]

"Okay."

[Target Update: Kill Dark, Bone Soul]

Jiang Jiuwei answered very happily, and the expression on her face was also very calm, which surprised Charlie a little, and then she opened her mouth and added:

"But you've got to pay me enough."

"Of course."

Charlie put down the cup in his hand, turned around, looked up and waved to the waitress. The girl took out a box from the cabinet as if she understood it, picked it up neatly, and placed it firmly in front of Jiang Jiuwei.

The chest was easily opened, and inside were boxes full of metal coins.

[Current world currency to point exchange ratio: 10:1]

Charlie seemed to be observing Jiang Jiuwei's expression, but seeing that she was indifferent, he also put away his thoughts and patiently explained:

"There are 6,000 witches in the box, and when the deed is done, I will give you another 4,000 witches. This money is enough for you to be stable for a long time. ”

Jiang Jiu bowed his head slightly, as if he was considering. Seeing this, Charlie leaned back in his chair and said with a smile:

"It's not easy for a little girl to wander alone, right? After a few days of peace, why treat yourself harshly. ”

"Deal."

She agreed, put the wooden box back on the cover, lifted the handle with her hand, turned her head to look at Charlie, and said vaguely:

"The good news will come with the wind."

Charlie's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were inexplicably hot. He took another sip of his drink and replied:

"I'm waiting for this gust of wind."
