"Anyway, what are you doing here?"

The hangman raised a hand, palm facing Andy upwards.

"I just wanted to come and buy coolant... But now it seems that things will not be so simple. ”

Andy looked at the hangman indifferently, this hall was surrounded by people from the hangman, and the pomp was really big enough.

"I'd like to ask what will happen to my share?"

The hangman blinked, and a horse boy whispered a few words, and the horse boy immediately ran away, and it was not long before several men brought two large metal boxes.

He opened the box in front of Andy.

It's all bottle caps.

"10,000 bottle caps, converted at the current price in the wasteland, your original investment plus interest is worth this, this is the result I can give you, do you accept it?"

Andy looked at the glittering caps for a moment, then looked up and asked, "If I don't accept it, do you have a second plan?" ”

The hangman shook his head.

"I don't want you to choose option two, it won't look too good, will it?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally Andy took the two boxes away.

"Very good... I hope you're satisfied, after all, it's not the same anymore, and I can't carry on the promise made to you by Justin and Dave, but I have one more suggestion that maybe we can continue our relationship. ”

Andy wanted to stand up and turn his head to leave, but he sat down again.

"What advice?"

The hangman clapped his hands, and the two ponies removed a map-like object that was taped to the wall in the distance and brought it to Andy.

This map has two intersecting lines, one in the southeast-north-west direction and the other in the northeast-southwest direction, both lines run through multiple points, and the place where the two lines meet takes a huge point.

"As you can see, it's a map of the railroad lines from the old world, and the settlement is now on the most visible spot, and Dave had planned to fix at least one of the lines, but that plan was interrupted by Justin. Now, there is no shortage of goods in the city of hanging corpses, but there is a lack of channels to sell them. ”

The hangman stretched out his finger and moved northwest from the large point that symbolized the city of the hanged corpses.

"We've already dealt with a small part of this line, but more of it will take time... The railroad tracks were blown off when the group retreated, but under my command it won't be long before it will be repaired and used to reconnect with the settlements... But that might take some communication with that bunch. ”

The Pip-Boy shook.

[Description: Restore contact between the Hanging Corpse City and the northwestern settlements]

Andy watched it, but he didn't think he was interested.

"If you can help me do it, then I can give you dividends."

The hangman said.

"Ah, there's a chance.... Haven't you completely repaired the bombed-out railroad yet? ”

Andy turned around with two boxes of bottle caps and was about to leave, when the hangman suddenly called out to him.

"Wait!"

Andy looked back.

"I'll have someone bring you coolant, it's a small gift."

The hangman said unhurriedly, sitting on the ornate sofa.

"There's no need to leave in a hurry.... You could have stayed here for a few more days. ”

Andy snorted, and this time he didn't hesitate any longer, and left the hall with the bottle cap.

Not long after he went out, he directly put the box into the beep boy, and looked back at the multi-story building, Andy felt that his connection to this place had completely changed in nature.

Kuresu stood aside to sort out the weapons that had been sent back.

"Don't you look happy?"

Andy stared at the tall building, and his expression was indeed a little ugly.

"I don't know if what he's doing now is a good thing, but at least I'm sure the most important thing now is to prevent the plague from spreading, and everything else is secondary...... Think of me feeding the money to the dogs. ”

Kurisu put away all the knives and looked around, there was a deserted scene everywhere, and the occasional passer-by was silent, only the factories had a somewhat noisy feeling.

From time to time, there are members of the Gallows patrolling, who look very vigilant.

"To put it mildly, this is a slave camp, a slave camp for that man and his eagle dogs..... But I'm not surprised that he would do it. ”

Andy looked at Kurisu a little strangely.

"Where do you start?"

A passer-by was suddenly stopped and questioned by a hanging, and soon after that, he was beaten up for what he said.

Kurisu looked at that scene with a look of disgust on her face, as if it reminded her of something from the past.

"I've heard something from some people in Blackfoot Village.... I suspect that the guy who called himself the hangman was probably once a member of a legion, not even an ordinary member, he was once a centurion. ”

"What?"

Andy was surprised to learn the news.

"Are you sure?"

Kurisu nodded firmly.

“.... That disfigured guy is most likely the leader of the Legion warriors who arrived here in the first place, a guy who calls himself Curius, and who was even a member of Blackfoot Village... That man had taken a lot of Blackfoot warriors after helping Blackfoot defend himself against foreign enemies, including him, but he didn't call it the Legion-style name at the time. ”

Andy couldn't help but feel a little stunned when he recalled his weird behavior when he first walked with this guy.

"So how the hell did he get to where he is today?"

Kurisu sighed.

"Nobody knows, only some rumors.... A year ago, the Bulls suffered heavy losses in a decisive battle with the Two-Headed Bear, and although they were victorious, they quickly withdrew from here to their own territory, ending the war that had lasted for several years..."

Kurisu paused to gather his thoughts.

"The Legion was first four years old, and they were probably close to two hundred men, and at that time the Blackfoot tribe was still headed by Ramon, who allowed them to be supplied in the village because of their past origins.... The leader of the group of legionnaires was two men, both of whom seemed to be centurions, except for one man in a leading position, who always wore a metal helmet that completely covered his face. ”

"At first, they just went around attacking other small tribes to capture slaves, but gradually they began to go too far, and even began to demand that Blackfoot be completely incorporated into them.... Ramon was in a dilemma, but fortunately the centurion turned his attention to the battle with the Two-Headed Bear, and after a long battle, the Two-Headed Bear finally lost their fortress, but the Legion suffered heavy losses. ”

"I've only heard that the Legion's garrison seemed to have become empty overnight, and it is rumored that Caesar's messenger, dissatisfied with the outcome of the battle, had another centurion take over from Culius and sentenced him to be hanged... But his body was never found after the legion left, and some said he was definitely alive. ”

Kurisu looked at Andy and said slowly.

"It's just speculation."
