The caravan set out without talking all the way.
The giant shield escort had walked the route from Fengming City to Qushui Town countless times and was naturally familiar with it.
The journey was smooth and smooth, without any twists and turns.
Captain Li of the caravan is not very capable and is nearly forty years old.
However, he was quite experienced and successfully arrived at the predetermined location at dusk, and was currently setting up the camp.
If nothing else happens, they should arrive at Qushui Town tomorrow afternoon.
Zuo Chang had a hasty dinner and squatted by the campfire to cook.
Do not know why……
He felt a little uneasy, as if something was going to happen.
Before departure, Blood Rose clearly said that she had arranged for a third-level spellcaster to escort her.
But until now, Zuo Chang had not seen this spell caster.
With Blood Rose's ability, there is no way she can't handle this small thing.
There must be something wrong with the spellcaster and he didn't catch up.
"well!"
Zuo Chang sighed quietly, a little helpless.
The spell casters of the three realms are not strong at all. But in a run-down place like 96511, he still has a small fighting power, and standing next to him can give people a sense of security.
"Sir, your name is Zuo Chang, right?"
Captain Li's voice sounded in front of him.
Zuo Chang looked up and saw two people.
One of them is Captain Li, and the other person's face cannot be seen clearly.
It was a person covered by a black cloak. She should be a woman. She couldn't tell whether she was fat or thin, and her appearance couldn't be seen.
Judging from her exposed red lips, this must be a very attractive woman.
Her lips were neither thick nor thin, they were obviously just closed naturally, but there was a faint smile. The color on her lips is as bright as strawberries soaked in water. Even if you can't see more, these lips alone are enough to arouse others' desire.
It's a pity that he is not tall.
The girl looked like she was touching Zuo Chang's chest, so she might still be growing up.
Zuo Chang stood up and said, "I am."
This time, it was the cloaked man who spoke.
Her voice was clear and crisp, with a rising tone, which made her ears feel happy: "Are you the 'very important person' that the 'chief' said, Zuo Chang?"
oh!
coming?
Blood Rose was Zuo Chang's "Chief of the Security Bureau". At that time, others called her "Chief Rose" when they met her.
The girl in front of her might be afraid of scaring Captain Li. After all, Blood Rose is not an ordinary person, so she called her "Chief" in a subtle way.
Zuo Chang said hurriedly: "I am! The chief said that I will meet a spell caster in Fengming City? Is it you?"
"Yes, yes, I received the telegram and she asked me to help look after you."
She extended her palm in a friendly manner.
"Mr. Zuo Chang, you can call me Litchi. I am a scholar and am currently traveling in 96511. I hope to find proof that General Tianwang is still alive, Miss Litchi!"
All four of Lychee's nails were painted with blue nail polish, but only her middle finger was clean and spotless. She didn't know why.
Zuo Chang held her weak, boneless little hand and said, "My name is Zuo Chang. Nice to meet you."
Captain Li stood aside and watched silently.
He opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Zuo, it may be a bit sudden for me to say this... However, we are about to face a battle, and it may be very dangerous."
"???"
What, what happened?
All right, why fight?
Zuo Chang didn't know why. He looked at the quiet night and the calm camp and asked, "Fight?"
Captain Li nodded solemnly: "Yes. Fight. A group of thieves used my shield as a escort and secretly hid three 'precious objects' in the cargo for transportation. If nothing else happens, we will be out soon. It’s unexpected.”
Zuo Chang remained calm and asked, "Is it Tie Dan?"
"!"
"!"
Both Lychee and Captain Li were startled, wondering how Zuo Chang guessed it!
Lizhi did not hide her surprise and asked: "How do you know? Are you an accomplice?! That's not right... You were introduced by the chief, so you should be very reliable."
Zuo Chang shook his head: "Of course my background is innocent, you don't have to doubt it. The reason why you can guess it is purely because the security at the city gate is too tight, and there is a tens of billions of tons mine next to Fengming City. It’s hard not to wonder if the iron gall is missing.”
ah……
Lychee and Captain Li looked at each other and felt it made sense.
Zuo Chang asked: "How did you know?"
Lychee quickly answered: "I saw them secretly putting the iron gall in."
"……What?"
"I saw it."
Lychee said it again.
She pointed to one of the trucks and continued: "I was sitting on the carriage and saw someone holding a box and getting under the truck. When he came out again, the box in his hand suddenly disappeared."
Captain Li said: "Miss Litchi told me that I was worried that someone was carrying contraband, which might affect the reputation of Giant Shield Escort, so I went to check it out. Then——"
He took out an iron box engraved with runes and came out.
The box was opened, containing three round silver-gray stones.
Under the light of the bonfire, the round stone exudes a warm luster——
This was not reflected firelight, but sparkling silver light.
These three round stones carry their own precious light!
It’s exactly the same as the vertical painting in the game, it’s really brave!
But what is this?
The best way to solve a crime is not to use precise and exquisite reasoning, but to directly witness the crime scene, right?
Captain Li hesitated, and asked: "Mr. Zuo, you seem to know iron gall? This thing... is it really iron gall? I think it is very precious, but I am not sure of its origin. If it is really the legendary iron gall, One piece costs several million!”
Zuo Chang looked calm: "This is iron gall. It is shaped like a chicken egg, silver-gray in color, and has an extremely smooth surface. Even under the most powerful microscopic magic, no unevenness can be seen. Iron gall is the essence of iron, the top magic material. Adding one when making a weapon can increase the sharpness of the weapon to a new level! One costing millions is actually a rush to sell it, so it is sold cheaply."
Several million, or sell it cheap?
This time...
It’s really going to happen!
Captain Li looked pious and stood silently.
After a while, he picked up an iron gall and handed it to Lychee;
He picked up another iron gall and gave it to Zuo Chang.
The last iron gall was put into his chest pocket: "Mr. Zuo, Miss Litchi, I have been working as an escort for ten years. I am dedicated to my work and fulfill my duties. Since I became the escort captain, I have worked hard from dawn to dusk. It's like walking on thin ice... But even so, not counting commission every month, the salary is only 70,000 to 80,000 yuan..."
Zuo Chang looked up at him, holding the iron gall in his hand: "What do you mean...?"
Captain Li looked up at the sky with a sad face: "I thought that with my professional ethics, I could refuse any temptation. Even if tens of millions of cash were piled in front of me, I would not betray my integrity and do the shameful thing of giving up on the mission. Action! But just now...as simple as that, my bottom line was penetrated."
"..."
"..."
Zuo Chang looked at Captain Li like he was looking at garbage.
Lychee's eyes were hidden under the hood, and her expression could not be seen. Thinking about her appearance at this moment, she should be consistent with Zuo Chang.
Captain Li's dead eyes were gone, and his eyes were as bright as a husky's.
With a serious face on his face, he added: "Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts. In the final analysis, I am just a poor guy played by desire. Mr. Zuo, Miss Lychee, let's go now! It doesn't matter where we go. This is the captain of the escort team." It’s a lot of money but a lot of risk, running around in the wilderness all day long! I don’t want to do it a long time ago!”
