Nobody told me it's not a game

Chapter 8 I'm just a poor worm ruled by desire
The caravan set off without a word.

The route from Fengming City to Qushui Town has been escorted countless times by giant shields, so they are naturally familiar with it.

The journey was uneventful, with no twists and turns.

Captain Li of the caravan is not very capable, and he is in the third realm of talent in his forties.

However, he was quite experienced and successfully arrived at the scheduled location at dusk, and he was currently making arrangements to build a camp.

If there were no accidents, they would arrive in Qushui Town tomorrow afternoon.

Zuo Chang ate his dinner hastily, and squatted by the campfire to roast.

Do not know why……

He was a little apprehensive, as if something was going to happen.

Before departure, Xue Qiangwei clearly said that she arranged for a three-level spellcaster to escort her.

But until now, Zuo Chang has not seen this caster.

In terms of Xue Qiangwei's ability, it is impossible for her to fail in such a trivial matter.

There must be something wrong with that spell caster, not catching up.

"Ugh!"

Zuo Chang sighed quietly, a little helpless.

The spellcasters of the three realms are not strong even if they say they are strong.But in a dilapidated place like 96511, he still has little combat power, and standing by his side 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 was Captain Li, and the other couldn't see his face clearly.

It was a person covered under a black cloak, it should be a woman, neither fat nor thin, nor appearance.

Judging from her exposed red lips, this should be a very attractive woman.

Her lips were neither thick nor thin, they were clearly closed naturally, but there was a faint smile.The color on the lips is as bright as strawberries soaked in water. Even if you can't see more, these lips alone are enough to arouse the desire of others.

Unfortunately, the height is not high.

The appearance of the girl reaching Zuo Chang's chest is probably still in the growth stage.

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, and she felt a little cheerful in her ears: "You are the 'very important person' that the 'Chief' said, Zuo Chang?"

Oh!
coming?

Xue Qiangwei was Zuo Chang's "Chief of the Security Bureau" at the beginning, and at that time, everyone called her "Chief Qiangwei" when they met her.

The girl in front of her might be afraid of scaring Captain Li. After all, Xue Qiangwei is not an ordinary person, so she called her "Chief" cryptically.

Zuo Chang hurriedly said: "I am! The chief said that I will meet a spell caster in Fengming City? Is it you?"

"Yes yes, I got the telegram and she asked me to watch you."

She held out her hand in a friendly manner.

"Mr. Zuo Chang, you can call me Lizhi. I'm a scholar and I'm currently traveling in 96511. I hope to find proof that General Tianwang is still alive, Miss Lizhi!"

Lizhi's four nails are all painted with blue nail polish, but the middle finger is clean and spotless, and I don't know what's going on.

Zuo Chang held her weak and boneless little hand and said, "My name is Zuo Chang, nice to meet you."

Captain Li stood aside, watching 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, which may be very dangerous."

"???"

What, what's wrong?
All right, why fight?

Zuo Chang didn't know why, so he looked at the quiet night and the calm camp, and asked, "Fight?"

Captain Li nodded with a serious expression: "Yes. Fight. A group of thieves used the signboard of my giant shield to secretly hide three "valuable things" in the cargo. If there is no accident, we will go out soon. Surprised."

Zuo Chang remained calm and asked, "Is it Tie Dan?"

"!"

"!"

Both Li Zhi and Captain Li were taken aback, not understanding how Zuo Chang guessed it!
Li Zhi didn't hide her surprise, and asked, "How do you know? Are you an accomplice?! No... You were introduced by the chief, so you should be very reliable."

Zuo Chang shook his head: "Of course my origin is innocent, you don't have to doubt it. The reason why I can guess it is purely because the security at the gate of the city is too strict, and there is a mine of tens of billion tons beside Fengming City. It's hard not to make people wonder if the iron gall is missing."

what……

Li Zhi and Captain Li looked at each other, and they both felt that it made sense.

Zuo Chang asked back, "How do you know?"

Lizhi replied quickly: "I saw them when they secretly put iron gallbladders in."

"……what?"

"I saw it."

Lychee said it again.

Pointing to one of the trucks, she continued: "I was sitting in 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 Lizhi told me that I was worried that someone carrying contraband might affect the reputation of the giant shield escort, so I went to check it out. Then—"

He took out an iron box engraved with runes.

The box was opened, and there were three round silver-gray stones inside.

Under the light of the bonfire, the boulder exudes a warm luster——

It was not reflected fire, but gleaming silver.

These three round stones have their own precious light!

It is exactly the same as Li Hui in the game, it is really iron courage!
But what is this called?

The most brilliant way to solve a crime is not the perfect reasoning, but witnessing the scene of the crime directly, right?

Captain Li was a little hesitant, 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 can't be sure of its origin. If it is really the legendary iron gall, one It costs several million pieces!"

Zuo Chang looked calm: "This is the iron gall. It is shaped like a chicken egg, silver-gray in color, and the surface is extremely smooth. Even under the most brilliant microscopic magic, you can't see the slightest unevenness. Iron gall is the essence of iron, the top magic material, Adding one when building a weapon can increase the sharpness of the weapon to a higher level! A few million is actually a rush to sell, and it’s cheap to sell.”

A few million, or sell cheap?
This time...

I'm going to post it!

Captain Li looked devout, and stood silently.

After a while, he picked up an iron gall and handed it to Lizhi;

He picked up another iron gallbladder and handed it to Zuo Chang.

The last iron gall was put in his chest pocket: "Mr. Zuo, Ms. Lizhi, I have been working as a giant shield escort for ten years. I am dedicated to my work and do my best. Since I became the captain of the escort, I have been working from dawn to dusk. It's like walking on thin ice... But even so, the monthly commission is not counted, and the salary is only [-] to [-]..."

Zuo Chang looked up at him, holding iron guts in his hand: "What do you mean...?"

Captain Li looked up at the sky with a painful expression on his face: "I thought that with my professional ethics, I could refuse any temptation. Even if tens of millions of cash were piled up in front of me, I would not betray my integrity and make the shameful act of abandoning the mission." Behavior! But just now... as simple as that, my bottom line was broken."

"..."

"..."

Zuo Chang looked at Captain Li with a look of garbage.

Li Zhi's eyes were hidden under the hood, so she couldn't see her expression. Presumably, her appearance at the moment should be the same as Zuo Chang's.

Captain Li's dead fish eyes were gone, and his eyes were shining like a husky.

With a serious face on his face, he said again: "Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts. In the final analysis, I am just a poor worm who is played by desire. Mr. Zuo, Miss Lizhi, let's go now! It's good to go anywhere, the leader of this poor escort team More money, less risk, and running around in the wilderness all day long! I don’t want to do it anymore!”
