Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

wow...

Li Yunlong asked, "What do you want to do?"

Cao Geng said: "Literally, if I take back the treasure, can you ensure that it is not handed over and used directly to purchase the artifact?"

"Hiss...this question."

Li Yunlong found it quite tricky.

This brat is so cunning, he is obviously trying to tempt me to break my knight's oath!

Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and said, "What should we do if others find out?"

Cao Geng replied: "Even if the heaven knows, what's the harm? You used it to buy the artifact, not to embezzle it. Captain, are you afraid of the wrath of the heaven?"

Li Yunlong immediately opened his eyes and said, "What are you talking about, you little brat? How could I, Li Yunlong, be afraid? I am a warrior of the Son of the Dragon God!"

Cao Geng said: "It's good that you are not afraid. Now, we have a deal. You help me cover up a little bit, and I will set out now to find the lost star fragments."

Li Yunlong was startled: "What do you mean?"

Cao Geng said, "Let's go immediately! Otherwise, I will be unable to escape and will be sent to the Alchemist Guild without a doubt."

"You little brat, are you going to disobey orders again?"

Cao Geng said unhappily, "You don't want the artifact anymore? Without it, how can we fight the demons?"

wow...

This sentence is too deadly.

Li Yunlong was speechless for a moment.

He knew very well that if the entire legion was equipped with this artifact, he could lead his troops to the Eternal City at any time.

Li Yunlong said: "How about we defeat the demon advance team before taking action?"

Cao Geng said, "It's okay. The evil spirit army hasn't arrived yet. This battle will take at least seven or eight days to start. I will go quickly and come back quickly, at least three days. Besides, your battle has little to do with me."

Indeed, the top leaders would never allow Cao Geng to fight in this battle, and it was expected that Cao Geng would be sent away tomorrow.

Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and said, "Brat, will this trip be dangerous?"

Cao Geng glanced at him and said, "We have been apart for more than a year. Have we become distant? I can thrive in the city of heaven, so how can these mortal places hold me back?"

Li Yunlong thought for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead! Where are you going?"

Cao Gengyan said, "Let's go to the Phantom Forest! It's a place we've never been to before, so there must be many rare treasures there."

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "How do we get there?"

Cao Geng said, "Please ask the monk to go to my residence. There is a magic package with what I need in it. Please ask him to bring it to me."

"Ok."

Li Yunlong poked his head out like a thief and whispered, "Monk, monk, please come over here."

Soon, the monk took Cao Geng's magic package.

Li Yunlong stared at Cao Geng with sharp eyes, wondering if there was some treasure hidden in the package.

Unexpectedly, Cao Geng took out a deformation mirror, and then took out various magic potions to start dressing himself up.

what……

Is this guy a master of disguise?

Li Yunlong's eyes almost popped out.

"Boy, what are you doing?"

Cao Geng glanced at him and replied, "Disguise. I already have a good reputation among the enemy. If I don't cover up a little, how can I hide it from them?"

"I'm telling you, I'll be leaving on a flying horse in a little while. If the brigade commander asks, just say I sent them out to complete a secret mission. By the way, have the monk notify Yang Pengxiang, Huang Guilong, Tang Long, Zheng Xiong, Cao Muyan, Zhang Ming, and Wan Chunlang to come."

Li Yunlong opened his eyes wide and asked, "Why?"

While getting dressed, Cao Geng replied, "Let them come because we need their assistance. They are the best warriors on this continent. With them, my mission will be much smoother."

Li Yunlong felt like risking his life, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

After saying this, he leaned forward again and called out to the monk.

Half an hour later, a camouflaged airship slowly took off and left the mysterious Cloudtop City.

Not long after the airship left, Lu Zhaowu hurried over.

"General Li, where is Cao Geng? Our brigade commander is looking for him."

Humph……

Li Yunlong's eyes flashed with a deep light, and he said in a deep voice: "Respected Brigade Commander, I have sent Cao Geng on a secret journey to find the ancient treasure. I am afraid he will not be able to return until dawn."

"How ridiculous!"

Lu Zhaowu's expression suddenly changed. "General Yunlong, how can you be so reckless? This move will surely bring disaster."

Li Yunlong pretended to be confused and said slowly: "This is common sense. As a general, it is my duty to order my subordinates to complete their mission."

"oops……"

Lu Zhaowu was extremely anxious, and realized that arguing was useless. He turned around and disappeared behind the gate of the castle.

After a moment, Lu Zhaowu appeared again.

"General Yunlong, the brigade commander wants to see you."

Li Yunlong knew what was going on and quickly headed towards the mysterious meeting hall.

"Brigade Commander, you are summoning."

As he entered the hall, the brigade commander's eyes burned like flames.

"Li Yunlong, do you have ulterior motives? Why did you send Cao Geng deep into the Netherworld Forest?"

Li Yunlong responded calmly, "Since he is proficient in the language of the underworld, I have ordered him to explore the ancient city of Anhua and search for the legendary treasure."

"Ancient City of Anhua? Li Yunlong, are you deliberately challenging fate?"

The brigade commander was almost choked with anger.

Li Yunlong looked at him innocently, "Brigade Commander, why not?"

The brigade commander pointed at him angrily, his words almost choking.

"This is simply a mad act! Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, if I had known that you were so audacious, I would have died long ago."

Having only Li Yunlong is troublesome enough, let alone complementing each other with Cao Geng. This pairing is simply a disaster.

Indeed, the brigade commander was helpless against Li Yunlong.

Cao Geng is a brave general under your command and is entrusted with important tasks. What crime has he committed?

The brigade commander asked sternly, "Just now, Deputy Commander Zhou sent a secret letter, ordering Cao Geng to be recalled to the weapon forging workshop immediately. He has already left, how can you expect me to report to him? Tell me!"

Li Yunlong smiled inwardly: Cao Geng, ah Cao Geng, your ability to predict the future is really amazing! The calculations are so accurate.

Li Yunlong chuckled: "Commander, it was just a coincidence. If I had known this earlier, I would never have let him leave the team."

Brigade Commander Chen shouted angrily: "Get out! Quickly lead the warriors to reinforce the illusion shield and stop getting in the way here."

"As ordered."

Li Yunlong stood up and saluted.

Immediately, he turned around and rushed away like the wind.

The brigade commander was left alone, his face clenched with fists in anger and a sullen look on his face.

"These two are unruly and unruly, and their actions together have caused endless harm."

At this moment, Cao Geng was sitting on the speeding chariot with a smile on his face.

Finally, I have the chance to embark on the journey of conquering the devil.

If you want to go out and fight, you need to be eloquent, which is not easy.

The fat man rode the Pegasus and said joyfully: "Little mouse, I thought there was no hope for me to fight alongside you in the future!"

Cao Geng said proudly: "Nonsense, no one can stop me wherever I want to go!"

The fat man laughed and said, "You boastful braggart! After we return, if we can still travel freely, I will take your last name."

Cao Geng said, "I'll take your surname. I'll take your surname. Our surnames are from the same root five hundred years ago. Did you know that?"

The fat man's eyes lit up: "Is this true?"

Cao Geng explained, "Of course. Five hundred years ago, in the ancient era, our family accidentally angered the gods and faced the disaster of extermination. At that time, our ancestor had three sons, so he asked them to change their surnames to Huang, Cao, and Huang respectively, and flee their homeland and hide in the dark forest to avoid God's punishment. Therefore, all future generations know that these three surnames are actually one family. Do you understand?"

"Is it true? Why have I never heard of it?" The fat man looked confused.

Cao Geng said, "I always told you to read more ancient books, but you refused to believe them. Do you regret it now? You even forgot the legends of your ancestors."

The fat man suddenly frowned: "Not good, little mouse, there is an evil spirit ahead, it's an evil spirit level."

Cao Geng looked up and saw only a small checkpoint in the darkness. There were only a dozen evil spirits and twenty to thirty fallen ones.

So he said, "Don't be afraid, just follow the original plan."

That’s right, they are all wearing black robes of evil spirits and are familiar with the secret language of evil spirits. What is there to be afraid of?

Soon, their carriage was stopped at the checkpoint.

The fat man saw that the person walking towards him was an ordinary evil spirit guard.

He stuck his head out and shouted, "Evil spirit, why are you blocking us? Remove the obstacles quickly. We have a holy duty and an urgent mission."

When the evil spirit guard saw that the fat man was a high-level wizard, he was immediately in awe.

Even the driver is a high-level wizard, what is the origin of this group of people?

The evil spirit stepped forward and said weakly, "Senior Mage, please don't embarrass me. It is a routine inspection according to the rules."

When the fat man heard this, he didn't know whether he was really angry or just pretending, he suddenly opened the car door and jumped out.

He stretched out his hand and threw a fireball at him: "You ignorant fellow, check your head. I am so noble, how can a mere guard like you check it? I order you to remove the roadblock. We have a heavy responsibility."

hiss……

All the evil spirits and fallen beings were stunned.

What's happening here?

How could they know that the fat man's hands had been itching for a long time.

He took great pains to learn the common language, and this time he came here, he had already decided to try his hand.

The highest-ranking officer at this evil spirit checkpoint is just a small captain, which is equivalent to our knight.

As for the squad leader, well, he's just a low-ranking noble, not much higher than the fat guy.

The evil spirit captain ran over and asked, "Master Mage, what happened?"

The fat man didn't care about anything and just cast a fireball.

"You ignorant fellow, I ordered you to remove the roadblock. We have a heavy responsibility. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

hiss……

Cao Geng was stunned.

This fat guy, why does he hit everyone he sees? That person is a low-ranking noble, one level higher than you, and he is also an official, how can you just hit him?

Sure enough, the evil spirits and fallen ones all raised their staffs.

The evil spirit captain was furious. You are a wizard, and you slap me, a low-level noble, in front of so many of your men. Don’t I have any dignity?

hiss……

The fat man was stunned.

Didn't Cao Geng always slap evil spirits in the face when he saw them before? Why did I get into trouble as soon as I took action?

At the back of the car, Tang Long and others also hurriedly jumped out of the car, raised their staffs, and confronted the evil spirits.

Cao Geng shouted quickly, "Stop it all!"

Then he jumped out of the car quickly.

When the evil spirits saw that this man seemed to have a more powerful aura, they put away their staffs and showed respect.

Oh, under the starry sky! Is there a mid-level magician in the car?

The demons took a closer look.

Oh, under the stars.

There is also a beginner magician hiding here!

Well, Tang Long was wearing the robe of a beginner magician.

Cao Geng walked over and shouted in demon language: "What are you making a fuss about? Put away your wands, do you still have any respect for the law?"

The demons immediately admitted their mistakes and hurriedly put down their wands.

Tang Long stepped forward and hit the demon captain in the face with a fireball.

"You ignorant ant, a mere captain, dare you wave your magic wand in front of me? Do you believe that I can burn you to death with one wand?"

"what!"

The demon captain covered his face with his hands, feeling extremely frightened.

Where do these guys come from?

Cao Geng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't embarrass him. Captain, we are from the Mystic Society, please remove the roadblocks immediately! We have important matters to attend to. We have received intelligence that Cao Geng will arrive soon. We must inform Lord Song as soon as possible."

Lord Song is the military governor of Anhua City.

"what?"

When the devil captain heard that Cao Geng was coming, he was horrified and dared not to fight the fat man anymore.

Immediately shouted loudly: "Remove the roadblocks quickly, act quickly."

Cao Geng looked at the team leader and said, "The identities of our mysterious society must be kept secret and not be easily disclosed. You must understand this."

The team leader repeatedly said yes, bowed and said: "I know, I know..."

Cao Geng and others jumped on their mounts, the fat man whipped the carriage, and it galloped like the wind.

The fat man asked in confusion, "Mouse, why are you so weird? I used to see you slap those demons with great pleasure, but why can't you do it when I slap you?"

Cao Geng said unhappily, "You are stupid. You should pay attention to the other party's medals. Their medals are higher than yours. If you slap them, aren't you asking for trouble? It's okay for me to slap you, a fat man. How dare you, a fat man, offend my majesty? Do you understand?"

The fat man nodded in agreement: "I understand this, but how do you identify the medal? I feel that the person just now is not as high-ranking as me!"

Cao Geng was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry!

"You can't even recognize the medal, yet you dare to teach others casually. It's a miracle that you can still live to this day! Well, I will let Cao Shangtian teach you how to recognize it, so that you won't accidentally lose your life one day."

The carriage continued to move forward, and halfway through, a demon checkpoint appeared again in front of it.

Unfortunately, these demons rely on these checkpoints to control the territories they occupy.

The carriage was stopped again.

A demon general approached. This general was quick-witted and sharp-witted. He first observed the driver and realized that there was a mid-level warrior sitting in the car.

Then he said respectfully: "Sir, according to the law, please accept our interrogation."

The fat man stuck his head out and asked, "What level of medal do you have?"

Oh……

Cao Geng was shocked.

He immediately pulled him back and said to the demon general, "Sir Centurion, please check."

"Hi……"

The demon centurion immediately saluted Cao Geng in the car.

Afterwards, he led his men to the rear of the carriage to conduct an inspection.

The fat man asked in a low and honest voice: "What happened, Mouse? Does this guy have a higher power than me?"

Cao Geng was filled with helplessness! He really didn't understand how this guy had survived in this world full of magic and monsters all these years.
