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

Zhou Xueman rushed into the room at lightning speed, like a cat smelling its prey.

Seeing the expressions of the three people, I immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

She asked nervously, "What's the verdict?"

The general and the wizard mentor were speechless, their eyes both turned to the deputy legion commander.

The deputy commander sighed and said, "Xiao Man, go ask him what else he wants to eat? Cook him another elaborate meal!"

"what?"

Zhou Xueman's steps staggered, and she almost collapsed to the ground...

Fortunately, mentor Sarel was nearby and immediately rushed over to steady her as she was about to fall.

"Zoya, you have to be strong."

Zoya Sherman nodded slightly, tears falling like raindrops.

Then, she lowered her head and walked out of the magic circle.

At this moment, Brigade Commander Al had just walked out of the teleportation array and led Di Pan to follow quickly.

The brigade commander was also familiar with Zoya Sherman.

As soon as he saw her, he immediately asked, "Zoya, what's the result?"

Zoya didn't even look at him, her tears kept flowing, and she just kept moving forward.

The Brigadier General glanced at Dipan, bewildered.

What does this reaction mean?

Deep inside the prison, Colan was still immersed in his dream.

However, he had been asleep for several days and the appeal of the dream was gradually fading.

Well, dreams become interesting only when Sister Zoya arrives. Judging from the time, she should be here soon.

Soon, Coran opened his eyes and sat up suddenly.

The person who came into view was his sister Zoya.

Huh?

The deputy commander, division commander, and brigade commander are all here?

Colan was speechless.

What's going on? Isn't this disturbing my meeting with the girl of my dreams? Are you so keen on being a light bulb?

Speaking of which, you old guys, your combined age is hundreds of years old, so why don’t you understand the minds of young people?

Seeing these guys coming with Zoya, Kolan was quite unhappy.

"Hey hey... Deputy Commander, Division Commander, Brigade Commander, why are you here too?"

The three of them said nothing.

As usual, Zoya instructed that the cell door be opened and the delicious food be brought in.

She smiled sweetly as always: "Handsome wizard, try these foods!"

Kelan ignored her and looked directly at the three people outside. Why is this atmosphere so weird?

"Three guardians, what's wrong with you? Do you want to come in and taste it together?"

The brigade commander said in a bad tone: "Boy, we don't like prison food, so you should enjoy it yourself!"

"Uh-huh!"

Coran picked up the cutlery and began to eat.

But the wide eyes of the three guardians staring at him made him unable to swallow.

"I say, three guardians, if you have something to say, just say it. Stop looking at me like that, okay? How can I eat like that?"

The brigade commander said, "Let's talk after we finish eating. We are waiting for you."

"Ok!"

Colan was helpless!

The only one who could eat under the scrutiny of three pairs of eyes was probably Colan.

He took a few bites, then suddenly put down the bowl and suggested, "You guys talk first, and I'll eat after you finish."

The three guardians were speechless.

We said, can you still eat it?

The brigade commander said, "Let's eat first, then we can talk about things."

Kelan retorted: "Let's talk about things first and then eat, otherwise I can't eat."

The brigade commander ordered: "Just eat when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up."

"Ok!"

Kelan picked up the bowl again and continued eating.

Zoya picked up a leg of the magic roasted chicken and put it in his bowl.

"Thank you, Sister Zoya. Come, Sister Zoya, you can eat too. There's no need to be picky. After all, this is prison food! You can't eat something this delicious outside."

Zoya replied, "You eat, I won't eat anymore, I've already eaten. Eat more."

In the mysterious continent of Azreal, Cao Geng tasted the strange magical food while saying to Zhou Xueman: "Sister Xueman, why have you become so mysterious? Everyone is acting so weird today. Oh, could it be..."

Suddenly, Cao Geng understood what he meant and looked at Brigade Commander Chen. Brigade Commander Chen avoided his gaze and looked uneasy.

Cao Geng turned to the two guardians again, and they hurriedly looked away. Cao Geng's wisdom was not to be deceived, he had already guessed about 70% of it.

He smiled and stopped asking questions, instead enjoying the food even more, which puzzled the three guardians. He seemed to understand everything, but acted calmly.

Well, no wonder this boy got the title of "Innocent" in the Brave Corps. Facing such a situation, he can still smile so calmly.

Zhou Xueman held back her tears and nodded silently. Today, she chose to obey.

Cao Geng smiled and said, "Then it's settled. We can't go back on our word!"

Zhou Xueman still nodded, speechless.

The three guardians looked helpless. What time and place was this, and why was he still talking about this?

Seeing that Zhou Xueman agreed, Cao Geng enjoyed his meal even more.

Soon, his magic belly bag became round and bulging.

Cao Geng put down his cutlery, patted his abdomen, and said, "Guardians, don't you have something important to do? Tell me, I'm ready."

Hearing this, the three guardians looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Finally, the deputy commander broke the silence: "Cao Geng, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Tell me, and I will help you achieve them as long as I can."

Cao Geng smiled and said, "Guardian, I have so many wishes. I want to make a magical potion 'Penicillin' for our light army. By the way, I can also make sophisticated magic machines. I wonder if the guardian can lend me a hand? Also, Sister Sherman has to be my assistant, hehe..."

"what?"

The three guardians and Zhou Xueman were all shocked.

They are not ignorant people, how could they not know the value of these two items?

The deputy commander couldn't believe what he heard and asked again: "What did you say? Say it again."

Cao Geng replied: "I want to make penicillin. Can the guardian provide the conditions? By the way, Sister Xueman has to come and help me deal with the affairs. Hehe..."

"Really? Are you sure?" The deputy commander's voice trembled.

Cao Geng said firmly: "I never lie about such things. If you don't believe me, you can ask the brigade commander."

“Okay, okay…hahaha…”

The deputy commander instantly felt a sense of pride and joy: "Commander, follow me. I want to see what else Lao Zhou has to say this time."

With that, the deputy commander led the division commander away, his steps firm, for he was no longer a requester.

Yes, he was eager to witness the deputy director's failure.

The deputy commander and the division commander left, but the brigade commander did not leave. He suddenly broke into the cell and gently tapped Cao Geng on the back of his head...

"Boy, you almost scared me to death. If you have such ability, why didn't you tell me earlier? Fortunately, I have a strong heart, otherwise I would have died of fear from you."

Zhou Xueman looked at Cao Geng with amazement in her eyes, "Handsome young man, can you really forge a magic antibiotic - penicillin?"

Cao Geng replied: "That's natural."

Zhou Xueman immediately responded with a reproachful look on her face: "Then why didn't you mention it yet?"

Her expression was exactly the same as that of the brigade commander, full of anger.

You kid, you have a way to protect yourself but you kept it secret from us, making us anxious for many days in vain.

Cao Geng responded innocently: "Sister Xueman, isn't that right? I told you from the beginning that I have a way to save myself. Why don't you believe me?"

Zhou Xueman was speechless.

Cao Geng did say this.

The deputy commander, accompanied by the division commander, walked into the deputy director's magic study with a haughty manner.

Standing in front of the deputy director, he was stunned.

The deputy director raised his eyes and asked, "What do you two need?"

The deputy commander replied: "Cao Geng cannot be killed."

The deputy director said: "I don't want to either, but this is decided by the higher-ups. It won't help if you come to me now."

The deputy commander said, "I have already asked him in prison. He said he can make the medicine penicillin and build magic machinery."

"Gah..."

The deputy director's mouth opened wide instantly: "Really?"

The deputy commander said: "Although this boy is sometimes reckless, he never deceives when it comes to important matters."

"Oh my God! How is this possible?" said the deputy director in disbelief.

The deputy commander said, "I also find it incredible, but think about it, what has this kid done that is consistent with our expectations?"

The deputy director could no longer sit still, so he stood up suddenly and ran straight to the prison.

The deputy commander-in-chief and the division commander looked at each other and smiled, overjoyed.

"Hehe, this time, it should be Old Zhou who is anxious."

The deputy director rushed into the prison and came to Cao Geng's cell.

The brigade commander and Zhou Xueman seemed transparent, his eyes were only fixed on Cao Geng, eager and anxious.

"Cao Geng, can you really make penicillin?"

Cao Geng said: "Commander, aren't you going to send me to the guillotine?"

The deputy director was furious: "I asked you if I could? This is extremely important. It is extremely important."

Cao Geng said: "Didn't you say that merits and demerits are clearly distinguished, and merits cannot outweigh demerits? If you wait until I am perfect and then arrest me to execute me, I will not agree. I am not stupid."

The brigade commander stood aside, full of resentment. This kid was too arrogant, and he didn't even look at who his opponent was. He couldn't help but secretly kicked Cao Geng in the buttocks.

Cao Geng turned his head and looked at the brigade commander, saying, "Commander-in-chief, don't joke around. Business is more important!"

The brigade commander was so angry that he almost strangled him.

The deputy director was so angry that he laughed: "Boy, are you still holding a grudge? Quickly pack your things and get out of here."

The brigade commander secretly poked Cao Geng in the waist.

Cao Geng quickly stood at attention and replied, "Yes, Commander."

Cao Geng then led Zhou Xueman and the brigade commander out of the prison, and excitedly followed the deputy director...

The brigade commander held Cao Geng and said in a low and mysterious voice: "Boy, don't get carried away. You are my savior. Do you understand?"

Cao Geng was speechless.

Soon, they arrived at the deputy lord's study.

The deputy lord sat in the high seat and said, "Everyone, sit down."

The deputy commander, the division commander, the brigade commander and Zhou Xueman, six people sat around the four-corner magic table.

The deputy lord asked: "Cao Geng, is it easy to extract penicillin? Does our Eight Desolate Army have this capability?"

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Cao Geng, fearing that he would not be able to complete his answer.

After all, this medicine is extremely precious to the Eight Desolate Army. With it, many wounded soldiers can save their lives.

Therefore, it was enough to offset all of Cao Geng's faults.

Cao Geng nodded and said, "Penicillin, also known as Qingshuangling, is simply a substance extracted from a kind of dark mold. Once you master the method, it is not difficult to make.

All it takes is a few pottery jars and a simple refining room to cultivate it. The laboratory at Luyang Demon Realm Hospital has such conditions."

"Great."

The deputy lord said: "Go and prepare it quickly. As long as you can get it, I will apply to my superiors to absolve you of all charges."

Cao Geng was stunned and asked, "So I am still carrying the blame?"

The deputy lord replied as a matter of course: "Of course."

Cao Geng said: "Since he is a guilty person, should my position as battalion commander also be stripped?"

The brigade commander interrupted without hesitation: "Boy, don't dream. Deputy Lord, you must not let this boy deceive you. He is good in everything else, but he is lazy and doesn't want to be an official."

The deputy lord smiled and said, "Boy, the position of battalion commander is not decided by me. It is decided by the deputy commander. If you really don't want to do it, you should go to him. It's useless to go to me."

Cao Geng was speechless and glared at the brigade commander. This guy always liked to undermine him.

Cao Geng said, "Since it's useless to ask you, I'll tell you something useful. I want to ask Comrade Zhou Xueman to be my assistant. Is that okay?"

Zhou Xueman was anxious when she heard this: "Cao Geng, can I help with such advanced things?"

That's right, this is Qing Shuang Ling! It's worth as much as a divine weapon, and you can tell it's extraordinary just by hearing it.

As a young nurse, she really lacks confidence.

Cao Geng comforted her, "Sister Xueman, don't worry, I will teach you everything."

He has to teach others anyway, so instead of teaching others, he might as well teach Zhou Xueman.

Hearing this, Zhou Xueman stopped talking.

She was not stupid and understood the value of this medicine. Once she learned how to use it, her status would rise, and she was no longer willing to be a nurse who was at the mercy of others.

The deputy lord nodded and said, "No problem. Any other requests? Tell me, as long as it is feasible, I will agree to it."

Cao Geng said: "No more for now, we'll talk about it when we get some!"

The deputy lord nodded and asked, "What about the alchemy machine? Do you understand this too?"

The Alchemy Machine is a magical tool...

As long as you have a sophisticated magic casting table, forging magic cannons and refining magic crystal bullets are no longer a problem.

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army was extremely eager to obtain this equipment.

However, this is not something that can be easily obtained if you want it.

This magic casting table is now impossible for anyone in the country to make by hand. It has to be purchased from other worlds, and the price is staggeringly high.

With the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to overcome numerous difficulties and go to a foreign land to purchase a magic casting table.

Some people might say, let's go find Smith! He can even get mysterious magic weapons, so why can't he get a casting table?

Oh, he can indeed provide magic weapons, but unfortunately he can't help with this foundry.

Once he gets you a forge, will you still ask him for magic weapons in the future?

The truth is that simple.

As soon as the deputy commander said this, everyone looked at Cao Geng eagerly again.

Cao Geng responded: "Su Chang, you have to do things step by step! These are two completely different fields. Even if I can transform into millions of people, I can't do it!"

The deputy commander pressed, "Can you?"
