Chapter 140: Indifferent to fame and fortune
Commander Cao fell asleep for nearly a day and a night in a coma. By the time he slowly regained consciousness, it was already the next night when the silver moon was high. There was a cool and refreshing fragrance on his lips, and a trace of coolness penetrated deep into his heart, awakening the groggy soul of Head Cao. Captain Cao felt as if he had entered an inexplicable and unknown wonderful world, and couldn't help but suck two mouthfuls of the indescribable fragrance.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a pair of bright eyes in front of me staring at me in a daze, which was a pair of eyes that Captain Cao would never forget. The distance between Jessica and him was terrifyingly close, the two of them were facing each other, and Jessica's breath was sprayed on Captain Cao's face, making Captain Cao almost intoxicated. Just about to feel the intoxicating fragrance deeply, Jessica dodged in a panic like a frightened deer, and when she looked at her again, her pretty face had turned blood-red, and she was dripping, obviously she didn't expect that Captain Cao would wake up at such a time.
Although he was a little stunned, Head Cao suddenly came back to his senses. Sleeping memories also slowly emerged at this moment, as if a minute ago, he was still fighting to the death with the Sphinx. Captain Cao stiffened a carp, bounced up from the ground, and looked around like a killer, but found that he was now in a soft grass, not far in front of him, there was a clear and transparent, but unreachingly quiet lake.
Yesterday's battle was still fresh in Commander Cao's memory, that tug-of-war was at least a few kilometers away from this green space, completely in the desert. And Captain Cao is in this place now, apparently moved by Jessica when he was unconscious. Looking at Jessica's weak figure, Head Cao suddenly felt a warmth in his heart.
"Where's the Sphinx? Have you already hung up?" Captain Cao scratched his head, but in the end he was still a little unsure. That blow was also a blow from Captain Cao's best efforts, either the Sphinx died, or Captain Cao's two braids. In the last blow, Commander Cao himself forgot what was going on. But now that he and Jessica are still alive, the results are clear.
"Don't you have any impression of such a big thing? You killed a king-level demonic beast! Once this news reaches the empire, I am afraid that the whole country will praise your great name. Jessica also recovered and was in a very good mood. Now look at the cramped Captain Cao, where is there any domineering Sphinx confrontation at all, the current Captain Cao is like the introverted and shy big boy in the yard next door, which makes Jessica quite surprised.
Captain Cao smiled embarrassedly, he really couldn't remember clearly, he was also reckless in order to kill the Sphinx at that time. The impact of smashing into the ground is also extremely ferocious. If this is not a desert, even if it is a piece of land, I am afraid that Captain Cao himself will be seriously injured, and the sand has effectively weakened Commander Cao's impact, so that now he only broke two ribs, such an injury is really nothing to Commander Cao, it is a miracle.
However, after pondering for a while, Head Cao still looked at Jessica and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just because the beast god is reluctant to return to his arms so early that a beautiful woman like you is still alive, and I can't die if I want to. If I could, I would like you to know about it. There is no need to overdo it......"
Captain Cao's love words that he wanted to hide made Jessica's heart sweet, but his words later made Jessica a little unable to believe his ears. Fight head-on to kill a king-level demonic beast, no matter who it puts on it. I'm afraid I can't wait to tell the world, after all, this kind of glory is also at an unprecedented level. The Beamon orcs are the most honorable race, and Captain Cao is also a Beamon hot-blooded man. Don't you yearn for this harmless glory?
Just think about Captain Cao's performance in the Southern Expedition, and you can judge that Captain Cao also has his own goals and pursuits. The Fifth War Zone Trident led by him has long been known to everyone in this southern expedition, this is glory and fame, as a soldier, it is impossible to be indifferent to these things, Jessica also believes that Commander Cao has a fiery heart. If Commander Cao proved his ability and charm as a leader of the army in the Southern Expedition, then this Jedi counterattack against the Sphinx is definitely the pinnacle of his personal honor! There are only three people in the entire Beamon Empire who are still alive and have a record of killing super-level demonic beasts head-on, one is Jessica's own big brother Leonardo, the other is the dragon slayer twin stars of the plundering group, the vain Ba Fat Man and the self-proclaimed love saint Wade Handsome Guy, these three people Jessica are no strangers.
Only a demonic beast above the seventh order can be regarded as a super-level demonic beast, and what the Dragon Slayer Twin Star killed was only a bipedal flying dragon that could only be regarded as the weakest among the super-level demonic beasts. And during the time when Commander Cao joined the Firefox Legion, Jessica also heard the ten heroes of the Raiding Regiment and the soldiers of the Firefox Legion blowing nonsense. Ba Fat Man and Wade Handsome Guy are still very respected in the Firefox Legion because of their identity as Dragon Slayer Twin Stars, which is the characteristic of Beamon Orcs, and everyone worships heroes. But Ba Fat Man and Wade also told the truth after drinking too much, and now the two of them together may be able to kill a two-legged wyvern, and they have to pay a lot of price, at the beginning, they couldn't even beat the dragon whip of the two-legged wyvern, and there was actually someone else who really killed the two-legged wyvern, and this person was the head of Cao. It's just that when being questioned by others, Head Cao always has a reserved smile on his face and never says a word, so that people can't figure out whether this is true or false.
As for Leonardo, Jessica naturally cherishes her brother's reputation. When Leonardo was young, he used to travel in the human world in disguise for a while, and in the process of his travels, he encountered an eighth-order lord-level magical beast that was a disaster, the swamp lord Ozil, a huge human-faced monster snake. Until now, there is a legend about the "Great Gatsby" in the human world. In all versions of the story, this Gatsby is the same, a super beautiful man who is so handsome that countless young girls cry and shout that they want to send their own blood, not only has strong personal strength, but also has the style of an ancient knight, which is in line with the characteristics of the first male protagonist in all knight novels. Everywhere he passed, he always left helpful words. Getting rid of the swamp lord Ozil is just one of his many tales of rebellion.
It wasn't until Leonardo traveled through most of the Pan-American continent and then returned to the Beamon Empire that someone uncovered the mystery based on the octagonal yellow magic crystal on Leonardo's belt. When Leonardo traveled across the continent. Naturally, it is impossible to rely on his identity as a silver fox to swagger through the market, but to pretend to be a human in a low-key manner, and his pseudonym is Gatsby.
Killing the eighth-order Demonic Beast Swamp Lord Ozil, such a great feat, is of the same nature as dragon slaying, and its difficulty is much greater than killing a lone bipedal wyvern that has just been produced. It was because of this identity that Leonardo was revealed, so that his personal reputation was unparalleled at the time, both in the Beamon Empire and in the human world. Whoever mentions Leonardo or Gatsby's name has to give it a thumbs up. At the beginning, the Rothschilds wanted to find Leonardo as their image spokesperson, that is, they took a fancy to Leonardo's huge influence, suitable for all ages, and both men and women.
If you look back at Captain Cao's words, you will find that this big back is even more amazing. In order to save Jessica from the beast tide, Captain Cao experienced such a shocking move as killing the beast tide and then killing the beast tide and then killing the beast tide. Looking at the entire Beamon Empire, few people dared to pat their chests and say that they could do it. In addition, Commander Cao did not have supplies all the way. kept bleeding his own blood to raise Jessica, and walked in this strange desert for such a long time.
When Captain Cao and the Sphinx met, Captain Cao's personal state could be said to be extremely bad. But even so, he finally completed the Jedi counterattack. Let the mighty Sphinx return to the underworld. The difficulty factor is higher than Leonardo's killing of Ozil, Lord of the Swamp, and the impact and meaning are completely different. In front of the Sphinx, Ozil was not worth mentioning at all, and Ozil was only at the level of a sub-saint at best. It only takes hundreds of years to become famous. The Sphinx is an ancient magical beast, and it has stayed at the level of the Holy Rank for an unknown number of years. The difference between the sub-saint level and the holy level is like the difference in weight between a mouse and an elephant.
"You've killed an Ancient King-level Demonic Beast! a fierce beast that can survive even the Great War of Ancient Gods and Demons. Don't you want it to be widely spread? You know, if it gets the word, you ...... You will no longer be a villain who is falsely rumored by those who do not know your details, and even your raiding group will be greatly affected by this incident, and will be admired and shouted by everyone. It took Jessica a long time to recover from the shock, and Jessica couldn't find the right words to describe her current mood, and she really couldn't understand Captain Cao's unique thoughts.
Jessica's euphemism was also very clear, and even she had heard a lot of rumors about Captain Cao and the raiding group. Those who have really gotten along with Commander Cao and the raiding group will know that many of those rumors are groundless, and it is even possible that someone with intentions is malicious rumors to hurt Commander Cao and the raiding group. So much so that although the reputation of Commander Cao and the raiding group is increasing day by day, their various notoriety, and even a lot of basins that have nothing to do with them have been detained on their heads. Under such circumstances, Head Cao didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and still went his own way. His actual actions can hit back against all the rhetoric that slanders them. The raiding group is willing to go deep into the beast tide in order to save their comrades, this kind of family and country righteousness is not something that unscrupulous hillbillies can do, they are just used to using vulgar faces to cover up their true colors. Underneath their obscene faces, there is a real heroic nature.
Not to mention Captain Cao, these things would not have happened without the guidance of him, a soul figure. Killing the Sphinx is definitely the best chance for Commander Cao to rehabilitate himself, and the entire Beamon Empire will be a sensation because of his glorious deeds. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a contemporary saint. Being able to kill the Sphinx means that Captain Cao has also reached the stage of transcendent sainthood and is worthy of the title of saint.
How many centuries has it been since there had been a saint in the Beamon Empire? This is a long time that it would take even the most wise man to count them clearly, and if he had this title, it would mean that the whole life of Commander Cao would be different. Even the teachings of the Temple of Beamon have separate records and descriptions that give the saint privileges. The privileges of a saint can make countless people jealous. "All weapons made to attack the saints will be destroyed, and all words that slander the saints in the judgment will be condemned!" This is the original text of the teachings of the Temple of Beamon, and it is conceivable how high the status of such a person is, and even His Majesty Pedro needs to touch his chest first when he sees such a powerful man in the world. Isn't it a dream of a good boy to be able to mix to that extent?
Captain Cao's move is equivalent to throwing away these low-hanging fruit's fame, honors and privileges, but any normal person may not be able to understand Captain Cao's thoughts. If the eleven members of the raiding group know that their boss has done such a shocking act, I am afraid that these guys will organize a large group of people to spread the word everywhere, until the entire Pan-American continent is a household name.
"Non-indifferent and unambitious, non-tranquil and far-reaching, I have already passed the stage of chasing fame and fortune, life, plain and calm is true. You have the right to make this a secret between the two of us, and there is no need to publicize it. For me, as long as you know, it's equivalent to the whole world knowing. Head Cao smiled and said probably the most beautiful love words in his life.
Captain Cao's breezy performance even made Jessica lose her mind for a while, her newly recovered face turned blood-red again, and her skin was surprisingly thin. Jessica didn't know that Captain Cao's current appearance was also suffocated, and he finally did such an earth-shattering event, with Captain Cao's character, he couldn't wait to blow it, although he was not as vain as a fat man, but this kind of thing was enough for him to blow for a while. Didn't Commander Cao want to wear a red flower and ride a white horse to greet the applause and cheers of those young girls in the entire Beamon Empire? Of course, he had a hard time wronging himself like this...... (To be continued.) )
