The young woman in front of her, half a head taller than Ruan Chi, tall and slender, perfectly in line with the golden ratio, wearing fiery red leather armor, with a long saber hanging from her waist, and a heroic body, as if she had just returned from the battlefield as a general.

Her hands and feet are very long, but they look very harmonious against the background of her tall figure. The beautiful legs covered by the battle armor are slender and toned, and the arms are obviously full of strength, and the long palm is pressed against the saber at her waist, and the hidden power is revealed from her, and it is indeed not angry but mighty.

Her skin is full of healthy aura, the wheat-like color adds a bit of strong charm to the bodybuilder's sex, and her short dark brown hair looks simple and neat, giving people a fresh and vigorous beauty.

Such an outstanding woman, Ruan Chi still couldn't think of where she had seen it, until just now she said the title of the female captain of the Fortinchel Guard.

"Ah, what a coincidence, Captain Shirley." Ruan Chi thought about it for almost two or three seconds before he remembered, wasn't this the female guard captain with a strong sense of justice that he had met in Fortinchel?

"Bastard, you really forgot about it." Looking at Ruan Chi's sudden realization, Shirley couldn't help but be angry.

"You can't blame me, haven't we seen each other in half a year? It's normal not to remember. Ruan Chi said innocently.

"Looks like my friendship with you is really shallow, bastard." Shirley gritted her teeth.

Where are the two of you, you said a word, and Goldman, who was shocked that he was being left aside, couldn't help but exclaim: "Wait, our matter hasn't been settled yet." ”

As he spoke, Goldman looked at the heroic and beautiful female guard captain beside him. frowned, "Miss Shirley." Do you know this guy? ”

Shirley, who was angry with Ruan Chi, wanted to say that she didn't know her. But when the words came to her mouth, she still changed her words: "It's an acquaintance, a friend who has worked with before." ”

When they were in Fortinchel, the two did work together, not only capturing a special transhuman named Alpha, but also destroying the Platinum Consortium's stronghold in the Roman harbor.

Of course, Shirley was basically dragging her feet at that time, but she didn't notice it herself.

Hearing Shirley say that Ruan Chi was a friend, Goldman frowned. But thinking that it was too embarrassing to be kicked by someone just now, he immediately raised his posture and said proudly: "Since you are a friend of Miss Shirley, then I will not investigate what happened just now, but you must apologize to me." ”

"Apologize?" Ruan Chi looked at Goldman with an almost idiotic look and said with a smile: "Why should I apologize? ”

"Of course, it's because you ran into Young Master Ben." Dan said as a matter of course.

"No kidding, she was the one who kicked you away just now." Ruan Chi pointed to Jialan beside him.

"She?" Goldman's gaze finally fell on Jialan, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The girl in front of her looked young and had a beautiful face. Fair-skinned, although not very well dressed. A lotus lotus-colored cloth skirt that is almost discolored, but it just outlines the girl's unique green curves, and the millet, fluffy, and slightly curly hair is just casually put on the body.

Although Jialan is not the kind of stunning beauty, her appearance with a bit of the girl-next-door taste, and the expression on her face that rejects people thousands of miles away, but there is a contradictory alternative temperament, at least, it makes the eyes of Master Goldman, who has always been accustomed to seeing those vulgar fans, shine.

"It's too much, in order to shirk responsibility, I actually slandered this lovely young lady." Goldman said to Ruan Chi in an accusatory tone, while walking to Jialan's side, pretending to be gentle: "This lovely young lady, please don't worry, I will administer justice for you." ”

"Is it really her who kicked you......" Ruan Chi was a little speechless, is there something wrong with this thing? Or is there a problem with your vision? Also, why doesn't anyone believe me when my brother tells the truth?

Hearing Ruan Chi's words, Goldman became even more angry and scolded, "Although you are a friend of Miss Shirley, you have gone too far in doing this, boy, I want to duel with you." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was amazed, and as we all know, duels were the ultimate means of solving problems between nobles.

"Master Goldman, what are you doing here?" Hearing Goldman's words, Shirley, who was listening next to her, was also a little anxious, others didn't know, but she knew very well.

The black-haired boy in front of him, but for a very terrifying guy, recalling Ruan Chi's experience of holding his father hostage, Shirley was faintly worried. Also, Goldman's identity is also special, if he is injured in a duel, Shirley will also have a headache.

However, Shirley's kindness was misinterpreted by Dan Goldman himself, and he raised a hand and said seriously: "Miss Shirley, don't worry, your friend and I are just a fair duel and will not hurt him." ”

After saying that, the thing also showed a smile to Shirley that he thought was charming.

No, I'm worried about you, I'm afraid you're going to get hurt, maybe even die......

Shirley shouted in her heart, but it was impossible to explain it directly to Goldman.

Let's not say whether Goldman will listen to him, besides, the nobles are all guys who have no one in their eyes, if Shirley directly told Sù Goldman, saying that Ruan Chi is better than him, he probably won't believe it.

"Boy, what's the matter, don't you dare to accept my invitation to a duel?" Seeing where Ruan Chi was standing without saying a word, Goldman thought he was afraid, and his expression naturally became more arrogant.

It's not the first time that Ruan Chi has been invited to a duel, and it's really a little annoying about this kind of boring thing, Ruan Chi helped his forehead and said, "I don't want to talk to this thing anymore, please send him away." ”

When Goldman heard Ruan Chi's inexplicable words, he frowned and was about to speak, but at this time, someone suddenly kicked him behind him, and the person flew out.

"Bang!"

Goldman was kicked very lightly, and the person flew directly out of the crowd of onlookers, fell to the street more than ten meters away, and finally landed in a very ugly posture.

"Smack!"

Ruan Chi clapped his palms and gave a thumbs up to the man who kicked Goldman, "Well done!" ”

Jialan slowly put her legs away, and said expressionlessly, "He's too annoying." ”

The people around were completely stunned. I probably didn't expect this delicate girl in front of me to be so strong.

Shirley was the first to come back to her senses from the shock. Realize that Goldman is still crawling more than ten meters away. She hurriedly beckoned her men to come over and help him up.

Fortunately, the armor on this cargo was very high-end, and although it was kicked lightly, except for the unprotected head that fainted because of the face hitting the ground, there were no injuries anywhere else.

"Captain, are you going to arrest these people?"

"No need, let's go."

Shirley knew Ruan Chi's personality in case she angered him. That's the real big trouble. But before leaving, Shirley still walked to Ruan Chi's side and said, "I still have something to do today, so let's make an appointment tomorrow to come out and talk again, and you can come to this address to find me at that time." ”

As she spoke, Shirley handed a note with the address written on it to Ruan Chi.

"We don't seem to know each other very well, is this a date?" Ruan Chi smiled and took the note.

"Seriously, I have something I want to discuss with you." Shirley gave Ruan Chi a blank look, and then left with her own people, as well as the fainted Goldman.

With that troop of cavalry departed. The streets of Nuoda were calm, and the crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed. However, because of the relationship between Jialan and kicking a nobleman twice in a row, she walked on the street and received curious guidance from many people.

Jialan didn't care about this at all, and then left the small town with An Peiqi and Ruan Chi.

Following.

Ruan Chi took Jialan and An Peiqi, two daughters, to a Terran main city called Fort John, according to the address given by Shirley at the beginning, where they found a tavern called "The Sun Never Sets".

As soon as I entered, I saw Shirley sitting in the corner in civilian clothes.

Speaking of which, Shirley's father is also the castle guard of Fortinchel City, with the title of viscount, as a daughter, she was naturally born in the noble stage, and she has also received etiquette training from the nobility.

Although she usually has a big smile when she goes on a mission, after changing into a lady's dress, Shirley now looks like a different person, feeling much more beautiful, and her behavior is quite elegant.

Ruan Chi sat casually in front of Shirley, while Jialan and An Peiqi stood behind him.

"Tell me, what's the matter with asking me out?" Ordering a glass of dragon fruit juice from the tavern waiter, Ruan Chi smiled and looked at the radiant female guard captain opposite.

Shirley first glanced at Jialan behind Ruan Chi, yesterday Jialan kicked Goldman's "feat" twice in a row, which impressed her very deeply.

After a long while, Shirley retracted her gaze, looked at Ruan Chi and said: "Recently, I have been busy with a series of murders, the victims targeted by the murderers are all the nobles of our human race, and they have committed fifteen crimes, nearly two hundred people have died, they died in a horrific state, all of them were gouged out without any external injuries, and now, the entire Free Federation, the nobles of all countries are panicking......"

"Wait, what are you telling me all this for?" Ruan Chi interrupted Shirley's speech and asked.

"I'm sorry I didn't make it clear to you." Shirley took a deep breath and continued, "I am now one of the main investigators sent by the Federation to investigate this case, and in order to solve the case as much as possible, I need more powerful external help." In fact, the Federation has asked the Adventurers' Guild to issue a bounty on the murderer, but so far, there has been no progress......"

"Could it be simpler?" Ruan Chi interrupted again.

"I want you to help me find the murderer." Shirley finally said.

“……”

Ruan Chi was silent for a while, stared at Shirley for a while, and said, "Why are you looking for me?" ”

"Aren't you an adventurer?" Shirley said in a natural tone: "I have investigated your identity, you are a D-class registered adventurer, the task issued by the Federation this time to ask the adventurer union to be released, there is no level limit, anyone who provides clues to find the murderer, or helps catch the murderer, can get a generous bounty......"

Speaking of the latter, Shirley added, "The amount of the bounty released by the Federation this time is 30,000 gold coins. ”

This figure is definitely a sky-high price for ordinary people, but it is not attractive to Ruan Chi, who has millions of gold coins in his pocket.

Ruan Chi did not show the heartfelt expression as Shirley imagined, but said lazily: "It's true that I am an adventurer, but in fact, adventurer is my deputy position, and my real profession is a teacher." ”

"You liar, people like you can be a teacher?" Shirley said with a look of complete disbelief.

Damn, can't you believe Lao Tzu if he tells the truth?

Ruan Chi scolded in his heart.

"Anyway, I hope you can do me a favor, if you find the murderer, in addition to the bounty of the Adventurer's Guild, I will apply to the Federation for other rewards, if you are lucky, you may be able to get a knighthood." Shirley didn't seem to be able to see Ruan Chi's painful expression, and still persuaded bitterly.

"Alright, you don't understand what I mean." Lao Tzu is not uncommon.

"Smack!"

Hearing that Ruan Chi was still rejecting herself, Shirley's original nature was immediately exposed, and she slapped one hand on the table and put on a fierce expression, "Bastard, from the perspective of a friend, can't you help?" ”

"Actually, I don't know you very well." Ruan Chi said lazily.

“……”

I had never seen this kind of guy who didn't eat oil and salt, and Shirley found that she really didn't withdraw from Ruan Chi, so she put on a pitiful expression and begged: "How did you agree to me?" ”

At this time, the waiter brought the dragon fruit juice ordered by Ruan Chi, and Ruan Chi took a sip before staring at Shirley seriously.

Shirley was a little panicked, and hurriedly covered her breasts and shouted, "Don't you think, even if it is to solve the case, I will not sell my hue." ”

"Miss, do you feel too good about yourself?" Ruan Chi was a little speechless, staring at Shirley's chest and said disdainfully: "I'm interested in flat-chested women. ”

In fact, although Shirley's boobs are not big, they are definitely quite a lot, and they are at least a B on visual inspection.

It's just that women who have had an intimate relationship with Ruan Chi, whether it is Rachel or Herlan, are all breasts, and Shirley is indeed at the airport level compared to them.

Shirley was so angry that she couldn't speak, but now that she had a request, she could only grit her teeth and endure it.

After drinking half of the juice in his hand, Ruan Chi said slowly: "Actually, it's not a big problem to help you, but I'm curious, why do you have to find me?" Am I not a D-class adventurer? It stands to reason that there are more people who are more advanced than me, and you can find someone else. ”

After taking a deep breath and calming herself down, Shirley said: "It's very simple, first of all, I know your strength, and secondly, I also have my own selfish ......"

Speaking of this, Shirley paused before continuing: "Although I am now one of the investigators of the investigation team established by the Federation this time, there are many forces involved in this hollow murder case, and even if the case is successfully solved by then, the credit will be thinned." Maybe the first credit will be taken away by those high-ranking officials. And those of us who work day and night to investigate cases may not even be remembered by name. ”

A hint of self-deprecation flashed in Shirley's eyes, "You should be clear, why am I the captain of the guard?" (To be continued......)
