Collapse Iron: What does it mean to broaden the fate of four people in one sentence?

He paused, then pointed to the smoke bombs in the distance.

"They didn't even give us a chance to take it out; they just knocked us out. This is truly the first time I've ever seen anything like it."

Lin Si raised an eyebrow.

"So what? What other tricks do you have?"

Sambo spread his hands, revealing a helpless smile.

"I'm out of ideas, I'm out of ideas. You're amazing, you're the one who calls the shots."

He pointed to the things on the ground.

"If you like any of this junk, feel free to take it. That cup..."

He hesitated for a moment, then sighed.

"I smuggled that cup from a shady merchant. I was originally planning to exchange it for some money, but since you like it, you can take it."

Lin Si did not move.

He just stared at Sambo, the gun still pointed at his head.

Sambo felt uneasy under their gaze.

"Sister, do you have any other instructions? Just say it, and I, old Sambo, will do whatever I can!"

Lin Si was silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking.

"I have a few questions for you."

Sambo nodded quickly: "Go ahead and ask!"

Where is this?

Sangbo was taken aback.

"what?"

Lin Si frowned.

"I'm asking you, where is this? What territory is this? How far is it from Beloborg?"

Sambo's expression turned strange.

He looked at the gray-haired girl in front of him, his eyes clearly saying, "Are you kidding me?"

But judging from the other person's serious expression, it didn't seem like they were joking.

"Uh... Sister, are you serious?"

Lin Si pointed the muzzle of his gun forward.

"Answer the question."

Sambo quickly raised his hand.

"Okay, okay! I'll tell you!"

He cleared his throat.

"This is the northern outskirts of Beloborg, about... half an hour's walk from the city gate. Just follow that direction,"

He pointed in the direction behind Lin Si.

"Keep walking, and you'll see the city wall."

Lin Si fell silent.

He turned his head and looked in the direction he had just walked.

That's the opposite direction.

In other words, he had been walking for half a day, heading towards a place far away from the city.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Sambo expressionlessly.

Sambo was startled by the stare.

"Sister, please don't look at me like that, I'm scared..."

Lin Si took a deep breath.

Oh well, getting lost is fine. At least I ran into an NPC, so it's not a complete loss.

He then asked, "You just said your name is Sambo?"

"Yes, yes, Sambo, Sambo Koski, you can just call me Old Sambo."

Lin Si narrowed her eyes.

"What do you do?"

Sambo chuckled.

"Me? I run a small business, traveling around to earn a meager living."

"What kind of business?"

"Uh... well, I do a little bit of everything. Buying and selling things, running errands for people, and occasionally..."

He lowered his voice.

"Do some archaeological work..."

Lin Si understood instantly.

Unscrupulous merchants, smugglers, and intelligence brokers.

These kinds of people are often the most useful NPCs in games.

They know a lot, have connections, and can get things that ordinary people can't.

Lin Si's lips curled up slightly.

"Old Sambo, right?"

Sambo nodded: "Yes, yes, yes."

"Want to make a deal?"

Sambo's eyes lit up.

"What deal?"

Lin Si put the gun away and slung it over her shoulder.

“Take me back to Beloborg and tell me about the situation here.”

He paused for a moment.

"In exchange, let's pretend this never happened."

Sambo paused for a moment, then a big smile spread across his face.

"make a deal!"

He strode over, wanting to get closer to Lin Si, but Lin Si raised her gun again, and Sang Bo's legs froze.

"Sister, I just wanted to show my affection..."

Lin Si remained expressionless.

"Lead the way."

Sambo awkwardly withdrew his hand and turned to walk in the right direction.

"Alright, alright, lead the way, follow me."

At this moment, Bronya was no longer able to say anything.

And now she has realized that Sambo is indeed not simple in every way.

She was just worried about her reputation and felt guilty for being called a "poor citizen".

And the result? These are poor citizens?

Poor citizens carry gold cups with them that could be passed down as family heirlooms?

Poor citizens are carrying tear gas canisters in their pockets?

How could a poor citizen wander around in the wilderness alone?

She was fooled! She was fooled by this smooth-talking blue-haired guy!

Bronya's facial expressions have lost control for who knows how many times today.

But at the same time, a complex emotion welled up in her heart.

That guy called Demon King, he saw through everything just now.

From the very beginning, he knew there was something wrong with Sambo.

So the robbery was a ruse, and the real purpose was to test them?

How did he do that?

They have the same eyes and the same level of observation, so why couldn't she see anything, while he could see through it at a glance?

The person controlling her body may be more than just someone who is "good at games".

His observation skills, judgment, and adaptability...

They are all top-notch.

In short, Bronya's feelings are very complicated right now.

In the wind and snow, Sangbo walked ahead, muttering to himself as he went.

"Sister, judging from your attire, you must be a Silver Mane Iron Guard, right? Are you out patrolling alone today? That's so dangerous. Although you're a good marksman, being alone is still..."

Lin Si looked around, secretly memorizing the route, and ignored him.

The best way to deal with this kind of low-level cliché is to ignore it.

After talking for a while, seeing that Lin Si had no response, Sangbo shut his mouth awkwardly.

Lin Si looked down at the gold cup in her hand.

What kind of design is this?

It's quite unique, isn't it?

The cup is gold in color, with a ring of gemstones of unknown material around the rim, and some crooked characters engraved on the bottom.

A scene suddenly flashed through his mind: in an animated film, a group of people were fighting over a golden trophy, and it seemed that someone even died in the end.

The Holy Grail?

This game even had a collaboration with Fate?

Lin Si was speechless for a moment.

This game is quite complicated, with JOJO's BGM and Fate's Holy Grail. Will we ever see Saber?

He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of these random thoughts.

Now is not the time to think about this.

He put the gold cup into his backpack (finally, the game has a proper backpack function), and then asked:

"Has anything major happened in Bellberg recently?"

Sangbo was taken aback.

He turned his head and looked at Lin Si with a strange expression.

Combining the questions from before: Where is this place? How far is it from Belleburg? Which way do I get there?

And now, here's the question: what major events have happened recently?

A bold conjecture came to Sambo's mind.

Bronya...could she have lost her memory?

No, what's going on? The daughter of the Great Guardian, the next Great Guardian, went out to fight a monster and came back with amnesia?

Sambo's expression became increasingly strange.
