Chapter 1713: Captain
Little Red Fish's mindset is quite post-modern, to the point where I can't accept it at all.
Frightened, I pulled away from him at a safe distance, hugged my arms and trembled.
"What," the little red fish glared at me and said angrily, "It looks like I'm a man-eating monster." β
I said in my heart, you are no better than a monster, when you meet a monster, at most your life is not guaranteed, but when you meet you, it is a chrysanthemum!
After making trouble for a while, Xiao Hongyu sat on the ebony chair and said, "Say, what's the matter with me?" β
I sat down across from him and said solemnly, "I hope you can do me a favor." β
"Huh?" He rolled his eyelids and chuckled, "It's really rare that the most powerful young man in the Zephyr Continent would ask for help from the owner of a mere custom shop?" β
"The owner of a mere custom shop?" I laughed, shook my head, and said, "I'm afraid it's the funniest joke I've ever heard." β
Xiao Hongyu's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "Then I really want to ask, in addition to the identity of the owner of the custom shop, what else do you know about me?" β
"I don't know much" I shook my head, twisted a peanut, gently peeled off the coat, revealing the pale yellow flesh inside, and said slowly: "But some clues, just like the skin of peanuts, as long as you gently rub it, you can reveal the truth inside." β
Raising my head and looking at the little red fish, I said leisurely: "It is already very difficult for ordinary people to survive in troubled times, not to mention that it is even more difficult to operate a custom shop with fish eyes and pearls. β
He sneered and said, "Maybe I'm very wide-ranging, and I am deeply appreciated and protected by some high-ranking officials and nobles. β
"In today's Eri City, apart from the city lord, which dignitary has such great energy?" With a light sigh, I slowly shook my head and said, "But the city lord is not as good as Longyang, and he doesn't like the women of the custom shop, let's talk about it, what else do you have capital that can be appreciated by the city lord?" β
After staring at Xiao Hongyu's sharp gaze for a few seconds, I raised my hand, threw the peanuts into my mouth, crunched and chewed twice, and I continued: "Then there are only two guesses, first, you can meet the needs of the city lord, but is it possible, the income of the custom shop is indeed very expensive, but the city lord will care about such a small amount of money?" Either you can provide the necessary information to the city lord, so how can the city lord's intelligence agency be embarrassed? The only possibility is that you have the strength or identity to intimidate others. β
"When identity and strength are juxtaposed, I prefer the latter."
Suddenly, I picked up the big knife and slashed at the neck of the little red fish.
Although it didn't pull out the sword from its sheath or condense its killing intent, it had accumulated most of the strength of my right arm, and it was able to easily cut off the head of a third-level adventurer in an instant.
If the little red fish is really an ordinary person, this knife will take his life, but this is fine, born in troubled times, floating, and not enough background or strength to support, the ending will only be miserable, it is better for me to help him directly to get rid of it.
As the blade approached inch by inch, I had more and more expectations in my heart, and if I was an ordinary person, I was afraid that in the face of a sudden knife, I am afraid that there was only confusion and fear, but he was different.
I could see the confidence in his calm eyes.
This women's clothing boss is not simple.
With a muffled thud, the Great Knife stopped an inch from his neck.
It wasn't that I showed mercy, but that I was stopped by a much stronger force.
The little red fish smiled and still sat calmly opposite me, his left hand gently picked up the teacup and sipped, and his right hand stopped at the front of his neck, his five fingers bent, turned into a snake's mouth, and firmly bit the scabbard.
I smiled slightly, slowly put away the knife, and said leisurely: "It seems that I made the right bet." β
Xiao Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief suddenly, and the smile on his face dissipated in an instant, turning into a serious and rough expression, and he said in a deep voice: "Did you finally find out, it's really a little late." β
"Oh?" I wondered, "Late? β
"yes," he said, "I thought you would have found out earlier, but it's not bad, it seems that Harold is still more accurate." β
"Harold, you say?!" I was shocked: "Do you know him?" β
Little Red Fish smiled: "Not only do I know him, but I also know him very well, we used to be members of a team, but well, I am the captain, and he is just a newcomer." β
"No wonder, no wonder you have the strength to completely crush me."
"It's just that you haven't grown up yet" Little Red Fish put down the teacup and said slowly: "Say, how do you want me to help you?" β
I looked stunned and couldn't believe it, "Will you help me?" β
"Why not?" Little Red Fish said: "Since Harold's naΓ―ve boy is willing to believe you, presumably you will not be a bad person." β
"Why does this reason sound so unpleasant to me......"
Sighing lightly, I said, "I need you to help me contact the city lord." β
"Contact him for what?" Little Red Fish asked, "Are you going to kill him?" β
"Do you think it's possible?"
Little Red Fish shook his head and said, "If I could do it, I would have done it a long time ago." β
"That's it," I said, "I don't mean to assassinate him, but to talk to him about something." β
Little Red Fish nodded, changed his words, and said, "It's time to tell me why you want me to help you." β
"Huh?" I was stunned and said, "Didn't you just say that you were willing to help me?" β
"I said I would help you," Redfish explained, "but I didn't say I would help you, you have to give me a proper reason to convince me." β
"Reason?" I thought about it, but I really couldn't think of any reason, so I shook my head and said, "Sorry, I can't think of it." β
"So be it," he smirked, "tell me the purpose of your conversation with him, and perhaps I will agree as soon as I am pleased." β
After a moment's hesitation, I informed him of the true purpose of my trip.
When the little red fish heard this, he actually whimpered and cried, wiping his tears with a handkerchief while crying.
I sweated: "Does it need to be such an exaggeration?" β
Xiao Hongyu wiped her tears and sobbed: "So you stinky men don't have a good thing, such a touching story, you don't even cry." β
Get rid of it, you yourself are a stinky man, okay......
After crying for a long time, the little red fish wiped his red and swollen eyes and sobbed: "Okay, I will undertake this matter, you wait, I will invite the city lord to come over." β
I said in my heart that you are the city lord's house is your back garden, and the city lord is your servant, so you can invite you if you say please?
However, the facts shocked me again.
Not only was the city lord invited, but in just forty minutes.
Seriously, I was quite surprised, and I was even prepared to meet the castle lord a day later.
