Chapter 1616: Not worthy of being a city lord

"Maybe you're curious, why did I become Carter Rodney's backstage," I said lightly, "You may not believe that all of this was originally just an accident, an accident that could even be seen as a joke, but it was precisely because of this accident, and the next series of accidents, that pushed me to the position of Rodney's backstage." ”

"Maybe you're wondering why I'm so determined to promote Rodney, who seems to have no ambitions," I smiled and said, "Actually, there's a reason for that." ”

"Today's Ari City, although the political situation is shaky, but the overall situation is still fixed, that is, no matter how much the people complain, you can ask who is the only royal family in this Eri City, but they will also answer in unison Carter family, a century-old wood, deep-rooted, as long as the Carter family is not completely dead, there will still be people who support their family descendants as the city lord of Eri City" Sipping wine, I continued: "As I said before, Carter Rodney, although he has no ambition, is a righteous and righteous guy, It is not a blessing for the people to put him on the throne of the city lord, so I will support him. ”

"Since I've supported Rodney, I naturally don't want to see anyone else become the lord of Ari City again, I mean, do you understand?"

Achilles frowned, and his stiff face showed a hint of determination: "I won't kill the descendants of the Carter family." ”

"What if it's not a descendant of the Carter family?" I said lightly, "Are you willing to kill, for Rodney." ”

"For Rodney...... For Carter Rodney's ......" muttered a few words, he nodded slowly, and said, "If it weren't for the descendants of the Carter family, I would have killed them." ”

"Very good," I said, "Since you've said so as a legendary hero squire, then I'll believe you once, and you can stay." ”

"Stay?" Achilles looked confused.

"Yes," I said, "if you don't stay, where else can you go, is it possible, are you still going back to Ari City?" ”

Achilles shook his head a little frustratedly: "I have made it clear to Carter Scott that I will neither interfere with him nor follow him anymore, so I will definitely not be able to go back to this Eri City." ”

"Isn't that right," I chuckled, "since you can't go back to Arie City, where can you go?" Don't forget, you still have the 'good name' of killing foreigners. ”

Achilles shook his head again and said: "A few big towns, maybe I can't tolerate them, but the Hefeng Continent is so big, how can it be covered by a few big towns, as long as you find a random place and hide it, you can still live in peace." ”

"And what about your idea of protecting Carter Rodney?" I scoffed, "I guess I'm going to forget it all in the blink of an eye." ”

"How could you forget!" Achilles said angrily: "It is my life's duty to protect the descendants of the Carter family!" ”

"Since it's a duty, don't go" I said lightly: "Stay, accept my arrangement, rest assured, I won't treat you as a thug, you are still a free man, do whatever you like, it's just your scope of action, I want to restrain it a little." ”

"Restrain me?" Achilles sneered: "Why do you restrain me? Can you restrain me? ”

"If you want to rely on force, it is naturally impossible, so I plan to let you restrain yourself."

"Why should I restrain myself?" Achilles said coldly.

"In order for me to find you, for Rodney to reappear in this world one day, you can become a wall to protect him from the wind and rain, to protect him, to reclaim what once belonged to him!"

Achilles glared at me, his breathing became more and more rapid, his fists were clenched, and the momentum of the strong man made the whole room shake, a little, his expression narrowed, and his momentum quickly weakened: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

"That's right," I smiled, "I hope you can keep your promise and don't run around, so that you have a chance to become Rodney's sword in the first place, and the whole of Ari City." ”

Achilles was silent, as before, he was silent for a long time, and I was even a little drowsy for a long time, and finally, he raised his head and said unshakably: "I have a request." ”

"Say."

"I want to see Carter Rodney and Carter Eva to make sure they're still alive!"

Achilles' words are extremely firm and unquestionable.

I smiled slightly and said, "Okay, tomorrow morning, I will arrange for you to meet with them, and after you meet, you will have to act according to my rules, okay?" ”

"Good," Achilles said in a deep voice.

That night, I sneaked into the New Heroic Guild and secretly met Jin Siqi, and I was naturally overjoyed to meet again after a long absence.

However, we didn't do anything secret, and we still snuggled together and talked for most of the night.

In the early hours of the next morning, I slipped out of the New Valiant Guild and came to the door of the cottage where Rodney and Eva were, rang the doorbell, and waited for a while before Rodney rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened the door with a sigh.

"Yo," I bared my teeth and beckoned, "Morning." ”

"Xiao Yi!" Rodney lost his sleepiness the moment he saw me, and his whole person was pleasantly surprised: "Why are you here, hurry, come in, let's talk to the two brothers!" ”

"There's no hurry to talk," I waved my hand and said, "I'm looking for you and your sister now, wake up your sister too, change your clothes together, and I'll take you two to meet someone." ”

"See someone?" Rodney scratched his head and wondered, "Who?" ”

"You'll know when you go," I slowly closed the door and admonished, "Oh, by the way, dress well, and don't act like I've treated you both badly." ”

Soon, the two of them changed their clothes, and then, I took the two of them out of the villa area, and walked all the way to the restaurant where Achilles was.

"Xiao Yi, I haven't come to see my brother for so long, I thought you forgot my brother!" Rodney said excitedly.

"Forgot you?" I chuckled and shook my head: "Impossible, you are the future city lord of Eri City, I will still hold your thigh in the future, how can I forget you." ”

"The Lord of Ari City...... Ahem" Rodney said embarrassedly: "Don't scold me, look at me, where do I look like a city lord, even if it's Eva, it's more like a city lord than me." ”

I turned my head and looked Rodney's sister up and down, pouting.

"What are you doing" Eva was very upset and said angrily, "Are you questioning my royal bloodline!" ”

"No, no, no, you misunderstood," I shook my head and said, "I didn't question any of your royal blood, but it was just interesting to hear Rodney say that you are more like a city lord than he is." ”

"Do you think I'm not fit to be a city lord?" Eva gritted her silver teeth and said slowly, "Or am I not worthy of being the city lord?" ”
