Chapter 1683: Deliberations

With a weak body, he plots against the strong.

If that's the case, this Carter Scott is no slouch.

Should he be put on the list that must be removed?

After all, he has left Eri City, and the national forces hidden in the city should not have time to rescue him.

As long as there is no interference from the power of the state, I am sure enough to kill him.

The simplest and most direct way is to gather a group of powerful elite adventurers from the Dwarven Guild to sneak into the dense forest, find Carter Scott, and clear him.

If it is discovered, it is said that a fugitive has gone into the dense forest and is trying to clear it.

In this way, even if the Eri City side found Carter Scott's body, they would not be able to retaliate - they had no hard evidence.

In the absence of conclusive evidence, one can only suspect and not act, otherwise, it will lead to war.

I would love to have this time to start a war.

Arresting fugitives and straying into the jungle is more just and more sympathetic to the world.

Unleashing a war under the guise of justice not only favors the hearts of the people of the enemy, but also can cause trouble to the hearts of the enemy's people.

In this way, before the battle, the side of Eri City will lose first.

Once Vicky Castle goes to war with Ari City, I will definitely do everything I can to get Moonlight City and Dasai City into the fight.

Regardless of whether York Hancheng participated in the war or not, it didn't matter whether it was friend or foe, anyway, even if it valued love and righteousness, united with Ari City, and shared the same hatred for the enemy, it would not be able to reverse the tide of the war.

If Eri City can be defeated in this battle, it will not be far before I support Carter Rodney to ascend to the throne of Ari City.

Thinking of this, my heart jumped, and I was so excited that I wanted to give orders directly to the Dwarven Guild.

As soon as I felt the call crystal, I stopped.

At that moment before, a line of small words floated through his mind, a little messy, but still recognizable: with him, there were twenty-four elite adventurers of the Golden Flame Guild.

After pondering for a long time, he put the call crystal back into his arms.

No, you can't take that risk.

I can't take a risk until I know the identities of the twenty-four elite adventurers.

Drop the first letter on the coffee table, then pick up the second one.

The second secret letter was much more formal, clearly indicating the name of the recipient and the rough address of the sender, Dasai City.

Seeing that it was a secret letter from Dasai City, Cagalli leaned over and pretended to lean on my shoulder, but in fact squinted and peeked.

I didn't reveal her, but unfolded the letter and read it generously.

The letter was simple, I hoped I would be back to Dasai in three days, with the sender's name at the bottom, Lesta.

It was a letter from the Prime Minister of Dasai.

Seeing that there was no more content, I couldn't help frowning and turned it over, and the back of the letter was blank, not to mention the handwriting, not even a drop of ink.

"Uh......" I was puzzled, and I frustrated myself as I handed the two secret letters to Yura and asked her to help me deal with them.

Cagalli also got up, pretended to stretch her waist, and ran to Emily's side to sit down.

I thought for a long time with my chin on my chin, considering whether to call the Dasai City side first, ask about the situation, and then make a plan.

While I was thinking about it, the kitchen door opened, and the proprietress and others walked out with a steaming meal.

After dinner, I walked slowly into the backyard, and Taylor was sitting in a rocking chair enjoying the coolness of the night.

I picked up a patch of grass, sat down cross-legged, and retold the contents of the two superstitious letters as if talking to myself.

The old man listened, but there was no response.

I said, "Your old man helped me to refer to the reference, is my guess right or wrong, and should I ask the situation first before going to Dasai City Converge?" ”

Taylor still closed his eyes, was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Carter Horton is shrewd, how can he not know about his second son, I am afraid that among the twenty-four elites, at least one of them will be a latent national force, you didn't choose to attack rashly, this is good." ”

He paused and continued: "As for Dasai City, don't ask, just go over." ”

"Wouldn't that be unprepared?"

"Since Lesta sent you a secret letter, doesn't it mean that Dasai City is in an unspeakable crisis" Taylor said slowly: "It is implied that the things discussed here belong to the ulterior kind, and you still called over there to ask, do you want Lesta and others to despise your political consciousness?" ”

"It turns out that there is still a hidden meaning," I said respectfully, "taught." ”

After a few seconds of silence, the old man said again: "When I arrived in Dasai City, when I asked for your opinion, I tried to be as ambiguous as possible. ”

"Why is that?" I was puzzled.

Taylor said slowly: "They are all old fritters, only you are a rookie, many of your words are not mature enough, and they can't stand scrutiny, besides, I think that calling you to negotiate matters is just an attitude to show many nobles and dignitaries in Dasai City, as for the matter of negotiating with you, I'm afraid that before the secret letter is sent, it has already been decided." ”

Hearing this, I resisted and said unhappily: "All of them are hypocritical enough." ”

"Hypocrisy?" Taylor smiled and said, "This is their means of appeasing the nobles, and it is also their means of buying the hearts of the people." ”

I raised my eyebrows: "Call me over and go through the motions, you can appease the nobles and buy the hearts of the people?" ”

"Yes" Taylor smiled: "You are from a civilian background, because of your outstanding performance in the Japanese Wind Competition, and the great merit of exterminating the underground organization, you were promoted to the prime minister of Dasai City, and became a powerful minister under one person and above all peoples, in Dasai City, you can be described as a star, shining in all directions, you are hanging high in the sky, everyone looks up to you, stares at you, longs for you, whether it is a commoner or a nobleman, they all regard you as a benchmark, look up to you, and at the same time, you are also their ruler, The yardstick used to measure whether the city lord keeps his promise of integrity, once the state-owned decision is not announced, the city lord's integrity and status in the hearts of the people will decline, otherwise, the people will support the city lord more. ”

"That's what happened," I chuckled, "It seems that I, the puppet prime minister, am quite useful." ”

"In his position, bear his responsibility" Taylor said slowly: "As the prime minister of Dasai City, you don't need to go to the court every day to discuss matters, and you can still receive your salary on time, which is already the city lord's great tolerance for you, so don't complain too much." ”

"That's right," I nodded, and said, "The prime minister's salary is still quite high, it's enough to support the operation of a large guild, or not, a puppet is a puppet, anyway, I don't lose anything, tomorrow morning, I'll set off." ”

Finally, I stood up, patted the grass clippings off my body, and asked, "What do you think I should bring with me tomorrow?" ”

Taylor said leisurely: "A knife is enough." ”
