Chapter 1691: Lost
Jin Siqi was very young, and with his strength and talent, he was appreciated by the president of the Rose Legion Eri City Branch, and was appointed as the captain of the third team of the Rose Legion Eri City Branch.
And for a period of time, I had the honor to accompany the branch president and attend the joint meeting of the Adventurers' Guild in Ari City several times.
The joint meeting of the Adventurers Guild in Ari City, listening to the name is very lofty, and the list of attendees is also quite luxurious, except for the five major guilds, all of them are the largest guilds in Eri City and the powerful medium-sized guilds that are quite influential in the local area.
Those who don't know may think that this is a manifestation of the importance that Ari City attaches to adventurers, and that such a conference is specially convened just so that it can be more fair, just and open to discuss important matters that only adventurers can solve.
But it's not.
This kind of meeting is not used to discuss matters, but a means used by the city lord of Eri City to restrain the adventurers' guild.
At each meeting, the lord of Ari City would announce something, establish some rules, and punish some guild leaders who violated the rules.
Jin Siqi clearly remembered that there was once a large guild leader who had a relationship with both the Iron Wolf Guild and the Golden Flame Guild, but he was dragged out and imprisoned just because he questioned a certain rule of the city lord at the conference, and died violently not long after, and his guild also fell apart because of the death of the guild leader.
A large guild with a strong strength, just because of this one thing, it collapsed and couldn't rise again.
Since then, Jin Siqi has developed a strong sense of fear of those in power, especially those in power at the royal level.
It's no wonder that after seeing the orc queen, she was so panicked that she was trembling and at a loss, and she wanted to flee from here immediately.
It turned out that all of this was indirectly caused by the guy who was the city lord of Eri City.
Although this guy intends to be powerful, but he has indirectly caused a psychological shadow to my fiancΓ©e, which I can't forgive.
I have never been a generous person, this account, I will keep it in my heart, and wait for the day when Eri City is breached, and the moment I stand in front of you, it will be time to settle the accounts.
......
......
The banquet lasted until late in the evening, during which all the dignitaries came over one by one to talk with me and drink together.
The highest status among them is none other than the old duke and the prime minister Lesta.
The two of them are not only respected, but also very old, I didn't dare to clink glasses and drink like other people, but symbolically drank a glass with the two of them, and then ordered someone to replace the two of them with tea, and replaced the wine with tea, and I continued to drink and talk.
Wine culture is like this, whether it is tea instead of wine, or real drinking, as long as you drink something, it is easy to talk about things, and even the mood when chatting will become cheerful and different.
While drinking tea, the old duke kept praising me as a young hero, courageous, courageous, thoughtful, daring to fight, dare to kill, dare to do, and will become His Majesty's humerus in the future and make immortal achievements.
I smiled and said yes, and drank more than he could tea.
Prime Minister Lesta kept silently watching with his wine glass, neither drinking nor speaking.
When the old duke drank too much, he smiled and said, "You surprise me." β
I smiled and said helplessly: "Your Majesty has quite expectations for me, and I will never say a word, which is against the responsibility of a courtier, and even more so to live up to Your Majesty's expectations." β
Lesta shook his head and said lightly: "Your decision-making is very good, I also appreciate it, I said surprise, not a matter of decision-making, but ideas, I have always thought that most of the adventurer's ideas are straightforward, not beating around the bush, let alone cunning, I have to say, you have a contribution today, refreshing my vision." β
I didn't know what it meant, frowned, and said, "Is there anything that the juniors have offended the seniors?" β
Lesta shook her head again and said, "It has nothing to do with the offense, I'm just quite surprised, and I feel a little emotional." β
With that, he raised his glass and drank it all.
I was stunned for a moment, and I didn't ask any more questions, and drank it all the same.
......
......
On the way back, I was preoccupied and puzzled.
Jin Siqi leaned on me and asked softly, "What's wrong with you, you look unhappy?" β
I sighed, muttered a little, and asked, "What do you mean, what did Prime Minister Lesta mean by what he said today?" β
Jin Siqi thought for a while and said, "Maybe I feel quite disappointed when I see the rise of young Junyan." β
"It's as simple as that?"
"How complicated can it be," Jin Siqi said: "In the days when I was the captain, I occasionally saw some talented newcomers, and every time I saw their progress, I would also feel lost, afraid that one day they would catch up and surpass, sometimes there were too many such thoughts, and even insomnia." β
"Uh, insomnia?" I laughed and said, "It's an exaggeration, I lose sleep just because of this little thing." β
"Maybe in your opinion, this is a small thing, but for me it is not" Jin Siqi said: "I have no background, two have no background, purely relying on personal ability and good performance, climbed to the position of captain of the Rose Army, for me, ability and strength mean everything, lose any of them, I may lose the position of captain, so when I see the team members play their potential and become strong at a rapid pace, I will have such a strong sense of loss." β
After hearing this, the corners of my lips curled, and I smiled slyly, "Do you still feel like this now?" β
"No," she took my arm and said with a happy face, "Now my only thing is no longer ability and strength, but to have a good fiancΓ©." β
This is a very simple love sentence, but it makes my heart move.
......
......
The next day after breakfast, I took her to the guild, and when I went out, I happened to meet Harold head-on.
Harold still looks like a tough guy, and when he sees me, he warmly greets me.
After a short greeting, Harold said, "Is there something going on in a while, let's catch up." β
I smiled and said, "No problem, let's talk in Cecil's teahouse." β
After that, we parted, he went about his business, and I slowly went to Cecil's teahouse.
Before I entered the gate, I saw Cecil and Tachibana Jiemei inside, like glue.
I smiled, stepped in, and said, "The two of you are talking to me in broad daylight, all kinds of dog abuse, it's a bit excessive." β
The two were immersed in the happy world of two, and suddenly heard someone disturbing him, Cecilden was anxious, his head did not turn, and he scolded angrily: "Throw it out!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Tachibana Jiemei covered her mouth with her little hand, and her face was full of panic, so she turned around inexplicably, and her eyes locked on my face, and for a moment, he was also stupid.
After a few seconds of sluggishness, Cecil let out a ghostly scream, leaned up, and fell to the ground with a chair, crying out in pain.
Tang Jiemei looked excited, jumped down from the chair, saluted me, and said, "It turned out that the benefactor came, and I missed the welcome, and I hope to forgive my sins." β
On the side, more than a dozen waiters who were waiting to throw me out of the teahouse stood in place and looked at each other when they saw this scene.
