At the end of the feast, the Fairy Empress ordered me to take Achilles to the tree house that had been prepared in advance to rest.

Turn left and right according to the tree house number, and it doesn't take long to arrive at your destination.

Standing five meters away from the tree house, my eyes trembled slightly, my heart was slightly embarrassed, and I couldn't help but sigh: Grandma Empress, I don't know if you did it unintentionally or deliberately?

The reason for resentment is not without purpose.

This treehouse for Achilles to rest is a far cry from the treehouse I bought for Boss Rennes.

The two tree houses are only one street apart, more than ten meters, with the strength of Achilles and the sharpness of his five senses, except for Boss Rennes, a battle-hardened grandmaster-level assassin, as long as the others take a little action, they will be discovered by Achilles immediately.

In this way, it is impossible to hide it, and only by being honest with each other can we be safe.

After pondering for a moment, I turned to Achilles on the side and said, "Are you in a hurry to rest?" ”

Achilles didn't know what I meant, so he was stunned at first, then shook his head and said, "Don't worry." ”

I nodded, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's still early, I'll take you to meet someone." ”

Achilleston paused for a second and said, "Okay." ”

I was just about to raise my foot, when I suddenly remembered something, I retracted my footsteps, and said with a serious face, "Before I see this person, I need you to make a guarantee." ”

"Guaranteed?" Achilles looked puzzled and said, "What guarantee?" ”

"Make sure you don't get impulsive," I said, "and make sure you don't do it." ”

Achilles frowned slightly, and said, "Hearing you say this, it seems that the person you led me to meet should be friends and enemies with me." ”

"The enemy is not counted," I said, shaking my head, "but the position is different." ”

Achilles pondered for a moment and said, "I can promise not to be impulsive, but if the other party makes the first move, I will definitely not show mercy." ”

"Yes."

Led Achilles to the door of the tree house opposite, knocked a few times at random, and I shouted, "Hey, Boss Wren, open the door, I'm here with an 'old friend' of yours." ”

After a few seconds, the door of the tree house slowly opened, and as soon as I reached out, I pulled the door open, turned back to Achilles and nodded, "You can come in, remember what you just promised." ”

Without hesitation, Achilles leaned in and entered the tree house.

The sunlight shines through the windows of the tree house and into the hall of the tree house, and the soft light has a dull pale yellow, which is in harmony with the slanting sun that is about to fall into the horizon.

In the middle of the hall, a thin old man is holding a teapot, unhurriedly pouring three cups of tea, looking at his indifferent demeanor and the nature of pouring tea, anyone who looks at it at first glance will think that this is a hermit power beyond the mundane.

But this illusion only appears at the first glance, and at the second glance, the detachment is gone, because you will see the centipede-like scar on his cheek.

"It's you!" Achilles was the first to speak, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and his body was full of momentum.

"It's me" Boss Ren smiled indifferently, and the scar was even more miserable: "Xiao Yi, you really brought me an amazing 'old friend'!" ”

I pouted and didn't fight back, after all, I didn't notify Boss Wren in advance, and I was disqualified.

After a moment of embarrassment, I said, "Sit down, and then talk together for a while, there are some things that always have to be said, and only after saying them can we solve the misunderstanding." ”

Achilles was very face-saving, and maybe he also felt that there were some things that he had to talk about, so he strode over, sat down on the side of the sofa, picked up the teacup, and drank it directly.

Boss Wren sneered: "Aren't you afraid that the tea is poisonous?" ”

Placing the teacup on the coffee table, Achilles said loudly: "If you want to kill me, you will not use poison, but a knife." ”

"I didn't expect you, the target of my assassination, to know me so well, it's rare, it's really rare" Boss Wren said: "If you weren't a lackey of the Carter family, I wouldn't mind making friends with you." ”

Achilles said: "Since I promised Carter Adams a thousand years ago to be his attendant and protect his family, I will be called a lackey a thousand years later, so what!" ”

This heroic spirit worthy of my heart, this awe-inspiring and unchanging remark, I can't help but be slightly moved.

If I stand in the position of Achilles, can I really be like Achilles, keep my promises, and never regret it for a thousand years?

After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't come to a conclusion, after all, promising this kind of thing is only binding on the gentleman's husband, and a villain like me can't guarantee that he will be able to promise it.

Of course, if I can keep my promise, if the object of my promise is my family, I will try to achieve it, anyway, for a person like me, family is more important than everything.

We sat on three sides, standing opposite each other, and inexplicably felt like we were divided into three parts of the world.

Boss Wren took the lead, he pointed to the hideous scar on his face, and said, "Thanks to you, this is the most fatal wound I have since my debut." ”

Achilles also retorted, saying, "That assassination was also the most shocking I have ever suffered. ”

"It's a pity," Boss Wren smirked.

"It's a pity," Achilles said in a deep voice, staring at Boss Rennes.

I hurriedly turned around: "I said, how long has it been since this happened, why bother to hurt each other's feelings again, I brought the two together this time, not to let you continue to fight evil, but to figure out the source of all the previous entanglements." ”

After that, I turned to Achilles and said, "You only heard Boss Wren say that you are a lackey of the Carter family, do you know why Boss Wren said such angry words?" ”

Achilles let out a long sigh and said, "I don't know. ”

"Let me ask you, in your time, how many legendary heroes fought bravely to fight for a peaceful future for mankind?"

Achilles thought for a moment and said, "More than a thousand. ”

"However, there are only seven people who really left their names in history and finally got the treatment that legendary heroes deserve, have you thought about it, where did the rest of them go?"

"This ......" Achilles looked stunned, not knowing how to answer.

"The so-called cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook, that's it" I said coldly: "A considerable number of legendary heroes did not die in the battle with monsters, but died under the butcher's knife of their own people, among them, there is the Carter family you want to protect." ”

Achilles' expression changed, and after a long time, he said: "I understand what you said, but what does this have to do with him?" ”

I shook my head, sighed, and said, "The ancestor of Boss Wren is also one of the many legendary heroes who survived, but he was ruthlessly persecuted by the Carter family, even if he lived in seclusion several times, it was useless, until today, he is the only one left in his family." ”
