Chapter 1675: Assassination
"Don't think I don't know, the real reason why you went into the water to rescue Master Dewey and others, and were in danger" The Fairy Empress said in a deep voice in a tone of 'I already know about you, but I just don't say it': "The chains that tow the submarine are all cast in steel, even if they encounter a deep sea monster, they will not be easily broken, and even if they are really broken, the section will not be so smooth and flat, it is comparable to cutting with a precision instrument." β
She sneered a few times and continued, "Those who dare to attack Master Dewey, the Elven Empress, and the President of the Rose Legion will also dare to attack you, so I tell you to be careful and not to be careless. β
I smiled and said, "I know that the Empress Grandma cares about me......"
"I just don't want my granddaughter to be sad, if you weren't Remy's fiancΓ©, I would care if you lived or died."
Without waiting for me to speak, there was a click, and the call was disconnected.
I couldn't help but be ashamed.
Achilles put his hands in his arms, leaning against the tree, kept looking at me from the corner of his eye, and waited until I put the call crystal back in his pocket, and then he said leisurely: "At a time when there are no dungeon changes and strange tides, it is really surprising that travel needs to be so cautious and vigilant. β
"No way, sometimes, the human heart is more vicious than the mind of the monster" sighed, I said: "Monsters only kill people for the sake of hunger, or to vent their anger, and humans, sometimes just treat each other as imaginary enemies, they will kill people, once the two are compared, monsters may be more cute." β
Achilles sighed deeply: "Fortunately, in my time, there were very few people who stabbed in the back. β
"There are many such things as stabbing in the back," I looked at Achilles and said earnestly: "Just because you haven't encountered it doesn't mean that you don't have it." β
Achilles pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps." β
The two of us continued to walk forward, perhaps because the previous topic was too heavy, and this time, no one squeaked.
After walking for dozens of minutes, I felt a little tired, so I casually found a place with thick turf to rest.
Sitting cross-legged, I divided the dozen or so fruits I picked into two piles and pushed one of them to Achilles to eat.
Achilles was not polite, picked one up, wiped it twice, threw it in his mouth, and crunched it.
I grinned and said, "You're rude enough to eat." β
Achilles didn't mind and said, "The habits I developed during the war can't be changed......"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly frowned, his face was wrinkled, and he said bitterly: "What kind of fruit is this, why is it so sour?" β
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I don't know what the name of this fruit is, but I do know that its flesh is very luscious, but the pit can sour the teeth, and my subordinate, the boss of Wren, often uses the juice extracted from the pit as a means of interrogation." β
After Achilles spit out all the stone pulp in his mouth, he frowned and said, "Is it a means of torture?" β
"Yes," I said, "after all, not everyone is willing to answer questions honestly. β
"Aren't you afraid that Her Majesty the Fairy Empress will be held accountable by doing this?" Achilles said solemnly: "After all, in your authority, you are not in charge of punishment. β
"Oh?" I smiled and asked, "How do you know that I don't have the authority to punish?" β
"Because you are a foreigner, a foreigner is not allowed to have direct control over the punishment," Achilles said, "and this was true in my time, and it must be the same in my current age." β
"You're still quite political," I said, "yes, I don't have the right to hold and exercise punishment, but that doesn't mean I don't have the right to defend myself." β
"Just in self-defense?" Achilles wondered.
"That's right," I said, "Most of the people I tortured were murderers who threatened the lives of me and my family, and the reason why I tortured them was only for the sake of my own family's safety. β
"But they do it the same way," Achilles emphasized.
"Means, even if it is a process, if the process is the same, must it be the same thing?" I shook my head and said, "Take painting as an example, ink and ink painting are both paintings, and the way to paint is to paint with a brush, but they are not the same type of painting, and for example, to make a statue of a god and a step, you need to take out the stone, knock and beat, but the value of the two things is completely different, and who would confuse a finely carved stone statue with a boxy step?" β
Seeing that Achilles was confused when he heard this, I continued to emphasize: "Therefore, as long as the starting point and the ultimate goal are different, even if the process is exactly the same, it cannot be fixed as the same behavior. β
After listening to my words, Achilles rubbed his temples and pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling that there seemed to be some truth, but it was difficult to accept it for a while.
I leaned against the stump of the tree, eating the fruit while watching him quietly.
I don't know why, I like to see other people's tangled expressions, especially when I originally disapproved of my words, but I couldn't find fault with them.
Achilles thought quietly, crunched and ate the fruit, and as he ate it, he habitually threw the whole fruit into his mouth, and then spit out the bitten kernel and the flesh again with a constipated expression.
Looking at his tangled expression, I was happy.
At this moment, Achilles suddenly rolled his eyes, picked up a fruit, and threw it at me, without thinking about it.
I'm scared of the hell.
Damn, no, it's just a joke about you, you don't need to throw me the fruit!
And if you lose my strength, the hit will be a serious injury, and maybe you will break your bones and tendons!
However, in the face of Achilles' fast, accurate and ruthless throw, I was defenseless, and I was completely unsure of dodging, and immediately felt a chill in my heart, it was over, this time it was miserable, and a few ribs must have been broken.
Well, let me be the punishment of schadenfreude.
Just as he was sighing, another phantom suddenly flashed in front of him, followed by a rapid sound of breaking wind.
Feeling the approach of the breaking wind and the threat of the phantom, I looked awe-inspiring, squinted my eyes slightly, and looked intently, and saw that the phantom, half an arm long, the thickness of the fingers, the back end was smooth, and the front end was sharp, it was a crossbow arrow!
Before the crossbow arrow was in my chest, it was hit by the fruit that followed, and with a snap, the fruit exploded, and the crossbow arrow completely deviated from the angle, and the volley turned around a few times, and with a click, it fell to the ground and sank into the grass.
I reached out and grabbed the arrow, only to feel that the body of the arrow was slightly heavier than the usual crossbow arrow, and it was made of very strong wood, and the outer layer of the arrow was coated with a layer of paint to protect it from the wind.
Such a crossbow arrow, once fired, will rarely deviate due to the surrounding environment, which can be described as a sharp weapon for assassination.
I sneered, my gaze slightly downward, and I was immediately surprised.
