Chapter 1338: Goodbye Achilles
I didn't ask what the little red fish craved was.
Because, no.
A man, dressed in a beptic dress, wandered in a custom shop, humiliated while laughing.
Or, he has a psychological problem.
Or, he's waiting.
Apparently, he is the latter.
What is he waiting for? I do not know.
But I knew it had to be an opportunity.
An opportunity worth his years of waiting!
"You say, you bet all the treasure on me?" Carrying the wine bottle, I closed my eyes, felt the sultry wind blowing in the barrenness, and said lightly: "Then what can you do for me?" ”
"Is it okay?" Little Red Fish Road.
"Yes," I said, "I want new information, at least, that my current informant can't provide." ”
"No problem," said the little red fish.
Suddenly, he smiled: "It seems that I bet on you as a treasure, that's right." ”
"How?"
"Casinos, neighborhoods, custom shops, these most powerful intelligence organizations, these most unlikely forces, are now under your control," Xiao Hongyu said: "Now you are better than the city lord." ”
"Perhaps."
"Why do you still look unhappy?" The little red fish stared at me, puzzled.
"I don't know," I shook my head, "I always feel awkward." ”
"Awkward?"
"It's just awkward" opened my hand, facing the natural moon, I said slowly: "I always feel that these forces are far from enough. ”
"You mean, the power of intelligence, or the power of force?" Little Redfish asked.
"Both."
"Why do you feel this way?" Little Redfish asked
"Do you know Master Hall?"
"Master Hall? Of course I recognize, he's the Elder of the Adventurer's Base. ”
"Since you know Master Hall, you must know about his expulsion, right?"
Little Redfish nodded.
"Do you think that with the power of the city lord alone, you can expel a high-ranking and powerful elder?"
When I said this, I was serious in tone.
Little Red Fish responded to me with a serious expression, he pondered for a moment and said, "No." ”
"So," I continued, "Eri City, who is the biggest except for the Adventurer Base?" ”
"The City Lord of Eri City" Little Red Fish said.
"How are people who can't even be expelled from the city by the city lord?" My expression became more serious: "Unless ......"
"Unless it's an expulsion order from the adventurer's base," Little Redfish squinted.
"That's right, there is only one possibility, but Master Hall was not expelled from the adventurer's base, nor did he receive any expulsion orders, but he still chose to leave Eri City, then, there is only one possibility."
"You mean" Little Red Fish paused and said, "He left on his own initiative?" ”
I nodded: "He left on his own initiative, but I still don't understand, why did he leave?" ”
Turning to the little red fish, I continued: "Achilles can't threaten him, the city lord of Eri City doesn't dare to touch him, the city lord's son is also very jealous of him, and assassination is absolutely impossible, unless Eri City intends to break with Vicky Castle, but why, he, with his unshakable status, still insists on leaving?" ”
"Perhaps, because of some ulterior things......"
"Don't take the topic away, Master Hall is a very strict self-disciplined man."
"It's you who want to be crooked," Little Red Fish smiled, "I mean, irresistible force." ”
"An irresistible force?" Frowning, I pondered: What kind of power is irresistible, even the elders?
Perhaps, if you want to know the truth, only Master Hall will say it himself, but is he willing to say it?
The dwarf figure in my mind and the dodgy glance he gave me when I mentioned it.
Forget it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridgehead.
The priority is not to find out about that, but - "Can you help me get in touch with Achilles?" ”
Little Red Fish looked surprised: "Oh, he's a big man, he's a hero of Eri City~"
Listening to his yin and yang weird tone, he definitely didn't see Achilles as a hero.
"If you can, call him, I'll have something to do with him."
Sitting alone in the ruins, feeling the desolation, and at the same time, feeling the hatred.
Hate this thing, it's funny.
Because of hatred, people will be impulsive, because of hatred, people will be strong, because of hatred, people will wither, wither faster.
But if there is revenge, it must be avenged.
Soon, steady footsteps came, heavy and powerful.
"Coming?"
I looked up and looked indifferently.
A pair of eyes, like stars, can't hide even the night.
"Why are you here?" A deep voice sounded from the throat of the person in front of him.
"Why can't I come?" Taking a sip of wine and exhaling lightly, I continued: "This was originally my home, from here to there, it is, the place where I am sitting now is my original room, and it is also the room where Phoenix and I used to ......"
"But now, this place is a barren ruin," Achilles said, his voice tinged with an unknown flavor, as if angry as if excited.
Leaning against a ruined wall, I said lightly, "Why is this happening?" ”
"Because of the fire......" Achilles' voice was low.
"Because of the fire, brawls and crazy destruction" Little Red Fish said slowly: "Dozens of guilds, in order to show their strength, choose to start a war here, and then ......"
"Shut up!" Achilles shouted, his voice was not loud, and the little red fish had to shut up.
"Where are you?" Raising the bottle, I shook it at Achilles.
"What?" Achilles asked, staring at me with fists clenched.
"I said where are you?" I said lightly: "The hero of Eri City, the squire of the legendary hero, the unrivaled Achilles, where were you when dozens of rogue adventurer guilds wreaked havoc on my home in order to show their strength?" ”
Glancing at the little red fish, I suddenly wanted to laugh, so I smiled: "Could it be that a man who has gone through thousands of years still can't get rid of the shackles of the world and has fallen into a gentle country?" ”
"You, don't, nonsense!" He clenched his fists, and the momentum in his eyes continued to rise, as if he was about to punch me to death in the next second.
Still lifting the bottle, I pointed to a raised remnant stone for him: "Oh, sit there, I have something to say." ”
"If you have something to say," Achilles exhaled heavily and let go of his fists.
"Sit down, and speak," I said lightly.
After a few quick breaths, Achilles finally calmed the anger in his chest, frowned, and sat down where I pointed.
"Regarding the destruction of the house, I will not pursue it in particular, because there is no need, they all have to die anyway, all of them" Putting the wine bottle aside, I stared at Achilles and said: "I came to you today for several purposes, first, I want to know, what kind of experiment is this kid Carter Scott doing now." ”
"I don't know," Achilles shook his head, "he never allowed me to step into the lab, he only told me to stand guard at the door. ”
