Chapter 1674: Assassination Squad
In the dense forest, the breeze blows on the face, and the hair blows loosely, but it can't blow the solemnity between Achilles's eyebrows.
He tightened his eyebrows, his eyes widened, and his voice was low, "What did you say?" ”
"I said, the legend you heard thousands of years ago is true, Moonlight City does have things that seal the power of the God of Creation," I paused, and then said, "Or rather, ten weapons would be more appropriate." ”
After a long silence, Achilles spoke up and questioned: "How do you know?" ”
"The Fairy Empress told me, you don't think she's talking nonsense."
Achilles shook his head: "The fairy queen knows right from wrong, and she has a proper grasp of the importance of it, and she won't just use this kind of thing as a story, but ...... Ay. ”
He sighed deeply, and his expression was like that of an old man who had gone through all the vicissitudes of life and had a haggard heart.
Well, if you count it chronologically, he is really an old man, no, a thousand-year-old demon.
"What's wrong with you?" I wondered, "How can you be like an old man who is dying but worried about the world?" ”
Achilles shook his head and said sadly: "I was thinking that if the goblin emperor back then was willing to use that kind of weapon to save the world, my lord might not be in trouble." ”
I pursed my lips and said, "Well, I don't think you're right. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Your lord may not be in trouble for a while, but it won't be long before your lord will surely die, and not only your lord, but also the people of the Zephyr Continent, I'm afraid they will be in trouble."
"What do you mean by this...... Achilles suddenly realized, he was stunned for a few seconds, and muttered: "It's dangerous, it's dangerous, the fairy emperor is worthy of being the goblin emperor, even if he suffers a great disaster, he can stick to it, thanks to his firm heart and long-term vision, otherwise...... What an immeasurable disaster! ”
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw him so emotional.
The goblin royal family elected the emperor, which naturally considered many conditions, screened out many unqualified people, and finally finalized a person with outstanding talents, long-term vision, and grand ambitions.
Perhaps these best will dilute their revenge, limit their horizons, and even forget the big picture because of the breeding of desire and the passage of time, but they will never violate the bottom line of the race.
They all know very well that even if they are tyrannical, even if they are incompetent, even if they are hedonistic and extravagant, even if they are hedonistic and extravagant, at most they will be scolded by future generations as a faint monarch and tyrant.
But once you touch a weapon with the power of the God of Creation, once you make something wrong, it's not just as simple as being scolded by future generations.
That's the destruction of the country and the extermination of the race, and the sinner of the whole race!
Even if he dies and returns to the God of Creation, he will still be despised and rejected by the dead people, and there will be no peace for eternity.
In this way, which fairy emperor will dare to take risks, dare to be a pioneer, and challenge the legends and clan rules.
Achilles muttered to himself for a long time before wiping his sweat and exhaling lightly.
"Why don't we go inside again?" I tentatively asked, "Take a peek at the honor of those monsters that live in the depths of the Elven Forest, and then wait for an opportunity to test their strength?" ”
Achilles waved his hand again and again, and said: "Forget it, the monsters that can destroy the Zephyr Continent are not something that adventurers like me can match, once I encounter it, I will definitely turn around and run, as for whether you can run or not, it all depends on your creation." ”
Hey, it's really a confession, I don't even care about hypocrisy, and I deserve to be a legendary hero squire who is straightforward.
Then, the two of us continued to wander around the Elven Forest.
Not long after walking, Achilles suddenly stopped, frowned slightly, and said loudly in the southeast direction: "I have been sneaking around like a thief for so long, if there is anything, you might as well stand up and talk about it in the open, it's much better than being a turtle with a shrunken head!" ”
"Huh?" I looked confused, and there were people around me?
Why didn't I find out?!
In a trance, behind a few trees in the southeast, several people flashed out.
These people are men and women, all of them cover their faces and heads, wearing camouflage corsets, only their eyes are exposed, their eyes are as silent as a deep pool, without a trace of waves, and the momentum around them disappears, like bluestones without emotion, no wonder even I, who is very sensitive to breath, also did not perceive their existence.
Seeing several people looking at me in unison, I couldn't help but shudder, subconsciously leaned over to Achilles, and whispered, "These guys are not good." ”
Unexpectedly, Achilles shook his head and said, "No, I didn't feel the slightest hostility towards them. ”
No hostility?
That's easy to do.
I emboldened myself and asked, "Who are you, why are you following us, and for what purpose?" ”
The man closest to me said, "We're from the assassination team. ”
"it!"
As soon as I heard the words 'Assassination Squad', I was so frightened that I jumped back, clenched my fists, entered a state of readiness, and said coldly: "Are you here to assassinate me?" ”
After a pause, I snorted at Achilles again and said, "Or him?" ”
"We're ordered to protect both."
The man's words were like dry bread, tasteless.
I frowned and asked, "Whose order are you on?" ”
"We are ordered by Her Majesty the Fairy Empress to protect the safety of her old grandson-in-law, as well as the legendary heroic attendant, Mr. Achilles."
"Oh?" Raising an eyebrow, I said to Achilles, "Did you bring a weapon?" ”
Achilles nodded.
"That's good," I said, "you look at them, but if there is any abnormal movement, just second, I will talk to the Empress Grandma now, and ask what the situation is." ”
As he spoke, he took out the call crystal and began to practice the fairy queen.
Soon, the call was connected, and I explained the matter to her, and the fairy queen laughed: "I didn't expect to be discovered so soon, that's right, they were sent by me to protect you." ”
"With Achilles by my side, my life will not be in danger," I pouted, "unless the other party appoints a whole team of national forces to assassinate me." ”
The Fairy Empress quipped, "With your current status, you can really afford the price of national power." ”
"Don't scare me, I'm cowardly, the power of the country is a hole card deliberately hidden by the state, how can it be said that the delegation will be delegated, besides, the people who are hostile to me should have found out a long time ago, there is a super strong person like Achilles around me, and they will not send the national power as precious as a treasure to take risks in order to assassinate me."
The Fairy Empress smiled and said, "As far as you kid thinks too much, okay, give the call crystal to the person who is talking to you." ”
I cautiously stepped forward and carefully handed over the call crystal.
The man took the crystal, said a code, and after a few answers, handed the crystal back.
I took the crystal and put it to my ear, and the empress said, "I have explained to them that I will not follow you anymore, but the limelight has been very tight recently, so you have to be more careful." ”
When I heard this, the tone of the words was wrong, and I immediately fell into my heart and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
