Chapter 1108 A Skinny Camel Is Bigger than a Horse

I smiled at Dewey and the others: "By that time, the purple heart grass business will naturally fall into my hands."

"What a plan, what a plan!" the dwarf king praised.

The Goblin King also laughed: "As expected of the old fox's child."

As he spoke, he did not forget to glance at his brother.

Only Dewey remained silent. He was silent for a moment and said, "Xiao Yi, have you ever thought about what if he refuses to come to you?"

I was startled when I heard this, and said a little unconfidently: "Probably not."

"This situation is very likely to happen." Dewey said: "As you just said, this person is calm and mature. Since his personality is like this, he must not be the kind of person who only leaves a way out for himself. I think except for us, He must have also found reinforcements from several other races."

Hearing what Dewey said, I was immediately stunned: Yes, I actually neglected to explore whether there were other reinforcements during this trip. What a big oversight!

Dewey said: "If my guess is correct, he must have placed other reinforcements in other places. With these helpers, he will naturally not easily agree to your Purple Heart Grass business."

"Oops, so he just rejected my Purple Heart Grass business?" I stood up suddenly and blurted out.

"Silly boy" Dewey shook his head and laughed: "Are you panicking now? How about your composure?"

"Uh" I sat back down in the chair embarrassedly and said sarcastically, "I'm sorry, godfather, it's just that my temperament is unstable and I still need to temper it."

Dewey nodded and said: "It's good to know, but xinxing is not something that can be acquired in a day or two. It needs to be tempered slowly. You are only in your twenties now, which is the age when your xinxing is unstable. It's okay to get excited occasionally. Understood.”

I nodded in agreement, my face even more apologetic and respectful than before.

"Huh?" Dewey suddenly asked curiously: "Xiao Yi, you seem to be a little different from when you left here?"

"Is there any?" I raised my head and asked in confusion.

"There is a difference." The Goblin King also sensed some clues.

"Yes." The dwarf king also nodded: "It seems that he is more humble."

"Yes, it's humility," Dewey said: "Before he left, he was surrounded by a constant hostility. No matter what happened to people or things, he would always be dissatisfied or angry. This time, when he came back, there was not much of his hostility left, and his character became humble. Many respects, Xiaoyi, do you have any insights from this trip?"

"Yes," I said, "What I learned most about during this trip was the battle between President Steel Hammer and Clayton. The two were evenly matched, and their strength was beyond the reach of a young newcomer like me. But here When I fought with Clayton before, I even tried to drag him to death with my current strength and practical experience. Thinking about it now, I still feel ridiculous and pathetic."

"Well, okay!" The Dwarf King was the first to speak: "Knowing your own shortcomings, reflecting on them, and correcting them is the most important thing in becoming a strong person. Xiaoyi, I am optimistic about you!"

"You're right," Dewey said, "Xiaoyi, you finally see your shortcomings clearly. I'm very happy. The pathetic and ridiculous person you just mentioned was just you a few days ago, not you now. I hope In the future, you can correct your shortcomings, continue to make progress, and strive to become a strong person as soon as possible."

"Yes!" I said respectfully.

"Okay, let's talk about the topic we just didn't finish," Dewey said: "Although the Lord of Leicester did not agree to your suggestion, he will definitely not refuse your request because he does not understand your character yet, lest he Rejection will force you to become enemies with him, like that kind of old fox, who is usually a friend who would rather be unhelpful than a stumbling block who hates himself more."

"What do you think he will do?" I asked.

"Delay" Dewey said: "He will try his best to delay this matter. As long as you still need the purple heart grass business, he will keep delaying it."

"By doing this, isn't he afraid that I will give up the purple heart grass business?" I asked confused.

"If you hadn't told the Lord of Leicester that you were going to sell the Purple Heart Grass to the nobles of Airui City, this matter might have been much easier to handle." The Goblin King said, "Because knowing your purpose, the Lord of Leicester would naturally He knows it in his heart, and as long as the Ari City nobles are still there, he will naturally not worry about whether you will give up the purple heart grass business."

"Ah" I said with a look of shame on my face after hearing this, "I didn't think well."

"The matter is over, don't blame Xiao Yi anymore," Dewey said: "Furthermore, if Xiao Yi doesn't reveal his original purpose, the Lord of Leicester may have a greatly discounted view of Xiao Yi, thinking that he is just a person for The young people who seek profit by any means will not be like now, just hanging on to Xiao Yi, but still treating him with courtesy."

"Yes, that's what I taught you," the Goblin King said sincerely.

"Actually, Xiaoyi, you don't have to worry too much," Dewey said, "Since he is still interested in you, it means that you have a certain weight in his heart. As long as you have weight, things will be easy to handle."

Hearing this, I shook my head and said, "Godfather, I don't understand."

"You will understand after listening to my explanation," Dewey said: "I just said that you have weight in the heart of the Lord of Leicester. This is very important. As long as you have weight, you will most likely be used for something in the future. If I want to ask you to help me, I will naturally benefit from you. The amount of this benefit is related to the difficulty of the task I ask you to help complete. Since Yana City is hated by others, its interactions with you in the future will definitely be the same. It won’t be less. Maybe one day, there will be a task that is as difficult as the Purple Heart Grass business and I’ll beg you to do it.”

After listening to Dewey's explanation, I felt a little relieved and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since there is still a chance, it's not too late. As long as it's not a narrow escape, it's worth doing.

After that, I told Dewey and others about my views on the current city of Ai Rui. I thought that since the city of Ai Rui invited the Knights of the Round Table to serve as its resident guild, the Knights of the Round Table must have its unique features. Of course, it is also possible to invite The prince they came to was the same as their president. The two had the same affinity and were naturally attracted to each other.

The three Deweys nodded in agreement, thinking that my analysis was good, but even so, they still cannot underestimate Airui City. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how corrupt and defeated it is, as long as it has not completely collapsed, it must not be underestimated. Underestimate the strength it contains.

I understand this truth, especially when Achilles is still under the second young master, I will definitely not challenge the supreme power of Airui City without knowing the depth. What I have to do now is to make myself stronger and become enough to compete with Achilles. When Lucius confronts him head-on, that's when I start to launch my plan.

The four of us chatted for more than three hours. Finally, we felt a little hungry and came out of the secret room one after another.

After walking out of the secret room, we went straight to the restaurant. On the way, I asked Dewey: "How was the massage you received from Raphael?"

Dewey said with satisfaction: "As expected of the number one doctor in Airei City, his skills are excellent. Didn't you see that I am walking more briskly than usual?"
