Chapter 1263: Status

As an old homebody of more than 20 years, I have long lost interest in things like going out to see the world. It would be more practical to have a grand and lively wedding and have more children.

The premise is that the war is over and I am still alive.

Master Dewey told me that these magic airships are not yet online for use. Judging from the current situation, they will not be used publicly for the time being, at least until the end of the war.

Although it cannot be used publicly, it can be used privately.

After all, before it was provided for use by various countries, its authority was limited to Master Dewey. As an only son, I naturally enjoyed the same treatment.

"There are still some that are still under construction," Master Dewey said. "Because they are not finished products, I won't show them to you yet."

"That's fine." I breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, we had dinner together, during which time we met Raphael. Raphael looked at me with a solemn expression. He stared at my head for a long time, and finally said this: "I know a friend who has a special prescription for treating acute baldness." .”

If he hadn't been Master Dewey's dedicated physician, I would have killed him on the spot.

After staying one night in Fort Vicky, I took a magic airship and went to the city of Lying Airi alone.

Today's Ai Rui City has long lost the prosperity of the past, replaced by endless hustle and bustle.

Groups of rogue adventurers are constantly hanging out in custom shops, taverns and restaurants.

The streets were no longer filled with the aroma of vegetables and tea, only the strong smell of wine and disgusting wanton laughter.

Looking at the drunken adventurers passing by, as well as the drunken men and women on the street, I knew that this was no longer a prosperous town, but a tomb.

Everyone walking there, laughing and having fun is a lonely soul in this grave.

No dreams, no hope, just wandering between wine and sex, like a walking corpse.

Walking slowly along the street, when I passed my original home, I realized that it was already deserted.

It's not that the house is empty, but that the whole neighborhood is empty.

Apart from the deep foundation holes, there were only broken wooden boards scattered randomly.

Sadness came from my heart, and I couldn't help but sigh: "It's really desolate."

"Then how can it not be desolate?" A rather charming-sounding male voice sounded.

My body trembled and goosebumps fell all over the floor.

"It's you?"

When I saw the person coming, I couldn't help but be surprised.

"it's me."

A middle-aged man dressed coquettishly looked at me with a smile.

"Little Red Fish, that's the name."

"That's right." He walked over with a smile, threw it away, and something dark flew over.

Seeing that there was no murderous intent, I caught it and looked at the light: "Wine?"

"As for me, I never like to invite guests to drink outside." He said with a smile on his face and bright eyes, "But you are an exception."

He opened the cork and took a sip: "I'm not your guest."

"That's my friend~"

I shuddered again, took a deep breath and said, "Good wine."

"It's aged wine." The little red fish made an orchid finger shape with his hand and pointed at the wine bottle: "It has been stored for more than a hundred years~ The last person who drank this wine was the former city lord~"

"It's so expensive, why do you give it to me to drink?"

"How many men are there in this world who can ride on a magic airship at will?" Little Red Fish narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"I see." Sitting cross-legged on the ground, I took another sip of wine: "You also have eyes and ears on the magic airship. It seems that you are very powerful."

"I just have good ears and eyes." The little red fish came over, looked at the ground, frowned, and finally did not sit down: "Your Majesty is the real one, with great magical powers!"

He said the last four words very seriously.

It is undeniable that Master Dewey, regardless of his eyes, ears, or power, has already had his hands on the entire continent.

"You know a lot," I praised with a smile.

"Thank you," said the little red fish, "You must be here to meet Achilles, right?"

I raised my eyebrows: "You know?"

"I guessed it," he said with a smile.

"Guess what I want from him?"

The little red fish thought for a moment and said, "It's for the war, right?"

"Oh?" I smiled: "You even know about war?"

"Of course I know," he chuckled, "Not only do I know there is a war, but I also know who will start it."

"who is it?"

"Second Young Master."

I looked solemn: "How do you know?"

"Don't look at me with such a scary look." The little red fish scolded and said, "Have you forgotten what I do?"

"The owner of the custom shop," I said.

"That's right," said the little red fish: "All the custom shops in Airui City are my business. Do you know what this means?"

"Are you a very rich boss?"

"No," he said with a smile: "Every customer who comes to my store has no secrets here."

He said and took a step slowly: "Among my guests, there are poor people who work hard to make money, civilians who run businesses, adventurers who make money from monsters, and nobles who exploit the people. Even the current city lord and Several of his sons are also my customers."

"Some people are very loose-mouthed and just answer questions when asked. Some people are very strict-mouthed and need some means," the little red fish said, glancing at the wine bottle in my hand.

"With wine?" I asked.

"Use wine," he said, "but I don't need the kind you drink, just good wine. Because wine can add to the fun. The customers who come to my business never choose wine, just for pleasure."

"That Carter Scott kid is very gloomy, but once he's drunk, he talks a lot, which is annoying."

"But, for my friends~" His eyes kept lingering on me, as if he was looking at a piece of art: "I still endure it."

After shuddering, I said, "Just for me?"

"No, not exactly," said the little red fish: "It's also for myself, my livelihood, and my business."

I don’t understand anymore: “What does your livelihood have to do with me?”

"Of course it does matter," said the little red fish, "because I think you will become the future master of Airui City."

"You're kidding, I'm just an ordinary adventurer."

"I'm not wrong," said the little red fish: "Although I was not born beautiful, although I have many shortcomings, there is one thing I am proud of, my vision."

He breathed softly: "I have never been wrong, including the first time I met you. I was sure that you would be a unique person, regardless of courage or means."

"I know you have a lot of women," said the little red fish, "but you don't have a lot of fine wine."

I raised the bottle and said, "This is indeed the best wine I have ever drunk."

"That's right," said the little red fish, "there is no better wine in the world now."

"I don't like drinking, but this is an exception. Just tell me. Whatever you want, I will give it to you."

"I only want one promise," said the little red fish: "One day, you will become the king of Airui City and you cannot ban my custom business."

"This is for you, do you have any more?"

"There is still a title." He narrowed his eyes slightly, and bursts of cold light shot out from his eyes, but it was not directed at me, but at the magnificent city lord's mansion at the end of the street.
