Chapter 1542 Not Worthy of Being a City Lord

"Perhaps you are curious as to why I became Carter Rodney's backstage" I said calmly: "Speaking of it, you may not believe that all of this was originally just an accident, and it could even be regarded as a joke. It was an accident, but it was precisely because of this accident and a series of accidents that followed that I was pushed to the position of Rodney backstage."

"Perhaps you are curious about why I firmly recommended Rodney, a guy who seems to have no ambitions." I smiled slightly and said, "Actually, there is a reason."

"Although the political situation in Airui City is unstable today, the overall situation is still determined. No matter how many complaints the people have, when asked who is the only royal family in Airui City, they will all answer with one voice: the Carter family, a century-old tree with deep roots. , as long as the Carter family is not completely extinct, there will still be people who support the descendants of his family as the Lord of Airey City." Sipping my wine, I continued: "As I said before, Carter Rodney, although He has no ambition, but he is a man who values ​​love and justice, and is righteous. Having him as the city lord will be a blessing to the people, so I will support him."

"Now that I have supported Rodney, I naturally don't want to see anyone else become the Lord of Airui City again. Do you understand what I mean?"

Achilles frowned, and a touch of determination appeared on his hard-lined face: "I will not kill the descendants of the Carter family."

"What if he is not a descendant of the Carter family?" I said calmly: "Are you willing to kill him, for Rodney's sake?"

"For Rodney, for Carter Rodney." After muttering a few words, he nodded slowly and said, "If he is not a descendant of the Carter family, I will kill him."

"Very good," I said, "Since you, as a servant of the legendary hero, have said so, I will believe you for once and you can stay."

"Stay?" Achilles looked confused.

"Yes," I said, "If you don't stay, where else can you go? Is it possible that you still plan to return to Airui City?"

Achilles shook his head slightly frustrated: "I have made it clear to Carter Scott that I will neither interfere with him nor follow him anymore, so I will definitely not be able to return to Airei City."

"Isn't that right?" I chuckled: "Since you can't go back to Airui City, where can you go? Don't forget, you still have the reputation of killing foreigners."

Achilles shook his head again and said: "A few big towns may not be able to accommodate me, but the Zephyr Continent is so big that a few big towns can't cover it all. As long as I find a place to hide, I can still feel at ease." To get by.”

"What about your idea of ​​protecting Carter Rodney?" I sneered, "You must have forgotten all about it in the blink of an eye."

"How could I forget!" Achilles said angrily: "It is my lifelong duty to protect the descendants of the Carter family!"

"Since it's your duty, don't leave." I said calmly: "Stay and accept my arrangement. Don't worry, I won't treat you as a thug. You are still a free man. You can do whatever you like. It's just you. I want to restrict the scope of action a little bit."

"Restrain me?" Achilles sneered: "Why do you restrain me? Can you restrain me?"

"It's naturally impossible to rely on force, so I plan to let you restrain yourself."

"Why should I restrain myself?" Achilles said coldly.

"In order for me to find you, and for Rodney to reappear in this world one day, you can become a city wall to protect him from wind and rain, protect him, and take back for him what once belonged to him!"

Achilles stared at me, his breathing became faster and faster, he clenched his fists, and his strong aura shook the whole room. After a while, his expression calmed down, and his aura quickly weakened: "Okay, I listen to you. of."

"That's right," I said with a smile, "I hope you can keep your promise and don't run around. Only in this way can you have the opportunity to become Rodney's sharp sword at the first opportunity and look down on the entire city of Airei."

Achilles was silent, just like before. He was silent for a long time, so long that I even felt drowsy. Finally, he raised his head and said unshakably: "I have a request."

"explain."

"I want to see Carter Rodney and Carter Eva to make sure they are still alive!"

Achilles' words were firm and unquestionable.

I smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I will arrange for you to meet them early tomorrow morning. After meeting, you will act according to my rules, okay?"

"Okay" Achilles said solemnly.

That night, I quietly sneaked into the New Brave Guild and secretly met Jin Siqi. Naturally, I was overjoyed to see her again after a long absence. If it weren't for the fact that I wasn't married, I wouldn't have stayed up all night.

However, even though we didn’t do anything secretive, we still cuddled together and talked for most of the night.

In the early morning of the next day, I quietly slipped out of the New Valiant Guild and came to the door of the small villa where Rodney and Eva lived. I rang the doorbell and waited for a long time before Rodney rubbed his sleepy eyes and took a breath. The door opened.

"Hey," I bared my teeth and said, "Good morning."

"Xiaoyi!" The moment Rodney saw me clearly, he lost his sleepiness and was surprised: "Why are you here? Come on, come on in. Let's talk!"

"There's no rush to talk." I waved my hand and said, "I have something to do with you and your sister now. Wake up your sister too. Let's change clothes together. I'll take you two to meet someone."

"Meeting someone?" Rodney scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Who is it?"

"You'll know when you get there." I slowly closed the door and warned again: "Oh, by the way, dress better and don't make it look like I've wronged you both."

Soon, the two of them changed their clothes, and then I took them out of the villa area and walked all the way around to the restaurant where Achilles was.

"Xiao Yi, I haven't seen my brother for so long, I thought you had forgotten about me!" Rodney said with excitement.

"Forget you?" I chuckled and shook my head: "Impossible. You are the future Lord of Airui City. I will still hold your thigh in the future. How can I forget you."

"Cough, Lord of Airui City," Rodney said awkwardly, "Don't belittle me. Look at me, I don't look like a city lord. Even Eva looks more like a city lord than me."

I turned my head, looked at Rodney's biological sister up and down, and couldn't help but curl my lips.

"What are you doing?" Eva was very unhappy and said angrily: "Are you questioning my royal bloodline?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood." I shook my head and said, "I didn't question your royal blood. I was just interested in hearing Rodney say that you are more like a city lord than him."

"Do you think that I am not suitable to be the city lord?" Eva gritted her silver teeth and said slowly: "Or are you saying that I am not worthy to be the city lord?"
