Chapter 1608 Discussion

Using a weak body to plot against a powerful person.

If this is the case, this Carter Scott is no ordinary person.

Should he be included in the list of those who must be eliminated?

After all, he has left Airui City, and the national forces hiding in the city should be too late to rescue him.

As long as there is no interference from state power, I am confident enough to kill him.

The simplest and most direct way is to assemble a group of powerful elite adventurers from the dwarf guild, sneak into the dense forest, find Carter Scott, and eliminate him.

If they are discovered, they will say that there are fugitives who have entered the dense forest and are trying their best to eliminate them.

In this way, even if Airey City finds Carter Scott's body, they may not be able to retaliate - they have no conclusive evidence.

In the absence of conclusive evidence, one can only doubt but not take action, otherwise, it will trigger a war.

I very much hope that this time can lead to a war.

Compared with arresting fugitives, straying into the dense forest, and messing around, bearing injustice, the former is more righteous and can arouse the sympathy of the world.

Waging a war under the guise of justice will not only reflect the wishes of one's own people, but also destabilize the enemy's people.

In this way, before the battle begins, Airei City will lose first.

Once the war breaks out between Fort Vicky and Airey City, I will definitely try my best to get Moonlight City and Darcy City to join the war.

Regardless of whether York and Seoul participated in the war, it didn't matter whether it was an enemy or a friend. Anyway, even if it values ​​​​love and righteousness, unites with Airui City, and shares the same hatred, it cannot reverse the inevitable defeat of the war.

If Ai Rui City can be defeated miserably in this battle, the day will not be far from when I support Carter Rodney to ascend the throne of Ai Rui City's city lord.

Thinking of this, I was so excited that I wanted to give orders directly to the Dwarf Guild.

As soon as I took out the call crystal, I stopped.

At that moment, a line of small words floated through my mind. It was a little messy but still legible: traveling with him were twenty-four elite adventurers from the Golden Flame Guild.

After pondering for a long time, he put the calling crystal into his arms again.

No, we can't take this risk.

I can't take risks easily until I find out the specific identities of the twenty-four elite adventurers.

He threw the first secret letter on the coffee table and then picked up the second secret letter.

The second secret letter seemed more formal. It clearly stated the name of the recipient and the rough address of the sender, Dasay City.

Seeing that it was a secret message from Dashai City, Cagalli came over and pretended to lean on my shoulder, but in reality she squinted and peeked.

Without exposing her, I unfolded the letter and read it openly.

The content of the letter is very simple. I hope I can return to Dashai City within three days. The name of the sender is marked at the bottom, Lesta.

It's a letter from the prime minister of Dasai City.

Seeing that there was no more content, I couldn't help but frown and turned it over. The back of the letter was blank, not to mention handwriting, not even a drop of ink.

"Uh" I couldn't understand what he meant. I handed the two secret letters to Yura in distress and asked her to help me deal with them.

Cagalli also stood up, pretended to stretch her waist, and ran to Emily's side to sit down.

I held my chin and thought for a long time, considering whether to call Dashai City first and ask about the situation before making any plans.

While I was thinking, the kitchen door opened, and the proprietress and others came out with steaming meals.

After dinner, I walked slowly into the backyard, where Taylor was sitting in a rocking chair enjoying the coolness of the night.

I picked up a place where the grass was relatively lush, sat down cross-legged, and recited the contents of the two superstitious letters as if talking to myself.

The old man listened and had no reaction.

I said: "Can you please help me as a reference? Is my guess right or wrong? Also, should I ask about the situation first and then go to Dashai City to meet up?"

Taylor still closed his eyes, remained silent for a while, and slowly said: "Carter Horton is so shrewd, how could he not know about his second son? I am afraid that at least one of the twenty-four elites will be lurking in the country. Strength, you didn’t choose to attack rashly, that’s good.”

He paused and continued: "As for Dashai City, it's better not to ask, just go there."

"Isn't this unprepared?"

"Since Lesta sent you a secret message, doesn't it mean that Dasha City is in an ulterior crisis?" Taylor said slowly: "Everyone here implies that the matter being discussed is of an ulterior nature. You called me over there to ask, are you trying to make Lesta and others look down on your political consciousness?"

"It turns out there is such a hidden meaning," I said respectfully, "I've learned a lesson."

After a few seconds of silence, the old man said again: "When I get to Dasai City, when I ask your opinion, try to be as vague as possible."

"Why is this?" I asked puzzled.

Taylor said slowly: "They are all veterans, only you are a rookie. Many of your words are not mature enough and cannot withstand scrutiny. Besides, I think calling you to negotiate matters is just a show to the many aristocratic dignitaries in Dashai City. As for the matter of negotiating with you, I am afraid that it has already been finalized before the secret message is sent."

Hearing this, I felt conflicted and said displeasedly: "They are all hypocritical enough."

"Hypocrisy?" Taylor chuckled and said, "This is their way to appease the nobles, and it is also their way to win over the people."

I raised my eyebrows: "Call me over and go through the motions, can you appease the nobles and win over the people?"

"Yes," Taylor said with a smile, "You were born as a commoner, but because of your outstanding performance in the Zephyr Competition and your great contribution in wiping out underground organizations, you were promoted to the prime minister of Dashai City, becoming a powerful minister under one person and above all people. , in Dashai City, you can be said to be a star, shining in all directions. You hang high in the sky. Everyone looks up to you, stares at you, and longs for you. No matter the common people or the nobles, they all regard you as a benchmark and respect you. At the same time, you are also their yardstick, a yardstick used to measure whether the city lord abides by his honest promises. Once the state-owned decision-making fails to inform you, the city lord's integrity and status in the hearts of the people will decline. On the contrary, the people will support the city lord even more. "

"So that's what happened." I chuckled and said, "It seems that my puppet prime minister is quite useful."

"In your position, you should bear your responsibilities." Taylor said slowly: "As the prime minister of Dashai City, you don't need to go to court every day to discuss matters, and you can still receive your salary on time. This is already a great tolerance for you by the city lord, so don't complain. Too much."

"That's true." I nodded and said, "The prime minister's salary is quite high, and it is enough to support the operation of a large guild. It doesn't matter, a puppet is a puppet. Anyway, I won't lose anything. I will set off early tomorrow morning. .”

Finally, I stood up, wiped the grass clippings off my body, and asked again: "What do you think I should bring with me tomorrow?"

Taylor said leisurely: "A knife is enough."
