Chapter 1609 Lord Lesta Is Right
As morning approached, I left a note, quietly went out, boarded the magic airship, and rushed to Dashai City.
The airship arrived at Dasay City in the afternoon of the same day.
After getting off the airship, I hurried to the palace.
Traveling smoothly, we came to the Orc King.
The Orc King chatted with me for a while, and after setting a time for the meeting, he invited me to the dinner.
To put it bluntly, this dinner was just to show the attitude of the nobles and powerful officials. It didn't matter whether I participated or not, so I refused the hypocritical banquet on the grounds that I was tired from the journey and felt sleepy.
After leaving the palace, I rushed to the New Brave Guild first, signaling to the guards that there was no need to report. I tiptoed to the door of Jin Siqi's office, wanting to push the door open and scare her.
Clinker, the door is locked
Awkward.
After a few knocks, the door opened, and Jin Siqi's slightly tired face appeared in front of me. But when she saw that it was me, her face immediately glowed with a surprised smile, and she said: "You are here, why didn't you inform me first."
I chuckled and said, "I want to give you a surprise."
After entering the office, Jin Siqi made me a new pot of tea, then sat down next to me and looked at me closely, refusing to look away for a moment.
I laughed and said, "What's wrong?"
With a smile on her lips, she said foolishly: "Let me see if you have become younger or more handsome."
"How can I get younger and younger?" I smiled: "Unless I am the God of Creation, I will only get older and older."
"It's mature," Jin Siqi said.
"Yes, it's maturity."
After looking at each other in silence for a long time, I asked, "How have you been lately?"
"Fortunately," she said with a smile, "The guild is running normally. It won't be long before we can officially join the ranks of large guilds."
"The guild's success today is all due to you," I said, "but compared to the guild, I care more about how you are doing."
After saying that, he gently touched the girl's cheek and sighed: "It's only been a while, but I've already lost weight."
Jin Siqi's cheeks turned red and she whispered, "You won't look good if you are fat."
"Nonsense" I held her little face in my hands and said emotionally: "My An Xiaoyi's fiancee, no matter whether she is fat or thin, in my eyes, she is the most beautiful woman in the world."
Jin Siqi was so embarrassed that she lowered her head. After more than ten seconds, she struggled slightly, broke away from my hand, and said angrily: "It's in the guild, don't make trouble."
I chuckled mischievously: "After leaving the guild, I can just make trouble~"
She hit my chest and said, "It won't work even after leaving the guild. When will the marriage be completed? When will the marriage be completed?"
The voice became smaller and smaller, and finally it was a tinny mosquito buzz. Even if we were only a fist away from each other, we couldn't hear what she was mumbling at all.
But I know what she means.
"Okay, let's wait until after we get married." I chuckled.
I secretly muttered in my heart: "War, let's start it as soon as possible and end it as soon as possible!"
After having an ambiguous and romantic candlelight dinner with Jin Siqi, I rested with her in the villa of the Fearless Guild.
After one night, I got up early, bought a hot breakfast, and knocked on the door of Jin Siqi's room. Her lazy, smooth voice came out: "Come in."
It seems that he just woke up.
Opening the door, she was lying on the bed with a sleepy face, her hair was disheveled, and she didn't look like the shrewd and capable president she was yesterday.
After lazily stretching her waist, Jin Siqi looked refreshed and said, "I slept well."
"That's good." I smiled and put the breakfast bag on the bedside table, took out the bowls and plates one by one, arranged them, handed over a pair of chopsticks, and said: "Eat, hot breakfast, and this - —”
He handed over a quite large paper cup with a straw on it: "Fresh orange juice at a moderate temperature, freshly squeezed, very fresh."
First, she drank half a glass of fresh orange juice in one sip and burped loudly. With a satisfied expression on her face, Jin Siqi began to eat the food without any image.
Looking at her expressionless eating expression with a smile, a sense of solidity arose spontaneously.
Nine o'clock in the morning, Dasai City Palace, conference hall.
The Beastman King, Lesta and other dignitaries sat around the table with me to discuss important national affairs.
Because of Mr. Taylor's teachings, I pretended to listen carefully, but in fact, my mind was not on the discussion at all.
There are many issues this time. The first and most important one is the incident of a mine being stolen.
This mine is not within the borders of Dashai City, but at the junction of Dashai City, Airui City and York and Hancheng.
It is a natural mine that Dashai City spent a lot of money to purchase.
The cave is rich in coal and iron ore, and a large amount of it is mined every year. It can be said that it is a very promising part of the income from many industries in Dashai City.
Just four days ago, a team of unidentified adventurers suddenly launched an attack while passing by the mine. Not only did they kill the workers in the mine, but they also took the mine as their own.
The killing of citizens is an outrageous thing, and the occupation of mines is a challenge to the authority of the country.
The Orc King was very angry and was about to order troops to encircle and suppress him, but Lesta stopped him.
The reason is very simple. It is best not to send troops rashly before you find out the identity of the other party. If the other party is really an ordinary wandering adventurer, or a bandit and robber, it would be better, or you can give them some money, bring them into the country, and divide them. , or send troops to encircle and suppress. Although some manpower may be lost, the result will be clean and will not leave any trouble.
But if the other party is not a wandering adventurer, but is assigned by someone, it will be troublesome.
No one knows who their boss behind the scenes is, or how many people will be preparing for the war behind them.
The most important thing is that the world is now unstable, and the relationship between Darcy City, Fort Wych and York City is relatively rigid, and these people are very likely to belong to either of the two countries.
Taking action rashly will most likely break the peaceful situation and escalate the situation to a war.
It doesn't matter if we meet each other in war. The trouble lies in whether we have a favorable angle. In the eyes of the world, whether our move is reasonable and whether it is legitimate defense.
Lesta shook his head and said: "I'm just afraid that Ai Ruicheng and York Hancheng will jointly frame us, saying that we are deliberately harming adventurers from other countries in the public domain, and are even suspected of drawing territory as a frontier."
"yes."
"Yes, yes, Lord Lestat is right."
All the dignitaries agreed, thinking that Lestat's idea was correct. Even the Orc King nodded in agreement.
Soon, everyone's eyes were focused on me, the honorary prime minister, and they were looking forward to my answer.
I looked around and said shyly, "Don't look at me like that, I'll be embarrassed."
puff!
One of the dignitaries couldn't hold it back and the tea he just drank in his mouth sprayed all over the floor.
The orc king laughed awkwardly and said, "Xiao Yi, tell me what you think."
"Me?" I pointed to my nose and frowned: "I don't have any opinion. Like you, I also agree with Lesta's words."
"Oh?" The Orc King smiled and said solemnly: "Since you also agree with Lesta's idea, then you can tell me how to implement his suggestions."
