Chapter 1616 Lost

Jin Siqi was very young, and with her strength and talent, she was appreciated by the president of the Rose Legion Airey City branch, and was appointed captain of the third team of the Rose Legion Airey City branch.

And for a period of time, I had the honor to accompany the branch president and attend the joint representative conference of the Adventurers Guild in Airui City several times.

The Joint Congress of Adventurers Guilds in Airy City has a very lofty name, and the list of attendees is also quite luxurious. Except for the five major guilds, they are all large guilds in Airy City and powerful medium-sized guilds that are quite influential in the local area. .

Uninformed people may think that this is a reflection of the importance that Airui City attaches to adventurers, and it convenes such a meeting just to discuss important matters that only adventurers can solve in a more fair, just and open manner.

But this is not the case.

This type of meeting is not used to discuss matters, but is a means used by the Lord of Airui City to restrain the Adventurer's Guild.

At every meeting, the Lord of Airui City would announce some things, establish some rules, and punish some guild leaders who violated the rules.

Jin Siqi clearly remembers that there was once a large-scale guild leader who was related to both the Iron Wolf Guild and the Golden Flame Guild. Just because he questioned a certain rule of the city lord at the conference, he was dragged out and put in jail. Not long after, he was exposed. He died, and his guild also fell apart due to the death of the president.

Duan Duan, a large and powerful guild, collapsed just because of this incident and could not get back up again.

Since then, Jin Siqi has developed a strong fear of those in power, especially those at the king level.

No wonder when she saw the orc queen, she was so panicked that she was trembling and at a loss. She wanted to escape from here immediately.

It turns out that all of this was indirectly caused by the city lord of Airui City.

Although this guy wanted to establish his authority, he indirectly caused a psychological shadow on my fiancée, which I cannot forgive.

I have never been a generous person. I will keep this account in my heart. When the day when Airui City is breached, when I stand in front of you, it will be time to settle the account.

The banquet lasted until late at night, during which all the dignitaries came over one by one to chat and drink with me.

The people with the highest status here are none other than the old Duke and Prime Minister Lesta.

The two of them were not only distinguished in status, but also very old. I didn’t dare to clink glasses and drink like I did with other people. I just had a symbolic drink with them. After that, I ordered someone to change the two of them to tea, and replaced the wine with tea. I continued drinking and talking.

The wine culture is like this. Whether you use tea instead of wine or actually drink alcohol, as long as you drink something, it will be easier to talk and discuss things, and even the mood during chatting will become happier and different.

While drinking tea, the old Duke kept praising my young hero. He is courageous, courageous, and thoughtful. He dares to fight, kill, and do things. He will definitely become His Majesty's humerus in the future and make immortal contributions.

I smiled with a smile on my face, said yes again and again, and drank frequently, drinking faster than he drank tea.

Prime Minister Lesta had been holding the wine glass and watching silently, neither drinking nor speaking.

When the old Duke drank too much, he smiled and said, "You surprised me."

I smiled and said helplessly: "Your Majesty has high expectations for me. I have to remain silent all the time, which violates my duty as a minister and also fails to live up to His Majesty's expectations."

Lesta shook his head and said calmly: "Your decision-making is very good, and I appreciate it too. The surprise I am talking about is not about the decision-making, but about the ideas. I have always believed that adventurers are mostly straightforward in their ideas and do not mince words. Not to mention being cunning and unpredictable, I have to say that your suggestions today refreshed my horizons."

I didn't know what he meant, so I frowned and said, "Did the junior have offended the senior in some way?"

Lesta shook his head again and said: "It has nothing to do with offense, I'm just surprised and a little emotional."

After that, he raised his glass and drank it all.

I stared at it for a moment, and without asking any more questions, I drank it all in one gulp.

On the way back, I was worried and puzzled.

Jin Siqi leaned against me and asked softly: "What's wrong with you? You look unhappy?"

I said 'hmm', pondered for a while, turned my head and asked, "Tell me, what did Prime Minister Lesta mean by what he said today?"

Jin Siqi thought for a while and said, "Maybe I feel a little disappointed after seeing the rise of young handsome men."

"It's that simple?"

"How complicated can it be?" Jin Siqi said: "During the days when I was the captain, I would occasionally see some talented newcomers. Every time I saw their rapid progress, I would feel disappointed, lest I One day I will be overtaken by them, sometimes I have too many thoughts, and I may even lose sleep."

"Uh, insomnia?" I laughed and said, "That's an exaggeration. I lose sleep just because of such a trivial matter."

"Perhaps this is a small thing in your opinion, but it is not to me," Jin Siqi said. "I have no life experience and no background. I climbed to the position of captain of the Rose Army purely by relying on my personal ability and good performance." , to me, ability and strength mean everything. If I lose any one of them, I may lose my position as captain, so when I see the players develop their potential and become powerful quickly, I feel such a strong sense of loss. .”

After hearing this, I raised the corners of my lips, smiled slyly, and said, "Do you still feel like this now?"

"No more." She held my arm and said with a happy face, "The only thing I have now is no longer ability and strength, but a good fiancé."

This is a very simple love sentence, but it makes my heart move.

After breakfast the next day, I sent her to the guild. When I went out, I happened to run into Harold.

Harold still looked like a tough guy, and when he saw me, he greeted me enthusiastically.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Harold said: "Do you have anything to do later? Let's catch up on old times."

I smiled slightly and said, "No problem, let's chat in Cecil's Tea House."

After that, we said goodbye, he was busy with his business, and I slowly went to Cecil Teahouse.

Before they even entered the gate, they saw Cecil and Jiemei Tachibana cuddling with each other inside, as close as they could get.

I chuckled, stepped in, and said, "You two are making love to each other in broad daylight, abusing dogs in all kinds of ways, it's a bit too much."

The two of them were immersed in their happy world when they suddenly heard someone interrupting. Cecil became anxious and without turning his head, he angrily yelled: "Throw it out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ju Jiemei covering her mouth with her small hands, her face full of panic, so she turned around with an inexplicable expression and locked her eyes on my face. In an instant, he was also stunned.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Cecil let out a ghostly scream, leaned up, and fell to the ground with his chair, screaming in pain.

Ju Jiemei looked excited, jumped down from the chair, bowed to me, and said: "It turns out to be a benefactor here. I am not welcomed from afar, but I hope you will forgive me."

On the side, a dozen waiters were waiting to throw me out of the teahouse. Seeing this scene, they all stood there blankly, looking at each other.
