Chapter 2085 Achilles’ Troubles
The former legendary hero's attendant, the patron saint of Airei City, the idol of the human race, and the devil in the eyes of other races, Achilles has been having a hard time recently.
Since the last battle, his warlike soul has been activated, and his biggest expectation every day is to fight another strong one.
However, things in the world often backfire. After the war, there was no longer any national power to provoke trouble. He was in a foreign country and it was difficult for him to take the initiative to make a fight.
Ever since, he was even more eager to have a fight to release the depression that had accumulated for a long time.
The thoughts of desire are increasing day by day. In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed. Achilles is about to be driven crazy by the desire to fight. The most intuitive reflection is that when he looks at the passers-by through the window, he always feels an urge. She was tempting him, tempting him to rush out and start a fight with passers-by.
Fortunately, he was determined and knew what he could do and what he couldn't do, so he avoided tragedy.
But, it’s not a problem to always be like this.
When he was in pain, he came to my house, found me, and asked me for help.
"Give me an opponent." Achilles clenched his fists, his face full of ferocity, and his red eyes stared at me, his eyes half pleading and half combative.
"The stronger the better, even if I am killed, I will have no regrets." He loosened his clenched fists, his fingers trembling, grabbed his hair, and rubbed it vigorously.
He loves to be neat and tidy, so he naturally has no dandruff, but his fallen hair has fallen off a dozen strands one after another.
I'm a little worried that if this continues, he will probably go bald before going crazy.
For the sake of his poor hair follicles, I have to think of a way.
After thinking hard for a long time, I looked at Taylor who was sitting quietly drinking.
The old man opened his mouth and shook his head.
I reluctantly withdrew my gaze.
In the guild, except for the old man, no one seems to be Achilles' opponent, including Emily and Bai Yunying.
Now that the old man doesn't want to fight him, what should I do?
These days, it's really hard to find a guy who's evenly matched.
Or, I introduce the King of the Forest to him. There shouldn't be much difference in strength between them, right?
So, I asked Achilles cautiously: "What do you want from the opponent?"
"Strong is enough."
It really fits Achilles' character, simple and direct.
I excitedly took Achilles into the Elf Forest, introduced him to the King of the Forest, and then we had a hearty fight with one bear and one person.
Achilles finally felt relieved, but the King of the Forest was unlucky. The fierce battle between them caused a large area of trees to collapse.
The fallen tree hit the home of the King of the Forest, and there was a loud roar, and the home of the King of the Forest collapsed.
The wife of the king of the forest was so angry that she picked up her bear paw and chased the king of the forest through the forest.
After the domestic violence was over, the King of the Forest's wife came back dragging the King of the Forest with his head full of bruises. This scene shocked Achilles and I.
The king of the forest, who had been beaten, was chopping firewood to build a new house in grievance, while he helplessly spread his hands. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. Let's just let the matter of the battle go, my wife won't let him.
Because of a hearty battle, Achilles' anxious mood gradually stabilized.
At the same time, he felt regretful that he could not have a hearty battle with the King of the Forest again.
I comforted him and said, "There will always be a chance. I will contact him again when his wife calms down."
"Why don't you go to Fort Vicky to have a look?" I suggested: "I have many acquaintances there, and I also know a lot of national forces."
Achilles shook his head and refused frankly: "I don't like living underground."
"How about going to Dashai City?" I made another suggestion: "Although I don't know many national powers there, and I can't guarantee that you can fight against strong human beings, you can join the New Heroic Guild and select elites to fight alone. Lead a team and fight against the powerful monsters in the dungeon. You don’t need to hit all the points, but you can also level up and become stronger. It’s like killing two birds with one stone!”
Achilles stared at me for a moment: "Do you have other plans?"
"Hey hey hey" I scratched my head in embarrassment: "Have you noticed this? Yes, in addition to letting you vent your emotions, I do have my own plans. I might as well tell you that I actually hope to help you. To increase the cohesion of the human race living in Dashai City through its prestige, it is best to gather them together as the backing of the new heroic guild."
"If you do this, will you be suspected of subverting the regime?"
After all, Achilles is a man who has lived for thousands of years. Although he has always been keen on fighting, he has also been slightly involved in political affairs.
"It is not possible to subvert the regime." I shook my head: "The orc king is wise and powerful, and the people of Dasai City are determined to unite. Even if I intend to subvert, I may not be able to do it, let alone that is not my intention."
"As the saying goes, the people are like water, and the king is like a boat. The water can carry the boat and also capsize it. In fact, it is not just the king. Any large-scale organization is also a boat. Without the support of the people, any small boat will be capsized. , At present, the human race in Dashai City has grown to a large scale, and any organization that is supported by the human race will occupy a place in Dashai City. Although it is only a matter of reputation, this is very useful to me. "
"You are not a person who cares about reputation." Achilles stared at me and said slowly.
"You're right," I admitted without hesitation, "but just because you don't pay attention to it doesn't mean you don't need it."
"If one day in the future, the New Heroic Guild is criticized by others, or is ostracized by outsiders, or more seriously, outsiders want to seize and annex it, at this time, if there is a sizable human race that supports it and trusts it, then, Even if the Beastman King intends to target the New Valiant Guild, he has to weigh the consequences and see if he can afford it."
"Are you worried that someone is doing harm to the New Valiant Guild?"
"Yes, there is constant friction between Airui City and Dashai City, and the New Heroic Guild is separated from Airui City. It is likely to be criticized by others. There are also messengers from the Heroic Guild who will come to the door and ask to see the former president. Their intention is Secretly communicating with the music and stealing the power of the guild."
"You don't trust the president of the Valiant Guild?"
"This is not a question of trust or distrust." I shook my head: "Harold is good at fighting but not good at government affairs. Otherwise, he would not be expelled from the guild by his subordinates. I am worried that he will be used by others to do something that he thinks is not good for the guild." It’s a stupid thing that’s helpful, but it’s actually harmful.”
"Even if I join the New Heroic Guild, even if I gather the centripetal force of the human race, it will only improve the overall combat effectiveness of the guild and will not be beneficial to other aspects."
"It's useful, but you haven't thought about this issue." I smiled and said, "For example, if you are willing to support the guild president."
