Chapter 2585 Furious
The dragon moved.
Not only did it move, but it also made an action that caught everyone's surprise.
The giant dragon, which was standing straight on the spot, like a lifeless sculpture, raised its head high in the next second. A second later, with a deafening "Haqie", an unstoppable strong wind enveloped it. Countless crystal water droplets swept towards the guards.
As a personal guard of Simmons Locke, he naturally possesses judgment, adaptability, thinking ability, and agility that are beyond ordinary people. His high strength is so insignificant in the face of a giant dragon.
As the tsunami-like wind swept past, the guards were like fallen leaves in the howling wind, spinning and flying into the distance, and covered the wall one by one on the left and right.
Until then, I heard the voice of the giant dragon, faintly coming from a few steps away: "Huh, this sneeze is finally comfortable. Let's start the duel, huh? Where are the people?"
Everyone present, including me, all had black lines on their heads.
This guy is very good at pretending. I'll give you eighty-two points. The remaining eighteen points will be divided into six, six and six and given to you, so that you won't be proud.
Regardless of how the personal guard was dug out of the wall, the bet between Simmons Locke and Carter Horton ended with Simmons Locke winning.
When Simmons Locke handed the broken page to me, he said to me seriously: "Don't take it too seriously. The Carter family is still needed for the stability of Airy City."
"It doesn't matter who rules." I said puzzledly: "Even if there is no Carter family, you can just find another family to replace it. I believe that as long as it can bring peace to the residents of Airui City and bring peace to the nobles of Airui City, I believe our interests will not be impacted again.”
"What you said makes some sense, but this level of truth is not enough to support a balanced situation." Simmons Locke sighed: "Although it seems on the surface, if any family is in charge of Airui City, as long as it can bring peace and All interests will be welcomed and protected, but the reality is different from the appearance.”
He raised his head, looked out the window, and said slowly: "The reason why our families are able to take charge of the country is not just because they can bring peace and benefits to the country. Even if Carter Scott messed up the city of Airi, Secretly, the people are in ruins, but have you seen any nobles or great nobles with real power trying to pull the Carter family from their throne in Airey City?"
"No, not one!"
Simmons Locke said with a serious face: "If it were another family to rule Airey City, even if it reaches the two points you mentioned, it will not last long and will be overthrown by the major nobles. Do you know why I am like this?" Are you sure?"
Simmons Locke looked at me with encouragement in his eyes.
"Uh because the founding leader of Airy City was Carter Adams?"
After thinking seriously for a while, I asked tentatively.
Simmons Locke shook his head and nodded again: "There is a reason for this, but it is not the main reason."
"Could it be that the Carter family has the ancestral face fruit ability? And it is effective against Airui City? Is that why those nobles and great nobles turn a blind eye to the Carter family's atrocities again and again?"
"Face Fruit Ability? What is that?" Simmons Locke looked confused.
"Well, it's a kind of fruit ability. As long as you say 'Give me face', no matter whether the other party is willing or not, they will choose to give you face as soon as possible. This is what I heard from hearsay, and it may not be true."
"Since it's just hearsay, it's basically half true and half false. Well, there is such an interesting thing. It seems that I need to send some more people to Airui City to find out the truth."
"I say, Your Majesty," I said weakly, "Maybe all of this is just fabrication. It's better not to put your strength on such a non-existent thing."
Simmons Locke said with a straight face: "This is not possible. Although this kind of legend sounds false, what if it is true? If our Simmons family can also possess this kind of power, it will not only reduce the power of York Han City The loss can also enhance the strengthening effect of York Hancheng."
"Okay. As long as you are happy, then, let's continue?"
"Oh" Simmons Locke cleared his throat: "Next"
Suddenly, he stopped talking and stared at me with a pair of bear eyes.
I finally couldn't withstand his pressure, so I coughed awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I really can't hold it in any longer. I will definitely pay attention next time."
"Ah?" Simmons Locke looked at me blankly. The next second, his face suddenly changed color, and his originally slightly yellow facial skin instantly turned pale, whiter than paper.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Ling jumped up from the sofa, walked to the window with a few quick steps, held the window and put his head in, breathing heavily.
"Huha, huha, huha, cough, you brat, what did you have for lunch? Why does it taste so overbearing?"
I looked embarrassed and answered no, and it was no good if I didn't answer. I could only scratch my head and giggle.
After the farce, the air in the room was finally neutralized by the fresh air rushing in from outside, but there was always a vague smell of sweat in the fresh air. It must have been because so many people crowded into the Emerald City. Although the smell of sweat brewed together is not as overpowering as the weird smell of rotten food, fish and shrimp, it still makes people feel uncomfortable.
But Simmons Locke didn't care. Instead, when he breathed in the sweat-smelling air, his face felt refreshed.
Could it be that he has some quirks in this area?
I thought to myself.
After taking several deep breaths, Simmons Locke finally regained his composure. He leaned against the window, wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and sighed, "Where did you just say it?"
I thought for a moment and then answered him.
"Oh" Simmons Locke nodded: "By the way, let me remind you in advance that if you feel any physical discomfort next time, I will allow you to get up and leave. You will come back to continue the conversation after the exhaust outside is clean."
"Okay, Your Majesty."
Simmons Locke was silent for a while and continued: "The reason why the Carter family will not be overthrown is not only because their ancestors were the founders of Airey City, but also because they have a clear understanding of what rules should be followed and what rules can be violated. We have figured out a set of rules. This is the experience accumulated through thousands of years of practice, which other families do not have."
"Rules? What rules?" I asked confused.
"Hmph, there's a lot of knowledge here. I can't explain it to you for a while, so you'd better figure it out for yourself."
The words stopped suddenly, and in the next second, his expression changed drastically, he pointed his halberd at me, and said angrily: "You bastard, get out of here quickly, and come back when you're clean!"
