Chapter 2658: Making up for the Situation Before It Is Too Late

After being away for many days, we finally saw each other. The first thing the old man said when he opened his mouth was to ask me for a drink.

It seems that this period of house arrest has been quite suffocating for him.

I took out a small bag of gold coins from another relatively hidden place, threw it to the adventurer waiting on the side, and said: "Buy the best and strongest one for twenty jars, and the remaining money will be used as a tip for running errands." "

Catching the bag of gold coins, the adventurer weighed it and her eyes suddenly lit up. The generous errand fee made her eager to move. She wished she could grow wings and fly out to run errands for me. However, her master was right next to her, her face darkened and her brows furrowed. , as if he might get angry at any time.

It is true that an adventurer loves money, but he loves life even more, so he stood there holding the gold coins, with greedy eyes and a troubled expression on his face, whether he wanted to go or not.

I narrowed my eyes slightly, looked at him, and said in a neutral tone: "What, you think you're too young?"

"No, no, no, it's already a lot, just...just"

"Just what?" I changed my sitting position, held my chin with one hand, stared at the man with cold eyes, and said lightly: "Don't tell me, prices in Dashai City have skyrocketed to the point where a bag of gold coins can cost twenty jars of wine. Can’t even afford it?”

"No, sir, please don't get me wrong."

As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, almost silent.

At this moment, the old Duke came back to his senses, turned his head and glanced at the man, waved his hand and said: "Didn't you hear what Elder An Xiaoyi said? Go quickly!"

The adventurer then wiped his sweat, nodded and bowed before running away.

Not long after, twenty jars of wine arrived in a truck.

Taylor didn't even say hello, he couldn't wait to walk over, picked up a jar of wine, patted open the sealing mud, twitched his nose slightly, and greedily sucked in the aroma of the wine, then impatiently picked up the jar of wine, and drank it in big gulps. .

After drinking half the jar in one breath, he put down the jar, bowed slightly, clenched his fists like prawns, and remained motionless for a long while.

Twenty seconds later, a long groan resounded throughout the surroundings. The old man's expression was in high spirits, and he kept shouting happily.

Seeing the old man's expression, I couldn't help but laugh happily.

This is how an old alcoholic should react.

After shouting loudly several times in succession, the old man burst into tears. He wiped away his tears, picked up the wine jar, and continued to drink heavily.

I didn't care about him, but smiled at the evil dragon Spitz behind me who was looking eagerly at the wine jar: "The old man can't finish twenty jars, not even half. Most of the wine here is Prepared for you."

When Evil Dragon Spitz heard this, he was not polite. He took a step forward, stretched out his claws to lift up a jar of wine. He didn't care about the sealing mud or ceramics. He just threw the wine jar into his mouth and chewed it a few times. Then he stretched his neck and swallowed, and then he finished a jar, just like eating wine candy.

After more than a dozen jars of wine were consumed, Spitz wisely did not touch the remaining jars of wine.

However, Mr. Taylor suddenly noticed that the wine was much less, like an old cat guarding its food. When he turned around, he was shocked, his face changed drastically, and he lost his voice and said: "It's you! Evil Dragon!"

"Please call me by my full name - Evil Dragon Spitz." Spitz stood proudly and looked at the old man. After a few seconds, he added: "I would be very grateful if you could add the word 'Sir' at the end." .”

"Huh, grateful?" Taylor put down the wine jar and snorted coldly: "I can't bear the gratitude of the evil dragon."

Then, he turned to me, frowned and asked, "You bastard, what's going on? Why are you with him?"

I stood up, came to him, and said with a smile: "The reason is very complicated, I'd better just tell the result. Lord Spitz has formed an alliance with Moonlight City."

"Alliance?" Taylor said in disbelief: "With Moonlight City? This, how is this possible! Trika?"

"I was the one who made it happen." I lowered my voice and said, "You were suddenly not around. Grandma was silent for a long time. During this period, the bloody purification made trouble again and again. Moonlight City was facing internal and external troubles. The situation was precarious. It happened to coincide with the Zephyr Hegemony Tournament. , my ability is really limited, so I have to ask the Dragon Clan for help.”

"They must get a lot of benefits from asking the Dragon Clan for help, right?"

The old man's tone was unkind, and he looked at me like a traitor seeking glory.

"Benefits must be given, but they are not as serious as you think."

Having said that, I whispered in my ears and told the old man the benefits promised to the Dragon Clan.

After listening to this, the old man's gloomy expression gradually turned cloudy and clear. His lips moved for a long time before he came out with four words: "It's up to you."

These four words are the highest recognition the old man has given me.

While the old man was drinking, I returned to my seat and said to the old Duke: "Your Excellency, the old Duke, can I take Elder Taylor away?"

Ever since the evil dragon Spitz corroded the city gate with his breath, the old Duke had already accepted this reality in his heart.

He is indeed very strong, and the forces under his command are even stronger, but these are limited to common sense, while the strength of the Dragon Clan is beyond the scope of common sense.

Even a strong man like Taylor would show deep fear when facing the dragon.

Faced with such an existence, it is best to appease as much as possible if you can. If you cannot appease, it is best not to anger. Otherwise, once the commotion breaks out, even if the dragon can be defeated in the end, the losses in Dashai City will be very heavy. I am afraid that just the battle damage and maintenance will Get a lot of money.

What's more, less than fifty kilometers away from here is the origin of the disaster that has just sprouted in recent years. Once the fluctuations caused by the battle spread there, the disaster will directly break out of the ground and come knocking, the situation will be even worse. Oops, I'm afraid I can't even hold on to my country.

If you can't bear the humiliation, how can you bear the burden?

The old Duke raised his teacup and said calmly: "I'll take tea instead of wine. Congratulations on achieving your goal."

I also raised my tea cup and responded with a smile: "Thank you."

Finally, I successfully accomplished my goal. I breathed a sigh of relief and ate the meat jerky again. While eating, I chatted with the old Duke about the disaster.

The old Duke told me that he was not very clear about the cause of the disaster. He only knew that he had dispatched an excavation team to survey the underground mineral deposits and excavate them. Unexpectedly, they also stung a hornet's nest.

I asked him if I had sent him a letter before the incident, whether he had read it or not, or whether I had not read it at all.

The old Duke was a little embarrassed. He was silent for a moment and replied: "I didn't read it. I was busy with national construction at the time and didn't have the heart to read it. Now that I think about it, if I could have given myself more time, I probably wouldn't have had such a bad thing happen."

I curled my lips, disapproving.

Regardless of how true his words are, even if he reads my letter, will he really believe it?

I'm afraid it will be regarded as a malicious mischief on my part. He will only wake up after being defeated, suffered, and suffered a disaster, but often by this time, it is already too late.

Losses are unavoidable, but it would not be a bad thing if we could make up for it.
