Chapter 358 Past Events

Taylor seemed to have expected it, his expression was indifferent, the small fan in his hand was shaking slightly, and a slight cool breeze blew past his face.

After a long time, he narrowed his old eyes and said: "When the fruit is ripe, it will naturally fall. If it has been at ease for a long time, it will naturally become chaotic."

"Aren't you surprised?"

"Is there any surprise?" Taylor raised his eyebrows: "At my age, everything has become insignificant. If you ask me, the city of Airei should have changed a long time ago, but at this moment, it came too late, too late. I’m too lazy to listen to it anymore.”

This didn't sound right, so I couldn't help but get excited and said, "There's something in your words, old man, can you tell me the story behind it?"

He was silent for a while, sighed, slapped my stomach with the handle of his fan, and said, "You bastard, I'm thirsty. Bring me a pot of herbal tea."

As soon as I heard his tone, I knew he was about to start speaking. Speaking of which, Mr. Taylor has such a good taste. Before he talks about anything, he must first serve a pot of herbal tea. It doesn’t matter whether it is good tea or bad tea. A pot will do, preferably a thick one, the thicker the better. After three cups, you will be able to take a long breath, and the chatterbox will really open up.

This is a habit and a rule.

The cup of herbal tea was handed over to Mr. Taylor. I filled it up for him carefully, for fear of leaking even a drop. He raised his neck and drank it, followed by two more cups.

After three drinks, he felt comfortable and started talking again.

"At that time, I was your size, but I didn't have much strength. I didn't have much combat experience. I was far worse than you are now. I just had strong healing ability. No matter how big or small the injury was, I treated it. It was all easy to get rid of the damage, so, at that time, I was also very popular, and there were many large guilds trying to win me over. I was young, energetic and ambitious at the time, so after I pushed through those invitations one by one, I I pulled up a team myself and established a similar small guild."

Taylor's eyes were full of memories, and a smile bloomed on his old face, but this smile was not beautiful, and seemed to have a bunch of cobwebs added out of thin air.

"Because my healing ability is very famous, it didn't take long for my small guild to expand into a medium-sized guild. Many medium-sized and large guilds that I had been in contact with also came to me one by one to sign a joint guild strategy. Oh, so-called The guild alliance strategy is just a form, which means that if another guild comes to bully you, it will be equivalent to bullying other guilds that have joined forces with you, well, that's all."

As he spoke, he poured another cup of tea, took a sip, and continued: "While signing these matters, I received an anonymous letter, which stated that I was invited to a relatively remote area. It was said that we had something important to discuss, and other people in the guild advised me to either not go, or to bring more people with me, but I was young at the time, so I didn’t listen and went directly by myself.”

He sighed and looked a little gloomy: "After I went there, I saw a person, an old man. The old man looked like the Lord who had been in a high position for a long time. When he spoke, his tone made people feel very uncomfortable. He was exchanging pleasantries. After a few words, he asked me if I wanted to be his subordinate and become his person. I asked him who he was, but he didn’t tell me, he just asked me if I wanted to or not.”

Taylor laughed twice, and the laughter was a little bitter: "What a nonsense, that's what I thought at the time, so I refused directly. The old man didn't look at me again, and waved me away, and went back. On the way, I kept guessing about the identity of this old man. That night, my guild caught fire, and all its finances were wiped out. Fortunately, no one died. At this time, another secret letter was handed into my hand. , I opened it and saw that it was another inconspicuous place. I rushed there with a fire. Sure enough, it was the same old man. Without thinking, I asked him directly, why did he set fire to my guild? The old man didn't deny it, didn't even raise his eyelids, and still asked me, do you want to belong? I wanted to belong to you, so I turned around and left. As a result, from that day on, the people who signed a joint strategy with my guild Those guilds terminated their relationship with my guild one by one. In the meantime, I received two more secret messages and went to two different places. It was still the same old man with the same problem. I was stubborn at the time. We didn’t even talk about it, we just left.”

He sighed deeply: "Not long after that, my guild collapsed due to financial problems. Later, after many inquiries, I found out that the old man was the city lord of Airui City at the time, who is also the current city lord. Grandpa, that old guy is playing politics and has no strength at all. Relying on the shelter given by his ancestors and his own ruthlessness and wickedness, he has collected most of the adventurer guilds. Those who do not submit, except those who are too powerful, Those who were too powerful were basically wiped out by him, and my guild was also one of its victims."

I thought about it and asked, "Have you never thought about revenge?"

Taylor shook his head: "I thought about it at the beginning, but as I get older, this feeling gradually fades away. Now, what I want to do most is to see what the current Lord of Airi City can do. How long will we be alive? We will see when Airui City changes, and we will see what Airui City, this ancient city, will eventually become."

"If you just watch, you may not be able to wait until that day comes."

He smiled: "You are right. In the past, I just wanted to take a look, but now, I want to reach out and try to see if I can tear the descendants of the people who tortured me from their comfortable seats. It is best if I can Trample them hard under your feet and crush them."

"Your idea is a bit cruel," I chuckled, "But, I like it."

"Admit it, bastard, it's not that Air City is going to change, but you are going to turn it upside down." Taylor smiled mysteriously at me and said, "Your idea is good, but you still have too little energy. Yes, I need to save, I need to save."

"I understand what you mean, but I'm not sure, what should I do next?"

Taylor closed his eyes and said slowly: "You need to save now. In Airy City, there are two things that are omnipotent. One is rights, and the other is money. As long as you have these two things, and then use your mind a little, your plan , your goal will be achieved soon."

"I can try to convince an elder from the adventurer base to join us" I thought of Master Hall.

"It's not enough, it's far from enough." Taylor shook his head: "There are five people in the Presbyterian Church. It's not enough to convince just one. You have to convince at least three."

"Three!" I exclaimed: "You don't think they are ordinary old men and women wandering the streets carrying bird cages. You can fool them just by saying the name Amway. Those are elders, masters." The real powerful people who control the fate of Airui City!"
