Chapter 546 Your Call
"I still don't understand" Rodney's voice was filled with confusion and depression.
"Uh, okay, let me explain it to you this way." I organized my words and said, "You are now considered to be the murderer of the city lord, uh, that is, the murderer of your father."
"I didn't murder my father!" Rodney argued.
"Oh, I know, I believe you, but this does not mean that the people of Airui City believe you. Rather than believing in your innocence, I think they are more willing to believe in your second brother who has the combat power of Achilles. .”
"But."
I interrupted him and said, "Calm down first. There will always be a countermeasure for everything."
The other end of the phone sighed and said quietly: "What else can be done? I have been locked up and even regarded as the mastermind of my father's murder. Hey."
"But your father is not dead, right?" I asked.
"seems like it."
"Since he's not dead, it means we still have a chance."
"What chance?" he asked eagerly.
"An opportunity for you to take the blame for murdering your father, no, to be precise, murdering the city lord."
"Are you serious?" His tone was full of surprise and uncertainty.
"Of course" I said: "As long as you are alive, there will always be a day when you can wake up. As long as you can wake up, all the truth will be clear, what do you think?"
"That's it, that's it!" He actually cried with joy.
"Hey, can you, a grown man, stop crying all the time?" I thought his sobbing voice was disgusting.
"I'm sorry." He squeaked twice and said, "I'm just, I'm so happy."
Khan, you cry when you are happy. But I can still understand his current mood. He has been wronged for no reason. He thought there was no hope, but suddenly he heard me telling him that there was hope again, and then, he was about to collapse. His spirits were high again, and all of this could only mean one thing - when he called me, he had almost reached the edge of collapse.
Just when I was thinking wildly, his voice came out from the phone again. He was a little more energetic, but a little more anxious: "But, my father is still in the city lord's mansion, and maybe he is still being harassed by those people." The murderer is watching eagerly, what if something happens to him?"
"You don't have to worry about this," I said. "Among the three brothers, you are the only one who has no power. Almost all the nobles in Airui City know this. Now that you have taken the blame and been jailed, the eldest young master and the second young master have been in prison for a period of time." I will definitely not take action against your father again."
"How do you say this?"
"If something happens to your father again while you are in prison, can it be deemed that you are innocent?"
"Ah, yes, you are right. If they attack my father, I will be indirectly cleared of suspicion." His voice was very festive. I was really speechless. Speaking of the relationship between your father and son, How nervous must it be to create a tragic atmosphere where the father is murdered and the son secretly rejoices.
However, this is their family matter and I have no right to interfere.
"But" on the other end of the phone, Rodney had another question: "Will they say it was my remnants who did it?"
"Hey, Master Rodney is finally willing to use his brain to think about something~" I teased him.
"Let's get down to business!"
"Don't even think about it. You are already in prison. What reason do you have to murder your father, the Lord of Airui City?"
On the other end of the phone, Rodney suddenly fell silent. He didn't know whether he walked away or the call crystal was hung up.
I shook the call crystal at the staff member. She looked at the call status and waved to me: nothing unusual.
It seemed that Rodney had left or was silent, so I chose to continue waiting.
After a while, Rodney said loudly: "Ah!"
"Hello? What's wrong with you?" I asked hurriedly, not knowing what was wrong with him.
"Really, why didn't I think of what you said!" Rodney's voice contained both denunciation of himself and praise of me.
After hearing what he said, I finally understood why this guy was silent just now - he had been in a state of shock just now.
At this moment, I refreshed my understanding of this product.
Finally, I exchanged a few words with him and warned him to eat well, sleep well, and masturbate well. As a result, I was scolded by this ungrateful guy and said, "Go away."
But if you think about it carefully, his anger is understandable. After all, there are many patrolling adventurers in the confinement room, and it is always difficult to masturbate in front of them. After all, it will damage the image of the royal family.
After hanging up the call, I asked the staff to help me contact Taylor again and told him my home address.
While the staff was busy helping me connect the call, I kept thinking about a question. Why are the call crystals in Moonlight City allowed to be used by ordinary people, while the call crystals in Airei City are only allowed to be used by high-level and high-status people? ?
After much deliberation, I can only come to this conclusion: The human race is too damn powerful!
At this time, the call crystal connected, and on the other end, Taylor's drunken voice sounded: "Hey, are you a bastard?"
"Say, old man, what kind of trouble are you going to make if you start drinking so early in the morning?"
"Oh, I didn't drink," Taylor said calmly.
"You didn't drink, so why did your voice change?" I added, "You became drunk?"
"Oh" Taylor responded and said, "I didn't drink. I drank water with alcohol flavor."
"How about wine?" I roared.
He was so angry that my liver hurt.
"Uh" Taylor burped and said, "Bastard, what do you want from me?"
"Can't I come to you if nothing happens?" I asked.
"That's right, don't come to me if you have nothing to do," Taylor said dissatisfied: "It's delaying my drinking."
Well, the results spoke for themselves.
"By the way, old man, let me ask you, how is Airei City doing lately?"
Taylor's voice was very indifferent: "What else can we do? Everything is in chaos now. People from other tribes have left here in airships. A lot of houses have been vacated, but they can no longer drink or eat the dwarf tribe's wine. I can’t get the steak from the Beast Tribe anymore, and by the way, Xiaoyi, the cafe you often go to is temporarily closed!”
"Oh, I know this," I said, "The proprietress of the cafe is here with me and is planning to open one in Moonlight City."
"Oh, that's great. Let me know when it opens soon, and I'll rush there with Xiao Zhi." He chuckled obscenely: "The opening ceremony must be a happy one."
Sighing, I said helplessly: "Okay, it's up to you. I'll definitely let you know when the time comes. By the way, how is Xiaozhi now?"
"It's not bad. It just shed its shell. The carapace is still hard now. I guess low-grade stainless steel can't be cut."
"That's good." I imagined what Xiao Zhi would look like after shedding her shell, and said, "You should pay more attention to safety. If you really feel a crisis, come over by airship quickly."
"Okay, okay, I get it," Taylor said impatiently: "By the way, I've used up the little money you gave me, so I'll take some of your personal money."
"Take it, take it," I said helplessly, with my head full of black lines, "It doesn't matter if I spend it all, I'll make some more at the worst."
"Hey, bastard, when did you become so enlightened?" Taylor smiled obscenely and said, "Okay, I won't be polite."
With that said, he hung up the call.
I was really speechless. Just as I was handing back the crystal, another staff member came over: "Are you Mr. An Xiaoyi?"
"I am."
"You have a call."
