Chapter 606 Conjecture
The hot spring water is bubbling and very comfortable, but I always feel a little awkward in my heart at the moment.
Goblin King David's words of "foolish people" fully made me feel the disdain and contempt coming from the royal family.
"I said." After a moment of silence, I said, "Is it really so unbearable?"
Dewey was sipping red wine on the side. When he heard the question, he curled his lips and said, "Xiaoyi, some things will develop very quickly and suddenly, and you won't even have time to react."
"What do you mean?" I frowned: "I don't understand."
"That is to say, because of the appearance of Achilles out of thin air and his tyrannical behavior, almost all foreigners have withdrawn from Airui City. Now, except for a few important facilities such as airships, other projects in Airui City have not stopped operating. Almost all operations have stopped." At this point, Dewey paused and said, "We goblins will also completely sever diplomatic relations with Airui City in the near future."
"Brother, how could you tell such a thing in advance!" David complained to Dewey.
Dewey waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, Xiao Yi is not from Airui City. He was just a wandering adventurer who moved to Airui City before."
I was shocked and blurted out: "Dewey, how did you know?"
Dewey's expression was a little awkward at first, and he seemed to realize that his words were inappropriate, but soon he regained his composure and said: "When choosing the heir to a family business, you must first investigate his origins and background."
"Hey, hey, I've told you several times that your family business will be inherited by your own family." I was a little unhappy and said, "Why don't you ask me, an outsider, to come here?"
Ahem!
Dewey coughed a few times and said, "We'll talk about this later. Let me tell you about Airui City first."
As he spoke, he nuzzled at David and said, "Tell him, Xiaoyi is not an outsider. There are some things that can be prepared in advance now that we have discussed them."
David shrugged and said, "Since my brother has spoken, I have no choice but to obey."
After that, his expression was very serious and he said: "Xiao Yi, in fact, our goblins and dwarves in Fort Vicky are extremely kind. The elves in Moonlight City and the orcs in Dashai City have already severed their alliance with Airui City early in the morning. It’s related.”
"Huh? When?" I couldn't help but ask.
"At the beginning of Achilles' policy of killing foreigners," David said: "We goblins and dwarves wanted to continue to maintain the relationship with Airui City based on the deep friendship accumulated over the past few years. However, this Achilles actually slaughtered more than a dozen of our dwarf compatriots in a row, which made the dwarf king angry. After discussing with me, we decided to evacuate the goblins and dwarves stationed in Airui City in batches. Break off diplomatic relations.”
I frowned, remained silent for a while, and said, "That's what I said, but Achilles didn't want to do all this on his own. He was blinded by others."
"You want to say that all of this was planned by Carter Scott, the second young master of Airey City, right?" David shook his head slightly and said: "My child, you are too naive. If he is really like this With such courage, his brothers and sisters would have been dead long ago."
"You mean, there is another mastermind behind all this?"
"Of course there is another mastermind, and this mastermind has a very big background."
"Is it bigger than the Carter family?" I opened my eyes wide.
"That's not true," David said, "but this mastermind should be the biggest in the Carter family."
"The eldest in the Carter family." I thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Could he be the lord of Airui City?"
"That's him, Carter Horton."
"That's wrong," I retorted, "Isn't Carter Horton already in a coma? How could he still be the biggest mastermind of all this?"
"Who said that to you?" Dewey asked.
"Rodney," I said, "The youngest son of the Lord of Airey City."
"Then what's his current situation?"
"Uh, imprisoned."
I thought for a while and then said: "And Harold, he also told me that the lord of Airui City is in a coma."
"This Harold, what is his current situation?" Dewey asked again.
"I was dismissed from my post," I said helplessly.
"That's right," Dewey said. "One is imprisoned and the other is dismissed. Will these two people get the most authentic information?"
"You mean, both of them were deceived?"
"That's it." Dewey nodded, then nuzzled at David and said, "I'm tired and need to take a rest. It's your turn."
"Could it be that Carter Horton, he is not in a coma, and he did all this?" I frowned and said, "But why did he do this? Isn't it difficult to develop alliances with other ethnic groups?"
"Maybe." David shrugged and said, "Who knows what is going on in his stupid pig's mind. Maybe he is envious of those stupid pigs in York and Hancheng."
"What does this have to do with York City?" I wondered.
"It seems that you are really a wandering adventurer, and you don't even know this history." David sneered: "York Han City has completely closed itself off after the legendary heroic age. Except for the human race, it will never contact any foreign race, nor will it Allow any foreigners to settle in Yorkshire."
"If we don't develop together with foreign races, we will lose many of the most advanced technologies and cognitions, and over time, we will be eliminated by other ethnic groups." I wondered: "Why do they do this?"
"In order to centralize power," David said: "As long as there are foreigners settling in, there will be disputes. In order to eliminate the disputes, they will have to let foreigners settle in the adventurer base, thereby delegating the rights of the town. In this way, their Simmons family There is no way to be the only one in York and Hancheng."
"Just to centralize power? At the cost of being eliminated by other ethnic groups?" I said in disbelief: "This is too crazy."
"So I said, they are a bunch of stupid pigs," David said disdainfully: "I just didn't expect that there are still humans who want to imitate the behavior of this stupid pig."
David's words left me speechless. He was right. These guys who are willing to give up advanced knowledge and technology in order to centralize power are indeed a bunch of stupid pigs.
It's just that Achilles, the attendant of the legendary hero, this strong man with enough power to run rampant, this guy who keeps saying he is for justice and upholding justice, is his mind really so difficult to use?
Just relying on the few words of those guys and the fanatical pursuit of the poor and ignorant people in Airui City, will he lose his own reason and lose the benchmark for judging truth, falsehood, good and evil?
In my mind, the scene after Achilles' last duel with me suddenly flashed through his mind, his dialogue, and his eyes. Could it be said that he had known that this would happen?
