Chapter 632 Too Little Freedom

Rodney thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's my father."

"It seems that your father has been planning this for a long time," I said. "In just a few days, he has purged everyone around Master Hall. He is really vigorous and resolute."

I turned to look at Harold and said, "Aren't you the most trusted person around the city lord? You don't know anything about it."

Harold smiled a little awkwardly and said: "I only perform the two functions of maintaining order in Airui City and protecting the safety of the city lord. I cannot be regarded as the most trusted person."

Rodney helped Harold speak and said, "Father, he has always been suspicious. Even if he is his own son, he cannot fully trust him. At this point, we cannot blame Harold."

Now that Rodney had talked about this, I couldn't say more about Harold, so I focused my attention on Jin Siqi again.

I frowned and asked Harold, "Is this woman reliable?"

Asking Harold in front of Jin Siqi if Jin Siqi was reliable was really a very impolite behavior. This kind of behavior would never be done by an orthodox gentleman.

However, I am neither a gentleman nor a gentleman. Well, well, if I have to do it, I have to put a double quotation mark around the word gentleman.

Seeing Jin Siqi's face turning green, I felt so happy that I told you not to deal with me before, huh~

Harold coughed and said, "Although there is some distance between Siqi and Xiaoyi, she is still a very reliable friend."

"Oh~" I shrugged and said, "That's fine~ Don't mind, I'm just being careful, I don't mean any harm, hehehehe."

I could feel the deep malice in these last few obscene laughs.

Rodney sighed and asked me, "Xiaoyi, what are your plans?"

"Um?"

Seeing that I didn't hear clearly, he repeated it again: "Ai Ruicheng is like this now, what are your plans?"

"I don't have any plans," I said, "Just live a normal life."

"Won't your life be affected?" Rodney said: "There are rogue adventurers everywhere in Airey City."

"Okay," I said, "I understand what you mean. Are you worried that my life in Airui City will be affected?"

"Before, my life may have been affected. After all, my home was occupied by a group of rogue adventurers." I stretched my waist and continued: "But now, that small yard has nothing to do with me anymore." It doesn’t matter, I’m moving.”

"Where did you move to?" Rodney asked quickly.

"Eh? Harold, didn't you tell him?"

Harold cleared his throat and said, "It's not too late."

"That's it." I nodded and said, "I have moved. I am temporarily living in Moonlight City, but I may continue to move in the future."

Rodney pondered for a moment and said, "That's good. Moonlight City is much safer and calmer than Airy City."

"That's not necessarily true," I said casually, thinking of the conflicts among the elders of the elves.

"Okay, stop talking about me," I asked Rodney, "What are your plans? You're not going to spend your whole life hiding in this hidden room, are you?"

"We plan to go to Dashai City," Rodney said, "Then I will ask the city lord of Dashai City for help."

"Seeking help?" I asked, "What kind of help are you planning to seek? Is it to stay temporarily or to help you return to the country?"

"It's a temporary stay," Rodney said.

"Well" I thought thoughtfully, nodded and said, "Then it seems that there is no need to ask the Lord of Dashai City for help. As long as you have plenty of money and don't cause trouble, you can always live in Dashai City. No one will find fault with you.”

I saw Rodney's expression was different, so he smiled and said, "I see, you still want to make a comeback and restore the country, right?"

Rodney looked evasive, as if he didn't dare to face me head-on.

I joked: "We've known each other for so long, and you still treat me like an outsider? If there's anything you can tell me directly, why do you have to be evasive and covertly shy?"

Finally, Rodney couldn't avoid my teasing gaze, sighed, and told the truth: "I really hope to borrow troops from the Lord of Dashai City to regain the power of Airui City."

"Isn't that enough?" I curled my lips and said, "Actually, I have always felt that you are far more suitable to be the Lord of Airui City than others."

"Do you think so too?" Rodney asked in surprise.

"Of course" I said: "After all, you and I are the only friends. Your second brother and I are not on the same page. I don't know your father or your eldest brother at all. If I don't support you, who should I support?"

“It turns out it’s because of this”

Rodney sighed in frustration: "I thought you thought I had leadership qualities."

"Do you have leadership skills?" I thought for a while and shook my head helplessly: "I really didn't know how many of them you have, but if you can lead a group of your brothers and sisters to go to the twelfth floor to kill monsters, you must have leadership skills. Something."

"Hey, forget it, stop comforting me." Rodney covered his face and said, "I always feel that if you comfort me, it's better than not comforting me."

"How is that possible?" I said hehely: "I have tried my best to select your good points to talk about."

Rodney's head dropped lower.

"Xiaoyi, when you said 'temporarily' before, does that mean you will continue to move to other towns in the future?" Harold asked.

"right."

"Then why not take this opportunity and move everyone to live in Dashai City together? What do you think?"

"It's a good idea, but I don't want to do it yet." I raised my eyelids and said, "Next year, my fiancées and I will go to Dashai City to get engaged and married. It's not too late, but you -"

I looked at Harold and said, "Aren't you the president of the Brave Guild? Are you planning to take the entire Brave Guild to Dashai City? In that case, wouldn't your target be a bit big?"

Harold shook his head: "The vast majority of the people in the Valiant Guild have been bribed by the Second Young Master and the others. Only a small number of people who are loyal to me will leave with me."

"What about you?" I turned to Jin Siqi again and said, "I remember you are from the Rose Legion. You should be quite popular in Airui City, right?"

Jin Siqi said lightly: "The Rose Legion is a guild jointly founded by the orcs and elves. In this incident, our Rose Legion is not popular. The top members have left one after another, and the rest of us will also leave in a short time." , or break away from the Legion of Roses.”

"Detachment? Why?" I asked puzzled.

"The Rose Legion is one of the five major guilds in Zephyr Continent. It has strict discipline and restraint. Individuals are not allowed to act alone. This not only prevents possible problems, but also eliminates unnecessary troubles."

"That's why I don't like some big guilds," I said lightly, "There's so little freedom."
