Chapter 717: Having a Thief's Heart but Not Having the Courage to Do So

It can be heard that Jin Siqi's words are not only full of anger, but also mixed with despair that I am a betrayer and have abandoned them.

I, who was on the other end of the call, curled my lips and said, "You don't really think he has the possibility of victory, do you? I tell you, unless most of the residents of Airui City are in turmoil and the soldiers mutiny, the residents are very desperate. I long for a city lord who can do something to appear, otherwise, judging from your current military strength and strength, going there will be tantamount to death."

There was silence on the other end of the crystal for a long time. Jin Siqi sighed slightly, chuckled, and said, "I thought you were like everyone else, full of passion, flamboyant personality, and full sense of justice."

"You overestimate me, miss," I teased her, "I'm not as noble as you said. I also need to eat and sleep. I also have desires and complexes. Moreover, I have several fiancées. They are all very beautiful, kind, warm, and gentle. It is impossible for me to ignore them just because of my so-called enthusiasm and empty righteousness. I am also just an ordinary person of flesh and blood, not aloof and without desires. God of prayer.”

There was silence again on the other side of the crystal, and Jin Siqi's voice was a little deep: "If we have accumulated enough strength and are fully prepared, will you choose to work with us to seize what we have lost?"

"I can only say that you can consider it," I said calmly.

"Why?" Her tone was very exciting: "Why were you willing to risk your life and escort us to Cyber ​​City for refuge before, but you were unwilling to help Rodney find what he lost? Isn't he your friend?"

"You're right," I said calmly, "Rodney is my friend, Harold is also my friend, and even you are also my friend. Speaking of which, I don't have many friends, but I don't have many. , when my friend is in trouble, I will naturally help him, but if my friend takes the initiative to commit suicide and wants to bring me along with him, then I'm sorry, but I will neither interfere nor participate."

"You said we were committing suicide by recovering what we lost?" Jin Siqi's tone became less friendly.

"Yes," I said, "It's just seeking death."

Then I asked, "Tell me, what do you think you've lost?"

"This has nothing to do with you"

"Yo" I interrupted her with a smile: "It has something to do with me when you use me, and it has nothing to do with me when you don't need me. I can generously regard the words you just said as your angry words, but now I will Let me ask you again, what do you think you have lost?"

"Honour. And pride."

"I don't think so," I bluntly denied her words, and said, "I think all you have lost is power and status, which is why I say you are seeking death."

"Power and status, no matter where they are, are obtained in the same way." After a pause, I said, "That is war."

"No matter whether the banner is just or not, as long as it is a war, people will definitely die. And judging from the current public sentiment in Airui City, even if you are fully prepared, you are likely to lose."

"That's what war is like, the winner is king, the loser will die."

Sighing, I continued: "Before, the reason why I risked my life to escort you to Cyber ​​City is because you are eager to live and hope, and your eyes are always shining with the light of survival. As a friend, I have this If I have the ability, I will do my best to help you and protect you, because you are worthy of my saving."

"As for why I refused to help you seize power, the reason is very simple. What you now long for is the noble status that was respected in the past and the right to control the life and death of the residents of Airui City at any time. You are blinded by these things. You can’t see clearly what is really urgently needed for you now and what you should do.”

"What do you mean?" Jin Siqi's tone was not as strong as before. She asked, "I don't understand."

"It doesn't matter, you don't understand. I can explain it to you bit by bit, or even explain it to you over and over again. As long as you are willing to listen, as long as you are willing to listen, I can take the time to explain it to you, and explain it to you patiently, because You are my friends."

I asked the staff for a glass of water and handed over a silver coin as a tip.

After taking a sip of water, I continued: "What you should do now is to learn how to survive, how to accumulate your own strength and abilities, how to get along well with other people, become friends, and tell Rodney that he should change his ways. Now that he has gotten along with others, he is just a commoner in Dashai City, not a prince in Airui City. When will he understand this? Please call me again and we will talk about the future."

"OK, bye."

Jin Siqi hung up the call crystal.

I handed the call crystal back to the staff, and the elf girl who received me nodded and smiled at me. It seemed that the tip of one silver coin won her a little favor.

A few days have passed and Renn still hasn't come back. I'm a little worried about him.

Although Ren is in the dark, he is only one person after all, and his opponents are many elves who are also hiding in the dark.

A martial arts master may easily kill ten rookies; but he will die at the hands of hundreds or thousands of rookies.

This is reality, not a drama.

A large box of sealed top-grade wine has been prepared on the second floor to celebrate his success and even more to celebrate his return alive.

Princess Analita, who has completely restored her health and memory, has been very troubled recently.

She desperately hopes to go to the dungeon and show off her skills, just like she did before she lost her memory.

But I was ruthlessly rejected.

Princess Analita is obedient and considerate, but that doesn't mean she has no temper.

So, she was annoyed.

I don’t have a big temper, but I keep having small tempers, and they are 100% directed at me.

Lilea secretly warned me many times: You already have many fiancées, so don’t be tempted by Princess Analita.

In fact, I understand her thoughts very well, she just doesn’t want to have more sisters competing with her for meat.

After all, every time when the food was served, Princess Analita would always be the first to eat the piece of meat Lillea wanted to eat, so she could only stretch out her hand under the table and pinch my arm to relieve her anger.

Fortunately Taylor was able to heal the bruises, otherwise my arms would have been scarred.

To be honest, I actually covet the beauty of Princess Analita. I think this is a normal thought that every man with normal sexual orientation will have.

But I really can't do anything to her.

Mainly because of the annoying marriage rules of the elf royal family.

If there were no such rules, I would actually like to incorporate the Elf Queen, Analita, and even the three sisters into the harem. Only by doing so can I demonstrate my extremely high sense of accomplishment as a man.

But unfortunately, this rule really exists and is even carved on the stone wall of the Elf Palace.

So I can only think about the above idea of ​​harem when I am bored.

Purely thief-hearted but not courageous.
