Chapter 754 Choice
When the door opened, I didn't even say hello to them. I just asked the staff to carry a few boxes in.
Afterwards, after giving them a certain amount of tip, I signaled Rodney to close the door, and under the eyes of Harold and others, I opened the lid of one of the wooden boxes.
The yellow-orange gold coins shone with dazzling light, illuminating the entire hall.
Everyone in the hall stared straight at the gold coins.
When they were in Airi City, they might have seen ten or a hundred times more gold coins than this, but now, they were just trapped fugitives. A period of tight clothing and food gave them a desire for money.
Therefore, when they encountered piles of gold coins again, they were all attracted by the flashing light of the gold coins, and they were all dumbfounded.
"There are millions of these." I pointed to the box and the gold coins that were shining with an attractive yellow-orange light, and said, "It's enough for your initial development."
"Are these gold coins for us?" Rodney couldn't take his eyes away from the gold coins, so he simply looked at the gold coins and said to me.
"Well, yes," I said, "but I have a request."
"What's the request? Tell me."
"When I return to Dasha City again, I don't want to see a deserted and dilapidated heroic guild." I glanced at Harold, who had a complicated expression on his face, and said, "At least make it a decent one for me. Only a medium-sized guild will do.”
"Ah yes" Harold's expression changed. Maybe he didn't know what kind of expression he should look at me with at this moment.
After all, a despicable guy who uses friendship to threaten his friends' loyalty to him; a generous owner who sends millions of gold coins as start-up capital without making any demands. When the two are mixed together, it is indeed difficult to judge. What kind of person am I?
Although Rodney was very excited to invite me to dinner, I declined.
The atmosphere in the hall was depressing and weird. Everyone except Rodney had unnatural expressions on their faces. If they stayed for dinner, it would definitely not be a pleasant dinner.
I found a random restaurant, ordered two barbecues, a bottle of wine, and started eating and drinking by myself.
In fact, if I hadn't said something that sounded very rude today, and if I hadn't put forward that answer that made it difficult to choose, I would have been warmly received by at least others except Jin Siqi.
In the eyes of outsiders, maybe I am asking for trouble, but that is not the case.
If you want to establish the Dewey Empire, you must have the support of at least three of the five towns. Airey City is the first town that I have chosen.
Cultivate Rodney and support him to rise to power. Through his gratitude and vows, I will become the uncrowned king of Airey City.
This is my plan.
And asking him to execute his sister with his own hands is for verification and to test in advance. On the one hand, I want to know if Rodney is still the same person I once knew, and on the other hand, I want to know, once On the day when he and his father and brother meet with swords, will he be able to do it?
Although the final answer Rodney gave me was not completely satisfactory to me, at least I can give him full marks for the fact that his temperament has not changed.
However, one day, he will still have to face his father and brother. This is an inevitable hurdle. Moreover, through today's temptation, I can already understand what the final answer will be.
It seems that it is impossible for Rodney to solve the obstacle himself. So now, I can only think of other feasible methods: either find an assassin to assassinate him; or I can solve it myself.
Either of these two options would be equally cruel to Rodney. Perhaps having me deal with his father and brother myself would be the easiest choice for him to accept and forgive.
Thinking of some heavy solutions along the way, I returned to the villa and rang the doorbell.
The door opened, and Phoenix's little head poked out. When he saw it was me, he smiled and jumped into my arms, rubbing against me.
This was the best method used by the half-cat human Barbara. As a result, she learned it and applied it flexibly. Now, it has become a standard move for Phoenix to act coquettishly.
While hugging her, I closed the door. I saw Cagalli comparing her clothes happily. When she saw me coming in, Cagalli smiled sweetly: "Xiao Yi, do you think this dress looks good?"
I looked at it carefully, then gave it a thumbs up and said, "It's very beautiful!"
"Really, right~" Cagalli became excited in a rare moment, and she said proudly: "The strange girl also said that the one I chose was not beautiful enough~"
"Eh? Did I say that?" Phoenix blinked with an innocent look on her face. This was her signature move of pretending to be stupid and denying.
"Why not!" Cagalli said angrily: "If you hadn't said that to me, I wouldn't have bought so many clothes!"
I glanced at the clothes piled all over the sofa, feeling a little speechless.
Although there is always one piece of clothing missing from a woman's wardrobe, no one says that there is always a pile of clothing missing from a woman's wardrobe.
The most important thing is, where do you put these clothes after buying them?
The closet is already full, and I even set aside a room specifically for clothes on the second floor of the treehouse in Moonlight City just to hold the girls' clothes, but that room is also full.
Now there are clothes on the sofa again. I said, do you two really want to pile clothes on the sofa all the time?
If this starts to happen, will I buy a tree house or a villa in the future just to store your clothes?
Thinking of this, I collapsed a little.
Phoenix in my arms saw the clues, and she asked me: "Xiao Yi, what's wrong with you? You look so confused?"
Cagalli also looked at me with confusion on her face.
"Well, I'm a little confused." I nodded: "I'm confused about where to put these clothes."
Cagalli tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "There is still room. There are still many vacant rooms in this villa. Even if everyone moves here in the future, there will be a surplus."
"Um, really?" I asked Cagalli again, wanting to make sure that what she said was true, and not just to cover up the embarrassment of buying too many clothes and having no place to put them.
"Well, yes" she affirmed: "Don't forget, ours is a large villa. Under normal circumstances, only large guilds are eligible to stay in villas~"
"Ah, that's right." I sighed, nodded at her, and agreed to her suggestion.
"By the way, Xiaoyi," Cagalli put down her clothes and asked me, "Did everything go smoothly today?"
"It's okay," I said, "The learning abilities of those orc students are only slightly better than those of the elf students. They can be completely mastered after only being taught two or three times."
"Uh-huh!" Cagalli snorted proudly.
"In this regard, I suddenly had a question today." Frowning slightly, I asked her: "Why is it widely rumored in the Zephyr Continent that the learning ability of the orcs is far inferior to that of the elves, and is not even as good as that of the humans?"
