Sitting side by side with Rodney, he said to me, "You're right, someone is trying to kill me, and it's thanks to you that Master Hall protected me from this catastrophe." (8) (1) 中『 』文网%.ㄟ81.

"Well, I understand what you mean, but there is one thing I don't understand" I was puzzled: "Although you are a candidate for the successor of the city lord of Ari City, you have no ambition and no power, so it is reasonable that you should not be the target of assassination." ”

"You may be right, but it doesn't mean that everyone thinks like this," Rodney said, "After all, I have the blood of the Carter family in my body, after all, my identity is a candidate for the successor of the city lord of Eri City, after all, I am the one with the highest level of strength among the three brothers, don't you have it?" The overall atmosphere of Ari City has changed, and it has become more martial. ”

Frowning and thinking about it, it seems that this is the case, and the number of adventurers coming and going on the streets, taverns, brothels, casinos, is obviously a large number more than in the past.

I thought there were only more rogue rogue adventurers in Ari City, but listening to Rodney's words, it turned out that the number of adventurers as a whole has increased, but the rogue rogue adventurers are more conspicuous.

Rodney continued: "It is precisely because of the resurgence of martial arts that I, as the most powerful candidate for the successor of the city lord, immediately changed from being no threat at the beginning to a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of my two elder brothers, and I can't wait to pull them out quickly. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, don't think too much, there are some things, the more you think about it, the stronger the hatred will accumulate in your heart, I don't want to, but I live the most relaxed." ”

"How could I not want to" Rodney smiled bitterly and said: "If it is changed to the previous Eri City, no matter which brother or my sister wants to be the city lord, I will raise my hands in agreement, and I have no idea of competing for the position of the city lord, but now it is different, no matter which brother Eri City falls into, it will get worse, no, it will definitely get worse, it can be seen from the current situation!" ”

"Do you know what made Ari City what it is?" I tilted my head and smiled.

"The coveting of power," Rodney said, "both my father and my brothers are obsessively hoping that the Carter family will be the only kings of this Ari City, no, it should be more than them, my grandfather used to teach my brother and me like this, and he also told us that this is the last wish of many generations of Carter family ancestors!" Oh, my God! ”

Rodney hugged his head, he was in pain and, at the same time, remorseful.

I patted him on the back and comforted, "Well, forget it, it's not your fault, it's just that you happened to be born in this family and have this bloodline." ”

After that, I added: "You're right, the reason why Eri City has become what it is today is because of your father and your brothers' coveting for power, and what they want to drive away is not just foreigners, but those obstacles that may prevent them from ruling the entire Ari City, even you, their own sons, their own brothers, once they become obstacles, will also be killed by all means. ”

Rodney sighed a little decadently.

"Well, it's not too bad right now."

Seeing Rodney looking at me puzzled, I continued: "First, you are not dead, as I said before, as long as you are not dead, there is still a chance; Second, you can be regarded as finally figuring out the true face of your family, for the sake of dictatorship, even at the expense of fratricide, such a family is still quite terrifying; Here, I want to ask you, if you really meet in the future, between life and death, can you do it? ”

Rodney hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I can't do it." ”

I pursed my lips, sighed, and said, "Forget it, let's talk about such a serious issue when we encounter it in the future, and let's talk about the matter in front of me first." ”

I turned to Harold and said, "Harold, you are really not authentic, the city lord pretended to be unconscious and didn't tell me about it. ”

Harold originally listened to me and Rodney's conversation as a play, but when he saw that I suddenly turned the finger at him, he was a little stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have only learned the news not long ago, but this is still a secret that is not public, how did you know?" ”

Smiling slightly, I said, "I have many ways to get information." ”

After that, I turned my head to Carter Eva again and said, "Yo~ Isn't this a little cousin, I haven't seen you for many days, are you thin or fat~ Come, let my brother hug me, see if I am thin or fat~"

Carter Eva's face flushed instantly.

Rodney coughed dryly on the side and said, "You are almost my cousin-in-law now, and you dare to tease my sister." ”

I turned my head and said, "Huh? Who's your cousin-in-law? ”

"Of course it's you," Rodney said, "Yura is my cousin, so you're my cousin-in-law." ”

"Hey, what you're talking about, I'm not together yet, I'm just working...... Guild Partnerships. ”

"Come on," Rodney waved his hand and said, "Don't think I don't know, my cousin is wearing a bracelet on her hand, and this is the first time she's worn it since she's grown up." ”

See, what is a pig teammate, a few words, I shook out all the previous history of my cousin, but, thanks to him, I got to know Yura a little more deeply.

Helplessly pursed my lips, I acquiesced to Rodney's words, and I turned my head to Jin Siqi, the woman who was cut off by me with a knife when I met for the first time, this woman who has been holding on to me since then, at this moment, she looked at me without the previous hostility, but it was a little embarrassed.

"Huh? Isn't this Jin Siqi~ Long time no see, long time no see. ”

I greeted her in a warm tone as I sat down in my chair and looked at her motionlessly.

Jin Siqi coughed and said, "Well, long time no see." ”

"Strange," I said in a weird manner, "Why didn't you go to the second young master's side to help, but instead mixed up with our group of civilians?" ”

Hearing this, Jin Siqi was a little angry, but more, she was still embarrassed.

Harold hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Yi, don't make fun of her, she is not from the second young master's side." ”

"Oh, that's it," I said lightly: "In the dungeon before, I saw that you and Su Tengbo were targeting me together, and I thought you were all the second young master's people." ”

"No, I'm just ......" Jin Siqi wanted to speak and stopped, but finally didn't explain anything, just said lightly: "I only met Su Tengbo because of the interests of the guild, and besides, I haven't seen him for a long time." ”

"Of course you won't see him," I laughed, "and I killed him a long time ago." ”
