Chapter 682: Traitor
After thinking clearly about the difference in strength between me and him, he was calm in his heart, and his speech became natural. (8) Ω『 ┡ (1) Chinese .com 8⒈
Seeing that he was still standing in the middle of the road with a gloomy expression, I stepped forward and asked him, "Do you have a belly to say?" ”
Achilles raised his head, frowned slightly, a little, and said, "No." ”
I'm dizzy, I don't have such a divine twist, according to common sense, you should say: yes, there is indeed a belly full of things to say.
In this way, I will have the opportunity to say to you: Go, I will invite you to drink, and you will tell me what is in your stomach.
This is the most normal way to go!
You coldly said to me, 'No,' and told me how to get the topic on the course of things!
In order to alleviate the embarrassment of being short-lived, I decided to make an exception and go beyond the routine and shift the conversation directly to drinking.
"I'll ask you for a drink," I said, looking up.
Achilles looked at me puzzled.
His eyes are quite normal, after all, a moment ago he was still tense, but at this moment, he suddenly invited him to drink, the turn was too big, and no one could straighten it out for a while.
I spread my hands and said, "Look, it's a cold day, drinking is the most suitable thing, although it's not a reunion of old people, but after all, it's a hand-to-hand relationship, and it's still an acquaintance, how about it, today I make an exception and invite you to drink." ”
"Okay."
Achilles' reply was as grim as his own, but his movements were honest, and he followed me one after the other, toward the tavern.
Instead of the brightly lit taverns on the streets of Ari City, I deliberately found a nondescript tavern at the intersection of the patron and the slum.
The tavern was deserted, and the tavern owner was alone, lying on the table and snoring.
After Achilles and I sat down, we raised our palms, slapped the table hard, and shouted, "Boss, serve the wine!" ”
The snoring boss jumped up from the chair and looked around in a panic: "Who, who called me!" ”
"Here, here, here!" I shouted three times in a row and said, "Boss, serve the wine!" ”
"Hey" the boss coughed, walked quickly to the counter, scooped out a jug of wine from the large wine vat, and brought it to our table.
I looked at this little pot of what resembled crude liquor, and I was speechless.
It's not that the alcohol is bad, it's that the amount of alcohol is too small.
The boss seemed to see that I was not satisfied, so he asked, "Is there anything else that needs to be served?" ”
I turned my head, pointed to the flask, and said, "Ten more pots of the same wine, and by the way, help me cut some beef or something." ”
"Oh, good" The boss turned around and was about to leave, when I stopped him, fumbled around in my pocket, pulled out a few silver coins, and handed them to him.
The boss was startled and exclaimed, "This, so many ......"
I said, "Take it, heat up the beef and wine, me and this ...... This friend wants to drink a little longer, by the way, if there is nothing to do, you can go down first, leave us alone, if I need help, I will call you. ”
"Okay, okay" the boss thanked and walked away quickly.
Touching the wine glass on the side, I poured a glass of wine for Achilles and I each, and I said, "It looks shabby, but it's actually quite a clean shop." ”
Achilles stared at the wine glass in his hand for a moment and said, "It's quite clean." ”
Anyway, drink it all.
I also drank it, exhausted it, and said to him, "The wine is a little spicy, be considerate." ”
"No, just right," Achilles said, "it's the most special wine I've ever drunk." ”
"Yes," I poured another glass and said, "You usually drink the best wines, but this time you suddenly drink a crude wine with a slightly spicy taste, and you will find it taste unique when you can't sleep." ”
"No," Achilles shook his head, "I mean the mood of drinking." ”
Yo he, I'm still playing with sentiments.
I smiled and said, "What's the difference in mood?" ”
"I have not drunk such a calm wine since I was awakened," Achilles said, "Every day when I open my eyes, all I hear is all kinds of flattery, all I feel is all kinds of respect, and some, I get tired of it." ”
"Hehe" I laughed dryly: "You are purely used to it, you are flattered every day, and what is wrong with being respected every day, it proves that you are strong." ”
"It's different" Achilles shook his head and said, "If these are all from the heart, it's fine, it's just ......"
He shut up, and as soon as I turned my head, the boss cautiously walked over with wine and beef, and said, "I'm sorry, guest, the beef is a little old." ”
"Isn't there anything more tender?" I asked, glancing at the really old beef on my plate.
"No," the boss was a little regretful, and said: "Since the beasts moved away, our supply here has been much less, and now Dasai City refuses to trade meat products here, and the meat that can be eaten is only their own free-range livestock, and the environment here is not as good as Dasai City, and the meat quality of the livestock is much worse than that of their free-range." ”
"I understand" waved my hand, and I said, "Go ahead with your business." ”
The boss stepped down.
Achilles picked up a piece of beef, looked at it, and suddenly said, "Why doesn't Dasai refuse to trade with us?" ”
I sighed and said, "It's not because you killed so many orcs. ”
"I'm killing all the traitors who want to subvert the Carter family!" Achilles is the right color.
"You haven't really investigated, just listen to Carter Scott's side," I pursed my lips, suddenly remembering something, and added, "Oh, by the way, and Carter Houghton, who probably agrees that these are traitors." ”
Achilles was silent for a moment, and then he added: "But they have evidence of these people's crimes. ”
"I'm still saying that, have you really looked into it?" With a sigh, I said, "You know, it's easy to impose a crime on someone, especially since the other party is still the lord of Eri City, a descendant of legendary heroes. ”
"I don't like it when you slander the descendants of legendary heroes like this," Achilles said slowly, putting the beef down.
"I'm not a descendant of a legendary hero, but there are some things that you better see with your own eyes and experience it yourself, so that you can come up with a more correct view" I said: "It's not that the descendants of legendary heroes are like legendary heroes, so powerful, so great, the simplest example, the descendants of today's heroes, none of them have a level of strength that can reach the level of legendary heroes, right?" ”
With that, I started to nibble on the beef, well, it's a little old, but it's still edible.
Achilles was silent for a while, he picked up the beef he had put down again, took a few bites, chewed it for a while, and swallowed it before he said: "What you said also makes sense, and the current Eri City is indeed not as I thought." ”
