Chapter 1050: Rodney's Death
Wren rubbed his eyes, deliberately shook his neck, and said, "It's still there." ”
I groaned and continued to ask him, "How many?" ”
"Six, three sit behind us, two on our left and one on our right," Wren said. ”
I nodded: "Did they make any moves?" ”
Wren said: "There is no action. ”
"That's good," I let out a sigh of relief, "I'll go first when I get back in a moment, and you follow them behind to see if you can find their lair." ”
"Yes."
On the playing field, the two magicians battled each other for more than ten minutes, and finally ended the battle with the magic value of one of the magicians.
After the battle, the elves got up one after another, lined up in two teams, and slowly walked out of the arena.
I got up before Wren and blended into the front of the line, while Wren sat motionless, and he hadn't gotten up when I went out the door.
Leaving the arena, I walked slowly and leisurely towards home, constantly keeping an eye on everything behind me on the way.
Sure enough, as Wren said, there were a few guys who were always following me from a short distance.
"Hehe, interesting," I chuckled inwardly.
These guys are pretty stealthy, and if it weren't for Wren's reminder, I probably wouldn't have noticed that I'd been followed.
However, since Wren had been assigned to follow them, I was inconvenient to do any more, and when I thought of this, I unconsciously quickened my pace and hurried in the direction of home.
When I got home, Phoenix and they were still preparing dinner unhurriedly, and when they saw me coming back, Phoenix said, "Xiao Yi, someone from the adventurer's base was looking for you just now." ”
"Oh?" I raised an eyebrow: "Did you say anything?" ”
Phoenix said: "It was said that there was a call from you, but I didn't say who exactly called." ”
"Oh...... I know. ”
I was going to avoid the guys who were following me so that Wren could find their lair, but it looks like I'm going to have to go out and visit the adventurer's base now.
As soon as I left the house, I felt like I was being locked by a few breaths, and then continued to follow me...... , these guys are really waiting next to my house.
Pretending not to know at all, I walked quickly to the adventurer's base, and after explaining my identity to the staff, the staff said: "That's right, Mr. An Xiaoyi, the call just now was from Eri City, and the names of the callers are Yuasa Ren and Nitta Hao. ”
"Yuasa Ren and Hiroshi Nitta...... It turned out to be them," I said to myself, "Since it's them...... I guess there's some new information to report to me, right? ”
Thinking of this, I paid the fee and dialed the call crystal.
Soon, I connected to the call from Eri City, and I made it clear that I was looking for Yuasa Ren and Hiroshi Nitta.
The staff member who answered the call was a little impatient and said, "Where do these two people live?" ”
I was stunned for a moment when I was asked, speaking of which, I had never asked the addresses of Yuasa Ren and Hiroshi Nitta, so naturally it was impossible to know.
The staff on the other end of the crystal said, "Hey? Feed? Are you still there? Speak! ”
I snorted and said, "That...... I'm sorry, but I don't know their addresses. ”
"Really, really troublesome......"
I heard the impatient muttering of the staff.
Then there was the sound of churning things, and all kinds of chattering nonsense, and I tried to say 'hey' a few times, but I didn't get the slightest response.
I wanted to hang up the call, but I was worried that the staff had already gone to Yuasa Ren and Hiroshi Nitta, so I had to hold the call crystal in one hand and hold my chin in the other, sitting on the chair and waiting.
While waiting, I felt helpless about the changes in Eri City.
I think when I was still living in Ari City, although the staff of the adventurer base were also cold and difficult to speak, they were absolutely efficient, as long as it was within the scope of their business, they would complete it with high efficiency, and there would never be procrastination or complaining.
On the contrary, now, they are even troublesome to help check the address of the resident and call the other party to answer the call, and these things are not for them to do in vain, we need to pay a handling fee!
Could it be that the staff at the Ari City Adventurer Base have abandoned their work ethic in favor of a life creed of eating and waiting for death?
I secretly decided in my heart: from the day I supported Rodney to ascend to the city lord of Eri City, I must clean all the adventurer bases in Eri City, and remove all those moths that are incapable of eating and waiting for death from the base, no matter which noble family they belong to, or who is a high-ranking person among their relatives, I will not look at any of them!
What I want to look at is the degree of dedication, that is, the strength of the ability, as for the family situation, I still say that the power of any family can only be exerted when there are members alive, once the family disappears from the Zephyr Continent, its so-called power will naturally not exist.
Maybe by the day Rodney takes power, I'll kill a lot of people...... If I don't know, I'll even become an enemy of the whole of Ari, or a nightmare for Ari.
Sticking out my index finger and scratching my face, I smiled: "It seems good to be an enemy and a nightmare." ”
When I first thought of this, a voice came from the other end of the call crystal, it was Xintian Hao's voice: "Is it Lord An Xiaoyi?" ”
"It's me."
"Oh, my lord, I just called you, you weren't at home, I thought you were busy, so I hung up and left, planning to contact you again tomorrow, I really didn't expect you to call directly, I'm here, I'm ......" His words, flattering with helplessness, I listened very comfortably.
"I don't need to explain, I understand" interrupted him, and I said, "Tell me, what's the matter with your call to me today?" ”
"Hey, yes, yes" Nitta Hao hurriedly said: "My lord, have you heard, that Carter Rodney, the youngest son of the city lord, was hit hard not long ago when he farmed monsters and died!" ”
When I heard the news, I couldn't help but be stunned: It's only been a few days, and the message of Rodney's fake death has been transmitted to Eri City so quickly?
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency?" Hiroshi Nitta called me tentatively.
"Ah, I listen, did they say that Rodney was attacked by some monster and died?"
"This ......" he muttered at the microphone for a few seconds, "the newspaper didn't say it, it was all spread in the neighborhood, but my lord, you also know that only five out of ten rumors in the neighborhood are true, and the other five are made up, you ask us how Master Rodney died, we haven't seen this with our own eyes, so we can't answer you!" ”
