Chapter 717: The Empress's Please
In Zephyr 6, killing and being killed happens almost every day, whether it's between people and monsters, or between people. Bayi Chinese β€β€=.β₯8β 1β₯Zβ€=.βC=OM
The difference is whether this kind of thing is done secretly or in the open.
Due to the predatory nature of Zephyr 6, the former is almost unattended, except for those adventurers who eat by accepting these cases; The latter will be viewed on a case-by-case basis.
If it's because of mutual enmity, that's fine, but if it's because of aggression or to satisfy selfish desires, the real war is not far off.
The envoy of Dasai City represents the will of the supreme leader of Dasai City, the head of the orc clan, and he will not joke about this kind of thing.
And the Elven Empress who told me about this would never be like those peddlers and pawns in the market.
I don't know why the Elven Empress told me about this, but I have a feeling that she's going to call me as a slave.
Seeing that I didn't react, the Elven Empress continued: "It is true that Ari City gathered adventurers and sent troops to invade the border of Dasai City, and now the city lord of Dasai City is negotiating with the city lord of Ari City, but just in case, the city lord of Dasai City specially sent an envoy over to discuss the joint matter with me, An Xiaoyi, do you understand what this means?" β
"War?"
"Yes," said the Elven Empress, "it's war." β
As she spoke, she stood up, paced slowly, and said, "He Feng Da 6 has lived in peace for a thousand years, because of the appearance of such a chess piece as Achilles, it is easy for Zefeng Da 6 to maintain peace for a thousand years and fall into a crumbling situation. β
"War is a catastrophe" The empress turned to look at me and said, "An Xiaoyi, do you think you and your fiancΓ©es can escape this catastrophe?" β
"I don't know," I shrugged, "but I'll try to get out of the way." β
"If Achilles leads the adventurers of Eri City to defeat other towns, if the lord of Eri City becomes the master of this Zephyr 6" The Elven Empress said: "An Xiaoyi, do you think you will live peacefully?" β
"Maybe," I spread my hands and said, "Besides, even if their Carter family becomes the owner of this Zephyr 6, it doesn't seem that the biggest impact is not us ordinary people, but the ones who are really affected and shaken by their status should be the descendants of you legendary heroes." β
"Yes, maybe you're right, but do you want someone as brutal as the lord of Ari City to rule over this piece of Zephy6? Or do you want everything to remain the same, to maintain the peace and tranquility that it is now? β
I thought about it for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, the current harmony 6 is not peaceful, intrigues, assassinations and such things are happening from time to time, not long ago, the elders of the nobles threatened me to tell me the whereabouts of the goblin clan's hiding." β
The Elven Empress was silent.
She was silent and frowned, as if she were upset by what I had just said; Or maybe she was reflecting, reflecting on the rude attitude in the words of the old witch named Sonoda Dance before.
After a long time, she said: "Sonoda Mai's previous behavior was very rude, and I apologize to you on her behalf." β
"I don't need to apologize" I waved my hand and said, "In her eyes, I am indeed ** yes, okay, the Empress, don't go around in circles, just say what you have to say, I'm in a hurry, and the family is still waiting for me to go back to dinner." β
The Elven Empress sighed and said, "Okay, I'll just say it straight, listen to the reports of my subordinates, you have a good relationship with Achilles, I hope you can help me do something." β
"What's the matter?"
"Help me get rid of Achilles."
"I refuse."
"Why?"
"No why," I said, "You just said that I have a good relationship with Achilles, well, as you are right, our relationship is indeed very good, but it is precisely because of the good relationship that I have no reason to kill Achilles, and besides, I can't kill him at all, this kind of behavior is tantamount to suicide, I will not do it." β
"It's not for you to kill him head-on, but for you to use assassination to get rid of him."
"I'm sorry, but I rarely assassinate," I said, "and ah, why should I kill him?" β
"As long as Achilles is killed, Eri City will lose a major battle power, and the key factor that disrupts the Zephyr 6 will be solved."
"Huh," I laughed.
The Elven Empress's face remained unchanged, but from her eyes, there was a color of dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, your idea is very bold, but I don't agree with it."
The Elven Empress frowned slightly and said, "Where do you disagree?" β
"First of all, Achilles is indeed the biggest combat force in Eri City, this is true, but you must know that it is not Achilles' own will that commands Achilles to continue to kill, but the thoughts of the city lord of Eri City" I also stood up and said lightly: "So, even if Achilles is really killed, the situation of the war with the Wind 6 will not change." β
"But at least the status quo can be maintained," the Elven Empress said, "Containing the uncertain factor of Eri City, there may be a possibility that the peace will continue to be continued." β
"Containment?" I said, "How to curb it?" The kind of castle lord who wants to rely on war to maintain his ambitions, what do you want to rely on to curb his ambitions? Is it persuasion, or is it by force? How sure are you if you rely on persuasion? If it is by force, what is the difference between it and the city lord of Ari City? β
"Then what good ideas do you have to stop the war and maintain the existing peace with Zephyr 6?" The Elven Empress said, "I'm listening. β
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I don't have any ideas, the real cause of all this problem is not Achilles, but the lord of Eri City and his two sons, besides, even if I agree, I may not be able to hurt Achilles, even if I can really hurt him, I will definitely die in his hands, I am cowardly and afraid of death, and there are a group of fiancΓ©es, who are destined not to be warriors, I hope you can find another high position." β
With that, I got up and walked out the door.
"Please wait," the Elven Empress said again.
"Huh?" I turned my head: "Anything else?" β
The Elven Empress clenched her fists, sighed, and said, "I still want to thank you for winning the goblin puppet design blueprint for our elven race, thank you." β
As she spoke, she bowed her head slightly and bowed to me.
I shook my head and turned to leave.
Out of the gate, I saw Emily sitting in the garden, and asked, "Why don't you go in with the Empress?" β
Emily looked at me and said lightly, "You rejected her?" β
I nodded: "No." β
"Why?" Emily asked, "I don't understand. β
I sighed and said lightly: "If one day, you have a friend, or a cherished person, you will be able to understand this feeling." β
