Chapter 2129 Carter Horton’s Roar

I forced myself to calm down, forced out a smile, motioned for everyone to continue, and then went to the backyard alone, holding the phone crystal.

The atmosphere of the dinner, which had been ruined by my gaffe, soon became active again.

Through the glass door, I watched everyone drinking happily and eating contentedly. I breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, my heart was hanging again.

I thought that using Xuanxuan's way of speaking could make Carter Horton avoid the enemy, but unexpectedly, it actually backfired, forcing him to dig into the Gobi Desert and mine fine gold and mithril at all costs.

This was completely beyond my expectations.

In other words, this was actually what I expected, but I didn’t want it to happen, so I deliberately pretended that I didn’t expect it.

But with everything that is happening now, even if I want to escape, it is no longer possible.

There is only one thing I can do now - delay the excavation as long as possible.

With the last bit of luck, I asked Master Dewey: "My adoptive father, Carter Horton, did he send troops to garrison?"

"Yes," Master Dewey said in a deep voice, "This time, he sent out heavy troops and surrounded the place into an iron barrel."

"Can it be torn apart?"

"This is not difficult, but it will cause a lot of losses." Master Dewey sighed softly and said: "After all, there are two national forces in the surrounding army this time, and they are both special professions, one is a decisive fighter, and the other It’s the wind chaser.”

".Sorry, adoptive father, I have never heard of these two professions."

"I know you haven't heard of them, that's why I said in advance that they are special professional adventurers."

"Okay" I sighed and said, "Do you think if I talk to Carter Horton now, would it be possible for him to take back this stupid decision?"

"Absolutely not" Master Dewey denied: "Carter Horton still cares about face."

I suddenly felt a black line on my forehead: "Face is worthless at all, at least it's much cheaper than life."

"I know this, but Carter Horton won't think so. But this is just my personal analysis. You can give it a try. Maybe Carter Horton is interested and willing to listen to your advice."

"How is this possible!" I blurted out, and then I was silent for a few seconds, and then whispered: "If it is really one in ten thousand, I really want to give it a try."

"Rather than just sit back and wait, it is better to act immediately." Master Dewey was silent for a few seconds and said: "At this time, Carter Horton has probably had dinner and is reading official documents. It is just the right time to contact him."

"I understand, foster father."

After saying that, I immediately hung up the call, walked through the hall, put on my coat, and walked towards the door.

Barbara's voice sounded from behind: "What are you doing in such a hurry?"

While putting on my shoes, I responded: "It's business, I'm in a hurry. Oh, by the way, leave two of your grilled white fish for me and I'll come back to eat them!"

"Huh! I won't give it to you to eat! I want to eat them all without leaving any of them."

The door was closed tightly, blocking out Barbara's proud complaints.

I winked at the treehouse and gave a thumbs up, and the treehouse shook its branches a few times in response.

Walk all the way to the adventurer base.

At the base, the staff had just finished the busiest period of the day and were getting together to have dinner. When they saw me barging in in such a hurry, they couldn't help but be surprised. At the same time, they felt resentful. Many girls even put their resentment in front of me. On the face.

I understand their mood at the moment. They have been working hard all day and what they desire most is to have a lively and hot dinner. However, because of my sudden arrival, they are likely to lose the most enjoyable moment of the day. This gap between ideal and reality can easily breed resentment.

Bearing their resentful looks, I waved my hands dumbfounded: "Do whatever you are supposed to do, and ignore me. I'm here to borrow the communication crystal."

After hearing what I said, the staff member's face suddenly regained its brightness and sunshine, and the eyes he looked at me became gentler, with a hint of gratitude.

I didn't have time to pay attention to the contrast in the attitudes of these people. I quickly went up to the second floor, picked up the phone crystal, dialed the number in Airy City, and quickly contacted Carter Horton.

Sure enough, just as Master Dewey said, Carter Horton was leisurely flipping through official documents. When he heard that it was my call, he answered it without saying a word.

"So it's you." Carter Horton's tone sounded very relaxed, as if he was talking to an old friend after dinner. He even didn't forget to tease me: "Should I call you Prime Minister An Xiaoyi now? Or should I call you Prime Minister An Xiaoyi?" What about Elder An Xiaoyi?"

"Just call me An Xiaoyi," I said, "None of this is important. I am contacting you today because I have something important to explain to you."

"I don't dare to be Prime Minister An Xiaoyi." Carter Horton sneered: "What you said before made me miss food and drink for several days, and even my hair turned a lot of white. You want to ask me again?" I’ll explain it once, I’m afraid I won’t be able to save even one black hair on my head.”

"This is not a matter of black and white hair," I frowned, displeased, "but a matter of national security and the survival of the race!"

"The security of the country? The survival of the race?" Carter Horton sneered: "Since the melee period, our city of Ai Rui has been standing tall and unyielding. , which time did not push Airui City to the edge of the abyss? But in the end? Our dignified Airui City is still safe and sound, and is even stronger and more powerful than before! As for the survival of the race? Haha, have you seen when the human race is on the verge of extinction? In this Zephyr Continent, the fairies may perish, the elves may perish, the orcs, dwarves, and goblins may all perish, but only our human race will not perish! This is a witness to history! Yes An irrefutable fact!”

Listening to Carter Horton's roaring at the top of his lungs, I suddenly felt very funny, and I couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you laughing? What's so funny about you? As a human race, you don't care about the human race. Every day you think about hanging out with foreign races and helping them make profits. Haha, you even joined forces with the orcs to fabricate rumors about disasters to deceive me! Do you want to play me like a fool! Well! I'm afraid that will disappoint you. Although I, Carter Horton, am not an adventurer and my strength is mediocre, don't underestimate my courage as a monarch! Don't think that Only you adventurers are the strong ones who have survived through battles of life and death. Let me tell you, in the political arena without gunpowder smoke, the battles of life and death are even more frequent and thrilling than the experiences of you adventurers. ! If you are not careful, you will die and your family will be destroyed. Only the one who survives is the real king!"
