Chapter 626 Rebel
After thinking about the strength gap between him and me, he felt calmer and his speech became more natural.
Seeing that he was still standing in the middle of the road with a sad expression, I walked up to him and asked him, "Do you have something to say?"
Achilles raised his head, frowned slightly, and said, "No."
I'm dizzy. Without such a magical twist, according to common sense, you should say: Yes, there is indeed a lot to say.
In this way, I have the opportunity to say to you: Let's go, I'll buy you a drink, and you tell me what's going on in your stomach.
This is the most normal routine!
You said to me "No" out of the blue, asking me how to continue the topic in a logical way!
In order to alleviate the temporary embarrassment, I decided to make an exception, go beyond the routine, and change the topic directly to drinking.
"I'll buy you a drink." I raised my head and said.
Achilles looked at me in confusion.
This look in his eyes is quite normal. After all, he was tense a moment ago. At this moment, he was suddenly invited to drink. It was such a turn of events that no one could figure it out for a while.
I spread my hands and said: "Look, it's a cold day and night, so drinking is the best thing to do. Although it's not a reunion of old friends, after all, we have met each other, so we can still be considered acquaintances. How about today, I will make an exception. Please you drink."
"All right."
Achilles's answer was as cold as his whole being, but his movements were honest, and he followed me towards the tavern.
I did not choose the brightly lit taverns on the streets of Airey City, but deliberately found an inconspicuous tavern at the intersection of the civilian area and the slum area.
The tavern was deserted except for the owner, lying on the table and snoring.
After Achilles and I sat down, we raised our hands, slapped the table hard, and shouted: "Boss, serve the wine!"
The boss who was snoring suddenly jumped up from his chair and looked around in panic: "Who, who is calling me!"
"Here, here, here!" I shouted three times in a row, "Boss, serve the wine!"
"Hey" the boss coughed, walked quickly to the counter, scooped out a jug of wine from the big wine vat, and brought it to our table.
I looked at this small pot of something that looked like crude liquor and was speechless.
It’s not that the wine is not good, it’s that the amount of wine is too little.
The boss seemed to see that I was dissatisfied, so he asked, "Is there anything else I need to serve?"
I turned my head, pointed to the jug, and said, "Bring me ten more jugs of the same wine, and by the way, help me cut some beef or something."
"Oh, okay." The boss turned around and was about to leave. I stopped him, felt around in my pocket, took out a few silver coins, and handed them to him.
The boss was startled and exclaimed: "This, so much"
I said: "Take it and heat up the beef and wine. This friend and I will drink for a while. By the way, if there is nothing else, you can go down first and don't worry about us. If I need it, The place of help will call you.”
"Okay, okay" the boss thanked him and left quickly.
I picked up the wine glass on the side and poured a glass of wine for Achilles and me. I said, "This place looks shabby, but it's actually a pretty clean shop."
Achilles stared at the wine glass in his hand for a while and said, "It's quite clean."
After that, drink it all in one gulp.
I drank it too, finished it, and said to him: "The wine is a bit spicy, please be considerate."
"No, just right," Achilles said, "This is the most special wine I have ever drunk."
"That's right." I poured another glass and said, "You usually drink fine wine, but this time you suddenly drink a crude wine with a spicy taste. You will feel the unique taste when you can't sleep."
"No" Achilles shook his head: "I mean the mood of drinking."
Hey, I'm even playing with my emotions.
I smiled and said, "What's different about your mood?"
"Since I was awakened, I have never drank wine so peacefully," Achilles said. "Every day when I open my eyes, I hear all kinds of flattery and feel all kinds of flattery." I'm a little tired of my respect."
"Haha" I laughed dryly: "You are simply spoiled. What's wrong with being flattered and respected every day? It proves that you are strong."
"It's different." Achilles shook his head and said, "If these come from the sincerity, then that's fine, it's just..."
He shut up, and when I turned my head, the boss came over cautiously with wine and beef, and said, "I'm sorry, guest, the beef is a bit old."
"Isn't there something tenderer?" I looked at the really old beef on the plate and asked.
"No more." The boss said with a little regret, "Since the Orcs moved away, our supply of goods here has been reduced a lot. Now that Dashai City refuses to trade meat products here, the only meat that can be eaten is the meat that we raise ourselves." The environment here is not as good as that of Dasai City, and the meat quality of the livestock is much worse than what they raise."
"I understand." I waved my hand and said, "Go and do your business."
The boss retreated.
Achilles picked up a piece of beef, looked at it, and suddenly said: "Why doesn't Dasha City want to trade with us?"
I sighed and said, "It's not because you killed so many orcs."
"I killed all the traitors who wanted to overthrow the Carter family!" Achilles said sternly.
"You haven't really investigated, you just listened to Carter Scott's side of the story." I curled my lips, suddenly remembered something, and added: "Oh, by the way, there is also Carter Horton, he probably also agrees. These are traitors, right?"
Achilles was silent for a while, and then he said: "But they have evidence of these people's crimes in their hands."
"I still said the same thing, have you really investigated carefully?" I sighed and said, "You know, it is very easy to impose a crime on someone, especially if the other person is the lord of Airui City. Legend has it that Descendants of heroes.”
"I don't like it when you slander the descendants of legendary heroes like this," Achilles slowly put down the beef and said.
"I'm not slandering the descendants of legendary heroes, but there are some things that you'd better see and experience with your own eyes, so that you can get a more correct view." I said, "It's not that the descendants of legendary heroes are like Just like the legendary heroes, they are so powerful and great. The simplest example is that none of the descendants of the current heroes can reach the level of strength of the legendary heroes, don't you think so?"
After that, I started to chew the beef. Well, it was a bit old, but it was still edible.
Achilles was silent for a while. He picked up the beef he had put down before, took a few bites, chewed it carefully for a while, swallowed it, and then said: "What you said makes sense, and now Ai Ruicheng is indeed not what I thought."
