Chapter 252 What Happened with Old Patch

"Stop teasing me," I sneered, "Just you, and the girl? I think you haven't even had a wife yet."

"Who said I didn't!" Harold was filled with indignation: "My team members are like my children."

Hearing this, I suddenly remembered the man in a certain comic who had two white beards and was called the strongest.

I suddenly became interested: "Hey, Harold, have you ever thought about becoming a free pirate?"

Harold looked confused: "Pirate? What is that?"

"It is a legendary profession that is popular on the blue planet. It is a symbol of bravery and fearlessness, but it seems that it can also be related to greed."

After listening to the first half of the sentence, Harold had an expression of great interest. However, when he heard me mention greed, his newly ignited interest was like a match submerged in the basin. With a snort, there was not even a spark. No more.

"Thank you very much for your suggestion, but it doesn't sound right to me."

I spread my hands and shook my head, sighing that it was a pity.

I followed Harold to his office and closed the door. I found a chair at the table and sat down. He poured me a glass of water and handed it over: "What do you want to do with me this time?"

After drinking some water, I smacked my mouth and said, "Hey, it's just water. It would be better if there is tea."

Harold raised his eyebrows, stood up and took out a small pot, made me a pot of tea, poured it full, and said, "Can we talk now?"

"Of course." I went straight to the point: "I want to ask you, what is the next task?"

"We don't know about this yet." Harold sat back on the sofa, leaned over and said, "You need to turn in this mission before you can be prompted for the next mission."

As he said that, he suddenly raised his head and said with a smile on his face: "What, do you have something to ask me for?"

I scratched my head and laughed: "You think too much, why should I ask you for anything~"

"Oh~" Harold's voice suddenly rose an octave: "Well, since you have nothing to ask me for, you can go back after drinking this cup of tea. I have many things to do every day, but I am very busy!"

I:

"Well, I do have something to ask you." I had to answer honestly.

Harold smiled and shook his head: "I knew you had something going on, tell me, what is it?"

"Ah, that's what happened."

I told Harold exactly what happened to Old Patch. Harold was silent for a while and said, "Well, I probably understand the story. You are saying that he has no money to find a better doctor and wants me to help him." He found a famous doctor to treat his wife, right?"

I nodded quickly and said, "That's it."

"Can."

"Ah? What did you say?" I didn't hear clearly.

"I said, yes -" Harold said seriously: "After all, he is from Airui City. When he encounters difficulties, I should help him."

As he said that, he stood up, walked to me, patted my shoulder, and said, "This time, I don't need you to acknowledge my kindness. On the contrary, I have to thank you properly."

"no need thank me?"

"Thank you for telling me about the difficulties faced by the residents of Airui City," he said. "As the captain of the city's defense, I don't even know about the difficulties faced by the residents of Airui City. Speaking of which, I feel a little ashamed."

"What are you ashamed of?" I said: "You are an adventurer, not a resident investigator. These things were not your responsibility to begin with, but now you forcefully put the responsibility on your shoulders. I said, you are not a Holy Mother, right?" "

"Mother's Heart? What is it?" Harold asked again.

It seems that there is still a certain cultural gap between Zephyr Continent and Azure Planet.

"Ah, this is a not-so-good thing, embodied in overflowing sympathy."

"I'm not overly sympathetic," Harold explained. "After all, I hold an important position. I need to stabilize the people's hearts in Airui City so that it can be managed easily and maintain long-term stability."

"Hey, I don't see that you have a leadership policy." I smiled and said: "Whenever you run for the city leader of Airui City, I will definitely vote for you."

"Enection? Are you kidding? The position of city lord of Airui City has always been abdicated. I only hope that the next city lord can abdicate to a virtuous person instead of a cruel person." Harold was a little disappointed. It could be seen that , he was also worried about the future of Airui City.

However, the resignation of the next city lord is decided by the previous city lord alone. Unless the city lord dies violently, or he is simply a puppet, other people have no right to interfere.

"This is not what we should worry about. After all, the decision on the position of city lord has nothing to do with us." I told the truth: "Everything depends on how the city lord decides. Anyway, people like me Ordinary people, as long as they have enough to eat and clothing to wear every day, they will never be more satisfied.”

"There is something wrong with your idea," Harold corrected him righteously: "Every resident of Airui City has the obligation to fight for a bright future for Airui City. This is not a personal problem, but a centripetal force of the town. question!"

Yes, it extends to the political level.

I felt helpless.

Harold talked to me for a long time about the relationship between the residents and the town, which made me dizzy and uncomfortable.

To be honest, in my previous life, I was not interested in political matters. Sometimes, I would fall asleep listening to a certain network broadcast.

When I came to this life, I thought I could get rid of boring political issues. Who would have expected that because of a mistake in one sentence, I would fall into the abyss of political topics again.

Finally, Harold finished talking about the basic political issues, and I peeked at the watch. It took half an hour.

You really can speak!

I couldn't help but sigh.

Harold stood up and said to me, "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Of course I'm going to the old Patch's house you mentioned," he said, "I always want to see what's going on first."

"Ah, if you didn't tell me, I almost forgot."

Then, Harold and I walked side by side and left the Heroic Guild.

The moment before I walked out of the door, I took a few more glances at the two adventurers at the door. Their faces were ashen, and their expressions looked like fish that were about to die.

I deliberately grinned at them, but they were so frightened that they trembled and sat down on the ground together.

I guess they thought I was going to snitch on Harold.

Hum, then they guessed wrong.

Not only did I not report it, I even deliberately forgot about it, but...

When I go in and out of here, I will glance at them more or less, trying to put a little more pressure on their fragile little hearts, so that they can be frightened for a few days, so that they can repair their arrogance and temper their pride. It sharpens their edges and makes them understand that no matter how ordinary people are, there will always be a few rich and powerful friends behind them.
