Chapter 646 Owe Him a Favor
I leaned against the wall of the passage, waiting for Achilles' choice, and at the same time, I was thinking about my own choice.
Time passed by second by second, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes had passed.
In these ten minutes, every second seemed like a year.
God knows whether he will come out with Rodney and Eva in the next moment. I am completely unsure about this. After all, he was ordered by the second young master of the Carter family, but it was the third young master and fourth young lady of the Carter family who were arrested.
I chuckled: Your circle is really chaotic.
Finally, footsteps came from the door of the room, very slow and heavy, as if every step was done with all one's strength.
My heart was in my throat at this moment, and my hand unconsciously touched the handle of the Odachi. The murderous intention had slowly gathered in my chest, and I was only a moment away from being released.
The footsteps were getting closer and heavier, and I even felt that the airship was trembling and shaking.
It seems that this fight must be fought.
I sighed, ready to release my murderous intent.
Finally, the footsteps stopped, right at the door.
The next second, a strong figure walked out of the room, it was Achilles.
His face was still stern and his eyes were still tough. I slowly lowered my gaze and saw that each of his huge hands was holding a shelf?
The shelves were filled with the most expensive wines.
Achilles carried two wine racks in each hand and walked out with heavy steps. When he passed me, he said calmly: "There are no traitors in the room."
After that, he left the airship with a long stride.
Some of the other adventurers showed frustrated expressions, some showed lucky expressions, and some breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Achilles off the airship one after another.
After I took everything away, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped my sweat, and said, "It was so close, so close, I almost died."
Then, there was a plop, and the supervisor and two other staff members sat on the ground at the same time, breathing heavily with expressions on their faces as if they were surviving the disaster.
After catching his breath, the supervisor suddenly stood up and said to me with a warm and respectful expression on his face: "Mr. An Xiaoyi, you are able to remain calm in front of that Achilles. I really admire you. Got it!"
I waved my hand and said, "You're so calm, it's all just pretending. I almost peeed in fear, you know?"
The supervisor trembled all over and forced a smile: "You really love to joke."
The airship took off as scheduled, and through the cabin window, I saw Achilles carrying two shelves of wine and striding towards the commercial street.
I guess he is going straight to the city lord's palace to donate the wine as a trophy.
Everyone in the room looked like they were about to survive, especially Rodney and Eva. Eva even started crying, and Rodney also looked like he was about to cry, but luckily he held it back.
While comforting Eva, Jin Siqi asked: "Why did Achilles choose to take away the wine in the room instead of arresting Rodney and Eva?"
I was silent for a while and said seriously: "Because he is an alcoholic~"
I said the following words completely in a joking tone.
Jin Siqi glared at me fiercely. She no longer asked me, but asked Harold who was standing aside.
Harold thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe An Xiaoyi said something to him."
Jin Siqi turned her face to me again, her eyes full of curiosity and expectation.
I spread my hands, made an expression of 'I'm afraid of you', and said casually: "What a simple and clear thing. He is telling me that I owe him a favor and I will treat him to drinks twice in the future. .”
"Is this really true?" Jin Siqi looked at Harold with a disbelieving expression, trying to find the answer.
Harold shook his head again.
The distance between Dashai City and Airui City is not far. Apart from an entire forest frequented by ferocious beasts and monsters, it is the border between the two cities.
It can also be said that this dangerous forest is the only isolation zone between the two towns.
In fact, if you don't take the airship, you can travel from the border of Airui City to the border of Dasai City in about four or five days at the fastest.
Of course, this is predicated on the fact that you have to go through the forest in a straight line, and there has to be a smooth wind all the way.
If you get lost or encounter a ferocious beast, you will basically have a narrow escape from death.
Before the invention of airships, trade between Airei City and Dashai City relied on horse-drawn carriages. Often when a businessman traveled, he would invite several to hundreds of adventurers to accompany him. These adventurers were all recruited by A large amount of money was paid to escort the businessman.
Adventurers who can escort merchants through this forest are naturally very powerful, but even so, there are still dozens of adventurers and merchants trapped in it every year. Even if all of them can come out alive, they will be more or less injured. Suffer some injuries.
The kind of caravan that escapes without a scratch is probably a rare situation that relies on the blessings gained over several lifetimes.
After Dewey designed and invented the airship, Zephyr Continent instantly became a craze for airships, and in a very short period of time, most of the Zephyr Continent was popular - except for the unique existence of York and Hancheng.
Because the airship flies, it can directly avoid many troubles, so it soon became the only choice for merchants in Dashai City and Airui City to do business.
As a result, many adventurers lost the value of being employed by merchants, but in contrast, they also relieved a heavy burden.
After all, the monsters in this forest are far more ferocious than those in the dungeon.
The speed of the airship is still quite fast, comparable to passenger planes on earth. It only takes a few hours at most to reach the capital of Cyber City from the capital of Airey City.
On the morning of the next day we reached the capital city of Dasay and landed safely.
After getting off the airship, I did not go with Rodney and the others, but chose to say goodbye to them.
Rodney asked me: "Are you really not planning to stay? It might be faster to develop together."
I smiled and refused: "No, you go and develop your own strength. I have to rush to Moonlight City to find my fiancées."
"A grown man thinks about his fiancée all day long and has no ambition at all," Jin Siqi joked from the side.
These words made Rodney and Harold feel embarrassed.
I shrugged and said indifferently: "My ambition is to marry more beautiful women and let them give me a lot of children."
"Childish" Jin Siqi muttered again.
I scratched my head and said, "Forget it, I won't argue with you anymore. When you get along in the future, you will understand how I feel at the moment."
In fact, it's not that I really don't want to argue with her, but that her best friend, Xu Tengbo, was hacked to death by me.
You have to be an honest person. You can't kill other people's interests and force others to speak according to your wishes.
