Chapter 661 The Queen’s Request

In Zephyr Continent, things like killing and being killed happen almost every day, whether it is between people and monsters, or between people.

The difference is whether this kind of thing is done secretly or openly.

Due to the predatory nature of the Zephyr Continent, the former is almost ignored by no one, except for those adventurers who make a living by accepting these cases; the latter must be treated on a case-by-case basis.

If it's because of enmity between each other, that's okay, but if it's because of aggression or wanton killing to satisfy selfish desires, then a real war is not far away.

The special envoy of Dashai City represents the will of the supreme leader of Dashai City, the leader of the orc tribe. He will not make fun of such things casually.

And the Elf Queen who told me this matter would never tell nonsense like those traders and pawns in the market.

Although I still don't know why the Elf Queen wants to tell me this, I have a feeling that she is probably going to use me as a slave.

Seeing that I had no reaction, the Elf Queen continued: "It is true that the adventurers in Airui City gathered and sent troops to invade the border of Dashai City. Now the Lord of Dashai City is negotiating with the Lord of Airui City, but just in case, the Lord of Dashai City You specially sent a special envoy here to discuss the alliance with me, An Xiaoyi, do you understand what this means?"

"war?"

"Yes," said the Elf Queen, "it's war."

As she spoke, she stood up, walked slowly, and said: "The Zephyr Continent has lived in peace for thousands of years. Because of the appearance of a chess piece like Achilles, the Zephyr Continent has managed to maintain peace for thousands of years and fell into a precarious situation. .”

"War is a catastrophe." The queen turned to look at me and said, "An Xiaoyi, do you think you and your fiancées can escape this catastrophe?"

"I don't know," I shrugged, "but I'll try to avoid it."

"If Achilles, leading the adventurers of Airui City, defeats other towns, and if the lord of Airui City becomes the master of this gentle continent," the Elf Queen said, "An Xiaoyi, do you think you will survive?" Do you need to calm down?"

"Maybe." I spread my hands and said, "Besides, even if the Carter family becomes the masters of this peaceful continent, it seems that the ones who will be most affected are not ordinary people like us. Those who are really affected and whose status is shaken, They should be the descendants of legendary heroes like you."

"Yes, maybe you are right, but do you hope that someone as cruel as the Lord of Airui City will lead this peaceful continent? Or do you hope that everything will remain unchanged and that peace and tranquility will remain as it is now? "

I thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, the Zephyr Continent is not at peace now. Intrigues, conspiracy and frame-ups happen from time to time. Not long ago, the elders of the nobles threatened me to reveal that the goblins were hiding. His whereabouts."

The Elf Queen was silent.

She was silent and frowning, as if she was unhappy with what I just said; or maybe she was reflecting on the rude attitude of the old witch named Mai Sonoda.

After a long while, she said: "What Sonoda Mai did before was very rude. I apologize to you on her behalf."

"There's no point in apologizing." I waved my hand and said, "In her eyes, we are indeed **. Okay, Her Majesty, no need to beat around the bush. Tell me everything you want to say. I'll hurry up." Time, my family is still waiting for me to go back for dinner."

The Elf Queen sighed and said: "Okay, let me tell you straight. According to reports from my subordinates, you and Achilles have a very good relationship. I hope you can do something for me."

"whats the matter?"

"Help me get rid of Achilles."

"I reject."

"Why?"

"There is no reason" I said: "You just said that Achilles and I have a very good relationship. Well, let's just assume that you are right. Our relationship is indeed very good, but just because of our good relationship, I There is no reason to kill Achilles. Besides, I can’t kill him at all. I will not do such an act which is tantamount to suicide.”

"I'm not asking you to kill him head-on, but I'm asking you to use assassination to get rid of him."

"I'm sorry, I rarely assassinate people," I said, "Also, why should I kill him?"

"As long as Achilles is killed, Ai Rui City will lose a major force, and the key factor that disrupts Zephyr Continent will be solved."

"Ha Ha, I laughed.

The Elf Queen's expression remained unchanged, but there was dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, your idea is very bold, but I don't agree with it."

The Elf Queen frowned slightly and said, "Why don't you agree?"

"First of all, Achilles is indeed the greatest fighting force in Airui City. This is true. However, you have to know that it is not Achilles' own will that directs Achilles to cause continuous killings, but Airui City. What the City Lord thinks?" I also stood up and said calmly: "So, even if Achilles is really killed, the situation of the war in Zephyr Continent will still not change."

"But at least the status quo can be maintained," the Elf Queen said: "By containing the uncertain factor of Airui City, there may be a possibility for Zephyr Continent to continue to maintain peace."

"Containment?" I asked: "How to contain it? What do you want to rely on to contain the city lord who wants to rely on war to maintain his ambition? Is it by persuasion or by force? If you rely on persuasion, how many do you have? What’s the certainty? If it relies on force, what’s the difference between it and the city lord of Airui City?”

"Then do you have any good ideas that can prevent the war and maintain the existing peace in Zephyr Continent?" The Elf Queen said, "I am all ears."

I shrugged and said: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Queen, I don't have any idea. The real cause of all these problems does not lie with Achilles, but with the Lord of Airui City and his two sons. Besides, even if I agreed, but I may not be able to hurt Achilles. Even if I can really hurt him, I will definitely die in his hands. I am timid and afraid of death, and I have a group of fiancées. I am destined not to be a warrior. I hope you will Find another job.”

After that, I stood up and walked out the door.

"Please wait a moment," the Elf Queen said again.

"Huh?" I turned my head: "Is there anything else?"

The Elf Queen clenched her fists, sighed, and said, "I still want to thank you for obtaining the goblin puppet design drawings for our elves, thank you."

As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly and saluted me.

I shook my head and turned to leave.

After exiting the gate, I saw Emily sitting in the garden, and stepped forward and asked, "Aren't you going in to accompany the Queen?"

Emily looked at me and said lightly: "Did you reject her?"

I nodded: "Rejected."

"Why?" Emily asked, "I can't understand."

I sighed and said calmly: "If one day you have a friend or someone you cherish, you will understand this feeling."
