A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 420 No Future
Flying Eagle sat across from Arthur. The place where the two met was Keen's Tavern in Valentine Town. Old Keen stood behind the bar and wiped his wine glass. Carmen, who consciously made room for Flying Eagle, and from outside The two little eagles who came in were leaning on the bar. Apart from that, since it was Sunday, there were not many other customers in the tavern at this time.

The whole tavern was also very quiet.

If you listen carefully, you can still hear old Keane himself complaining about life in the new century.

To be honest, Feiying was very surprised when Xiaoying found him and said that Arthur wanted to meet and talk with him.

After all, Feiying had come to Valentine specifically to invite Arthur before, but at that time, Arthur had already made his refusal very clear.

Today's situation is the same as before. Except that the situation of Flying Eagle and the others has become more and more difficult as the garrison of Fort Wallace is further oppressed, there has not been much change. So why did Arthur suddenly want to talk to him? What about a chat?

Feiying couldn't guess Arthur's intention, but he still came with an expectation that he didn't quite believe.

"Mr. Morgan, you came to me today because..."

"Don't be anxious." Arthur stopped Fei Ying who was about to ask straight to the point about his intentions. Then he smiled and stretched out his hand to greet old Keane and said:

"Boss, here are two wine glasses and a bottle of whiskey, and some snacks."

"Oh, okay, Mr. Morgan, long time no see. What have you been busy with recently?" Old Keane took this opportunity to chat with Arthur enthusiastically.

Arthur pretended to think for a moment, and then said in a funny tone:

"Making money, spending money, the cycle goes on and on. It's all very boring. Boss, are you still hiring a bartender here? Do you think I'm a good fit?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Morgan, you really know how to joke."

What Arthur said didn't matter, what mattered was Arthur's attitude.

Arthur is now considered a big shot, and he is still joking with him in such an approachable way. This really makes old Keane feel happy.

When old Keane went to get a drink happily, Arthur said to Fei Ying in a relaxed tone:
"Old Keane is a very interesting person. When I was still in Valentine, I would sometimes come here to have a drink by myself at night when I couldn't sleep. It's strange to say that there is such a thing as wine. It seems that I can drink anywhere, but sitting in this kind of tavern, chatting with other drinkers, and then listening to them talk about little things that happened around me, always makes me feel that the wine in the cup has changed. It’s a lot better to drink.”

"Mr. Morgan..."

"Just call me Arthur. I feel like I've heard a lot of people call me 'Mr. Morgan' recently. Do you know? It's the tavern owner you just saw, old Keane. He always complains about this." The world has become even worse..."

At this time, old Keane, who happened to be coming over with a glass of wine, heard Arthur saying, "The world has become worse."

He didn't care what Arthur said, he nodded and put the wine in front of the two of them, and skillfully picked up the words and continued:

"Isn't it! Mr. Morgan, do you know that there are people stealing things in taverns now? In the past, I had never heard of stealing things in taverns, let alone seen them. What now? Now I, an old guy, can All I did was hold on to my apron. I went to the bathroom yesterday, but when I came back, I saw a group of cowboys leaning on the bar and drinking my whiskey."

Regarding Old Keane's speech or complaint, Arthur nodded understandingly and said:

"Look away, at least they didn't pull out a gun to rob you, right? Looking on the bright side, the security in Valentine has indeed improved a lot, right?" "Indeed, this is all thanks to Mr. Morgan, but, There is never a conflict between the improvement of public security and the deterioration of people's hearts. They are just afraid of the consequences of being sanctioned, not out of their own moral restraint." After the old Keane said this, he seemed to feel that what he said It looked pretty good, so he happily went back to the bar to reward himself with a drink.

In response, Arthur just picked up the wine glass and motioned to Fei Ying to drink one together.

"cheers?"

"..."

Although until now, Feiying still didn't understand which play Arthur was acting in, he still picked up the wine glass and touched it with Arthur, and then said after the wine went down his throat:

"Mo... Arthur, you didn't just come to me to drink with you, did you?"

"Huh? Of course not. I still have some idea of ​​what Fei Ying is up to." Arthur smiled and put down his wine glass.

"In that case, what are we doing now?"

"Ah, this is a less serious start for the rest of the conversation, or for what I want to tell you next."

Although Arthur's behavior has been a bit unpredictable since Flying Eagle came in, Kitty and Carmen, who were sitting at the bar and watching here, had already guessed part of Arthur in their chat. intention, but the two of them still just looked at Arthur and the others without interrupting.

"Flying Eagle, you need to stop your attacks on Cornwall."

"why?"

Arthur answered while fiddling with the empty wine glass in front of him:

"Because the industries you attacked will soon no longer belong to Cornwall. Your destruction of them is only harming my interests, not Cornwall."

Hearing Arthur's words, Feiying was very shocked. Although he didn't understand why Cornwall's industry would become Arthur's, he still said stubbornly:
"Arthur, our attack is not just targeting Cornwall, we must use this method to attract the attention of the authorities."

That is to say, whether it is Cornwall's or Arthur's, they will do this as long as it is American industry.

"Want another drink?" Arthur was not in a hurry to continue the topic, but Feiying had no idea of ​​having another drink. Arthur just acted as if today's conversation was just a gathering between two friends to drink, but Arthur proposed This request basically has the same meaning as directly asking Feiying to give up resistance.

What else could be done without attacking Cornish industry?
Are you going to rob passing pedestrians and carriages indiscriminately, turning into a gangster, or are you going to fight the garrison at Fort Wallace and blindly seek death?
"Arthur, my father and I, and my tribe have always been grateful for your help, but this matter is of great significance to us. We are not only fighting for the right to live for ourselves, but also for the future. Indians fighting for their future.”

"The idea is good, but if you choose the wrong method. What will be the result? Not only will you lose the right to live, but even you Indians will lose your so-called future. Believe me, Flying Eagle, you are just taking your young The people of the tribe are doing things that are somewhat symbolic, but have no practical benefit."

Arthur's words were not tactful, but considering what was going to be said later, he decided to say all the unpleasant things first.
