Chapter 244: About the Holy Dan
"Sainte?" At the sight of the word, Leo almost lost his composure. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Leo doesn't know what kind of creature Xiaobai is in the white giant egg in the Shengdan, Xiaobai has always saved Leo many times in life and death, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Leo's biggest life-saving hole card and secret.
However, judging by Cleverley's performance, does he already know that Leo got the Holy Pill from the dead Holy Ascetic Ambrosi? Leo secretly wondered in his heart.
In addition to Leo himself, the only people who knew that Saint Dan was on Leo were the other two people who were present at the time - the mysterious Sanctuary powerhouse Lei Feng and the temple warrior Darwin. Could it be that one of these two people leaked the secret?
Leo took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the monstrous waves surging in his heart, and pretended to smile calmly: "The treasure that can make the powerhouse of the Sanctuary die because of it seems to be indeed extraordinary." ”
"Huh?" Cleverley looked at Leo curiously and said, "Lord Leo, I didn't say that Lord Ambrossi died because of Saint Dan, but why are you so sure?" You were there. ”
"Of course not! It's just a natural inference on my part. Leo immediately denied it. Feeling that he was too excited, Leo simply picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank the entire glass in one gulp.
But after the hot liquor flowed from his throat to his body, instead of calming down, Leo felt that his whole body began to become more hot and restless.
Cleverley glanced at Leo with a smile, and suddenly lowered his voice and said to Leo, "Do you know Lord Leo, that Saint Pill was actually transported by my father, Lord Toambrossi. When I heard the news of Mistress Ambrosi's death, my father was furious. ”
This Saint Pill actually belongs to the Li'an family? Leo's heart jumped again.
Everyone knows that Cleverley's father is the contemporary Duke of Leo, as the head of the imperial party and one of the biggest figures in the Spanny Empire, if Duke Leo knows that Saint Dan is in Leo's hands, it will definitely be a very bad result for Leo!
At this point, the more he knew about the importance of the Saint Dan to the Rian family, the more Leo could not admit that the Saint Pill was in his hands, otherwise he would only cause himself a lot of trouble out of thin air.
So Leo immediately snorted again and opened the topic: "In recent years, the relationship between the Holy Sect and the royal family has not been very good, I didn't expect the Duke to be able to believe in Lord Ambrossi so much, it's also rare." ”
Cleverley glanced at Leo meaningfully, his eyes were not strange, but they made Leo's heart feel a chill, and he actually had a feeling of being completely seen through.
This feeling immediately reminded Leo of another person, the master of the Inquisition, Cheeto, who had a pair of magical eyes that could see through people's hearts. This feeling that Cleverley gave Leo was the same thing Leo had felt when he first met Cheetos, and that time it was much stronger than it was now.
However, before Leo could react, Cleverley already smiled and said, "Lord Leo doesn't know, Lord Ambrosi and my father have known each other since they were young, and His Majesty had not yet ascended the throne at that time. Otherwise, my father would not have entrusted Shengdan to him so reassuringly. ”
"I see." Leo nodded, and said in his heart that Cleverley seemed to be holding on to the Holy Dan, and after thinking about it, he simply put his mind to the side and said to Cleverley: "Then about this lost Holy Dan, little duke, have you found any clues?" ”
In Leo's opinion, it is impossible to leave this topic anyway, so it is better to take the initiative to test how much Cleverley knows about this, whether he is bluffing to scare himself or whether he really has something in his hands.
Cleverley smiled slightly, and instead of answering Leo's question immediately, he reached out and picked up the wine glass in front of him, and took a sip in an elegant posture.
For some reason, looking at Cleverley's calm appearance, Leo suddenly felt the urge to punch him in the nose in the face.
"Actually, there are no clues." Cleverley smiled: "I have to admit that the person who did it did a very beautiful job, although there are many masters in the family, but even Lord Ambrossi's body has not been found." ”
"That's a shame." Leo couldn't help but sigh, but his heart slowly calmed down as if he had taken a reassuring pill. After thinking about it for a while, he said insincerely: "I hope that the little duke can find out the whereabouts of this holy pill as soon as possible." ”
"yes." Cleverley nodded and agreed with Leo's statement: "To be honest, there is actually a secret contained in this Holy Pill, but judging from the current situation, I'm afraid that the person who obtained the Holy Pill has not discovered the mystery yet!" ”
Leo was shocked in his heart, could it be that this Cleverley actually knew what race Xiaobai was? However, judging from the fact that the source of Shengdan is Duke Lian, Cleverley, as the next Duke of Lian, knows some secrets about Shengdan, which seems to make sense.
So Leo pretended to be curious and asked, "Little Duke, what is the secret in this Holy Pill?" ”
Cleverley glanced at Leo with a strange expression, and said with a smile: "Well, this is a family secret, so it's inconvenient to tell Leo." ”
Leo was stunned again when he heard this, and then scolded in his heart. Since this Cleverley told the secret contained in the Holy Pill and didn't tell himself what it was, didn't he deliberately antagonize people's appetites!
However, since it was confirmed that Cleverley and the Golden Lion family did not have any substantial evidence in their hands, Leo was naturally much more relieved. After a few more small talks, he was about to leave, but Cleverley did not hold back, and the two walked out of the Violet Tavern along the dimly lit corridor, and after saying goodbye at the door, they left in separate cars.
Leo is now a figure with a head and a face, so a carriage from the Grace House has naturally been waiting at the door of the Violet Tavern for a long time. Although Darwin was in the city of Ridmar at the moment, since the Templar's injuries were still unrecovered, the task of driving naturally fell on Morata.
For some reason, Leo came out of the Violet Tavern feeling very hot in his heart, so Leo did not get into the carriage, but sat next to Morata's coachman's seat, feeling the night breeze from the city of Ridmar.
This move made Morata stunned, but the clever deacon immediately reacted and took the initiative to open the conversation: "My lord, how does it feel to eat with this little duke?" ”
Leo thought for a moment and replied, "The food tastes good, but it doesn't feel good to chat with him." ”
In fact, it's not just not good, it's just terrible.
In retrospect, Cleverley was completely in charge of the conversation at the dinner just now, and Leo could only passively follow Cleverley's train of thought.
This feeling of being led by others everywhere is really unpleasant, but it also proves that Cleverley is indeed a figure that should not be underestimated.
Leo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that this lion king plan is actually not as unbearable as Antonidas said, the person who won from such a cruel elimination and obtained the qualification to inherit the duke's throne is really first-class in terms of means and scheming.
However, Leo did not notice that not far from the front of the road, a black figure was standing on the top of the building on the right side of the street, and this black figure was covered by a black cloth all over his body, revealing only a pair of shining eyes and the cold sword in his hand.
