Chapter 243: One Dead and One Alive
"A living man, a dead man?" Leo couldn't help but frown when he heard what Cleverley said strangely. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"That's right." Cleverley nodded and sighed, "To be honest, the reason why I asked you out today is just to make friends with you. But some relatives and friends came to me after knowing about our meeting, and asked me to do something, so I didn't say no. "Saying that the whole person sighed for a long time, it seemed quite helpless.
Seeing this, Leo couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and said in his heart that I only agreed to go to the meeting when the sun set, and now it is not long after nightfall, and the time has passed in two or three hours at most. The city of Ridmar is so large that it takes a lot of time just for the person who sent the invitation to send the letter back and forth, and when you count the time you have come to this violet tavern, there is very little time left.
However, in such a short period of time, Cleverley's so-called relatives and friends learned the news so quickly? I really had to use this to deceive the child.
However, since he came to the meeting, Leo naturally made a certain amount of psychological preparation in his heart, so he snorted and said: "That's that, it's really troublesome to have human relations or something." But since I'm here, you might as well say it directly, little duke. ”
"Thank you, Lord Leo." Cleverley smiled and said, "Actually, this living person is mainly about my unsuccessful cousin." ”
"Cousin?" Leo was a little stunned, but immediately remembered that Cleverley's mother was from the royal family, so wouldn't he be talking about his cousin-
"This cousin of mine is His Royal Highness Emmanuel, who just fought with Lord Leo a few days ago." Cleverley smiled slightly, confirming Leo's judgment.
"Oh, I see." Leo nodded, and suddenly remembered that Emmanuel's mother also seemed to be from the Lean family, so wouldn't the relationship between the two families be that His Majesty the Emperor married the sister of Duke Lean, and then Duke Lean married the sister of His Majesty the Emperor? In other words, Duke Li'an is the brother-in-law of His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor is also the brother-in-law of Duke Li'an?
Leo couldn't help but shake his head, and said in his heart that the relationship between the two families was really messy enough.
Of course, Cleverley didn't expect that Leo was actually complaining about the chaotic kinship between their Lean family and the royal family, but Leo shook his head because of Emmanuel, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Leo, I think you misunderstood." This time, I was entrusted by my aunt, Lady Lean, the biological mother of Her Highness Emmanuel, to reach a reconciliation with Lord Leo on behalf of Her Highness Emmanuel. ”
"Reconciliation?" Leo looked at Cleverley in surprise, no matter how much he guessed in advance, Leo didn't expect that Cleverley's purpose would be like this: "Little Duke, I think I should have heard me right, right?" ”
"Leo-sama, you heard me right." Cleverley smiled slightly, then said, "And I'm not wrong. ”
Leo's mind was full of questions, Emmanuel, a reckless man, wanted to reconcile with him? And after he made him such a super ugly, he took the initiative to send someone to the door to reconcile?
Leo managed to suppress his chaotic thoughts, and looked up to find Cleverley still smiling at him, apparently still waiting for an answer.
Leo let out a heavy breath, looked at Cleverley and said in a deep voice, "I promised." As long as His Royal Highness the Grand Prince no longer comes to provoke me, I will not provoke him. ”
Regardless of what Emanuel's side thought, at least for Leo, in the royal stronghold of Ridmar City, which is surrounded by enemies, it is certainly not a bad thing to have one less enemy out of thin air.
Of course, Leo also understands that this may just be a temporary sum of the other party to buy time. But what if Emmanuel recovers after a while? Leo is very confident in his heart, and by that time, his progress will definitely far surpass that of Emmanuel!
Thinking of this, the corners of Leo's mouth couldn't help but curl slightly. I think you Emanuel needs time to recover, but doesn't I, Leo, need time to make myself stronger? In this case, who has the most to gain from this reconciliation? Hmph, that's actually hard to say!
It must be admitted that after being influenced by Bishop Gavin and taught by Daisy in the Holy See, Leo now has a faint little fox demeanor.
"Thank you, Lord Leo." Cleverley's face was happy, and the wine glass in his hand was immediately raised, and a smile involuntarily appeared in his tone: "Come, toast to this reconciliation between our two sides!" ”
"Cheers!" Leo raised his glass as well, and both of them drank the golden liquor from the glass at the same time.
After putting down the glass, Cleverley smiled and said, "Then the matter of the living man is thus settled, and we should now talk about the matter of the dead, Lord Leo." ”
"The dead?" Leo's face was silent, but his heart sank slightly. In fact, when Cleverley told him about the death of the dead man, Leo guessed the identity of the deceased. Who else is there besides Cleverley's half-brother Antonidas?
Thinking of this, Leo sneered again in his heart. It seems that this Cleverley obviously wants to start with his identity as an impostor bishop, so as to achieve the result of holding himself hostage.
If it had been a few days ago, this trick might have been effective, but now that Leo has basically cleared himself with the help of Bishop Gavin, how can this fake bishop pose any threat to Leo today?
So Leo couldn't help but speak: "Little Duke, the deceased you are talking about, is it your younger brother Antonidas?" ”
A sly expression suddenly flashed on Cleverley's face, and he smiled, "Of course not. Although Antonidas is indeed my own brother, everyone knows that he has long been expelled from the Golden Lion family by my father. Since he is no longer a member of my Golden Family, what does his life or death have to do with me? ”
"What?" Leo was really shocked: "But-"
"Nothing, dear Lord Leo." Cleverley looked at Leo with a smile: "What I want to ask you about is actually another person who disappeared in the Lito Mountains at the same time as Antonidas-the Holy Ascetic Ambrosi. ”
"Ambrosi?" Leo took a deep breath, and the old ascetic lying in the round pit in the Lito Mountains suddenly came to his mind. Leo clearly remembered that the old ascetic still had a sheepskin diary that Leo mistook for some peerless exercise, and Leo still had it with him.
Judging from the diary and the words of Antonidas and the mysterious powerhouse Lei Feng afterwards, there is no doubt that the old ascetic is the holy ascetic Ambrossi mentioned by Cleverley.
"That's right, Ambrosi." Cleverley had a smile on his face, not looking like he was talking about a dead man, but rather discussing some great event: "Lord Leo, have you ever seen this Sanctuary powerhouse?" ”
"Nope." Leo shook his head resolutely. More is better than less, such a simple truth, let alone Leo, even a three-year-old child knows.
"Really? That would be a pity. Cleverley sighed, looking a little sorry, "I've heard that Lord Ambrossi has a priceless treasure on him. ”
"What baby?" Leo's heart was pounding, but he asked with a pretended curiosity on his face.
Cleverley winked mysteriously at Leo, then smiled, "The name of that treasure is called Saint-Dan!" ”
