Chapter 258: Old Acquaintances
Leo was taken aback by this uninvited guest, and subconsciously glanced at the other party. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The person who came was a middle-aged man between forty and fifty years old, his clothes were very luxurious, his face with clear lines made him look very stable, and the wisp of goatee under his chin added a bit of maturity, and the whole person was very unangry and arrogant.
"Strange, why does this person look familiar?" Leo's heart was secretly wondering.
As if seeing the doubts in Leo's heart, the middle-aged man smiled and introduced himself: "Juan, who sat down with you to eat just now, is my son. β
The middle-aged man who stopped Leo was the Marquis of Habs, the current head of the Blood Wolf family and the Minister of Justice of the Empire. When Leo heard this, he immediately realized that the reason why the Marquis looked so familiar was because the son of Viscount Juan looked very similar to him.
Given that Viscount Juan and himself were still allies, Leo obviously didn't want to be too rude, so he took the initiative to stretch out his hand: "It turned out to be His Excellency the Marquis of Habs, it's a pleasure to meet you." β
The Marquis of Habs shook Leo's hand with a smile on his face, and repeated the question he had just asked: "Now can we talk?" He made a gesture of please, apparently asking Leo to keep up with him.
Leo hesitated, but instead of taking a step, he asked, "What are you talking about?" β
In view of the Empire's contemptuous attitude towards Leo and his party at today's field banquet, if the Marquis of Habs was making some kind of communication on behalf of the royal family, then there was no need for this conversation to continue.
What is the most important thing for a man, of course, is face! This principle is a universal rule in any world.
The Marquis of Habs stood still, turned back and smiled, "An old acquaintance of yours wants to see you." β
The marquis was not angry or annoyed by Leo's successive hesitations and hesitations. You must know that with the Marquis of Habs as one of the cabinet members and the Minister of Justice, there are very few people in the empire who don't nod their heads when they talk to him, let alone have such a dismissive attitude as Leo today.
From this point of view, the Marquis's cultivation is undoubtedly quite good.
But even so, Leo still chose to get to the bottom of the matter and asked, "Can the Marquis tell me who this old acquaintance of mine is?" β
The Marquis Habs smiled and walked straight forward, not looking intent on answering Leo's questionβat least not until Leo caught up with him.
Looking at the figure of the Marquis of Habs slowly moving away, Leo felt quite entangled in his heart.
According to Leo's usual personality, he would definitely have followed at this moment, but after encountering two killers in succession in the past two days, Leo's heart at the moment is inclined to be cautious and conservative, and he is even more wary of people like the Marquis of Habs who meet for the first time.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally difficult to get Leo to obediently follow the Marquis of Habs.
Seeing that the figure of the Marquis of Habs was about to disappear from Leo's eyes, a thought suddenly flashed through Leo's mind: "Wait! Acquaintance with this marquis and an old acquaintance of mine, is it - Princess Bela? β
Judging from the fact that Princess Bella is sitting next to His Majesty the Emperor today, it seems that it is not surprising that she knows the Marquis of Habs, an important minister of the Empire.
At this moment, the mountain-like figure of the third adjudicator appeared behind Leo: "My lord, is there something wrong?" β
"Follow me." Leo did not explain, but chased after the Marquis Habs.
At this moment, the campfire is everywhere, the loud singing accompanied by the sound of musical instruments is everywhere, and countless red men and green women are talking or cheating between the bonfires, and the cheerful sound fills every corner of the air. Leo followed closely in the footsteps of the Marquis of Habs through the tents, and soon came to a humble tent.
"That guy is waiting for you inside." The Marquis Habs stopped and smiled mysteriously at Leo.
Is it really Princess Bela? What did she ask me to do at this time, could it be that the few glasses of wine she drank at the banquet and the various situations she had seen along the way made Leo's heart shake a little at this moment. After taking a deep breath, Leo motioned for Adjudicator Three to stay outside, then lifted the curtain on the tent door and stepped inside.
Then Leo was immediately disappointed.
There was indeed a man in the tent, and this man was indeed an old acquaintance of Leo. But this man is not the princess Bella that Leo longs for, but-
"Lord Lei Feng." Leo exhaled heavily, and looked at the other party with some surprise: "I didn't expect the old acquaintance that the Marquis of Habs told me about turned out to be you." β
Still the same iconic green hat and gray cloak, Lei Feng was sitting on the only chair in the tent at this moment, holding a teacup in his hand, and the small teapot on the table in front of him was still steaming outward.
Leo's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly found that this mysterious Sanctuary powerhouse who had not revealed his true face in front of him seemed to like drinking "tea", a drink from the Far East.
Lei Feng hummed lightly, and then took a sip of tea.
Perhaps because he had just drunk a few glasses of wine, Leo felt an urge to lift the hat as he watched the teacup sink into the black veil that hung down from the edge of the hat.
But Leo quickly suppressed the impulse. Judging from the current level gap between the two, even if Leo really did this, it was a question of whether he could touch the edge of the hat.
The teacup was put back on the table, and then Lei Feng's calm voice like a lake sounded in the tent: "Tell me about your experience for a while." β
Leo was stunned for a moment, but quickly recounted his experience from entering the Holy See to today. It's just that Leo didn't tell everything to the mysterious powerhouse in front of him without reservation, but hid something about the egg "Xiaobai" in his mind.
Although Shengdan was able to come to Leo's hands because of Lei Feng, after having a meal with Cleverley, the only candidate for the next Duke of Lean, not long ago, Leo suddenly had a feeling in his heart that Lord Lei Feng might not know the secret of Xiaobai's body.
Since Leo was talking about what had happened to him all month long, it took Leo half an hour to tell all of this, no matter how concise he was.
After listening quietly to Leo's story, Lei Feng, who was sitting in the chair, finally spoke: "Show it to me." β
Although there was no beginning or end to this, Leo understood it immediately.
When the two first met in the Lito Mountains, Lei Feng once said to Leo: "Since you are now a blue bishop in the church, my first request is that within ten years, you must find a way to get the Michael's scepter in the church and give it to me." β
To pay, or not to pay, this is a question.
