Chapter 39: Outline
The girl behind the noble lady and the big man glanced at each other, and invariably chose to be silent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The named knight guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered a few words in front of the noblewoman, the coldness on her face gradually replaced by doubt.
"Is there any special mission that still needs to be here, and is it also part of the mission to visit the detainees?"
Without hesitation, she amplified her voice, pointing directly at Leo and Lindsay.
The knight guard was silent, hesitating to leave with Leo and Lindsay immediately, but the solemn atmosphere was broken by the voice.
"If it hadn't been for some accident, I would have been on my way to find your necklace at this point."
Leo stepped forward and said with a smile as he shifted his gaze to the two behind the noblewoman.
"Tsk, I warn you, don't make trouble here."
The lady was stunned for a moment, her narrow eyes quickly narrowed, almost turning into the same color as the eyeshadow, she glanced back and forth at Leo in front of her, and then snorted coldly and walked into the building with the two behind her.
The knight guard watched in disbelief as the figure of the noble lady disappeared into the entrance of the building.
Could it be that there is some magic in that sentence that he can't understand?
"Don't worry, it seems that this city lord's wife also has some shady purpose."
Leo kept his smile unchanged and patted the knight guard on the shoulder.
"I'm waiting for you outside, please hurry up."
The knight guard opened his mouth and smiled bitterly.
During this time, the place where Nala Cook and Angela were being held was not patrolled by guards, and although Leo was unaware of this, he could tell from the lady's hurried movements that her whereabouts were not to be made public.
So what did she do with Nala Cook?
The girl Runa and the big Hankira are civilians in Strange Rock City, but they have followed the noble lady here, and they are suspicious no matter how they think.
Following in the footsteps of the noblewoman, Leo and Lindsay entered the building.
I thought it would be a prison-like place from a previous life, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I thought it would be an exaggeration to call it a hotel.
The mattress and some necessities were neatly packed, and there was a floor upwards, which was a little shabby, but a little more spacious than a commoner's house.
It seems that Nala Cook and Angela's life is not as hard as he thought, and he looks at the five people seated in front of him.
The lady was still staring at Leo with indifference, and Runa and Kira couldn't see their expressions with their heads down.
"Mr. Leo?"
"Oh my God! Mr. Leo?! Oh, and Sister Lindsay! ”
Nala Cook stood suddenly, surprise written on her delicate face, and surprise in her blue eyes.
Angela, who was sitting next to her, looked a little excited, jumped up from her chair, and pulled Lindsay past him to ask for warmth.
When she was in the Altai camp, Lindsay got along well with the members of the Smiling Honey Sword.
“・・・”
Nala Cook looked at Lindsay and Angela talking and laughing, and her expression suddenly darkened.
"Well, why are you here?"
But she quickly adjusted and asked softly.
"There are some things I want to ask you, but the situation was urgent, so I didn't have time to ask."
Leo said calmly, and although he said so on the surface, his heart was somewhat relaxed.
When he heard about their detention and interrogation in the residential area, the idea of rescue was a little budding, but he resisted the urge.
It was pure luck to save Nala Cook and Angela, and he wanted to know more about the demon attack and maybe get some clues, so he decided to come anyway.
Now there is a surprise harvest, which can be regarded as a continuation of luck.
Leo turned his gaze to the surprised lady, as well as to Runa and Kira, who looked incredulous.
"You, are you from the Altai camp, that Leo?"
When they came out of the luxury hotel provided by the city lord of Qiyan City, Leo and Lindsay changed their faces slightly due to their sensitive identities, although they were not recognized at the time of the announcement, but those who were really familiar with their appearance and body shape could still find their identities if they looked closely.
The city lord has announced that the only survivors of the Altai camp are Nala Cook and Angela.
Knowing the existence of Leo and Lindsay, except for the city lord and a few people, there are only five people in front of them.
"So, you two should have recognized them earlier?"
The lady turned her head with some displeasure and stared at Runa and Kira, who hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Acting so recklessly, if your identities are revealed, the situation will worsen."
The lady sighed and looked at Leo with some reproach.
She believed in the fact that Leo was on a special mission from the city lord. But then again, the original recruitment meeting was huge, and Leo was in the limelight for a while, so it was inevitable that some people would not notice his existence. If the list of survivors of the Altai camp is found to be incorrect, many links will go wrong.
"I happened to meet you, may I ask about the Altai camp?"
Leo is straightforward. From the time he clashed with the First Knights in the Hidden Jungle, traces of his and Lindsay's presence were deliberately erased. During the meeting with the lord of Strange Rock City, the other party also asked Leo and Lindsay not to reveal their identities, so he had to secretly carry out the mission of the Lake of Tranquility.
The events at the Altai camp had a huge impact, and Leo and Lindsay, as key survivors no less than Nala Cook and Angela, were not only not interrogated by the city lord, but were tried to hide and sent on a strange mission, and he could feel that the city lord wanted him to leave the city quickly.
The outline of the whole event was almost all sorted, and under constant thinking, its outline slowly became clear.
After joining the Sweet Fruit Chamber of Commerce and arriving in Strange Rock City, everything went on as usual, and all the events began after he rescued Lindsay.
Disrupted the plans of the Altai Chamber of Commerce, but Leo succeeded in convincing Mark May, and as compensation, he participated in the S-class exploration mission, and in the uncharted area, the traces of the Mage Guild appeared, and the demon's minions collided violently with him, and a mysterious being called "The Defender" appeared, telling him that the Altai camp had been attacked, ending the process of exploration.
It was still a few steps too late to return, and the Altai camp was almost in ruins, and after coincidentally rescuing Nala Cook and Angela, Leo decided to let them return to Strange Rock City to inform them of the incident.
However, for various reasons, this huge event was like a boulder sinking into the deep sea, and it never made waves again.
Mark May and Mike are still uncertain, Neil and the remnants of the "Red Rose" mercenary group were chased by demons and disappeared into the depths of the jungle, although the fire caused by the demons has been extinguished, but the traces of burning include most of the hidden jungle, all of which have been hidden or erased.
So he had to ask the lady in front of him to see if it was a constant accident or a well-planned conspiracy.
"It's none of your business."
The lady replied calmly, and there was no clue in her expression.
"Also, thank you for recovering my necklace, and when the turmoil subsides, I will send you back to the Altai Imperial Capital."
She seemed unwilling to stay any longer, and after thanking Nala Cook, she picked up and left with Runa and Kira.
Leo noticed that she had a red agate necklace in her hand.
Luna and Kira put 10 gold coins of the Kingdom of Astaire on the table before leaving with the noblewoman, which seems to be the reward for the mission?
He remembered the necklace mission in the Mercenary Guild of Strange Rock City.
Strange Rock City Mercenary Guild Mission: [Find Lady Linny's Necklace].
Grade: E.
Reward: 10 gold coins for the Astaire kingdom.
Introduction: Ms. Linnie lost her red agate necklace in the "Hidden Forest" and sent guards to search for it three times to no avail, hoping to ask for help from some capable adventurers.
Although Luna and Kira are entertainers of the Mercenary Guild, they seem to have an unusual relationship with the lady of the city lord of Strange Rock City, so they can quickly learn Lindsay's identity at the beginning.
The outline of events was only a little clearer, and Leo sighed, though he tried his best to avoid getting into trouble again, but trouble always seemed to find him.
"Still grieving?"
Leo asked Nala Cook with a thoughtful expression.
The latter withdrew his gaze from the departing gaze of the noblewoman, and the gloom on his face faded a little.
"You don't seem to be the right person to chat."
Nala Cook smiled with interest, her blue eyes a little bright.
Leo snickered in his ears, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, although he didn't know much about what a mercenary career was like, he could see that Nala Cook was not a fragile person.
But unfortunately, his seemingly comforting mind was perfectly defeated by the maturity of the other party.
Having seen so many deaths and sacrifices, the mercenaries are maturing much better than Leo had expected.
"Haha, you have such a side, it's funny."
Nala Cook smiled when she saw Leo's embarrassed look, her blue eyes narrowed into crescents, and her red hair fluttered slightly.
"Staying in Strange Rock City isn't a long-term solution, why don't you go with us to the Imperial Capital of Astaire, Mr. Leo?"
She restrained her smile and said with a straight face.
It is likely that the "Smiling Honey Sword" will only be left with the two of them, and the status of the A-class mercenary group will soon fall, but if she can pull Leo into the gang, she is even confident that she will go further.
The speed at which this woman cheered up was really too fast, and Leo couldn't help but admire it a little.
"After I complete the task entrusted to me by the city lord, we will meet again in the imperial capital."
Leo lightened up and smiled at Nala Cook.
"Hmm-"
Her expression changed suddenly, and her blue eyes took on a soft color.
"—thank you for saving me twice, Leo."
The light fragrant breeze blew, a slight coolness slipped over the side of the face, Leo's pupils shrank, and the red-haired girl had returned to her place with a smile.
He looked at Lindsay and Angela, who were chatting energetically, and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's strange that I feel like a thief.,But girls from another world are really direct.。
