The Andre siblings brought back the news that they were going to leave the day after tomorrow, and after dinner, everyone prepared what they were going to prepare for the trip.

Lin An also had some follow-up needs to explain to Anatoly and Lancet, and after entering the study, he never came out.

At the junction of the corridor hall and the corridor, the lights and shadows were dim, and someone was wandering in the dark corner, and the slave girl who went to get a supper snack for Lin An passed by, and was almost startled.

"What is this?"

"Back to Lord Johann, this is a supper that the mistress ordered the kitchen to make."

"Ready to be sent to the study now?" John's eyes twitched slightly.

"Yes."

"Leave it to me, you go down."

Johann took the tray from the slave girl's hand, took a deep breath, and walked to the study on the third floor.

The third floor is quiet, only Lin An, Shiryl and Athena live, the master bedroom and study of the villa are distributed on this floor, and the second floor is the floor where the men live.

Although they have only lived in it for less than a month, the two-story layout can already show some differences between men and women.

Lin An would occasionally fiddle with flower arrangements in private, change some room interiors she didn't like, and then this interest was learned by Athena, so Lin An simply gave it to Athena and let her use it to practice illusions, so when they came to the third floor, they often found that the oil paintings and interior styles on both sides of the corridor changed back and forth.

This time, it was placed directly opposite the exit of the stairs, it was a fresh landscape painting, and John had calmed down after the time he had gone upstairs, thinking that Athena's artistic accomplishment had improved again, and then he came to the door of the study, handed the tray to his left hand, raised his right hand and knocked on the door.

Aggressive.

"Come in."

John pushed the door in, Lin An behind the black pear wood desk didn't raise his head, and said "Put down the snack ......", and then looked up, and saw John, slightly surprised. "John, why did you send it?"

"I just saw it downstairs, so I sent it up by the way." John placed the steaming black tea on the low table between the three couches.

"Wait."

Lin An was writing, and he had reached the end, and after only a while, he put away the written things, cleaned up the ink stains on his hands with a spell, stood up from behind his desk, and walked to the sofa.

After finishing things, sit down and smell the mellow aroma of black tea. Lin An felt a little hungry. Ate four or five cranberry buns. After taking a sip of black tea, he wiped his lips before he said to John:

"What's the matter?"

John was not surprised that Lin An could see it, and was silent for a moment. Suddenly got up and left the sofa and knelt down on one knee: "Miss, I hope to be able to stay." ”

"Because of the war?"

John nodded.

"If you want to stay, stay, this is your will, I won't stop it."

Lin An was not surprised, she guessed it after John came to the study, and he had been preoccupied with it before, revealing some clues.

"Thank you for your understanding." John was a little apologetic. Salute solemnly.

Lin An didn't avoid it, and called him up after the salute.

"Since you left the ice field, you have been following me around and dealing with those tedious things, which is really overkill for you......"

"No, at Miss's side. John has benefited enormously. In the past two years, I have gained a lot of knowledge by your side, and not to mention the money you have invested in me in the past two years, just your guidance has enabled me to reach the peak of elemental civilization in a short period of time, and I am already the dream of any follower! ”

John's heart was very guilty, and he interrupted Lin An's words and explained, "If I still feel dissatisfied because of this, it will undoubtedly betray your trust, and the reason why I want to stay is because of ......"

"I know what you mean, John! Sorry, I lost my words earlier. ”

Unexpectedly, a sentence was misunderstood by John, Lin An was helpless about the gap between the two times, and raised his hand to stop John, "I mean I don't mind your request, you don't need to apologize for feeling guilty-in fact, without your request, I also considered letting you stay." ”

"Huh?"

"The war has begun, although I want to let go of Lenster's side, but I can't just close my earbuds and sound like this, not to mention that I want to participate in the war more than you go out to travel, and now it seems that it is really right," Lin An smiled, "I know that with your character, you can't let go of the Merlin battle situation, even if you are forced to follow us, I am afraid that you will not be able to travel with peace of mind - you are a real knight, and the battlefield is your destination." ”

John was moved, he didn't expect Lin An to notice his thoughts.

"But I won't arrange you into the army right now, you stay on Lance's side first, help me pass on information and keep an eye on the battle situation, there are not many subordinates under Lancet who can command the army, maybe he will need your help and construction."

"I will live up to Miss's expectations." Lin An had already thought about him, and John didn't have any opinions.

"I've just written a letter, and when we leave Danton, you'll give it to Lancet." Lin An put the written letter into the envelope and sealed it, and handed it to John.

John took the letter, "Didn't you say goodbye to Archduke Rincester?" ”

"No, there's no need to be so formal, you can communicate directly in the bracelet if you have something."

John sighed secretly, as a bystander, he knew Archduke Ranster's feelings for Lin An, but on Lin An's side, Lin An's approach was indeed a wise move.

The next day, the autumn breeze was cool and the weather was clear, and everyone went separately to prepare things for the long trip.

Lin An and the healthy horses they rode before pretending to be mercenaries had the mark of "Fire Dragon Horn", and after they arrived in Dandong, their mercenary credentials were automatically restored to their free bodies, and of course they could not ride the original horses on the road this time, and Andrei and they did not plan to ask Anatoly to help, so they simply went directly to the market to buy them.

Lin An and John stayed at the villa.

“…… This villa does not need to be surrendered, it is left to you to live in;

In addition, I have just done another blood concoction for Hannibal, and he can't get up yet, but even if he recovers, you will be in charge of him and the other villa, and if Ranster needs to use it, you can cooperate with him;

After this action, Ryan's secret spy in Danton has been greatly damaged, and he needs to lurk for a while, and he can't use too much - of course, it doesn't matter, with Lenster here, we won't lack the situation in Danton - as for the more important information exchange, I have already told Anatoly and asked him to communicate with me, the Oginets family has helped us a lot this time, and their attitude is quite sincere and credible, so don't reduce the communication and friendship with them;

And that Medusa, you have already seen just now, I strengthened her spiritual hints, generally speaking, she will not betray lightly, this can also be regarded as a channel for obtaining information;

The most important thing is that Ranster is on his side, and you try to assist him as best you can, but you can't show your face openly, lest you arouse the jealousy of the Pere......"

After explaining a lot of things, John finally fully believed that Lin An had decided to let him stay in advance, otherwise it would be impossible for him to leave at once with so many follow-ups.

And Lin An continued, flipped through the things on the desk, remembered something, took out a camphor wood box from the space, opened it and took out half of the golden ticket, and said:

"There are also these golden tickets, try not to attract attention to the huàn into gold serphine and gold bars, put them in the bracelet, otherwise as the war develops, these golden tickets are likely to depreciate."

Lin An was also reminded by Anatoly, when Lin An gave the intelligence line compensation, Anatoly chose gold coins and gold bars, Lin An remembered this matter, but he never had time to do it, and now it was handed over to John.

The matter was almost explained, there was a commotion at the door of the villa, and Andrei and they returned.

After they entered the door, they talked a little loudly, but the study was on the third floor, and Lin An could only vaguely hear some words, as if they were in the market and had a dispute with people.

Lin An and John went downstairs, and Athena chirped about their journey to the market.

It turned out that there were a few demon blood horses in today's market.

The so-called magic blood horse is a hybrid of horse monsters and ordinary horses.

These hybrids are not Warcraft, although they are difficult to domestilate, but they still have the possibility of taming, unlike Warcraft, which must be domesticated from the sound, and must use a contract to drive it, let alone transfer the contract and change the owner;

And because of the physique of the demon beast, the magic blood horse is far superior to ordinary horses in all aspects, in addition to not being as genetic stable as the pure-blooded horse, many magic blood horses can even surpass the purebred horse in all aspects, but for the nobles who value the bloodline, the symbolic meaning of the purebred horse that can highlight the inheritance is naturally not comparable to the magic blood horse.

But even so, it does not prevent the Demon Blood Horse from being sought after in the market, they are the best companions of warriors and mercenaries on the battlefield, if any mercenary group can capture and domesticate one or two Demon Blood Horses, even the nobles have to look up to it, and the value of the mercenary group will also rise by two or three percent, after all, for mercenaries who often need to run and fight for tasks, a good horse is an important guarantee for them to play a mission, no less valuable than a good weapon.

"So you got it?" In fact, Lin An already knew the answer, but he just asked knowingly.

"Nope!" Athena was frustrated, pouting and saying angrily, "We have already negotiated the price with the buyer, but another person from the mercenary group intervened, saying that they were recruited by the military department and had the right of first refusal, so they snatched the horse away, and the price given was only half of ours!" ”

I see.

"It's requisitioned, it seems that the horse seller also has a backstage, otherwise maybe he won't pay," Lin An already understood, and glanced at Andre and them, "But the mercenary group that was recruited to participate in the war should also have the right to requisition horses, so you didn't conflict with them." ”

"Of course not!" Andre shrugged his shoulders and said, "If it's eight demon blood horses, then I'll definitely grab them, but there are only four, so forget it." ”

Judging from Andre's frowning expression, it is definitely not so simple for him to let go, and maybe he will make the other party suffer something.

Lin An couldn't help laughing.
