Chapter 201: Pretending to be crazy and selling stupid
readx;
Fett gathered all the captains together and told them about his plan to make a private agreement with Leon. Most of the captains of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info reserved their opinions, and neither agreed nor objected. Among them, Jasmine and Selena, the two female squadron leaders, thought that they should not tell anyone about this decision, and if the nobles in the city knew that the potato mercenary group was secretly harboring Leon, the leader of the rebel army, it might cause a lot of trouble.
"Based on the current situation, Count Endrida is likely to organize an attack on the rebels in the territory, maybe invite our mercenary group and the army of Fonta, we just need to follow their plan, then we should get a good reward, and the rebels' forces around Dumu City will also be disintegrated. β
"Squadron Leader Selena's proposal is that we don't have to be reckless, and the matter of Lyon will be settled as well," Luca chimed in, "If we take the initiative to find the rebels, it may cause us a certain loss." Now that the rebels are already in trouble, it is also a good choice for us to wait for the orders of Count Endrida. β
Fidel listened quietly to the advice of the other captains.
"That Leon was rescued by us, and he was protected by us, and he still wanted to escape...", Ligu glanced at Fidel, who, like some of the captains, clearly did not understand why Fidel had made a private agreement with the old man who had become a prisoner.
In his private agreement with Leon, Feder set a time limit to eliminate the hostile rebel groups around Dutim within a month, whether the other party was a freshman or a conservative, and then try to protect the rebels who supported the Leader's faction in the operation. In return, Leon promised Fidel that when he regained control of the rebels and the people, he would lead all the rebels out of the Duchy of Magini and no longer be enemies of the Duchy of Mageni, and they would focus all their efforts on cultivating forces in the Duchy of Dramain and carrying out guerrilla activities in the Duchy of No.
Leon stated that as long as he regained control of the Rebels, he would sign a non-aggression pact with the Potato Mercenaries, and could even coexist peacefully with the nobles of the Duchy of Magini, as long as they did not interfere with the activities of the Rebels in the other two principalities. Leon has always hinted in front of Fidel that it is impossible for the rebel organization to be completely destroyed, and the potato mercenary group has done enough as a mercenary group, and if it continues to be caught in the nobility of the Duchy of Mageni and the people's rebel organization, it will only be trapped in this quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper, and it will be difficult to extricate itself.
Fed knew that Leon's words were only to borrow the power of the potato mercenary group, but he was indeed struck by Leon's words - he was unwilling to continue to fight against the rebels, and those poor people at the bottom could not be completely eliminated, even Count Endrida was just planning to kill the chickens and monkeys.
"Vittorio, what do you think?" said Fidel, turning to the short man who had been part of the rebels.
Vittorio hesitated for a moment and said: "I have the same opinion as the other captains, but we don't have to trust Leon completely, after all, Leon is not as honest as he seems, and honesty and honesty are not my favorite way of doing things." β
Just as the captains expressed their disagreement with this private agreement, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Ayana, who had been away from the potato mercenary group for a while, appeared outside the door.
Wearing a pure black cape, clothes and pants sewn from thick white animal fur, a wooden bow on her back, and her short hair over the ears was not trimmed and a little messy, Ayana is more like a teenage adventurer who is not inferior to a man than a tomboy at the beginning.
"Captain Ayana!" Rigu walked quickly towards Ayana, with his instincts from years of practicing medicine, he could already see that Ayana, who should have taken longer to recover, had fully recovered her health, and he really couldn't imagine how a young girl, a patient with serious injuries and not healed, could spend the whole winter in the snowy mountains.
Fei De immediately stood up, and Ayana slowly walked in front of Fei De, "I'm back," Ayana looked away from the side, as Fei De showed a rare look of concern, "You're in a meeting, right, don't pay attention to me, I'll just stand on the side." β
"It's good to be back. Fidel blinked, and he seemed to sense his faux pas.
"We're talking about a private agreement with the rebels. Lukka immediately told Ayana what they had just discussed, because several captains had realized that Captain Ayana, who had a special relationship with Fidd, might be able to make Captain Fid change his mind a bit.
After hearing this, Ayana glanced at Fidel, who had already sat back in his place, "I don't understand the affairs of the rebels, I will only do what I should do." Ayana's response was as cold as ever, and the other captains had to dismiss the idea of asking Ayana to "persuade" Fidel.
After the captains had dispersed, Fed left Ayana in the room, and the two were obviously a little embarrassed when they were first alone, and neither of them spoke first. Until Fede stood up and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Ayana nodded, "It's okay already." β
Fett recalls that when he was in the Iron Ore Mountains, the fainting Ayana felt guilty and uneasy when he promised Russell and Feo to protect Ayana. Now that Ayana can return safely, Feid's heart is very happy, and he begins to plan to prevent Ayana from participating in some too dangerous missions.
Ayana saw that Fid fell silent again, this guy who was once called "Potato" by Keth really drove people crazy, "Don't you want to know who the blind man I brought back is?"
"By the way, you seem to have brought someone back, is it a rebel or something?"
"The man claimed to be a magician. β
Fett followed Ayana to a house in the city of Dumu, the door was locked with two locks, and there was a big yellow dog at the door, and when he saw Ayana, he immediately came over with his tail wagging.
"I've put him here for the time being, he's a middle-aged man who is blind," Ayana gently pushed open the wooden door after unlocking it, and Cat's Eye was sitting on a chair, pouring himself tea, "He also has a cat, and that cat is very fierce." Feder also saw a gray-white folded ear cat in an iron cage, staring intently at the two men who had entered the house.
"Cat's Eye" heard the footsteps of the two and said, "Is this your regimental leader? β
"Cat's Eye" fumbled with the teacup as she pulled the other chair next to the table away, as if welcoming visitors. On the way, Fidel had already heard Ayana talk in detail about the man named Simus, and he had reservations about so-called magic, because he had indeed witnessed Golia, who could use magic, and also possessed the Moon Shield, a life weapon that could not exert power. However, it would be too hasty to assume that this man was the old mage's apprentice and Goliath's fellow disciple based on his own words.
"Mr. Seamoth, may I call you that?" Fett did not sit down, he looked at the man carefully, making sure he had never touched the other.
"Cat's Eye" put down the teacup and nodded, "Of course, because that's my name." β
"I'm the head of the Potato Mercenary Regiment, and Ayana is my subordinate. I've heard that Mr. Simos calls himself a magician, is this true?"
"Cat's Eye" felt the magic on his body again, and sure enough, he still didn't recover a little magic power, "That's right, I am a magician, one of the three mage heirs of the legendary old mage." β
Fidel and Ayana exchanged a look, trying to recall the rumors about the mage, and he vaguely remembered that one of the mage heirs was nicknamed "Cat's Eye" because the man had the same eyes as a cat, not a blind man.
When Ayana arrived, she had told Fidel that she had examined Simus's eyes and determined that they were nothing more than blind eyeballs and holes, not "cat's eyes" at all.
"Mr. Heimos, may I ask you why you have come all the way to the Dumu City?" Feder remained respectful.
"I'm here looking for something. "Cat's Eye" had already figured out a way to get out in the past two days, and now he had lost all his magic powers, and he could only continue to claim that he was a magician, and then because he couldn't prove it, he was finally regarded as a nonsense madman by these mercenaries, and then drove himself away.
"Are they some broken parchment scrolls?" replied Ayana.
When Cat's Eye heard this, he immediately took out all the sheepskin scrolls he was carrying. Of the fifteen broken parchment scrolls, only one had the inscription "Requiem" in ancient script, while the others were worn out and blank. "Cat's Eye" knew that these ordinary people could not see the secrets of the parchment scrolls, because these parchment scrolls were magically encrypted by ancient magicians, and they had to be touched with magic to see their contents. Moreover, there is a lot of magical knowledge contained in the parchment scrolls, so only those who know the trick can find the magical knowledge they want, and fifteen parchment scrolls contain more than the contents of several thick books.
Feder picked up the parchment scrolls, which looked much the same, and at first glance they were very old, but there was nothing written on them.
"Do you want to collect these parchment scrolls?"
"Yes, because these parchment scrolls contain magical knowledge, don't you see?" "Cat's Eye" casually told a lie.
Fid and Ayana exchanged another look, "Mr. Seamus, you said you were a magician, so can you cast a spell in front of us?"
"Of course... Well... Wait a minuteβ" After a minute, the motionless "Cat's Eye" said, "I've cast a spell, don't you see?
