Chapter 114: The Last Knight
Hearing Leo's proposal, Anne was only stunned for a moment, but quickly understood his thoughts, and thought about it seriously.
"What about the accusation?" asked Anne as she thought.
"The Continental Council of Veron has been suspended, and it is unknown whether the next meeting will be held. Leo said calmly: "And we are just the beginning, there is actually no way to interfere in the follow-up things, all are controlled by the Medical Association and the Kingdom of England, it shouldn't matter if Nelson stays here or not." ”
Anne nodded and agreed with Leo's statement. The situation has changed these days and she feels a little powerless, which has completely exceeded her initial expectations, and it will be difficult for her to take care of them if they continue to stay here, and sending them away is the best option.
"Nelson and Catherine shouldn't have any problems," Anne thought for a while and said, "Although Nelson is also a member of the Inglo-Ge army, he is a military doctor after all, and the ownership rights belong to the military and the medical school, and he only needs to ask the medical school to issue an order to transfer him back to the Inge Kingdom." As for Catherine, although she is an outlier in the cage city, her prestige has surpassed her status, so she can ignore some political issues, and the medical school can also issue an invitation letter to solve it. But Jason may have some trouble, he is not from medical school, he is a sergeant of the English military department like you, and if he wants to return to the English kingdom, he needs the approval of the military department, and no one else can interfere. ”
Leo pondered for a moment and said, "What if I go back to the Kingdom of England as a bodyguard?"
"The identity of the bodyguard?" Anne didn't understand what Leo meant for a moment.
Leo explained: "Didn't Nelson and Catherine write a field first aid manual? you can try to get the medical association in the Kingdom of England to send an invitation letter inviting Nelson and Catherine to return to China to teach the first aid methods in this manual, and Nelson and Catherine can ask for a few sergeants to be assigned to take charge of their safety on the grounds that the road is unsafe, so that Jason can return to the Kingdom of England in the name of justice." ”
"Hmm!" Anne thought for a moment after listening to Leo's proposal, and nodded: "This is a good idea, but it is better to tell Wayne Thomas, as the ambassador of the Kingdom of England in Miria, he needs to sign both the invitation and the appointment." ”
Leo said, "Then this matter will trouble you." ”
"Me?" Anne was stunned and said with a smile, "Why me?"
"I'm not used to dealing with politicians, and my status is much worse than that of His Excellency the Ambassador, and talking about these things will be suppressed, and your status is more suitable. Leo explained, then took out two wizard potions from his arms, stuffed them into Anne's hands, and said, "I won't let you do it in vain, these two healing potions will be regarded as my payment!"
"I thought you were lucky enough to find the healing potions that were collected by herbalists in the past, but it turned out that it wasn't the same thing at all, you really have mastered how to make healing potions!" Anne looked at the two wizard potions in her hand, and then looked at Leo with some disbelief, and said, "Do you know how much manpower and material resources were spent by the medical school to research this kind of healing potion back then? God, if the old men in the academy found out, they would definitely go crazy with jealousy. ”
"Don't you know that I made the potions I gave you before?" Leo looked at Anne with some confusion and said, "Didn't Adeline tell me? ”
"That dead girl didn't say anything as important?" Anne cursed through gritted teeth, then said to Leo, "I'll take care of this matter! ”
"No problem. Leo nodded in agreement.
Leo then talks to Nelson for a while, and tells them what he had just discussed with Anne.
Nelson and Catherine didn't object when they heard this, they knew very well that with their abilities, it would be difficult to help Leo in the current situation, but Jason was reluctant to leave, he thought that his current ability could help Leo, and it would be useful for Leo to stay.
It's just that when Leo subdues him easily with one hand, he realizes that he is not as interested as he thinks, and finally agrees to Leo's request, and swears to Leo that he will not delay the next time he sees him.
It was almost noon when Leo left the megalithic palace alone, and just as he was walking through the square to stop a carriage to go to the embassy of the Kingdom of England, a very common carriage emerged from the traffic and stopped beside Leo.
"Come up!" Baron Maupassant poked his head out of the window and gestured to Leo.
Leo hesitated slightly, but got into the carriage and sat opposite Baron Maupassant.
The carriage started slowly, and soon under the control of the clever coachman, it blended into the traffic and drove towards the embassy area of the United States.
After the carriage traveled some distance, Baron Maupassant took out a document bag from the briefcase beside him, handed it to Leo, and said: "This is the itinerary of the commander of the First Legion today, the barracks map of the First Legion outside the city, and some things that need to be careful. ”
Instead of reaching for it, Leo looked at Baron Maupassant and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Seeing that Leo did not take it, a trace of displeasure appeared on Baron Maupassant's face, and he casually threw the document bag on the seat next to Leo, and said, "What do you think you mean? Do you really want to follow their advice and assassinate Jacques Huppert in public?"
Leo said calmly: "Didn't your new allies Ljungberg and Rupert tell you that I was able to kill the target more than a thousand meters away?"
Hearing Leo's provocative words, Baron Maupassant did not show any unusual expression, he just grimaced and leaned over, ready to pick up the document bag thrown next to Leo.
However, Leo reached out to stop him, picked up the file bag, and said, "Although you were wrong about my abilities, you didn't guess my thoughts, I really don't plan to assassinate the Captain of Jacques tomorrow, I'm going to do it tonight." ”
"You don't trust them. Baron Maupassant said in a deep voice.
"There's no trust, it's just a deal for me, I get what they want from them and give them what they want. Leo said indifferently, then looked at Baron Maupassant, and said, "Don't you just distrust those two people, otherwise you wouldn't be sitting here face to face with me." ”
"If it weren't for Duke Devon, it would have been impossible for us to cooperate. "Baron Maupassant seems to be having a hard time these days and needs someone to talk to, and Leo, who has nothing to do with anyone, seems to be the most suitable person.
Leo could sense what his role was, and he didn't hate to hear Baron Maupassant's babbling and complaining, and he could get some useful information from these complaints. So he asked, "I am not surprised that you can't cooperate with Rupert Fitz, but why is Ljungberg also hostile, I remember that old Mr. Rembrandt gave him the evaluation of a pure patriot, and you should be natural allies, right?"
"You also said that he was a pure patriot. Baron Maupassant sneered: "He can give up everything but this country, and in his eyes we are all just pawns of him to maintain the integrity of this country." If it weren't for the fact that Duke Derwin's methods and behavior were contrary to his philosophy, he thought that Duke Derwin would bring devastating disasters to the country after becoming emperor, and perhaps he would have allied with Duke Derwin by now. ”
Leo added, "Looks like you're used to working with Rupert?"
Baron Maupassant said with a look of disgust: "Am I mad to be used to cooperating with a profiteer who is always calculating his allies and is ready to betray his master for profit?"
Leo said with some schadenfreude: "Originally, I didn't have the slightest interest in understanding the affairs of your French Empire, but after seeing your alliance of anti-Duke Devin who has no sense of trust at all, I am looking forward to seeing how far you can go." ”
"You'd better think more about your own affairs!" Baron Maupassant glared at Leo angrily, his expression turned serious, and said: "Jacques Huppert is a mediocre and incompetent person, if he wasn't the patriarch of the Huppert family, maybe he wouldn't even be a legionnaire, but he has one advantage, he has two very good sons. One of the two sons served as chief of staff under Duke Derwin, and the other became the commander of the Ninth Legion of the Empire. ”
"The Ninth Legion?" Leo was stunned when he heard this somewhat impressive name, and then remembered that the Ninth Legion happened to be one of the three army legions besieging the port of Venaya.
"Looks like you've thought of it too. Baron Maupassant sneered: "The person in charge of the encirclement of the port of Venaya is now the commander of the Ninth Legion, and the person in charge of negotiating with the Kingdom of England is the chief of staff of Duke Dewin. Do you think what will happen if you, a soldier of the English Kingdom, killed Jacques Huppert, spread the news to the eastern continent, you must know that Jacques and his two sons are well-known in the French Empire, I can imagine what kind of mood those two boys will be after receiving the news, as for whether they will do something out of the ordinary because they have lost their minds, it is not clear!"
"I see!" Leo looked at Baron Maupassant with some puzzlement, and asked, "Wouldn't it be great if you stood in your position and the Kingdom of England was completely dragged into this whirlpool? ”
"Would you bring in a pack of wolves to chase away a tiger?" asked Baron Maupassant, giving Leo a blank look.
Without saying anything more, Leo opened the folder and took a closer look at the contents.
The content of the material was not very large, and it took him less than three minutes to read it, and after reading it, he put it back in the file bag and handed it back to Baron Maupassant.
"What are you going to do?" asked Baron Maupassant, with some curiosity.
Leo asked with some confusion: "Didn't you say that Jacques Huppert was mediocre and incompetent, and why did the information praise him so much for his ability?"
"I mean mediocrity, incompetence, military, management, two years ago, he proposed to the parliament that the state spend a lot of money to form a knight order that has been obsolete for hundreds of years in this industrial age, what do you think of such a person. Baron Maupassant mentioned the commander of the First Legion with disdain, but then she changed her words and said, "However, in terms of his personal ability and integrity, I admire him very much, and I have to admit that he may be the only person in this world who still abides by the laws of ancient knights." And you must not have the idea of melee combat with him, the cross sword swordsmanship created by the ancestors of the Huppert family is the source of all cross sword swordsmanship in the world now, and he has practiced this set of cross sword swordsmanship to the strongest dual-wielding stage, even the chief sword master of the Holy See specializing in swordsmanship thinks that it is impossible for him to go through ten rounds under Jacques Huppert in the dual-wielding cross sword state. ”
"Cross Sword Swordsmanship?" Leo thought of something, and asked in a deep voice, "Is the cross sword used by the knights of the Orthodox Church also derived from the cross sword technique of the Pell family?"
Baron Maupassant nodded and said, "Of course it is, but the Holy See has improved this set of swordsmanship a lot. ”
At this moment, Leo had the figure of the knight in the twin illusions in his mind, because the cross sword swordsmanship created by that knight was the source of the Orthodox cross sword, and this set of cross swords was also the only set of dual-wielding cross sword swordsmanship, so it seems that this Huppert family is likely to be a family branch of this knight.
For Leo, the cross sword swordsmanship, which was regarded by Baron Maupassant as the most intimidating, became his greatest strength, and he knew very well the flaws of this cross sword technique, with which he could easily defeat those who mastered this cross sword technique.
Although hundreds of years have passed, the Huppert family will definitely make some improvements to the cross-sword swordsmanship and patch some flaws, but these improvements are definitely focused on the one-handed cross-sword swordsmanship. Because the dual-wielding cross sword swordsmanship itself is difficult to practice, it is already very difficult to use it skillfully just after practice, and it is almost impossible to modify this set of swordsmanship with personal strength, so it is very likely that the flaws in the dual-wielding cross sword swordsmanship still exist.
Thinking of this, Leo had a way to kill the legion leader in the light, so he asked Baron Maupassant, "You just said that Jacques Huppert is still abiding by the ancient knightly laws, right?"
Baron Maupassant didn't understand why Leo asked this question, but he replied, "Yes, it's a well-known thing in the French Empire. ”
Leo smiled, "Very good! you can help me with the next knight post!"
