Chapter 249: Drodick (I)
Leaving the Temple of the Holy Mountain, Leon returned to the inn as fast as he could.
He called two of his own retinue fighters into the room.
These two bear-born warriors are both veteran thunderbeast warriors who followed Leon all the way out of the Wuthering Forest, and the two are loyal and brave, trained hard, and have been Leon's trusted guards since the day the thunder beast camp was established.
Interestingly, the two are still twin brothers, the elder brother Xiong Da with an axe and shield hand, and the younger brother Xiong Er with a battle axe, all of whom are brute warriors of the sixth-level condensation realm.
In the past few days in the royal capital, they all stayed in the hotel honestly according to Leon's orders, so as not to run outside to provoke unnecessary right and wrong.
Since they are brothers, Leon doesn't need to think about anything, and uses his accumulated divine power to release a god-given aura for Xiong Da.
Not surprisingly, a dark golden light flashed, and Xiong Da was successfully promoted to the rank of Beast Soul Warrior, and what he possessed was earth-based elemental intelligence.
The whole process only took less than half a minute, and the condensation of the beast soul, which seemed to countless barbarian warriors as a path to the sky, was easily and effortlessly in Leon's hands.
Xiong Da, who had completed the promotion, was very happy, and from time to time he used his soul power to condense his hands, looking at the faint glow of his furry fists, and smiled from ear to ear.
This made his younger brother Xiong Er very envious, and he looked at Leon in the hope that he could also give himself a halo blessing and immediately become a powerful beast soul warrior.
"It's your turn next!" Leon patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Soon." ”
Now he continues to believe in divine power much faster than before, and releasing a god-given aura will no longer consume all the accumulation in the soul core, as long as he stays in the royal capital for a few more days to feel the breath of the god, I believe that before returning to Salling, he should be able to help Xiong Er also complete the promotion.
After a few words of instruction to the two brothers, Leon left the hotel and took the carriage to the restaurant near the Senate.
This high-end restaurant dedicated to the aristocracy was the same place where Leon and Corinna had a tryst yesterday, and he and Corinna agreed to have lunch together here today.
Led by the waiter, Leon came to the box that he had reserved yesterday.
To his surprise, in addition to Corinna, there was also a young and handsome lion knight in the box.
The two sat together, quite close to each other.
Corinna sneered at Leon's stunned look, and the knight stood up and looked him up and down.
"You're Leon, let me tell you, if you want to marry my sister, you must first be able to defeat me!"
The young knight's nostrils were extremely arrogant towards the flames of the weather, with an arrogant gesture of "you don't want to be delusional".
Syllable!
Corinna stood up and slapped him on the back of the head, immediately slapping him down and sneering: "Sister, I was just joking with Viscount Leon..."
This guy is really funny! Leon couldn't help but laugh, it turned out to be Corinna's younger brother, an officer of the Guards Regiment.
"Ignore him, sit down first!" Corinna greeted with a slight blush.
After the three of them were seated again, the maid quickly brought wine and food.
"Hello Brother Leon, let's get acquainted again, my name is Drodick, and I'm Corinna's younger brother!" said Lion Knight Masase, introducing himself, "I've heard of your name for a long time, and today is the first time I've seen a real person. ”
"I really envy you for being able to go to the Far North Ice Sheet and fight the barbarians..."
"I also heard that you killed a Terran knight..."
"I..."
This Drodick was not an ordinary talkative, and he talked endlessly as soon as he opened his mouth, until Corinna, who was on the side, could not bear it anymore and insisted on shoving a piece of bread into his mouth, and the box was quiet.
Leon thought it was funny, he really didn't expect Corinna's brother to be such a character, his surname was simple and passionate, and he was very appealing.
Deroddick and Corinna are siblings, but Corinna inherits her father's fox blood, while Deroddick descends from the maternal line of Queen Sophia.
Although the surnames are different, the relationship between the sister and brother is very good, especially after the ups and downs of the family.
"Did you go to the temple in the morning?" Corinna asked softly.
Yesterday, when we parted, Leon had told her that she was going to the temple this morning to meet High Priest Faennes.
"It's going well, but it's a bit of a hassle..."
Leon smiled and briefly explained that the swan priest named Xiling wanted to go to Salling.
"What? Is it really Miss Xiling?"
Drodick's eyes widened, and he grabbed Leon's arm: "Brother Leon, you're not kidding, are you?"
Seeing his flushed and excited appearance, Leon was stunned: "I don't know which Miss Xiling you are talking about, anyway, it's right that she is called Xiling." ”
He mentioned that Xiling was nothing more than a topic to talk about, but he didn't expect Drodick's reaction to be so big.
But Leon immediately understood that this guy should be that Xiling's admirer or suitor.
Leon's guess was not wrong, the identity of this swan priest was very ordinary, and he was even more famous in the royal capital, and his fame was far above Corinna.
Her grandfather, Duke Paine Swo, was the commander of the garrison of the province of St. Yao, a veteran of the kingdom, and a central figure in the Great Swo family.
Xiling is the most beloved granddaughter of the Duke of Paine, she was discovered to have a high priestly talent from an early age, so she entered the Temple of the Holy Mountain at the age of ten for special training.
Although Xiling rarely leaves the temple, every time she appears in the aristocratic circle of the royal capital, she will cause a sensation, and she is known as the most brilliant pearl of the kingdom, and the limelight completely overshadows celebrities such as princesses and princesses.
In the royal capital, there are countless young noble children and knights who admire and pursue Xiling, and they even formed a so-called "Pearl Guard" to become Miss Xiling's subordinate knights or followers with the highest goal... After listening to Drodick's endless narration, Leon was a little speechless: "Drodick, you shouldn't be a member of the Pearl Guard, right?"
Drodick smiled and scratched his head embarrassedly: "Brother Leon, do you know? If others know that Miss Xiling is going to Sal to train, then I guarantee that half of the noble knights of the entire king will run over!"
Leon was completely speechless at this moment, he really couldn't imagine what it would be like for hundreds of gentlemen to run into his territory, did this Miss Swan really have that much charm?
He originally thought it was a trouble, but he didn't expect it to be a hot potato!
"You must not tell anyone about this..."Leon said decisively, "You can do me a favor!"
Drodick didn't know what good things came to mind, so he opened his mouth and laughed, and when he heard Leon's words, he replied without thinking: "A fool would tell anyone!"
Leon was speechless again - it turns out that I am a fool!
The lion knight was very clever, and when he saw that Leon's expression was wrong, he immediately changed his words and said: "Ah, Brother Leon, no, no, brother-in-law, I didn't mean you, you can rest assured, I will never reveal a word to others!"
Then you can sneak over by yourself, right? The eldest brother has become a brother-in-law! Leon understood his little thoughts, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
"Don't think about it, stay in Uglu obediently, and I'm not allowed to go anywhere!" Corinna said coldly.
However, her crimson face somewhat exposed her inner emotions, and she was obviously ashamed of Drodick's "brother-in-law".
"Sister..."
"It's useless for you to beg me, I won't agree!"
Talking and laughing, the atmosphere in the box was harmonious and warm, tasting the mellow wine, Leon was slightly drunk.
You don't have to think about all those intrigues, the whole person will relax, and it would be even better if there was no big bulb of Derodick.
Drodick's efforts to convince his sister ultimately failed, and he finally reluctantly promised not to sneak away to Salling, and finally after lunch, he said something that caught Leon's attention.
"I've heard that Sayat guy has submitted a formal request to the Senate for a public duel with you, and he's been saying that he's going to have you..."
Speaking of this, Drodick stumbled: "It's not a good thing to say anyway, Brother Leon, you have to be careful what tricks he plays, this guy is very good at playing conspiracy!"
"Brother Leon, you must defeat him, I hate him when I look at him, and I want to beat my sister's idea, hum!"
"Leon..."Corinna hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you move to my house first, no matter how rude Sayat is, he won't dare to come to my family to make trouble." ”
"No—" Leon shook his head.
If he moves to Corinna's house, it will be unjustifiable, and secondly, it will be tantamount to admitting that he is afraid of Sayat, and it is not only he who will be humiliated by spreading it.
This is the holy land of Ugru, the royal capital, and Leon is really not afraid of how Sayat will deal with him, it is nothing more than some shady little tricks.
"It's all my fault for causing you so much trouble," Corinna said apologetically.
"Don't say that, I'm willing to fight you off all the troubles!" Leon smiled, and couldn't help but reach out and grab Corinna's little hand.
Corinna blushed, but didn't struggle, just glanced at Drodick.
Drodick finally couldn't sit still, coughed a few times and stood up and said, "Sister, Brother Leon, I'll go first, you continue to talk!"
When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, do you have time the day after tomorrow?" I would like to invite you to hunt in the western foothills forest. ”
Leon paused for a moment, nodded and agreed.
After Drodick left, there were only two people left in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous.
Corinna couldn't help but glance at Leon, with boundless charm in her coquettishness.
