Text Chapter 106: Uneasy
The battle with Xi Lian made Li Ao gain a lot, and the swordsmanship was not very obvious, but for the Seven Injuries Boxing, Li Ao had a clearer idea and direction through Xi Lian's King Kong Fist.
The most important thing is that he felt that his fighting spirit was about to break through after this period of cultivation, so he simply left the martial arts arena and returned to the mansion to sort out his feelings and try to break through.
Jarvis didn't disagree with his decision, but he didn't go back with him and left alone.
After returning to the Duke's Palace, Leo stayed in his room for a whole afternoon to practice the White Tiger Fighting Qi, and when night fell, the amount of Fighting Qi reached a critical point, and the form changed slightly, condensing from the gaseous state into a ball, and after a long time, it returned to its original state again, but the color became more intense.
After breaking through level 34, Leo was in a good mood and planned to go out for a walk, but he didn't expect an accident to happen just after taking two steps, and two people who should not have appeared here appeared in Leo's sight.
Raven in full costume and the inseparable escort Cuito.
Leo's eyes twinkled, and he hid between the corridors, waiting until the two of them were far away before leaning out and finding their backs disappearing around the corner.
"It's really unlucky, I was caught by Grandpa McCartney, and I have to do the work of serving tea. At this moment, a young man in disheveled clothes came from the other side, and Leo felt a move in his heart and patted the man on the shoulder.
"Why, didn't you see that I was in a bad mood? Yo, it's you?" the young man turned around in an impatient tone, and when he saw that it was Leo, his expression was a little surprised, and then his face sank.
"Who asked you to touch me, do you think that I won't dare to teach you a lesson if you are the son of the head of the family?" said the young man, who suddenly stretched out his palm and wanted to punch Leo in the face.
Leo's eyes were slightly cold, a cold light flashed, and the young man covered his palms and screamed, and there was an extra bloodstain on his face.
A memory came to Leo's mind just now, the young man in front of him was called Datu, the grandson of McCartney, and it was reasonable to say that he was still of a lower rank than him, but this Datul had often bullied Leo in the past, and even wanted to get involved with Limurim and them.
"Bastard, how dare you hit me?" Datu felt the stinging pain in his face, reached out and touched it, blood appeared on his hand, and he was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily.
Syllable!
A loud slap knocked Dato to the ground, leaving his face covered in dust, very embarrassed, and Datu finally realized that something was wrong, Leo's strength and speed were much stronger than him, and he didn't react to the two shots.
His face changed slightly, and there was a hint of horror in his eyes, and he looked at Leo walking towards him, and said in a trembling voice: "What do you want to do, Grandpa McCartney's room is in front, although the previous things were wrong with me, but you don't mess around!"
Leo's footsteps paused, and his face showed a look of thought, McCarney was in front of him, so where did Raven and Cuito go......
Datu saw Leo suddenly stop, and didn't pay attention to him, and quickly got up from the ground and ran outside.
Leo glanced at him when he heard the movement, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, and pointed at his sword, swinging a sword aura that was not powerful enough to kill, and stabbed into Datu's left thigh, causing him to fall to the ground again.
"Ahh
By the time Datu called for someone to save him, Leo had already disappeared into place, using the Keinus Tiger Ring's hidden aura to reach a room with doors and windows tightly closed.
The rooms around here were all empty, only here was a little weird, Leo estimated that Raven and the others should be inside, and were about to try eavesdropping on the wall, but the breeze in the air sent him a warning sign.
Leo was slightly surprised, he could now feel the ubiquitous wind element due to eating Andre's flower, but this was the first time he had encountered such a thing as an air elemental alarm.
To be on the safe side, Leo still carefully checked the surroundings, this inspection, to Leo surprised, in front of the door of this room, someone laid more than ten hidden traps, once someone crossed, the person who laid the trap will know, and can also choose to start the trap to strangle the comer.
Why did Leo know so well, because he was very familiar with these traps, as long as the people of the Kinus family had basically learned them, what was hidden in the trap was not a spell, but a white tiger sword qi.
Based on the strength of the sword qi in these traps in front of him, Leo could be sure that the person who laid these traps was McCartney.
What did McCartney do when he called Raven to the Duke's Palace, but Raven was kicked out of the Duke's Palace by Davis, wasn't McCartney afraid of causing Davis's anger by doing this?
Leo stood in front of the door and frowned in thought, but finally he was still not sure to break the trap laid by McCarney, and after taking a deep look, he turned and left.
After leaving there, Leo did not return to his room, he found the quiet little courtyard according to the direction he remembered last time, he carefully climbed the wall to enter, only to find that it was empty, only a school of goldfish swimming around in the lake.
Davis was not there, and Leo finally came to this conclusion, and through some traces around him, he could see that the people here had left last night, that is, when he was unconscious last night.
Could it be that Davis was finally moved by his own words and ran to the Forest of Life to help?, Leo thought with a twinkle in his eyes.
He had come here to ask Davis if McCartney had asked Raven to come to the Duke's Palace, but he didn't expect Davis to leave.
Leo frowned and returned to his room, one by one conjecture after another in his mind, after all, Raven could be said to be his biggest enemy at the moment, and such an enemy ran under the same roof as him, which made him have to worry.
Although there was no clue in the end, Leo was sure of one thing, that is, McCartney knew that Davis was gone, otherwise McCartney would never dare to take Raven to the Duke's Palace behind Davis's back and talk secretly.
Soon, an hour passed, and a sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside, Leo who was cultivating with his eyes closed opened his eyes, gently pushed open the door and came to the corridor, and he was on the second floor and easily saw the three backs that were walking away.
Raven, Cuito, and McCartney!
At this time, the three of them were walking towards the door of the mansion, still talking about something, and because the distance was so far away, even if Leo listened with the upper wind element, he could not hear what they were saying.
After observing for a short time, Leo returned to the room for fear of being discovered, after all, Cuito and McCarney were both leaders of the transcendent level, and their perceptions were amazing, and if they had been watched, they would definitely have noticed something.
At this time, Leo had a bad premonition in his heart, and his intuition told him that Raven's conversation with McCartney would definitely be bad for him.
"Could it be that my recent changes have made Raven suspicious and want to ask McCartney to kill me?...... It can't be, I'm living in the Duke's Mansion right now, and if I die, Davis will definitely blame McCartney on it, and McCartney won't take that risk. ”
"The only place I've been going to except stay in the mansion lately is the tournament field, and there are so many people watching in the tournament that Raven can't kill me by other means......"
"An assassination is unlikely, if they don't want my life, what are they trying to do?"
Leo kept thinking back and forth, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and at this moment, he accidentally bumped into the table, and a letter fell lightly.
Leo was slightly stunned, he had not noticed that there was a letter on the table, and when he picked it up, he found that it was sent from Kirtland, signed by Child.
He calculated the time, and the time when the letter was delivered should have been missed when he went to the martial arts arena.
"Why did you suddenly send a letter over, could it be that something ...... the territory" Leo opened the envelope, a thought flashed in his heart, and his movements paused slightly.
His face changed suddenly, a look of anger appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly took out the letter paper to check.
With each additional line of reading, Leo's face became ugly, and when he read the whole letter, his face had completely sunk.
Leo clenched his fists tightly and looked in the direction of McCartney's room, his eyes as if they were about to breathe fire.
"If this matter has anything to do with you, I won't give you a chance to regret it!"
In the letter, Childe told Leo two very bad news, the first was that two nights earlier, the port of Kirtland had been attacked by an unknown fleet of ships that had just been built by the dwarves, and the port was destroyed by 70 percent, and thirty-seven dwarves who were resting in the harbor were killed by artillery fire, more than fifty dwarves were injured to varying degrees, and Egger, who had a good relationship with Leo, lost a leg.
The fleet sailed north after destroying the port, and although Xue Tian sent the Peerless Army to chase along the coast, there was no good news until Childe wrote the letter.
After Father John left, he became a devout priest in his fifties, but he only had a devout faith, his strength was less than level 20, and the effect of healing was not as good as that of Father John, so Childe simply sent the injured dwarves to a church in a neighboring town to find a senior priest for treatment.
When he saw this, Leo breathed a sigh of relief, but the second bad news that followed made his heart completely ignite with anger.
The surrounding lords led by the lord of Kuranka, Count Mezas, formed a combined army, and in just a few days, the Count of Mezas led this combined army of about three or four thousand people to continuously attack and occupy the territory expanded by Leo in the past six months, some unmined ore veins, forests, and even the inhabited towns of Karon and Ross They did not let go, and savagely sent people to declare the two towns under their jurisdiction.
This is not over, the Count of Mezas also sent people to the city of Kirtland to shout, saying that they would let their combined army and the Wushuang army train their troops, and also said that several lords wanted to duel Leo, and those who lost should hand over half of the assets they owned, including the territory.
