Chapter 112: The Endless Stream
Before Leon could go out of the house, a waiter came in and informed him that a lady from the soothsayer's hut wanted to see him.
Leon thought about it for a moment, gestured to the waiter, and sat back down.
Coming in was a slightly older lady, well-dressed, meticulously hairstyled, and a kind-looking face.
As soon as she entered the house, the lady gestured to Leon, "I am Serra, the fourth witch of the soothsayer's hut. β
Inviting the other party to his seat, Leon said, "Lady Sierra has come to see me personally, I don't know what to order?"
"Hehe, don't be so polite," Serra smiled, "Your name has been popping up a lot in my ears lately, so I've been curious for a while." β
This sentence is not easy to answer, so Li Ang simply didn't answer, and just waited quietly for the other party's next step.
"I'm going to apologize for coming this time, I didn't scare you last time when I sent Trithia a little impulsively, right?"
Beginning with this sentence, Serra casually exchanged a few words with the mercenary leader, and then began to get to the point.
"A few months ago, the First Witch received a mysterious letter and left. β
"Well, I've heard that the Speaker hasn't been in the City of Chaos lately. β
"When she was there, these people didn't make such a fuss. β
Serra's tone was flat, as if she was recounting something very ordinary.
"My mentor Kaka said the same, but he was puzzled by the fact that Ms. Crystal had been gone for so long and that there was no news. β
"Kaka?" said Serra, "The First Witch had put a lot of thought into keeping this dwarf from causing more trouble. β
"Excuse me...... Why did Kaka leave the City of Chaos at that time?" Finally discovering a person involved, Leon suppressed the extreme curiosity in his heart, and asked casually as if nothing had happened.
"He didn't tell you?" Serra looked at Leon who shook his head and said, "Anyway, more than ten years have passed, and it's nothing to sue you." β
"When he was working on a new potion recipe to compete with an old rival, he had an accident, and the explosion destroyed an entire dozen blocks of the lower city, and probably hundreds of people were killed. β
"Huh?" Li Ang opened his mouth wide, "Master Mentor is really powerful and domineering......"
"Because he had helped the council in terms of alchemy, several important members of the council, including us, came forward and jointly suppressed the matter, of course, huge compensation is inevitable. β
"I said why is his Kaka House in Gray Town so shabby, the tools are tattered, the clothes are not changed all year round, and the money is money when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, it turns out that this is ......"
Leon couldn't help but have great sympathy for his mentor.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, the purpose of coming here today is to say that although the first witch is not here, we will still carry out her will, and please tell Kaka this sentence. β
"Of course, and I'm sure these things will go away when the Speaker returns," Leon said, "but until she returns, we can't let the situation get too out of hand." β
Serra looked at Leon quietly, and after a while, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Okay, I'll take my leave." β
This time, when Li Ang was left alone, he immediately jumped up, ran to the lounge, and gave an order, "Let's visit the auditorium!"
There was only a short time left until noon, and he didn't want to be stopped here anymore, so he had to hurry up and observe the structure of the building.
A waiter was sent over as a narrator, and took the members of the mercenary team around the building for a whole circle, and it must be said that he was very eloquent and explained vividly, but the young people were obviously not interested in the origin, year, and meaning of the building, and instead focused more on the symbolism of various reliefs, or the color matching.
As the head of the regiment, the power is even more lacking, and many times he will stand in a daze, which makes the waiter who is extremely confident in his eloquence quite discouraged.
In the end, they returned to the original lounge, it was less than thirty or forty minutes before the ceremony began, they needed to wait here, and when the ceremony started, there would naturally be someone to guide them when they needed to come out.
The lounge is in a good location, with a large exterior window that looks out onto the front of the building, and there are already sparse carriages heading towards the main entrance, all of whom are invited to attend the ceremony.
Leon simply moved his chair to the window, observing the people present, and when the wave of people entered the door, Kaka also stood beside him.
"Mentor?" Leon asked with a glance back, clueless.
The alchemy master nodded, and then said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't come from the fifth order or above, you won't be able to hear our conversation." β
"Is the circle set up?" asked Leon.
"Okay, the nodes are all set up, and as long as the established syllables are activated, the defense and teleportation functions can be activated. β
Then Leon gathered everyone together, and Kaka taught the young people two different functions of the activation syllables, and then the head of the regiment ordered them very strictly, especially Sophia, which made the nervous girl very unhappy.
"I'm not that stupid!"
......
After instructing all the precautions that could be thought of, Leon and Kaka came to the window again.
"Are you so sure that a ritual is going to be dangerous for a while?" Kaka asked.
"More than seventy percent, but even if the odds are not high, I will be fully prepared," Li Ang looked back at the group members who were chatting, and then said, "We are still young, it is always right to think more and prepare more." β
"I'm pretty old, am I?" Kaka glanced at him.
"Why! Master Mentor is only over a hundred years old, and he is not middle-aged among the dwarves!" said Li Ang very "aggrieved".
Indeed, in terms of the lifespan of more than three hundred years for ordinary dwarves, Kaka is indeed not "old".
"Hmph, but speaking of which, it's really rare for a dwarf to reach the alchemy master Cheng dΓΉ at such a young age as me!"
"Mentor, you ...... That's right!"
"Well, you're not bad either," the alchemy master was in a good mood, praising his apprentice by the way.
"You've won a prize...... Ah, who is that person, why haven't I seen it?" Leon suddenly pointed out the window, where a dwarf was leading the way and jumped out of the council's carriage.
"Oh, Askar Fire Wine of the Warrior's House is a stinky drunkard, and the last two are his henchmen!"
This question finally attracted Kaka's self-inflated feelings, and Leon couldn't help but wipe his cold sweat, but this was also the first time he had seen a "living" dwarf, so of course he would pay special attention to it.
Askar Firewine is a typical mountain dwarf, slightly taller than a gnome, almost as close to Leon's chest, but as wide as three gnomes, and looks extremely stocky and large.
He had the most striking characteristic of a dwarveβa fiery red beard that had been carefully tied into numerous braids, almost down to his waist, and swayed with his steady steps, which reminded Leon of Katarina's ponytail, but Leon immediately shook his head, leaving the unpleasant analogy behind.
Dressed in a heavy suit of armor, a Viking-style helmet that covered the bridge of his nose, and a warhammer that was over his height hung behind him, looking extremely heavy.
He was followed by a dwarf with a wavy beard, and he was also fully armoured, but the hammer at his waist was relatively short.
"Guen Firewine, from the same clan as Aska, a battle priest, another human has never seen. β
"Battle Priest?Third Order?" Li Ang humbly asked for advice.
"The highest person in the Warrior House is the third order, otherwise it wouldn't be ranked at the bottom of the council's forces!"
"Are there many dwarves like this in the City of Chaos?"
"There are quite a few, in addition to the warrior family, there are dozens of other forces, huh...... There should be one in the lower town as well. β
"I remember seeing elves being captured as slaves in the lower city, why do dwarves live so nourishingly?" Leon was a little puzzled, in fact, he also had some doubts about the dwarf, but he didn't dare to say it in front of the mentor.
"Nonsense, there is Aska from the warrior's house, and the swaggering trading of dwarves is not to make themselves uncomfortable!As for the elves, the stronger these arrogant creatures are, the more willing they are to hide in the woods, what is there to take into account, but ......"
Kaka looked at Leon with disdain and said, "The slaves that merchants buy and sell more are you human beings!"
was despised for some reason, Li Ang was a little speechless, where is this, it's just the rhythm of lying down, isn't it!
But he knew that Kaka's words were true, and although many countries banned human trafficking, the slave trade was quite popular in places like the Land of Chaos, and the vast majority of slaves were sold as commodities.
There is no way to be despised, Li Ang doesn't want to be a savior, and this kind of gray area tradition that has been continued for hundreds of years cannot be changed lightly.
The next person who got out of the carriage attracted Leon's attention, it was a woman who seemed to have water waves floating near her body, so it was impossible to see her specific appearance. Leon was very impressed by this special woman, she also appeared after the ambush at the entrance of the lower city, and she also used a secret method to block Patricia's attack on Leon, so she still had a good impression.
Kaka said in a flat tone on the side, "Margaret, is also a fourth-order elemental master, the leader of the Black Tide. β
"Kuroshio ......" Leon clearly remembered that Eric had always suspected that it was Kuroshio who launched the attack on him and old GΓΌlen.
"You know Austin in the back, those two big knights are his subordinates, wearing a shiny armor all day long, for fear that others won't know that they are a big knight!"
After all, Austen helped Caterina to enlighten and did not hesitate to teach combat skills, so Leon was embarrassed to continue this sentence, and just as he wanted to find another topic, he saw the figure of Viscount Lev near the carriage parked side by side outside.
