Chapter 371: Visitors to the Manor (9)
Caterina held her shield in one hand to block the fireball, and then she pushed Melissa aside and took a few steps back.
The third dagger landed right in front of Katarina, and with a faint mist, a crystal layer of ice appeared in the center of the landing point, and it was still spreading rapidly towards the periphery.
The ice soon stretched to Caterina's feet, and the girl was unsteady on it, and tried to jump out of it, but two daggers flew in mid-air and blocked her path.
Caterina steadied herself and stabbed her sword, the tip of her blade striking the fourth dagger and sending it flying, and the fifth dagger finally flew in front of her as it burst in midair.
The shield blocked the dagger in a hurry, and surprisingly without any light or loud noise, the dagger turned into a puddle of green water, covering the entire shield.
When Caterina withdrew her shield, the surface was already covered with pitted rust marks, and even small holes had been eroded in the Yan zhòng place.
This shield is considered to be useless.
Caterina raised her head to meet the squire's eyes, and then she stepped through the ice with a calm expression and slowly stepped back.
Melissa also left the scene, she appeared in front of Leon, bowed to him, and whispered, "Commander, my mission is complete." ”
After hearing this, everyone present remembered the guard who fled to the wooden house, and when they turned their eyes, they found that although the falling light net was destroyed by the dagger thrown at it, the guard was lying quietly on the ground, with a river of blood flowing from under him, and two daggers were stuck in his chest.
The little nobles all gasped, but they knew how powerful the woman who appeared later, this subordinate of Li Ang looked thin and small, and he was able to kill the fleeing guards in the end under her nose, such strength was really unimaginable to them.
Leon tilted his head to look at Melissa, and after a while, said, "Why don't you use all your strength?"
"Do you know that it will be dangerous for you to do this, especially in the face of strong people, and even your life will be in danger?"
Melissa looked up in amazement, her eyes filled with surprise and a little bit of ...... Fear.
"I, I......" The girl's voice grew lower.
Li Ang suddenly smiled, patted the top of the girl's head, and whispered: "Actually, you don't have to worry, as long as it's Melissa, it's okay no matter what, I believe everyone thinks so too." ”
The words that made others sound clueless made Melissa's eyes glow with a strange look, she clenched her fists, her eyes were red, and she couldn't say a word.
"Okay...... Leon rubbed her hair again and smiled, "Remember my words, don't have any restraints in the future." ”
Melissa nodded heavily, then stepped aside, but the doubts lingered in her heart, "...... How did the head of the regiment know about me?"
At this time, a few people happened to come out of the wooden house, and the first one glanced at the two corpses on the ground at random, and then raised his eyes to look at the young man not far away.
"Leon?" he said.
"Lord Cork?" Leon looked at him with a smile on his face.
It was a tall, thin young man with slender eyes, a tall nose, and thin lips, giving the impression of being mean.
Cork should have known about what was happening outside before rushing out, but his hair was very neatly combed, it can be said that he was meticulous, and his tuxedo with a high neck was also without any wrinkles, and it looked like he had been carefully sorted out before appearing in everyone.
Behind him stood a strong man, with a wide mouth and a broad nose, and a body of muscles bulging outwards exaggeratedly, full of a terrifying sense of strength, and was looking at the young man opposite with an unkind expression.
On the other side was an old man, with thinning hair and wrinkled cheeks, while his eyes had been slightly squinted, and his slightly gloomy eyes were staring closely behind Li Ang.
In addition, there were two others, a man and a woman, who were unusually gorgeously dressed, and their eyes were haughty, with a face full of disdain.
"Leon, sure enough, you are not the same as before......" Cork took two steps forward, and the strong man behind him immediately followed, standing on his right side, the old man did not move, and the female guard came to Cork's left side for the first time.
Cork's gaze circled across the other side before finally stopping at Caterina and chuckling.
"Yes, yes, I heard you went around the City of Chaos the other day," said Cork, "and these men were brought back from the City of Chaos, right?"
"Sure enough, Su zhì is good, no matter the strength or appearance...... It's all good!"
Cork was smiling all the time, as if he had forgotten about the death of his two men.
"It's just luck," Li Ang also smiled, since the other party didn't mention it, he pretended that nothing had happened just now, and said with emotion: "I made some real friends during the trip, and they are willing to come over to help me, otherwise I can't cope with these things alone." ”
The young man bit the words "true friend" very hard, and the faces of several aristocratic children on the opposite side changed color slightly.
Cork didn't seem to hear it, his gaze stayed on Melissa for a while, and it wasn't until Leon finished speaking for a long time that he seemed to come to his senses, "Good luck......?" For you, the luck you bring with you is a little too good. ”
"I think when you were in the royal capital, everyone drank together on weekdays for fun, you were the one who lost, and you were the first one who couldn't hold on, I remember one time you drank too much and deliberately held on, and in the end the tavern people could only send you back, and you vomited that poor waiter......"
At this, Cork burst out laughing, and everyone around him burst out laughing, especially Clive, who was smiling back and forth, looking very happy.
“...... Fuck your sister, is this the rhythm of humiliating me in public?" Li Ang couldn't laugh, he couldn't find this memory in his mind, it is estimated that the drunkenness made the little nobleman's memory at that time "broken".
He could only grin dryly and said, "At that time, I was young, so I didn't have to do anything." ”
"Remember another time...... "Remember the woman Barbara, you boasted to us that she liked you, and Barbara's dog chased her for half the street, and that was a great ......."
Li Ang's expression was extremely exciting, as a "traverser", his face turned slightly red, because when the other party mentioned it, he really had some impressions of this matter.
"This kid used to ...... What a shame!"
Then the young man noticed that there seemed to be silence behind him, but he was too embarrassed to look at it, but whispered to the expressionless Caterina beside him: "Young, too young at the time! And drank too much!"
The knight girl kept a straight face, and only snorted softly from her nose, as if to show understanding.
"Cork, are you here to introduce my past deeds?"
This sentence finally interrupted Cork's "memory", he looked back at Leon and said, "Of course not...... I say all this just to prove that we had a good relationship back then, right?"
"That's right, so I'd be very welcome for you to come to Campbell, otherwise ......," Leon said as he walked to the table full of food, and then he picked up a chair and sat down in the first place with a big grin.
“...... Just use this meal to show my heart?"
Cork looked at the young man sitting not far away, and his face slowly turned cold.
"I'll talk about the dinner later, I mean, since we have a good relationship, why did you come to congratulate you on your succession, but you killed two of my guards as soon as you returned?"
"You don't want to explain this matter to me...... You don't have to eat. ”
