Chapter 176: Campbell
An almost farcical incident finally came to an end, and Captain Matt forcibly dragged the sheriff away before leaving.
The sheriff only broke free a little and gave up resistance, and he also needed to have a step down at this time, otherwise he really didn't know how to face the young man. He was extremely embarrassed in his heart, just now he actually wanted to frame a future earl, even if he sued Viscount Anto, he would definitely be scolded bloody.
Ever since Leon reported his identity, the sheriff's mind was almost blank, and when he realized it, he could no longer mention any revenge against Leon, because he knew that he was not comparable to an earl at all, so he completely transferred his hatred to Kubi.
"Better not let me see you again in Devon!" the sheriff glanced at Kubi before leaving, passing the words out of his gaze.
So Kubi was even more respectful to Leon.
"My lord, I know the nearest way, I'll take you to Campbell!" said Kubby volunteering.
Leon glanced at him, wanting to ignore it, but finally said, "You go to the town and hire a few wagons, pull up your wounded men, follow my convoy, and find a place to settle down when you get to Campbell, and don't bother me if you have nothing to do." β
Kubi nodded immediately, and trotted into Greenwood, he knew that his impression in Leon's mind was extremely bad, so he was very cautious, trying to reverse this impression as soon as possible.
Li Ang's original plan was to camp in the open space at night and set off early the next morning, but since this incident had happened, it would be a bit redundant to stay for another night, so he gave an order and told everyone to get into the car and prepare for the night.
By the time Jeff and Eric had loaded the things back into the wagon, Kubi had already rushed back, and where he had hired the wagon, it was clearly two flatbed carts, each free and one lean horse, and one of them was occupied by some large and small boxes.
It seems that he really moved all his belongings.
Kubi jumped off the cart as soon as he could, ran up to Jack, and respectfully handed over the five gold coins with both hands.
"Lord Jack, you know that we are not rich, these gold coins are already all our property, and there are five gold coins that will be returned to you as soon as we have savings after a while. β
Leon had only asked for two gold coins before, but Kubi had said that Leon would pay five times the compensation, so this was a strict "compliance" with his previous request - it was much more important for Kuby to make a good impression on Leon than a few gold coins.
Leon didn't seem to hear it at all, he had seen enough of Kubi's personality, although he was acting in front of him, but such a character could not be changed for a while, and he would listen to his words and watch his deeds in the future, if he could really maintain it, it was not impossible to give him some sweetness.
"Let's go!"
At the sound of an order, the convoy began to start slowly, this time in addition to the more than thirty war horses behind, there were two flatbed carriages that made a "squeak" sound a little farther away.
Leon sat in the carriage, looking at the night outside thoughtfully, this had nothing to do with what happened today, just because he arrived at Campbell in more than a day, and suddenly he was in a trance.
Because his own memories started in the Forest of Wolf's Kiss and left Campbell after the battle in Locketown, he only had a second memory of the vast area that was about to become his territory, and although it was clear, it felt a little unreal in his heart.
The two feelings that were both strange and familiar were mixed in his mind, and he sat in the gently bumpy carriage for dozens of minutes without the slightest sleepiness.
Kaka, who didn't have any appearance along the way, and was not conspicuous at all, noticed that the apprentice's situation was a little abnormal, and said in a muffled voice: "From the chaotic capital to here, your appearance is not bad, why is it almost to Campbell but start to get nervous, this is not your character." β
"Mentor, I see that you have been researching this book all the time, have you come up with anything?" Leon did not directly answer Kaka's question, but instead found another topic.
The alchemy master didn't hold the apprentice accountable for deliberately diverting the subject, he snorted, "It's not a recipe for Eric to recover." β
"How is it?" Li Ang originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect to get this answer, and he immediately became energetic, and the love just now was also put aside at once.
"It's okay, I've found the recipe, and the ingredients given by the council are just right, so I can start refining potions as long as I have time. β
"Handsome!" Li Ang secretly praised, although Eric's current strength is not good, but since he joined the team, he has begun to show his ability, if he can recover to the second order after a period of time, then it is even more worth looking forward to.
"Don't be in a hurry to be happy," Kaka said slowly: "Today you have fully revealed your identity, and the news will reach the ears of many people in a few days, are you mentally prepared?"
"Of course," said the apprentice, smugly, "my purpose was to let them out, and I was afraid of startling the snakes, but now that they are so close, they will only arrive at Campbell in one day, and one day they will reach the family manor, and those fellows will not be able to escape." β
He was talking about the butler Zhuo Ning and the other two traitors who had hunted him down together, and the matter had already been told to Kaka, so the alchemy master asked such a question.
"Well, that's fine," Kaka said, "and leave them to me and Eric when the time comes, and you won't have to worry about the rest." β
Li Ang knew that the mentor was going to take the gangster leader to "torture and extract confessions" from the three traitors, before he became Kaka's apprentice, he had drunk a bottle of alchemy potion that could be synchronized, and with such an effect, coupled with the gangsters' methods, it is estimated that it is unlikely that these people will hide something even if they want to.
What needs to be paid attention to now is Viscount Andre, he came to Campbell like this, and there must be at least one or two strong people around him, plus he concealed his strength, in fact, he was already the original butler of the magic swordsman, Zhuo Ning, if it really started, it would depend on the situation to let the barbarian Sapa play.
Coupled with the 50,000 experience points retained, there are more than 60,000 experience in his hands so far, which can almost raise the mage to level ten, but the range of level ten can only add a few levels to the barbarians mentioned in the third order, and the playing time is increased by more than a minute, which is a little more than worth the loss for Li Ang who has Kaka next to him, he still wants to do his best to raise the level of the warrior, if he can be promoted to the third order, there are various talents and bonuses, and the combat effectiveness will be raised to a level.
"Mob of the Pale Mountains...... Aboriginal...... Monsters on the edge of the Great Wasteland...... The mountain people and beasts of the Bronze Helm Mountains......" Leon began to feel groggy as he pondered the goal of gaining experience points, and finally became sleepy.
By the time he opened his eyes again, a thin morning mist had covered the entire convoy, and there was silence in the sky, except for the monotonous and repetitive sound of the convoy moving forward.
At this time, the convoy had already reached Locke Avenue, which meant that it had been in Campbell for a long time, and Leon looked around at the scene, although there was not much difference from before, but there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity and intimacy in his heart.
"This is my territory......" Li Ang sighed a little in his heart, once upon a time would have such a luxury? I thought it was already good to have a place to stay, but I didn't expect to have a territory of my own now.
However, his heart was a little heavy, and he didn't feel it deep before, but when he arrived at the territory, he felt that this was not an illusory kind of capital that could be shown off, but a kind of responsibility.
Leon looked away again in his thoughts, this place should be less than a hundred miles away from Locke Town, and from here you can already vaguely see the endless wolf's kiss forest, like a shadow falling on the farthest point of vision.
"That's the ......forest I saw for the first time when I just came to this world," Leon sighed in his heart, if he hadn't met Caterina and Sophia later, he would probably hang up immediately after seeing the other world for the first time, and become the saddest person in the history of travel.
At that time, Caterina was still a strong, cold, and heroic female knight, and to this day Leon still remembers the black ponytail that danced with the owner's movements when she left the hostel after meeting him for the first time.
However, after getting acquainted with Caterina gradually, I found that her heart was not as good as it appeared on the outside, and because she was gradually getting closer to herself, she would be extremely tender and shy when she got along.
"This contrast of personalities is really cute......" Leon looked through the window to the second carriage, although the battlefield map could give feedback on the situation in the car, but he didn't want to do it, but he saw that the girls should have woken up and were gathering together to mutter, not knowing what they were talking about.
Although Caterina began to struck him as a formidable force, and later became a mainstay in the team's battles, Leon found that when the knight girl was alone, she occasionally showed a hint of loneliness and helplessness. This should be something that the girl remembered, and according to Li Ang's judgment, it should be a matter of her family, but this is a personal matter, and he is ready to ask what is going on when the relationship between the two people is more intimate, and if he can help, it is of course his duty to help.
In fact, among these people, Sophia was the first one he saw, the priest girl brought endless fun to the team all day long, and her trust and dependence on herself was also the heaviest among all of them, and I don't know how confident this blonde priest was in herself, and what she judged - was it because of her extraordinary perception?
Li Ang didn't know, and he had such a high perception and "formidable" affinity for Sophia, but his strength had been limited to the first order It was quite a headache, if he had the chance, he must find someone who understood and asked, of course, the alchemy master who also expressed doubts was not among them, but he could ask Ms. Krystal in the future, after all, he thought that he was a super strong person of the fifth order.
Melissa's potential as a little girl can be said to be one of the best in the team, except for being a little too "afraid" of herself, Loyal Cheng DΓΉ didn't say that as long as she faces the enemy, her wildness cultivated through years of survival in the wild in the chaotic land will be brought into full play, and it is worth increasing resources to cultivate it in the future, maybe she will be the first assassin in the future and the number one killer.
The contact time of the female mage Erin is too short, but in addition to the character of the eight women who is deeply hidden under the quiet appearance of few words, she is also impressed by her strong talent and attack ability, but Li Ang always feels that the relationship with Erin cannot develop as closely as other members, of course, this is just a personal feeling, and no one knows what will happen in the future.
