Chapter 553: It's Not What It Used To Be

When Leon and his party walked out of the Black Forest three days later, they first went to Sunshine Town, picked up Joseph and the others, who were almost waiting to see through them, and stayed for one night before leaving for the manor.

When Menshak brought back the news of the lord's return, the whole manor was almost boiling, and the people poured into the main road to cheer at the young lord who had returned triumphantly.

"Your Excellency, you're back!"

Jeff, Eric, Red, Old Jack, Singhal, Menshak, and the others lined up at the front, and their excitement was palpable.

"Yes, I'm back!" Leon waved at them.

Although he had only been away for twenty days, when the young man saw these familiar faces, he suddenly felt like he had been away for a long time.

The crowd swarmed Leon into Manor Avenue, and he found that there were many unfamiliar faces among them, most of them young people in their early twenties, and their eyes were more excited and curious than the others, and of course, there was a sense of awe. The other wave of people stood on the outside, and although they were also enthusiastic, they obviously felt less closeness from the heart.

Leon knew in his heart that the former should be a conscripted soldier, and the latter was probably the craftsmen recruited by Jeff as he said before, if you add some of the hunters he brought back, the population of the manor now has exceeded three hundred, which is much more lively than that of his grandfather.

The young man was a little excited, but at the same time quite moved, he thought for a moment, called Jeff over and whispered a few words, and waited until the chief manager had given an affirmative answer. He raised his hands to signal silence.

In an instant, no more voices could be heard from the crowd.

"Before...... Every year after the harvest month, my grandfather would hold a party at the estate. All the people of the estate were invited to join in and enjoy the food and wine together, from the afternoon until late at night, and I still remember the lively atmosphere of the time. ”

Speaking of this, Leon looked left and right, everyone was looking at him at this time, and some people had already guessed the young lord's intentions. I was happy for a while.

"Although it's been a while since the harvest moon has passed, it's nothing," Leon smiled slightly, "It's just a symbolic meaning. It is to commemorate the memory of the past, and also to wish the future days to be better. ”

"I now announce that there will be a big party on Manor Avenue tomorrow night, and everyone who is at the manor will be able to attend!"

The crowd immediately erupted in cheers. The young lord's return to the manor had already made them quite happy. In addition, there will be a festive party the next day, which is even more exciting.

"Alright," Leon clapped his hands, "let's go ahead with our own business first, and if you need help getting ready, Jeff will explain it to you." ”

The laughter faded away, but there were still nearly fifty people left, including more than thirty hunters brought from Sunshine Town.

Leon explained the origins of these hunters, and then said to Eric, "I promised that they would be the first hunters to settle in the trade zone. You'll need to deal with each other directly. ”

Cheney had already learned from Leon that this tall lanky man named Eric was the future director of the trade zone, and it could be said that he was the powerful person who would hold their lifeblood in the future. So he took Boris and Joseph and saluted him, and said, "Rest assured, Lord Eric, that we will strictly follow the rules of the trade zone in the future." ”

Eric's attitude is quite calm, and his response is also very decent, although the momentum is still lacking, but it can also show the sophistication of the past.

Leon interrupted the courtesy conversation between them and said with a smile: "Find a place for Cheney and them to live first, and you can talk about specific matters later." ”

The veteran mercenary was a man with vision, and he knew that Li Ang had been away for so long, and there would definitely be a lot of important things to do when he came back, so he took the initiative to say: "Lord Lord, don't worry about where you live, this is the first time you have come to your manor, can you allow us to walk around?"

After receiving permission, the hunters happily left, making room for Leon and his men to "catch up". Now the people left around him are the core companions of the young man, and he is finally completely relaxed, and his mood is simply too good.

Suddenly, Li Ang said, "Master Mentor, I know you care about me, so why don't you just come out, what are you hiding there for?"

There was a path between two nearby buildings, and Kaka's voice came from there.

"Hmph! Lao Tzu knows that you don't lack arms or legs, don't say it's so numb!"

"But you're finally back, and I can do something serious!

After saying two sentences, Kaka's voice was no longer visible, and Li Ang couldn't help but smile - he was very clear about his mentor's temper, and knew that Kaka must have been annoyed and angry because he told his whereabouts, so he didn't mind at all, but felt a little funny.

At this time, most of the people gathered around Sophia, and after a while, Red left the crowd and walked to Leon's side, looked him up and down a few times, and said, "You really brought Miss Sophia back safe and sound, and there were no fewer fights along the way, right?"

"It's not just a little more powerful," Li Ang patted the big man on the shoulder, sighed and said, "I'm the fourth order first, you still need to work hard." ”

"Ahh

"That's," said the young man, both in expression and tone.

The corners of Red's mouth twitched for a long time, and he finally sighed and said: "I think the first time I saw you was outside that small village, and I thought that although your kid had a temper and my appetite, his strength was too low, and it would be quite dangerous in that place in the Land of Chaos, so I still wanted to take care of you." ”

"I didn't expect it to take so many months...... You've overtaken me," Red shook his head, "Well, I knew I would go to the Black Forest with me no matter what you said, and although I might not be able to catch up with you, it's pretty good to see a person promoted to the transcendent rank with my own eyes." ”

Li Ang also sighed deliberately and said, "So you need to work hard, otherwise even Miss Melissa will soon surpass you, and it will be really shameless when the time comes, right?" ”

Red immediately turned his face and found the thin figure hiding at the outermost part of the crowd, and although Melissa was facing the other direction, the corners of her mouth seemed to be slightly curved.

The big man gritted his teeth, patted the young man's shoulder hard, and said hatefully: "Yes! I really have to work hard! I will follow you wherever you go in the future, don't try to throw me away again!"

After a while, Red looked at Leon strangely, but found that he deliberately slapped with such a strong force, but the other party nodded with a smile as if he was fine, as if he didn't feel it at all. (To be continued......)
