Leon swallowed the fluffy and delicious bread in one gulp, then took the last sip of the creamy breakfast soup, leaned back in his chair and sighed comfortably.
"That's how much I used to eat all day...... Now that I've eaten it all at once, I don't even feel full?" the young man rubbed his stomach while feeling that his food had increased by leaps and bounds, and he was about to evolve into a big stomach.
However, this is a normal phenomenon, and as anyone improves their strength, the body needs more and more nutrients, which can only be supplemented by food at present. Only when the fifth order or above, when the body can continue to absorb the invisible and colorless power scattered in the air as an energy replenishment, like breathing, will the amount of food gradually decline, but it is no longer possible to be like an ordinary person.
Thinking that the other companions were likely to be the same, Leon began to wonder if he needed to expand his farmland, or if he would ask Edward to order a batch of grain when he went to the City of Chaos this time?
Just as the young lord was making unwarranted plans, Chief Campbell opened the door.
"Your Excellency, you are awake. ”
Jeff first saw the young lord sitting at the edge of the dining table in a daze, then his eyes fell on the empty dishes on the table, and he said with a smile, "Do you want me to get another breakfast?"
"When is this, let's talk about it at noon. Leon shook his head and said, "Is there anything in the morning?"
"Moros and the mountain people have arrived at the manor, and he wants to meet you. Jeff walked over, still smiling on his face, "But everyone knows you're too tired this time, and I told him that you had a hard time last night, so Moros went to Yelena and Menshak's house first." ”
When there was no one else, the conversation between Jeff and Leon seemed rather casual, and the young man's mood became more relaxed. However, the meaning of Jeff's words seemed to mean something else, which made Leon's face begin to blush slightly.
So he coughed and didn't answer the other party's words at all. Instead, he asked, "Arrived so early?"
"Yes, I have already sent people over yesterday afternoon when the meeting was dismissed, and it is said that the mountain people are very excited, so they set out from the station almost in the early morning. It was just dawn. ”
"What about people from other places?"
"The farther villages and towns have sent people in advance. The three southern towns are relatively close to Fort Mark, so the person in charge of the notification just set off more than half an hour ago, but they will definitely be able to rush back together at noon. ”
Leon nodded, quite satisfied with Jeff's arrangement, but it reminded him of something he had been thinking about for a long time, and he couldn't help but take a serious look at the other party.
Manager Campbell looked down at what he was wearing, and then raised his hand to touch the neat shape of his head to make sure there was nothing out of the ordinary. Only then did he ask suspiciously, "My lord, what's wrong?"
"Jeff. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, the trust between us is not inferior to anyone else," Li Ang said slowly, "Isn't it?"
Hearing such a question, Jeff's expression gradually became stern, he nodded, and said, "Yes." ”
"Then I want to ask you a question to tell me what I really think," Leon said.
Seeing the other party nodding, the young man thought for a moment and said, "Among these people around me, in fact, you and Katerina have something in common, she has her own family in the distance, and those inseparable memories, and you used to be a field nobleman, somewhere...... There will be a lot of memories of the past. ”
"So if you want, I can do my best to help you get rid of those who occupy the territory before this operation to liberate the Ancient Tree, I believe that with my current strength, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to do so, and at the same time, I will support you in all ways to fight for the restoration of your status as a local nobleman, so that you can return to the territory in a bright and bright way, and I believe that there are still your family and friends waiting for you. ”
Leon looked Jeff in the eye and continued, "Of course, you can also choose to stay in Campbell and manage this land for me. ”
The brown-haired middle-aged man was visibly surprised by Leon's words, and he sat down at the other end of the table, holding his chin in his hand, as if he was seriously considering.
After a few moments, Jeff spoke, "To be honest, this Jian yì did make my heart flutter, but forget it, not to mention that I don't have any family or friends? ”
"In addition, my personality is actually not suitable to be a land lord," Jeff smiled, and continued, "And since I saw your cousin, I have come to understand how far I am from a qualified lord, and it is better to follow you steadily than to let me go back reluctantly." ”
"You're a little too modest," Leon said, "and since you've been Campbell's steward, I feel as if you're more experienced in managing the affairs of your realm than I am." ”
"No, that's different," Jeff leaned back in his chair, a hint of emotion on his face, "The steward is just assisting the lord in handling some trivial matters, or just continuing the lord's will, and he doesn't have to think too much about the future direction of the territory, and there is not so much responsibility and pressure at all, so he can stimulate my enthusiasm." ”
"Because I know that when Campbell encounters any difficulty that I can't solve, or when Campbell's development reaches a very critical point of divergence, there is someone who can make a strong choice and guide us all the way behind him. ”
"That person is you," Jeff said, his eyes lit up, "and the influence and decisiveness you have is what I lack, and I can't do it no matter how hard I try." ”
"Is there such a strict zhòng?" said Li Ang with a smirk.
"Of course," Jeff's expression was unusually serious, "you may not realize that there is a trait in you that attracts people who share your personality and goals, and that you can not only make people who have been with you feel trusted, but also give us a fairly solid sense of security." ”
"That's true," Jeff said at once, seeing that Leon wanted to speak, "not only me, but also when they were chatting with Eric and the others. ”
"So, in this land full of crises, I still choose to continue to be the manager of Campbell, for your success, for everyone's goals, do what I can, this is the best choice. ”
There was silence in the room for a moment, and Leon said slowly, "Okay, I respect your choice. ”
At this point in the conversation, Leon had already made clear the other party's wishes. In fact, for him, Jeff is indeed the best candidate for Campbell's manager, and if it weren't for Jeff's request, Leon would really be reluctant to let him go.
However, Jeff's opinion of him would be so high was indeed beyond the expectations of the young lord, and the thought that many people might think this way, Leon suddenly felt a little more weight on his shoulders.
"My lord, we are all looking forward to the future you have mapped for us," Jeff said with a final grin.
"Of course," the young man's face slowly brightened, and his confidence began to rise, "I said that if you work hard with me, then you will definitely be able to do it." ”
"Yes," Jeff said, "every one of us will." (To be continued......)
