Campbell's summer is hot, but it's almost autumn, and trade winds often come from the north at night, so the temperature is relatively low. In particular, Li Ang and a few members of the group drank some wine, and felt the cool breeze blowing the heat of the day without a trace, and suddenly felt comfortable and happy.

The small talk between them was quite time-saving, and soon it was late at night, and the sound of insects in the fields not far away was clearly in the ears, urging people to be sleepy one by one.

Sophia couldn't hold on anymore first, yawned and came to Erin, who had been sitting quietly, and said, "Sleepy, Sister Irene, where are we sleeping today?"

The black-haired girl raised her head, the corners of her eyes swept over Leon diagonally opposite, her lips moved slightly to say something, but finally she stood up silently, and led Sophia to a nearby clearing to summon the traveler's hut.

"This girl has a pretty thin heart...... "Leon smiled as he looked at Erin's figure.

Previously, at the insistence of the old man Hank, some women still packed up a few large houses for Leon and his party to live in temporarily. However, the atmosphere of the dinner was too warm, and most of the people drank too much wine, especially some old people, who quickly became drunk, so Li Ang did not let them go back to their residence, and arranged for them to be in a nearby big house.

As a result, the house was a little insufficient, and when everyone including the elves was arranged, there was only one room left empty, and if the girls wanted to live in it, Leon and the others would have to set up tents and sleep in the open, and Erin noticed this, so she chose to continue to live in the Traveler's Hut.

Kaka also stood up and said, "Let's get together for one night today, and tomorrow you remember to leave me the biggest workshop!"

After saying that, without waiting for Li Ang to reply, Kaka walked to the empty house, and his hurried movements made Li Ang guess if the alchemy master was in a hurry to pick the best room.

"There are only three rooms in each room, what is there to pick ......" Leon was very disdainful of this behavior of the mentor, but immediately Jeff's voice came to his ears again.

"I'm going to sleep too!" said the brown-haired man.

"Ha, I seem to be sleepy too, we'll see you tomorrow!" the gangster leader walked away.

"You guys......" Leon looked at the backs of several people who quickly disappeared and was helpless, but he knew that Jeff and Eric's intentions were not as shameless as their mentor Kaka, they actually wanted to give themselves some time alone.

Of course, she was alone with Caterina, and the knight girl was still sitting next to her, watching the people around her leave one after another, her face was also a little impressive, and it seemed that she had also discovered the intentions of these people.

But Leon was a little strange, his eyes turned back, he looked at a girl across the table, and wondered why she was still here.

The girl was Melissa, and she stared straight at the remnants of wine in her glass, but she didn't mean to drink or get up.

"She drank too much?" Leon muttered.

Leon was staring at Melissa, the Assassin girl was staring at the glass, as if something new and strange was hidden inside, and Caterina hung her head slightly, as if she was taking a keen interest in the empty tabletop, and for a moment the three of them fell into a strange silence.

Suddenly, a figure ran out of the traveler's hut, and the blonde-haired priest girl came to the table panting, grabbed Melissa's palm, and said, "Sister Erin can also play tricks, come with me to see!"

After saying that, he pulled the smaller and thin girl out of the table, and Melissa at this time ran back to the hut with Sophia in a panic as if she had suddenly realized.

It wasn't until she could no longer see what was going on outside that Melissa hid her throbbing chest, completely unaware of why her mind seemed to be empty.

"It's because I don't drink much bar...... "The girl thought to herself, "it's said that alcohol dulls people's minds, so I just made a mistake!"

"As a sharp blade in the hands of the head of the regiment, you must not drink in the future, what a delay!" the girl finally made such a decision.

......

Not to mention Melissa's self-reflection, Li Ang finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, the feedback from the battlefield map was very clear, and there was absolutely no one within twenty meters.

He lifted his hand and placed it on the palm of Caterina that had been resting on the edge of the table, feeling a chill.

Although the girl's palm was delicate and smooth, the overall feeling was extremely stiff, and her head hung even harder, as if she didn't want to lift it up at all.

“...... There is progress!" Seeing that the other party did not withdraw his hand even though he was shy like this, let alone exclaim like last time, Li Ang commented with satisfaction.

Satisfaction is satisfaction, although Li Ang is the active party, in fact, he doesn't have much experience, although he has experienced a lot in the twenty years of his previous life, the only thing missing is this kind of experience.

There are a lot of them in the second memory, but Leon doesn't want to use this method, and has even blocked out similar processes in this memory, because he is ready to really experience it.

"Lao Tzu, this is the first time, okay?

So Li Ang calmed down, feeling the delicate touch in his hand while turning all kinds of thoughts.

Just as he was planning happily, Caterina suddenly said, "Leon, after you are officially recognized, I will leave for a while." ”

The formal recognition she spoke of certainly included the whole process—the king's approval, the formal delivery of the canonization instrument to Leon, the recognition of the main nobles of the royal capital and many lords, and the normalization of the surrounding state of affairs.

Leon understood what she meant, too, and could hear a certain meaning from the words of the knight maiden, "I want to leave for a while", something he was looking forward to.

After Caterina said this, she finally raised her head, and Leon looked at her clear gaze and said tentatively, "You mean ......?"

"Yes, I'll leave for a while, and then I'll ......" The very tender-faced girl was firm this time, she met Leon's gaze, and continued, "Then I'll be back." ”

Li Ang was infected by the other party's affection, and the various thoughts that were still circling in his mind just now disappeared, and the only movement was to grasp the girl's palm, "Okay, how long will it take?"

Caterina's eyes flickered, and Leon sensitively caught a look of struggle and uncertainty in it.

"Half a year. ”

"So long?"

"Yes...... It's a long way to go," Caterina's gaze began to wander again, but quickly regained her original state, "and there's a lot to deal with." ”

"Do you need my help?" asked Leon tentatively, for he had some kind of information from what he had just discovered—that Caterina might have some trouble going back this time.

"No," Caterina replied quickly this time, "I'll take care of my own business, you ...... Just wait for me to get back. ”

Although the two of them didn't talk about what would happen when the knight girl returned, they had a tacit understanding with each other, so the focus of the conversation was on other aspects.

"Is it really not necessary?" asked Leon.

"Yes. ”

"Well, I respect your decision," Leon squeezed the other man's palm heavily, "but if you don't come back in half a year, I will definitely go to you." ”

"You ......" Caterina bit her lip, looking at Leon's eyes, which were unusually bright even in the firelight in the middle of the night, and understood that the other party's attitude was very firm.

"Okay, okay," she nodded helplessly at last.

She knows her own business, and after she goes back this time, the family will definitely bring up the old matter with her, and she will threaten her with the arrears again, but now she has saved one-third of the money, and it is estimated that it will be about the same when Li Ang's territory settles down, since the arrears can be made up, what is the future. I'm afraid that they will threaten themselves with their mothers, like that...... What to do?

And...... Will my mother agree to leave? Although these years have been very unsatisfactory, after all, it carries the memories of my mother to my father, and the memories of my mother and myself.

"But...... If my father is still alive...... It's going to be a lot easier, right?" Caterina looked at a torch not far away in confusion, and fell into some kind of memory.

Leon wisely did not interrupt Caterina's deep thoughts, he just held the other man's palm tightly, encouraging the girl in this way, but he also saw that Caterina was not only in trouble, but also not small.

"It's nothing," Li Ang said in his heart, "Don't worry, I've got me." ”
