Chapter 169: Interrupt
Not far from the crowd sat Caterina and Melissa, the knight girl looked tall even when she was sitting, and Melissa leaned slightly against Caterina, her thin body was a little weak and slender in comparison.
The two of them were very quiet, in contrast to Sophia's activity among the elven girls, and Leon changed his mind and walked over.
"Leon ......"
Seeing the young man approaching, Caterina immediately stood up, reached out to brush the strands of hair that were scattered around her ears, and called out his name with her head slightly down. And Melissa also stood up suddenly, standing in front of Leon, her muscles began to tense, and the whole person looked a little hard.
Leon felt funny, and he didn't know what impression he had left on this once wild girl, every time he saw it, it didn't look like the kind of character he had when he first saw him.
"Relax, Melissa, it's not in the wild, and there's no beast to be on guard at all times, there's no need to be so nervous. ”
Leon originally wanted to say that I was not a beast, but in the memory of his previous life, this analogy seemed to be a little inappropriate, maybe it would make people think that he had other intentions for this girl, although the two people in front of him would definitely not understand, but still changed his words.
"I—I know...... Melissa said as she lowered her head, her hands hanging unnaturally at her sides, visibly still nervous.
Li Ang was speechless, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and finally said, "Melissa, you have been with us for some days, haven't you gotten used to it?"
"Habit, and everyone is very good to me," Melissa raised her head slightly, swept Li Ang from the corner of her eye, and immediately dodged away, "Especially the head of the regiment, he also gave me a lot of good things, thank you!"
"Thank you, this is what you deserve, and your potential is very good, and I look forward to your growth. ”
Leon gave a leadership compliment, then reached out and patted Melissa on the shoulder in encouragement.
When his hand touched the other party's thin and bony shoulders, the girl's hanging hands suddenly grabbed the hem of her clothes, a row of white pearl-like teeth bit her lower lip tightly, and her legs involuntarily tightened.
"What is this looking like is making trouble?" Li Ang saw that this seemed to be the "standard" action in those small movies in his previous life, and he almost didn't vomit out a mouthful of old blood.
"Lao Tzu is not a flood beast, don't you want to be nervous like this!" the young regiment leader shouted silently in his heart.
"Regiment, regimental commander, I'm going to find Sister Sophia!" After saying that, Melissa immediately took a few steps back, then turned her head and ran behind Sophia and sat down.
"She hasn't lived in the wild for a few years, why is she so bold...... Li Ang was very puzzled, and he saw that Melissa still called herself the head of the regiment after hesitating for a while, it is estimated that this little girl is a tendon, and she doesn't want to change her words if she recognizes a title.
"Forget it, let her go, just a title, if you can't bear this point, wouldn't it be a shame for me as a 'future earl'. ”
However, Melissa's run away left him and Caterina alone space.
"Katerina, sit down," Leon stopped paying attention to the girl who had run away, and he sat down on the ground, patted the ground beside him, and gestured to the silent knight girl beside him.
Seeing that Caterina was almost stiff with her neck stalked, moved stiffly, and then carefully sat down next to her, Leon seemed to see four big words appear in front of her eyes - "Femdom begins".
"Sister's ...... It seems that I have seen this kind of thing too much before, why don't you suddenly think of it?" Leon examined himself. But even if he wanted to train, he had to beware of whether the knight girl with a tender face would overreact, and then draw his sword and stab it.
Leon thought about it seriously and affirmed the possibility of this idea, so he gave up the idea that popped into his mind.
At this time, Jeff and Eric walked back behind Jack, but when they saw Leon and Caterina sitting alone, the brown-haired man and the gangster leader looked at each other, and they very tacitly stopped Jack's plan to report to Leon, and guided the veteran to the opposite place.
"With these two people, why not worry about the great cause?" said the future young earl, and at the same time decided that at least a part of the remuneration should be added in the future.
Leon's attention quickly turned back, he looked at the girl next to him, and said, "Katarina, remembering that we escaped from Locke Town together, and finally left the kingdom here through Guò, it seems like yesterday. ”
"Yes," the knight girl immediately felt more comfortable when she realized that this was the topic, "because a lot of things have happened since leaving, so I feel that time flies quickly." ”
"I remember seeing you at that time, you were still a low-level adventurer who didn't know anything, and now you are a very powerful warrior, Leon, just like those recruits said when they were teaching you swordsmanship in the square of Locketown, you are a genius. ”
"You're also very good," Leon said with a smile, "I used to complain about myself a lot, but now your ability can completely protect your teammates." ”
Caterina lowered her head, but the corners of her mouth could be seen slightly upturned, and she seemed to be happy with Leon's words.
"It's been an easy few days, and I guess we'll be busy in the future......," Leon picked up a weed from the ground and crushed it between his fingers, "It is said that a little further south, in the direction of Campbell's territory, there are constantly mobs and natives from the Pale Mountains coming down to attack, and there are other unforeseen things, and we have to start fighting again." ”
"Fighting is a way to hone your will and skill," Caterina said firmly, "as long as it's your decision, I'm not afraid to fight more." ”
When Leon heard this, he immediately remembered an expectation from before, and he raised his head and looked at the knight girl's turned face, and the eyes on it were shining.
"Katarina, I have something to ask you, I don't know if you can say yes......" Leon said.
"Huh?" replied the knight girl, suddenly feeling that the other party's tone had changed somewhat, and that the meaning that might be contained in this sentence was very rich, and her heart began to beat rapidly again.
"After the battle," Leon said slowly, looking at Caterina who was slowly lowering her head, "can you ......?"
He was about to ask if he could stay forever when a commotion suddenly came from the opposite side of the town.
A dozen people approached from the road outside the town, joking loudly with each other, and then laughing together, seemingly without scruples.
"Your sister's ......" Although Leon didn't want to pay attention to these people who unscrupulously broke the silence of the evening, and most importantly interrupted the sentence he was about to ask, but Eric had told him something about Jack before, and the group of people who appeared in this place at this time had his goal in mind.
So Leon scolded a few words, of course, he couldn't scold in front of Katarina, he stood up and said, "Go back and find a time." ”
Caterina stood up as well, nodded her head, and walked in the direction of the carriage, but her movements were a little slow, and she wondered if she was thinking about something.
Only then did Li Ang officially turn his gaze to the approaching crowd, these people were dressed in different styles of leather armor, with weapons hanging from their waists or backs, their language was vulgar and their faces were fierce, they looked like they should be a mercenary group.
They also spotted the carriage in the open space outside the intersection and the group of strangers gathered around, and their voices immediately fell silent, and a look of wariness appeared on their faces.
Leon walked to the closest position to the road, folded his arms in front of his chest, and scanned the crowd of people who were cautiously walking against the outside of the road with a flat gaze, and in his perception, the target was indeed in the group.
When the last person passed in front of him, Leon suddenly spoke, "Bob!"
A strong man in the middle of the crowd immediately turned around, and the footsteps of the dozen or so people also stopped.
"Who are you? do you know me?" the strong man took a few steps back, and looked at him suspiciously, now that it was dark, he couldn't see Li Ang's face clearly for a while.
"Who is he?" The leading man, who was a little stronger than Bob, walked back.
"I don't know," said Bob, turning to Leon, "You called me something?"
These people are usually not so easy to talk, but when they see that the number of each other is twice as large as their own, and they don't know each other, the way they speak is a little restrained.
"It's true," a faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Ang's mouth, "I heard...... You once stole two gems from Jack's house?"
"How do you know...... Fart! Who dares to slander Lao Tzu!"
