Chapter 141: Receiving Gifts
Leon guessed Eric's thoughts, but he didn't say much, let alone make any promises.
"What's the other thing?" asked Leon, he had a good impression of Eric now, and since the other party said so, if there was something to ask for next, as long as it wasn't too much, he could do it.
"There are a few friends of mine in Downtown, and they also participated in this battle......" At this, Eric hesitated.
Li Ang estimated that the other party wanted to fight for a reward for these people, but what he said next surprised him a little.
"They know that I have joined the mercenary group, and after this battle, they feel that if they can follow you in the future, they will have a better future than now. ”
"So," Eric paused, and finally said, "They want to join the mercenary group, let me help ask if it's possible." ”
Li Ang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he had guessed wrong, and then he was a little surprised, "Could it be that I have gotten mixed to the point where the heroes of the Eight Directions took the initiative to vote and said that my brother would bow his head?"
However, he did a good job of hiding his inexplicable excitement and said, "What is their character?"
Eric thought for a moment, a little unsure of how to answer.
These friends were made by him in more than ten years of down-and-out career, and he usually did all those sinister deeds in secret, so it was really difficult to say that he had a good character. He thought for a long time, and finally burst out with a sentence: "I have known them for nearly ten years, and I think the most important thing is that they are very righteous. ”
Li Ang understood as soon as he heard it, he didn't rush to speak, and thought carefully for a while.
The strength of these people is not very high, it is estimated that they are all first-order, and they must have been contaminated with gangster habits for many years in the lower city, and it is estimated that the atmosphere of this team is a little out of tune, and there is no relationship like Eric and Kaka, so it is said that there is no need to bring it in.
However, now that he had seen Eric's talents, coupled with the accumulation of knowledge in his previous life, he knew the importance of intelligence to an organization, so he had an idea - he wanted to let this former intelligence broker return to his old business, but the object of service became Leon himself.
And in this way, Eric alone is a little insufficient, there must be funds and manpower assistance, funds are not a big problem for Leon now, but manpower is not easy to find, and now these Eric friends come to the door, isn't it just an opportunity.
"Eric, you know our next plan, I will soon cancel the mercenary group, so there is no need to mention joining the mercenary group," Leon looked at the other party and said, "However, if this is the case, they still want to follow me, but they can become peripheral members first." ”
Seeing that Eric's expression was a little confused, Leon decided to reveal his thoughts a little.
"Eric, you have a good set of collecting and analyzing intelligence, if you don't continue to develop in this area, I think it's too wasteful, so I'm going to give you a few people and some funds, and then concentrate on collecting intelligence for me in the future, how about it?"
A hint of excitement appeared on Eric's face, "You mean that I will return to my old profession in the future, and these people will also be handed over to me?"
"That's right," Leon laughed.
Eric took a deep breath as he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "Okay! I'm willing to do this, and I'm sure I'll reassure you!"
"Of course I believe that this is a hypothesis for the time being, and as for the specific things, we will study them later when we have time. ”
Eric nodded, and quickly left, presumably in a hurry to reply to his friends.
Kaka, who had been listening silently, said, "When are you going to leave?"
"At the very least, I have to see the people I should see, and I have collected the things that should be collected, and it is estimated that the money will be spent on this trip back, and I am still counting on them. ”
"Okay, I've been studying that wreck in the basement for the past few days, don't bother me if there's nothing to do!"
Li Ang looked at the back of the tutor, and said: "I will listen to this kind of excuse, I guess he is still worried about His Excellency the Speaker......"
However, even if all the members of the group were gone, Leon found that he couldn't be idle, because the big names began to appear on their own screens again, making him almost overwhelmed.
These people seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they all came to visit ten minutes after the previous one left, as if they deliberately left time for Leon to digest what they had gained last time.
The first to arrive was Austin, the paladin walked into the small building with steady steps, first apologized to Leon, and then expressed his gratitude,
Austen's apology was very general, but the specific reason was clear to both parties, and then he asked where Caterina was, not paying attention to Leon's answer, but directly asking if Caterina could go to the Hand of Glory when she returned.
Leon understood that the other party wanted to give Caterina some benefits, which was very acceptable to him, so he agreed to it for the knight girl first, and at the same time mentioned some alchemy materials that Tikaka wanted to get.
Austin didn't say anything after hearing this, but politely said goodbye and left, Leon knew that what the mentor had explained was fine.
Next was Steve, the patriarch of the Black Hand Brotherhood who brought a thin roll of paper, which startled Leon when he explained it, and immediately felt that the paper in his hand had become heavy.
This turned out to be the title deed of a small three-story building in the northwest of Downtown!
"You saved the Brotherhood, and I can't say enough to express my gratitude, but you know that we will have a hard time in the near future, so I will transfer a property that belongs to me to you, and I hope that Captain Li Ang will not dislike it. ”
"Disgusted, just kidding!" Li Ang said in his heart: "I didn't expect that Lao Tzu would own his own property just over a month ago, and he didn't have to struggle for decades?"
He immediately wanted to go around the property that already belonged to him, but in order not to be too embarrassed, he expressed his gratitude casually.
After Steve left, Leon remembered that he was about to leave the City of Chaos, what did he need a house for?
But then Mr. Edward pulled his happiness back in time, and he brought with him a small bag, but when he opened it, a blue glow immediately emanated.
Azurite coins, not much, only ten, but equivalent to 100,000 gold coins.
"This fat man still understands me......" Leon sighed, and Edward then handed Leon another dimensional bag, indicating that it contained some alchemy materials, and gave it to him together.
"Merchants are different! Look at how thoughtful Edward is, simple, convenient, and so pleased!"
I don't know if it's because I'm too happy or because I've seen too much of the tavern owner Julie on this day, and Leon looks at Edward at this time and thinks he's a lot more handsome.
"Leon, you know, cough, I've lost a lot of money this time......" Edward blinked his small eyes, looking extremely pitiful.
Of course, Li Ang knew that the other party put on such a posture in order to complain to himself, the initiator, so he persuaded bitterly: "President Edward, I don't believe that you will not see the opportunity here, these rewards are a lot, but if you pay them all, doesn't it mean that the task of gathering these people to defend the city is the one you led and issued? Erecting such an image of a businessman who understands righteousness and strictly abides by his promises, you don't know how much it will help you in the future, right?"
"Think about it, is it worth using this money to create such a deeply rooted image? And these are your intangible assets, you will take them with you wherever you go, do you think it is worth it?"
Speaking of this, the expression on Leon's face, "I'm all for your good, why don't you push it to you without pushing it to others?" on Leon's face, which made Edward stunned, and he couldn't even say a word.
Finally, Edward sighed: "Captain Leon, with your mouth, I find that it is a waste for you not to go into business. ”
Li Ang said in his heart, you said a little late, and some people said that it would be a waste if I didn't learn alchemy.
"But there are some bright spots in what you said, and they are worth studying ...... me," Edward wondered, "Did you say this casually or did you really think about it?"
"Of course I thought about it for you!" Leon didn't let go.
Edward stared at Leon for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said unusually easily: "No matter what, I have the right to think about you for me, then thank you." ”
"In that case, then Captain Leon should think a little more about me, and after you return to Canberra and successfully take back the territory, can you let me develop some business opportunities in your territory?"
This time it was Li Ang's turn to sigh, this fat man was not only well-informed, but also had a keen sense of smell, but this should also be a good thing for himself, in the future, the mineral deposits and other products of the territory may need a channel, and a giant like the Skyrim Chamber of Commerce is also the best choice.
"No problem!"
Then the two of them muttered for a while, and discussed the future contact information and cooperation methods, and Edward took his leave contentedly.
The elder climbed into the carriage and drove down the road to the business district, and as he passed an alley, there was suddenly an additional person in the car.
"How?" the man sat down next to Edward.
"It's not bad, this young man is special and interesting. Edward said.
"I didn't ask him, have you thought about our next cooperation?" the man said, "This time I was really lucky, the situation changed before the plan was launched, which really saved me too much effort, but your acting skills at that time were indeed first-class......"
At this moment, a ray of sunlight poured in through the curtains, and just shone on the faces of the visitors, reflecting a pale but very handsome face.
Then the curtains were pulled tight, and it was no longer possible to see inside the carriage.
