Chapter 395: Uneasy
I got home at 10 o'clock last night, and I wrote a chapter in a daze, but I read it today...... It's a bit biased to write on the basis of reading the outline...... It's mainly a reward for important tasks.,Find a chance to come back later-0-
......
"Sure enough, he was still a young man, and when he really saw the canonization of His Majesty the King, he was a little overjoyed and didn't know what to do. β
After Count Tang handed over Wen JiΓ n to Li Ang, he couldn't help but smile secretly when he saw the irrepressible joy on the other party's face, and at the same time, the looming vigilance in his heart was also reduced a little - although the speed at which this young man's strength expanded was somewhat amazing, and his personality was more rebellious than before, but ...... After all, his age is there, his experience in the world is too shallow, and his personality is inevitably a little naΓ―ve, as evidenced by this kind of expression that puts all his feelings on his face.
Such a person generally does not have any intrigues, so befriending him will not cause you too much trouble, and it will be worth it relative to the benefits that may be obtained in the future.
"Count Leon?" Don called softly, "the ceremony is over. β
Only then did Li Ang come back to his senses from the reward given by the attribute panel, he adjusted the focus of his eyes, looked at the old earl opposite, and smiled, "Yes, yes, the ceremony is over, thank you, Count Donne." β
"This is my duty, you are welcome," Don said, "Now that the official business has been completed, you don't need to be so restrained in the future, just be casual." β
Then he looked behind Li Ang and said, "I see that there are quite a few powerful talents among your subordinates, can you introduce them to me?"
In fact, for Donn's identity, in addition to the lord's wife and the girls whose identities have not been determined, that is, Jeff, the manager of Campbell, can make him interested in paying attention, but he is now putting on this attitude to narrow the distance between him and Leon.
Li Ang also understood, he bowed slightly, stretched his right hand forward, and said, "Of course it's no problem, let's come here first to talk, and I'll introduce you in turn when they come over." β
On such occasions, especially the ceremony of the lord's official succession to the title, there would definitely be people who would take turns to toast and congratulate, so Count Donn readily agreed, and followed the young man to the side of the wine table with Viscount Peg and the young baron.
When Leon stopped, he suddenly found that Duncan had appeared at the venue without knowing when, holding a plate full of sweets in his left hand and a bottle of fruit wine in his right hand, sitting in an open space where no one was around, drinking wine and looking up at the sky, quite a feeling of self-satisfaction.
Leon had always been very interested in this mysterious powerhouse, and when he saw this, he whispered to Earl Donne, "Who is he? Why have I never heard of him before?"
Don followed the young man's gaze, and when he saw Duncan's casual appearance, his face immediately sank, but then he returned to normal.
"O Duncan, he was a former soldier of the First Legion, but then he left the army for some unknown reason, and is said to have gone far north and only recently returned to Chester. β
Earl Donn raised his glass and gestured to Leon, took a sip, and then said, "This time, we need to pass through some dangerous areas all the way south, and we need to be accompanied by competent guards, so the foreign minister recommended him over, and that's it. β
Li Ang nodded slightly, and did not continue to ask.
Since Don made a light mention of Duncan's matter, it means that he doesn't want to explain it in too much detail, but it is enough for Leon to get some of Duncan's past from it, and the rest still needs to find an opportunity to ask Duncan himself.
At this time, Irene came over with a glass of orange-red fruit wine, and the Earl of Donne gestured to the girl's chin and said to Leon, "Who is this?"
"This ...... cough," Leon said halfway through, as if choked on a sip of wine, and coughed several times in succession.
"I am the clerk of Count Leon," said the maiden with a grin.
"Oh?" said Count Donn with an inexplicable expression, "Lord Count has such a beautiful clerk as you, which is the envy of us. β
In fact, Count Don didn't believe this girl's words at all, but looked at Leon's expression just now...... The slick old earl seemed to understand something, so he wouldn't be stupid enough to continue to ask, what the other party said was what it was, and it didn't matter to him anyway.
Erin also smiled, she glanced at Leon, turned her head to greet Viscount Peg and the young baron who had been neglected, and naturally chatted with these royal visitors.
Soon, the three people, including the Earl of Donn, became interested in the girl's erudition, especially the girl's gentle temperament and conversation, which made them feel like a spring breeze, and the atmosphere gradually became warm, plus Erin skillfully shifted the topic to Caterina several times, and finally even the female knight, who had been nervous, joined the chat.
β...... This girl is really good," Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief, he himself was not very accustomed to this kind of occasion, and it was estimated that he would have nothing to say after chatting with Tang En for a while, and Erin's cousin XiΓ n had relieved him in advance.
He stood beside him for a moment, and his eyes found Eric's figure at the back of the crowd, just as a dozen mercenaries left the gangster leader and hurried out along Manor Avenue.
Eric turned his head and saw the young man's inquiring gaze for the first time, and slowly shook his head at him, as if he still hadn't found Sophia.
At this time, the expression of the gangster leader was already more worried.
Li Ang frowned, turned sideways and said, "Count Tangen, I have something on my side, so let's leave for the time being." β
Of course, Count Don didn't mind this, and Leon gently put down his glass and walked towards the periphery of the venue.
Along the way, there were constantly familiar voices expressing excitement to Leon, and the young man, although he was a little absent-minded at this time, greeted them one by one with a smile, and after a few minutes, he finally came to Eric's side.
"What's going on?" asked Leon.
Eric sighed and said, "I don't know, Miss Sophia doesn't usually go too far, but today I don't know why, but her house, the flower beds and other places she often goes, and even the area around the manor...... But I just can't find her, it's too rare. β
Leon thought for a moment and said, "Which horse does she often ride?"
"I've had someone look to see it, and the horse that Miss Sophia has been riding isn't in the stable," said Eric at once.
"Have you asked the hired farmers who work in the valley outside?" said Leon.
"I was about to ask, I sent those people just now, and it shouldn't be long before they come back. β
"Eric, I'm not too worried, it's better for you to go," Leon said in a deep voice, "Ask carefully, and expand the search area a bit, you can't send all the mercenaries out." β
Eric hurried away, and Leon turned around, facing the manor avenue, and muttered, "This girl...... Where the hell did you go?"
