Chapter 276: The Second Manor Meeting (I)

"Ahh

The priest girl had come back a while earlier than Li Ang, but she had been sleeping, and she had not refreshed herself until early this morning, and her eyes lit up when she saw the delicacies on the table.

"Beautiful young lady," Jeff pretended to be reserved, stroking his hand over his chest and bowing slightly, "this is the best compliment for me." ”

Red, who had seen Jeff's craft for the first time, also had his eyes shining, and a pair of large hands flew back and forth, filling one of his big mouths, and he had to praise loudly and vaguely.

He didn't have Sophia's treatment, and Mr. Gourmet gave him a roll of his eyes, and seemed to be very disdainful of this rude way of eating, but this did not affect the appetite of the rough man in the slightest, and plates of delicious food disappeared from his mouth in succession.

Li Ang swallowed the last bite of bread and gave a thumbs up in his heart.

Although he still misses the taste of soy milk fritters, he has adapted to the Western diet for a period of time, and feels that the taste of bread and thick soup is acceptable, especially Jeff's cooking skills have exceeded the average level, and with Clement's guidance, whether it is color, shape or taste, it has become a kind of enjoyment.

However, in the first half of this breakfast, Li Ang was a little unsavory.

Clement's words had been echoing in his mind, and the timing was so good that he couldn't believe that it was just the old man's unintentional words, but if he could really peek into other people's thoughts...... That would be terrible!

Leon had been perceiving Clement's movements and expressions, but had not noticed anything unusual, and the old gentleman had been fighting with Eric next to him for a plate of fish fillets in front of him, and then began to talk to Jeff about the many delicacies of the Mercantile City-State Alliance, attracting the attention of most people.

I have to say that Clement is absolutely knowledgeable, and he has a funny conversation, excellent associative ability, can start from the taste of bread, through the growth of grains, the change of weather, the proportion of the rainy season and the dry season, the influence of the ocean climate, etc., even all the way to the taste of the various fish in the Great Demon Sea, and finally can return from the topic of the Great Demon Sea, talking about what kinds of fish are in the green river that flows through the manor, and how to keep the fresh taste of the fish while cooking.

With the tone of "ah?", "whoa!", "huh?", "oh!" and other tone particles at the dinner table, Clement seemed to be the most satisfied, and the folds on his face could almost block his eyes with a smile.

“...... The old gentleman is quite popular, isn't it?" Leon gradually relaxed in this warm atmosphere, and no longer deliberately pondered Clement's intentions just now, anyway, the strength of the other party far exceeded that of everyone here, what could he do with him when he sensed his thoughts?

Even for Erin's sake, there's no way I'm going to do that!

Now that he had figured it out that he couldn't take Clement anyway, the young man let it go, and he joined in the discussion, and from time to time he could put forward his own opinions based on some food memories from his previous life, which made the old gentleman's eyes shine and praise the young lord's whimsy.

"Ha! I just say that Brother Leon is the best!" Sophia never hesitated to praise Leon.

However, Leon soon noticed a situation that made him a little concerned - Clement occasionally glanced at the elated priest girl, and whenever his gaze became elusive, and then in an instant he returned to normal, which would not have been possible if it had not been for the young lord's constant attention to him.

"Could it be that there is still something wrong with Sophia's body?" Leon pondered, he knew that this old man's vision was very powerful, so he guessed whether it could be that after Sophia suffered the damage of that spell underground, there were still some effects that had not completely subsided until now, so that Clement could see it.

And recently, the priest girl has become more easily tired, sometimes sleeping for more than ten hours a day will often be sleepy, Li Ang also asked the mentor about this, but Kaka can't see any substantial damage to Sophia's body, just told her to rest more, so the young man has always felt nothing.

Leon pondered for a while, and decided to take another look, and if Sophia's condition had not eased, he would consult Clement, and perhaps he could see what the reason was.

Breakfast time lasted for dozens of minutes, now of course there is no need for Jeff to do such a thing as cleaning up the table, a few energetic little girls shuttled back and forth a few times to clean up, and when they retreated, Li Ang knocked on the table and said: "There are very many people today, and I can't say that I will have to leave for a few days after a while, so I will come to discuss the next step of the arrangement now." ”

"Jeff, please go and call Singal over," the young lord thought for a moment, and then added, "Eric, let those mercenary captains come over." ”

The steward and the superintendent took the order, and the others sat in their chairs and waited quietly, and suddenly Leon noticed that there was a superfluous person sitting here, looking at a book spread out on the table with relish, as if he did not notice that the local lord was about to hold an internal meeting.

None other than Clement.

"Ahem......" The young lord coughed lightly at the uninteresting old gentleman, but the other party seemed to have been immersed in the vast ocean of knowledge, and did not react to the sound of the outside world at all, until the light cough turned into a violent cough, and then he raised his head blankly and looked at Li Ang.

"What?" Clement asked, frowning, seemingly unhappy with the interference.

"We're going to discuss something," Leon replied with a frown, as if he was also dissatisfied with the old gentleman's sluggishness.

"Oh......" Clement nodded, pushed his chair back, stood up and walked out, then sat down on a wooden box next to him under Leon's expectant gaze, opened the book and continued to read.

"Your sister ......"

Leon was helpless, in fact, he also understood that even if Clement left this area surrounded by wooden boxes that doubled as a restaurant and office, as long as he wanted to, it would not be easy to hear the conversation here, so why bother to be angry with an old man, right?

Ten minutes later, Singal and the mercenary captains all arrived, and Singal naturally sat in the empty seat, but several men were invited to such a formal occasion by the lord for the first time after the change of identity, and they were at a loss for a while, and they didn't know what to do when they stood aside.

The hired workers brought a few chairs, and then Li Ang spoke: "You are already considered my subordinates, and your status will soon change from the leader of the mercenary group to the captain, so you can also attend this discussion and find a place to sit by yourself." ”

The vulgar men did not understand the word "attendance", but "auditor" did, and Kubi was the first to lift his chair, nodding to the people sitting around the table with a smile on his face, and as he slipped to the outermost part, he sat down in an orderly manner, and several others immediately followed suit, and finally found their respective positions after a period of confusion.

Jeff spread out a thick notebook, flipped through the front, and saw the "First Manor Meeting" more than half a month ago, and then turned back to the first blank page, and wrote "The Second Manor Meeting" in a dignified manner.

Leon sat on the throne, with Katerina, Sophia, Melissa, and Erin on his right, Jeff, Eric, Red, and Singel, the elves' representatives, on his left, and Kaka, the master alchemist, and Jack, the veteran, on the opposite side.

On the periphery are Kubi and the leaders of the three mercenary groups, and there should be a lot of outstanding young people who will sign up on the recruitment day in a few days.

This is all he has now, and for this reason a sense of pride involuntarily rises in the hearts of young people.

Exclude, of course, the uninteresting old gentleman who was sitting cross-legged on a wooden box and seemed to be attracted by the Chinese offering in his hand.

"My lord, everyone is here," Jeff knew some of the rules of the nobles very well, so when everyone was seated, he reported to Leon very seriously.

Suddenly, fourteen eyes fell on the lord in the middle, this scene was very similar to the various meetings and trainings that the young man had attended in his previous life, but at that time he usually sat in the corner, and never thought that he would also sit on the main seat in the near future, greeting everyone's eyes.

If this scene happened when Li Ang had just crossed over, he would definitely be so nervous that he would probably not even be able to organize his words. However, after such a period of training, as well as the relationship with these companions cultivated through birth and death, he now looks at these eyes calmly and without stage fright.
