Chapter 450: Hillarily's Acquaintance
When the tavern door was pushed open, Leon almost thought he was dazzled. After a while, he asked Erin, who had come closer, "I didn't ask you to go back to study with Mr. Clement, why did you come back again?"
"The teacher wasn't there, he left me a note saying that he would leave for a few days, I was tired of reading every day, and the manor didn't need me for the time being, so he came along," Erin said as a matter of course.
Li Ang looked at the girl opposite helplessly, and said, "Do you also have times when you are tired of reading? If you want to join in the fun, just say it, I can't drive you back again, right?"
Erin looked rather happy, and didn't mind the young man's tone at all.
Leon sighed and stopped continuing the topic, instead asking what he cared about the most.
"What did Master Kaka say?"
Erin's eyes rolled, and she imitated Kaka's tone and said, "I'm not a jack of all trades! Why do you come to ask me about everything!But what the girl said makes sense, anyway, you can go to the Black Forest and try it!"
Although Erin didn't imitate it very similarly, Leon could imagine the tone and expression of the mentor at that time.
Then Erin smiled and said, "However, before leaving, the master told me that you don't worry, the problem should not be too big. ”
"How did I meet such an unreliable mentor...... "Li Ang sneered, at this time he had forgotten that not long ago he thought that meeting Kaka was the luckiest thing.
But now there is no other way, since even Kaka is not a reliable building. Then you can only continue to go deeper into the Great Wasteland according to Fiona.
But Erin's last words relieved the young man a little.
Then he looked behind Erin, and Yelena took a step forward and said, "Master." Here we go. ”
Leon nodded to her, his gaze turned to the ten mountain warriors that Yelena had brought with him, several of whom were still impressed by their appearances, and he remembered that they had stood out in the battle at the foot of the Sage's Peak.
It seems that Yelena and Menshak are quite dedicated to this operation.
Then there are the two elven rangers - Dan and Adil, and the elven girls Thor and Luna.
"You're here too," Leon said with a smile at Luna.
"Yes......" The little girl looked nervous as she clutched a very rough wooden staff in her hand. But she still mustered up the courage and said, "I've become a junior druid, so the elder asked me to come and train together!"
“...... Singhal, an old man, must have felt that the elves like Dan and Ser were able to improve quickly when they followed me, so Luna couldn't wait to shove her over once she became a junior druid. It doesn't matter if it's dangerous or not!"
Thinking about it, Leon's expression was always gentle, "Really? Singal is right, you do have extraordinary potential. I'm looking forward to your future table xiàn. ”
Luna was a little excited. Her little face also began to flush slightly, and she nodded vigorously while giving a heavy "um".
It can be seen from her appearance that the elves have a stronger and stronger sense of identification with Leon.
After coaxing the children, the young lord asked the man standing at the end, "What about you, how have you felt at the manor these two days?"
"Collar, collar...... Pretty good!" Hilarily straightened up immediately, her affection seemed to be a little more nervous than Luna's, "Everyone is very nice to me, I'm happy!"
Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he gave the female guard a look in time. And the other party was quite clever, and he didn't say the word lord.
At the same time, young people signal others to pay attention to the issue of addresses as well. Only then did he continue: "Everyone has traveled a lot, let's rest for a while, and I have found some people here as escorts, and I will set off together after their people are together." ”
The three of Cheney moved quickly, and not long after Leon finished speaking, they appeared at the door of the tavern, but when they saw the new "guard" next to their employer, an unexpected incident happened.
Cheney was the first to push the door open, and the noise made the people in the tavern look back, and many of the mountain people were already pressing their hands on their weapons.
"They're your guards, aren't they?"
Cheney immediately stopped, smiled at the dark-skinned men, and said to Leon.
However, when he saw Hilarily, his expression was stunned, and then he tried to ask, "...... You're Hillarie?"
"Yes, it's me," Hilarily asked, confused, not expecting anyone to know him here, "...... Are you?"
"I'm Cheney, we've worked together before, do you remember?"
“...... Cheney," Hilarily was visibly impressed by the name, and after a moment, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Yes, we've met! I'm sorry I didn't think of it." ”
"You know?" asked Leon when he didn't expect this to happen.
Hilariel immediately explained: "Yes, my lord, two years ago I received a mission in the Wings of Freedom to escort my employer to the Guò Bronze Helmet Mountains, and Mr. Cheney happened to take on this task at that time, so I traveled all the way for more than ten days, but I haven't seen him for a long time. ”
Cheney saw an "acquaintance" among Leon's guards, and seemed slightly excited, saying, "I didn't accept the commission for a while, and then it wasn't long before I received an invitation from a friend to come here......"
After Cheney arrived in Brown Bear Town, after a period of hunting, he found that although this business was very hard and the danger was much higher, the harvest was much more than before, so when his friend unfortunately died in a hunt, he took over his connections and channels, and stayed in Brown Bear Town to become a complete "free" mercenary.
"Then your current commission is for ...... This grown-up offers protection?" Cheney didn't have time to ask Leon's name, so he continued to use Hilarily's name for Leon.
"Yes," Hilariel replied unusually succinctly.
Cheney turned his head to Leon and said, "Your vision is really good, Hilarily was a new star of Freedom Wings at that time, not only was the employer of every mission quite satisfied with her, but the overall evaluation of the mission was also very high, this time it will definitely be much safer to have her with you." ”
Although the old man wanted to learn about Leon's identity from Hilarily, of course he knew that now was not a good time, so he took advantage of the situation to praise Hilarily, hoping to get closer to each other and lay the foundation for an idea in the future.
A flush appeared on the guardess's face, and it grew deeper and deeper as Cheney's words grew. In fact, Hilarily used to be quite proud of her own strength and fame, but when she saw the strength of Leon and his companions, this complacency disappeared in an instant, knowing that because her vision was too narrow before, she underestimated other peers.
She peeked at Li Ang several times, and tried to interrupt the old man's words several times, but she felt that the traces of doing so were too heavy, and it would make others doubt whether she was not worthy of her name, and she was quite entangled for a while.
Leon didn't think anything, Cheney's words just let him know about Hillarie's past, although there may be some untruths, but the young man believes that the old man will not exaggerate in front of him.
"I feel the same way," he said with a smile, "and with you here, I'm sure this trip will be quite safe." ”
"Then let's get ready to go, and you can take this opportunity to catch up on the way," Leon said with a wink at a red-faced Hilari. (To be continued......)
