Chapter 180: Return to the Heart

The central square fell into complete silence, not only did not any of the townspeople whisper anymore, but even the gaze in their eyes changed.

Their excitement just now was due to a mentality that they finally had something to rely on, for them an orthodox lord was of course much stronger than those nobles, both psychologically and in other ways acceptable.

But this is just pure excitement, because after all, I don't know what this young lord will bring to the future Campbell, or to Locke Town.

However, after confirmation from the boy and the tavernkeeper, they learned that the young lord had appeared in Locke Town for two months, and had fought against foreign enemies to protect the town. For the sake of a border town in the territory, they actually went into battle to fight the enemy in person, they knew that the battle was very fierce, although they won but the two mercenary groups were completely wiped out, then the lord was also very dangerous at that time?

Sheriff Carey also thought of this, and immediately asked, "My lord, why were you in Locke Town at that time......?" Are you alright?"

As soon as the words came out, Carey found himself a little excited, the lord was standing in front of him intact now, how could there be anything?

"You should know what happened at the castle," Leon's tone became a little heavy, "I escaped and happened to be passing through Locketown. ”

"I was seriously injured in the accident that time, but fortunately I was rescued by two people, Caterina and Sophia, who were passing by," Leon said, gesturing to the knight girl who was standing far away, "and then I found that Locke Town was under the threat of the mob, how could the descendants of the lord stand by in the face of the crisis of the lords!"

"Unfortunately, my strength was not good at that time, and my grandfather and the knights were also killed in the accident, so I had to join the battle alone, but fortunately I survived with the help of Caterina and Sophia. ”

"But......" his eyes revealed regret and self-reproach, "although they saved the town, they couldn't let Captain Poma and them survive." ”

"But!" Leon looked up, "It's different now, I have the ability to protect you and not let the last tragedy happen again!"

The townspeople erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and there was more trust and recognition in their eyes, although Leon was young, the identity of this lord had already taken root in the hearts of the people of Locke Town.

On the other side of the square, Jeff and Eric were standing next to each other, both of them muttering quietly.

"Adults' acting skills are maturing day by day......" Jeff couldn't help but admire as he looked at the crowd cheering for Leon.

"That's how it should be," Eric was pleased, "as a lord to win the hearts of the lords, it is understandable to use some means, and what the lord said is the truth. ”

"But he didn't expect to know Miss Caterina and Miss Sophia before, and to participate in such a battle together," Eric said, holding his chin thoughtfully.

"That's why he and Caterina are so close now," Jeff immediately followed the gangster leader to change the original topic, "You don't know, the original Miss Knight is very tough and very vicious, but after the two of them became close, even their personalities have changed......"

"Are they intimate now?" Eric looked sideways at Katarina, who was not too far away from them, a little confused, "I haven't seen them spend time alone a few times, and they don't usually talk much. ”

"You don't know this, sincere love doesn't need to be tired of being together every day, just look at each other ......"

At this time, the gangster leader who had just turned around suddenly let out a cough.

"As long as you look at each other, you should be able to understand Lord Leon's intentions, so the two of us will have to work hard in the future!"

Caterina walked past them and glared at Jeff coldly.

"Whew......" After a while, confirming that the knight girl had gone to the other side, Jeff exhaled a cold breath, "Fortunately, I changed the topic in time!"

"Nonsense......" Eric glared at Jeff as well, "It's not just time for me to remind you." ”

"Yes, yes," Jeff thanked immediately, but he said again, "Shall we take a gamble and see when Katarina's identity will become the Lord's Lady?"

"No," Eric slowly spat out a word.

"Huh?" Jeff looked at the former gangster with suspicion, "don't tell me that I've never gambled in Downtown for so many years. ”

"That's not ......" Eric glanced at Jeff and said, "There is no suspense about what you said, and there is no point in betting, it is better to bet on who will be next among the three people, Miss Sophia, Miss Melissa and Miss Irene." ”

"Whoa......," Jeff exclaimed, "how dare you think of it?"

"Why not?" said Eric indifferently, "Do you want to bet?"

“...... Why not?"

The two of them were chatting happily, but they didn't expect that a young girl was squatting in the shadow of a bush of trees behind them, her thin body and certain skills made it almost impossible for them to spot. The two daggers in the girl's hands flipped back and forth, but there was a little confusion in her eyes.

"Next?" Melissa thought silently, "will it be...... Who?"

......

Regardless of these two boring and obscene middle-aged men, Li Ang on the other side finally calmed down the excited feelings of the townspeople at this time.

He had wanted to let them all disperse, but now he had to give up on the idea, and he turned back to Guard Captain Grace and asked, "Have any foreign enemies invaded Locke Town recently?"

"There have been a few incidents, but fortunately the cavalry brigade at Fort Mark's has paid special attention to us, and most of the mob has been stopped halfway, and the remaining one or two are not many in number, and I have led people to drive them away. ”

"It's worrying......," Li Ang said in his heart, "These mobs are already so arrogant? What kind of calculations are they having, or are there some secret instructions behind them?"

It seems that it is necessary to deal with the matter at hand and turn your attention to the border as soon as possible, otherwise this situation will gradually become more frequent and cause panic among the people.

"I've worked hard for you these days, I'll go to the manor first, and after solving the troubles, I'll deal with the affairs on this side of the border. ”

Grace nodded immediately, he was indeed very nervous these days, on the one hand, he had to watch out for foreign enemies, and on the other hand, he had to worry about things in the territory. Although the garrison is not related to the things in the territory, Campbell is a border territory, and the lord has the obligation to maintain border security and has the right to mobilize the garrison, so Campbell's form is closely related to him.

"My lord, if you go to the manor...... Grace stopped talking, he wanted to persuade Leon to settle this matter more gently, Viscount Andre has a deep background. Although the Minister of the Interior behind him also does not have any right to interfere with the nobles of the territory, but he has a lot of real power in his hands, and for a relatively barren place like Campbell, it is very important to obtain material support from the royal capital, especially in the current chaotic situation, if you really offend and casually ignore your request for assistance, or drag it out for half a year and a year, it is really difficult to say.

But the young man on the other side is a lord after all, and he is just a small guard team leader, so what qualifications does he have to say these words?

Leon saw through his thoughts and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know what to do." ”

"Sister's ...... Isn't it just a Minister of the Interior?" Li Ang sneered in his heart, "I haven't seen how many materials Wang Du has supported before, and even if the materials sent over are given for nothing, they are not still paid, but they are cheaper than the market price." ”

"Lao Tzu has other channels now, maybe the price is cheaper than yours, so ...... What about the Home Secretary?"

This channel of course refers to the Vice President of the City of Chaos, the President of the Skyrim Chamber of Commerce, the Venerable Comrade Edward.

Before Leon left the City of Chaos, he had reached an agreement with Edward that he could buy any supplies directly from Edward if necessary, and Edward would give him a preferential price, but Leon must also admit that only the Skyrim Chamber of Commerce had the exclusive supply qualifications.

And they agreed that if Leon was in great need, the Skyrim Chamber of Commerce would also set up a chapter in Campbell, in Edward's words - "to serve Leon better".

Li Ang knew that this was Edward's desire to extend the tentacles of the Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't have too much bad feeling about it, as long as it was properly managed, there was nothing wrong with it.

Multiple operations, healthy competition.

The captain of the garrison saw that Li Ang looked conclusive, breathed a sigh of relief, and also put his heart back in his stomach, if it could be resolved peacefully, of course, it would be the best.

"I will report your return to the garrison immediately, and there should be someone from above who will visit you soon. ”

This is for sure, as a border territory, after the change of lord, the garrison will have corresponding big people come to visit, exchange feelings and exchange some views on border affairs.

Leon expressed his understanding, and at the same time, the sheriff on the side, Carrie, said to the townspeople who did not want to leave, "Everyone disperse, Lord Lord, I have to rush back to the manor now, and I will talk about anything when I get back." ”

"My lord, drive them out!" shouted a number of people.

Leon smiled silently, waved at them, and turned back to the carriage.

He came to the last flatbed truck first, and said to Kubi with a smile on his face: "You take them to stay in Rock Town, take care of your injuries first, and then work hard here, I will pay attention to you." ”

Kubi immediately said yes loudly, and then grovelled as Leon turned to leave.

Li Ang knew that this man's loud response just now was actually to attract the attention of the townspeople, so that others would think that he was his subordinate, but Li Ang did not pierce the other party's mind, as long as he could change, it didn't matter if he borrowed it a little, but for the sake of safety, he finally warned the other party a little.

"Get on your chariots and go, and get on your horses and follow you. ”

With this order, the people immediately returned to their carriages and boarded in turn, and soon the re-enlarged convoy began to move forward, aiming for Redfield Manor in the north-east.
