Chapter 149: Leave
This night, Li Ang slept a little unsteadily, and when he thought that he was going to embark on the road back to his hometown the next day, he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, which included excitement and anxiety.
He didn't know what Campbell's situation was like now, he didn't know the identity of the mysterious enemy, and he wasn't sure if they would still care about him, the only bloodline of the Redfield family.
However, he was no longer alone now, and he had gathered some followers around him, although many of them were young people, but the alchemy master was a cunzi that could be comparable to a fourth-order professional, which made him feel a little relieved.
When he had previously told his mentor about his concerns, Kaka thought for a moment and touched his chin to reassure Leon, because he had already applied a new technique to his alchemy through Guò's research on the wreckage, and the results should be good.
Kaka's increase in ability is only one aspect, and on the other hand, Tong Guò's observation of his apprentices during this period of time, the alchemy master feels that Leon can already take charge on his own, and even if he encounters any trouble, he will have his own set of solutions.
The teacher's words increased Li Ang's confidence, and he himself knew that it was impossible to keep practicing outside like this, even if it was above the fourth or even fifth order, and then he would return to his homeland after all the preparations were all right, maybe it would be a few years or even more than ten years later, what was the point of going back to the world?
Come to think of it, now is the right time.
After almost sleepless nights, speculating on all the possible events on the way home, Li Ang felt a little more at ease, and then he suddenly sat up from the bed, walked to the window and looked out.
At this time, the pale white morning light had come in through the window, and it was clear that a tall and thin man was standing in the courtyard outside, standing outside the door of the small building and hesitating.
The sound of the window pushing the window alarmed him, and the assassin looked up to see Leon, who was stunned for a moment, but then looked quite happy, and waved his hand repeatedly.
With Leon's permission, the Assassin made his way to the window on the second floor.
"Are you a mercenary of the Flame Soul?" asked Leon first.
"You have a good memory, Captain Leon," the assassin smiled.
"What's wrong with Red?"
"Yes, you should know that we are going on a special mission, and there was still some time, but a sudden letter came from us in the early hours of this morning and asked us to leave immediately, so the regiment commander was in time to see you off, so let me come and talk to you. ”
"It's okay, you tell him that there will be a chance to meet him in the future. ”
"Yes, the regimental commander said the same, and he said that the direction this time is not far from your destination, and he may go directly to you after the mission is over. ”
"Of course welcome. ”
After some conversation, the assassin immediately took his leave and left, apparently to chase after his mercenary group, and Leon was not sleepy at this time, and simply walked out of the room.
When I went downstairs, I found Eric already up and sitting on a chair in the corner.
"Eric, didn't you sleep?" asked Leon in confusion.
"I lay down for a while, and I found that I couldn't sleep and simply got up. ”
Li Ang was surprised, "Isn't it a little reluctant?"
Eric touched his head and smiled, a little embarrassed, "Yes, I grew up here, and I was a little reluctant to leave at the thought of leaving." ”
But he immediately added: "But it doesn't matter, this little thing won't affect me." ”
"What's this," Li Ang said with a smile: "People have feelings, and it's normal to suddenly leave a familiar place and have some parting feelings." ”
As he was talking, suddenly Kaka came up from the basement, "Stinky boy, what are you doing running out without sleeping? Don't forget that you are the leader of these people, how can you cope with a long day trip without resting!"
"Mentor didn't sleep either?" asked Leon, "What are you busy with?"
"Nonsense!" Kaka's eyes widened, "As your mentor, I can't think about the safety of these people!"
It seems that the alchemy master was supplemented by a large number of alchemy materials, and he was refining potions overnight, Li Ang couldn't help but be a little moved, although Kaka was a little short-tempered - of course, this is often only for apprentices, but in other aspects, Kaka is experienced, experienced, and has excellent combat effectiveness, and sometimes his heart is quite fine, and his responsibility as a mentor can be said to be well-deserved.
"Captain, you really aren't worried at all about leaving them alone?" asked Eric suddenly.
Li Ang knew that the other party was asking about the elf's situation, so he patted the wooden windowsill with his hand and said, "Why worry? Even if they all run away, it won't be my money." ”
"Still, I think they're definitely still there, and no one will be missing. Li Ang said conclusively.
Seeing that the head of the regiment was so confident, Eric also relieved himself and turned the topic to today's itinerary.
Gradually, the group members walked out of the room, and by this time several large wagons had stopped at the door, and Eric led several coachmen to concentrate the large bags and small bags into one of them, and finally it was barely finished when it was full.
Li Ang looked at the other four or five dimensional bags that were already filled next to him, and then looked at the fully loaded carriage, and couldn't help but say, "Have you emptied the whole house of things?"
"Of course not!" replied Sophia, cheerfully, "all the furniture has not moved!"
The young leader was speechless and looked at Katerina, as if asking why the other party would allow Sophia to be so nonsense.
Unexpectedly, Caterina blushed and whispered: "It was my idea, I think since I don't come back, then these things are wasted......"
Li Ang was speechless again, and couldn't help but have great doubts about the knight girl's past - how poor must this be to have such a "thrifty" idea?
But looking at the other party's embarrassed expression, as well as the rare cute look under this expression, Li Ang's words turned into three words.
"Well done!"
"Well done...... It's really good......" Kaka's voice sounded from the side, "These are all belongings that I bought with great difficulty...... I didn't expect that I would be soaking in the basement every day these days, and I would be almost gone when I came home. ”
"But it's okay!" Kaka's voice suddenly became pleasant, "Since it was Katarina's idea, of course it must be counted on you, Leon, and I'll give you a specific amount when I get back." ”
"Why, why......" Li Ang was about to retort, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the knight girl who seemed to be a little nervous, so he immediately changed his words: "Why not?
But in this way, Katarina's face turned even redder.
The new mage, Erin, stood on the side of the stairs, a thick book in her hand, her eyes fixed on the people who were laughing beside Leon.
Everyone's expressions, including Kaka, were happy, and they were the kind of happiness that came from the heart and had no sense of restraint, as if as long as Leon stood there, the atmosphere would become warm and the mood would be relaxed. Not only that, but it can be seen that the relationship between these members is also very harmonious, and it is like a family.
"How did he do it at such a young age?" the black-haired girl was a little puzzled, and even more curious.
"Erin!" Leon also spotted her, waving his hand to this side and shouting, "What are you doing standing in such a dark place, come here, we are ready to go!"
In the end, the team was assigned a carriage for the four girls, Katerina, Sophia, Melissa, and Erin, one for Leon, Kaka, Eric, and Jeff, and the remaining two empty carts to pick up the elves.
Kaka was the last to walk out of the building, turned around and locked the door with an exaggerated lock, and slammed the door frame.
"Let's go!" he turned, and without looking back, he came over and jumped into the carriage.
With the rattle of the axles, the convoy slowly drove northwest of the lower town.
Shortly after the sun had risen, the bustling city of the lower town had fallen silent all night, and there were only a few hangover drunkards left in the streets, babbling and staggering as they muttered, not knowing what their purpose was.
The carriage made its way through the deserted streets, and soon reached the building on the northwest edge, and Leon jumped out of the carriage and strode towards the main entrance.
Before he could push the door, the door opened silently, and Singal stood inside, followed by well-dressed elves, all of them there, no less.
"Captain Leon, we've been waiting for you for a long time. The elven old man said.
"Are you ready?" asked Leon.
"Yes, we can go at any time. ”
"Okay, I'm satisfied," Leon smiled, "The carriage has arrived, please get on board,"
There were nineteen elves, and Leon divided them into two carts and invited Singal to board his carriage.
The groom whipped again, and this time the convoy headed for the gates.
The city guards had received instructions and raised their hands to let them go, almost symbolically, and the convoy of five wagons lined up through the city gates and left the city of chaos.
As we walked away, the tall gates of the chaotic city slowly grew short in sight, and no one spoke in the carriage, except for the repetitive, monotonous sound of horses' hooves and the turning of the axles.
Leon did not ask for a hurry, so the carriage did not move fast, maintaining a speed that was comfortable for the passengers, and the convoy slowly passed through the verdant river, officially entering the realm of chaos, and the surrounding scene became an alternating scene of thorn vines and blood cotton.
The coachman's voice came in from outside, "My lords, at this rate, there are still more than two days to get to Ash Town. ”
"Okay, don't worry," Leon said.
As these two words were spoken, the carriage immediately became more lively, and Jeff and Eric began to talk in whispers, arranging food and lodging for the day.
With the two of them present, Leon was too worry-free in this regard, while Kaka was studying with a thin book, while Singal was closing his eyes and recuperating.
"Singal, how many people can fight for me now?" asked Leon.
The elven old man opened his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Two archers, one swordsman, but if you just use bows and arrows, there are seven or eight young people who are no problem." ”
Elves have always been resistant to the outside world, so they don't like to divide occupations and ranks according to the outside world, but have their own set of systems.
However, Singal apparently did not mention the elves' own system, but instead explained Leon in the language of the outside world, which also attracted Kaka's puzzled eyes.
Li Ang was also surprised, he had always felt that with his current control over these elves, they would be able to give five or six people who could fight at most, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly cooperate so much, and he handed over eleven at once, which made him a little interested.
