Chapter 221: Suspicion
(Thank you for the tip who likes mini, thank you for the collection and recommended brother)
"Leon, when are we leaving?" asked Caterina as she walked over. She had just heard Dick's words from beginning to end, and with her understanding, even if this trip was full of unknown dangers, Leon was definitely going to go.
"Katarina, you know me well now," Leon said with a smile, "and leave early tomorrow morning." ”
"Seeing that person is in a hurry, and it's been a few days, aren't we going to leave right away?"
"He's in a hurry, in fact, I'm in a hurry, but I can't be in a hurry about the whole thing," Leon shook his head, "There are too few people who can ride horses, and this trip can only use a carriage." However, we have just made it all the way back, and the two horses need to rest even if they are in good shape, and if they are forced to set off, it is estimated that they will soon be unable to hold on, and the rest of the road will be even slower, as for the other horses...... They haven't pulled the car at all, and they're going to be much slower. ”
"So even if you delay the night and let the horses and people rest well, you can catch up on the time after you hit the road. And, in Dick's words, the underground caverns are quite dangerous, and I have to think carefully about which people I need to take with me on this trip. ”
"I'm definitely going to go," Caterina said.
"Of course," Leon smiled, "my knight lady is so capable, who will protect you if you don't go with you?"
Miss Knight, who was blushing at what she said, immediately left under the pretext of wanting to rest early, and Leon looked at her back, and the relaxed expression she had been maintaining gradually became solemn.
"The Flame Souls, which included two third-order and four second-order peaks, could barely sustain it...... What kind of ruins are there, and why are there so many undead creatures?" he took a breath, "This trip is very dangerous, and I guess I will have to trouble the Mentor." ”
After just two battles, he encountered the request for help from the Red Mercenary Group, and the young lord almost had a feeling of being overwhelmed, but this is also equivalent to a kind of training for himself, isn't it? Thinking of this, Leon gradually relaxed a little, he looked up at the sky, stood up and said, "Erin, aren't you going to rest?"
The carriage that had been parked outside had been pulled away by the people in the manor, and everyone else had gone to rest, only Erin remained nearby.
"Well, not tired yet," said the brunette girl, "have you really decided to go?"
"Yes," Leon nodded, "Red is my friend, I'm sure I'll go if something happens to him." ”
For the young lord, these companions around him are like family, and although Red has only gotten along a few times, he is second only to his family when he sees each other. Now that I know that he is in danger, I have to go anyway, even if I can't catch up, I have to do my best.
"What about the territory?" the mage girl was clearly thinking more than Katerina.
"The response from our previous tour of the south has been very good, and we have wiped out a wave of intruders, and the residents of Brown Bear Town have also received the manor, I believe that there should be no major fluctuations in the short term, but for the sake of safety, I am going to inform the deputy commander of Markburg Luthor on the way when I leave, and ask him to help me pay more attention to the border during this time. ”
"And the time to leave...... I estimate that it will take about ten days at least, and there is no problem with the construction of the manor delaying for a few days, and I am relieved that the rest of the transactional work will be handed over to Jeff. ”
"Hmm...... It's very comprehensive, well, I'm going too. ”
"You must have heard Dick's words too, don't you think it's dangerous?" asked Leon. Of course, he wanted to bring this female mage with a terrifying long-range attack, but this trip was very dangerous, and the other party was the junior of Speaker Christel, so even if Erin offered to go with him, he had to fulfill his obligation to warn.
"As far as I know, a lot of people trust you very much......" The corners of Erin's mouth turned up, and there was a hint of a smile in her eyes, "They all said that as long as you are there, you don't have to worry about anything, and I want to follow suit, so I will use this as a verification." ”
"Whatever you want," Leon felt that he couldn't hear whether the other party's words were positive or derogatory, so he simply threw down a few words and walked towards Kaka's temporary workshop.
Erin followed him unhurriedly, seemingly going in the same direction.
Suddenly, Leon found that the upper body of the girl behind him leaned over from the map feedback, and then Erin's low words came from his ear, "Don't you think there is something wrong with what that person said?"
Li Ang was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around, and was about to speak, but found that the girl in front of him should not have expected him to stop suddenly, so his body collided directly.
"Ahh
Leon felt itchy, but not in his heart, although there was still a clear soft touch in his arms and the unique indifferent aroma of Erin's body, but he was indeed not itchy in his heart, but the itching caused by the soft hair on the other party's shoulders scattered on his face when he rushed over.
Leon couldn't help but reach out to scratch it, but this look looked a little silly in the eyes of the somewhat embarrassed mage girl, or a little cute? Anyway, Erin's embarrassing feeling had disappeared, and she covered her mouth again and chuckled.
"Ahem...... Tell me, what's the problem?" Leon quickly changed the subject, otherwise this slightly ** appearance would definitely not have anything good to say in the eyes of Jeff or Eric.
Erin straightened up her somewhat messy hair before continuing to whisper, "I don't know the specifics, but I just have this feeling." ”
Leon motioned for the other party to stop talking, then sensed that there was no one around, and took Erin back to his house.
After gently closing the door, Li Ang said, "Now describe what makes you feel inappropriate, and I'll listen." ”
Erin's gaze looked past Leon at the empty room, and suddenly she was somehow nervous, so she didn't go inside, and stood by the door to explain her feelings to Leon.
As a mage, Erin is interested in places like the Ancient Ruins, as they often contain esoteric knowledge left over from the previous era, which is very helpful for her abilities. Of course, except for some places on the continent that few people have set foot in, there are fewer and fewer undiscovered ruins, and a girl like her has never even entered a ruin, and can only obtain relevant knowledge through various classics.
Erin is very smart, and after reading a thick book a few times, she can't say that she can memorize most of it, but she can also memorize most of them, so she can be regarded as the most knowledgeable of these people now.
According to her, a considerable number of ruins will gradually produce an indescribable magic over time, this magic can stimulate the potential of living beings, such as animals, plants and even the corpses of the dead will gain wisdom and become powerful, so there will always be dangerous creatures in the ruins. However, such creatures will not leave the range of the ruins, as this would make them feel weak and unsafe, as it is unlikely that a large number of necromantic creatures like Dick described will be able to chase and intercept the mercenary group in the cave, unless the entire cavern is shrouded in the magic of the ruins.
On the other hand, there were two other mercenary groups and a so-called patrol inspector who entered the ruins at the same time, and it was said that the first thing Dick should do after coming out should be to look for their traces at the other entrance, but he didn't say a word about it, as if he suddenly thought of coming to Leon for help.
Erin finally suspected that there were too many coincidences in his experience, why he was lucky enough to find the exit, and the exit collapsed just after reaching the ground, and most importantly, in that situation, if he found the exit, the first thing he should have done was to immediately turn back to find Red and the others, and then leave with them, and not patronize himself to come out first.
Li Ang was silent for a while, he hadn't taken into account the doubts that Erin said before, although each one sounded a little reluctant, but when put together, it really seemed strange.
"Hmm......" Leon put his arms on his chest, touched the stubble on his chin with one hand, pondered it repeatedly, and said: "Dick is indeed a member of Red's team, if your suspicions are true, what is his purpose, and whether Red is in danger or not, this qiē has become very uncertain." ”
"It's probably true that Red is in distress, and maybe I'm just overly sensitive," Erin said, "but there's still two days to go, and we can ask slowly, if a person makes up a lie, there will always be a loophole." ”
