Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Viscount Arrives
It was late at night, and the knock on the door seemed unusually empty, but Leon didn't mean to get up, he needed to confirm whether the mysterious man had really left.
The people outside seemed to be in a hurry, and a voice came in, "Use some strength!"
The sound was filtered through the door panel, and it was already a little muffled in Leon's ears.
Then there was a rapid and heavy knocking sound, and if it was allowed to develop, soon the people upstairs and downstairs would be noisy.
Leon frowned, strode over and pulled the door open, he had confirmed that there was no danger around, but wanted to see who such an impolite person was.
At the door was a man with a meaty face, but he was obviously dressed as a subordinate, and when he saw the door suddenly open, a young man stood in front of him with an angry face, and hurriedly shouted: "Young master, someone has come out!"
Li Ang's gaze lifted and fell on the other people who had already sensed it not far away, and said coldly, "Who are you?"
An unusually flirtatious voice sounded: "Yo, you kid is really Leon of the Redfield family, you are not dead, it really surprises me......"
"Who is he, will he know me?" Li Ang's heart tightened, and then his whole body began to be on guard, and the battlefield map could not fully reflect the clear face of the person in the dark, so he couldn't confirm it for a while.
"Ho-ho, don't be nervous, Leon, can't you hear me?"
The man came out of the shadows, and the first thing that caught Leon was a young, frivolous face, and then a luxurious dress.
There were two other people beside him, one of them was a bald man, shirtless, as if showing off his muscles, and the other was a long-haired man, partially covered by his hair that had fallen off half of his face.
"The three of them are very well matched...... Leon thought secretly, but he was more focused on searching his mind for memories of them.
Soon, a name came to mind.
Baron Lev Teuton, the third son of the Marquis of Teuton, a field nobleman in the Kingdom of Sver, met his predecessor at several balls among the nobles.
But these meetings were not very pleasant, the Teutonic family was a veteran aristocracy for more than a hundred years, so they had always looked down on "nouveau riche" like Redfield, who had made their fortunes in war, and had obtained the title of earl and fiefdom in ten or twenty years, and this view also affected their descendants.
With a character like Lev, how could he not bear to be ridiculed, and Li Ang's predecessor was also a small nobleman who was not afraid of character, and there was a fight between the two.
Fortunately, the Teutonic Territory and the Redfield Territory are one north and one south, and the two have few opportunities to meet, and the constraints of the two families have not continued to cause chaos.
But how did he end up here this time, and how did he find his traces?
"Why don't you invite us in for a seat, I heard you've caused a lot of trouble lately...... Besides, I'm a real viscount now," Lev tried to maintain a very calm appearance, but it didn't seem to be very successful.
Leon's original intention of staying away from the Kingdom of Svir was to create the illusion of death first, to avoid a crisis that he could not fight with his ability at that time, but he did not expect to meet someone from the kingdom in the chaotic capital nearly thousands of miles away, and he was also an "acquaintance".
He was unexpectedly calm at this time, and even he was a little surprised that he could maintain such a calm mind in the face of a sudden situation, perhaps it was the experience of this period of time after the crossing that honed his character, and he was no longer the ordinary and ordinary Sun Tao before.
"Why not?" Leon smiled slightly, made a gesture to invite in, and then took the lead back to the small building.
Since it has been discovered by the people of the kingdom, it is safe to come and go, anyway, the chaotic capital is not a place where a "sharp blade" can make trouble with the wind and rain, and he no longer has almost any ability to protect himself like before.
What's more, maybe you can get some of the current shape of the kingdom from the mouth of this nobleman, Li Ang is very concerned about the current situation of his territory, according to the aristocratic tradition common in the mainland, a family that has been named a field nobleman, unless there is treason and other strict behavior, will be deprived of the territory and title, in addition to this, only when no one in the family can inherit the title, it is possible to be given another title to other nobles.
Leon certainly didn't want that to happen.
He suddenly became so free, but Lev muttered, he looked at the two guards on the left and right, and suddenly had the courage again, and strode behind Leon to the hall.
"Sit down," Leon moved his chair slightly, making way for the other party.
"Look, such a dilapidated house, you didn't want to stay in this kind of place before, it seems that changes in circumstances can indeed change a person's habits," Lev looked around, and suddenly said as if he remembered something: "And I heard that you have a mercenary group? There are a few beautiful girls in it......?
After Lev finished speaking, he smiled obscenely, and continued: "How about it, lack of money, don't look at me like that, although you and I have some grudges, but that was a long time ago, now that you are down, we will write off that little thing, and you can find me if you need money in the future." ”
Lev felt that what he said was already in place, if it wasn't for something in his heart, he wouldn't be so easy to speak, and he was afraid that he would taunt Leon fiercely to be comfortable.
"I've changed a little, but you're the same as before," Leon laughed.
The meaning of this sentence made Lev's face stiffen, but he quickly recovered, and said with a dry laugh: "Haha, since you have fled to the chaotic capital, I can tell you one thing, the sharp blade, one of the twelve forces here, was made by several big nobles in our kingdom, and my father is one of them, by the way, I am now the captain of the sharp blade, I don't know who has changed more between the two of us." ”
"The Marquis of Teutoni has made a lot of effort, right? I don't know how much benefit I have to give to others in order to get you a position as a 'squad leader,'" Leon's face remained unchanged.
"You!" Lev almost stood up, this kid who exposes the bottom is simply disgusting!
"The process doesn't matter, the result is the most important thing," the man behind Lev who covered his face with half of his hair couldn't stand it, and interjected in time to relieve his master.
"Again, the result is the most important thing," Leon pronounced the word "result" very seriously, "I'm afraid the result that the Marquis of Teutonic asked you for was not just a squad leader, was it?"
When it came to the Marquis's request to Lev, the man immediately shut up and stopped speaking, and the party clenched his teeth tightly, and couldn't think of anything to deal with for a while.
His father's requirements for him were indeed very high, and he enjoyed himself in the country for more than ten years, and Lev's ignorance had reached the ears of the king, and the Marquis of Teutoni was very annoyed, for fear that such an impression would be fixed in the king's mind, which would hinder his future family development plans.
The eldest son of the Teutonic Count is the heir of the internal design, and the second son is already serving in the army, the count thought about it for a long time, and finally sent him to the capital of chaos, because he considered that he had a lot of say in the organization of the blade, and the head was a fourth-order professional, and safety was not a problem, so that mixing for a while could also add a qualification to Lev's future development.
However, the earl's requirement for him was to be promoted to the rank of squadron leader at least, and he was specially cared for and could not give him preferential treatment, which made Lev, who had always been pampered, very distressed.
Fortunately, the chaotic capital was not as terrifying as he imagined, and there were more bright and bright places, and the sharp blade rarely restrained him in the face of the Count, and the Countess stuffed a lot of money before he left, so he lived more comfortably than in the territory, and gradually almost forgot the purpose of his visit.
But Leon's words pierced him like a needle, waking him up from his self-paralysis.
So Lev's hatred for Leon was even stronger, but the purpose of his coming here was actually to seek a turnaround for himself.
In fact, almost all the power organizations were present at the "gathering" of the bigwigs in the lower city today, but some of them were hidden in the shadows, and Li Ang couldn't see them at all. This includes a high-ranking member of the Blade, and it just so happens that this person had seen Leon in the Redfield family a long time ago, and he still had a slight impression of him, but now Leon's appearance has changed slightly, and he can't confirm it for a while, so he submitted this discovery as soon as he returned to the headquarters.
If it weren't for Lev overhearing this discovery, he wouldn't have appeared here, just half of what he heard, the meritorious Viscount Lev came with an escort without greeting anyone, if it was really Leon, maybe he could rely on the "old story" to directly get out important information, so it was not impossible to be promoted to squadron leader.
So Lev decided that he had to hold back, at least pretend.
"Hehe, you are not qualified to take care of my affairs, but I can take care of your affairs. ”
Lev squeezed a smile out, "I heard that you discovered the undead troops, and now I ask you as the Viscount of the Kingdom, the leader of the Blade Squad and the deputy intelligence officer, to tell me all the qiē." ”
"If anyone in the Council of the City of Chaos has promised or revealed any information to you, tell it as it is. ”
After saying this, Lev looked at Leon with a provocative gaze.
"Why do you want to sue you?" Leon looked surprised, as if he didn't understand.
"This guy must be pretending!" Lev stood up and said angrily: "Listen! This matter may change the power structure of the chaotic capital, and it will also involve the interests of the blade in it, as a member of the Svir Kingdom, I have the right to demand anything from you at such a critical time! And you must obey my orders!"
Lev finally pointed with his hand, "No thief will be considered treason!"
In fact, there is not much problem with what Lev said earlier, and this matter is indeed very likely to change the embarrassing status quo of the blade's current inadequacy.
But his only problem was that he had told this to a "special" person, and Leon was no longer the person he knew, so not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but it was counterproductive.
"Yo ......" The traverser was not frightened by the so-called treason at all, but applauded, "I actually finished it in one breath, it took you a lot of time to prepare for this sentence, right?
"But you've mistaken your identity!" Leon's tone changed suddenly, "A captain with a small blade, a 'deputy' intelligence officer who doesn't know what's going on, wants to take out such important information from my mouth privately, you are so bold, your family ...... No, do the higher-ups of the Blades know?"
