Chapter 199: Lord's Meeting

The deputy commander refused Li Ang's invitation to leave him and the cavalry for dinner, and only asked Li Ang if he wanted the cavalry to accompany him when he patrolled the border this time, after all, this was to deal with border affairs, and he didn't have to worry about being accused of interfering in the internal affairs of the territory.

Leon shook his head, but he also told Luthor that if something unforeseen happened, he would send someone to Fort Mark for support.

Luthor admired the young man's attitude, he couldn't grow up quickly without training himself, but he warned Leon in vague words, the commander of Edburgh had some prejudices against the old earl, so Leon tried not to come into contact with them when he was not on his feet.

Leon did not know anything about the situation, but wisely asked not why he was prejudiced, but asked another question, which made Luthor's heart heavy.

"It is said that the remains of my family have been sent to the royal capital?"

Ever since Leon arrived at the manor, he had been asking the others this question - he had not found his family's graves far away, much to the confusion of young men who wanted to pay their respects.

Hank sued him for being from the royal capital and used a luxurious carriage to transport the body away, but they couldn't stop it, so Leon began to wonder if it had been transported somewhere in the royal capital. However, he could not find a more well-informed person to inquire about this matter for the time being, until he met with Luthor today.

Luthor nodded gloomily and said, "That's true, because everyone thinks that the Redfield family is no longer there, and this territory will be vacated sooner or later, so someone built a military cemetery near the royal capital to bury them."

"I see," said Leon...... "Is it already buried?"

If he hadn't been buried, Leon wanted to get his body back and bury it on the side of the manor, but he knew that his hope was a little slim, after all, so much time had passed.

Luther glanced at the young lord's expression, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Not yet, because your grandfather wants to transfer the body to his domain for burial." ”

This surprised Leon, who really didn't have much of the impression of his grandfather in his mind, only remembered that the chubby old man's name was Winster, a baron, and he had his own small territory in the far north. However, that realm was a vassal of a marquis, about the size of two Redfield estates.

"Is it because of my mother?"

"Yes, he said that he wanted his daughter's family to be by his side, so the Marquis of Tongguòmending conveyed this request to the royal capital. ”

Li Ang nodded silently, it seems that he will go there if he has time in the future, although it is another soul in this body, but the meaning to the old man is the same. Moreover, the people in my grandfather's family were not very prosperous in the first place, and they suffered such a blow as the loss of their daughter in their later years, and their mental state during this period of time will definitely not be good.

"That's right," Leon thought about it for a moment, and said, "If you can, ask Uncle Luthor to help me deliver a message to the royal capital, since I have returned, the remains of my family should still be buried in the territory." ”

"As for my maternal grandfather...... I can invite him to live in the territory, so that I can also take care of the wishes of the old man. ”

Luthor was relieved that Leon was now thinking like an adult, mature and steady.

"You can rest assured that according to the laws of the Kingdom, as long as you live, their bodies cannot be buried elsewhere at will. ”

The conversation was coming to an end at this point, and the atmosphere between the two people gradually changed from-for-tat to harmonious, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

The cavalry were the first to show a relieved expression, although they would never hesitate to make any decision made by the commander, but if they could not have a dispute with the lord, of course, they would not be able to ask for it.

Ten minutes later, the deputy commander led the cavalry away, and Leon stood at the end of the avenue to see them off.

"I'm a good person, I knew that I wouldn't be too irritating to this uncle......"

With so many promises from the other party, the young lord who was the party concerned would of course feel guilty, but he thought again, "Could this be the legendary cheap and obedient?"

Whether it was or not, the young lord's mood became good again, he looked up at the sky, although he was delayed by this episode, but it was still early, so he still decided to leave immediately.

For the next three days, the carriage, representing Lord Campbell, headed south to Locke, and the next morning headed east, stopping overnight in Brownland and Anse.

Most of the inhabitants of Locke Town already knew Leon, and the young lord had generously bought the tavern and a few meats, as well as the bakery's stock, and offered them free of charge to the people gathered in the square.

That night was almost the town's holiday, and Leon was surrounded by a welcoming crowd that gave them a sense of security and contentment, regardless of Leon's previous reputation, as long as he was in Redfield blood, as long as he was Lord of Campbell.

What's more, this young man had fought to the death against the mob from outside for Locke Town!

And Leon's generosity and easy-going also made the townsfolk happy, and after spending most of the night together, they had less respect for the young lord and more affection.

Leon took the time to talk to Grace, the captain of the garrison, about recruiting some young people to form a militia group, Grace didn't drink, so he clearly understood that the young lord was starting to form his own private army, which was a necessary process for any lord, so he kindly proposed a few suggestions.

Grace has been in the garrison team for more than ten years from a soldier to now being promoted to squad leader, and has been stationed in several villages and towns, and there are many things to learn from this experience, especially when combined with Sheriff Carey's Jiany, which has benefited Leon a lot.

When he set off the next day, although it was lively in the middle of the night, many townspeople still got up early and sent the young lord far away, and Li Ang was very emotional. Most of the people were simple peasants, and their ideas were simple - if you were good to me, I would be good to you, and they would keep your good in mind for a long time.

The last two days were in Brownland and Ansai, and although the people of these two places had less ties than the towns of Locke that had fought, it was surprising that both sheriffs knew Leon, so it took a lot of effort to talk a lot.

The night was also lively, although the Cheng dù was different, but according to Caterina and Erin, the relationship between the people of Campbell and the lord was many times closer than that of other territories.

The four elves were a little surprised by this situation, the elves living in the big forest belonged to the tribal system, the big tribe was equivalent to a small independent territory of human beings, and the range that the small tribe could control was almost half the size of Campbell, for them, there was a natural barrier between the patriarch, elders and other high-level figures and these ordinary elves, and they didn't even see each other a few times, not to mention the relationship on weekdays.

How had they ever seen a human lord like them get so close to the lord of Leon? and looking at Leon's appearance, he didn't pretend to do it on purpose, but enjoyed the atmosphere very much.

This discovery surprised them and made them a little curious, and they were more interested in Leon, and they didn't know if it was influenced by the townspeople, and the attitude of these elves towards Leon also changed, and gradually began to talk more.

Coupled with the "outlier" of the priest girl, the members of the entire carriage seemed to become a whole, and the elves integrated into it little by little.

Once, a ranger named "Dan" was overheard by Leon passing by when he spoke to other elves.

It seems that the elders' insistence is right, and that human beings are not all as evil as they imagine, and that they are like us, there are good people and bad people. ”

Leon smiled silently at this, and then immediately walked away, he didn't want to be mistaken for eavesdropping on the other party's conversation, but since they already had similar thoughts, it meant that something had changed.

After passing through three villages and towns, and now far away from Ansai Town, Leon found that there was a situation that was slightly different from what he had expected - they had not encountered a single foreign enemy, and the journey was strangely calm, and it could even be said that this time the patrol operation had become a simple meeting of lords.

He had asked the captains of the guards in several towns, and those who had their own sources of information had said that they had not found the enemy's whereabouts for several days, and Leon was a little puzzled.

Could it be that this wave of invasions is over, and the mob and natives of the Pale Mountains are no longer on Campbell's radar? He had seen the barbarism and madness of these people, and it would certainly not be in their character to say that they had only been wiped out by the border guards and then died down after a few scattered waves.

Leon sat on a piece of crossbar at the front of the carriage, and as he steered his horses skilfully, wondering whether the actions of the men were scattered spontaneous or organized and targeted, he saw a lone figure in the direction of his travel, staggering towards him.
