Duncan shook his head, completely brushing the words that came to mind completely. Because he doesn't actually recognize the meaning of these three words, it is like an aura full of mystery, once someone is put on his head, it will erase the hard work that these people have put in behind their backs.
Like Duncan himself, he was also considered a genius in the army, but only a few people knew that he would practice swordsmanship for at least three to four hours a day and physical fitness for an hour, and during the ten years in the Northland, even in the mines, it was this perseverance that gave him extraordinary strength.
So Duncan feels that anyone's success is not without reason, and so is Leon, judging from the information revealed in this meeting, the young man's achievements in a few months are simply down-to-earth step by step, although there are inevitably some tricks and some luck elements, but after all, it is relying on his own efforts, just like Leon's amazing strength progress, which is the proof that he has experienced a lot of hard battles.
"The name Redfield is about to appear again in the kingdom's politics," Duncan thought with relief, "and Leon will never be as conformist as Lord Darren again, I'm afraid this time...... A lot of them will be surprised, right?"
The young man's voice broke Duncan's momentary distraction, and he straightened his legs again. He looked at the young man over there with a more relaxed attitude and mood.
"Erin, you can find a time to talk to the centaurs who have stayed, and ask them about the approximate time of their round trip. "I think you can reveal a little bit of what I think and see how they react."
After receiving Erin's affirmative reply, Leon estimated the time and continued, "Okay, that's all I have to say. Do you have any other suggestions?"
"Li Ang, I will build yƬ if conditions permit, in addition to equipping recruits with standard equipment. The mountain dwellers and elves also need to be armed, and a fair portion of them must be prepared as a backup," said Katerina.
"I understand, I'll solve this. Leon nodded to the girl. "Finding Edward to buy a new batch of supplies is one of the purposes of this trip to the City of Chaos, and I believe that when I return, I will be able to solve some of the needs. ā
Duncan thought about it for a moment, and also spoke: "Do you need to enter the Black Forest between Campbell and the Great Wasteland in advance to clear some wild beasts and open the way?"
"That's not necessary, there are too many beasts in the Black Forest, and they are very mobile, and there is no way to eliminate them," Leon smiled. "But I'm trying something else, I just don't know what the outcome will be." ā
"Because the key to that is an ape. ā
Seeing Duncan's puzzled expression. The young man recounted the incident of subduing the ape Lulu in the Black Forest this time, and finally said: "Maybe it is still not very adapted to the plains, so it didn't leave with us in the end, it doesn't matter, this is the natural habit of wild beasts, and I don't want to force it." ā
"But Lulu is clearly more intelligent than his kind, and has developed a strong affection for us, and since it is in the Black Forest, there must be many opportunities to meet in the future. ā
"At the same time, Melissa and I have made many attempts on the road to convey a sense of confidence...... I'll come back in a while, and if it does, the Black Forest east of Campbell should be a lot safer for us than it used to be. ā
Hearing this, Red was dumbfounded and said, "Leon...... How do you do more than I can imagine every time, and it seems like you've got a lot of pretty good things out of it every time?"
Li Ang shook his head and smiled: "Okay, you are not suitable to pretend to be like this, and the performance is too exaggerated, besides, even if you don't compliment me, I will give you a chance to go out and fight." ā
In the midst of laughter, the young man didn't give Red a chance to refute, and instead said, "Since everything that needs to be said is done, let's go and rest, and take care of our spirits for tomorrow's party!"
This impromptu meeting has lasted for nearly six hours so far, which is really the longest in Leon's life, and he did not feel bored and difficult at all, but faintly excited.
"Am I addicted?" the young man felt a chill inexplicably.
Whatever the reason, he still had a lot of things to deal with next, so he immediately drove out the unexplained thoughts that had just popped up, and said, "Duncan, you stay for a while, and besides, Master Mentor, I'll look for you in a while." ā
When there were only two people left in the council chamber, Leon began to ask Duncan about the gains of the trip to the royal capital, and Duncan also understood what the other party was most concerned about, so he directly handed over Baron Winster's handwritten letter.
When Leon unfolded the thin letter and saw lines of familiar messy fonts, the image of his grandfather gradually appeared in his mind.
It was a chubby old man, with short gray hair and a thick beard, his eyes were not big, and his nose was very round, but when he saw Leon when he was a child, his eyes immediately opened much wider than usual, and his nose arched one after another, which often made children laugh.
This old man was Baron Winster, lord of a small territory in the northern part of the kingdom, and this territory was considered a vassal of the Marquis of Mending, and the scope was less than one-fifth of Campbell's. When Leon was a child, he would occasionally travel with his parents to his grandfather's house for a while, but he never went again after he was "released" - not that he didn't want to go, but his parents almost never mentioned it, probably because they were worried that those things would involve this old man who had no quarrel with the world.
That's why Leon has such a weak impression of his grandfather, but this letter contact reminded him of what happened when he was a child.
"Dear Leon" - this is the first line of the letter, and it is obvious that the five words are heavily handwritten. It seems that Baron Winster was in a rather agitated mood when he picked up his pen.
In fact, his grandfather's cultural level was not high, but he had tried his best to write his handwriting well, and he tried to express his excitement after learning that Li Ang had survived in the most popular language. The more Li Ang looked at it, the more he felt emotional, and at the same time, a strong warmth surged in his heart.
In the second half of the letter, Baron Winster warmly encouraged Leon and then advised him not to rush revenge, but to stabilize the situation and try to gain a foothold in Campbell in order to deal with other situations that might arise in the future. If you don't have enough money, you can ask. Although his territory is small, he has been in business for so many years and has a small savings, so how can he support a part.
Finally, Baron Winster wrote: "I would love to see you as much as I can. But now is not the right time, so I'll be staying in Chester for a while, to help your friend named Bibot, and to get some rumors about your presence in the royal capital. Although my ability is still insufficient. But Count Donn has shown kindness to me, and I feel that he values you very much, so this should be a good opportunity. ā
"Leon, remember, revenge must be done within your means, because even if all the Assassins are dead, our family will not be resurrected...... And now, for an old man like me, you can live well. And the most important thing is to be able to live happily!"
Leon fell silent, and after a long time he sighed. I folded my grandfather's letter in several layers and carefully put it away.
Duncan had been observing the young man's expression, and when he saw this scene, he suddenly said, "Baron Winster wanted me to bring you back a box, which should contain some belongings, but I refused. ā
"Well, well done," Leon nodded slowly, "although my grandfather has good intentions, I can't accept his savings. ā
"Also, what's the situation in the royal capital lately?" he asked.
There was a sentence in his grandfather's letter that made Leon guess - "Stabilize the situation first, and try to stand in Campbell for other situations that may arise in the future", which has a rich meaning, and it is possible that Winster has learned some information, but he can't explain it for a while, so he can only remind him in this way. Of course, it is also possible that it is simply the baron's concern out of concern.
Duncan shrugged apologetically, "This kind of thing doesn't seem to be obvious on the surface, so I don't have much definite news, so I can only wait for Baron Winster or Earl Donn to find out something, and then ask Bibbot to send it over." ā
Duncan was very honest, after spending ten years in the Northland, his relationship with the military had long been broken, and the few people he knew were only idle, how could he know so much information.
Leon expressed his understanding, and continued, "It will take me at least twenty days to go to the City of Chaos this time, and Mentor Kaka's work is very heavy, so once something important happens, you may have to work harder. ā
"Don't be so polite," Duncan said with a smile, "I'm already your subordinate, and as long as Miss Caterina tells me, I'll do my best." ā
A moment later, Duncan was the first to leave, and Leon looked at the empty council chamber, when suddenly a feeling of exhaustion hit him, and he couldn't help but stretch a big waist.
The young man stood up, first moved his body in place, then pushed the door and walked out, standing at the end of the manor avenue and looking out, at this time the sun was already slanting to the west, pulling a long shadow behind him.
"My lord!" several helpers happened to pass by, and immediately bowed to him.
Leon smiled at them, then waved his hand and walked straight to the other side of Manor Avenue, where Kaka's makeshift workshop was located.
From his position, the helpers were transporting all kinds of materials all the time, and there were many people busy in the nearly completed building, and there were obviously many pedestrians on the avenue, and several companions could be seen there, talking about something around a topped house.
There was a sudden shout in Leon's ears, it should be that the recruits were doing physical training by the river, and when Leon swept his eyes, although he couldn't see the situation there, he found several secret sentries hiding in the shadow of the house.
It seemed that all the affairs of the manor were going on in an orderly manner, and Li Ang looked up at the clear blue sky, and his mood suddenly became quite good.
And when he lowered his head again and looked ahead, he saw an old man with curly gray hair and a pointed mage hat walking towards him with a smile on his face. (To be continued......)
