The celebration finally ended perfectly, and the people exchanged goodnight to each other contentedly, and then walked to their respective quarters in groups, and judging by their expressions and the tone of their discussions, it was estimated that the excitement would continue for some time.

As the crowd gradually thinned out, Campbell Manor gradually dimmed, only the two rows of light sources on the avenue were still emitting light, in stark contrast to the lively scene just now, but this dim light did not make the manor look desolate, but made people feel an inexplicable sense of warmth in their hearts.

Some of the waiters were tidying up the venue after the celebration, and although it was already close to the early hours of the morning, none of them complained, but were quite energetic.

"Your Excellency is working hard...... one of the attendants looked at the light shining through the council hall not far away, and whispered to his companions, "I've been busy all day, and I can't rest at such a late hour, and I have to discuss things with those adults." ”

"Not really," the second waiter, a middle-aged man, followed the other's gaze and whispered, "Lord Lord has become much more diligent than before when he returns." ”

"People change," an old man walked to the side and said, "And I said back then, although the young master ...... Oh no, it should be the lord, although he has been stubborn for a while, but it is only a stage that young people will go through, and sooner or later he will still become like the old earl. ”

"Grandpa Hank," the two attendants immediately called out the old man's name when they heard the voice. "Why don't you go to rest yet, let's just come here!"

Hank is the oldest elder in the manor, and it can be said that he has watched Leon grow up, so everyone has always respected him. However, he didn't feel that his identity was any different at all, and he often ran around doing things at a great age, and even Li Ang didn't have much effect to persuade him.

Hank smiled and asked, "The lord hasn't rested yet, why can't I come?"

"But ...... your age"

"I'm getting old, am I? Because of that, maybe I'll be able to rest forever in a few years, and I won't do more now?"

"Besides, having something to do makes me feel more grounded," the old man shook his head. "I don't want to be like I was a few months ago...... There is nothing to do every day, and my heart is empty and panicked. ”

The two juniors looked at each other with a smile and said, "So are we." After the lord came back, he felt very down-to-earth, and seeing the changes in the manor day by day, it was like living in a dream that he had in those days, and I really hoped that Campbell would get better and better in the future. Don't let that happen again. ”

"yes......" Hank looked at the council chamber not far away. Said slowly: "This is all the change brought about by the lord's return, and he has been working hard like you and I have never done before, just to make Campbell better and better as you said." ”

......

While they whispered, Leon sat in the council chamber, listening to Melissa tell her findings to the rest of her companions.

"That's the way it is," said Leon as Melissa sat down, "I just decided to teach these natives a lesson to remember. They just gave it a great opportunity, of course. Melissa was a great contributor to this opportunity. ”

Facing everyone's eyes, the little girl immediately blushed, she buried her head, judging from the curved curvature of her smooth neck, it was estimated that her neck was about to break if she tried harder.

"So I'll take some of my men out early tomorrow morning and go into the Pale Mountains to exterminate the goblins, and then go around the rest of the world to see where the lizardmen and trolls are hiding. ”

Leon didn't mention the kobolds that would appear with them in every battle, because this creature was not very bold, and if there were no other strong races to accompany him...... In fact, it may be more realistic to say that it is "persecution", they do not dare to invade human territory alone.

Hearing this, the other companions did not react, and Red was the first to speak with a bitter face.

"Huh, so fast, looks like I can't catch up with ......."

"Not necessarily," Leon's half-sentence ignited Red's hope, and he immediately shut up, eagerly waiting for the other party's next words.

"There are at least five or six hundred goblins in the Stone Rock Tribe, and many of them are strong," said the young man, "and the valley is a little deeper than I thought, and it will take us about an hour or so south when we enter the Pale Mountains." ”

"Everyone knows the danger of the Pale Mountains, especially for ordinary warriors, the threat posed by intelligent creatures living in groups will far exceed those of blind beasts, so this operation should not bring too many people, and adopt few but refined tactics. ”

"In addition, there is one more thing that some of you may not know much about," Leon looked at the companions in front of him who had been born and died together many times, and slowly brought out the note he had found from the archmage when he suppressed the riot in Brown Bear Town, as well as the double fourth-order professionals killed during the underground trip to rescue Red, and the information about the mysterious man he had obtained from the centaur, combined with what he had found in his grandfather's mansion.

"This means that there is a powerful and mysterious organization that has its sights on Campbell, or rather the Kingdom of Sver, and that the murder of my grandfather and parents is probably related to them......" Leon whispered, "Since all indications indicate that the mysterious person Melissa found is likely to be the Seventeen, or a subordinate of the Seventeen, then he has become the most important target this time." ”

"Compared to this incident, the lesson to those two nobles can be postponed for a while, and besides, we should be back in a few days. ”

After Leon's voice fell, people didn't seem to have much thought about the mysterious organization, but looked at him eagerly, as if they all wanted to be a member of this operation.

"I'm going," Duncan was the first to speak, "and the truth about the murder of the old earl is that whoever the other is, I'm going to go." ”

"Of course," Leon nodded and said, "You're the first person I've considered." ”

"I'll go too," Fiona said lazily, "I'm bored to death these two days, I might as well follow you to the Pale Mountains for a spin, I don't have a good impression of those mysterious people anyway." ”

Leon nodded again, and then said, "In addition, Katerina, Irene, Sophia, Melissa, Red, Yelena and Dan, this time I will be ten together, Moros and Singh, and you two will assist Jeff in the defense of the manor." ”

The people who were called immediately responded in unison, especially the voice of the big man Red. (To be continued......)
