Chapter 139: Leisurely
Krystal told SΓΉ Leon that he would be rewarded in about two days, and of course, there would be no more drinking parties, let alone so many people invited.
This is very much in line with Li Ang's thoughts, so he expressed his gratitude to the female speaker for the arrangement.
"You're in the limelight this time, and of course you're taking a lot of risk, so as the Speaker of the Council of the City of Chaos, I'm going to have a special thank you gift." β
Li Ang's eyes immediately widened, joking, this is a fifth-order professional, her thank you gift must be different!
"But it's going to be a day, and you'll know then," the Speaker laughed.
"Your Excellency, there is another matter, when I first arrived in the City of Chaos, I accidentally had some conflicts with Lady Patricia, and I would like you to help me say a few words. β
Taking advantage of the other party's happiness, Leon immediately told the matter, Patricia's personality is like a crazy woman, he doesn't want to run into the other party sometime, although he may not be able to fight, but it is very possible to eat a deflated meal.
Crystal leaned back in his chair and nodded slowly, and suddenly said, "Patricia, since you are mentioned, come out." β
Li Ang was stunned for a moment, only to see that after a fluctuation in the room, Patricia's figure appeared.
The "crazy woman" in Li Ang's impression has very clear eyes and gentle demeanor at this time, how can there be a trace of madness?
Patricia looked at Leon with a smile and said, "Hello, Captain Leon, we're meeting again. β
The contrast between the two is a little too big, which makes Li Ang a little uncomfortable for a while.
"It doesn't matter if you know, Patricia isn't what you think she is, she's just dealing with a lot of things I don't fit to do in this way, understand?"
"As for that time...... Patricia, tell for yourself. β
"Chief Leon, I don't care what the meaning of what Mr. Edward said at that time, but the impact on you is very bad, I have to personally intervene to divert their attention, if you have any misunderstanding, I apologize to you. β
The words of these two men together made Leon suddenly realize that this lady's role was just playing a gun in the soothsayer's hut.
It is estimated that there is a figure like Christel who is both a fifth-order professional and a speaker, and the soothsayer's hut will be a little inconvenient to do things in many cases, and if you do it, it will make many people dissatisfied, and if you don't do it, it will make another part of the people dissatisfied, and there are many powerful forces in the council, even if the first witch is strong, it is impossible to suppress all the voices.
But with Patricia, she plays a grumpy, suspicious, crazy, and powerful woman who can use her natural personality as a shield even if she does anything out of the ordinary, and the rest of the council will certainly not target the entire soothsayer hut because of this.
"This is simply a character who understands righteousness, suffers hardship, and endures humiliation, and it's a pity that Ms. Patricia doesn't go to the Oscars to receive the Best Performance Award......"
"But this matter should definitely be very secretive, why did you suddenly sue me?" Li Ang's doubts increased greatly, "In the future, Patricia will be out of the background?"
"Or is it to strengthen the trust between them and me? I'm the leader of a small mercenary group, it's definitely not worth it, why on earth?"
"Don't think about it," Christal said at the right time, "I just think that you are a very reliable young man, and you are also steady, so I think it is okay to sue you." β
"No, there must be a conspiracy......," Li Ang said secretly, but no one would believe the fact that a fifth-order professional would have a conspiracy against a second-order tactic.
Unless he himself is the eldest son of a great nobleman, or the prince of a certain country, it is still possible.
"Sister, it doesn't matter, what's the matter with love," Li Ang thought that his head hurt, so he simply let it go.
Patricia exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then withdrew, and then the female speaker said, "Captain Leon, I don't know what your next goal will be after this incident?
"Yes, but I refused," Leon was not at all surprised by the well-informed Cheng dΓΉ of Crystelle's news.
"Oh, why?" the Speaker was intrigued.
Li Ang had no choice but to briefly explain his future arrangements, this time he didn't hide anything, it is estimated that he can't hide it if he wants to, and the other party may have figured out his family background earlier.
It can be seen that Krystal is very satisfied, but I don't know if it is because of Leon's "honesty" in the conversation, or because of some other reason. She said: "Since it is your private matter, I am not easy to intervene, but I believe in your ability, and your future growth can be expected." β
"Okay, it's late, I won't disturb your rest, we'll see you in a few days. β
At this point in the conversation, Leon was still thinking about what kind of "conspiracy" would await him until he was far away.
All the way back to Kaka's house, when he lay in bed, he realized that his body was already very tired, and what happened that day was a little unbearable even for his current physique.
The next morning, when Leon woke up, Jeff on the other bed was long gone, Leon touched his rumbling belly, and felt that he "missed" Jeff extremely much at this time.
Sure enough, when he pushed the door down the stairs, the smell of breakfast had already wafted over.
For these people, because the body is completely different from ordinary people, the usual amount of food is not small, and after the battle, a large amount of body is consumed, and the demand for food is greater, so early in the morning, the members of the entire mercenary group consciously gathered at the long table on the first floor, drooling and waiting for the breakfast that the "gourmet" Jeff is cooking.
Eric was getting a taste of Jeff's craft for the first time, and the gangster who had been in downtown for many years was also full of praise, satisfying the vanity of the "foodie" once again.
After a hearty and hearty breakfast, everyone began to sit downstairs and chat, enjoying a rare leisurely time. Of course, the topic is inseparable from the battle of the previous day, and Sophia described it most exaggeratedly, in her words, with Li Ang here, this qiΔ result is a matter of course.
Kaka, who contributed the most in the battle, was angry enough, but with his identity, he couldn't argue with a little girl with big nerves, so he kept glaring at Leon silently.
Leon was glared at a little hairy, and quickly wanted to change the subject, but this time it was not very successful, and even people like Melissa, who usually spoke little, were involved.
"Tuan, Tuan, I never thought you would be so powerful!" the little girl's eyes were full of admiration.
"This is a bit too much......" Seeing that Caterina was also shining in her eyes, Li Ang said in his heart.
Fortunately, the sophisticated Eric's words drew everyone's attention.
"Did you find out, and finally a strange vampire appeared in the venue, he can fight with the spell swordsman so easily, at least he is intermediate or above the fourth order, yesterday I heard Julie and them discuss, it is estimated that such strength is at least an earl. β
"And in the end, the conversation between His Excellency the Speaker and the strong man of the undead seems to involve a mysterious sect, and it seems that His Excellency the Speaker is also very concerned about this sect. β
"Mysterious Sect?" Leon hurriedly borrowed the slope provided by Eric, and deliberately asked, "Is it very powerful?"
The gangster leader said: "I don't know, if there are those messy and small sects all over the place, but the organizations like Your Excellency Speaker are too far away from us. β
"Hmph!" Kaka snorted heavily, "It's nothing more than the secret society of some madmen, such as the Dark Cultists, the Revival Society, the Claws of Dusk, and so on. β
"Master Mentor, your knowledge is so profound! you are worthy of being a versatile alchemy master!" Li Ang immediately praised.
"Humph!" Kaka snorted again, but this time he could tell he was in a much better mood.
"What are they all doing, can the mentor help us explain?" the young regimental leader struck while the iron was hot.
"Hmm...... As the name suggests, the Dark Cultists are the cultists who want to spread those dark thoughts on this continent, and the Revival Society is some clergy who want to reverse the current era of change to the previous era of faith, as for the claws of twilight...... It's a bit mysterious, and I don't know much about it. β
"And as Eric said, there are too many sects of all kinds in the current era of change, and they generally act secretively, as if they are doing some shady things! But most of these sects are of average strength, as long as they don't provoke the strongest ones, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. β
"Bad food," Leon had a foreboding feeling, "this Quitor doesn't look like an ordinary person, but don't be one of these sects...... But they shouldn't know who they are, and they are about to leave the City of Chaos, so they won't have to come so far to find me as an insignificant person, right?"
Thinking of this, he gradually stabilized.
Later, they chatted casually about relatively inconsequential matters, and then Eric stood up and said, "Commander, there's nothing to do now, I'll go outside and gather information by the way." β
"Okay," Leon was satisfied with his sensitivity, and it was estimated that there would be all kinds of aftermath and all kinds of important information revealed on the agenda of the council today.
Eric bowed slightly to the crowd, then turned and walked out the door.
Leon looked at his back and felt that having such a person around him was indeed very important, and his strength was not so important compared to Eric's ability. β
