Chapter 10: Gutierrez's Resentment
Looking at the iron ingots on the ground, Leo remembered a question.
How much spiritual power does the mage's hand consume, if you can only cast one or two at full state, you will really be dumbfounded.
Looking left and right, there was no one coming, and after Leo hurriedly cast the mage, an iron ingot rose in response to the spell, and flew over with the traction of spiritual power.
If someone sees it like this, it will definitely cause trouble, Leo hurriedly caught the iron ingot and cut off the mental power output.
Fortunately, the iron ingot is still floating, but it is no longer under his control.
"The Mage's Hand is a guiding magic, and after completing the initial effect, I need to continuously consume mental energy to control the direction of the object. Yes, I didn't expect this to save mental energy. Leo nodded with satisfaction and asked in his consciousness, "Professor, what is my current mental value?"
"The current spirit value of the body is 0.77. ”
Leo frowned, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart: "If you consume 0.14, if you control it above the minimum of 0.3, and then close the professor, you can cast it up to ten times in a row, which is not enough." ”
Looking at the iron ingot in his hand that was completely weak, Leo had an idea, bent down and picked up a piece of it with his own strength, and stacked it.
The magically affected iron ingots below were still floating steadily, and Leo almost laughed, and moved two more pieces in a row, still showing no sign of falling.
"Not too much at a time, four pieces are enough, and the work will definitely be done by night!" he hurriedly pushed the iron ingot and walked briskly towards the castle for fear that the magic would fail.
............
At sunset, at the end of the day's work, Leo still felt weak and drowsy even though he used magic.
Although there is no need to carry it, it takes a lot of effort to push hundreds of kilograms of iron ingots.
In this way, it is necessary to consume both physical and mental energy, and its fatigue can be imagined.
Entering the cafeteria and walking up to Gutierrez, he said a little weakly: "Lord Steward, I have finished my work and come to get the food for the evening. ”
"What did you say, done?" Gutierrez was obviously a little unable to react, and his expression froze.
The other servants who were eating also looked at Leo in disbelief. They also thought that Leo would ask Gutierrez for forgiveness, and while starvation was certain, at least it might be spared punishment. Who would have thought that Leo would be ashamed to say that he was done.
Is that a job that can be done by one person? Even an idiot knows it's impossible!
"Yes, it's done. Leo nodded calmly.
"How dare he lie to my face!" Gutierrez was not annoyed, but excited.
If Leo is punished simply for not completing the work, it may also attract some criticism, after all, if you don't finish the work for the first time, you will be given a chance to repent in most cases, which is also the unwritten rule in the castle.
But now, punish a liar, even the noblest person, can not have any doubts about himself.
"Good boy, I was worried that you would beg for mercy and have to let you go once, but I didn't expect to send it to the door myself!" Gutierrez laughed.
The servants immediately realized what was going to happen, and their expressions were different and whispered.
A tall man muttered incomprehensibly, "Is this guy stupid?
A person next to him pouted and said, "I don't think he's stupid, he's crazy." ”
The third person shook his head and sighed: "Alas, I really want to die, I can't finish my job, and if I starve if it's a big deal, why should I lie?"
John couldn't help but panic as he listened to the crowd's arguments, and couldn't understand why Leo did this.
This kind of lie can't stand up at all, anyone can change it lightly, he doesn't believe that Leo is really stupid, or crazy, is it......
John felt that he had found the crux of the problem and exclaimed: "Big Brother Leo can't talk nonsense, he must have really done his job!"
This surprising argument immediately attracted ridicule from everyone.
"Hahaha, little John, you have a broken head?"
"yes, I think you've had too much contact with Leo and you've been infected. ”
Listening to the discussion, Leo was a little amused in his heart, but there was no reaction on his face, and he stood honestly in place. With the current development of the situation, he already thought about his expectations and approached, so he opened his mouth and asked, "What is the Lord Steward going to do?"
"What for?" Gutierrez grinned, "Of course it's to punish you, boy, it's too late for you to ask for mercy." Hahaha, if you want to blame yourself, you are too short-sighted, some things are not something that can be touched casually. ”
Of course, Leo understood what the other party meant, but he still said with a blank face: "What reason does the chief manager have to punish me?"
Looking at Leo's appearance, Gutierrez was quite unhappy. This little guy was dying, and he didn't know it, which made him feel like he was punching the cotton, so he explained uncharacteristically: "Hmph, I'll let you die to understand." First, deliberately procrastinating and not completing the work, and second, lying! ”
"It's enough. Leo nodded.
Gutierrez's heart became more and more comfortable, and he casually ordered a short and strong servant, and said in a loud voice: "Peel, go and inform the executioners, it will be time to start work in a while." ”
"Please wait!" a figure pounced in front of Leo with a fierce shout.
Everyone didn't expect Isha to stand up, and was about to leave, Peel looked at Gutierrez a little blankly, but got no instructions.
Isha had already burst into tears, crying and saying, "Leo, I'll give you no dinner, why lie!"
Seeing that the girl's love was so intense, Leo couldn't bear it, and said helplessly: "Isa, I really didn't lie, I did get the job done." ”
"At this time, why are you still stubborn. Isa's face was sad, and she ignored him again, turned around and said to Gutierrez, "Boss, please spare him this time." ”
Gutierrez smiled cruelly, "Dear Isa, I don't dare to disobey the rules in the castle." ”
Seeing that the other party was about to arrest someone, Isha hurriedly protected Leo, "Lord Steward, I beg you, he really can't bear the punishment anymore, it will kill people." ”
Seeing Isa's plump upper circumference, constantly stirring from his rapid breathing, Gutierrez's heart was filled with lust, and a wonderful idea suddenly came to him.
He waved his hand and motioned to his most powerful dog-legged Pierre to wait for a while, then licked his lips and said, "Oh, for your sake, it's not that you can't spare him once, but ......"
"But what?" Hearing that there was a turnaround, Isha hurriedly asked eagerly.
Gutierrez put his probe next to Isa's ear and lowered his voice and said, "You must come to my room at night." ”
The girl's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked back at the pale Leo, and her heart struggled.
Isha is no longer a child, and even if she remains pure, she understands what Gutierrez means. Although her mother died at an early age, what she said, the girl always remembered in her heart.
"The most precious thing for a woman is the first time, and she must be entrusted to the right person, otherwise she will regret it for the rest of her life. ”
But if he doesn't agree, Leo, who has just been punished, will definitely lose his life. She must not watch the person she likes die in front of her!
Although Leo didn't hear what Gutierrez said, he could guess a rough idea, and muttered in his heart: "Now the heat is almost there, don't make a big fuss, it's not going to end well." ”
Seeing that Isa's face had become firm, and it was obvious that he had made a decision, Leo hurriedly flashed out and said to Gutierrez: "Lord Steward, you haven't done any verification, how can you be sure that I'm lying?"
Gutierrez was anxiously waiting for Isha's response, but he didn't expect Leo to dare to intervene sideways, and he was immediately completely enraged. Anyway, Isha will fall into her own hands sooner or later, so let's get rid of this hateful boy today!
"Boy, I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!" he roared, "Peel, go to the side door and see, how many iron ingots are left there, count them for me!"
Isha sat down on the ground and began to cry, her heart was even more dead, "Why, why is this? Am I willing to give up my dignity, but I still can't redeem this qiē?"
After a while, Peel, who had gone to check, ran back and said breathlessly, "Report, Lord Steward, outside the side door...... ...... outside"
Seeing that he couldn't speak for a long time, Gutierrez yelled angrily: "You just need to say how many iron ingots are left!"
Under the forced gaze of Gutierrez, Peel said cautiously: "No ......"
"What did you say?" Gutierrez's eyes widened with a hideous expression.
Peel was startled, but with the facts in front of him, he could only answer honestly: "There are no iron ingots, all of them are in the warehouse." ”
The whole cafeteria fell silent, and everyone grew their mouths and had the same thought: "How is this possible?"
Gutierrez's face changed dramatically, and his mind was in turmoil.
He clearly remembered that he had only called someone to go to the side door at noon, and at that time there were not a few pieces of iron ingots, how could they have been moved into the warehouse in the afternoon?
"Boy, how did you do it, I now ask you to report it immediately!"
Leo smiled, showing a hint of sarcasm, and said the excuse he had already thought of: "That's right, Lord Steward, I couldn't finish the job before, but a kind person saw that I was pitiful, so he reached out to help. ”
"Who are the good Samaritan?" Gutierrez asked hoarsely.
Leo looked at the other party for a long time, and said leisurely: "That gentleman won't let me tell me his identity, but he asked me to tell you not to go too far." ”
"Don't let anyone who says who they are...... Could it be ......?" Gutierrez guessed secretly, and quickly came up with an answer, "yes! Only the strong guards can get the job done in an afternoon, and many of them like pretty boys." ”
Regardless of what Gutierrez thought, Leo pulled the sluggish Isha up from the ground and said with a smile: "I said that the work was done, why don't you believe it." ”
"Leo......" Isha felt like something that had disappeared and been regained, and she could no longer suppress her feelings, and threw herself into Leo's arms.
"Damn, how could this be!" Seeing that Isha, who was about to arrive, flew away again, Gutierrez was so angry that he wanted to eat Leo alive.
However, he also understands that if Leo really has an improper relationship with one of the guards, he will really have to be careful in the future. Although the castle guards were strictly forbidden to interfere in internal affairs, those murderers who did not blink an eye were to go crazy, he could not bear it.
Although the other servants did not have such thoughts, but when they looked at Leo's gaze, they became more complicated, with envy, awe, and worship, after all, servants who can make Gutierrez deflated are too rare.
John's face was even more flushed, excited by his correct judgment, and said to the few people who were laughing just now: "If you see it, I know that Big Brother Leo has definitely done his job!"
