This came up and began to tout, and Lance couldn't stand it.

But his vanity was greatly satisfied, and he didn't care whether their "prestige" really spread to every corner.

With a smile on his face, he replied, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your praise, I think that every young warrior like me will make it his mission to destroy evil." ”

"Haha...... Sure enough, it's a hero out of a boy, let's sit down and talk together!"

Komodos made a gesture of please, and the group sat down.

The waiter brought some ale directly to Lance and the others.

When a few people sat down, Jonathan said under the gesture of Komodos's eyes: "I came to find two of you today, there are two things, the first thing is about ghouls, Your Excellency Libert has told me the whole process yesterday, he thinks that in Kohima City, there may be high-level ghouls, so he highly recommends the two warriors to me, and hopes that the two can lend a hand and provide us with strong support!"

It turned out to be really for the ghouls!

Lance thought to himself.

However, after taking the commission, there is a follow-up to this matter, so no matter from which point of view, it must be managed to the end.

And Liebert and Bruce's failure yesterday has something to do with this matter, and it is still necessary to ask Jonathan.

"Did you see Libert and them yesterday?"

Lance asked in a puzzled tone.

"Yes, His Excellency Libert was supposed to tell us this the night before yesterday, but that night he was temporarily transferred to pursue a group of bandits outside the city with his brothers from the city guard, so the matter was delayed!"

Jonathan said slightly apologetically.

But Jonathan's words made Lance have two doubts in his heart.

Shouldn't the pursuit of bandits be the business of the kingdom's army, and should the captain of the city guard personally go on horseback?

Jonathan seemed to see Lance's doubts, and explained with a smile: "Little brother Lance, you may not know much about the situation in Kohima City, just more than half a month ago, the kingdom's troops stationed outside the city were temporarily transferred to the Forest of Irene, I heard that it was to assist the church to encircle and suppress some heretics, so our city guards temporarily played the role of the kingdom's army, but it was during this time that there was a cannibalism incident in Kohima City. ”

If that's what Jonathan says, then things make sense.

But when you tie everything together, there are a lot of coincidences.

"Was it deliberately arranged? or was it a simple coincidence?"

Lance thought to himself.

For some reason, in his head, the words that Libert had said to them that night rang.

Seemingly, there is a conspiracy brewing.

And Jonathan's words also involve Erin's forest, and the secret of this is probably only known to the living parties, Lance, Ike, Tecklin and Mithlanda.

Lance secretly made up his mind, since this is the case, then take advantage of the situation first, and then look for clues, whether this "conspiracy" is aimed at him or not, then he has been involved in it, and he must not be someone else's marionette.

Sitting back and waiting for death has never been Reims' character.

After a short period of thought, Lance patted his chest as if he had made some decision, and pretended to be righteous and said: "Captain Jonathan, please rest assured, since Ike and I have already received the reward for the mission, then we will definitely be responsible for this matter to the end, high-level ghouls, right? As long as we cooperate with Libert and others, we will definitely be able to completely eliminate it." ”

"Haha...... Here, I would like to thank the two warriors for the inhabitants of the city of Kohima. ”

With that, Jonathan picked up his glass and drank it down.

Ike, on the other hand, glanced at Lance with some confusion, didn't say anything, and also picked up the wine glass, and with Lance, he took a big sip with his neck up.

There are some things that he does not understand.

But he also knows that now is not the time to ask.

But the little doubt in Ike's eyes fell on Komodos, who smiled silently, as if he hadn't seen it.

Just after everyone had taken a sip of wine, Jonathan said in a slurred tone, "But ......"

"What's wrong? Captain Jonathan?

"Oh, no, it's Lord Libert and Lord Bruce, who left Kohima yesterday morning, saying that they were going to seek some support, but before they leave, let me leave this to you. ”

As Jonathan spoke, he took out a small delicate silver kettle from his bosom and placed it on the table, and suddenly a faint divine power slowly spread.

Lance took the kettle and looked at it carefully.

The style of the kettle looked familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, I remembered that it was very similar to the silver kettle of Big Brother Rick, except that the Red Cross emblem that represented the identity was missing.

"Is this holy water?"

Lance asked.

"Yes, Lord Libert asked me to apologize for his breach of contract, and asked me to tell you that this is not an ordinary holy water, because it is too precious, so I hope you will only use it when it is critical. ”

Jonathan said seriously.

For Liebert's deliberate explanation of the magician, Jonathan did not dare to slack off at all.

This magician, who has a mind-reading analogy, is able to read every thought in his mind.

And Libert also said that Lance and Ike will be the key figures in dealing with this matter, although I don't quite understand why, but since he said so, there must be a reason for him.

"Ahem......"

Suddenly, the butler Komodos coughed lightly, and seemed to be dissatisfied with the chatter of several people, and ignored him.

Jonathan, who wanted to say something more, had a slightly embarrassed face, and he hurriedly changed his words and said, "Brother Lance, Brother Ike, we have another thing to do today." ”

Jonathan said as he looked sideways at the butler, Komodos.

After Komodos nodded, he took over the conversation, smiled, and said to the two Lances in a humble and polite manner: "Our young and brave warriors, the city lord heard about the heroic performance of the two yesterday, and specially sent me to invite the two to attend the city lord's dinner the night after tomorrow, I wonder if the two heroes can attend on time?"

"Dinner?"

Lance asked, somewhat surprised.

His tone was full of anticipation and yearning.

Although he never attended any dinner parties or social gatherings of the aristocracy.

But in Grandpa Laurie's story, almost all the heroes will have a banquet and be crowned with honors.

Now that the city lord is holding a banquet to entertain, can this not make Lance look forward to and yearn for?

"Yes, because the two warriors have already eradicated the man-eating ghouls, the lord of the castle has decided to hold a dinner tomorrow, at which time the merchants and wealthy merchants of Kohima City will be invited, as well as some representatives of the chamber of commerce from other places, and at the same time, the lord will personally express his gratitude to the two warriors. ”

Komodos said sincerely.

Although he saw a slight disappointment in Lance's eyes, it didn't seem to have much of an impact.

"Forgive me, Your Excellency Komodos, since Captain Jonathan has already said that there may still be high-level ghouls in the city, would it be a little inappropriate for the city lord to do this?"

After the butler Komodos finished speaking, Ike said.

Ike has a relatively straight temperament, either he doesn't speak, or he is straightforward when he talks, and he doesn't care about Komodos' feelings at all.

Obviously, Komodos, who was extremely well cultivated, didn't mind Icke's question.

"Huh...... Warrior Ike asked a good question, and with all due respect, because of the ghoul cannibalism incident, there are already many caravans who are unwilling to come to Kohima City to do business, and now that the autumn harvest is approaching, if you don't dispel the concerns of those chambers of commerce, the farmers of Kohima City will suffer a great loss, I think, this is not what the two warriors want to see, right?"

I see.

Ike glanced at Lance, who nodded, took over the conversation, looked at the butler Komodos and said: "Your Excellency Komodos, I am very grateful for your sincere answer, as you said, I can save some losses for the farmers of Kohima City, I, Lance, am very happy to serve. ”

At the same time, Ike nodded in agreement.

Komodos's words are very clever.

In a short exchange, he has learned about the weaknesses of Lance and Ike.

As long as they are given enough praise and an aura of justice, then they will follow their own wishes.

He was very relieved that these young men were still good, simple-minded, and much easier to get along with than those nobles in the castle.

Komodos smiled at Lance, who was also smiling, but the meaning of their smiles was different.

Reim's smile, in the eyes of Komodos, was a smile of satisfied vanity.

And only Ike knew that Lance's smile was full of other meanings.

Several people exchanged a few words of greetings again, and the housekeeper Komodos said that he had something to ask for, and left.

Before leaving, the butler Komodos also specially told Jonathan to entertain Lance and Ike, and asked him to prepare several sets of costumes for the two warriors to participate in the banquet.

It was almost noon, Jonathan called the waiter, ordered a lot of wine and food, and had lunch directly with Lance.

"Brother Lance, Brother Ike, I won't tell you, this ghoul cannibalism incident really made my brother and me sad, fortunately you appeared in time, otherwise my brother and I might not be able to do this guard captain. ”

As the conversation deepened, the distance between Jonathan and Lance also narrowed a lot.

Jonathan was born in the military, and in terms of personality, he still has an appetite for Lance, so gradually, he lost that rusty feeling.

"Brother Jonathan, this shows that we have fate, didn't we also earn a reward of several gold coins from you!haha......"

Lance said as he put his hand on Jonathan's shoulder very closely.
