077. Loyal Dogs?
Levi naturally wanted to ask her what other hidden power she had, and at this time her subordinates came to report that Deputy Captain Dix had returned.
He vaguely guessed that this Dix should be the back hand that Katarina was talking about.
Before Levi could wait too long, a young man in armor with blond hair appeared in his field of vision, and there was a faint nobility between the man's eyebrows.
Needless to say, he must be the heir of some nobleman.
"Your Excellency Levi, this is Dix, the deputy leader of our double-bladed mercenary regiment, a sixth-level great swordsman, and the eldest son of the Joseph family!"
Caterina introduced the blonde man with a happy face, and then turned to introduce Levi to Dix.
Levi had previously introduced himself as a fifth-level mage majoring in the ice system, but this alone also filled Dix's eyes with shock, after all, Levi didn't look like he was under twenty years old.
In the face of such a mage, Dix couldn't help but be a little more solemn, but there was some vigilance in his eyes.
"By the way, Dix, what about Lord Baron Layton's wishes?"
Caterina has a straightforward personality and throws questions out in front of Levi.
Dix was clearly a little defensive of Levi, first laughing and apologizing, and then pulling Caterina aside.
"My father promised to support you in reclaiming the title, but ......"
"Great, Dicks, I knew you could!"
Katerina, who was a head shorter than Dix, jumped up and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't get excited, Katarina, my father has one more request. ”
"It's okay, it's normal for Lord Baron to make requests, whether it's gold coins or land!"
Caterina is well aware of these things in the aristocratic circle, and as long as Layton sends troops, he can't let the other party bear the military expenses.
"No, Katarina, my father said he didn't need any of that for a while. ”
Dix's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said slowly: "Father hopes that we can be together, and you become my wife so that he can help you retake the Ryan family in the name of justice." ”
The words made Katerina's smile come to an abrupt end, and the hand on Dix's shoulder was withdrawn.
"You know, Dicks, I've always considered you my best friend, but if I marry you...... I really didn't think about that. ”
"I know this, in fact, I have already thought about it, you can pretend to deceive my father first, sign a contract for him to send troops, and then I will take out the contract and tear it up after helping you regain the family territory, so that everything will be settled!"
Dix gave a solution very fluently, looking at Caterina expectantly.
However, she frowned and shook her head, "No, Dix, I can't deceive Lord Baron. ”
"No, this is not deception, I will destroy the contract in the future, and it has nothing to do with you!"
"That's not right, Dicks, I'm already a deception if I know now. ”
Caterina resolutely rejected Dix's offer, and then spoke very sincerely,
"Please discuss with the Baron again, whether it is the money of the territory, the land, or even the people, I can pay, and as long as the Baron proposes it, I will not retaliate. ”
"It's just that I really can't accept the fact that I'm marrying you, you're a very good partner, and I don't want to lose you. ”
Dix tried to persuade him, but Caterina sealed all the room, and the words in his chest turned into a sigh.
"Okay, then I'll go back and talk to my father about it,"
Dix looked at Caterina sincerely, as if he didn't care about being rejected by her, "But whether my father agrees or not, I will stand in your camp and fight with you against that Celtic brute, so you must wait for me to come back first!"
"Well, I know, thank you Dicks!"
Caterina was extremely grateful, but she didn't expect Dix to still think about her, she was really a good person.
Maybe she could really think about it, but now is not the time.
"Well, I'll go back first. ”
Dix finally forgot a sincere glance and hurried away.
In between the conversations, Levi had been communicating with the others on the other side, taking every opportunity to learn about the plane.
As the saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, and Levi wants to know who in this plane can be his ally.
Kenriwa has a plane that believes in gods, and the same is true of the Takagi Empire, and many nobles are in a relationship with the temple because of some kind of cooperative relationship, and the nobles themselves do not believe in the gods.
Of course, there are also empires dominated by gods, and even the emperor believes in a god of war called Tampas, and the believers of this powerful divine power Tampas control the entire empire, which is obviously Levi's enemy.
After seeing Dix turn away, Levi went to Caterina's side and asked, "Why did he leave again?"
"There are still some details of my cooperation with the Joseph family that have not been discussed, Dix will go back and make sure again, and will be back soon to give me an answer. ”
Katerina's face was full of relief, but Levi looked closely and saw that she was no longer as confident as she had been.
But none of these things have anything to do with him, he just wants to know more about these things in Katerina, and by the way, wait for the source power to fully recover, as for whether he cooperates or not, it is another matter.
One of these two people was preoccupied, and the other didn't care, so neither of them had the heart to talk about anything more.
Caterina went back to her tent to rest, and Levi asked her for a map and ran around the camp, talking to everyone and trying to understand the plane.
After a day and a night like this, Levi almost had a certain idea of this place, but most of it was the affairs of the Takagi Empire. As for other aspects, these mercenaries don't know much about it.
During this period, Levi approached Caterina twice and wanted to talk about the cooperation again, after all, her identity is a nobleman, and it is easier to cut into this dimensional society through her.
However, Caterina was not very interested, and she still looked preoccupied, so Levi was not too forced.
Since the other party was unwilling, Levi didn't want to stay too long, so he decided to leave secretly at night.
......
Late at night, the starry sky of Kenriwa is clear, and if you look at it from the mountainside, you can see a very romantic picture.
However, under such a romantic starry sky, a movement of blood and cruelty was played.
"Have the sentries been cleaned up?"
"All five are solved, young master,"
A middle-aged man dressed in black respectfully reported to the noble man in front of him, "There is a position you marked for us, and there is no movement." ”
"Very good, let everyone do it, surround the camp, don't let one go!"
"Yes!"
The middle-aged man in black immediately conveyed the order, and a group of heavily armed soldiers poured out of the woods behind him, heading straight for the camp on the mountain!
"Katarina, I've already given you a chance, but it's a pity......"
Under the moonlight, a hint of fierceness appeared on the man's face.
