Volume 1 Wind Clan's Abandoned Son Chapter 114 Farewell
Little Sissel is still an optimistic person after all, and laughed a little, thinking that the astrologer said that after all, Leia Corion's fate should be able to be changed by his own efforts.
Prevent her from going to the Violet Empire, prevent her from contacting anyone related to the Castle Decision, and send trusted people to keep an eye on Locke Langdon's movements......
After all, the Sissell family has been in the Gerry Empire for decades, and this confidence is still there.
The sky in Ember City suddenly became overcast, and the water vapor in the dark clouds seemed to fall at any time, heavy.
"It's going to rain, let's go, go back to the Entropy Tower. ”
Leia nodded, didn't speak, and took Little Sissel's hand and walked in the direction of the tower.
The residents of Ember City all know that the relationship between Her Royal Highness the Princess and General Sissel is not ordinary, they are brothers and sisters who have played together since childhood, and holding hands is a common thing, and they have long been used to it, so they are not surprised.
But little Sissel felt those gazes poking at his spine like knives. He tried to pull his hand away, but Leia grabbed him tightly.
Back at the tower, little Sissel got busy. He unveiled three new bounties of low difficulty, instructed the mercenaries of Ember City to do them, and sent his servants to make new brass pellets and feathered arrows. Leia sat aside, staring thoughtfully at the unopened letter on the table.
"Brother, why don't you open the letter?" she asked.
"Who sent it?"
Leia picked up the envelope and looked at it, shaking her head: "I don't know, but look at the water ripple pattern printed on this fire paint seal, it looks like the Violet Empire." ”
Mercenaries have a special habit of paying attention to the waste paper advertisements posted on the bounty board every day rather than being in the mood to open those elaborately packaged letters one by one. If you want to contact them, you have to put up a bounty order, and if you want to contact a mercenary of the level of Little Sissel, you have to add a few more zeros to the order.
If it weren't for my sister mentioning it in passing, there is a high probability that this letter would have been lost again.
But Little Sissel didn't want Leia to see his eagerness for the first time, so he said lightly: "Let's put it aside, I guess it's nothing serious, I'm too lazy to look at it." ”
"You have an easy money. Leia pursed her lips and dropped the letter on the table, "This letter has been sitting here for a day, and if something happens to the employer's side and you need to go over, I'm afraid it's all yellow now." ”
"Look at it, look at it. Little Sissel pretended to be impatient and opened the letter.
In the next second, the expression on his face suddenly changed.
Leia laughed mercilessly: "Isn't it, it's really delayed, brother's expression really amuses me......"
"I remember when you first received the bounty, you were only sixteen years old, and Uncle Karen casually sent you a slip of fifty silver coins. As a result, you ran into someone with the same name, and you killed the wrong person, hahaha......"
Leia's shoulders trembled slightly, and she added: "Not only did I not get the money, but I also lost a gold coin to go in, my good brother, you are really interesting." ”
She was happy to herself, but little Sissel didn't listen to a word.
The letter was sent by Gwendrin, but there was not much on the paper, and the tone of the speech was ambiguous, it should have been the divination of the astrologer, and it had not yet happened in real life.
The war came to an abrupt end, and Prince Locke Langdon's surrender came as no surprise to all. The death of General Karen hit the Sissell family hard, and through such a huge sacrifice, the Gerry Empire is now considered a country and a people's peace. But Violet, as the victorious nation, was in constant civil war. The mission in the letter is very clear, that is, to ask himself to return to St. Randall as soon as possible to make peace with the Spirit Clan, and as for what will happen, he does not disclose half a word.
Little Sissel, who was so excited, was a little disappointed, and on that thin piece of paper, there were only a few words that were not painful and not painful, such as the civil war and the people's misery, and there was no other useful information at all. He even wondered if the Yu patriarch was worried about staying in the Gerry Empire for a long time and submitting information to the Langdon royal family......
He is now in a dilemma.
The death of his parents, coupled with the fact that he had just taken over the mercenary group for a short time, made him unable to travel to the royal capital of Feigen City from time to time, causing his intelligence network to be paralyzed, and he was unable to carry out the next step of his plan.
Previously, in order to spy on intelligence, he showed his face once in the "torch" of the royal capital stronghold, but it was that time that he not only made His Royal Highness the prince suspicious, but even took the trouble to deal with that woman in the future, Aoi Del.
In addition, Rock Langdon's intention to place himself in Violet began to be confusing. But it's not a good thing after all, either you use yourself to find out the Lord of the Towns, and then kill yourself by the hands of the Water Spirit Master, or you can take control of the entire mercenary group and Ember City.
If the prophecy provided by the Patriarch is true, then it is very possible that Leia Corion will die for herself.
"What did the letter say?" Leia pondered Little Sissel's expression, "Is it Violet's side that is worried about your whereabouts?"
Little Sissel shook his head, "The new mission needs manpower, but I don't know anyone mentioned in this letter, so I have to go back and ask early." ...... Anyway, they didn't see me as an enemy. ”
"I'll see. Leia spread her hands.
"It's nothing," Sissel said, hesitating, handing over the letter, "and nothing was written." ”
"Gwendrin ......" Leia was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why isn't it a letter from the Feather Patriarch?"
"The patriarch is entangled in everything, and of course he will not send me a letter himself. Little Sissel frowned slightly, "Besides, the Great Spirit Envoy is also an elite spirit magician representing the Spirit Clan, does it matter who sent it?"
Leia said, "I want to see Featherfish's handwritten letter." ”
"What for?" said little Sissel, looking warily at Leia's eyes that seemed to have a smile on her face.
"You're mistaken, brother. Leia smiled slightly, those dark red eyes were meaningless, "I just want to meet the woman my brother likes." ”
Little Sissel said solemnly: "When did I tell you that I liked her?"
Leia was silent for a moment, then replied, "By a woman's intuition, by what I know about you. ”
"Leia......" Little Sissel said lightly, "don't be cranky. ”
"It's natural for me to care about my brother, for so many years, my brother hasn't met a woman he likes, and now I've met in Violet, and I'd like to ask a little more as a sister. ”
"You're mistaken, she's my employer, and I'll do things for her, it's as simple as that. ”
"Hmm. Leia smiled, the expression on her face instantly changing from a smile to indifference, "That's the best." ”
Little Sissel coughed twice, a little hairy at her, "What?"
With a slightly casual sigh, Leia blinked and said with a smile: "Just now, as the leader of the mercenary group, you have agreed to me becoming a mercenary. Sister, I also have tattoos now, and I can make money by taking orders. ”
Little Sissel was slightly startled, and said solemnly: "Agree is agree, you must not tell His Royal Highness the Prince." "He's my husband, and I'm ready to marry him. Leia smiled, "Besides, His Royal Highness the Prince is very supportive. ”
Little Sissel frowned again, and for a moment he couldn't figure out Rock Langdon's intentions, but in any case, he was sincerely concerned about his sister's situation.
"You're a girl, and you're a future princess, and the bounty makes it impossible to take this thing easily. ”
An unpredictable look flashed in Leia's eyes, "Of course, the Corion family has always done things above board, and I can't ruin my family's reputation, and I'm just taking on private jobs." ”
"What do you mean by a private job? Who gave it to you, your father, or your husband?"
Bounty orders for the entire Grim Empire will be passed through under Sissel Jr., especially the missions of the Corion family and the Langdon family faction, which he will keep an eye on every week. Leia's sudden utterance of the word "private work" made him feel a little flustered.
"Brother, you've been in the Violet Empire all this time, and there's been a lot of fun going on in Fagan City. Leia laughed and trembled, her eyes crooked, squeezing tears, "You were just thinking, our acquaintances haven't issued a single reward order, where did they get any 'private work', right?"
......
"However, His Royal Highness the Prince has a pillow talk with his wife, so he doesn't need to report to you, right?"
Little Sissel instantly got goosebumps.
Leia smiled: "Since my brother doesn't like that Yu Patriarch, it's just right, so I won't feel distressed...... My brother is not distressed, and my sister is not uncomfortable, but she is more happy. ”
Little Sissel leaned back at the table, his hands behind his back, his expression a little complicated.
"Leia, we really can't go back. ”
Leia's red hair hung down, obscuring her delicate face. After a while, she seemed to suppress her anger and sneered, "Yes, there is no way...... If you marry the crown prince, you have to do things for the king and the Langdon royal family. If there is a traitor, even if it is an elder brother, he can't show mercy. ”
He touched the cold metal.
As soon as his mind was hot, he suddenly pulled out the Vulcan spear and aimed it at his sister's face.
Leia raised her eyes lazily and asked with a smile, "Brother, there are no bullets in the Vulcan gun...... Oh, you can directly use a gun with spiritual power, right? My brother doesn't have me in his heart, can he shoot accurately?"
Her expression was a little gloomy, and her clear red eyes reflected the muzzle of the black hole.
"Leia Corion, don't push me. Little Sissel said indifferently.
"What a mistake I made in the past, you couldn't even pinch me, now ......" Leia's voice was coquettish, but after a pause, she immediately changed her face: "For the sake of a Yu Patriarch who doesn't love you at all, you actually pointed a gun at me." ”
She stood up unhurriedly and walked straight out the door.
"I'm here to say goodbye to you today, I was thinking...... Maybe we'll see you again someday," Leia's back trembled a little, her voice suppressed her crying, and she continued, "I didn't think my brother wanted to see me again. In that case......
"I'll give you a chance," she choked up, stepping out, "You can shoot me before I get off this tower." However, if you let me go this time, I will ...... later."
"I am your enemy, Jensen Sissel. ”
"My bounty is your employer, and I have to be your enemy, brother. ”
"Please, shoot me......"
