095. Licking the Dog?
Although the bearded and fat men on both sides didn't know why the leader did it, after a moment of hesitation, they also attacked Levi with their swords!
Levi had been vigilant against the redhead, and the moment her body exerted force, Levi had already noticed it, and while retreating quickly, the source force fluctuated, and several icicles shot straight at her face!
"Be careful!"
The bearded man reminded him, only to find that two icicles had given up on the redhead and turned in the air and came straight for them!
Poof!
Two dull flesh thumps sounded in succession, and the ice pick pierced the bearded man and the fat man's chests respectively, and the force on them also made the two of them take a step back.
The red-haired woman was much more agile than the two of them, and dodged the two ice picks that shot at her face in a difficult side position, but just as she wanted to approach Levi again, she heard two blows in the air behind her, and she could only roll forward in embarrassment, and the two ice picks instantly shot into her position.
At this time, the other people in the camp also reacted, and more than a dozen people immediately rushed over, but at this time, Levi held an eighteen-centimeter-long ice pick in his hand and aimed it at the smooth neck of the red-haired woman.
"How much gold do my brute brother give you to deal with me, I can give you double. ”
Feeling the slightest coolness coming from the ice pick, the red-haired woman threw out a sentence.
Levi didn't answer, and the icicle pressed against her chin, lifting her face up,
"Just now, you want to kill me, what do you want me to believe?"
Mastering language magic was just a blunt assignment of language to Levi, and it would take more practice to master it, so much so that Levi was still a little stuttering when he spoke.
"You are my brother sent ten, I must kill you first, I can't kill you now, I can hire you. ”
"I can tell you, you tell the truth, I don't know your brother, I'm just a wandering mage who got lost and was forcibly brought back by your men. ”
The red-haired woman was a little surprised, and turned her head to look at the bearded man who was holding up his chest, and her eyes were full of questions.
"Boss, we didn't say he was a spy, we just wanted to bring him back for you to check......"
"Shut up!"
She really wanted to get rid of these two guys with one knife now, and brought people back without figuring it out, how could such a mute mage suddenly appear here, and at the same time be easily caught by them!
Now the other party can obviously speak!
"If this is a misunderstanding, I apologize to you, and I'm sorry, Your Excellency. ”
The red-haired woman didn't want to offend a mage, and her tone softened a little, "My name is Caterina and I am the eldest daughter of the Ryan family, I can compensate you if you want." ”
"I don't have any malice, I accept your apology, and you can talk about the compensation you said, but you should let all these people back away first, right?"
Caterina waved her hand, and the people around her hesitated for a moment to slowly put away their swords, but they still stared at Levi as they retreated.
"Very well, in that case I will not break my word. ”
Levi casually tossed an ice pick aside and rubbed the water against Katarina's coat, "My name is Levi, and I'm also interested in your story, maybe we can talk more about it." ”
He was not only interested in the story of Katarina, but in the affairs of this plane.
......
Caterina's conditions here are really rudimentary, she wants to treat Levi but she doesn't have anything at all.
Fortunately, Levi didn't care about these things, and after a long and detailed conversation, the two of them initially relaxed their guard against each other and sat together in the open space outside the tent.
Caterina then took out a cloth bag from the tent and sent it to him.
"Your Excellency Levi, there are three hundred gold coins in total, which is compensation for offending you. ”
Levi took the bag handed over by Caterina and weighed it, it weighed about four or five catties, and it seemed that the gold coin she was talking about should be only the size of a thumb cover.
The gold coin was of little use to Levi, and he put it aside a little carelessly.
And Caterina's face was a little ugly when she saw his movements, and she had also heard that many mages didn't care about money, but magic crystals containing magic and all kinds of strange materials.
"I'm sorry Lord Levi, but I only have so much for now, and I will give you enough compensation when I regain the family's territory. ”
Levi smiled, this Caterina said this obviously to tie him into her camp, but it did not conflict with Levi's goal.
"This kind of thing can be talked about later, let's talk about your story first. ”
Caterina nodded, her affairs were not a secret, everyone here knew about it, so she told Levi without reservation.
This plane is called Kenriwa, and his Levi is located in a southern mountain range called the Takagi Empire.
The Lane family is a hereditary baronial family in the Takagi Empire that has been inherited for hundreds of years and owns territories, and her father Radmond is the successor to the previous title, Baron Radmond.
Caterina also has a younger brother named Celt, who is now the nominal heir of the family, and she originally thought that Levi was a mage sent by Celtic.
"What is a nominal heir?"
"Because he killed his father and usurped the family's title!"
Caterina angrily slammed her fist into the stake beside her, and the fist was immediately cut by the uneven wood.
"Celtic poisoned my father's food when I was not at home, and after killing my father, he wanted to use the family crest to imitate his father's will, but he didn't expect that his father had already hidden the family crest and put it together with the family basement, and only I knew that location. ”
Caterina's mother died when she gave birth to her, so Baron Radmond doted on her and never restrained her with rules.
Because she didn't control her, she liked to fight since she was a child, and under the teaching of the territorial knights, she became more and more powerful, and no one conquered her in her twenties, and even many men were conquered by her, so as to form a mercenary group similar to the nature of mercenaries.
She hasn't lived in the family for a few years, but she didn't expect to hear such news all of a sudden.
"Celtic was trying to trick me back and force me out of the basement at my father's funeral, but it was the housekeeper who secretly sent someone to tell me the news, so I was able to escape. ”
"The two who offended you were the ones who informed me, the bearded one was Waller, and the fatter one was the blacksmith's son named Booker. The rest are the brothers I was willing to stay with the mercenary group before. ”
Levi looked at the people around him, about thirty or so, counting the previous sentry posts there were less than fifty people in total, and his strength generally hovered between three and four levels.
However, it was pointless to talk about the number of Caterina's subordinates alone, and he then asked for details of the Lane family's territory, and the results surprised him.
This is a highly developed sub-plane, and the Lane family, as a territory owned by the hereditary baronial family, is suitable for living hundreds of square kilometers, with a population of more than 100,000.
Rammond had three knights for life, nine knights of the family, a standing army of eight hundred, and a militia in every town.
"Since your brother inherited the baronial title, how many troops did he take over?"
"Only one knight has sworn allegiance to Celtic now, and the remaining two have not responded because they have not received the family crest. ”
The knighthood is the most powerful force of the nobles, and in order to meet the qualifications for the title, there must be at least a strength of level 8 or above, and the actual level or above
