"General Jason? I don't think we've ever offended this person. "Han Jin glanced around," Do you know him? "
"I've only heard of his name." Léger said.
"Forging master?" Keely suddenly stood up and asked in a stern voice, "Is that forging master called Villar?"
"Miss … Are you familiar with Mr. Villar?" The one-eyed man said with a trembling voice. At this moment, his body began to sway slightly. It was obvious that his spirit was close to collapse.
"Familiar! Of course! "Qi Li gnashed her teeth and said," I'll never forget him! "
If Villar had just absconded, Qi Li would never have hated him so much. But Villar killed people first and then escaped. Her nature had completely changed.
"When did Villar become an adult?" Han Jin shook his head.
The one-eyed man still wanted to explain, but suddenly he felt darkness in front of his eyes, and his body fell down softly.
"Do you know that Villar?" Léger asked.
"You'll know when you see Qi Li." Han Jin said softly, "Now I'm wondering, it seems that we don't owe Villar anything. Where did he get the courage and reason to trouble us? "
"There are all kinds of people in this world." Morrisons said angrily, "We should have killed Villar at that time!"
"Since you said so …" Léger paused, "Then he can't be kept alive." Léger kicked the one-eyed man.
At this moment, Sunier came in from the outside. Han Jin asked, "Where have you been?"
"I waited outside to see if anyone else followed us." Sunier glanced at everyone's face, "What's going on?"
"We used to have an enemy …" Han Jin described the experience in detail, and finally added, "Villar should have escaped directly to the West City, and then met General Jason. It seems … he should be very important here."
"Is Villar's forging level very high?" Sunier frowned and asked.
"Yes." Qi Li nodded.
"That's understandable. Such a forging master will be valued no matter where he goes." Sunier sighed.
"My suggestion is … we should leave the West City and go to the Ninth Town. My friend is there, and he will protect us."
"I remember we talked about this issue before. Aren't you worried about bringing trouble to your friend?" Han Jin said.
"But do we have any other choice?" Léger smiled bitterly, "You're my friend, too. I think he will be very happy to meet you."
"What's your friend's name? Is he very powerful? "Sunier asked.
"My friend is Ronning. He's a grand knight and the captain of the Riptide Regiment's First Cavalry."
"Riptide? Lang Ning? "Sunier was surprised.
"Riptide headquartered in Beit City?" Morrisons also showed a surprised look.
"Is there any other Riptide in Beitman?" Léger smiled.
"As the commander of Riptide … I believe he can protect us." Sunier pondered, "But, how do you know him? Are you close friends? "
"He and I are playmates who grew up together."
"How is that possible?" Sunier said in a doubtful tone, "When I was in Wild Willow City, I read the information about Riptide. Lang Ning is the most dazzling new star of Riptide. This person is tenacious and has strong military accomplishments. He was appreciated by the former commander of Riptide, Conrad. He publicly said that Langny was his ideal successor. What's more, Langny is the son of the former deputy commander of Riptide, Benedict. You're his playmate?"
"Is there a problem?" Léger asked.
"You … you're Léger?" An idea flashed through Sunier's mind. She suddenly remembered an inconspicuous introduction she had read that day: "You are the son of Captain Conrad? The guy who didn't do his job and caused trouble since childhood? "
"Miss Sunier, I'm not that bad …" Léger didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You're really Conrad's son?" Sassoux asked. Judging from his expression, he should have heard of Conrad's name.
"You can lie about this?" Léger asked.
"Then I don't understand. You're Conrad's son, why would they dare to do anything to you?" Sunier asked.
"My father passed away a few years ago, and … you don't understand."
"If I don't understand, then no one here can."
"You …" Léger was stunned. He felt that Sunier was a bit too arrogant.
"Twenty years ago, Sunier participated in a war. You should know about the Silver Pegasus Legion, right?" Sassoux smiled. Léger joined later, so he didn't know about Sunier's past. Sunier wouldn't talk about her past glory, so he had to repeat it, "It was during that war that Sunier became the true commander. In the end, she led the elves back to Wild Willow City safely."
This time, it was Reg's turn to be moved. The surprise attack launched by the Silver Pegasus Legion and the elven archers had become a model in military history. For more than a year, the Silver Pegasus Legion had traveled day and night, raiding everywhere, and slowly wrapping the noose around Lord Kassa's neck. Zagunéd wasn't the only one who studied and learned from that battle. His father, the commander of the Legion of Conrad, also had a very high evaluation of that surprise attack.
"I didn't think that there would be an elven hero here." Léger sighed.
"Alright, let's talk about you. Why did they dare to attack you?" Sunier said slowly. She didn't mean to pry into other people's secrets. Even the slightest change in the structure of the upper echelons would have a profound impact on the lower echelons. It could even change the relationship between the lords, policies, and so on.
"The four city lords all want the right to command Riptide. When my father was here, they didn't dare to act recklessly. Now … now, no one can stop them." Léger smiled bitterly, "When my father passed away, he gave an order for Lang Ning to be the commander of Riptide. In the end, they rejected it because he was too young and didn't have enough experience."
"Then who is the commander now?"
"No one." Léger shook his head, "They all want their own people to be the commander. In the end, no one has the upper hand."
"Léger, then why didn't you become a warrior? Why did you become a thief instead?" Sassoux asked slowly. In fact, he wasn't asking about his profession, but about his status and identity. In this world, it was natural for a son to inherit his father's business. Although Riptide wasn't anyone's private property, the situation was a little special. The four city lords couldn't suppress each other. Riptide wasn't controlled by the city lords. If the commander of the Legion of Conrad wanted to support Léger, the other city lords could only watch. Otherwise, the soldiers of Riptide wouldn't agree. However, it wasn't so easy to support an illegitimate person. Would the generals be convinced? They would even think that they were more suitable than Lang Ning! The commander of the Legion of Conrad chose someone else's child in the end. Things had become like this, so it must have something to do with Léger.
"Because my father's life was too tiring. I don't want to be like him." Léger didn't want to talk about these things. His tone was very slow, and there was something flashing in his eyes, "Scheming against the other city lords, worrying about the logistics of the army, ensuring the training, and when the Beitman was invaded, Riptide had to be the first to attack. It was too difficult to do all these things well … My father wasn't even forty years old, but his hair was already gray. He was a high-ranked Light Knight, a tenth-grade professional, but he was defeated by illness in his forties. Don't you think this is a big joke?" At the end, Léger smiled bitterly. Obviously, he had been brooding over his father's premature death.
"No one can deny that the commander of the Legion of Conrad was a noble and righteous Knight," Sunier said slowly.
"Noble? Righteous? Ha … "Léger suddenly became excited, but he immediately realized that something was wrong. He took a deep breath and controlled his emotions. He wanted to say that if he didn't see with his own eyes how his father's noble and righteous actions were rewarded, he wouldn't be willing to take another path. But it was meaningless to say these words. He didn't expect to be understood by anyone, and he was more worried about causing unnecessary misunderstandings. Therefore, he didn't say anything.
"Well, let's talk about ourselves." Han Jin saw that Léger's mood was not right, so he quickly changed the topic, "Sunier, what do you think?"
"Then let's go to Ninth Town. I've always been curious about this Lang Ning."
"I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed." Léger said softly, "I'll deal with this guy first, and then we'll get ready. We'll leave the west side of the city in two or three days."
"Leave again? Damn it … When can we settle down? "Morrisons shouted.
"You can't stand it anymore?" Sunier laughed.
"Stop! Sunier, I can't compare with you. "Morrisons shook his head.
Léger bent down and carried the one-eyed man on his shoulder. Then he slowly walked out of the room. Han Jin looked at Léger's back and said slowly, "At that time, I felt that Léger's family was not ordinary. I didn't expect that he had such an illustrious father."
"I've seen the evaluation of Léger in the intelligence reports. Haha … it was very bad. I felt sorry for Captain Conrad of the Legion of Conrad, but now it seems that the information may not be true." Sunier laughed, "Maybe … he did it on purpose to disappoint others? Or is there some other reason? "
"I don't understand." Sylvia asked curiously, "Did his father want him to be an official, but he didn't want to, so he deliberately did bad things to disappoint others?"
"Something like that," Han Jin said softly.
"He's not a good man!" Sylvia curled her lips, "A man shouldn't disappoint his family!"
"What do you know?" Morrisons shouted. Léger was at the door. Sylvia's words would hurt his feelings.
"I …" Sylvia was about to retort, but she was discouraged. She wanted to show her ladylike side. However, her gentleness was often based on her arched eyebrows, which was a bit strange.
Léger's face suddenly turned pale, but he didn't say anything. He just turned around and disappeared in front of the door.
