Chapter 159: Extremely Smart
Not afraid of thieves stealing, afraid of thieves worrying, Leo's feelings about these words are not ordinary deep.
Being targeted by a stalker, how sad it is to say this can only be understood by personal experience. All day long, I have to guard against knives that I don't know where to stab, and the nerves of the whole person are tense every day, afraid that if I relax a little, I will be seized by the assassin who doesn't know whether it exists or not.
Leo was secretly glad that he was a warlock, because the hellhound summoned by the warlock had the ability to see through stealth, and as long as he let it follow him every step of the way, his safety was still guaranteed.
"At the current pace of the army, it will be a day and a half before we can get back to Dammod."
Verry obviously saw Leo's exhaustion, it was three days ago when he encountered the assassination of the four undead stalkers, and in the past three days, Leo has been like a taut string, pulling tightly and never allowing himself to rest, even a legendary powerhouse can't bear it like this.
Rubbing his eyebrows vigorously and exhaling deeply, Leo finally knew why so many strong people were assassinated by the stalker. Being stared at in the dark, maybe you can stick to it for a day or two without making a mistake, a month or two months is fine, but what about a year or two or even longer? As long as the assassin is patient, he will always wait for the opportunity.
If you don't die in assassination, you will pervert in assassination. Either you're used to being on the lookout for sneak attackers all the time, or you're killed, no wonder Pasonia said that dealing with the adventurer's guild's bounty hunters is part of what you have to do to become a powerhouse.
Looking at the sky in the distance, Leo asked Verri an irrelevant question, "Veri, are there goblins in the wetlands too?" β
Verry followed Leo's gaze, and saw nothing but the fog, and he replied with a strange expression: "There should be, those green-skinned dwarfs will be there wherever they have money." β
"Transporting orcs by airship is also a goblin-run project?"
Leo's words made Verry very nervous, could it be that the orcs and goblins reached an agreement to let the goblins use airships to help the orcs transport troops over to assist the army of the undead?
Giving Verry a reassuring gesture, Leo said, "Don't worry, it looks like it's just a group of dragonthroat orcs trying to escape from the wetlands, but an old friend has been found inside." β
Friends? Verry didn't understand who Leo was referring to, but his heart was settled, it wasn't the orcs of the Kalimdor continent who were just some dragonthroat orcs who wanted to leave the wetland in a goblin airship, and it wasn't a big deal. It's not uncommon to travel long distances in a goblin airship, but Verri has heard of it, and as long as you pay a price that impresses the hearts of goblins, these green-skinned dwarves with only gold in their eyes will let you go up.
I didn't expect that the orc hunter who could be transformed into a half-dragon was still alive, how could I forget the hunter's fake death, if I had cut off his head at that time, no matter what kind of fake death you didn't have, let him become a real death.
I was assassinated before, and now I see a person who thought he was hanging up and still alive, Leo pouted his lips very unhappily, depressing things always appear in pairs, and this world is really bleak.
In the sky of the wetland, on a goblin airship that was gradually rising, a group of dragon-throated orcs silently looked at the wetland that disappeared into the fog, their faces full of gloom.
A leader-like dragonthroat orc clenched his fists and swore secretly: I will be back.
Without the support of the 1,000 people of Ganeg, Tug's power in the tribe was greatly reduced, and the already disadvantaged Tug was in an increasingly difficult situation, coupled with the fact that the forces that originally belonged to Goldrick's men were subdued by the Overseer Maluk Dragonscale, Tug decided to take a group of diehards to the orc kingdom of Kalimdor with a group of diehards.
A raven flew around the goblin airship twice, then croaked and flew off into the distance.
Looking at the sky from afar, as if watching the Dragonthroat Orc leave, the corners of Leo's mouth swept up a slight arc, looking forward to meeting you again, Dragonthroat Orc.
When you meet the enemy again, it is very red-eyed, on the contrary, you are naturally very happy to meet your friends.
Dammod, the city occupied by humans, today welcomed a group of soldiers who went out to fight.
"Young man, you're doing a great job." Inside the town hall, Major Link patted Leo on the shoulder.
He already knew about Leo's trip to the Angry Fang Camp, and Link couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself that he had sent Leo, a legendary warlock, to replace them, and most of the others would have suffered heavy losses when they encountered the Wetland Swamp Beasts, not to mention the front and back attacks of the thousands of orcs and three thousand Black Iron Dwarves when attacking the Angry Fang camp.
"Thank you for the compliment, Major."
Sometimes someone is still very humble, but trouble doesn't stop you just because you're humble.
A provocative voice came into Leo's ears: "You are Leo?" I've heard of you. β
Leo followed the sound and saw a human man in a mage robe pointing at him, his large bald head that could be used as a light bulb made Leo can't help but look twice. What a unique hairstyle!
"I heard that you guys are lucky, and you actually fell in love with that female thief of the Assassin Corps. Haha, the little white face is popular. β
Leo motioned to Link, "Who is this guy?" β
Link spread his hands and spoke disrespectfully in front of his colleagues, this guy clearly didn't give himself face, and the major was obviously very dissatisfied with the bald man: "This is Lord Chask, Baron Leo." β
Leo could hear Link's displeasure with the mage named Chask, otherwise he wouldn't have specifically mentioned the titles of the two in his introduction.
What's the best way to deal with a nasty guy? Beat him, scold him, or kill him? No, it's neither. The best thing to do with such a guy is to ignore him.
Because of this, Leo didn't pay any attention to Chask's provocation, he just nodded indifferently, and his expression was not the slightest different from hearing someone introduce him to an insignificant little person.
It's not that cats and dogs need to be bothered. Leo didn't say anything, but his demeanor conveyed such a message very clearly.
Chask's face immediately turned red, which was infuriated. Ever since he had successfully become a noble mage, no one had ever treated him with such an attitude, and he had wanted to provoke Leo instead, but he was angered by Leo.
"Major, how is the situation at the Sador Bridge? I've heard that you're going to organize a counteroffensive. If that's the case, be sure to let me participate. β
Leo, who ignored Chask, asked Link to fight, and how could he be without him Leo in the first battle of the initiative to counterattack the undead?
"You rest for two days first." Link patted Leo on the shoulder, "I already know about your assassination, young people should pay attention to protect themselves, I don't want any accidents to happen to you." β
"It's okay, I'll try to relax for the past two days."
Leo shrugged his shoulders, it was because he was assassinated by the undead stalker that he wanted to participate in the battle against the undead, but the combination of work and rest was also necessary, which would make him feel better.
Chask saw that Leo was only talking to Major Link, and didn't even look at him, so he opened his mouth angrily: "Hey, boy......"
"Shut up!" As soon as the mage opened his mouth, he was shouted at by Leo, and the sudden rebuke made Chask angry.
Leo waved his hand, made a gesture of catching flies, and said in an impatient tone: "The conversation between the nobles, irrelevant personnel get out of the way. β
"You ......," the veins on Chask's head burst out like writhing earthworms.
Is a lord considered a nobleman? Perhaps in the eyes of the common people they were lords of extremely high status, but in the eyes of the real nobles they were nothing, not much different from the status of the commoners, because the lord was not really recognized by the upper nobles. In the eyes of the nobles, the so-called lord was nothing more than a trick to fool the commonersβthey could reward the commoners for their merits, but they would not let the untouchables really step into high society.
Chask shuddered with rage, but Leo and Link laughed triumphantly. Link deliberately pointed out that Chask was a lord, didn't he just want Leo to take advantage of the difference in titles between the two sides to teach him a lesson?
Leo is a very sensible young man. Link laughed like a fox stealing a chicken, he didn't deny that he was using Leo, after all, he still had a place to use Chask, so he couldn't just tear his face with him, so he had to play tricks like killing people with a knife.
Leo smiled on his face, but he couldn't stop slandering in his heart: Link, an old fox, has a loyal appearance, but in fact, his stomach is full of bad water. But Chask's stupid hat is also self-inflicted, who let him have nothing to do with himself?
In Chask's opinion, the smile on Leo's face was a mockery of him, which made him angry, and he opened his mouth to shout at Leo, "Boy......"
"Boy?" Leo interrupted Chask again, pointing to the rank insignia on his chest and yelling at Chask, "Do you have the guts to try again?" Has no one taught you what to call someone higher than you in the military? Or do you think you're special enough to be above the kingdom's military law? β
Looking at the insignia on Leo's chest representing the knight lieutenant, Chaske called a depressed. He had the rank of knight, exactly one rank below Leo's knight lieutenant. As the saying goes, the official level crushes people to death, and in the face of Leo Chask, who is a rank higher than him, even if he is full of anger, he can't say a word.
The mage gritted his teeth, and finally popped out two words: "Sir." β
"What did you say?" Leo plucked out his ears, and he looked like I didn't hear clearly.
Chask took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the anger in his chest, and said loudly, "Sir." β
Leo flicked his nails, glanced at Chask, and said impatiently, "I don't have any energy at all, be louder." β
Chask's face turned blue with anger, Leo was clearly playing with him, but the other party's military rank was indeed higher, and he could only accept it.
"Sir!"
Chask was completely roaring this time, and the sound was so loud that the guards guarding outside thought that something was happening, and hurriedly looked inside the town hall.
"Okay, it's not that I can't hear clearly, why are you so loud. Isn't it great to have a loud voice? Leo pursed his lips, he gave a military salute to Link and then turned and walked out of the town hall, leaving a sentence at the end, "I heard that mage is a profession that only smart people can achieve, and now I see that it is really good, it is really smart, haha, extremely smart." β
Brilliant and clever?
The officers in the town hall looked at Chask with strange eyes, and they were about to say that they were looking at Chask's bald head.
Extremely clever, the word Leo is used brilliantly. In Chaske's almost frantic look, a group of officers were secretly laughing at the bald head of a certain mage, even the head of the mage who was supposed to be on the same side as Chaske. From this, it can be seen how bad Chask's popularity in the army is.
