Chapter 236 My Brother is Leon
Chapter 236 My Brother is Leon
Leon had already made up his mind. Unless a wizard apprentice had special skills or memories, he would not lower his standards...
If nothing unexpected happens, only official wizards will be qualified to become his consumables in the future.
Thinking of this, Leon suddenly felt that maybe he should let the people around him improve their strength, otherwise it would be useless to ask them to help him...
Leon once had this idea: he wanted to set up a "capture team", set the criteria for the prey, and then send the capture team to capture it...
For example, if Leon wanted to learn a certain skill but didn't want to waste time studying, he could simply ask a renowned teacher to come into his head and provide him with one-on-one tutoring...
Sometimes Leon couldn't help but sigh that he was becoming less and less human now than when he first crossed over...
At the beginning, Leon thought he was quite kind. When he did something, he even felt guilty and made up excuses for himself... (Refer to Blue Lake Town, etc.)
Knowing that Leon had other plans tonight, Nash glanced at Dick and said tentatively: "Dick, why don't we leave now? After all, Brother Leon still has..."
Before Nash could finish, Dick stood up suddenly.
"We walked!"
Leon: "..."
After all, Dick still had a layer of window paper in his heart, so before this last layer of window paper was broken, he still felt a little uncomfortable around Leon.
At least it doesn't look as good as Nash...
This is why others mistakenly thought Nash was Leon's younger brother...
Some of Leon's habits that were ingrained in his bones had not changed, and he almost instinctively wanted to keep Dick.
"Are you leaving now? Sit a little longer, stay for food..."
Leon quickly stopped, then somewhat awkwardly walked Dick and Nash to the door.
Seeing Leon being so polite, the two of them were suddenly flattered.
When they walked out the door, they kept looking back.
……
"Dick, I envy you."
Dick was stunned, looked at Nash with some confusion and said, "Envy me? Envy me of what?"
"Of course I envy you for having a good brother. Unlike me, I have to fight alone, and my family can't help me much..."
When Dick heard Nash say this, he didn't know how to respond for a moment, but he was happy in his heart.
"Don't say that, we're all the same..."
"Nonsense!" Nash curled his lips, "Not at all!"
Nash pointed at the space ring on his hand and said, "Look, how can this be the same!"
Perhaps feeling that this wasn't convincing enough, Nash added, "Apart from anything else, the reason you dared to bet on Brother Leon is because you were sure he could win..."
Dick was speechless because that was exactly what he thought.
Nash looked back at where Leon lived.
Looking up from the bottom, Nash felt that the location of Cave 77 was... very high!
He had seen and climbed many mountains, but none of them could compare to the cliffs of the Black Bone Forest...
"Dick, you have to listen to Brother Leon. If I were you, I would definitely wish everyone knew that I was Leon's younger brother. That way, no one would bully me, and they would even try to please me!"
Seeing Dick remained silent, Nash continued:
"Dick."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Nash chuckled and said, "Do you want to make a bet with me?"
Dick was instantly alert. "What bet?"
"You decide whether to bet or not first!"
"Tell me what you're betting on first!"
Neither of them gave in, and the stalemate lasted for about a minute. Nash sighed softly.
"Humph! Look! If you didn't have a good brother, I wouldn't let you!"
"..."
Nash rolled his eyes at Dick and then told him the bet.
"Believe it or not, there are at least five people waiting for you at the door of your house?"
Dick frowned, "Wait for me?"
Nash didn't answer, but continued to ask, "How about a bet? If there's no one, you win. Hmm... How about this, if there are people, but less than five, you win too. How about that?"
As he spoke, Nash deliberately raised his eyebrows, trying to arouse Dick's "fighting spirit".
"Dick, you have a great chance of winning. What are you waiting for?"
Dick was silent. To be honest, he had already believed it when Nash said it, but since it was a bet, there was no harm in playing it for a bit.
"Okay, I'll bet you."
Dick exhaled a breath of foul air, then reached out to stop Nash who was about to move forward. "Let's bet on this first. What are we betting on?"
"Hmm..." Nash thought for a moment and said awkwardly, "Well, we are good brothers. I don't think there is anything to bet on. How about this, if you win, I owe you something.
Likewise, if I win..."
Seeing Nash was halfway through his words, Dick continued without much thought: "If you win, I owe you something too."
Nash nodded heavily, "Okay! Let's do it this way..."
Dick stretched out his hand to interrupt Nash, "But let me make it clear first, this must be something I can do, and I must be willing to do it. You can't make me do something I don't want to do."
"..."
Nash was confused. Something was wrong. How did Dick become so smart?
Who is giving him advice?
It shouldn't be Brother Leon, so it can only be...
cousin!
Damn! That Sheila Oakwood is quite active...
However, their bet today is basically a promise for the future, and promises... to many wizards, are just a piece of waste paper.
It is precisely because most wizards do not care about the "waste paper" of a promise that there is a "contract" that must be fulfilled.
But Nash had only heard of the contract and had never seen it.
Even his parents and grandfather had never seen it. In their family history, only the ancestor who had initially followed the King of England to conquer the world had seen it...
"Nash!" Dick saw Nash in a daze and couldn't help but remind him.
"Hmm? Ah! Okay! That's it!"
Dick felt a little relieved when he heard Nash agree immediately.
At the same time, his admiration for his cousin also grew a little more...
Cousin Silas actually guessed it right. Although it was under the guise of a bet, Nash really made a similar request.
Perhaps this is why Leon asked me to keep an eye on Nash?
……
The two of them had their own thoughts and chatted intermittently along the way.
Soon, Dick's cabin came into view.
Just as Nash said, there were indeed people waiting for them, and the number was far greater than five. One circle, two circles...
Dick took a quick look and saw there were thirteen people!
Both Dick and Nash, who had expected this, were a little shocked to see so many people.
Among these thirteen people, there are fellow countrymen from the Weiss Continent who came with them, as well as a few new faces, and no one knows why they are here.
The crowd, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Dick and the other man coming back, and quickly surrounded them like sharks smelling blood.
"Dick!"
"Nash!"
"Brother Dick!"
The Nash Brothers...
Various names came one after another, making Dick a little confused for a while.
At this time, Nash's role is highlighted.
Nash quickly took two steps forward, standing in front of Dick, and shouted, "Everyone! Quiet down! We just got back, please let us pass!"
Before he finished speaking, someone immediately joined in, saying, "Right, right, right! Let Brother Dick go first! Everyone, make way!"
Nash quickly caught the clever guy who joined in the conversation. Hey! They were from the same hometown again, so Nash didn't bother to be polite with them and directly instructed them, "You go greet the new friends first!"
"Brother Nash, don't worry!"
……
Dick was practically dragged back to the cabin by Nash. After closing the door, Nash immediately said to Dick, "Don't agree to anything they say later."
"Ok?"
“They are all here to see Brother Leon, so no matter what they say, don’t agree.”
Dick nodded. "Why not just drive them all away?"
After thinking about it, Dick realized that there were two witches among the thirteen people just now, so he added, "Those two witches stay first?"
Nash: ...
You are such a good brother...
"Whether to keep them or not...isn't for us to decide...Pah! Stop making trouble! We can't agree to these people's requests, but we can't chase them away either!"
"Then what do we do?"
“Talk to them, and then send them away.
Dick, you are the younger brother of Brother Leon, so you need to control your attitude. Don’t be too enthusiastic, but don’t be too serious either.”
Dick felt a little troubled, but Nash had already seen through his thoughts, so he quickly said: "Don't take it lightly. These people may be Brother Leon's helpers in the future!"
"Assistance?"
Nash nodded. As the saying goes, one should put oneself in others' shoes. Through Leon's attitude towards him, Nash has concluded that Leon will definitely develop his own power in the future.
However, he couldn't be too absolute about this kind of thing, otherwise what if Dick told Leon the truth and caused Leon's dissatisfaction...
With this concern, Nash glanced at the wooden door, as if he could see the crowd waiting outside through the door.
"We don't know what Brother Leon's specific attitude is about this, so let's be conservative for now. We won't agree or refuse. We'll wait until tomorrow or when we meet Brother Leon, and then we'll ask him specifically."
Dick thought what Nash said made sense, and agreed after a little thought.
Moreover, he was worried that he could not handle so many people and hoped that Nash would help him.
Nash seemed a little embarrassed. He waved his hands repeatedly and refused: "Me? I can't! You are Brother Leon's younger brother, they only trust you!"
Dick shook his head, "It's okay! I'll tell them that you're just like me, working for my brother!"
Nash raised the corner of his mouth, “This… well, as long as it’s for Brother Leon, I’m willing to do anything!”
If Leon was next to him at this moment, he would definitely sigh.
Dick is a complete greenhorn next to Nash (a newbie, a rookie)...
Seeing Nash agreed, Dick also became happy, "Good brother! Leave it to you!"
Dick was a man with his own territory, after all, so the first lesson he learned was… leave professional matters to professionals…
Just like his cousin, he not only has to help him manage the camp, but also has to pay attention to Leon's movements and even "blackmail" Leon.
Thinking of this, Dick couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Moreover, his territory back then…both in terms of location and economy, was better than Leon’s Blue Lake Town…
It's decided! When I get back, I'll give them all to Leon!
Regardless of whether Leon wants it or not, he has to show his feelings anyway.
At this moment, Dick himself did not realize that there was a layer of window paper in his heart...
Before I knew it, it disappeared.
The two chatted for a few more words, then Dick took a deep breath and opened the door.
Dick's first words caused cheers from the crowd.
"I'm Dick and my brother is Leon!"
Nash, who was standing behind him, was so surprised to hear this that he almost tripped over himself at the door!
What the hell? Bro, you weren't like this in there just now...
"My brother is Leon", these five simple words made everyone excited.
"Great! It's Brother Dick, I'm saved!"
"Brother Dick! I want to hang out with Leon!"
……
Dick thought it was a bit noisy, so he quickly reached out and put down the noise.
He learned this trick from his father. Whenever there was a quarrel at a family meeting, Ivers would do the same.
This gesture from the father was very effective and the scene soon quieted down.
"Everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you all. Now that you're here, there's no need for me to introduce myself.
That’s right, my brother is Leon, cough cough cough…”
Dick coughed lightly, then pulled Nash aside and introduced him:
"This is Nash, from the Frostwolf clan of the Weiss Continent. I know everyone is here for my brother Leon..."
Before Dick could finish, two fellow villagers shouted, "Brother Dick! We want to follow you!"
Dick was delighted when he first heard such fresh and unconventional words, but he was not stupid and he quickly reacted.
These two people said they wanted to follow him, but wasn’t it because Leon was standing behind him?
The reason I said this was just to get closer to him.
Although Dick felt disgusted, but thinking of Nash's instructions, Dick still smiled and said, "My brother is Leon, you guys shut up and listen to me!"
Nash on the side: ??? !!!
Brother, you make me feel strange, really...
……
At this time, Leon didn't know that a new Black Bone Forest force headed by him was born quietly.
Moreover, the timing is just right.
The College Cup was in full swing, and soon they would be attending the celebratory exchange dinner tonight, so no one paid much attention to Dick.
