Ghosts and Knights [Rebirth]

After Layton cleaned up, Pei threw Layton on his horse and rode all the way to the east gate of Mona City. This is the main gate of Mona City and the headquarters of the gate guard army.

After Layton abused his authority to call out the morning entry and exit records, he looked with Pei Fan, but they couldn't find Lanza's name after looking back and forth three times.

"Pei, are you sure Lansa is out of the city?" Layton asked nonchalantly with a cigarette in his mouth.What is there to worry about?He has heard all about that Lansa can use tenth-level fire magic. Such a person can walk sideways in Nannarunduo, so what is there to worry about?That's why Pei Hui was in a panic because of Lansa's affairs. If he really complied with that sentence, if he cared about it, he would be in a mess.In a sense, Lanza's confession may be accepted.

"Not sure." Pei frowned and shook his head.He had no idea where Lansa might be going, but when he saw the note, he subconsciously judged that Lansa had already left the city. As for the reason for thinking this way, it was probably because of his accumulated understanding of Lansa over the years, but now Thinking about it carefully, he didn't know Lanza that well either. Could this judgment be wrong?If his judgment is wrong, does that mean that Lanza is still in the city of Mona?

"Stop, stop, stop using your brain." Layton rolled his eyes feebly, "You can only act on instinct, that head is already empty, no matter how hard you think, you won't get any results. "

"What did you say?" Pei turned his head and looked at Layton suspiciously.

Layton immediately threw up his hands in surrender.Oh, what a hard job it is to be friends with a bad-tempered man, and what a courageous and loving man he was, Leighton.

"If your first instinct is that Lansa is out of the city, then he is out of the city. Let's go, I'll go back to the Knights with you to have a long-term plan, and see if I can think of anything." Layton patted Pei on the shoulder, and put the The register is returned to the duty officer.

"En." Pei tightly held the note in his pocket, turned around and left with Layton.Although occasionally he wondered why he became drinking buddies with Layton, an unscrupulous guy, not to mention a friend who can share joys and sorrows, but he can confide in his heart, but at this time, he is still very grateful to his past self for making such a friend. A reliable drinking buddy.

"Master, you..." Dick, who has been working hard in the office, wanted to complain about Pei's irresponsibility when he saw Pei coming back, but when he met his eyes, Dick found that Pei's mood was a bit off. Sure, it wasn't like the exhilaration of being in love, but it wasn't the pain of rejection either.what's the situation?

"Hi, Dick, long time no see." Layton came out from behind Pei and greeted Dick with a grin.

"Good day, Captain Layton." Dick frowned annoyedly before greeting Layton.

"Pick out any documents that urgently need Pei's signature, and the rest will be delayed. Let's do it later." Did he provoke this unforgiving secretary?Why do you always look bored every time you see him?

"Captain Layton, please remember to remind the head of the group to deal with these documents before eleven o'clock." Dick looked at Pei who was sitting silently on the chair, and then at Layton with a playful smile. He gave up struggling and would have to Pick out the documents handled by Pei, and take the rest away by yourself.

There is a small door in Pei's office. Behind the door is a small room with only a desk. There is Dick's office where Dick should stay, but Pei feels that the room is too small and awkward, so he is in his own office. A desk was added for Dick, but occasionally Dick still had to go back to his cubicle.

"Sign the documents first." As soon as Dick left, Layton kicked Pei's desk.Didn't he get dumped by Lansa, why did he show such a useless expression?

"Do you think I'm in that mood now?" Pei turned his head to look at Layton.

"Do it even if you are not in the mood. You are the leader of the Knights. Didn't Lansa teach you what is responsibility?" Layton threw a document into Pei's arms, "Don't make things difficult for your secretary, the whole The secretarial department of the knight order, he is the hardest minister, because he has the most unreliable boss."

"Tsk! Sorry." Recently, Pei also knew that he had neglected his duties because his mind was full of things about Lansa, so he will make an apology to Dick later.Taking a deep breath, Pei forced himself to concentrate and read the four documents in just 10 minutes, and after thinking about the feasibility of the proposal, he signed his name on it.

Layton dragged a chair over to Pei and sat down.The people that the military department is looking for are really not mediocre. Even Pei, who seems to be the most unreliable, is definitely worthy of his position once he gets serious.

"Okay, tell me, when did Lansa come home?" Layton only knew a rough idea about Lansa, but if he wanted to know Lansa's current situation, just a rough idea might not be enough, right?

"On July 31st, after I finished my duty, I went to the Earl of Adonis's mansion as usual. At that time, Lanza was already at home."

"Is there anything out of the ordinary?"

"Unusual..." Pei began to recall, he was only happy and thankful that Lansa was safe and sound that day, he seemed to have neglected too much, "He brought two people home, Kabul and Cynthia, those two people Calling Lansa as the master, and Lanza seems to trust the two of them. And..."

"and?"

"And Lansa doesn't look that sad." Lansa will not cheat, nor will he lie. Whatever emotion he has in his heart, those eyes will express that emotion. No matter how he pretends, his eyes They are not deceiving, but Lansa's eyes did not have the intense sadness that he should have that day.So what was in Lanza's eyes that day?Pei tried his best to remember, but he still couldn't remember it. He clearly remembered the angle of Lansa's mouth raised, but he couldn't remember his favorite pair of eyes.

"The whole family was killed, and he was the only one who survived by chance. It only took him a month to recover from that kind of grief? I don't think Lansa is such a heartless person." Such pain, no one There is no way to calm down after ten or eight years, right?What's more, how could it be possible to have no emotions at all after escaping from the dead and returning to the old house?

"That's why I said it was abnormal." Even when he mentioned it a few times later, Lanza's reaction was not as intense as he imagined, and he was a little unnaturally calm.

"What happened after that? If there is anything abnormal, let's talk about it together."

"Lansa seems easy to get close to, but it is difficult to open up to others. However, he, Cynthia and Kabul should have known each other for less than a month. Apart from mutual trust, they have a tacit understanding. I even think that Kabul and Kabul Cynthia is the one who knows Lanza better than I do."

"It's hard to imagine someone challenging your self-confidence in this area." Lansa and Pei grew up together, and Pei knew everything about Lansa, from the friendship situation to the daily habits, but now, it suddenly appeared Two people who have known Lansa for only a month but know Lansa better than Pei, isn't that ridiculous?

"Lanza opened a weapon maintenance shop, but seems to have no interest in running it."

"Then why does he open a shop?" Layton was puzzled.

"I don't know." Pei shook his head. "I can only see Lansa at night. I don't know where his people are and what he does during the day." Pei sighed heavily.

"Pei, are you... are you sure that person is Lansa?" I always feel that Pei is talking about another person with him now, and Lansa will never do everything.

"Ah?" Pei turned his head and looked at Layton inexplicably, "Do you think I will mistake Lansa?"

"I don't think you will either. That's what happened in that month, which caused Lanza to change drastically. Have you asked Lanza what he experienced in that month?"

"I asked, but it was perfunctory. I only know that Lansa was rescued when his life was dying. Because he drank some kind of potion, the fire magic reached the tenth level, and his body also developed a little bit. There have been some changes.”

"Pei, although I really don't want to say that, you must have been cheated by Lansa, right?" How could it be such a coincidence?Lansa's life was dying, someone rescued him and gave him medicine, and the medicine was extremely effective, making Lansa's level soar all the way, and even his weak body became strong. These things are beyond common sense. , it can't happen at all, okay?He had never heard of anyone making such a powerful potion.

"Lanza won't lie to me." Pei was very sure about this.

"That is, Lansa subtly changed the story while promising not to deceive you." Layton shrugged, "Could it be that he wanted revenge but was afraid of hurting you?"

Pei was silent, because it was very possible.

"I don't think it matters. Now Lansa doesn't need anyone to worry about his safety. I used to think that you were a little overprotective of Lansa. He is much stronger than you imagined. Now Lanza doesn't need it. your protection."

"Do you want me to just watch?" Did he take everything for granted and ignore Lanza's changes?He didn't mean to underestimate Lansa, he just wanted to protect Lanza from the bottom of his heart, that's all.

"Do you want to change your character from a long sword to a shield?" Layton pouted.Although Pei is very suitable for the charge, the key issue is that Lanza does not need him to charge. The two people should have the same mood to protect each other.

"Shield? How to do it?" Pei looked at Layton blankly.

"Think about it yourself, idiot! Is he your lover? Anyway, you have to think about this matter yourself. Don't you want to do something for him?" Layton rolled his eyes.

"Thank you." Pei was silent for a long time before speaking again, sincerely expressing his gratitude.

"Don't be disgusting." Layton stretched out his hand and punched Pei's chest, "I will let the guards pay attention to Lansa's whereabouts, don't worry too much, he will be fine, he hasn't Heard your answer, didn't you?"

"Well, please."
