"I know, all of this...I understand. But you still help us now, no matter what, in my heart...thank you very much."

Leon's words made Jean Barr pause for a moment, raised his head and smiled at the other party, and then Jean Barr stood up and bowed to Leon again.

"Okay, okay, the matter is not over yet, let's say thank you after the dust settles. My help will be paid, so you should relax and accept my help now."

The heavy atmosphere made Leon a little uncomfortable. He smiled and waved to Jean Barr, and Leon waved his hand and called out several cakes on the table.

"...I understand."

After listening to Leon's words, Barr got up and sat back in his seat, staring at the cake on the table for a while, and finally Barr couldn't help but looked up at Leon.

"What's the matter? Eat it quickly~ This is the most delicious dim sum in the royal family. One bite will definitely make you addicted."

"Oh, thanks."

Just as he was about to say something, Leon interrupted him instantly, his lips squirmed a few times, and Barr finally picked up a piece of snack and ate it.

The taste of the dim sum was really good. After finishing the dim sum, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and Barr raised his head to look at Leon again.

"That... can I ask what the reward is first? That way I can prepare in advance."

"Remuneration? You don't need to prepare this thing. The reward I want is not material things."

"...Then what do you want?"

Material rewards are easier for Barr to prepare for. Hearing Leon say this sentence, Barr's heart sank instantly.

"What I want... is you, Richelieu, and all the members of Iris."

"What... what!?"

Leon's answer was like a bolt from the blue to Jean Bart, could it be that...

Leon wants to turn everyone into his exclusive item and do this and that! ?

"Don't be so surprised. Since you've heard about my deeds from Bai Ying, you should also know what I've been busy with lately, right?"

"Hmm... I know a thing or two. Wait, maybe..."

The rapidly diverging thoughts were instantly brought back to reality by Leon's words. After thinking for a while, Barr suddenly realized.

"Yes, that's what you mean. Next, I'm going to the royal family to complete this matter. When I finish my royal tour, I will go to Iris to solve Richelieu's problem in person."

After that, Leon smiled and took a sip of tea from the teacup, put down the teacup, and looked at Jean Bart quietly like this.

Let Barr need a certain amount of time to think now, and Leon doesn't mind letting her think more about the consequences of rejecting him.

However, regardless of whether Barr refuses to reject himself, Leon will eventually eliminate the influence he left on Richelieu.

After all, defending against His invasion is Leon's main duty now.

However, after that, Leon will make decisions based on Iris' choice.

If Iris is willing to unite, then everyone will be happy, but if the other party accepts the help, they still have to put on all kinds of airs...

Then Leon doesn't mind cooperating with the sirens to give them some color.

Chapter 501

"Huh~ Maybe, these are all predestined things? Before this, I didn't believe in the so-called fate, nor did I believe in the so-called gods. But, judging from the current situation, I can only believe in these things now .”

As if he was desperate, but also as if he had figured everything out, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Finally, Jean Barr raised his head and looked at Leon with an open-minded expression.

"However, after Richelieu returns to normal, the leadership of Iris will return to her again, and then..."

"It doesn't matter, your attitude can only represent yourself, and I will do the rest. I will let Richelieu realize the reality. You can rest assured about this."

Pulling out his influence is Leon's unique skill. With the lessons learned from Marco Polo, Leon feels that he should be more handy this time.

"That's it... I understand, I will wait for you in Iris with peace of mind."

Seeing that Leon has said this, Jean Barr can only choose to obey now.

In the face of beings stronger than her, Jean Barr had no room to maneuver.

"By the way, since the flowers I gave you will wither every day, I'll give you more this time."

Now that the matter has been negotiated, Leon can now spare no effort to help Iris, waved his hand again and took the three flowers in his hand, leaned closer to smell them, and then Leon handed them to Jean Bart.

"Three...?"

"Yes, you keep two of them, and you can come here to get them after they wither; the remaining flowers... you can give it to Richelieu for me."

"To Richelieu?"

Looking at Leon with a puzzled look, Barr finally nodded without asking why.

"After giving the flowers to Richelieu, you can observe the changes in Richelieu again. If her condition improves, please let me know in time."

"I understand, but what reason should I use to give her flowers?"

"It's very simple, you just need to say...you got the response from the gods, and the gods asked you to give this flower to her."

......

After a brief exchange with Jean Barr, Leon sent him back to the real world.

Immediately afterwards, Leon also woke up from his sleep.

"Good afternoon, master."

Opening his eyes again, what Leon saw was not the familiar white ceiling, but the front armor exuding a pink luster. Looking along the source of the sound, Leon saw that he was stroking his head. head maid.

"...Is it already noon?"

Glancing at the smiling Befa, Leon shifted his gaze to the front armor again, turned his body slightly, and lay on Befa with his face as a pillow on the front armor.

"Yes, master. Frederick and the others have already told me what happened. It was really hard for you last night~"

Gently pressing the back of Leon's head to make him more comfortable, while speaking, the head maid pulled the quilt aside and covered herself and Leon.

"You already know..."

"That's natural. Since I have decided to serve you, I must try my best to know everything about you. Speaking of which, until now, we haven't done those intimate things~"

As soon as the words fell, the quilt covering the two of them began to squirm, and after a while, Leon raised his head and looked towards Belfast.

"Are you comfortable? Master."

"It's... a little comfortable."

"Is it just a little comfortable? It seems that Befa is not doing well enough~ In this case..."

After getting Leon's response, Belfast changed his posture and got into the quilt directly. After a while, some dull voices came from under the quilt.

"What we were going to do last time was interrupted by Her Majesty the Queen, and now is an opportunity to make up for it. Perhaps the service in Belfast may be a little rusty, please forgive me."

After all, the quilt that had recovered its calm once again had layers of waves. Before Leon could react, his body had already responded to the head maid very honestly.

......

after an hour.

Stretching refreshedly, under the service of the head maid, Leon finally got up from the big soft bed.

Although it was just a simple service, Leon still felt physically and mentally satisfied now.

Stretching his limbs and stretching his waist, after getting dressed, he sat at the dining table and looked at today's lunch.

"Beff, let's have lunch together."

The lunch brought by the headmaid was very rich, and the dishes on the plate were all Leon’s favorite food. Seeing that the headmaid was about to start cleaning the room again, Leon got up again and walked behind Bepha to hug him. she.

"Hehe~ Thank you for your kindness, master. However, before I came here, I had already had lunch with my companions from the maid group. Besides, including what happened just now, you have already consumed a lot of energy. If not much Eat something to replenish your strength, and you will fall asleep on the royal steamer tomorrow."

Without refusing Leon's act of hugging him, he turned slowly and put his hands on Leon's shoulders. Immediately afterwards, Belfast tiptoed and kissed Leon's lips lightly.

"Be good~ Master, obedient masters will be rewarded~ When we return to the royal family, I will give you a big surprise."

Seeing that Leon didn't seem satisfied, Belfast stretched out his index finger and poked Leon's lips with a smile.

"Really? What kind of surprise?"

"It is precisely because of the mystery that surprises can be called surprises. Master, you should stop asking the bottom line. Moreover, if you don't hurry up to eat, you won't have time to enjoy lunch in a while."

"Huh? Why is that?"

"Because...Her Majesty and Miss Hood are coming to see you soon."

"Find me?"

Looking at the head maid in his arms suspiciously, Leon slowly let go of his hands when he saw that she raised an eyebrow at him.

"Why are they looking for me at this time?"

After walking to the dining table and sitting down, he poked a fork into the steak on the plate a few times, and finally Leon couldn't help asking the head maid about it.

"I don't know, maybe...Her Majesty the Queen wants to learn about Miss Hood's treatment progress from you? Or is it to obtain the list of entourage for this trip?"

"Personnel list... By the way! If you don't tell me, I almost forgot about it. I haven't figured out which iron-blooded ship girls I will take with me on this trip!"

Last night's wedding dress appreciation meeting almost made Leon forget the most important thing. He quickly took a few mouthfuls of food, and Leon got up again, walked to the desk and sat down.

"Master, I think it's better for you to finish your lunch before thinking about these things. If you can't, you can also think about it at night. Anyway, our departure time is tomorrow afternoon."

"It's okay. I still eat very fast. Besides, I have already thought about the entourage. Now I just need to think about it a little bit."

He waved his hand indifferently, sat on the chair, and Leon began to think about which ship girls he would take with him on this trip.

Needless to say, Chongying and Beilian, these wedding ships must follow me. Their purpose of traveling is to follow me, and it is not appropriate to keep everyone in Iron Blood.

As for the Sardinian Empire, Leon has already made a decision. He plans to take Zarabola and Marco Polo to the royal family this time, and the rest of the ships...just stay in the Jagged Port area for now.

Now, the most important choice is the candidate for the Iron-Blooded Ship Girl. Before that, Leon had already promised Z23 to take her to the royal family, and the Iron-Blooded Marriage Ship would not go with him this time, so...

The remaining candidates...

Just decide on these three people.

Looking at the candidate list on the table, after pondering for a moment, Leon finally took out a pen and circled the names of the three ship girls.

"...Erbing, Seydlitz, and York, master, are you only taking these ships with you this time?"

While Leon was thinking about candidates, Belfast stood silently behind him and helped him massage his shoulders. Seeing that Leon had marked these names on the paper, the head maid stopped slowly. The movements of your own hands.

"There is also Z23. I will take these four in the iron-blooded camp. The rest are Sardinia, Beilian, and Sakura. There are quite a lot of people."

"That's it, I understand."

Nodding thoughtfully, Belfast began to move his hands again.

"Speaking of which, why did you only choose them? I remember the ship girls who were built with them and Emden and the others..."

Leon's selection criteria, Befa, probably understood a little bit. These newly built ship girls haven't known other camps yet. Taking them out this time can be regarded as broadening everyone's horizons.

However, no matter how you look at this number of people, it seems that it is not enough...

"Oh, that's right, I want to take them to the royal family with the ships that were built at the same time, but Emden and the others have recently been assigned a mission, so I can only take Elbin and the others together. .”

After Leon went to the royal family, the Jagged Port area still had to operate as usual, and the builder's core data tower needed to be built, so he could only keep Emden and the others here temporarily.

"Is that so..."

Nodding his head, after listening to Leon's explanation, Belfast didn't ask any more questions.

......

After lunch, Shabai also took Hood to find Leon as promised.

As the head maid said before, Shabai came to Leon this time mainly for two things, one is the progress of Hood's treatment, and the other is the list of people for this trip.

After all, Silly White now also needs to ask the Royal Headquarters to make arrangements. Leon is not only the leader of Iron Blood, but also a benefactor who has helped the royal family. They have to hold a grand welcome ceremony for Leon's arrival.

After these things are finalized, all that is left is to pack the luggage and arrange work and other trivial matters.

After Leon and Frederick finished handing over, the time also quietly entered the night.

I'm leaving tomorrow...

Leon still remembers the scene of leaving Iron Blood last time, especially the mood at that time, the pain of leaving his loved ones...

He no longer wants to experience it a second time.

However, the current situation is very different from before. Leon sneaked away last time, and the other iron-blooded ship girls didn't know about it; this time, he will leave here as the leader of the iron-blooded ship. .

However, Leon is still a little sad now.
