Chapter 105: Bounty Hunter
"It seems that I have become a thorn in the eyes of many people now." Looking at the corpse there, Leo also subconsciously sighed.
"But they probably didn't expect the young master to be so cautious," Captain Cary said, scratching his head.
Indeed, the weak and ordinary nobles may only bring one or two servants. After all, soldiers, it is good to camp outside honestly.
Entering the town and staying in a tavern is another expense, and it’s just a matter of one or two. It can be said that the expense is huge if you go all the way and bring a few more people.
However, influenced by the memory of his previous life, Leo still prefers big scenes. Even if he entered such a small town, he would bring a guard of more than a dozen people.
Perhaps ordinary nobles would be ridiculed for such behavior, but Leo at this time was the real marquis of the kingdom!
This identity is enough to change too much. For example, some small and medium-sized nobles even plan to follow suit. They believe that this is a manifestation of their status.
Of course, Leo has no plans to say anything about this type of follower nobles. If they have more money, let them make them.
Of course, looking at the corpse in this place directly alarmed the mayor of this small town. This is a town without an owner, and it is under the direct jurisdiction of the kingdom.
"My God, is this the legendary bounty hunter?" Some daring townspeople whispered, apparently for this seemingly remote town, bounty hunters only appeared in their novels and biographies.
"Dear Sir, I'm the mayor of this small town, may I ask how I can help you?" The old mayor also forcibly suppressed his inner anxiety and asked cautiously.
He couldn't be careless. Thirteen or four people were lying on the ground. Looking at the blood on the ground, what was the origin of the noble in front of him?
"My Lord Marquis just met a group of people who don't have long eyes. You don't have to worry, just be honest." Captain Kari, who was on the side, sorted out his armor, then stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
Lord Marquis!
Immediately, all the townspeople were also startled. Marquis, in the kingdom's aristocratic sequence, that is really the top existence.
These ordinary townspeople don't know what the field nobles and court nobles are, but even the court marquis are unimaginable existences.
In the small town, there is such a big man!
For a time, all kinds of news also spread, and the only tavern in the town was also surrounded by layers of guards.
"It's such a big shelf, so many guards are needed to live in a tavern," some townspeople looked extremely surprised.
"Let me tell you, these guards are not ordinary, I'm afraid that one person can choose the guards of our town." In the town, the townspeople who served in the town sighed, "These are at least the seventh order. The Lion's Realm Armed Infantry."
Level seven!
All of a sudden, there were bursts of exclamations from the townspeople again, Rank 7, their highest-ranked guard captain in the entire town is only Rank 5!
But this lord's guards all started at the seventh rank? This is too scary!
Of course, in the eyes of the townspeople of the retired soldier, it is naturally impossible to see through the cultivation of these guards, if they are wearing casual clothes.
However, these guards are all wearing standard armor, and anyone who has served in the military knows this common sense.
"That, that is!" Immediately afterwards, the townsman seemed to see something, his eyes widened, his eyes filled with disbelief, "Lion knight, it turned out to be a lion knight!"
Suddenly there was an uproar...
"You read that right," many people whispered in disbelief. The lion knight, this is the legend of the kingdom. I don't know how many protagonists of biographies.
When the townspeople heard this, they became more and more in awe. The rumored lion knight would actually be the bodyguard of such a big man!
For a while, everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. Even the drinkers in the tavern were much quieter, and some of the drinkers who drank too much were even more so.
Bei was held tightly by his companions, lest he would do something terrible when he was agitated.
Just like this, it is rare for the town to have a peaceful night.
"Can't find any whereabouts?" Leo asked with a slight frown.
"My lord, we forced the mayor to search for suspicious places, but we still didn't find anything," Captain Cary looked a little dejected.
"Then a group of people ambushing in the town, it's impossible for them to be silent at all. A reward is set up. Anyone who provides information will be rewarded with 30 denars. Even if people related to them don't tell them, the neighbors will always be able to provide some information." Leo said speechlessly, "The townspeople are colluding with some people, so the mayor may not know."
Well, he really can't expect these big hands and feet to be comparable to the kingdom's wind rangers. They specialize in art. Although the wind rangers are a bit weaker in combat, they are better than the lion knights in some things. Works a lot.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of it!" Captain Kari patted his head, smiled naively, and ran away.
"Everyone is listening, my lord, I know that some of you have colluded with those bounty hunters..." Captain Kari's loud voice, combined with the blessing of Dou Qi, instantly reverberated throughout the town. .
This idiot... Leo couldn't help stroking his forehead, feeling a little speechless.
Fortunately, some people soon chose the bounty, and the news that Naihe got was quite limited.
"You mean they might have come from the east?" Leo frowned slightly. He thought the other party was from the capital. After all, if someone from the capital wanted to kill him, then the killer would most likely come from the capital.
"Yes, their feet are stained with black and yellow mud, which is the soil of Kerr Forest in the southeast. I have been picking herbs all my life, and I will never admit it wrong." The old doctor's hands were covered with mud and dirt, and his words were full of exact.
Southeast…
Leo frowned slightly, as if he had guessed that this direction, Naker Forest, was the straight-line distance from Baron Roth to this town, could it be him? Or, on this road, the Viscounty Poole?
Leo can be related to these two if he asks himself, Viscount Poole, it seems that he has a good relationship with the Ike family, but it is not a fateful friendship. At this time, they are afraid that it is too late to clear the relationship with the Ike family As for daring to hire someone to kill such a powerful marquis.
Or maybe?
Do you worship snakes? The relationship shouldn't be too big. The power of the Snake Worship Cult is so terrible. If you really want to deal with him, this bounty hunter is really incapable of doing it. Leo seems to be lost in thought again.
The next day, after watching the team leave, the whole town just regained its original calm, but looking at this long team, there were two people in black on the distant mountain, which seemed rather resentful.
"How about it, let me tell you, it will never be easy to kill this Leo, just a mere bounty hunter, we might as well call a team of python knights to force him to kill him." Someone in black said angrily. , "That's it, I gave him gold coins!"
"Hmph, a team of python knights, you said it lightly, how can it be so easy!" The other person snorted coldly, "And then bring a team of python knights, don't you need it elsewhere? With this capital, what can you do badly, and use it to kill a newly appointed marquis, you are afraid that there is something wrong with your brain."
"Hey, but this Leo is really awesome. He's so afraid of death. Going into a small town with so many people, twenty or so bounty hunters, it's definitely useless." The man also sighed softly. "It's really a pity," he said.
"I'm really afraid of death that makes people speechless," said the man in black with a faint expression on his mouth. This situation happened when the war was in full swing. Now that there is such peace, there is a group of guards around Leo. Not leaving the body, it is really speechless.
"Forget it, this is when he was unprepared. Now that he has been assassinated, I'm afraid that the guard force will be stronger in the future. At least the path of assassination will not work."
"But to be honest, this Leo's Marquis is stuck in a critical place, and Ulric is really insidious." The man in black also had a strong disgust in his words, "Rebellious. If the imperial army wanted to invade the capital, they could not avoid Leo's territory.
How Ulric claimed to trust Leo, hum, this is a pit to death. "
"I never imagined that we would have a day when we would join forces with those rebellious empires," another person smiled sullenly.
"Hmph, let them fight first. When they are disabled, it's a good time for us to harvest the battlefield." The low laughter echoed in the huge forest, making the already dark forest even more gloomy.
Of course, the two men in black also guessed that there might be lion knights in Leo's team, so the distance between them was extremely far. Uncle didn't even notice that there were two people who were almost at one with the environment on the distant mountain.
