"It seems that I have become a thorn in the eyes of many people now." Looking at the corpses on the ground, Leo sighed subconsciously.

"But they may not have expected the young master to be so cautious," Captain Cary said, rubbing his head.

Indeed, the weak nobles may only bring one or two servants with them. After all, soldiers can just camp outside.

Entering a small town and staying in a tavern is another expense. It only costs one and two payments. If you take a few more people along the way, the expense can be said to be huge.

However, affected by the memory of his past life, Leo still prefers big scenes. Even when entering such a small town, he always brings a guard of more than a dozen people.

Perhaps ordinary nobles would be laughed at if they behaved this way, but at this time Leo was actually a marquis in the kingdom!

This status is enough to change a lot. For example, some small and medium-sized nobles even plan to imitate it. They believe that this is a reflection of status.

Of course, Leo had no intention of saying anything about this kind of nobles who follow the trend. If they have more money, let them do it.

Of course, looking at the corpses here directly alarmed the mayor of this small town. This was an ownerless town and was under the direct jurisdiction of the kingdom.

"Oh my god, is this the legendary bounty hunter?" Some bold townspeople whispered. Obviously, for this rather remote town, bounty hunters only appear in their novels and biographies.

"Dear Sir, I am the mayor of this town. How can I help you?" The old mayor also 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 background of this nobleman in front of him?

"My Lord Marquis just met a group of people without eyesight. Don't worry, just be honest." Captain Cary on the side adjusted his armor, then stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

Lord Marquis!

Immediately, all the townspeople were shocked. The Marquis, among the nobles in the kingdom, was really at the forefront.

These ordinary townspeople don't know what real nobles and palace nobles are, but even the palace marquis is an existence they can't imagine.

Such a big shot unexpectedly came to this small town!

All of a sudden, all kinds of news spread, and the only tavern in the town was surrounded by layers of guards.

"What a big show, you need so many guards to live in a tavern," one of the townspeople looked extremely surprised.

"Let me tell you, these guards are not ordinary. I'm afraid even one person can pick the guard team of our town." In the town, the townspeople who have served in the service smacked their lips, "These are at least the seventh level.

The Lion Realm’s armed infantry.”

Seventh level!

Suddenly, there were waves of exclamations from the townspeople again, seventh level, the highest ranking guard captain in their entire town was only fifth level!

But this lord's bodyguards all started at the seventh level? This is too scary!

Of course, with the retired soldier's eyesight as a town citizen, it was naturally impossible to see through the cultivation of these guards if they were wearing casual clothes.

However, these guards are all wearing standard armor. Anyone who has served in the army knows this common sense.

"That, that's it!" Immediately afterwards, the town citizen seemed to see something, his eyes widened with disbelief, "The Lion Knight, turned out to be the Lion Knight!"

There was an uproar all of a sudden...

"You read that right," many people whispered in disbelief. The Lion Knight is a legend of the kingdom and the protagonist of countless biographies.

When the townspeople heard this, they were even more in awe. The rumored lion knight could actually be the guard of such a big shot!

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but feel their hearts tremble. Even the drinkers in the tavern lowered their voices a lot, and some drunkards who were drunk were even louder.

Bei was held tightly by his companions, fearing that he would do something terrible in a moment of excitement.

Just like that, the town was rarely calm for a night

"No trace of his whereabouts at all?" Leo asked with a slight frown.

"Sir, we forced the mayor to search all suspicious places, but we still didn't find anything," Captain Cary looked a little downcast.

"It's impossible for a group of people to lurk in the town without making any noise. If they provide a reward, they will be rewarded thirty dinars for any information. Even if the people related to them don't tell, the neighbors can always provide some information."

Leo said speechlessly, "The townspeople colluded with some people, and the mayor may not know about it."

Well, he really can't expect these rough and tumble men to be comparable to the Kingdom's Patrollers. They specialize in the arts. Although the Patrollers' combat duties are weaker, they are better than the Lion Knights in some things.

It works a lot.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!" Captain Cary patted his head, smiled, and ran away.

"Everyone, please listen carefully. My lord, I know that some of you are colluding with those bounty hunters..." Captain Cary's loud voice over there, coupled with the blessing of fighting spirit, instantly reverberated throughout the town.

middle.

This idiot... Leo couldn't help but stroke his forehead, a little speechless.

Fortunately, someone quickly chose the bounty, but the information they got was quite limited.

"You mean they might have come from the east?" Leo frowned slightly. He thought the other party was from the Royal Capital. After all, if someone from the Royal Capital wanted to kill him, then the killer would most likely come from the Royal Capital.

"Yes, their feet are stained with black and yellow mud. It is the mud of the Kerr Forest in the southeast. I have been collecting medicinal herbs all my life, and I will never admit it." The old doctor's hands were covered with dirt, and his words were filled with emotion.

exact.

southeast……

Leo frowned slightly, as if he had guessed that this direction, the Nakel Forest, was the straight-line distance from Baron Lot to this village. Could it be him? Or, on this road, was the Viscount Poole Territory?

Leo asked himself whether he could be related to these two people. Viscount Poole seemed to have a good relationship with the Ike family, but he was not a close friend. At this time, they were afraid that it would be too late to cut off the relationship with the Ike family.

As for such a powerful Marquis who dared to hire someone to kill him.

Or is it?

The Snake Cult? It shouldn't matter much. The power of the Snake Cult is so terrifying. If we really want to deal with him, this bounty hunter seems a little helpless. Leo seemed to be lost in thought again.

Watching the team leave the next day, the whole town had just returned to its original calm. Looking at this long team, there were two people in black on the mountains in the distance, who seemed quite unhappy.

"Well, let me tell you, it's definitely not easy to kill this Leo. He's just a bounty hunter. We might as well dispatch a team of python knights to kill him forcefully." A man in black said angrily.

, "Now that's good, I even gave him gold coins!"

"Hmph, a team of python knights, you put it lightly, how can it be that easy!" The other person snorted coldly, "Besides, if you want to bring a team of python knights here, other places don't need it? What can you do if you have this capital?

No, if you use it to kill a newly promoted marquis, you might have something wrong with your brain."

"Oh, but this Leo is really awesome. He is so afraid of death. Going into a small town with so many people, twenty or so bounty hunters, it will definitely be useless." The man also sighed softly.

One voice said, "It's such a pity."

"I'm really afraid of death, which makes me speechless." The man in black's mouth was filled with a hint of speechlessness. This situation must have happened when the war was in full swing. Now there is such a peaceful situation, and a group of guards around Leo

Not leaving the body is truly speechless.

"Forget it, he was unprepared, and now he has been assassinated. I'm afraid that the guard force will be stronger in the future. At least the assassination path will not work."

"But to be honest, this Leo's marquisate is stuck in a crucial place, and Ulric is really insidious." The man in black said with a strong sense of disgust, "Rebellious

If the imperial army wants to invade the royal capital, it cannot avoid Leo's territory.

How does this Ulric claim to trust Leo? Hum, this is a trap to death."

"I never thought we would one day join forces with those rebellious empires," another person said with a sinister smile.

"Hmph, let them fight first. When they are disabled, it will be a good time for us to harvest the battlefield," the low laughter echoed in the huge forest, making the already dark forest look even more gloomy.

Of course, these two men in black also guessed that there might be a lion knight in Leo's team, so they stood extremely far away from each other. On the high mountain, they used special breath-condensing techniques. Even if Wen Te
