After the questioning, Roy walked out of the room amid friendly thanks and farewells from the clerk and several Lulian officials...
Standing on the covered bridge leading from the main building of the military camp to the camp wall, looking into the distance, it was already evening. The clouds in the sky were like torn cotton wool, half like fire and half like ink under the reflection of the setting sun.
The sound of wheels and horse hooves could be heard downstairs.
Roy turned his head and saw several worried noble lords walking out of the main building. After a brief conversation, they each got into their carriages and drove out of the camp.
Roy stared at them thoughtfully, and did not look back until the sound of the carriage's wheels disappeared outside the camp gate.
Among these luxuriously dressed nobles, he recognized Mrs. Joyce at a glance. Although he could not name several other nobles walking beside Mrs. Joyce, they had also attended Archduke Adolf's ball.
I have seen them before. They are all famous figures in Lulian.
And these people appeared here at the same time, obviously coming for the attack that just happened.
Just as I was thinking, there was a sound of footsteps behind me.
"Is the interrogation over?" Avery walked to Roy's side, glanced at the clerks and criminal law officials who were discussing in the window, and asked. "It's amazing, he fought off four of them by himself.
Knight of Glory.”
"I heard that the two people we captured were also due to him. It seems that he is not yet twenty-five years old, right?"
"What twenty-five, at most twenty-two!"
"Look at his identity document, he is also a noble. Look at the coat of arms, it is not the Ferdinand family in Sinasili."
"Let me take a look, well, if I remember correctly. This is an ancient family from the Roman Dynasty. There has been no news for a long time. I didn't expect that there are such powerful children."
"This is not strange. Haven't you noticed that many family heirs who had no news before have appeared."
"……."
"It seems that everyone is very curious about you." Avery smiled and said, "Is the Ferdinand family the black-maned lion family of Baginia?"
"Oh?" Roy asked in surprise, "You know?"
Leo's name and identity were prepared by Austin for Roy.
The family of Count Ferdinand, the black-maned lion of Baginia, is very old. It was one of the families that migrated to the Land of Redemption during the final battle. It once rose up in the Baginia Plain in the middle of the continent during the War of Warcraft, and later surrendered to the
The Roman family was one of the founders of the Roman dynasty. However, in the middle of the Roman dynasty, this originally prosperous family declined sharply because several core members suffered accidents or died of illness one after another. Even in terms of fertility, it declined.
Something went wrong. The newborn either died young or was frail and sickly.
Even if he barely grows up, he has no talent.
In the late Roman Dynasty, when the empire was in turmoil, the descendants of this family lost the protection of the royal family and were unable to protect their territory. They gradually sold off their family properties and finally disappeared from people's sight.
Later, when Austin was investigating the truth of the final battle, he discovered that the Ferdinand family was actually a member of the Apocalypse Alliance and one of the Golden Tongue families.
Through searching, he found the last generation of heirs and brought them to his territory.
This man was Austin's captain of the guard during his life, but after his death he was transformed into a lich and has been following Austin. When Roy came out of the battle, he finally took action.
Since the death of the last direct heir of Ferdinand, the Black-maned Lion family has been declared extinct. The family's heraldry books and noble certification documents have remained in Austin's hands until now.
When preparing for Roy to return to Redemption Continent, Austin chose the Ferdinand family as Roy's identity cover.
First of all, everything was in Austin's hands, and it couldn't be easier to forge his identity. If Roy's own bloodline was put aside, and only based on the heraldry books and identity documents, this could even be said to be true.
Even the Heraldry Academy must recognize it.
Secondly, the physical characteristic of this family is black hair.
Moreover, as a member of the Apocalypse Alliance, the golden tongue crest of the Ferdinand family will help Roy contact those people who have never given up on exploring the truth for hundreds of years.
The invasion of the demons has made Austin feel that the truth of the final battle may not be far away.
What Roy didn't expect was that Avery also knew about this family that was submerged in the long river of history. This was unexpected.
"I've heard of it before, but this time, I looked up the coat of arms after reading your testimony." Avery confessed.
Roy smiled and said nothing.
This is easy to understand. As the deputy commander of the Knights of the Munich City Guard, it would be a dereliction of duty if he did not even know the identity of the person he brought back.
"It's been a long time since I heard any news about the Black-maned Lion family," Avery said. "Are you... living as a mercenary now, or..."
"Mercenary." Roy took out his mercenary nameplate.
This mercenary nameplate was originally registered by him at the Meiding City Mission Hall. It only has the number and level, and other personal information is completely confidential.
Especially after he shocked Meiding City with his brand-new magic pattern, his mercenary information has been upgraded to SSS confidentiality level, and even the higher-ups of the Mission Hall have no right to access it.
"Level 3 mercenary," Avery looked at Roy's mercenary nameplate speechlessly and said with a wry smile, "You must not be serious about this profession."
Indeed, since he was promoted to the third level mercenary in Meiding City, Roy has never taken on a mission. Without missions, there are naturally no points. The mercenary level has always stayed at the same level.
In Avery's opinion, with Leo's strength, even if he took on some random tasks and completed them leisurely, he would be at least an intermediate mercenary of level five or above within a year.
And now he is only a third-level mercenary, obviously he does not really rely on this profession to make a living.
Roy was a little embarrassed and turned to look at the camp gate. He changed the subject and said, "By the way. I saw several great lords of Lulian just now. Are they here for this case?"
Avery nodded.
"Did those two people explain," Roy asked, "who instructed them to do this?"
"It's the Barno family." Avery said solemnly, "Do you know this family?"
Roy nodded and said, "I've heard of it."
"Originally, I shouldn't have revealed these things to you, but this is also what General Fano meant." Avery said, "You have heard of the Bano family. You should know that this family has always used unscrupulous means to retaliate. These two
After all, you captured the individual, and you killed five of them, so we are afraid..."
"Revenge me?" Roy narrowed his eyes slightly.
Avery nodded and said: "There are many strong men in the Bano family. Its heir, Bano Jr., is still the commander of the Fifth Army. It is very powerful. Once they want to harm you, I am afraid that even we will not be able to protect you.
you."
"Oh?" Roy snorted and turned his head, looking unconcerned.
Avery smiled bitterly. Young people have such strength. Naturally, they are arrogant and it is normal not to listen. But what he didn't know was that somewhere beyond his sight, a cold light flashed from Roy's eyes.
"Could it be that they are the murderers of Tie Xiaomao?"
………………
………………
In the west district of Munich, an old castle from the Roman Dynasty is located on a hillside by the lake.
The castle covers an area of more than a thousand acres, with quiet and dense woods on the outside and a large flat and open grassland in the center. From the air, it looks like a huge green carpet.
The main building of the castle is located in the center of the green carpet. Groups of fully armed guards patrol back and forth. On the high wall, huge armor-piercing crossbow arrows flash with cold light. Looking around, this beautiful and literary place has a strong atmosphere.
The castle is like a well-guarded fortress.
In the study on the third floor, Bano's face was ashen. Next to him, seven or eight nobles were sitting or standing with different expressions. In front of him, five knights covered in blood and stains were standing with their heads bowed.
These five people were the five criminals who escaped in the South Gate attack.
After a long time, Bano slowly said: "So of the twelve people, two were caught on the spot, five were killed, and you are the only ones who ran back?"
"Yes, sir." The leader of the Glory Knight said bravely.
"Huh!" Bano snorted angrily, stood up, and strode in front of the five people. He looked at them one by one, then back again, and finally gritted his teeth and cursed: "Trash!"
The five people lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.
"General Barno," in the silence, Marquis Ashley, who was sitting on the sofa nearby, stood up and said, "We should come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible."
He walked up to the five people and waved his hand to signal them to go out. Seeing that the door of the study was closed by Bano's knights, he turned back to Bano and said: "Since the person has been caught, Adolf will quickly
You will know that we did it..."
"So what if you know?" Bano signaled the attendant to pour a glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, his eyes flashed, "Didn't Adolf know what we did before? Humph, wasn't it just an attack on a group of dwarves?
Food team? He fell out with us because of this?"
"But don't forget, General," Marquis Ashley said, "When we attacked the dwarves before, Adolf could turn a blind eye because we did not offend him. Now we have committed an offense in Munich.
His taboo is gone. If we don’t give an explanation..."
Bano waved his hand and sneered: "Explain? In the past, I might have given Adolf some face. But now, do I need to give him an explanation?"
He walked back and forth for a few steps, looked at Marquis Ashley and said, "Don't forget, the Prime Minister and Edward have completely turned against each other now. We and Adolf can't get along at all. The reason why he turns a blind eye is because
It’s because we are not the only ones who have ideas against those aliens, and he can’t afford the public outrage!”
"And now, since he has captured our people and taken advantage of us, do you think he will let it go?" Bano sneered, "Huh, I'm afraid he is thinking about how to deal with us now! He won't give up on such a good opportunity.
Let it go. Besides, even if he wants to let it go, our competitors will push him from behind."
The nobles all nodded and whispered among themselves.
Marquis Ashley thought for a while and asked: "General, what do you mean..."
"The person he captured is not mine!" Bano said calmly.
Don’t admit it? The nobles looked at each other with indescribable expressions. After all, sacrificing a Dragon Moon Mage and a Glory Knight is nothing to the Bano family or them. As long as they bite
Not even Adolf could do anything if he refused to admit that those two people were related to him.
The Bano family has always been good at this kind of unreasonable style of play.
However, after all, this is related to the issue of face. You may not admit it, but everyone with a discerning eye will know what is going on. If those two people are tried and hanged in public, then it will be in full view of the Bano family and people like me.
A slap in the face!
Besides, what will the people below think when they see it?
"This..." Marquis Ashley frowned.
"I know what you are worried about," Bano said, "but if they want to touch our people, they have to figure out whether they can afford the price. Before that, I will give them a warning... Hey,
A little mercenary got involved in such a storm and tried to kill our people without knowing whether to live or die!"
With that said, Bano said to the attendant: "Let the black snake come in."
When they heard this name, the nobles were all shocked.
After a moment, everyone felt that the temperature in the study room seemed to have plummeted by more than ten degrees. Then their eyes blurred. A man wrapped in a ragged cloak appeared silently in front of Bano.

"Find the mercenary and kill him. Hang his body on the south gate wall!"
