"Have you heard? An intermediate Knight appeared in Mawa City with an elf and an underage mount wolf. That's a huge fortune." The news began to spread in Mawa City, and the more it spread, the more exaggerated it became.
There were some mercenary groups in Mawa City. These groups were usually regular mercenaries, but sometimes they would act as bandit groups to do some business without capital. These mercenary groups also received the news, but most of the mercenaries gave up the idea after hearing that there was an intermediate Knight. Some of them couldn't fight against an intermediate Knight, and some of them didn't dare to attack a noble's convoy. But there were always some bold guys who attacked a noble for gold.
"Sir, an intermediate Knight appeared in Mawa City with an elf and a small mount wolf. They also brought a lot of wealth." The head of the Wild Sand mercenary group in Mawa City, Advanced Warrior Hume, received the news.
"An elf is worth tens of thousands of gold coins. Legend has it that a small mount wolf can no longer recognize another master. There is also a lot of wealth. I don't know how much it is!" Advanced Warrior Hume was calculating whether he could do this business or not.
If you want to kill a noble Knight, you must do it very cleanly. You can't leave any evidence behind. Otherwise, if the noble arbitral tribunal found out afterwards, you would be hunted down endlessly. But recently, the mercenary group had lost some people in the last mission. Just the compensation alone was enough to make him anxious. This business could at least earn tens of thousands of gold coins, which really made him very tempted.
It was just an intermediate Knight. As an advanced warrior, Hume didn't think that he would be much worse than an intermediate Knight. Plus, with the other members of the mercenary group, it wouldn't take much to deal with an intermediate Knight.
"Let's do it!" Advanced Warrior Hume began to mobilize his men, ready to do a big business.
… … …
Unlike Harvest City, where the military and political power was in the hands of Viscount Dickens, most of the military power in Mawa City was in the hands of Captain Knight Hopkins. He and the city lord had separate power and jointly controlled this big city.
In the mansion of head commander Hopkins in Mawa City, head commander Hopkins was listening to his men's reports and listening to the recent rumors. When he heard about the little mount wolf, he couldn't help but laugh, "My dear friend came to Mawa City, but he didn't come to my place as a guest. It's my fault."
He turned to the butler and said: "Butler, send someone to find out who spread the news and who dares to act against my distinguished guest."
While he was talking, a chill flashed in the room. The butler and his men couldn't help but shiver. According to the butler's understanding of Captain Knight Hopkins, at this time, Captain Knight Hopkins already had the intention to kill. He just didn't know the origin of Captain Hopkins's friend. Just some rumors made Captain Hopkins want to kill him.
On the one hand, Captain Knight Hopkins really wanted to make friends with Abel. Having a young blacksmith and a genius Knight as a friend, whether now or in the future, would be extremely beneficial to himself and his family.
On the other hand, in front of Viscount Dickens and Knight Lowell in Harvest City, Captain Knight Hopkins had just promised that if Abel came to Mawa City, he would treat him well. If Abel was attacked in Mawa City, regardless of whether the attack was successful or not, it would make Captain Knight Hopkins lose face. When he met the two Knight Chiefs in the future, they would definitely ridicule him.
"Yes, my master." The butler bowed and retreated.
In the seemingly calm Mawa City, a storm caused by a Lord's momentary pleasure was quietly blowing. The intelligence system, which was originally used for the military, was quietly gathering a large amount of information to the Military Intelligence Department at this moment. The various channels that the sheriffs usually couldn't get were quietly gathering a large amount of information to the Military Intelligence Department.
At this moment, Abel was leisurely drinking a master's essence condensing potion. He had drunk nearly 70 bottles of master's essence condensing potions along the way. No matter how good the drink was, he would feel a little nauseous, let alone a potion. Although this master's essence condensing potion was upgraded to master's level, the taste didn't change much.
Abel was now very experienced in drinking potions. He poured it directly into his throat to minimize the stimulation of the potion on his tongue.
He slowly enjoyed the potion as it began to spread in his body. The pale golden combat qi in his body had become more and more intense after five days of continuous compression of master level essence condensing potions. With the intensity of the golden combat qi, every time the golden combat qi washed over his body, it would greatly improve his physical fitness. In these five days, Abel had felt that his physical strength had significantly improved compared to before. Although there was no way to accurately measure his strength, he was sure that it had increased by more than 10%.
Lorraine, who was sitting on the side, was a little curious about what Abel had been drinking along the way, but since Abel didn't explain to her, she was smart enough not to take the initiative to ask. She just quietly looked at the street through the window.
Feeling that the potion in his body began to work calmly, Abel opened his eyes and saw Lorraine looking at the street with some yearning. He couldn't help but feel a little funny. No matter what kind of woman, even an elf girl like Lorraine, had a strong desire to go shopping.
"Lorraine, can I invite you to accompany me to look around Mawa City?" Abel said to Lorraine.
Lorraine's mouth curved slightly, and she nodded happily and excitedly.
When Abel walked out of the inn, not only did he take Lorraine, but Black Wind also stuck to him. Since he took Black Wind with him, Abel simply took six Knight attendants with him. No one knew what the naughty guy Black Wind would do if no one was watching.
It was getting late, and the temperature was not very hot. It was a good time to go out, and Mawa City had begun to be lively.
Abel, who thought that Lorraine did not know how to ride a horse, was going to travel in a carriage. After asking, he found out that Lorraine, as an elf, was born to be able to communicate with most animals. Riding a horse was a common thing for elves.
During the tour, Abel also found some strange things. When he left the inn, he found that someone was following him, but soon the person who followed him was taken away by force. Because Mawa City was a very strange city to him, he did not think much about it. With his growing strength, he did not care about these trivial things.
During dinner, Abel and Lorraine had returned to the inn. Although it was a short tour, it still made Lorraine laugh a lot. During dinner, she could not help but talk to Lord Marshall about everything she saw in Mawa City.
Early the next morning, just as Abel and Lord Marshall were ready to go, a loud voice came from the door of the inn, "Master Abel, you came to Mawa City without telling me!"
Although there was a sense of blame in the voice, everyone could hear that it was a conversation between friends. When Abel heard the voice of Knight Captain Hopkins, he felt a little strange. He did not tell him that he came to Mawa City, how did he find him?
"Captain Knight Hopkins, why are you here?" Abel walked a few steps quickly and came to the door of the inn. Sure enough, Captain Knight Hopkins was standing at the door of the inn waiting for him.
The bustling street in front of the inn should have been full of people in the morning, but at this moment, the whole street was silent. Only Captain Knight Hopkins and dozens of guards behind him were standing in the middle of the street.
"Master Abel, I'm here to see you off!" Knight Hopkins laughed, then pointed to the things covered with cloth on the ground behind him and said, "These are some of the troubles I've solved for you."
With a wave of his hand, several attendants pulled the cloth away. There were several piles of human heads on the ground.
Lorraine, who was behind Abel, could not help but be shocked. She approached Abel, and Abel gently pulled Lorraine behind him.
Black Wind was now facing the heads on the ground, showing his sharp teeth and making a low whining sound.
Abel looked at Captain Knight Hopkins with some confusion. Captain Knight Hopkins pointed to the first head and said, "This is Lord Tuttle. He was killed when he resisted arrest because of a premeditated attack on a heraldic noble."
Abel recognized this head at a glance. It was the noble who showed malice when he first entered the inn yesterday. He did not expect to be killed today. As for resisting arrest, Abel would never believe that a nobleman without any martial arts would resist the arrest of a captain Knight. This was just an excuse made by Captain Knight Hopkins.
Then he pointed to the second pile of more than a dozen heads and said, "These are Lord Tuttle's men who spread the news of your arrival and great wealth."
