Captain Knight Kevin sneered and said, "These people actually wanted to attack my friend, Master Abel, in Mawa City. As punishment, I'll send their heads to you as an apology!"
Abel certainly knew that to be able to arrest all the participants in one night, and find the source of the incident, as well as the mercenary group that was preparing to attack, this required a powerful intelligence ability. And for this small matter, a lord was killed. Although there was a reason, Knight Kevin would be in a lot of trouble afterwards.
According to the usual way of handling things, as long as Captain Knight Kevin made a request to the aristocratic arbitral tribunal for a trial, then with Kevin's status, the aristocratic arbitral tribunal would certainly conduct a trial in a very short time. However, in order to solve this matter before Abel left Mawa City, Captain Knight Kevin directly killed a lord in the name of resisting arrest. Even if this lord was just an ordinary lord without a coat of arms, it was still a very troublesome matter.
"Captain Knight Kevin, I accept your kindness. Everything you have done for me shows that you are my true friend." Abel smiled and bowed. He straightened his body and continued, "I think the noble you will also accept a gift from a friend in return."
After saying that, Abel turned back to the carriage that was transporting the gifts, took out a fire magic sword from it, and extended his hands forward to Captain Knight Kevin.
Captain Knight Kevin hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, took the fire magic sword from Abel's hands with both hands, and said with a smile, "Your friendship makes me feel honored!"
This kind of gift of weapons between Knights was a traditional way for knights to make friends. When a Knight hands over his weapon to another Knight, it symbolized that the Knight proposed to become a true friend to the other party, and as long as the other party took the weapon handed over, the two sides would become friends like brothers. This ceremony was sacred. This kind of etiquette that had been passed down for countless years was the most stable foundation of friendship between Knights.
When Captain Knight Kevin took the weapon from Abel's hands, the two immediately warmed up. Captain Knight Kevin took Abel's hand and said, "Master Abel, I received the news that you came to Mawa City not long ago, so I didn't know what kind of gift to prepare for you."
Captain Knight Kevin clapped his hands, and ten black-armored soldiers came out from the guards behind Captain Kevin. He then said, "The situation in Bakong City is very bad now. You went there with too few people. These ten beginner soldiers are for you. Their life and death in the future is up to you."
Captain Knight Kevin waved his hand, and the ten black-armored soldiers walked in front of Abel. They knelt down on one knee and said to Abel in unison, "Master Abel, we dare to die for Master Abel!"
With a serious expression, Abel reached out and helped the ten black-armored soldiers up one by one. These black-armored soldiers were murderous. At first glance, he knew that they were veterans who had been fighting all year round. Of course, he would not refuse Captain Knight Kevin's kindness. The friendship between the two sides had just begun, and it was very normal for them to give each other things.
Captain Knight Kevin's generosity really surprised Abel. It was not easy to cultivate this kind of private soldiers. Looking at their age, they were about ten years younger than his twenty Knight attendants. To have this kind of strength at this age, it was certain that each soldier was selected from a few deaths.
Lord Marshall stood behind Abel and did not move forward. In front of Captain Knight Kevin, his status was too different. He just looked at Abel with a gratified smile on his face.
When Abel's convoy left Mawa City, all the mercenary groups breathed a sigh of relief. Because of Abel's existence, Mawa City was already in a state of panic. The mercenaries even had to be careful of eavesdropping when they spoke. Especially the mercenary groups that had inquired about Abel's whereabouts, they disappeared in Mawa City overnight.
The rest of the journey was uneventful. The guards of up to 30 beginner warriors and the coat of arms on the front of Lord Marshall's super ox cart effectively stopped the greed of those with ulterior motives. After twelve days of travel, the convoy finally arrived at their destination, Bakong City, the capital of the Duchy of Carmel.
Abel had never thought that there would be a city this big. The city wall was over 50 meters tall, and it was enough to make any attackers despair. Every few hundred meters, there was a cylindrical fortress connected to the city wall. When the team got closer, he realized that all the city walls were made of huge stones. There were almost no gaps between the stones. Just the city wall in front of him was enough to make Abel gasp in amazement.
The south gate of Bakong City was very noisy. Many peddlers set up stalls here, and the people waiting to enter the city were also bustling. The convoy went directly to the nobles' passage. There, a small group of guards carefully checked Lord Marshall's coat of arms and documents. Of course, these were all handled by the two stewards. The guards would not let a noble handle this matter.
After some procedures, the convoy finally entered the city that Abel had been famous for a long time. In front of them, Lord Marshall's ox cart led the way. Abel sat in the carriage, opened the window, and looked at the city curiously.
As soon as they entered the city, the huge streets attracted Abel's attention. The ground was paved with the same huge stones as the city wall. The whole road was wide enough to allow eight carriages to go side by side. The peddlers that he saw outside the city were nowhere to be seen in the city. On both sides of the road, there were shops with the same style. Every shop here was crowded with people. It was a bustling scene.
The walls were made of white stones, and the roofs were made of red tiles. This formed the uniform style of the city.
What surprised Abel the most was the sanitation here. Almost all the towns that Abel had been to, no matter big or small, had the same problem, and that was sanitation. But this city gave him the feeling that it was clean and tidy. There was almost no garbage on the ground, which was a sharp contrast to other cities.
The carriages slowly moved forward. Whether it was in Harvest City or Mawa City, they were considered very luxurious carriages. However, they were very inconspicuous here. Almost every noble carriage here was extremely luxurious. Abel had already seen a few carriages inlaid with gold, silver, and gems passing by him.
Lord Marshall's ox-cart turned in front and entered another street. When Abel's ox-cart turned into this street, he felt a cool breeze. Abel looked around. The road here had been paved with small red bricks. The whole street was red, and there were tall sycamore trees planted on both sides, completely covering the street with six carriages side by side under the shade of the trees.
As soon as they entered the street, Abel saw a group of guards. When they saw the red and white unicorn coat of arms on Lord Marshall's ox-cart in front, they signaled for the ox-cart to continue passing.
On both sides of the red road, between the parasol trees, one could vaguely see residences with courtyards. They also had white walls and red roofs, but the walls and pillars of each courtyard were engraved with various patterns, causing the entire street to be filled with a rich aristocratic artistic atmosphere.
Lord Marshall's ox-cart stopped in front, and Abel's ox-cart also slowed down and stopped on the side. When Abel and Lorraine got off the ox-cart with Black Wind, Lord Marshall was already standing on the side of the road waiting for them.
"Abel, this is Triumph Avenue. The courtyard you got is this one. I have already asked Lindsey to send someone to take over this courtyard and the manor outside Bakong City." Lord Marshall was very happy to introduce.
At this moment, Abel remembered that this was the 1000 square yard that the dead Prince Wyatt had bought from him for the 120 skills magic sword, and the manor outside of Bakong City was the compensation for Prince Wyatt's attack on Lord Marshall.
"Uncle Marshall, the environment here is really good." Abel said after looking around.
"Of course, this is the best street in Bakong City. The other side of the street leads straight to the palace. Only the nobles live here. Only the nobles can enter without a guide." Lord Marshall said proudly, as if it was a great honor to have such a courtyard here.
Lorraine also liked this place very much. The smile on her face was like a blooming flower, but slowly, it seemed to become a little sad.
Abel saw Lorraine's expression, stepped forward, gently patted her head, and asked softly, "Lorraine, don't you like it here?"
"No, I like it very much. It reminds me of my home. My home is like this too." Lorraine said softly.
Lord Marshall heard and said, "This place was built according to the style of the elves."
