In two hours before dawn.

At this time, Baron Hejvi stood on the rooftop at the very top of the castle and looked down on everything.

Counting the foundation, the castle is seven feet high, the whole body is ancient and black, and the round tower of the attic on the top has seven floors.

Above the seventh floor is the rooftop.

Standing in the position of Baron Hajvi Yakel, it is enough to look down on half of the peaceful town. With the castle as the center, it was like a fuse, and countless lights began to spread outward.

It's a spectacle. In fact, in Baron Haijivi's heart, he was still a little guilty, because he woke up the entire peaceful town just because of one of his orders - to find the gold coin!

"Lord Baron, the whole castle has been turned," said the guard standing behind him, "and we all went down to the ice cellar within five meters of the ground. ”

"What's in the ice cellar?"

"There are no adults, it's empty. But ......"

"But what?" said Baron Hydwick, turning his head abruptly.

"But we found a few traces of blood on the floor of the ice cellar. ”

"Blood, what does blood have to do with gold coins?" said Baron Hajvi, furious. "You still don't understand what your mission is?"

"My lord, it's Chief Amanda who wants to investigate this matter deeply," the guard whispered, "Chief Amanda has gone with two guards to find Mayor Grace." ”

"This guy! Didn't I tell him to leave Grace alone? Why is he still holding on! Call him back to me!"

"My lord, it may be late, just before I came up, Chief Amanda was already rushing towards the mayor's bedroom. ”

Baron Hydgwick slapped the handrail on the edge of the castle's rooftop. After a long silence, he sighed: "Alas, let him be, you go and warn him that today is not the time to deal with Grace." When you say that, you say that one day, I will correct all my mistakes. This needs to be told to him, not to mention the three words Grace. ”

The guard silently remembered in his heart, and after giving a chest touch, he wanted to step off the rooftop. At this time, Baron Hydgvi stopped him again. "Wait!" he said, "all my own soldiers have been sent out!"

"Everyone?" the guard said in surprise, "My lord, there are only ten people left in the castle to protect you, your comfort ......"

Baron Hydgvi interrupted him and said, "Don't waste any time, just do as I say, first find the group of mercenaries and the blue-capped yodelmans, and if they can't find them in the town, send someone out on horseback to search! 180,000 gold coins, it is impossible to evaporate out of thin air!"

At noon, when he first learned that the gold coins had been stolen, Baron Hygivi was confident that he would be able to retrieve them before dark, after all, such a huge amount of gold coins would require more than thirty people to carry them by people alone!

How many people in the entire peaceful town have such forces?

As soon as it opened, Baron Hydgwick directly sent people to secretly monitor the dynamics of the auction house and the Little Duke's mansion. Some of the other powers can be counted on just a finger, and naturally they are also under the special care of Baron Hygivi.

Then there was his main target, the young man in the blue hat and the guards who had come up to follow him.

Vaguely, he felt that as long as he found this group of mercenaries, he would definitely be able to recover the lost gold coins. One of the things that puzzled him was why this group of mercenaries made up of Odinites followed the orders of the Yodelman boy.

The Odin followed behind a Yodelman, if not threatened, or driven by profit. Obviously, they must be impressed by the lucrative benefits!

One thing Baron Haijvi may never have thought about is that it is impossible for Zhu Tian to subdue the mercenary group with his own strength. But in fact, it's not that he never thought about it...... He also thought about this reason, but he didn't want to admit it in his heart.

Even when it was dark, they hadn't found the mercenary, and Baron Hygivi's confidence felt like it had been hit. Immediately, he used thunder tactics to acquire all the ravens in the peaceful town.

And just like that, within an hour, the letter containing Baron Hygivi flew to dozens of surrounding towns and more than a dozen cities!

The letter reads as follows:

Looking at the lords of the towns, the lords of the cities were vigilant, and a group of horse thieves pretended to be mercenaries and looted all around, led by a young yodelman wearing a blue hat. Peace Town has suffered a disaster, if anyone finds such a group of "mercenaries", please don't make a noise, and send a message to Baron Hajvi in Peace Town, rewarding 1,000 gold coins!

When dozens of ravens flew out, Baron Hajvi's heart fell halfway in his throat.

This action means that he has sealed off the entire peaceful town! The next step is to concentrate all his forces in the peaceful town.

Originally, Baron Hydgvi's personal guard numbered five hundred, but he could only bring back one-tenth of them from the northern battlefield for leave.

So there were fifty guards around him, and he had sent out forty of them before dark. At this time, he ordered the guards to send out the remaining ten Kingdom Guards completely, and he became the real commander of the light pole standing on the rooftop.

That's also not accurate. A middle-aged man with an old-fashioned demeanor and a waiter's overhead followed Baron Hygivi all the time, his unassuming appearance was difficult to attract attention, and his gestures were very restrained. In the eyes of others, this middle-aged man is a follower behind Lord Baron.

But this is the kind of person who can directly overturn the strong man who is guarding in front of Mayor Grace's door. "My lord," said the attendant, "it is not early, and in two hours it will be dawn." You're going to attend Miss Hayscar's wedding tomorrow, and you need to rest anyway. ”

In the bleak autumn breeze, the attendants draped a coat on Baron Hydgvi behind him.

"Haymir, did I do something wrong?" Baron Hajvi sighed as he looked at the lights of the town, "I did something wrong, from the beginning, I was wrong. ”

The inseparable attendant who followed Baron Hygivi's side, who didn't know that this Lord Baron just needed to relieve his depression, he knew that at this time, he just needed to listen silently.

"Heymir, of all the people around me, you are the only one who understands me. Baron Haijvi smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Our so-called hereditary baron title has been passed down for two hundred years. It has been six generations since they came to me, so how could it be cut off from my hands? When the family called me to my hands, they were still full of vitality. But in the 20 years since I took over, I think I'm gradually declining. The family business was a mess in my hands, and over the years, I never bothered to talk about it, and even had some disgust. You should know all these things, and I kind of regret that I didn't listen to your advice. Haymir, I'm an incompetent patriarch. Well, let alone being a patriarch, I can't even be a father, how can I still be competent for the duties of a patriarch? Look at what kind of man I chose for Haysja. Hehe, it's ridiculous, I'm so blind. ”

Listening to Baron Hygivi's voice, it became more and more depressed. Haimir knew she couldn't be silent any longer. "My lord," he said, "everything will be fine, and almost every patriarch has experienced great or small difficulties. It's not your fault, it's a mistake given by the whole era. You once said that this is the era that belongs to the Odin, and of course everything develops under the control of our King Odin. At this moment, our king is old, mediocre, self-serving, and greedy for power and money. As a result, all the people on the entire continent fell into chaos. It's not your fault, and as a hereditary baron, your situation isn't the worst either. After a while, everything will return to its original state. ”

"Well, this is our Odin era, and I'm proud of it, but sometimes, I find it a little ridiculous. How ridiculous it is that power has become a game for some people! They may have forgotten the first sentence written in the law of the Kingdom - power is holy, equal, and cannot be blasphemed! When I see this sentence, do you know how I feel? I think that one day when I have a little power, I must practice these three words perfectly. However, when I came of age and was given the title of true baron in advance, I simply forgot about it. The scene of the indiscriminate flowers has fascinated my eyes, and the drunken life has corrupted my body, what about the boy who used to be a great revenge?

Haymir groaned deeply, and after ten seconds, he said: "My lord, I like the phrase that is often mentioned in the church pastors - consciousness is change, and I understand that as long as you are aware of your current situation, you are aware of the mistakes you have made, and in that moment of consciousness, everything has changed. ”

Consciousness is change...... Baron Hygivi silently repeated this sentence in his heart, and then took his eyes back from the lights of the ten thousand homes, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who seemed to be calm and calm forever. "Isn't there no pain in your heart, Haimir?" he asked, "why do you always keep a calm look? No matter what happens, you always have such an expression on your face, and sometimes I envy you." ”

"My lord, all people have pain, but before your father picked me up from the shoreline, I had tasted all the most painful things in the world. ”

A complicated look appeared on Haimir's face, and he was silent for a long time before he continued to say in a deep voice:

"I was born on the vast sea, and my father said that it was the cook on our ship who cut open my mother's belly and brought me out. ”

"My father told me that my mother's wound was getting worse because of the poor sanitation on the ship. And the fishing boats that have lost their course in the sea have no food for the babies to eat. Therefore, she insisted on it for half a year before she was willing to die. ”

"In my dreams, there has always been such a picture: I was lying in the pus-decaying wound drinking breast milk, and the wriggling maggots crawled out of my mother's wounds, but my mother did not chase the maggots as usual, because she had closed her eyes forever. "After living for so many years, my mother has died countless times in my dreams. ”

"When I was five years old, our fishing boat was confronted by pirates. The only purpose of pirates to rob fishing boats was to rob slaves, and at the age of five, I was a sought-after commodity in the slave market, and I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune, my father and I were sold to a landlord at the same time. ”

"The landlord's son took pleasure in bullying child laborers like me, and the landlord took pleasure in bullying other slaves. Even though I'm Odinite, in their eyes, we're a different species. ”

"The landlord kept my father in a cage for the guests to watch the struggle between 'man and nature', and just like that, my father was eaten alive by an adult male lion whose roar could be heard for miles away. And I was watching. To this day, I still remember the warm smile that appeared on my father's lips when he finally saw me. ”

"Later, when I contracted a fever, and when they found out, the landlord's son put me in a sack and threw me into the sea. In the end, it was the waves that saved me, and it was your father who picked me up from the sea. ”

"I was born in the sea, and I was born again in the sea. You know everything that happened, when I was a child, I had a fever that didn't go away. You are a few years younger than me, and I dare not come near you, nor will I be allowed to go near you. And you, at that time, had a pure heart. Secretly found me, touched the blisters on my face from the fever, and said, 'This must be painful, I'll blow it on you.' And then the next day, your face is also covered with blisters......"

"When your father found out, he did not chastise you or me, but praised thy bravery and comforted me to remove the guilt from my heart. At that moment, I had a new understanding of life. ”
