"The young master, the young master, has returned, and I tell you to inform him as soon as you get ashore!"

Almost as soon as he got off the boat, Leylin saw an unexpected person, and the housekeeper of the manor, Ryan, came directly in front of him, and it could be seen that he had been waiting here for a long time, and even his clothes had traces of water formed by a faint mist.

"Is my father back? Very well, I'll go see him at once! Pack up here, and some of the ship's booty and prisoners......"

Compared to the sneakiness before the sneak attack, Leylin was very swaggering on the return trip, and he even hoped that this victory could deter other ill-intentioned people.

It's just that the only ship that entered the port this time was Leylin's original ship, and the captured pirate ship "Black Tiger", as well as a large number of pirates, and even his cousin Isabel have disappeared without a trace.

Aside from the few loot that remains, there are only a few unlucky pirates among them, and of course, counting Steve, the former pirate captain.

"Yes, young master!" Ryan bowed deeply, just from the injuries of the few guards behind Lei Lin, he could know that this battle was very tragic.

"Uh-huh, Jacob, take Steve, let's go!"

Leylin got into the carriage himself, followed by Jacob and the captive Steve with a black cloth bag over his head - Leylin was not sure to hand over such a high-ranking captive to his men, otherwise something bad might happen.

"Father's ......"

As soon as the carriage arrived at the manor, Leylin saw his physical parents, Baron Jones and his wife, who were standing at the gate of the manor and waiting. There was an indescribable look of worry in his eyes.

Leylin immediately got out of the carriage and was taken into the arms of Lady Sarah: "Oh! my poor boy ......"

You can see it. Even with only vague knowledge of what Leylin was going to do, Lady Sarah was still very worried.

"It's all right!" Baron Jonas still maintained his demeanor as a nobleman. It's just that there is joy in the eyes.

Raylin's gaze passed over his father, and then he saw his mentor Ernest, who cast a look of affirmation and encouragement at Raylin, and immediately tightened the gray mage robe on his body, and hid in the crowd - mages are such a group of people who are not good at expressing themselves.

However, at this time, behind Baron Jonas, Leylin also saw several elite soldiers wearing armor, and that kind of cold and hard gaze even made Leylin feel a little dangerous.

"A fifth-level professional warrior! And this number, where did my father find it?"

From these fighters. Especially in the gaze of the chief, although Leylin saw respect, he did not have the kind of dependence and worry that was characteristic of his retainers, and it was obvious that this was the baron's foreign aid.

But these are the little things.

"You kid, you can't be so reckless in the future, it's too much to lose the status of a nobleman by leading the troops out alone......"

Baron Jonas said with some caution in case his heir died in the battle. He simply couldn't face the future.

"Speaking of which, Father, allow me to show you the loot and captives I have received this time......"

Leylin clapped his hands, and Jacob personally pressed Steve up.

Although the other party has long been abolished. Without the help of high-level magic, he would be a waste, but the necessary care is still indispensable.

"Oh?" Baron Jonas furrowed his eyebrows, unresponsive to the few captives and tattered swords that Leylin had shown.

In his opinion. Leylin just went out to exterminate a wave of small pirates, perhaps not more than 20 of them. It's just a bunch of poor and crazy fishermen and the like, so they don't pay much attention to it.

Leylin lifted the black cloth cover from Steve's head. Exposing the other's hideous face, which was missing an eye, to the sunlight - the pale face caused by the heavy injury and blood loss did not in any way diminish the horror of the other person's face, and even Lady Sarah let out an exclamation of exclamation, and took a few steps back in some panic and disgust.

"Leylin, you scared your mother, this kind of despicable captive, don't pull it out again to defile the eyes of the noble lady......" Baron Jonas is also from a military aristocratic background, and he is not uncomfortable with this scene, but his brows are slightly furrowed.

He was a little puzzled by Leylin showing him a prisoner with a stench of sweat and blood, and a badly wounded captive.

It's just that the Baron didn't see that the elite warriors behind him had changed their gaze.

Although Steve has been abolished, the thick calluses on his hands and the large muscles on his body, especially the strong temperament of a high-level warrior have not completely subsided, and they have seen some clues.

"This captive's name is Steve, and he is the leader of the Black Tiger Pirates!"

Leylin's simple remark immediately made Baron Jones's eyes widen.

"O gods!!"

Baron Jonas no longer paid any attention to the filth on his other body, and went straight to Steve, brushing away the messy hair that was scattered on his forehead, and examining it carefully.

"That's right, it's him! The leader of the Black Tiger Pirate Regiment! Tier 10 warrior Steve! In order to arrest him, several major chambers of commerce have jointly issued a high price of 500 gold coins! The wanted warrant is also in our port, I won't admit my mistake......"

After a long time, the baron sighed and looked at his son with a complicated expression.

This kid always seems to be able to bring him surprises and surprises, and even on this trip, if the other party hadn't asked Ernest to come to help, he might have been killed directly by those assassins.

"Since Steve is here, what about the Black Tiger Pirates?"

Still, the baron asked a little unconfidently.

"It's all been annihilated!" said Leylin with an understatement, and Jacob and the other guards behind him puffed up their chests proudly, staring at the elite warriors behind the baron.

"Good! Looks like we need to have a good talk!"

Baron Jones's face was very complicated.

When Leylin also returned, laughter and happiness returned to the manor, and even the steward Ryan, who had been gloomy face, showed a rare smile and directed the Claire sisters to prepare for the dinner.

Before this time of preparation, in the Baron's study, Jonas drove away the rest of the maids and the like, leaving only Leylin and Ernest alone.

"This time, Lei Lin, your intelligence has helped me a lot, even if it costs a lot, I will solve the problem on the side of the Temple of Knowledge......"

Baron Jonas's voice was a little hoarse and deep, and Leylin was keenly aware of the bloodshot in the other party's eyes, and even the white hair in his ears.

It can be seen that facing the oppression of such a behemoth as the Marquis Louis makes the Baron very distressed and sad.

Even though there is a little room now, the shadow of the other party has never been removed.

"These are all things I should do, after all, I am also a member of the Faolan family!" said Leylin, looking very humble.

This kind of performance made Baron Jonas nod secretly: "Now that we know who the opponent is, our affairs this time will be easy, although this trip to the mainland has encountered several assassinations, but God is fortunate to be safe and sound, and we also met Count Griffiths!"

"Count Griffitz, is that the local nobleman a powerful faction?"

Leylin's eyes flickered, and he immediately remembered the identity of the other party, it seems that Baron Jonas finally won the support of the local nobles after paying a certain price and concessions?

"The other party sent a team of knights, including several fifth-level warriors, the leader of whom is also a ninth-level professional, which is enough to protect the safety of our manor......"

Baron Jonas looked at Leylin with a hint of apology in his eyes.

In his opinion, if he hadn't taken a large number of elites with him, Leylin would not have been assassinated, let alone forced to fight to the death with a vicious pirate group - although he tried to keep Ernest and Jacob as many professionals as possible to protect the manor and the port.

However, this kind of relying on other people's protection is not a long-term way after all, so Lei Lin frowned slightly.

After this look was seen by Jonas, he nodded even more, this child already has enough wisdom to be at the helm of the family.

"So, in your opinion, what should that Steve do? After all, he's your captive......"

Baron Jonas smiled, wanting to see Leylin's performance again.

"How about sending a messenger to negotiate his return to the Marquis of Louis, and conclude a peace treaty? After all, our family is still very weak......," Reelin said unabashedly, of course.

"Very well!" Baron Jonas was about to applaud his child, he would not be so rational at this age, and if he was insulted, he would have clamed for revenge.

Being able to dare to abandon and hibernate, just this gaze, even if Leylin has achieved nothing in other aspects, Baron Jonas has decided to hand over the family to him.

"So, who do you think is the right person?"

"Bishop Tablis of the Temple of Knowledge, he is a friend of both of us, and he is a good messenger this time!"

Leylin deliberately strengthened the word friend, and Baron Jonas clearly heard Leylin's off-topic.

He muttered for a moment: "The other party is indeed a good candidate......

As the bishop of the other party's temple of knowledge, it is very suitable to act as an intermediary between the two sides, especially if it can also expand the prestige of the god of knowledge, presumably Tablis will not refuse.

"Father, and Mentor Ernest, I have a few more things to say......

After this matter was decided, Lei Lin muttered a deep word. (To be continued......)
