Chapter Seventy-Six: Wanted

By the time Barron discovered that the Assassin had been poisoned, it was too late, so he had no choice but to take the first step and completely solve the Assassin's pain.

Standing next to the assassin's corpse, Barron noticed that at some point, there was already a large circle of people around him, and in addition to ordinary civilians, there were also many mercenaries mixed in.

When Barron looked at these mercenaries, he found that these mercenaries were all flickering, obviously they all knew about the wanted warrant issued by Harold, but they didn't dare to come out easily because of Barron's strength.

Barron didn't know how many of these people were the Assassin's accomplices, or how many of them wanted to trade his head for a bounty.

After a while, the security team in the town came from afar, and the workload of the security team has increased greatly due to the influx of a large number of mercenaries in the past few days.

All kinds of fights, fights, thefts, robberies, etc., have worried the people of the security team, and if it weren't for the help of some mercenaries who are more familiar with the town, they might have been chaotic.

Just now I received a report from the townspeople, saying that when someone killed someone in the street, it really frightened the people of the security team, and they were afraid that these mercenaries would go crazy and make something big, so the security captain hurriedly rushed to the scene with his few subordinates and mercenaries with good connections.

After arriving at the scene to understand the situation, the security captain breathed a sigh of relief, although there was a murder, but the facts were very clear that it was an assassination incident, and the assassination was still a knight.

Since the assassin has been dealt with by the young knight in front of them, they don't need to bother to directly help the knight named Barron find a corpse collector in the town to dispose of the assassin's body.

As for the news that Barron, the knight, was wanted, he also knew, but the captain of the peace didn't know about it at all.

Not to mention that their town is directly under the jurisdiction of the kingdom, except for the government orders from the royal capital and the western province of Kensas, the wanted warrants issued by local lords like Earl Harold are not valid here at all.

Of course, even if the wanted warrant was valid here, it was estimated that they would not annoy Barron, after all, they were not capable of dealing with a strong man with the strength of a junior knight.

Therefore, the security team only went through the motions in response to Barron's questioning, not only did they not even go to the security office, but they also withdrew the triple crossbow, the weapon used by the assassins to commit crimes.

After the security team withdrew, Barron didn't want to stay long, hurried back to the hotel to pack up his things briefly, didn't even return the room, just threw a gold coin at John to make up for the damage to the wall of the room, and then hurriedly led his horse out of the town.

Originally, Barron was still wondering why the four lords issued wanted warrants, you must know that only the wanted warrants issued by the royal government are wanted warrants that the entire kingdom has legal effect and the local lords must also abide by, commonly known as the kingdom wanted warrants.

However, the wanted warrants issued by the local lords are only valid within their territory, and once they are out of their territory, the wanted warrant is considered invalid, so this kind of wanted warrant is called a territorial wanted warrant.

Just like the security team in the town just now, even if they knew about the existence of this wanted warrant, they would treat it as if they didn't know, because it was not their task, and no matter how powerful the four lords were, they had no right to control them.

What's more, Barron is now a junior knight, and in most parts of the Nader Kingdom, the knight-level status can almost be used as a half noble, although it is not as noble as the identity of a wizard, but it can also deter many people.

If Barron goes to other places, most of them will be treated the same as in the town, as long as Barron doesn't make trouble, they will treat it as if they didn't see Barron's existence, and a very small number of cities will at most refuse Barron to enter the city, but they will not come forward to arrest Barron. In other words, as long as Barron is not close to the territories of the lords of Harold, his life will hardly change.

And Count Harold, one of the four major lords, should know Barron's true strength now, after all, they all know whose hands the intermediate wizard apprentice died, the intermediate wizard apprentice is a strong man of the same level as the intermediate knight, since Barron can kill the intermediate wizard apprentice, no matter what means are used, at least it proves that he has the strength to match the intermediate knight in some aspects.

And in the entire Nader Kingdom, how many mid-level knights are there? There are less than a hundred people in total, which can almost be regarded as the pillar of the Nader Kingdom's combat power.

Even though they knew Baron's strength, the four major lords also issued such a wanted warrant, could it be that there are mercenaries or killers in the Nader Kingdom, and there are really strong people in charge?

There may be strong people in the dark world, but there are definitely not too many, after all, even in the dark world, the powerhouses of the intermediate knight level are almost all people who stand in the upper echelons of the Nader Kingdom, and will fight to the death with a person who can threaten their lives for a small amount of gold? The answer is obviously no.

Since it didn't have any impact on Barron's life, and there was no strong man of the same level to come forward, why would the four major lords go to Barron's wanted when they were full of food and had nothing to do?

In fact, the key point is not the wanted, but the price given by the four major lords such as Harold, whoever can kill Baron can get a bounty of 500 gold coins, not so much that this is a wanted warrant, but that this is a bounty, so much bounty, even if Barron is a knight-level powerhouse, but there will still be people who are dazzled by the light of gold coins to try, try to get this huge bounty.

If all kinds of bandits and rats are members of the dark world, then the security forces, city defense forces, and the army represent the authority of the royal family and the government. So what is the identity of a mercenary?

Mercenaries are actually a group of characters who wander in the gray area, they can not only be hired to maintain law and order like the security team, but also assist the city defense army to defend against thieves and bandits, and even participate in the war between two countries, of course, they can also become rats, bandits and even slaughterers for the sake of profit and gold.

For example, in the battle of Yezi Town, there were many mercenaries who followed Pande to fight the enemy, and many mercenaries colluded with local rats after the town's walls were breached, and turned into extremely murderous thugs.

Mercenaries won't have any knightly duels with you, and how to win a simple and minimal victory is what they will really consider.
