Chapter 49: Lothar

Let Gloria find a place to hide outside the town first, her current identity is not suitable to appear in front of the people of the kingdom. When the group saw Turbidity Town, it was already dusk. Obviously, the soldiers stationed in Turbidity Town also discovered Cheese and them early, and a troop had been waiting outside the town for a long time, but it seemed that they were not here to greet Cheese and the others. Judging by the personnel and flags, this force seems to consist of four parts.

"The Knights of the Kingdom, the Knights of the Hammer, the Apothecary Society, and the Bear Hunters, it seems that His Majesty's order has been delivered quickly enough. "Looking at the four different flags fluttering in the military formation in the distance, among which the emblems of the Kingdom Knights and the Knights of the Hammer had been seen by everyone before. Of the two new banners, the one with the eyes, lion's tail, and book emblem is undoubtedly from the Apothecary Guild, and the one with the red bear's paw pattern and a long sword is probably the bear hunter in Leon's mouth.

"What is the origin of that bear hunter?" the female warrior Mona couldn't help but ask, as a northland native who lived in Longji Mountain for a long time, perhaps she had heard of the banners of large nobles such as the Counts of Saron and the Duke of Hammer, which were relatively close to the town below the mountain, but the symbols of those nobles who were outward were not in her memory. However, this cannot be said to be Mona's shallow knowledge, after all, the aristocracy, organizations, religious groups, etc. in this era will have their own symbols, unless they have received professional intelligence training or heraldic scholars, otherwise ordinary people will not have any impression of these signs that may not be seen in a lifetime.

"The Bear Hunters are the army of the Countdom of Montenegro, which borders the southern Earls of Salon. The Count of Montenegro's ancestors were hunters, and according to legend, he once hunted the silver spotted bear, a very large pest, so his army regarded himself as a bear hunter. "As the chief knight of the kingdom of the Greylion, Leon is well versed in the banners of armed groups large and small in the kingdom. So he naturally answered Mona's question.

"Listen to you, it seems that this bear hunter army didn't reach Turbidity before you left for Vale?" Elsa was keenly aware of the sound of the knight's long words, and indeed Leon was a little surprised when he saw the bear hunter banner.

"As a territorial lord adjacent to the epidemic area, it should be normal for the army of the Count of Montenegro to appear here. The proprietress continued.

The knight scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

"That's true, but this time when the plague broke out, the Count of Montenegro happened to take the bear hunters to the border of the kingdom to suppress the bandits. The Lord Earl was notoriously warlike in the kingdom, and whenever there was a fight, he would almost always rush there. If he hadn't remembered to say hello to His Majesty before the operation, he would have been treated as a rebellion five or six times. Hell, he shouldn't have come back so early. He whispered the last sentence, speaking of the biggest troublesome ghost in the kingdom, the blood lion was quite helpless, in fact, when he led the troops to be stationed in Turbulence Town, he learned that the Count of Montenegro was not there, and he was very relieved. Now, however, the Lord is in Turbidity with the Apothecary Guild...... Leon only hoped that it was not the Count of Montenegro himself who came, otherwise he would have seen this meeting.

As the team continued to move closer to Turbidity Town, the troops in front of the town could see more clearly. It can be clearly felt that although these people are not here to welcome, they are not here to fight. It is the purple-robed pharmacists of the Pharmacists Association who can prove this. If there were any plans to go to war, these guys wouldn't be on the battlefield. But what Leon had hoped for also seemed to have fallen through.

"I heard Heather say that you brought back a wizard, sir, I haven't cut a wizard yet!Come on, let him do two tricks with me first!" Before the team could get closer, a knight in a golden heavy armor broke away from the crowd and rushed to the front of Cheese and them alone, although most of his face was obscured by his helmet, but judging by the voice, this Black Mountain Earl was probably not much older than Si. He brandished his long-handled battle axe, which was also glittering with golden light, and shouted loudly.

All of a sudden, whether it was the Kingdom Knight, the Frost Guard, or even the gray-robed mage Cheese, they were confused by this humanoid gold mine and didn't know how to react. Of course, it may also be that the opponent's armor is too dazzling, and the reflection of the sunset is really unbearable. After a strange silence, Leon was the first to adjust his mood, speaking of which, this is not the first time that the Blood Lion has met with the Black Mountain Earl, due to his duties, the Knight Chief has also had some unpleasant experiences with the other party before. But in general, it is still recognized.

"Lord Lothar, we have finally come out of the epidemic area, can you stop messing around. "As an elder in the army, Leon even served as the personal guard of the Count of Montenegro for a period of time, so the chief knight and this earl were not taboo at all in terms of language, except for being more polite.

"Haha, I've heard Heather say, you guys were beaten by those ratmen this time, you, the knight chief of the kingdom, have been missing for several days, I thought you were going to die in the line of duty! I didn't expect you to be alive!" Hearing Leon's voice, the Count of Lothar seemed to have just seen the knight chief, admittedly, the blood lion's current appearance is indeed a little embarrassed, and it is understandable that the other party can't recognize it. And when he saw Leon, the count was so happy that he didn't even ask the wizard any more questions. It seems that the relationship between him and the Blood Lion is much better than what the Blood Lion might have mentioned.

"Why do I think this Count of Montenegro is so abnormal. And looking at his clothes, he shouldn't be called Count of Montenegro, he should be called Count of Jinshan. At the back of the line, the proprietress whispered to the cheese. Cheese couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. I don't know why, I was still a little nervous when I saw the army outside Turbidity Town before, but after seeing this Black Mountain Count, the feeling of fear disappeared unconsciously.

But it didn't matter if he smiled, he was seen by the Count of Montenegro who was talking to Leon, the shape of the cheese in a gray robe was too eye-catching among the knights and warriors who were all in strong suits, although he was not wearing a hood at this time, but no matter how you look at it, there is no doubt that he is the most mage in this group.

"You're the wizard?" asked Lothar aloud, pointing at Cheese with the tip of her tomahawk.

Although he was pointed at by the other party with a weapon, but in the face of a person with the character of Count Montenegro, Cheese couldn't get angry when he should have behaved rudely, and he just felt that what Elsa said about Count Jinshan was really too appropriate.

"First of all, my name is Cheese. Secondly, I am not a wizard as your Excellency calls me, strictly speaking, I am just a seeker of truth. With a slight bow with his right hand on horseback, the mage replied.

Lothar didn't continue in the face of Cheese's answer, he asked as he stared at the left arm hidden by the mage's gray robe.

"What happened to your left hand?"

"I had a slight injury and couldn't move for the time being. Cheese said.

Hearing the mage's answer, the Count of Montenegro had a clear look of disappointment on his face, and in his opinion, an injured wizard could not satisfy his idea of a showdown for the time being. Since he couldn't fight, he quickly lost interest in cheese, so the clamor just now was gone. Lothar turned to speak to Leon again, and the Knight Captain breathed a sigh of relief and motioned for the group to continue moving closer to the crowd.
