Chapter 119: Reason
Leaving the bread stall, Leon and York headed for the Baron's Palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The reason why she couldn't find out as a vendor was that she could only ask the people who bought the Baron's property.
It is said that a wealthy family near the Baron's Palace bought the Baron's estate, and Lyon targeted the wealthy family.
"York, wait. "Leon was walking down the road when he noticed something.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" asked York, looking back.
"That's the Baron's Palace, right?" Leon said, pointing to the front right, which, according to the proprietress said, was the Baron's Palace.
"It seems like yes. "York looked over and found something suspicious, the door of the Baron's Court was open, could someone have returned?
The two of them had to go over to see the situation, and if someone did come back, it would be much easier.
Standing at the gate, you can see that the environment inside is not bad, there is a pool in the yard, and flowers and plants are planted around it, which still exudes vitality even in this cold winter.
But there is no one guarding the gate, and there is no one walking around in the yard, it seems that something is wrong, could it be that there is a thief?
They were going to go inside and have a look.
"Who are you?" A gray-haired man came out of it, followed by two maids.
"We're coming to the Baron. "Leon didn't know what the baron looked like, but the person in front of him seemed to have some status, and he should be a butler or something.
"Baron, do you mean Baron Charlotte?" the old man's expression softened, and at first he thought that the two men had broken in to be lawless.
"Yes. "Leon has already heard a little bit of the truth, this man is not from the Baron's Court.
"You're late, the whole family has already left Timpoo Town, and they shouldn't be coming back. The old man replied quickly.
The hopes that had been held at the beginning were dashed at this moment.
It is true that the old man was not a man of the baron, and the rich man who bought the courtyard was his master, and he came to inspect the house as a steward.
"Do you know the Baron's sudden departure this time?" asked Leon.
As a wealthy man's steward, he should have been present when he bought the property, and he probably heard some of the reasons.
The baron didn't say anything, he was just in a hurry, and the price was almost half the market price. At first, my owner thought that there was something wrong with the house to make it so cheap, but after some inspection, I realized that it was a big deal. The butler shook his head, the baron's behavior was indeed a little strange, but the exact reason was not known.
From this it can be seen that the baron's departure from the town of Timpoo was indeed an act of necessity, and that a nobleman could sell his family's inheritance for many years at such a price that could hardly be found on the mainland, and that it was usually done in order to flee or to be in urgent need of money.
"Excuse me. Seeing that he could not find anything useful, Leon prepared to leave and ask the others.
It was none other than the lord of Timbu who bought the baron's livestock industry.
What was the lord's personality and what did he think of the other lords?, Leon didn't know this, and in order to avoid encountering a situation like in White Mist City, he decided to hide his identity, and instead went to inquire about it in the name of the baron's friend.
At the gate of the lord's castle, after they told them the reason for their request, the guards went in to report.
After waiting for a while, it was not the lord who came out, but the lord's administrator.
"Just ask me if you have anything, Lord Lord, I'm too busy to see you. The administrator said, standing on the top of the steps.
In his heart, these two are just friends of the baron, and there should be some status, but in front of him, he still has to be a lower level, after all, being able to become the administrator of the lord means that the status is no worse than that of the baron, or even vaguely higher.
York was a little dissatisfied with the administrator's approach, and he didn't feel anything if he was treated like this, but he was so rude to the prince that it was difficult for him as the chief knight to swallow this breath.
Leon stopped York, who was about to lose his temper: "Don't forget who we are now. ”
York was still not angry: "Your Highness, even if ordinary people come to ask for a meeting, they shouldn't be so unreasonable, it seems that his master, the lord of Timpoo Town, is not a polite person, and even a bully-level person." ”
York had his own guesses, the upper beam was not right, and the lower beam was crooked, and the temperament of the lord could be roughly known from the behavior of the magistrate.
Leon decided to ask for himself, and York's temper might have gone bad.
"Your Excellency, we have come to find out about Baron Charlotte, I heard that he hastily sold his property and left town?" Leon knew that Baron was gone, but deliberately acted unclear.
"Well, that's good. The lord bought his estate, and he still asked me to pull the string. The magistrate's face was proud, this transaction was really a big profit, not only to solve the baron's affairs, but also to make the lord happy for a while.
Hearing this, Leon assumed that the man knew something.
"How could he be in such a hurry, I had never heard him think like this before. Leon was surprised, a friend from outside who heard about it would almost always look like this, and he had to make it look like this in order to make his pretended identity seem reasonable.
"That's right, he had planned to expand his business before, and this time he left in a hurry. The magistrate did not lie about this, shaking the property of a nobleman is like cutting off his flesh, how can it be so easy to give up the hard work of generations.
"Do you know why?" Leon wanted to inquire further.
"I don't know, but. The magistrate seemed to know what was going on, and he stopped as soon as he spoke, and slowly walked down the steps.
"But I saw that his face was pale and frightened, and it must have happened to something terrible, but when I asked him why, he didn't tell me. You're his friend, so do you know what he's afraid of?" the executioner lowered his voice, afraid to be heard by the others around him.
Afraid?
Leon glanced at York, and the next evening a mysterious woman had arrived at the Baron's Court, and the next day the Baron had sold all his property at a low price with a frightened face, and left the town of Timpoo with all the people.
To say that the whole thing has nothing to do with the mysterious woman, who will believe it when it comes to it?
"I'm sorry, we haven't been in touch for a long time and don't know why. Do you know where they have moved?" Leon knew no more than the magistrate.
"It's mysterious, no one seems to know about it. The administrator shook his head, there were too many people coming and going in Timbu Town, who bothered to go up and inquire about these things.
Leon and York leave the castle and return to the docks.
"Your Highness, the mysterious woman of Timpoo Town has caused the Baron's family to flee in terror, and I guess she must be a witch. York's instincts told him that this was the way things were.
"Quite possibly. Leon didn't argue that an ordinary woman didn't have the ability to let the baron's family escape.
"We'd better hurry back, if it's really Diana, I don't know what the town has become now?"
She is dressed in a unique costume, wears a hood, identifies as a witch, and is related to Chris's siblings, all of which coincide with the news she has received, which is too coincidental if it is a coincidence.
"That's all there is to it. Leon kind of regretted coming to Tambu Town, not only did he not solve the original problem, but he also brought more puzzling problems.
