Chapter 11: Secrets

"Huh?!, I want to see, who eats the bear's heart leopard and dares to meddle with the gossip of our Cullen barony?" replied as soon as the male duck heard someone behind him talk. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After speaking, the male duck turned around and looked back, just in time to see Leo standing behind him with his men, Leo and Feng Xifan, the master and servant, were not very conspicuous, but the elite Roman infantry behind him made the male duck's throat start.

I saw that the body of the male duck's throat stiffened obviously, and then slowly squeezed out an ugly smile from his face, leaned forward, and saluted Leo. "Honorable sir! Hubble, Lieutenant of the Barony of Cullen, salutes you!

The male duck's throat is sharp-beaked monkey gills and thief eyebrows, and his two eyes are slick and rolling, and he knows that he is not a good person at a glance. Just because he can be the deputy steward of a barony, he naturally has a certain amount of insight.

The young man in front of him and the old servant behind him looked inconspicuous, but the burly Griman and the well-trained Roman infantry who had always maintained the same pace knew that it was not easy to mess with, and with the protection of such elite soldiers, then this young man must not be an ordinary person, even if he was from a noble family, so the male duck Hubble lowered his posture very low. Nobles generally maintain a certain etiquette among themselves, and it is rare for them to tear their faces on the spot.

It's a pity that Leo completely ignored the so-called aristocratic etiquette, Leo strode up to him, gave him a big slap in the face, and reprimanded him while fighting back: "Damn dogs, you dare to come to our Covinus family territory to show off your might, it's really blind to your dog's eyes!"

Although Leo's body bones are extremely thin, after Leo's unremitting exercise and Feng Xifan's daily use of internal force to massage him, Leo is now the first to get a glimpse of the martial arts, this slap went down, and the deputy steward of the Barony of Cullen, Hubble, turned around twice in place, and finally stabilized his body and screamed with half of his face, and spit out two big molars from his mouth.

Seeing this, a few crooked eyebrows and squinting entourage behind Hubble hurriedly stepped forward to support Hubble, these attendants usually follow Hubble to bully orphans and widows, but looking at the team of elite soldiers opposite, one by one cowered as honest as quails, these attendants just hugged Hubble, as for Hubble was beaten, he didn't dare to say a word at all.

Hubble covered his cheeks, glanced at Leo with some horror, and asked vaguely, "You...... Who the hell are you? Tell you, my sister is a baroness, you ...... How dare you hit me?!". Hubble has been tyrannical in Barony Cullen since his sister married Baron Cullen, but he didn't expect to suffer such a big loss in Haruna Village today. Hubble secretly swore in his heart that he must go back to mobilize people, and he must get this field back, and when the time comes, he must beat this kid firmly, so that he knows that Barony Cullen is not easy to mess with.

With a bang, Griman thrust his two-handed giant sword into the ground and said to the people of Barony Cullen: "Tell you, this is the second son of Viscount Covenas, Young Master Leo, in the future, this Haruna Village will be our young master's fief, you all get away from me, otherwise I want you to look good!"

Hubble's heart was cold when Griman introduced his identity, and it seemed that he couldn't help but have no hope of revenge, and even Baron Cullen's plan to seize Haruna Village would probably come to naught, and he who was in charge of this matter would have no good fruit to eat at that time. But Leo was the second son of Viscount Covenas, and Hubble had nothing to do for a while, so he had to cover his cheeks and not even dare to say a cruel word, and walked away with his subordinates.

After Hubble left with his men, the villagers cheered loudly, I don't know how long it had been like this, since the Kovinas family abandoned the village of Haruna, the villagers had been humiliated, not only from the surrounding territories, but also from all kinds of marauders and villains from the badlands and wastelands. If it weren't for the remaining orphans and widows who couldn't afford to flee, and if Heidi hadn't led everyone to fight hard, the village of Haruna would have been deserted a long time ago.

Now, Viscount Covinas finally remembered the village of Haruna, and sent his second son to manage the village of Haruna, so that the village of Haruna would no longer be bullied, and the villagers of Haruna could straighten their backs. The cheers and smiles of the villagers also infected Leo, and the heartfelt laughter of the simple villagers made Leo secretly vow to manage Haruna Village well and let these poor people live a good life.

Leo didn't mention it when he rested in Haruna Village, and Hubble of the Barony of Cullen covered his swollen cheeks, hurried back to the Barony of Cullen, and reported his encounter in Haruna Village to Baron Cullen as soon as possible.

"Oh, you said that the second son of Viscount Covinas came to the village of Haruna?" Baron Cullen listened to Hubble's report, and confirmed again with great interest.

"Yes, the second son's name is Leo Kovennas, and he also brought with him a group of elite soldiers, who are now in the village of Haruna. Hubble confirms in no uncertain terms.

"Haha! It looks like what the people from the imperial capital said are true!" When Baron Cullen heard this, instead of being angry, he burst out laughing.

Seeing Hubble covering his face and looking at himself inexplicably, Baron Cullen said with high interest: "Hubble, you don't have to worry, what a bullshit viscount's second son, that Leo Covinus is just a waste, he has been in the magic academy for three years and is not even a trainee magician, and he was forced to drop out of the academy, he is a joke in the imperial capital." Viscount Covinas sent him to the village of Haruna, a place abandoned by the Covenas family, in order to leave him to fend for himself. ”

"Oh?!" Hubble immediately came to his senses when he heard that Leo had been banished from the family.

"And whatever! Frank, the eldest son of the Covinus family, sent someone to contact me and asked me to help me secretly solve that Leo so as to prevent future troubles. After the deed is done, the village of Haruna will belong to our Barons of Cullen as a thank-you gift, haha! We have been planning for several years, but we can't imagine that the infighting of the Covinus family will help us realize this wish!" Baron Cullen said proudly as he shook the letter he was holding.

"This is really good, it deserves the defeat of the Covenus family, all of them are losers, they don't seek advancement, for the sake of inheritance, a civil war will give away the family territory, this eldest son Frank is also a full straw bag, just cheap us!" Hubble listened to Baron Cullen's words, and instantly did not feel a pain in his cheeks, and laughed at the Corvinus family vigorously.

Baron Cullen saw that Hubble was in good spirits, so he said to him: "Since they are fighting with each other, then we should not be polite, and take the village of Haruna as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night." Hubble, you're still in charge of this!"

"Okay, brother-in-law, you can rest assured! Since the Kovinas family doesn't care, then we don't have to be so scrupulous, this time I will definitely take Haruna Village, and when the time comes, the underground treasure of the Kovinas family will be ours! Those stupid Kovinas people would never have thought that the deserted village they abandoned like a piece actually hides their family's most important treasure!" Hubble got carried away for a while, a little arrogant in front of Baron Cullen, and opened his mouth, only after being glared at by Baron Cullen fiercely did he realize his gaffe, and quickly covered his mouth and laughed.

"Shut your mouth and tell you, Hubble, if you can't keep your mouth shut and leak your secrets, not even your sister will be able to protect you!" Baron Cullen snapped.

Seeing that Hubble shrunk his neck and nodded in response with a fearful face, Baron Cullen lowered his voice again and said softly: "The stakes are very high, we have to be careful, Hubble, to deal with Haruna Village and that Rio Covenas, we can't do it ourselves, at least nominally, and openly confront the Covenus family." But it's almost late autumn anyway, and those raiders in the badlands wasteland are also looting around, so you can contact the desolate wolf tribe on the edge of the wasteland and let them take action. It doesn't matter if you spend more money, the key is to make things seamless and flawless!"

Hearing Baron Cullen's instructions, Hubble smiled sinisterly: "You can rest assured that I will do something! Let the beasts of the Desolate Wolf Tribe kill all the Haruna Village, and then we will go and accept the territory, even if the Covenus family wants to pursue it, we must be able to find the Desolate Wolf Tribe in the Badlands Wasteland, and we can take over Haruna Village without much effort." Ahh

The candle-lit chamber reverberated with the unbridled laughter of Baron Cullen and Hubble, as if they had taken Haruna Village, and their shadows were reflected on the wall with the flickering candle flames, as hideous and terrifying as the demons crawling out of the abyss!

At this time, Leo had no idea that a conspiracy against himself and Haruna Village had begun, and he was accompanied by Heidi and Aunt Selena, patrolling the entire Haruna Village.

"Haruna Village has a rare sweet water well within a radius of 100 miles, and it is this sweet well that has supported us people to survive until now, but it is precisely because of this sweet well that it has attracted a lot of raiders from the Bad Land and Wasteland, and we can only hide it from them before, of course, maybe they don't care about us at all, after all, our village is so poor that we can't live anymore, and there is nothing to rob at all. Heidi explained to Leo the situation in the village, although she was only a girl, but the harsh environment and strong survival pressure made the girl grow up quickly.

"Now there are only 33 people left in the village, and most of them are old people and children, Old Grandpa Gary is the oldest in the village, he is already seventy-three years old, he is also the old hunter who knows the badlands best, but unfortunately he is too old to walk now, but his rich experience has also allowed us to avoid many dangers. Heidi pointed to an old man who was basking in the sun, and when the old man saw Heidi and Leo and the others, he grinned and waved at them, and Heidi waved to the old man.

The more Leo listened, the deeper his eyebrows furrowed, the environment here was too harsh, and there was almost no labor, and it was really difficult to build this village. No wonder Viscount Covinas gave this village to himself without any care, not to mention that if you want to start from a village, it is a problem to survive in this village.
