Archduke William's eyes fluctuated and his mind changed, and he reacted in an instant, and smiled heartily: "Baron Leo said that you are a hot and high-profile new star in the empire? Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWho would dare to despise you? How can you be said to be a small person?"

Archduke William's bragging, which made Leo even more vigilant. The dignified Grand Duke of the South, although he claimed his title and was not recognized by the Empire, but he was also the lord of the three provinces, condescended here, and made enough efforts to advocate a small baron. If there was no conspiracy, Leo would not believe anything.

Before Leo could speak, a nearby mage in a magic robe heard the laughter of Archduke William and walked over with a wine glass: "I heard William's laughter from afar, is there anything happy about it?"

Being interrupted like this, Archduke William was slightly unhappy, and introduced to the visitor with a smile on his face: "Master Link, let me introduce you, this is the owner of this castle, the pride of the Varu Empire, Baron Leo!"

After speaking, Archduke William pulled the Link mage to his side without any surprise, and introduced Leo: "This is the Link mage from Lorraine, the magic kingdom, the head of the magicians, a fire magic but extremely accomplished, even the Roman Dean of our Imperial Academy of Magic has invited Link Mage to Valu as a visiting professor many times. ”

Leo smiled and saluted Master Link, but took the opportunity to find an excuse to leave. Watching Leo leave as quickly as if avoiding the plague, Archduke William's face was slightly ugly.

"It's just a little baron from the North, don't take it to heart!" Mage Link shook his glass, and watched Leo leave with Archduke William's gaze.

"Hmph, you know, he's the one who beat my father. Not only that, I'm afraid he is not a master of peace, it doesn't matter if he can't subdue him, as long as he can disrupt the northern frontier, then I have more confidence to defeat the empire. It's a pity that we didn't come thousands of miles this time, but we didn't catch up with the battle with those orcs, otherwise it would be even more perfect to be able to take some merits with our own hands!" Archduke William did not shy away from admitting to this Link mage.

"Oh, then, this Baron Leo is kind of interesting. Master Link replied with interest.

After the banquet, Leo asked Sean about Archduke William's actions in the castle in the past few days, as well as his relationship with the Link.

"Archduke Wilhelm had frequent contact with those nobles every day, presumably deliberately befriending those nobles who held military power. The Kingdom of Lorraine borders the south of the empire, and has always had a close relationship with the southern provinces, and it is difficult to say whether the rebellion of the Grand Duke of Wagner has the influence of the Kingdom of Lorraine, and Archduke William will definitely focus on wooing the magicians of the Kingdom of Lorraine, so it is not unusual for him to befriend the Link-mage. "Although Sean is only a butler, he knows a lot about some rumors in the empire.

"It seems that this Archduke William has now hit me in the head again, and has drawn me into his camp to rebel with him. When the battle of the orcs in the autumn hunt is over, and the alliance of the countries of the continent is rewarding for meritorious deeds, presumably he can use my merits to overthrow the rule of the imperial family, or at least disturb the situation in the empire. That's a pretty good calculation!" Leo thought about it carefully, and guessed what Archduke William meant.

"As soon as the wolf cavalry disappeared, this place became his stage, jumping up and down to envelop those powerful nobles, coercing and luring me into the gang, this Archduke William is not just a martial artist!"

Sean bowed his head lightly in agreement: "Now that these nobles are staying here, I am afraid that it will cause trouble in the long run, so it is better to ...... The baron could ask reinforcements to return or camp in Silverstone under the pretext that the wolf cavalry had fled and the danger had been lifted. ”

Sean's idea, Leo naturally agreed, no matter whether the nobles from all walks of life were willing or not, Leo would not leave them to stay in his territory. Of course, the nobles were eager to get out of this small place that seemed to them to be a poor country at all, and Silverstone was the best place for them.

Standing on the castle lookout, Leo watched the procession leave Beiyuan Town all the way, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't even go to see him off, but just sent a butler to do it for him. As for whether the nobles were willing or not, Leo couldn't care so much, he really didn't want to deal with them anymore. Compared with the nobles who were still hard-core in the style of the northern frontier, those nobles from the south were more extravagant and false, and they also made Leo look down on them even more.

In the days that followed, Leo was a little busy. With the news of the wolf cavalry's escape, all parts of Northern Xinjiang have lifted their alerts, and those residents of the Northern Plains who were stranded in Silverstone City have returned to the barony one after another, and they have also brought back many refugees whose homes have been destroyed. Leo naturally welcomed the increase in the population of his territory, and with the management of the beggar army and Roman infantry, coupled with the assistance of the Brontë family, the town of Beiyuan once again regained its former vitality.

Due to Leo's vigorous reception of refugees, relieving the pressure on Silverstone, the consul Viscount Rubin also praised Leo in a rare and public manner. This time, under the deliberate promotion of Archduke William, Leo, who had attracted much attention, became even more famous.

While the commoners praised the brave and benevolent Baron Leo, the nobles from all over the empire also learned some gossip that was deliberately revealed through various channels, such as Baron Leo's ability to resist the invasion of the wolf cavalry legion, and there must be a lot of private soldiers in the territory;

All sorts of gossip and news completely turned Leo red, and almost all the nobles at the gathering were constantly commenting on this lucky man who had made great contributions in two successive imperial crises, but the wind was almost one-sided, and they were all talking and jealous of his exploits.

As Duke Solo of the Supervision Department, who has been paying attention to Leo, Leo has become more and more mysterious in his eyes. Unlike during the Battle of the South, Leo and Raymond quietly sneaked into the south without anyone paying attention, this time the Wolf Rider invaded, the Imperial Supervision Department had already sent many eyeliners to closely monitor all the movements of the Wolf Rider Army, and the several fierce battles that occurred in Leo's Barony naturally did not escape the eyes of the Supervision Department.
