Chapter 298: Million Bounty
The blue mist that shrouded the air had long since dissipated, and at night in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, the howls of various demonic beasts occasionally began to echo again. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info but under the deterrence of the big bull, the surrounding area is relatively quiet.
Renault hurried back to the city wall with his team, and according to the time, it had been almost a month since he left Black Iron Town.
Hailei had followed Anna to Little Wolf Castle, and the Cult of the Luna no longer existed, so there was no special point in staying here.
So everyone rushed to the little wolf castle overnight.
Perhaps frightened, Hailei has been a little restless during this time.
When she knew that Lord Renault had gone deep into the north in order to save her, and that she might be in danger, she was grateful and worried.
Every day, with Anna's help, she would sit on the highest bell tower in Castle Klein, watching the endless snow in the north, praying that Lord Renault would return safely soon.
She lost all her loved ones at a very young age and never felt the warmth of family.
Until she came to Black Iron Town, Anna's careful care of her made her feel the warmth of her longed-for family.
So during the time she was captured, she was looking forward to Anna falling from the sky every day.
Later, when she looked forward to the moment when she fell into Anna's arms, Hellet knew that from now on, Anna would be her only relative.
But when she heard that Renaud had also come to rescue her personally, she was full of emotion after being at a loss for a while.
Renault is in her heart, although he has a gentle personality and is very easy to get along with, and he is a good lord who does not have any aristocratic frames, but that's all.
In retrospect, Renault has never cared less for her. The reason why she and Renault are not as close as others is mainly because she always deliberately keeps a certain distance.
Because she is not familiar, because she is afraid, or because she feels that the two are not people of the same world in the first place.
Only this time, Hai Lei knew thoroughly, it turned out that she also occupied an important position in Renault's heart.
It's a blissful feeling that makes her finally find home.
"Hailei, aren't you cold?" Anna fell from the sky on the bell tower, taking off the exaggerated sunglasses on her face, which was a special gift from Renault.
"Sister Anna, I'm not cold. ”
Hai Lei wrapped the heavy blanket on her body, although she was an awakened person, her demon spirit was still still a first-order, and the strengthening of her body was still very weak.
"It's getting dark, let's go down. ”
Hailei nodded, reluctantly glanced north again, and then went down the bell tower with Anna and walked up the snow-covered streets.
Although the Little Wolf Fort in winter does not have the same hot flow of people as in summer, because the snow fell very early this year, a lot of coal from the north has not had time to be transported, and the grain from outside has not had time to be transported in, so it is still a lively scene.
The merchants were busy and ready to make another trip to do business while the snow was still not deep, and more often they went into taverns large and small to enjoy spirits and women.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and more than a dozen teams of black war horses went straight out of the city like a whirlwind.
Is something wrong?
Anna flapped her wings and immediately chased after her, only to see a figure in the air that was also flying.
It's Lauren, Anna is happy, Lauren is back, which means that Lord Renault should be almost there.
"Hailei, come with me!"
Anna picked up Hailei, who looked inexplicable, and flew directly out of the city, and sure enough, she soon saw that a group of black figures were moving quickly in the pale.
"Lord Renault!"
Looking at Hai Lei, who was about to cry, Renault was still quite surprised.
"Are you alright?"
"Lord Renault, I'm fine. ”
"It's okay," said Renault, patting her on the head, "let's go home." ”
Hai Lei was stunned for a moment, then nodded fiercely.
At this time, the escorts who came to greet them also arrived, and hundreds of people came. They were all people who had been to the north this time, and they knew that the situation there was dangerous, and they were also extremely worried during this time.
"Lord Renault, you're back!"
Kreuzer, supported by several soldiers, also walked up slowly. After more than half a month of recuperation, his injuries have stabilized, but the whole person still looks very weak, and his face is as pale as snow everywhere.
"Kreuzer, why did you get out too?"
For the captain of the escort army, Renaud was even grateful in his heart, if he hadn't stepped forward to help him block an arrow, it was still unknown what the outcome would have been.
"My lord, I'm fine. ”
Renault beckoned and asked Lauren to quickly take him first, it was cold and snowy outside, and a wounded man ran out to do something.
When he returned to the Lord's Palace, Renaud found that the surrounding streets were quiet, except for the guards standing along the streets, there was not a single pedestrian on the street, and the feelings were to welcome him back, and these streets were under martial law.
Is it necessary to exaggerate it?
Renault frowned and just wanted to ask what was going on, when the five members of the Little Wolf Castle's Management Committee had already greeted him and respectfully invited him in.
Little Wolf Castle had nothing to do in the winter, and after Renault casually inquired and arranged the plan for the whole winter, he decided to rush back to Black Iron Town overnight.
The first is that he has been away for so long, he is worried that Mia will be fooling around in Black Iron Town, and the second is that he checked Kreuzer's injury just now, although the surface is better, but the injured internal organs are deteriorating.
If he doesn't receive good treatment in time, it is estimated that he will not last long.
Knowing that Renault was leaving overnight, the five committee members looked at each other as if they wanted to say something.
"Something to say directly. ”
These guys are mysterious, Renault is uncomfortable when he looks at it, and the surrounding streets are all under martial law, so it is probably their idea.
"This ......" The oldest member of the committee hesitated, and finally under the gaze of Renault's eyes, he said stubbornly, "My lord, during your absence, the Black Sheep family issued a reward. ”
"What bounty?"
"This ...... It is said that he is willing to pay a million gold coins to have someone assassinate you. ”
Renault was stunned for a moment, this black sheep family can really do anything. The army failed to attack, and then used this kind of indiscriminate means.
A million gold coins, Renault touched his chin and thought, there must be a lot of outlaws who are eager to do this.
However, Renault didn't care about this matter at all, just some gangsters, although a little annoying, he didn't change his itinerary because of this.
"Don't worry about such trivial things. ”
Is this still a trifle?
The five committee members looked at him in surprise, if another nobleman was offered a reward of one million, I am afraid that he would have been frightened to dig a cellar and hide himself.
You must know that on the Oro continent, there are many prestigious groups that specialize in these shady things.
"Your Excellency, you must be careful, we have received news that the people of the Silver Sword Society have already released a message that they must get this reward. ”
The Silver Sword Club?
It's a really interesting name.
However, Renault still didn't take a small organization hidden in the darkness to heart, and if he wanted to die, just come. (To be continued.) )
