"How else can there be such a thing?"

I have to say that this incident really shocked Jiang Hao.

You must know that in this world, the nobles with big butts are not dared to be provoked by various caravans or mercenary groups.

Once provoked, it is a felony of disrespecting the nobility.

If this matter reaches the royal capital, it will inevitably attract the encirclement and suppression of the kingdom army.

The reason why the kingdom can be called a kingdom is because of those kingdom armies under Nia.

Every soldier has the ability to do what he does, so that no other neighboring country or principality dares to offend.

"Are they not afraid that these things will reach the ears of the king? That wouldn't be a joke. ”

When the boss heard Jiang Hao say this, he sighed helplessly.

You must know that Jiang Hao is not the only one who has said this sentence.

"We also want to have a chance to meet the king, let alone the king, we can't even see a member of the royal family, and I guess we won't have the opportunity to meet in this life......"

When the boss said these words, his tone was full of desperation.

However, he never expected that sitting next to Jiang Hao was the general who specialized in commanding the kingdom army.

And he is also a member of the royal family.

"No, if the people can find a way to get out, they can also find a caravan to the kingdom and go to the royal capital."

Tifa was a little puzzled.

"That's true, although commoners will be censored when they go to see the king, but it stands to reason that they won't be able to put a word in the king's ears?"

Although the current old king Bataiil is a little deaf.

But at least it hasn't turned into a tyrant who kills innocents indiscriminately.

And Nia hasn't experienced civilians coming to complain.

In general, the guards guarding the door will make things difficult.

But there is no way to do it.

You can't just put it in by yourself, right?

But their appeals still reached the ears of the old king through the mouths of the guards.

"Alas...... Not to mention, those mercenaries are very brutal, do you see those guards at the door? It's all their people. ”

At this moment, Jiang Hao understood.

Jiang Hao was still wondering.

If the town's doormen would frequently ask for bribes.

This town probably doesn't exist anymore.

After all, this is a border area of human territory.

And it is a must for all adventurers or explorers.

If a bad habit occurs frequently, it will be complained about long ago.

Once it is "blocked" by the entire guild, then it can basically be concluded that he has been expelled.

"In other words, these situations have only started in the past month or two?"

"That's right, that's right."

The boss wanted to give some information, but when he saw a mercenary group walking towards the counter, he could only keep his mouth shut.

Seeing all this, Jiang Hao's heart was very uncomfortable.

What he didn't understand was why the town had become like this, and the "lord of the high ranks" hadn't come down to care about his people.

"In that case, let's go find the lord here."

For Jiang Hao's proposal, everyone did not object.

After all, if they didn't solve the abnormal situation near the Misty Forest, they would not be able to move an inch.

In this case, it is better to help the town solve some problems, so that not only can they gather some special information, but also remove the obstacles to the progress of the four of them.

However, the heavens did not grant the wish.

When the four of them pulled out the lord's castle, Jiang Hao seemed to have an eerie feeling.

Ordinary castle, rich and luxurious.

It was a symbol of wealth and power.

Even if you are a low-key person, at least you won't let a layer of spider webs form near your noble symbol.

"This place doesn't feel right to me......"

Jiang Hao was very skeptical that something had gone wrong with this lord, or if he had already fled.

At least the castle looks like it hasn't been repaired for a long time.

There are no guards at the door, which is not what a lord should be.

Anything can be concise, but personal safety should be the top priority no matter what.

So saying, the group walked together to the castle.

As soon as he entered the castle, Jiang Hao smelled a very fishy smell.

"It's blood."

Nia on the battlefield immediately distinguished.

She was all too familiar with the smell.

As long as a battle is over, she has to endure the smell.

"Could it be that the lord here has already been killed?"

Continuing to walk forward, Jiang Hao found some armor that had been discarded here.

It's rusty and doesn't seem to have been cleaned up in a while.

"There's a secret door here!"

Suddenly, Tifa spotted a strange button.

I saw that after pressing it, there was a slight vibration between the walls.

Immediately after, a secret passage appeared in front of Tifa's eyes.

It stands to reason that such a secret passage will be set up in the castle of a nobleman.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.

"Could it be that these people escaped outside the city through this secret passage?"

Hearing Tifa say this, Jiang Hao thought the same thing at first.

But then something felt wrong.

A lord, no matter how greedy he is for life and afraid of death, is unlikely to give up his territory.

Even a villain like General York still has to rely on his territory to strengthen his pocket.

If the lord of this town had really escaped, he would definitely want to move the troops from the principality's side.

According to the tavernkeeper, the place had been impregnated by the mercenaries for a long time, and it didn't look like anyone had gone out to report it.

"Let's go in and have a look."

With a curious attitude, Jiang Hao took the lead in entering this secret passage.

"You guys go in first, I'll continue to search the castle to see if there is any other information."

Americk didn't know why, but he always felt that there were other secrets hidden in this castle.

So he first let Tifa and Nia enter the secret passage to follow Jiang Hao.

And he was alone, on the second floor, ready to see what was going on in the town.

After following Jiang Hao for a while, the three of them felt that the smell of blood was even stronger.

"Ahh

With Tifa's scream, Jiang Hao found a corpse.

It has been stripped down to the bottom of the pants.

Finally, at the end of this secret passage, Jiang Hao found a person tied up in a small cell.

This is also the only one who is tied up.

"He won't be ......"

Nia hurried up to check.

Suddenly, she froze.

"It's out of gas, and if nothing else, he should be the lord of this territory......"

Nia picked up a saber with the family crest of the nobles on it.
