"Do you recognize me?" Leon was startled at first, he didn't expect that there would be someone here who knew him, and he expressed it in such an exaggerated way.

There is nothing like television in this world where you can meet those important people at will, even if a lord travels in his own territory, it can be said that there are not many people who know him except for those who have met before, let alone Earl Campbell's grandson, who spends his days drinking and is not interested in the big and small things in the territory at all.

It can be said that the former Leon is a good example of the word "unsuccessful", and most of the time he will not stay well in the territory, and as for the border town of Locketown, he has almost never been to it, so he thinks that no one here will know him at all.

But this middle-aged man is the sheriff of the town, and Earl Campbell originally stipulated that the sheriffs should go to the lord's manor every month to report on all matters that happened in the village and town, so he has seen Leon twice a few times, although Leon doesn't remember, how could the sheriff under the lord's rule ignore it? This young man is his future lord!

When the news of the Earl's family was killed spread to the surrounding villages and towns, the people suddenly felt that the sky was about to fall. Not to mention that the Earl has deterred the enemies around the territory by force, but the annual tax rate and the relaxed system have made these people grateful from the bottom of their hearts, and they think that their happy life can last for a long time, until this earth-shattering news arrives.

For a while, all the lords were a little at a loss, and their mood was more like they had lost their extremely important support and went up and down, and some of the lords even cried bitterly several times because of the fact that the kind lord was killed.

When the sheriff heard the news, he rushed to the castle as soon as he heard the news, and was there to help the army deal with the aftermath for a long time, so that he did not catch up with the battle that took place in Locketown, and certainly did not know that Leon had participated in the battle.

But it was only after many days at the scene that he heard an unconfirmed news that the body of the earl's grandson had not been found.

The news only circulated for a short time, and several charred corpses were found from under the castle, one of which was somewhat similar to Leon's figure, and since Leon's whereabouts could not be found, the military classified the lord's direct blood relatives as dead.

However, the sheriff Carey still had a fluke in his heart, feeling that since there was no direct evidence to prove it, it meant that the lord's descendants still had a glimmer of hope for survival, and perhaps they had gone to the ball in some city at the time of the tragedy - this little nobleman had a similar "criminal record" before.

So when he returned to Locketown, he still regarded himself as a sheriff under the lord, and tried his best to keep everything as it was, but this expectation began to fade as the days passed. Soon, a mob from the south attacked the border, and then a nobleman showed up in Campbell and moved into the lord's manor, which made Carey anxious. As a sheriff for many years, even if Leon's reputation is bad, he is still a legitimate descendant of the lord, and if Leon is really not dead, it is the most suitable and most popular choice for him to inherit the lord.

Two months later, when the nobles had taken over control of most of the towns, and the tentacles began to make their way back to the border towns, Carey finally lost hope.

Even if Leon was as he imagined, two months would be enough to hear the news and rush back, so he knew that the descendant of this lord must be dead.

At the same time as he was disappointed, representatives of the nobles finally arrived in Locketown, and proposed harsh tax rates and orders of absolute obedience, and the townspeople were immediately outraged. Although Carey came forward to argue, he knew deep down that there was not much hope for these efforts, the other party was a viscount, how could these ordinary civilians be comparable?

But the townsfolk did not know this, and their words were so fierce that they slammed the tax collector into a rage, and if it had not been for the timely appearance of the captain of the guard, the viscount's men would probably have already begun to act.

At this moment, a convoy appeared, and the young man who came down from it looked a little familiar at first glance, and when he wiped his eyes several times, looked at it seriously for a while, and finally recognized it.

"Really...... Lord Leon really isn't dead...... My insistence was right......"

Carey half-knelt on the ground with the courtesy of facing the lord, holding the young man's hand, and the old tears were in his eyes.

"Carey......" Guard Captain Grace's voice also trembled a little, "You—What did you say?"

"Leon is back......," Carey burst into tears, "Lord Lord's grandson is back!"

The agitated sheriff didn't hear Grace's question, but repeated it upside down.

The surrounding townsfolk also heard it, and they stared blankly at the young man who appeared in front of them, and their hearts were even more puzzled.

Leon was very touched in his heart, he knew that he had a bad reputation in the territory before, but people like Carey still thought that he was their lord, in fact, this was also the inheritance of his grandfather's prestige.

He picked up Carey with both hands, patted the other man on the shoulder, and then raised his voice and said, "That's right, I'm Leon Redfield, the grandson of Earl Campbell, I'm not dead, I'm back!"

There was a commotion in the crowd, not only the townspeople, but also the soldiers of the garrison, who heard it, but for a moment could not believe it.

In fact, it was not that they couldn't believe it, but they were afraid that if they believed it, they would find out that it was a misunderstanding, and after what happened to the Earl, they could no longer bear the next blow.

And another group of people are also talking to each other, it is the tax collector and his men. The tax officer's face was gloomy, and he and the people around him muttered, not knowing what they were saying, but soon two people broke away from the crowd and headed out of town.

Few people noticed this, but at this point Carey finally recovered a little, and he stood beside Leon, raised his hand and shouted to the familiar townspeople, "Yes, I know him, he is the grandson of Lord Earl, our current lord, Lord Leon!"

"Lord Earl's grandson, Lord Earl's family has left a bloodline?"

"Great...... God has eyes!"

"Leon, my lord, we have our own lord again?"

......

......

Soon the townsfolk reacted, and the crowd immediately erupted in loud cheers - "Lord Lord is back!"

To be honest, Li Ang was really not too accustomed to this extremely enthusiastic atmosphere, especially in the presence of "outsiders", so he raised his hands to signal to everyone.

"Now that I'm back, I'll have time to meet in the future, but there is still something for me to deal with, so let's be quiet for a while. ”

The crowd soon fell silent, and Leon was only making his debut, and his influence was not at all comparable to that of the tax collector sent by the nobles.

"I was going to kill my people just now...... Is that you?" said Leon in a mocking tone as he walked through the crowd to the tax collector.

"Your lords, ridiculous!" said the tax collector with a gloomy face, "If you call yourself a lord, may I ask the canonization of His Majesty the King?"

He didn't doubt Li Ang's identity, the reason was the same as those before him, if this young man really came here to pretend, then he was purely looking for his own death.

"It's just a formality, and without the canonization of Wen Jiàn, I, Leon Redfield, can't call myself a lord?" Leon's tone turned flat, "Who taught you this? Could it be Viscount Andre?"

The tax collector choked and didn't speak for a while.

He originally thought that his words could bluff the other party, but he didn't expect to be unceremoniously blocked back by Li Ang, and it also implied a fierce counterattack.

As a field nobleman, you do need the canonization of King Sver, but that is only for those who are first crowned nobles, or to promote a nobleman to a higher level, like Li Ang, as a direct bloodline, after the death of a nobleman, if there is no one else in the order to inherit the throne, he will automatically inherit the noble title and fief, and the canonization will be issued immediately after the king officially confirms the inheritance qualifications, so it is indeed equivalent to going through a procedure.

But Leon deliberately expanded the problem in the tax officer's words indefinitely, and if it was spread according to this meaning, it would be attacked by all the nobles. Because whether intentionally or unintentionally, this statement puts royal power above the lord's succession, which is equivalent to misinterpreting the inheritance system of the nobility, and once someone seriously investigates it, it can be regarded as a serious crime. In particular, Leon also asked if he meant to be Viscount Andre, obviously wanting to involve the Viscount.

"This kid's intentions are really sinister!"

The tax officer knew the rumors about Li Ang, he should be a playful ** nobleman, he should be a young man who doesn't know anything, how could he suddenly be so shrewd, not only caught the leak in his words at once, but also backhanded a trick!
