"Huh..."

Hodler stopped his horse, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the manor in the distance.

"Boss, they seem to have discovered us?" Nott on the carriage stood up and looked far away. After seeing the farm slaves running out of the farmland outside the manor, he spoke.

"Well... we are indeed on guard." Hod nodded, thought for a while, turned his head and told the robbers on the carriage: "Put away the fierce expressions on your faces, otherwise anyone who sees us will think we are not good."

"Boss... I look fierce..." Nott scratched his head and said naively.

Hod glared at Nott speechlessly, then took a deep breath, showed a kind smile, and rode his horse slowly towards the manor.

Seeing this, the robbers on the carriage also squeezed out a stiff smile and drove the carriage behind them.

"Swoosh!"

Accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, an arrow shot out from the watchtower and landed just a few meters away from Hood.

"Who are you? What are you doing in Kingsley Manor?"

On the watchtower, a burly manor guard wearing half-leather armor held a light crossbow and stared at Hood and others below with vigilance, shouting loudly.

Looking at the crossbow arrow deeply inserted into the ground with its tail feathers still trembling, a barely perceptible cold light flashed in Hood's eyes, but it soon disappeared.

He carefully observed the wall of the manor in front of him, raised his mouth slightly, revealing a seemingly friendly smile, and then raised his voice to respond: "

We are bounty hunters from Rhine Town. This time we went out to find criminals active in the wild. Just when we passed by here, we accidentally discovered this manor, so we wanted to come over to say hello to the owner of the manor and ask for some information about the nearby area. I hope to get your understanding and help."

Hearing Hood's explanation, the manor guard relaxed his vigilance a little, but still maintained a cautious attitude and continued to ask: "Kingsley Manor is Master Victor 's property, the master hasn't gotten up yet, and the manor is temporarily in the charge of Steward Abner. "

Hodder looked up at the sky, frowned slightly, turned to look at the manor guard holding a light crossbow, raised a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said gently: "Brother, can you help me and notify Steward Abner? We have been in the wild for a long time, and we are really exhausted. We want to enter the manor and have a good rest. "

The manor guard holding a light crossbow was slightly stunned, and seemed to be a little hesitant, but finally nodded, and then waved to a companion below, signaling him to notify Steward Abner.

Not long after, Steward Abner appeared in the watchtower.

He leaned out, squinted his eyes and observed carefully. After confirming that Hodder's group had only seven people, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I am Kingsley's steward. What do you want to see me for?" Abner shouted loudly from the watchtower, with a hint of vigilance in his voice.

Hearing Abner's words, Hood smiled friendly and quickly replied: "Hello, I'm very happy to meet you. I am Charlie, the captain of this bounty hunter team. We have been wandering in the wild for a long time. I hope to rest in your manor. Is that okay? Of course, we will pay the corresponding reward, please rest assured."

After that, Hood looked at Abner kindly and waited for his answer.

"Are you sure it's just them?"

Manager Abner whispered to the manor guard beside him.

"Well, yes, I didn't find anyone else nearby." The manor guard also whispered back.

Abner thought about it. If there were only seven people on the other side, there was no need to worry that they were disguised as criminals. There were so many people in the manor. Even if they were robbers and bandits, they were definitely not the opponents of the manor guards.

Besides, the efficiency of the manor was not very good recently. If you can earn some extra money, it can more or less subsidize it.

After making up his mind, Steward Abner smiled. He stuck his head out again and said loudly, "Please wait a moment. I will have someone open the gate right away."

After he finished speaking, Abner waved to the manor guards below. Under the expectant eyes of Hood and Nott, the double oak door was slowly opened.

"Wait for my order before you act. Remember our identities now." Hood turned his head and whispered to the robbers in the carriage, then he got off the horse and walked towards the manor.

Nott and his men also jumped off the carriage and followed Hood to the manor.

"Everyone, Kingsley Manor welcomes you." At this moment, Steward Abner had climbed down from the watchtower. He brought several guards with him.Arrived at the door.

"Thank you, Steward Abner." Hood smiled.

After saying that, he took out three silver deer from his arms and handed them over. Abner immediately greeted him with a smile. As soon as he took the silver deer, his expression was obviously startled, and then after he reacted, the smile on his face became more and more intense.

"Please come in, Captain Charlie." Abner was secretly happy and stretched out his hand to signal Hood and others to enter the manor.

Hood smiled at Steward Abner, and the two nodded to each other tacitly.

After Hood and Nott and others were introduced into the manor, Steward Abner stuffed the two silver deer that Hood had put into his palm together with the three silver deer into his arms.

"Standard Abner, can you send us some food? We haven't eaten hot food for a long time."

The group walked into the reception room of the main castle of the manor, and asked after Hood sat down.

"Oh, of course, please wait a moment." Abner, who was stuffed with two silver deer, responded directly, and then turned and walked out of the reception room and walked towards the kitchen.

"Boss, are we going to do it now?"

Nott looked out through the window of the reception room, and after finding that the serfs had dispersed and only a few guards were left, he walked to Hood and whispered.

Hood pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Let's see later."

Nott nodded, and then looked at the things placed in the reception room.

At this time, Paul suddenly stood up, nodded to Hood, and walked out of the reception room.

Then, the sound of Paul and the guards talking came from outside the door.

After a while, Paul returned to the reception room. He walked to Hood, whispered a few words, and returned to his seat.

The others looked at Paul curiously, wondering what he said to their leader.

At this time, the departing steward Abner also came in with two servants carrying food.

"Captain Charlie, the efficiency of the manor has not been very good recently, and these are the only food for the time being." Steward Abner said apologetically.

Hod glanced at the food the servants brought, thick soup, bread, and a few apples.

"Thank you very much, we are already very satisfied with these." Hod stood up and thanked.

"Then you eat first, I will go to inform the master of your arrival." Steward Abner gestured with his hand, then turned and left.

"Eat, so that you can work after eating!" Hod picked up a bowl of thick soup and said in a deep voice...
