The Extraordinary Earl

Fire inheritance!

Luther looked at Xiu Xiuya who came down the stairs, and then glanced at Old Sol, as well as Magellan and the old housekeeper beside Old Sol.

This is the legacy of the Pompeii family.

The leader of the Pompeii family, the Knights of Pompeii.

The leader of the Iron Horse family, Pompeii's retainer, and the Knight of the Iron Horse.

The housekeepers of the Pompeii family, the Phelan family.

This is how the Pompeii family has been passed down from generation to generation, and with the promotion of Xiu Xiuya, it means that although the older generation is still in its prime, the new generation has risen.

Their time has gradually arrived.

And in my hands, Pompeii will go further, far better than its ancestors.

"Sir Knight!" Xiu Xiuya, like his father Magellan, is a man of few words. Usually his face is expressionless, but at this moment, there is a smile and a touch of excitement on his face.

No matter what kind of person you are, you will be excited and happy when you are promoted to a knight.

After Xiu Xiuya stepped into the hall, he immediately knelt on one knee in front of Old Sol, and met the family head as the next generation head of the Iron Horse family and a knight of the Pompeii family.

"Hahaha, okay. Under the current circumstances, it's great that you can be promoted to a knight, Xiu Xiuya." Old Thor laughed, sincerely happy, and bent down to help Xiu Xiuya up.

Magellan and the old butler Feren also had a smile on their faces.

Luther heard something strange. He looked at his father and asked, "Under the current situation? Dad, what happened recently?"

Luther affirmed that the territory is currently absolutely peaceful and peaceful.

In such a small territory, if there is any trouble, it will never be hidden from his ears. In other words, if something happened, it happened from the city.

The Pompeii Territory is a bit far away from the city, and only Old Sol can get first-hand information.

As for the last incident involving Lucy and Barton, Luther still remembered it in his heart. Naturally, my heart skipped a beat. Did something happen to Baron Barton?

Is the Patton family in danger of falling apart?

This is a bit conflicting with Luther's plan. After all, Luther plans to grow up obscenely first, and the ruin of the Barton family will be decades later. It is estimated that at that time, Luther was already a nobleman and had huge power.

The troubles in the Barton family will not affect the Pompeii family.

And if anything happens to Baron Barton at this time, and trouble breaks out immediately in the Barton family, then the Pompeii family will inevitably fall into a political storm.

It's the exact opposite of Luther's obscene development plan.

Old Sol nodded and said: "I originally planned to announce it, but it was preempted by Xiu Xiuya's promotion." After a pause, Old Sol said solemnly: "The Barton family was robbed, and it seems that it was the thief Kurd. The Baron is currently looking for Kurd across the country. This thief Kurd should have the strength of an intermediate knight. If he escapes to our Pompeii territory, it will be a tricky thing for us. It is of course good to have more combat power at this time. "

Kurdish thief?

Luther raised his eyebrows. The most popular supernatural powers in the world are of course knights and wizards. There are no stealth thieves.

Of course a wizard cannot be a thief.

Therefore, generally the thieves on the move are people with knightly abilities.

The thief Kurd, according to the intelligence circulating outside, has the strength of an intermediate knight. Among the thieves wanted in the entire province, he is at the middle level.

And such a thief cannot easily sneak into the Baron's house. Because the contemporary Baron Barton has the strength of a high-level knight.

The baron's home must also be heavily guarded.

The thief Kurd sneaked into the baron's house and stole something. This is very difficult. Of course, what makes Luther even more curious is what kind of treasure is in the Baron's home that attracted the thief Kurd, and he did not hesitate to take such a big risk to steal it.

"Is there any other information? For example, when Kurd was discovered, did he fight with the guards of the Baron's family? Was he injured?"

Luther asked.

"I heard that there was a fierce battle, and the Kurds were injured to some extent, but the extent of the injuries is unknown. The city is currently under martial law, and the Kurds have not been caught. According to official judgment, the Kurds should have left the city. It is very likely that it will be carried out in the countryside. Hiding, our territory has to be defended.”

Old Sol said seriously.

Luther nodded, this was very possible.

Because Pompeii Territory is very remote and surrounded by forests. An intermediate knight, even if injured, should still be able to survive in the forest.

The vast forest is the best hiding place.

Moreover, the Pompeii family is not very powerful. Because before this, there were only three knights in the Pompeii family, Old Saul, Magellan, and Luther.

Maybe this Kurdish thief will get a vote in Pompeii.

All in all, the chances of Kurds coming to Pompeii are relatively high.

"Dad, I will tell Lelouch immediately. Send people to each village to ask the people to be more vigilant and try not to go hunting in the forest."

Luther made a decision immediately.

"Go ahead."

Old Sol nodded and said.

Without further ado.

Luther immediately hurried to the city hall and asked Lelouch to spread the news. And Old Sol asked Magellan to summon the guards in the castle to strengthen the alert.

As the news spread, the freedmen, under the organization of the village chief, formed groups of militia teams to patrol day and night.

The entire Pompeii territory was filled with a chilling atmosphere.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Pompeii Territory, in the forest near the road from Pompeii Territory to the city.

The road in the forest is of course not easy to walk. It's spring, the time when everything comes to life. All kinds of animals that have been hungry all winter come out to move around.

In this large forest, there are not only packs of wolves, but also brown bears, tigers and other beasts.

But to a knight, these beasts are nothing. Unless you encounter a monster.

At this moment, a man was resting on a stone in the forest. The stone was very smooth and was close to a small stream.

The man's clothes were very ordinary, as if he were a commoner. The appearance is also very ordinary, the type that won't be looked at twice if placed in a crowd of people.

There was a gash on the man's chest, and his clothes were stained with blood.

The man's face was a little pale, a knight's sword was stuck next to the big stone, and the man was holding a book in his hand.

It is none other than Kurd, the big thief.

Kurd glanced down at his wound, which was stuttering. But there was still a dull pain. This wound came from an intermediate knight, and fighting spirit was raging on the wound.

Although I have used good medicine for gold sores, it is not that easy to cure.

"What on earth are you?" Kurd asked after looking at the wound and raising the book in his hand.

Will a book answer?

Under normal circumstances, there will be no answer.

But this book answers it.

"This is the book of wise men."

Although this was not the first time he spoke after seeing this book, Kurd still had a flash of horror in his eyes.

What kind of things did I steal from the Barton family this time?
