The Extraordinary Earl

The two people said something, and Kurd immediately looked around, pretending to be nonchalant and asked: "When I came back to Pompeii before, there were no checkpoints here. Why is there a checkpoint this time?"

The guard shook his head and said: "It's not that big thief Kurd who committed a big crime in the city. The lord is afraid that the Kurd will flee to Pompeii, so let us set up checkpoints here. Not only that, the free people and serfs in Pompeii They all formed teams and patrolled day and night."

Having said this, the guard smiled and reassured Kurd: "But there is no need to worry too much. There are now a total of four knights in Pompeii, including the lord. And the big thief Kurd heard that he was injured, and the guard was so tight. , forget it if he doesn’t come, if he comes, he will be captured by the lord.”

Kurd nodded with a smile on his face, naturally disapproving in his heart.

I am a serious Pompeian. As long as I don't show my flaws, even though there are four knights in Pompeii, they can't do anything to me.

What's the use of being heavily guarded?

But Kurd was quite surprised, because the previous information was that there were three knights in Pompeii, but now there was one more knight.

Kurd knew Pompeii very well and couldn't help but ask: "Is it the next generation of the Iron Horse family who has become a knight?"

"Yes, it's Lord Xiu Xiuya." The guard nodded and said.

"The little devils are starting to show their talents. This is the nobility. If there are no accidents, the Pompeii family will continue to exist."

Kurd felt a little envious.

However, Kurd grabbed his package and felt the "Book of Sages" inside the package. Kurd was no longer envious in his heart.

With this treasure, the power of the Pompeii family is nothing.

After a few words with this guard, Kurd said goodbye and entered the territory of Pompeii. Kurd's home is in Tun No. 8, Pompeii.

After entering Pompeii, Kurd was also a little surprised because the situation was slightly different from what he had remembered. The road became smooth and clean.

The feces that used to be everywhere can no longer be seen.

"Damn it, I haven't been back for just a few years. How come the countryside is cleaner than the city?" Kurd thought to himself.

Kurd feels that the Pompeii collar is different now, very different. It's definitely not just a change in the number of knights.

Soon, Kurd returned to Pompeii Tun No. 8, outside his brother's home.

Like most free people in Pompeii, this was a two-story wooden house. Except for some special paint on the roof, the outside of the house kept the wooden color.

A wooden fence was built outside the house, and there were chickens, ducks, dogs and other livestock inside the fence. With the arrival of the Kurds, a black hound rushed out madly, barking and barking.

The sound of barking dogs fell rapidly like a thunderstorm.

"Hey, Ryan, we haven't seen each other for a few years and you don't recognize me yet?" Kurd stretched out his right hand like lightning, grabbed the hound's neck and lifted it up.

"Woo." The hound was suddenly frightened and made a whining sound.

"Who?"

The movement outside attracted the attention of the owner of the house, and a middle-aged woman came out. The woman glanced at Kurd, was surprised at first, and then asked uncertainly: "Is it Arnold?"

"Hi, Jonny." Kurd put down the frightened hound and greeted him cordially.

"It's really Arnold, are you back?" The middle-aged woman's face showed joy, and she greeted Kurd cordially.

………….

Ten days later, in Pompeii Castle, in Old Sol's study.

Old Sol was sitting on the chair, leaning on the back of the chair, with a piece of parchment placed in front of the desk. On the parchment, there were lines of Prussian writing.

The coat of arms of the Barton family is printed below.

This is an official document.

"Dad, what's in the official document?" Luther asked curiously, standing in front of Old Saul.

"The Baron has issued a reward for providing information about the Kurds, one thousand gold coins, ten thousand captured alive, and five thousand killed." Old Sol said.

"Ten thousand people captured alive? This is higher than the taxes we collected in Pompeii for ten years." Luther said in shock.

In this world, gold coins are the hard currency among the people. In the Kingdom of Prussia, they are called Prussian gold shields. In a small rural place like Pompeii's house, the tax revenue of one thousand gold coins a year is already a high price.

After being speechless, Luther touched his chin again and said curiously: "But because of this, I am very curious about what kind of treasures Kurd stole from the baron's mansion."

"Why doesn't this big thief Kurd come? The baron angrily announced a high reward. Kurd's treasure must be very amazing. Is it some kind of precious potion? Or is it a wizard's treasure? A sharp weapon?"

Luther couldn't help but think about it.

To this great thief, one could not wait to say, "Come on, come on, come on to Pompeii."

This is like giving me a novice gift package.

Old Sol knew his son better now. When he saw Luther's expression, he knew what Luther was planning.

He couldn't help but frown and reprimanded: "Don't make any assumptions. Once you find Kurd, kill him immediately and get the treasure and return it to the Baron. If you can't kill him, report it to the Baron."

"I didn't have any evil intentions." Of course Luther denied it. However, he didn't take Old Sol's words seriously. A lord and noble who doesn't want to become a noble is definitely not a good lord and noble.

However, the Pompeii family has been serving the Barton family as lords and nobles for generations. Although Old Sol is called the Golden Lion Saul, he has a natural inferiority mentality towards the Barton family.

Transformation takes time.

And this treasure may be another opportunity. How could Luther give up?

But Luther quickly laughed at himself, forget it, what's the use of thinking about this now? The thief Kurd is a man who caused a storm in Barton's territory.

Now it seems like a stone that fell into the sea and disappeared.

Even if the Kurds move to remote places in the countryside, they have multiple targets. Pompeii is not the only one they want to target, and even if they come, they may not be able to retain them.

Now I'm thinking too much about treasures.

It’s not too late to wait until the Kurds are truly discovered before thinking about the treasure.

There is a saying that goes well, it’s called “darkness under the light”. The origins of the Kurds are very mysterious, and no one knows where the Kurds are.

No one in Pompeii would have guessed that the Kurds were actually serious Pompeii people.

At present, the Kurds are living arrogantly in Pompeii territory.

It would be strange to find it.
