Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Did you hear the rumors? There’s an intermediate knight that appeared in Mawa City with an elf and a mount wolf. The cost of that insane!” As the news began to spread in Mawa City, it spread like wildfire, and it became more exaggerated.

There was a mercenary group that occupied Mawa City. They were considered as a legal group of mercenaries. However, sometimes they would join up with a group of thieves to do immoral businesses. Whilst this group of mercenaries had also received the news of Abel, many of them had lost their interest when they heard that there was an intermediate knight. They were also no match against an intermediate knight, and they didn’t dare to attack a noble motorcade. At the end of the day, there was always someone inside a group who was daring and greedy. Those individuals would be willing to attack nobles as long as they were able to earn gold from it.

“Master, an intermediate knight has appeared in Mawa City journeying with an elf and a mount wolf, as well as plenty of valuables.” This news had traveled to the ears of the leader of the Sandstorm mercenary gang in Mawa city

The elite soldier of Hume was calculating if they were able to pull off the attack on the noble carriages... “An elf is worth tens of thousands of gold. Legends claimed that after mount wolf had identified its master, it can’t find another. There’s also a large number of valuables that’s immeasurable.”

If you were to kill a noble knight, you must do it cleanly. There cannot be any evidence left behind. Otherwise, if the noble tribunal found out, they would endlessly hunt whoever had killed that noble. Furthermore, with the recent task, the mercenary group had lost some of its men. Just paying off that compensation had already given a lot of financial pressure to Hume, but this one-off business would generate tens of thousands of gold income for them, which also made him extremely eager to take the risk.

It was only an intermediate knight. For an Elite soldier like Hume, he didn’t think an intermediate Knight’s fighting power would be that much better than his. Along with the help of other mercenaries, dealing with an intermediate knight shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

“Alright, we are doing it!” The Elite Soldiers of Hume began to organize his soldiers, preparing.

......

Unlike Harvest City, where the military and political powers were all in the hands of Viscount Dickens, Mawa City had only about half of the military power in the hands of head commander Hopkins, and the other half was controlled by the ruler of the city.

Head commander Hopkins was listening to reports from his subordinates regarding the recent rumors in his residence in Mawa City. When he heard there was a mount wolf , he immediately laughed and said, “My dear friends came to Mawa City and did not even visit me, such a shame.”

Head commander Hopkins then turned towards his steward, he said, “Steward, let send someone to investigate who had spread these rumors, and find who dared harm against my precious guests”

During their conversation, the room flashed with a sense of chilliness in the air. When the steward bowed their underling couldn’t help feel a shiver running down their spin. The steward understood head commander Hopkins. The head commander already had a desire to kill. He wondered who these friends of the head commander were–a mere rumor was enough to trigger a desire to kill within the head commander.

On one hand, Head commander Hopkins really wanted to befriend Abel, having a friend that was a master blacksmith as well as a genius knight would be beneficial to him and his family in both the present and future.

Moreover, head commander Hopkins had also promised in front of Viscount Dickens in Harvest City that he would provide Abel a warm welcome if he ever visited Mawa City. If Abel was attacked in Mawa City, no matter if he was harmed or not, it would result in a loss of dignity for him. When the two head commanders meet in the future, he would certainly be mocked for his lack of effort in protecting Abel.

“Yes, my master.” The housekeeper bowed back.

In the seemingly calm town of Mawa City, a storm was brewing, triggered by the whim of a Lord, and the intelligence systems used for the military presence. Channels that the magistrates would not normally have been able to obtain were quietly amassing information to the military intelligence service.

At the same time, Abel was leisurely drinking master’s essence condensing potion. He had already drunk nearly 70 bottles along the way, any drinks that taste incredible would taste like rubbish after drinking so much of it, not to mention the potion was a medicine too. Though the potions were upgraded to the master’s level, it certainly did not cause any big of a change to the taste.

Abel was now very experienced in drinking potions, poured directly into his throat to minimize the irritation of his tongue.

He slowly enjoyed the potion spread in his body. After five days of nonstop master’s essence condensing potion drinking, the pale gold combat qi within Abel had gotten thicker and more compressed. Every time the pale gold combat qi had rushed through Abel’s body, his body composition would get stronger. In these past five days, Abel could clearly felt that he had gotten stronger. Although he could not precisely measure how much strength he had gained, Abel was sure he had gained at least 10 percent more.

Loraine, who was sitting beside Abel, was a little curious about what he was drinking all the way, but since Abel didn’t explain it to her, the intelligent elf wasn’t going to ask him what it was. She quietly looked out the window to the streets outside.

Feeling that the potion in his body began to exert its power calmly, Abel opened his eyes and looked at Loraine, who looked longingly at the street. He could not help laughing. Even a fairy girl like Loraine had a strong desire to go shopping.

“Loraine, would you like to accompany me on a tour of Mawa City?” Abel said to Loraine.

Loraine’s mouth curved slightly as she nodded with great pleasure and excitement.

When Abel came out of the hotel, he not only took Loraine with him, but Black wind also stuck tightly beside him. With a mischievous mount wolf like Black wind, god knows what would happen if no one was watching it. Since Abel had brought Black wind, he decided to take 6 knights servants alongside with him.

It was getting late and it wasn’t too hot. It was a perfect time to go out since Mawa City became lively.

Abel thought that Loraine could not ride a horse, so originally he was planning to get on a carriage. However, when Abel asked Loraine, he immediately realized that as an elf, she was naturally able to communicate with most animals.

During their tour in Mawa City, Abel discovered something strange when leaving the hotel. He noticed that there was someone following him, but the person following them was quickly dragged out with force by someone. Abel was unfamiliar with how things work in Mawa City, and he was getting too powerful nowadays anyway, so he didn’t think too much.

By dinner time, Abel and Loraine had already returned to the hotel. It was a short tour, but Loraine had laughed a lot. During dinner, she could not help talking to The Lord Of Marshall about what she had seen in Mawa City.

Early the next morning, just as Abel and Lord Marshall were getting ready to leave, a loud voice came from the hotel door. “Master Abel, you came to Mawa City without notifying me!”

There was a reproach in the voice, but everyone knew it sounded like a conversation between friends. Abel then quickly realized it was the voice of head commander Hopkins, but he felt a little strange, how did he realize that he was visiting Mawa City without even telling him about it?

“Commander Hopkins, what are you doing here?” Abel hurried a few steps to the door of the hotel, where the head commander Hopkins was waiting for him.

The busy street in front of the hotel should have been busy in the morning, but now the whole street was silent except for head commander Hopkins. and a dozen guards standing behind him in the middle of the street.

“Master Abel, I’ve come to say goodbye to you!” ‘laughed commander Kelvin, as he directly pointed to something that covered in cloth on the ground behind him, he said, “These are some of the troubles I’ve solved for you.”

With a wave of his hand, several attendants pulled the cloth apart, and on the ground there were piles of human heads.

Loraine, who was behind Abel was immediately shocked from what she had witnessed, she started moving closer towards Abel as he gently pulled Loraine behind him.

Black wind gave a low whine to the skull on the ground, showing his teeth, which were already sharp.

Abel looked at the head commander Hopkins with a sense of confusion. Head commander Hopkins then pointed to the first head and explained, “This is Lord Tuttle, he was planning to murder a coat of arms knight. After being captured, he was killed when he tried to resist .”

Abel recognized the head of Lord Tuttle at a glance. It was the noble who had revealed a sense of malicious intention yesterday when Abel had just entered the hotel,

Abel would have never have guessed that men would be killed the next day. In regards to “killed when he tried to resist. Abel would gamble on his life that. No way that a noble, without any fighting power, would be dumb enough to resist the capture of a head commander. This was probably just an excuse head commander Hopkins had made

Pointing to the second pile of a dozen heads, he said, “These are Lord Tuttle’s men who were spreading the words that you have came with great wealth.”

Pointing to the last pile of heads, up to a hundred of them, he said, “This is the Elite soldier of Hume with his Berserkers’ mercenaries.”
