"Someone accepted the bounty?"
In the palace, Count Francis, who was sitting on the throne, frowned slightly.
He did not take this small matter to heart.
The notice had been posted for more than ten years.
There were at least a thousand brave men who overestimated themselves and wanted to save the princess.
However, the notice was still there, which showed the fate of these brave people.
The gnoll camp was not so easy to deal with.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so helpless as an Earl.
Moreover, the gnoll leader was a powerful demonic creature.
He wanted to kill the gnoll leader while being protected by countless gnolls.
Perhaps only Legendary powerhouses could do it easily.
"Legend…"
Count Francis sighed.
Such a powerful existence was one of the few experts in the Imperial City.
Their status was comparable to those of the great nobles.
How could she be interested in a small earl like him?
In comparison, it was better to think of a way to kill that damned banshee.
Although the banshee was powerful, she had a fatal weakness.
As long as he gave his soldiers a chance, they could easily subdue the banshee.
Boom!
Suddenly.
With a violent explosion, the sky was dyed red by the flames.
"What happened?"
The earl panicked and almost thought that the banshees from the Tranquil Forest had attacked.
However, after being an Earl for so many years, he was no longer the ignorant person from back then. He was still a little shrewd.
Even though his hands were trembling in panic, his expression remained calm.
"Earl, the commotion came from the gnoll camp.”
A palace guard ran in in a panic.
Gnoll camp?
Count Francis was slightly stunned.
Someone had just received the trial at the gnoll camp, and there was such a big commotion over there.
Was this a coincidence?
"Immediately send someone over to take a look at the situation!”
Half an hour later, a knight rushed in.
"Earl, the gold mine has been razed to the ground. All the gnolls have been eliminated!”
The knight's face was filled with indescribable horror and fear.
It was as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
"Really?"
Count Francis stood up and paced around the palace excitedly.
"Legend, it must be a Legendary-level Great Mage!”
"The heavens are truly relentless in our Francis Kingdom.”
After fishing for so many years, he finally caught a big fish.
Although he didn't know how strong the female monster was, he was still worried.
However, he was probably at the Legendary level at most.
If the Francis Kingdom also had a Legendary-mage backing them up…
Not only would the curse on his daughter be removed, but the threat of the Peaceful Forest would also disappear.
"Send out all the soldiers to look for the brave man who took down the notice. You must respectfully invite him to the palace.”
After strolling around outside for a while, Rhode returned to the castle with the Gnoll leader's head in hand.
The moment he entered the castle, a group of fully armed soldiers surrounded him.
Rhode raised his eyebrows and wondered if he had offended that big shot.
Why was there such a huge formation?
The captain of the soldiers took out a piece of paper that was drawn by an artist.
" He's tall and sturdy, handsome, and has a huge axe on his back. He's as dazzling as the sun, and no one dares to look at him directly..."
She muttered softly and sized up Rhode's body.
He was nearly two meters tall and his entire body was covered in strong muscles. The faint pressure he gave off was as if he was facing a rising sun.
The pure golden one-handed axe emitted a terrifying sharpness.
Looking at the gnoll leader's head in the other party's hand, the last trace of doubt in the soldier's heart disappeared.
"It's him!"
The captain put away the painting in his hand and asked carefully.
"Hero, is this the bounty you just posted?”
"It's me."
Rhode nodded curiously.
It was just a roll call. Did they still want to capture him?
After receiving an affirmative reply, the captain's expression was filled with respect as he bowed slightly.
He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"The Earl wants to invite you to a banquet in the palace. Please follow me!”
A banquet in the palace?
Rhode knew what was going on.
He had just lifted the notice when the gnoll camp was destroyed.
Any smart person would be able to link it to him.
"Lead the way!"
Rhode nodded and said calmly.
He knew that he was going to meet the Earl, but he was still so calm. Was it because he had already expected this outcome?
As expected of Lord Hero!
The captain sighed in his heart.
Looking at the captain's expression that said,'As expected of you', Rhode was confused.
Was this guy crazy?
Did he say anything?
Reality had proven that when a person embarked on the path of success, even a fart would be misinterpreted by others.
It was like a great writer carving the word "early" on his desk when he was young.
A simple matter would be crowned with all kinds of complicated arguments.
Luo De even remembered clearly that his language teacher had asked him in a serious tone about the author's emotions when he carved the word 'early' on the table.
Engraving words depended on one's mood and emotions?
It was f * cking ridiculous.
There were many students who carved words on their desks.
A child who was still in school. Wasn't it purely for fun to carve words?
Do I have to come up with a few hundred words of noble sentiments for you?
What was he thinking?
He was escorted by a group of soldiers onto a carriage.
Not long after, they arrived outside the palace.
After getting off the carriage, a red carpet that led straight into the palace was laid out to his feet. On both sides of the carpet stood two rows of fully armed knights.
"Almost."
Rhode pursed his lips.
This kind of formation could only deceive those country bumpkins who did not have much knowledge.
He was someone who had seen big scenes.
Compared to the time when the evil god descended, this scene was just child's play.
"Lord Hero, please!"
"The Earl is waiting for you in the palace!”
Rhode stepped on the red carpet and slowly ascended the stairs of the palace.
In the palace, beside a table filled with all kinds of delicacies.
One by one, the nobles in gorgeous clothes sat in their seats and whispered to each other.
They did not know why the Earl would suddenly summon them all over.
The earl who was sitting at the head of the table tapped the table nervously and expectantly.
Since the Earl did not speak, the other nobles did not dare to ask.
At this moment, footsteps sounded.
Everyone looked over at the same time, wondering what kind of identity this distinguished guest who was specially waited for by the Earl was.
Could it be some noble from the Imperial Capital?
