If something unexpected happened in the Lion Kingdom, with Leo's current status, it would definitely alarm countless official agencies of the kingdom.

Even with the background of the Snake Worship Cult, he did not dare to be overly arrogant. This was a balance between the two. Murdering the Marquis of the Kingdom in this way shocked too many people.

But if it was a secret assassination, Leo would be guarding him with astonishing strength even if he was traveling on a daily basis.

Under such circumstances, no matter how hard the Snake Worshipers try, it is absolutely impossible to carry out a secret assassination, and if there are only one person, it will be even more troublesome.

Therefore, it can be said that Leo's trip to the Principality of Brown as an envoy is one of the few opportunities.

…

"This small town of Bro looks quite prosperous." Leo looked at the scenery around him and nodded secretly. He did not expect that this small town near the border of the kingdom was a far more ordinary inland town.

bustling.

Looking at the bustling caravan, Leo frowned slightly.

"Are these caravans from the Brown Principality very common in your town?" Leo asked the mayor on the side.

"Dear Sir, because we are very close to the Principality of Brown, and the kingdoms are happy to see each other's trade, there is never a shortage of merchants from the Principality of Brown in the town.

Most of them will use our town of Brown as a starting point and go to various areas within the kingdom." The old-looking mayor said respectfully.

"Except for these businessmen, have you seen anyone else, people who shouldn't be here?" Leo frowned. The small town of Bro was very popular and extremely prosperous, which caused the entire town to suffer.

The town was so crowded that it was difficult to distinguish the enemy.

He originally thought that if there were really enemies in this town, they would be extremely easy to expose.

But seeing the current situation, even if a snake worshiping cult really sneaks in, it would be extremely difficult to detect. This is really not a happy thing.

"Dear Sir," the mayor frowned slightly, and the middle-aged man on the side stepped forward and muttered a few words. Then the mayor's expression also changed, and he hurriedly said to Leo, "Your Majesty, Marquis, some days ago.

People from outside the town are gradually pouring into the town, but they are wearing the clothes of the Eighteen Principalities in the North, but most of them are refugees who are fleeing, and they don’t look like guys with any background.”

Eighteen principalities in the north?

Leo frowned slightly, why are the Eighteen Northern Principalities involved? No, the Northern Eighteen Principalities are forces near the Crow Realm Kingdom and are weak.

For example, the previous Ice and Snow Principality was a force that had almost destroyed the country. The two princesses had even been captured by a slave trade group.

The eighteen principalities were all weak in strength. In order to deal with the dangers of the mainland, they formed an alliance and were collectively called the Eighteen Principalities of the Northern Territory.

It's just that these small principalities lack strength and are located in remote areas, so they rarely have a presence on the entire continent, and their citizens rarely appear in the Lion Realm Kingdom.

"Hasn't this happened before?" Leo asked with a frown. This situation was quite strange.

"It's very rare. There are only a few people in the Eighteen Principalities in the Northern Territory. I guess something happened." The mayor said respectfully.

misfortune……

Leo nodded, and it was understandable. After all, the Eighteen Principalities in the Northern Territory were too weak, and a slight disturbance would be enough to cause huge changes.

If something happened to such a small principality that resulted in a large number of refugees, it would not be difficult to understand.

only……

"Besides these people, are there anyone else strange?" Leo frowned, this was not what he wanted to know.

"Dear Sir, what do you mean?" The mayor also felt helpless.

"Lord Marquis, I seem to remember something." The middle-aged man glanced at the mayor hesitantly, and then spoke.

Um?

When Leo heard this, he looked around and saw a particularly strong man with a shrewd look in his eyes, as if he was hesitating.

"Say," Leo looked at the man in front of him playfully. The man seemed to think that the mayor would not agree to what he said, or it might be for other reasons. In short, when he spoke, his eyes were not less towards the mayor.

Aim there.

"Sir, I am a hunter in the small town of Bullo," the man said. "When I was hunting yesterday, I discovered what seemed to be a large group of people gathering in the Los Forest.

After I returned to the town yesterday, I informed the mayor of the news, and the mayor also sent a large number of people to investigate, but in the end no clues were found."

"Huh?" Leo couldn't help but frown slightly and looked at the mayor.

"Dear Sir," the mayor was also startled, his whole expression changed, and he looked at Leo in front of him in horror, "I really didn't find any clues from there.

At that time, Eliot also followed me, so I didn't think about it for a while."

He naturally knew Leo's identity and knew that he was a big shot that he could never afford to offend. Although he was the mayor and had great authority in Bro Town, and Marquis Leo was not his direct lord.

but……

This is the Marquis, my own Baron. I'm afraid that in front of this lord, he will behave no differently than he does.

It is only natural for him to behave like this!

Eliot, the middle-aged man, said, "But sir, I really noticed the movements of a large number of people at that time."

"Los Forest is the forest in the east, right?" Leo smiled softly and looked at Eliot in front of him, "What's the terrain like there?"

"It's very rugged, and there are countless ancient trees and miscellaneous trees in the middle, so the view is quite bad." Eliot looked directly at Leo and said.

"Forget it, you can be a tour guide for me, and you can get a hundred dinars as a reward." Leo said to Eliot.

One hundred dinars!

Many people looked at Eliot with envy. For the Orions, this was undoubtedly a huge sum of money. Even if they worked hard for several years, they might not be able to save such a huge sum of money.

"It is my greatest honor to be able to serve you," Eliot said excitedly, his eyes staring un scrupulously at the few dinars that Leo gently tossed up and then fell back into his hand.

…

"Sir, do you think what that boy said is true? Is there really an enemy ambush in Los Forest?" At this time, Captain Cary was still curious. He had not witnessed the content of the letter.

But he just asked someone to inquire privately. Yesterday, the mayor indeed sent a large number of troops to Los Forest, and he also found several people who went with him. They all said that there was no trace at all in Los Forest.

Therefore, Captain Cary was somewhat dubious about what Eliot said.

"Just wait and see the good show," Leo said with a smile, "I'm a little curious, what on earth do they think?"

them?

Captain Cary looked at Leo's smile blankly. It was difficult for him to understand. Who were they that Leo was referring to?

Are there other people here?

…

"Your Majesty the Marquis, the Los Forest is ahead," said Eliot, dressed in a hunter's attire, looking much more powerful than yesterday.

Leo followed the direction that Eliot pointed, and for some reason, the endless forest and dense old trees in the distance made him feel a little more weird.

This is an indescribable feeling that makes people fear from the bottom of their hearts. However, after Leo frowned and asked Captain Cary next to him, he realized that the other party did not feel this way at all.

Be careful!

Leo secretly reminded himself that something was abnormal. With his intuition at this level, there should be some rumored whims, and various perceptions could subconsciously remind him of his level through clues.

The most likely feeling is that there is really great danger waiting for you ahead.

But...three days of effort?

Leo frowned a little. After all, he had sent his men before, and he was convinced that the mayor had indeed sent a lot of people, and the townspeople had indeed circled around Los Forest, looking back and forth.

After passing it, I found nothing unusual.

Of course, this is also the responsibility of the townspeople. The tax revenue of border towns is far lower than that of the mainland, and trade exchanges are particularly prosperous. Naturally, they are very wealthy, but obligations are also relative.

When there is an enemy situation, even if there is the slightest clue, we must go all out. After the news reported by Eliot appears, everyone cannot slack off. Of course, this is also for their own safety.

But since they didn't notice anything in such a short period of time, what arrangements could the enemies make here in such a short period of time?

This kind of arrangement even made him feel a little afraid in his heart?

For a time, Leo's heart became more solemn.

"It's indeed a bit weird." At this time, a man in a green gown appeared next to Leo, and it turned out to be Uncle Went, whom he had not seen for a long time.

The reason why Leo stayed in the small town of Bro before was naturally to wait for Uncle Winter who arrived. This was something they had already agreed on.

He went to the Royal Capital first. Uncle Wente set off directly from the Marquis Territory and met him in the small town of Bro. After all, the Royal Capital was hiding dragons and crouching tigers. Uncle Wente had not recovered yet, so it was better to stay out of the way when facing the Royal Capital.

This time, the Brown Principality is very likely to encounter a crisis, but after all, it is a principality, living in the gap between the two kingdoms, and it should not be a big threat to a strong man like Uncle Winter.

"Everyone, please pay attention," Leo said in a deep voice, looking at Eliot on the side, "If we go to the Brown Principality, is there any other way besides passing through the Los Forest?"

"Lord Marquis, this is the most direct road we know. Follow the forest roads that have been opened in Los Forest, and then there are some more remote paths. Those paths are very narrow, and only forest seekers can use them.

time travel.

It would be difficult for a large group of people to pass by, and it would take a lot of time." Eliot said respectfully.

Sure enough... that is to say, I only have the road through Los Forest, and the Snake Cult will block it here, so there will be no accidents.

"What is that?" At this time, Freya exclaimed.

"The Snake Cult warriors are far away from us," Uncle Winter said in a deep voice, "but the number of them seems to be ridiculously large."

The number of people is ridiculous!

Leo's heart suddenly tightened. Uncle Wente had said this. One can imagine the number of these Snake Cult warriors.
