So Pompey and his son came, and Omima died.

There were many wounded soldiers in the Sabretooth Mercenary Corps this time, but fortunately there were no deaths, so after a period of treatment, most of the knights were already alive and well.

Then the Sabretooth Mercenaries cleaned up the battlefield as usual. They helped cut off the heads of the thieves with a bounty and preserved them using certain methods.

This thing can be taken to the Golden City and exchanged for a bounty from the Count of Libya, the Consul of Orange. Pompey and his son were lucky. The total bounty for the entire gang of thieves was 80,000, and no one escaped.

There was a bounty of 80,000 gold coins, plus the 10,000 gold coins waived by the Axe Knight. This time, Pompey and his son lost a total of 8,000 gold coins.

Of course, this is just the apparent account.

Because according to convention, the Sabretooth Tiger Mercenaries only took commissions, and the spoils belonged to Pompey and his son. So the knights of the mercenary group helped to take care of the battlefield and collected some weapons, and then they withdrew from the main castle.

Rest in the house outside the castle so that the injured knight can recover as soon as possible.

As for the things inside the main body of the castle, they belonged to Pompey and his son, and the mercenaries simply didn't even look at them.

Therefore, Luther happily went to plunder the thieves' property. Of course, there were gains, such as the eight clay golems in the main hall, as well as the weapons and armor left by the thieves.

However, Pompey and his son could not take these things away, so Luther asked the mercenaries to pass on the message and let Knight Stone lead a group of guards to help carry them back.

Luther was very interested in the clay golem, a puppet with immense power that required high-level knights to spend some time to dismantle, and was very useful for territory defense.

Even though this is a big magic toy and Luther doesn't understand it at all, it doesn't matter. Just leave it aside for now. Once little Maya and Lily are trained, they will be able to drive it.

It can be said that the strength of the territory has been greatly increased.

Of course, Luther was more interested in why the leader of the thieves' gang, Omima, did not retreat but fought hard when faced with a disadvantage.

Luther's intuition told him that there was a treasure.

So Luther took Old Thor and happily searched the main body of the castle, looking at every room and every corner.

But what they got was simply shabby.

There were several boxes of gold coins, some silver coins, copper coins, and warehouses full of food, as well as various bacon, sausages, and so on.

The thieves are indeed shabby.

A strong bandit group must gather strong enough knights as elite bandits, and most of these knights are civilian knights.

The common people did not have much source of income, so in order to make further progress on the path of knighthood, they either became adventurers, mercenaries, or thieves.

Although robbery can make money, buying potions is even more expensive, so thieves are all poor.

Of course, the personnel turnover in a gang of thieves will also be relatively frequent, because if a junior knight joins a gang of thieves and successfully obtains wealth through robbery and is promoted to an intermediate knight, the thief may change his name and go to make a living somewhere else.

In short, except for a few thieves' gangs, most thieves' gangs are poor, so there are usually no powerful forces that want to attack thieves' gangs.

It's really hard to chew, hard bones but no meat.

If Pompey and his son were not eager to enhance the prestige of the Pompey family, they would not have set their sights on the Qiufeng thieves gang.

After searching every room and every corner, Pompey and his son returned to the hall.

"As expected, thieves are all poor. Our gain this time is these eight clay golems. I don't know how much they are worth. Let's see if we can sell them to make some money back."

Old Thor sighed.

Although on paper they only lost 8,000 gold coins, Old Thor still felt distressed. That was 8,000 gold coins. According to the previous income level of the territory, it would take eight years to make a profit.

Luther shook his head and asked, "Dad, have you discovered Mr. Wizard's laboratory and collection of books?"

"No." Old Thor shook his head, his eyes lighting up.

It is impossible for a wizard to not have a laboratory or a collection of books. This means that this castle also has a secret room.

So Luther looked at old Thor, meaning, Dad, you go in first, there might be danger in the tunnel.

Old Thor grinned, and felt that his son was a bit of a jerk. But as a senior knight, he was really suitable to explore the way ahead.

So old Thor first got a torch in the castle, then jumped into the tunnel, and Luther followed closely behind him, and the father and son began to explore the tunnel.

The process was very uneventful, without any disturbances.

The father and son successfully arrived at the laboratory of the thief wizard and saw a large collection of books and scattered wizard supplies.

Of course Luther paid attention to the "Great Knight Potion" placed in the center of the magic circle.

At this moment, there was nothing unusual about the potion container, it lay quietly on the floor, and the magic circle around it did not emit any light.

The Great Knight Potion has been refined.

It was obvious at first glance that this thing was precious. Old Thor wanted to touch it with his hand, but was stopped by Luther.

"Dad, you don't understand. Don't be so clumsy." Luther said.

"You are becoming less and less respectful to your father," said Old Saul in dissatisfaction, but he still withdrew his hand. Luther looked around first, and then found a book.

A book on a lab bench.

Luther took a look at it. It was a book about making potions. Luther had read some of the contents in it before, because he had obtained a lot of books from the evil wizard.

But there are some I haven’t seen.

For example, "Grand Knight Potion."

Everyone knows.

The path of a knight is much smoother than that of a wizard. There is a huge threshold to become a wizard. From an apprentice wizard to a formal wizard, most of the apprentice wizards will be eliminated.

After becoming an official wizard, one still needs countless knowledge and wealth as nutrients for advancement.

Therefore, wizards are desperately trying to acquire knowledge, brew potions, and conduct various experiments to make money.

As for knights, most ordinary people can become a knight. As long as they have the correct knight training method, fighting skills, and a certain amount of wealth to ensure the best food and drink, they can become a knight.

Therefore, knights became the main fighting force of mankind. For example, the battle this time was mainly fought by knights.

But there is also a threshold for knights, and that threshold is becoming a great knight.

If a high-level knight wants to become a great knight, in addition to the accumulated physical strength and fighting spirit, there is another important factor.

This factor is a further understanding of one's own fighting spirit. This understanding is very profound and can only be understood but not expressed in words.

After a high-level knight reaches the top, very few can successfully cross over and become a great knight.

This is also the reason why once you become a great knight, you will be sought after by all forces.

No matter what you did before, a thief, a bandit, or a gangster, as long as you become a great knight, you can go to the capital to join the king, change your appearance to become a court noble, and start a family.

The "Great Knight Potion" is a potion that can increase the chances of a high-level knight breaking through to become a great knight.

"Dad, we're rich. You might become a great knight." Luther was shaking with excitement.

Great knight.

With the Great Knight, our Pompeii family has truly embarked on the highway of development.
