Passing on the torch!

Luther looked at Xuxua coming down the stairs, then glanced at Old Thor, Magellan and the old butler beside Old Thor.

This is the inheritance of the Pompeii family.

The leader of the House of Pompey, the Knight of Pompey.

The leader of the Iron Horse family, Pompey's retainer, and the Iron Horse Knight.

The butler of the Pompeii family, the Ferron family.

The Pompeii family has been passed down from generation to generation in this way, and with Xuxua's promotion, it means that although the old generation is in their prime, the new generation has risen.

Their era has gradually arrived.

And in my hands, Pompeii will go further and far beyond its ancestors.

"Sir Knight!" Xuxua, like his father Magellan, is a man of few words. Normally, he has no expression on his face, but at this moment, there is a smile and excitement on his face.

No matter who you are, you will be excited and happy to be promoted to a knight.

After Xiu Xiuya stepped into the hall, he immediately knelt on one knee in front of old Thor and met the head of the Pompeii family as the next generation head of the Iron Horse family and a knight.

"Hahaha, good. Under the current circumstances, it's great that you can be promoted to a knight, Xuxuya." Old Thor laughed, sincerely happy, and bent down to help Xuxuya up.

Magellan, the old butler Ferran also showed a smile on his face.

Luther heard something strange. He looked at his father and asked, "What's the current situation? Dad, has anything happened recently?"

Luther was sure that the territory was absolutely peaceful and tranquil at the moment.

In such a small territory, if there is any disturbance, it will definitely not be hidden from his ears. In other words, if something happens, it must have happened in the city.

Pompeii is quite far from the city, and only Old Sol can get first-hand information.

Luther still remembered the incident with Lucy and Barton last time. He was naturally a little worried. Did Baron Barton have an accident? Was the Barton family in danger of splitting up? This conflicted with Luther's plan. After all, Luther planned to develop slowly first. As for the Barton family's mess, it would be decades later. It was estimated that by that time, Luther would have been a nobleman with a huge power.

The troubles of the Patton family cannot affect the Pompey family.

And if something unexpected happened to Baron Patton at this time, and the Patton family's troubles broke out immediately, then the Pompey family would inevitably be caught in a political storm.

It is the exact opposite of Luther’s wretched development plan.

Old Sol nodded and said, "I was planning to announce it, but Xiu Xiuya's promotion got ahead of me." After a pause, Old Sol said solemnly, "The Barton family was robbed. It seems that the thief Kurd did it. The Baron is currently looking for Kurd throughout the territory. This thief Kurd should have the strength of a mid-level knight. If he sneaks into our Pompeii Territory, it will be a difficult matter for us. Of course, it would be good to have an extra fighting force at this time."

The great thief Kurd? Luther raised his eyebrows. The most popular supernatural powers in the world are of course knights and wizards. There is no such thing as a thief who can sneak.

Of course it is impossible for a wizard to become a thief.

Therefore, most roaming thieves are people with the strength of a knight.

According to the information circulating outside, the great thief Kurd has the strength of a mid-level knight. Among the thieves wanted in the entire province, he is at a mid-level level.

And it is impossible for such a thief to sneak into the baron's house easily, because the contemporary Baron Barton has the strength of a high-level knight.

The Baron's house must be heavily guarded.

The thief Kurd sneaked into the baron's house and stole something. This was very difficult. Of course, what made Luther even more curious was what treasure was in the baron's house that attracted the thief Kurd to take such a big risk to steal.

"Do you have any other information? For example, did Kurd fight with the Baron's guards when he was discovered? Was he injured?"

Luther asked.

"I heard that there was a fierce battle and Kurd was injured to some extent, but the extent of the injury is unknown. The city is currently under martial law, and Kurd has not been caught yet. According to official judgment, Kurd should have left the city. It is very likely that he is hiding in the countryside, and our territory must be on guard."

Old Thor said seriously.

Because Pompeii Territory is very remote and surrounded by forests, a mid-level knight should be able to survive in the forest even if he is injured.

The vast forest is the best hiding place.

Moreover, the strength of the Pompeii family was not strong. Because before this, the Pompeii family only had three knights, Old Sol, Magellan, and Luther.

Maybe this great thief Kurd will take charge of a crime in Pompeii.

All in all, the probability of the Kurds fleeing to Pompeii is relatively high.

"Father, I will tell Lelouch immediately. Send people to each village to let the people be more vigilant and try not to go into the forest to hunt."

Luther made a prompt decision.

"Go ahead."

Old Thor nodded.

There is no time to lose.

Luther immediately rushed to the city hall and asked Lelouch to spread the news. Old Thor asked Magellan to summon the guards in the castle to strengthen the alert.

As the news spread, it seemed that the free people, under the organization of the village chief, formed teams of militia to conduct patrols during the day and night.

The entire Pompeii Territory was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

Pompeii Territory, in the forest near the road leading to the city of Pompeii Territory.

The road in the forest is of course not easy to walk on. It is spring now, when everything comes back to life. Various animals that have been hungry for the whole winter are coming out to move around.

In this vast forest, there are packs of wolves, as well as brown bears, tigers and other ferocious beasts.

But for a knight, these beasts are nothing, unless they encounter a demon beast.

At this moment, a man was resting on a stone in the forest. The stone was very smooth and close to a small stream.

The man was dressed very ordinary, like a commoner. He also looked very ordinary, the type that no one would even glance at if he was in a crowd of people.

There was a cut on the man's chest, and blood stained his clothes.

The man's face was a little pale, a knight's sword was stuck next to the big rock, and the man was holding a book in his hand.

It was none other than the great thief Kurd.

Kurd looked down at his wound, which had already stammered. But it still hurt. This wound came from a mid-level knight, and the fighting spirit was raging on the wound.

Although I used very good medicine for wounds, it was not easy to heal.

"Who the hell are you?" Kurd asked, raising the book in his hand after taking a look at the wound.

Will a book answer that?

Generally speaking, no answer will be given.

But this book provides the answer.

"This master is the book of sages."

Although it was not the first time that the book spoke, a hint of horror still flashed in Kurd's eyes.

What exactly did I steal from the Patton family this time? (End of this chapter)
