The two men exchanged some words, and Kurd looked around and asked as if nothing had happened, "There were no checkpoints here when I came back to Pompeii before. Why are there checkpoints this time?"

The guard shook his head and said, "It's that thief Kurd who committed a serious crime in the city. The lord is afraid that Kurd will flee to Pompeii, so he asked us to set up a checkpoint here. Not only that, the free people and serfs in Pompeii have formed their own teams to patrol day and night."

At this point, the guard smiled and comforted Kurd, saying, "But there is no need to worry too much. There are a total of four knights, including the Lord, in Pompey. And the thief Kurd is said to be injured. The guards are so strict. If he doesn't come, it's fine. If he comes, he will definitely be captured alive by the Lord."

Kurd smiled and nodded, but he naturally disagreed in his heart.

I am a serious Pompeii man. As long as I don't show my true colors, even though Pompeii has four knights, they can't do anything to me.

What’s the point of being on high alert?

However, Kurd was quite surprised, because the previous information was that Pompeii had a total of three knights, but now there was one more knight.

Kurd knew Pompey very well, and couldn't help asking, "Is it the next generation of the Iron Horse family who became a knight?"

"Yes, it's Lord Xiuxiua." The guard nodded.

"The little brats are starting to show their talents. This is what nobility is all about. If nothing unexpected happens, the Pompeii family will continue."

Kurd felt a little envious.

However, when Kurd grabbed his package and felt the "Book of Sages" inside the package, he was no longer envious.

With this treasure, the power of the Pompeii family is nothing.

After speaking to the guard, Kurd said goodbye and went into Pompeii Territory. Kurd's home was in Pompeii Village No. 8.

After entering Pompeii, Kurd was also a little surprised because the situation was slightly different from what he had imagined. The road became smooth and clean.

The feces that were everywhere before can no longer be seen.

"Damn it! I haven't been back for a few years, but how come the countryside is cleaner than the city?" Kurd thought to himself.

Kurd felt that the current Pompeii Territory was different, very different. It was definitely not just a change in the number of knights.

Soon, Kurd returned to Pompeii Village No. 8, outside his brother's house.

Like most of the freemen in Pompeii, this was a two-story wooden house, and except for some special paint on the roof, the exterior of the house remained the same wood color.

There was a wooden fence outside the house, and inside the fence were chickens, ducks, dogs and other livestock. As Kurd arrived, a black hound rushed out frantically, barking.

The sound of dogs barking was as rapid as a thunderstorm.

"Hey, Ryan, you don't recognize me after just a few years of not seeing me?" Kurd stretched out his right hand like lightning, grabbed the hound by the neck and lifted it up.

"Woo woo." The hound was suddenly frightened and made a whimpering sound.

"Who is it?"

The noise outside attracted the attention of the owner of the house, and a middle-aged woman came out. The woman looked at Kurd and was startled at first, then asked uncertainly: "Is it Arnold?"

"Hi, Johnny." Kurd put down the frightened hound and greeted him warmly.

"It's really Arnold, you're back?" The middle-aged woman's face showed joy and she greeted Kurd very warmly.

………….Ten days later, in Pompeii Castle, in Old Sol’s study.

The Patton family crest is printed below.

This is an official document.

"Dad, what's on the document?" Luther asked curiously, standing in front of old Saul.

"The Baron has issued a reward. For anyone who provides information about Kurd, one thousand gold coins will be given. For capturing him alive, ten thousand will be given. For killing five thousand, that is," said Old Thor.

"Capturing ten thousand alive? That's more than the tax revenue Pompeii collected in ten years." Luther exclaimed.

In this world, gold coins are the hard currency of the people. In the Kingdom of Prussia, they are called Prussian Gold Shields. For a small country place like Pompeii's home, it is already a blessing to have a tax revenue of one thousand gold coins a year.

After being shocked, Luther touched his chin again and said curiously: "But because of this, I am very curious about what kind of treasure Kurd stole from the Baron's mansion."

"Why hasn't this great thief Kurd come yet? The baron was furious and issued a high reward. Kurd's treasure must be amazing. Is it some kind of precious potion? Or a wizard's treasure? A sharp weapon?"

Luther couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

To this great thief, I wish I could say, "Come, come, come to Pompeii."

This is simply a newbie gift pack for me.

Old Saul now understood his son better. As soon as he saw Luther's expression, he knew what Luther was up to.

He couldn't help but frowned and scolded, "Don't have any tricks. Once you find Kurd, kill him immediately and return the treasure to the Baron. If you can't kill him, report it to the Baron."

"I don't have any evil ideas." Luther denied it of course. But he didn't care about what Old Saul said. A lord who doesn't want to become a noble is definitely not a good lord.

However, the Pompeii family has always been a lord and noble family that served the Patton family. Although old Sol was called the Golden Lion Sol, they had a natural inferiority mentality towards the Patton family.

Transformation takes time.

And this treasure might be another opportunity. How could Luther give it up?

But Luther quickly laughed at himself. Forget it. What's the point of thinking about these things now? The great thief Kurd, the man who caused a stir in Patton's territory.

But now it seems like a stone falling into the sea, disappearing without a trace.

Even if the Kurds flee to remote areas in the countryside, they have multiple targets, not just Pompey, and even if they come, they may not be able to stay.

I'm thinking too much about treasures now.

It won’t be too late to think about the treasure after we actually discover Kurdish.

There is a saying that goes, "the darkest part is under the lamp." The origin of the Kurds is very mysterious, and no one knows where the Kurds are.

No one in Pompeii would have guessed that the Kurds were actually real Pompeians.

Currently, the Kurds are living openly in the territory of Pompeii.

It would be strange if you could find it.
