Medieval Gacha Lord

Chapter 57: Eliminating Bandits

Castellan Leonard, terrified, clung to this lifeline and quickly asked, "Milord, what should I do?"

Lothar questioned him in detail: "First, tell me, how exactly did these desert bandits target you? Whom did you encounter on the way to Montreal? And who all knew you were carrying a large sum of Solidi?"

Leonard stammered, "It was like this... yes, ah, when I set out, only the five soldiers I took with me knew about it. They have been stationed at Jorgklusburg for a very long time and are absolutely loyal and reliable. Because when I used to deliver taxes, I was never robbed..."

"That village where half the inhabitants are infidels is called Antoga. It’s the closest to Montreal, so we passed through there and requested water."

"I don’t know if anyone among them discovered I was carrying many Solidi, because I kept the money on my person at all times. But the crisp jingling sound from the coin pouch was something I couldn’t hide."

Leonard’s panic gradually subsided, and he began to carefully recall everything he had experienced, down to the smallest detail, even mentioning how many times he had urinated along the way.

"Alright, then I have one last question for you. While you were traveling, was there an eagle constantly circling above your heads?"

Leonard was aghast. "Milord, how did you know? I thought it was the Heavenly Father’s will, causing your emblem to manifest as a black eagle watching over us!"

Lothar waved his hand. "Alright, I understand. Next, you are to go and spread a piece of news far and wide: Baron Lothar of Jorgklusburg intends to carry a lavish gift to Kerak Castle to visit the esteemed Countess Stephanie."
