This lively and prosperous scene has lasted for two years and still has no intention of declining.

"Anna...are you okay? I'm here to save you..."

That beautiful face appears in my mind from time to time,

Raymond was in a good mood. Ever since he learned the news that Anna was still alive yesterday, he had always had a smile on his lips. This feeling of relief was like seeing the sun clearing the clouds, and the whole world became cheerful.

As long as we know that Anna is imprisoned in Tianlan Capital, there is a way to rescue her. Just because Jinya and the others didn't find her doesn't mean that they can't find her.

...

"Hey, Brother Nicholas!"

Raymond was staring at the seabirds in trance, and suddenly he heard someone calling him from behind.

Looking back, it was naturally the four Matthews from last night. Of course, there were more than a dozen mercenary guards behind them wearing chainmail.

Raymond recognized the mercenary emblems on their clothes.

"Wind Wolf Mercenary Group" is a large mercenary group with a good reputation in the Brown Bear Territory.

"Sorry, I got up a little late tonight, so I was delayed for a while." Matthew apologized.

This was the first time he was late for an appointment with someone. If Susanna hadn't been so busy last night and couldn't get up, he wouldn't have stayed so long and done such a rude thing.

"Let me introduce it to you."

Matthew formally introduced Raymond to the person behind him and said loudly: "This is Nicholas, a [polymath] who is proficient in antiquities research and ancient writing."

Raymond smiled noncommittally at everyone. The name "Polymath" also allowed him to instantly construct his new identity.

"Baron Nicholas Zhao Si of the 'Southern Territory of Nadia' says hello to everyone."

As soon as these words were said, Matthew and his sister Elijah looked indifferent, while the rest of the people had more or less contempt in their eyes.

The "Southern Territory of Nadia" is a small territory in a remote corner of Tianlan. It has been caught in the flames of war all year round, and the lords change frequently. The titles there are not valuable, and most of them are small nobles who are self-proclaimed by some local lords. People from these small places,

In the eyes of Wangdu people, he is synonymous with "country bumpkin".

An introduction,

Raymond also met Matthew's hot fiancée Susanna, and the arrogant young man Cook who seemed to be in love with Elijah.

At this moment,

Matthew looked a little confused when he saw Raymond alone.

He looked around and saw that no one was waiting, and then asked: "Brother Nicholas, are you the only one? Didn't you bring any retinue or retainers?"

Early this morning, he specifically asked the leader of the "Wind Wolf Mercenary Group" to verify the situation of the "Black Snake Mercenary Group" and received an astonishingly accurate news. Together with the leader of the Black Snake Group, the master of Sequence 7

Several key members of the group were murdered in a dark alley yesterday afternoon.

The marks on the corpses were easy to identify. All five members of the Black Snake were killed with one knife. Everyone speculated that the perpetrator was a swordsman and must be a high-level transcendent above Sequence 7.

Raymond only has sequence eight, so he is obviously excluded.

Matthew had previously guessed that a swordsman among Raymond's retainers had killed Black Snake's man, and he had some expectations. But now that he came alone, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. There is such a thing as adventure.

, generally nobles will bring powerful retinues to ensure safety. If they don't bring them... then they probably don't have them.

Maybe... I'm overthinking it.

How could a master who could kill a Sequence 7 elite mercenary appear in a small place like "Nadia's Southern Territory" with one sword?

Moreover, he looked at Raymond's slightly shabby dress, and naturally he did not look like a wealthy nobleman who could support high-level retinues.
