The Witcher: Darkness Falls

The facts show that Galio knows their Baron very well.

When Leon and Galio brought the goblin's corpse to meet Baron Crean, the other party immediately sent someone to capture a dwarf from the prison.

He stripped off the other person's clothes in public and then compared them carefully.

"It's indeed different. Send someone to release all the dwarfs in the prison!" Baron Crean shouted, waving his fat hands.

He was a fat man, very fat, and when he sat on the chair he looked like a mountain of flesh.

Lyon had never seen such an obese noble. Generally, nobles, both men and women, paid great attention to their figure.

Moreover, male nobles would also develop skills such as riding and archery, which meant that they would not grow so fat.

Combining the equipment of the Tegamo soldiers with the appearance of the baron, Leon could imagine that they certainly had no fighting ability.

The dwarf was so angry that he was shaking all over. He put on his clothes while shouting: "I will go to Salm to sue you! I will ask the Duke to strip you of your title!"

Baron Klein waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Go! Special care during special times. Who knew there would be monsters like you? Blame your mother for making you like this!"

"You idiot! I will go to Salm and sue you! I swear!" The dwarf was so angry that he trembled all over.

Lyon stood aside and saw a fierce look in Baron Crean's eyes, which aroused his vigilance.

The dwarf was driven out angrily, and the curses gradually died down.

Baron Klein turned his gaze to Leon and said, "Demon Hunter, you came at the right time. Since you have experience in dealing with these monsters, I will leave these monsters in Tegamo to you.

How about I give you three hundred florins? That's a lot of money!"

Leon shook his head and said, “The goblins are very smart, I don’t know where they are hiding.

What's more, you didn't plan to send me any help, and there are so many of them and they are very dangerous.

This is not enough money, and I might have to waste a lot of time. I won’t accept it unless it costs at least 2,000 florins.”

"What?! Two thousand florins!" Baron Crean stood up from his chair, his mountain of fat trembling on his body.

He pointed at Leon and said angrily: "You bastard, why don't you go and rob? Do you know what two thousand florins means?

You're not worth two thousand florins even if you were sold! You... you... you liar!

Galio, I command you now, kill him! Kill him now! "

Leon frowned. Why was this person so hostile to him?

But before he could figure it out, Galio took action immediately.

But Leon was faster than him and grabbed his hands and twisted them behind his back.

"Ah!!! It's going to break! It's going to break!" Galio screamed in pain.

The soldiers of Tegamo are not as strong as those of Nilfgaard, which is probably related to the Baron Crean in front of them.

Baron Crean himself looks like a rich young man, not at all aristocratic. How can you expect him to train troops?

A fool's dream.

"You! What are you going to do? Are you going to rebel? Someone come! Someone come quickly! The witcher is trying to assassinate us, someone come quickly!" Baron Clien was frightened by Leon and yelled.

A group of servants armed with weapons rushed in from outside the door, staring at Leon ferociously.

When Baron Klein saw that he had more people on his side, he immediately straightened his back.

He pointed at Leon triumphantly and said, "Kill him for me. His crime is that a demon hunter dared to attack a noble. This is unforgivable and he must be executed on the spot!"

The servants rushed forward with weapons in hand.

Leon glanced at him coldly and pushed Galio out.

"It's me! It's me!" Galio shouted anxiously and bumped into a servant who rushed over.

Leon ignored him and dodged a sword-wielding servant by moving sideways. He reached out and grabbed his arm. With a little force, the other party screamed and the steel sword in his hand fell to the ground and was caught by him.

Leon threw the servant out and onto another servant, then raised his steel sword to block the attack from behind, and then kicked the one in front of him out, and then kicked the one behind him out with another dragon's tail.

Leon was extremely fast and had quick reactions, which was far beyond the ability of these miscellaneous soldiers to deal with. Soon, many people were lying in the hall groaning.

Lyon held his sword and looked coldly at Baron Crean who was lying on the ground in fear.

Baron Crean shrank back in fear, stammering, "You...what do you want to do? Killing nobles is against the law! I warn you, demon hunter, Duke Misuen is my uncle. If you dare to touch me, you're done for!"

Leon stepped forward and grabbed Baron Crean.

He didn't know any Duke Mithun, so he thought that the other party must be a high-ranking noble in Nilfgaard.

However, these great nobles have many relatives like Baron Klein.

uncle?

It is still unclear whether there is a blood relationship. Even if there is, it is probably only from the father's or even grandfather's generation. As for Baron Klein, it is not certain whether the other party recognizes him.

In a remote place like Tegamo, Klein would definitely not be valued by his family, and his descendants would probably not be able to inherit his title.

There are two types of nobility in Nilfgaard, hereditary and lifelong.

The hereditary system means that the title itself can be inherited by the eldest son. At the same time, if the title is accompanied by territory, the eldest son can also inherit it. The second son is not eligible.

But a year before Emperor Emhyr's death, the laws of succession to the throne of the Nilfgaardian Empire were changed and slightly adjusted.

The eldest son's inheritance of the title remains unchanged, but the second son also has the right to inherit the title, but at a lower level.

That is to say, if the father is a duke, the eldest son will inherit the title of duke after his death, and the second son can claim the title of marquis.

At the same time, if there is a territory, it also needs to be divided among the second sons.

Some people opposed Enhyr's changes to the law, but some also supported it.

But in the end, there were more people in favor, so the decree was enforced.

The lifelong system is for the nobility themselves. Nobles own titles and territories while they are alive, but their sons cannot inherit after their death.

Leon glanced at Baron Klein. The other party's family was most likely the first type of hereditary system. He didn't even know whether it was a side branch or a side branch of a side branch.

He was thrown here by the family and became like this. If he had been noticed by the family, he would not have turned out like this.

Therefore, Baron Crean's threats to him were meaningless.

However, Leon did not intend to kill the other party. After all, he was a noble, and killing him would definitely be troublesome.

Leon stared at him coldly and said, “I have no intention of rebelling, but I ask you, Baron, to be careful with your words.

I am just speaking the truth. If the Baron thinks it is too expensive, then just ask someone else. It is not the style of a noble to arrest someone for no reason."

As he spoke, he loosened Baron Crean's collar and said, "I will stay in Tegamo for five days. If you change your mind, you can come to the Black Crow Inn to find me."

Leon said and left the Baron's mansion.

Baron Crean stared at Lyon's disappearing back with hatred. His body trembled with fear and he collapsed to the ground.

Leon is too strong, his soldiers are no match for him!

Even if he wanted to do something, it was impossible!

"Get out of here, you bunch of rubbish! Rubbish!" Baron Klein cursed angrily at his men who were groaning on the ground, "Get out of here! Don't let me see you!"

The servant on the ground quickly got up and crawled out of the mansion.

About three minutes after Leon left, a burly man dressed as a hunter and carrying a bow and arrow walked in.

He looked at Baron Crean, whose expression was extremely grim, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what happened to you? Was this place robbed?"

Seeing the man dressed as a hunter in front of him, Baron Klein excitedly grabbed his hand and said, "Fort! Didn't you say before that you wanted to buy a piece of land here?

I agree, but you have to do me a favor!"

Forte leaned forward.

Baron Crean gnashed his teeth in his ear and said, "Go and kill a demon hunter and a few dwarves for me!

Do it quietly, don't let anyone catch you!"
