Chapter 231: Is Zwan back? There's a surprise inside! Click here to unlock now.
In fact, Zwan had already traveled south from Valos Estate and entered Baron Talis's territory that afternoon.
He was discovered as soon as he arrived at the next manor.
After all, every family is fattening their pigs in the woods during this season, so it would be impossible for him to go back without being discovered.
"Who are you?!"
A patrolling soldier immediately came over.
He had two companions behind him.
"Damn it, he's carrying Lord Talis's armor!"
The two soldiers in front immediately became excited.
Ziwan leaned against the tree next to him, staring blankly at them, his eyes suddenly turning red.
"Ziwang?"
The last soldier stared wide-eyed.
"Stop shouting! It's Zwan! It's Zwan!"
"What do you mean?"
The two soldiers in front immediately turned around.
What does it mean that he is Zwan?
The two soldiers watched as the last soldier overtook them and ran up to Zwan.
Their eyes sized up Zwan.
The person in front of me was wearing a decent leather jacket and pants, but they were covered in mud and dust and were filthy beyond recognition.
The corners were also tattered and broken.
His rather long hair was messily sticking out, covered in dust and bits of leaves, grass, and dirt.
His beard had also grown out of shape and was not clean.
It looked incredibly slovenly.
Her nails were also long and black.
The leather boots on her feet were indeed the kind of boots only soldiers could afford, but now they were wrinkled and crumpled for some reason, and blackened wool socks were showing through the cracks at the edges of the soles.
He had many makeshift bandages made of soft leather strips, which were already soaked in blood and dried up. He looked very disheveled, yet he was still gripping something tightly with both hands.
The two soldiers could only tell that the person in front of them was a young man.
They couldn't tell it was Ziwang at all!
The soldier who recognized Zwan frowned as soon as he ran over.
He smelled a strong odor, a mixture of campfire smoke, pungent sweat, and wild animal excrement!
The smell stung his eyes!
"Cough cough cough."
The soldier turned his head away and took a step back.
"Zwan, what happened to you? Why are you still holding Lord Talis's armor? And what's in that bag you're carrying?"
The image of Zwan he had seen last time involuntarily popped into his mind.
At that time, this guy was dressed very neatly and did not look sloppy at all.
They were far more arrogant than the ordinary soldiers in the manor!
But how come they've become worse than slaves?
Snapped.
"How is the Baron?!"
Zwan loosened the leather bag containing the troll's head and grabbed the arm of the soldier beside him with his free hand.
"Cough! Don't..."
The soldier instinctively tried to shake off his hand, but failed.
"The Baron is doing well; he returned a few days ago. He even ordered us to prepare to go with him to collect the spoils of war!"
So what if Baron Talis is that powerful?
It's like something terrible is about to happen to the Baron!
"Spoils of war?"
Zivan paused for a moment, and the soldier took the opportunity to pull his arm back.
"It's good that we won, it's good that we won."
The soldier examined the bandages on his body.
"What's wrong with you? Should I find you a donkey? The Baron will be very happy to know you're back."
"Okay, thank you. My leg was stabbed by a goblin, so walking is really difficult."
Ziwang nodded.
The three soldiers examined his injuries again.
They quickly brought over a donkey, which carried Zwan and what he was carrying, and they set off.
"Remember to return the donkey!"
"Definitely! I'll treat you to drinks once the Baron bestows his favor!"
"good!"
Watching Ziwannan's departing figure, the three soldiers exchanged glances.
"What are you standing there for? Get back to work."
"Why is he carrying the Baron's armor?"
"What does this have to do with me...?"
As the voices of the three soldiers faded into the distance, Zwan smiled.
Very good, this should be able to fool the Baron.
Along the way, whenever Zivan passed a manor, some people would come up to him and ask questions.
Sometimes you'll encounter civilians, and sometimes you'll only encounter soldiers.
Whether or not these people recognized him from his current appearance, the Baron Talis armor he carried with him served as proof.
As the sun began to set, he reached the outskirts of Talis Town.
"Oh--"
Looking at the walls of Talis town, Zwan immediately smiled.
"Who are you!?"
The soldiers on the watchtower saw Zwan riding a donkey and immediately became alert.
Ziwan shouted.
"I am Zwan! I'm back!"
"Zwan?!"
Snapped.
Ziwan lightly patted the donkey's rump with his iron sword, and the donkey quickened its pace.
He quickly arrived at the foot of the watchtower.
"Bogey, it's me."
Boki, who was on guard duty in the watchtower, spotted him immediately.
"Is it really you?! Ziwang, what are you doing...?"
"Ziwang?"
The northeast gate of Talis Town opened, and several soldiers walked out.
"It really is Ziwang!"
Zivan found it a bit strange, but he didn't have time to catch up with them.
"I need to see the Baron first."
"Okay, okay."
"Go ahead."
"If you have any difficulties, you can ask the new pastor; he is a very kind person."
The soldiers made way for him, and Zivan drove straight into the town.
As they watched his retreating figure disappear into the distance, the soldiers exchanged glances.
"I never expected Zwan to come back."
"But what about his family?"
"We can't control it. Let him calm down on his own."
Zwan arrived confidently at the gates of Baron Talis's main mansion, where everyone in town stared at this strange fellow.
Only the soldiers guarding the gate for Baron Talis recognized him.
"Zwan! What's wrong with you...?"
"I'm back."
Zwan dismounted and carefully picked up the armor and the troll's head.
"I have retrieved the armor for the Baron. I wish to return it to him."
The soldier stared blankly at the armor in his hand and nodded.
"Okay, okay. I'll go report right away."
……
The study on the second floor of Talis's main house.
Baron Taliss was sitting behind his desk, nodding to a robust young man dressed as a soldier.
"My Gaimour, I acknowledge your abilities. Now prepare yourself; you can become a sheriff. Kora looks forward to starting a new family with you."
Snapped.
Gaimour knelt down.
"Thank you for your recognition, Baron! I will remain loyal to you and ensure Miss Kora's happiness!"
His goal has finally been achieved!
Baron Talis agreed to his marriage to the third daughter of the Talis family!
The Baron nodded slightly.
Suddenly, he heard voices outside.
"What did you say? Zwan is back?"
"Yes, he wants to see the Baron."
Ziwang?
Hearing the voices outside, Baron Talis shouted.
"Let him up here!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Hearing the response from outside the door, Gaimour stood frozen in place.
ga-
Not long after, the door was opened.
The pungent smell went straight into his nose.
Baron Talis couldn't help but frown.
"My lord!"
Ziwan knelt down at the door, raising his armor high with both hands.
"Ziwang? Why have you become like this?"
Ziwang?
Zivan is back!
Gaimour tightened his lips.
Thankfully, everything has been settled.
