The next morning, Wheat Leaf Village.

A group of caravan stewards just walked out of the room, but they couldn't help but be shocked.

I saw that the square of Wheat Leaf Village was filled with guards.

In addition, there were more than twenty caravan members walking or sitting in front of them.

"Isn't that Doli? What's going on?"

"That Doli seems to be dead. Is there a bloody hole in his chest?"

"These people seem to be members of the Sir Walade caravan, why are there so many dead!"

All of a sudden, the faces of all the caravan stewards turned pale. They didn't know why there was such a big change when they woke up.

"Master Nalant, what happened?" Ute butler was also very surprised when he saw this scene, but he was not afraid and immediately stepped forward and asked Nalant in a low voice.

Nalant Hearing this, he immediately briefly told the housekeeper Ute what happened last night.

"Is there such a thing?" Ute's housekeeper was shocked. They lived in Wheat Leaf Village last night and had a quiet and peaceful night. They didn't expect such a fierce battle to happen a few miles away.

"Ute Butler, I want to know the identity of this Sir Walade, who actually helps these people hide their identity!"

"This Sir Walade used to be a noble with a fiefdom. However, he went bankrupt due to poor management a few years ago. He was unable to pay enough taxes to the Earl for three years. In the end, the Earl exchanged gold coins for his territory!"

"I heard that Sir Walade bought several shops in Tulip City and formed a caravan after receiving gold coin compensation!"

"This time he took the initiative to approach Lord Andrew and said that he would send a caravan here. Because they are all vassals of Lord Earl, Lord Andrew had no scruples and agreed on the spot. Unexpectedly..."

"Ute Butler, this Sir Walade and Berick Family have we had any conflicts or unpleasantness in the past?"

"No, Master Nalant, although our Berick Family is not rich, but because Master Andrew is brave in battle and is an upright and honest nobleman, we only have enmity with Viscount Aldin in Tulip City!" replied the Ute butler.

"Aldin!" Nalant nodded silently. Although there is no evidence, Nalant now guesses that there is a 60% probability that this arrangement is related to Aldin, and the other 40% is that Sir Walade was bribed by Quinte for money.

"Ute Butler, those caravan stewards don't know the situation at this time, please help me explain it to them!"

"Okay, Master!" Ute butler responded immediately, and then quickly walked towards the surprised caravan stewards.

After Ute explained it, all the caravan managers felt relieved, but then they were surprised that Storm Territory had such an experience.

In order to prove Sir Walade's crime, Nalant immediately waved his hand towards Quick.

Quick immediately pulled out the cloth strips from the mouths of several prisoners who were still alive.

These prisoners had already accepted the explanation and immediately began to reveal their names and origins.

"Everyone, everyone has heard what they just said! These people are all from Blackiron Earldom, and they are all subordinates of Baron Quinte next door to Storm Territory!"

"Baron Quinte and I have some disputes over some minor issues, such as salt!"

"However, this was originally a matter between me and Quinte, but now Sir Walade is helping outsiders plot against my Storm Territory!"

"So, I must report it to the Earl and let him make the decision for me!"

"And this time everyone happens to be at Wheat Leaf Village. In order to avoid causing other misunderstandings, I am informing everyone. I hope everyone can help me bear witness and publicize the truth about this matter!"

After all, Storm Territory has just started, so Nalant must be careful to avoid people who are interested in taking advantage of the problem.

For example, he killed caravans indiscriminately and robbed property.

Don't think this is unnecessary. In this world with limited information, if you don't take the lead in seizing the right to speak, it will be too late to remedy the situation.

"Sir Nalant, don't worry, we were in Wheat Leaf Village, Wheat Leaf Village last night and everything was as usual. These people secretly went out to cause destruction. They deserved it!"

"Yes, we can prove it for Sir Nalant!"

Several stewards responded immediately, and no one had any doubts.

There are more than twenty people here. If Nalant is really causing trouble, they can always hear the noise.

Since they heard no movement, it can only mean that these people left Wheat Leaf Village in the middle of the night.

Moreover, these people have described their detailed identities, and it is easy to verify them if they are willing. Therefore, if Nalant is really fake, there is no need to come out like this.

"Thank you all very much! You will be returning soon. I will host another banquet for you at noon!"

Nalant nodded with satisfaction.

Next, Mario made the final settlement with the caravans.

Because they all belong to the aristocratic caravan, the amount of goods purchased is not comparable to that of common people such as Laurie·Grocery Store.

The transaction volume of almost every caravan can reach seven or eight gold coins, and Nalant's father's caravan even purchased goods worth more than ten gold coins at one time.

After the settlement was completed, Nalant hosted a banquet for everyone. Before the caravan left, he gave several caravan stewards a few pieces of White Sugar white bread, and then sent away the first wave of noble caravans.

As for the matter of Sir Walade, Nalant has asked the housekeeper Ute to go back and tell his father that Andrew will seek justice from the earl.

It's night, and it's the night of the once-a-week meteor shower. Nalant hasn't gotten a new Sprite for several weeks, so he was waiting in the vestibule early after dinner today.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As the night sky turned completely dark, the meteor shower at the end of the sky arrived as expected.

"My little baby is finally here! I just don't know what color Sprite I can get today?"

"Now I already have green, blue and Purple Sprite. Among the four common Sprite, I still haven't got Yellow Sprite!"

"Brother Rongguang, if you really care about me, just do it and give me gold!"

Watching the meteors streaking overhead, Nalant couldn't help but get excited.

A few minutes passed, and tonight's meteor shower was finally coming to an end. Nalant couldn't wait to turn on the search function.

Soon, the coordinates of Sprite tonight were learned by Nalant, which was only more than a mile away from the castle.

Nalant ordered Vivian to take care of Catherine who was still in a coma, so tonight he went out of the castle alone to look for Sprite.

Riding a horse, Nalant soon arrived at his destination, which was in an open wasteland.

Arriving at the edge of the meteorite crater, Nalant dismounted and smashed the meteorite shell with his long sword.

"Eh!" The next moment, Nalant was stunned, "It turns out to be Tuhao Jin... this... this... Mr. Rongguang is so awesome!"

Nalant is smiling, no matter what kind of mine it is, I believe this is a sure profit.
