Chapter 266: Lord Sheriff

The Lord Sheriff is almost fifty years old. He has no wife or even a mistress. It is said that he has a son out of town and a daughter married to Tallinn, thus becoming courteous with the nobles.
Don't think that the sheriff was only promoted by selling his daughter.
In fact, he has been a frontier prevention and security officer for many years. At that time, his daughter may not have been born. For decades, he was a staid and harsh person.
His hurried return did not make the soldiers suspicious, they lowered the soldiers' heads to pay tribute to the loyal guard of the kingdom.
Su Mo passed by without squinting his eyes, his steps were heavy and somewhat unnatural.
He had observed Lord Thorin's legs and feet, and seemed to be injured. Before the transformation technique reached a certain level, he could only observe with his own eyes, and then imitate the opponent's appearance as much as possible.
"My lord, I caught two mercenaries and tied them to the training ground." Two soldiers ran towards him and saluted the sheriff.
This residence of the sheriff is heavily guarded. The old soldiers almost treat their homes as a barracks. Except for a few servants, all soldiers live here, live, train, and defend.
"..." Su Mo frowned, after all he dared not speak, but nodded heavily.
The two soldiers were accustomed to his taciturn, and accompanied him through the garden path and walked inside. The last time Su Mo had been there, he had a certain impression that he also bought a topographic map from the tavern.
On the training ground, a pair of soldiers were training. They were strictly disciplined and did not attract their attention when others came.
Two people who looked like mercenaries were trapped on the pillars and had already begun to accept punishment.
Although there is the sun today, it still can't bring much warmth to everyone in the deep winter, but these two mercenaries are all wet, obviously deliberately splashed with water.
It's cruel.
The hair and beards of the two mercenaries had begun to freeze, their bodies shaking like sieves.
I really wonder if they can wait in this state until the real sheriff returns to the house after patrolling from the outside.
"..." Su Mo raised a hand and opened his fingers.
"Fifty whips, the adults have an order to beat the two men fifty whips." The soldier understood. He didn't need Su Mo to speak before he understood what he wanted to express, and immediately a soldier ran to grab two thick black hair. Bright riding whip.
Uh, I mean they can be released in five minutes, and I didn't say fifty whips.
Su Mo looked at the desperate eyes of the two mercenaries with a very guilty conscience. The fifty lashes in the barracks were not the fifty lashes in the palace fighting drama. They could really kill people alive.
But he didn't have time to sympathize with the two cubs, and the transformation technique temporarily only had half an hour.
If he reveals his true shape in front of these soldiers, or hasn't settled it before the sheriff returns, then his fate is definitely not better than the two mercenaries who were poured cold water in these winters and had to be given fifty lashes.
He nodded deeply and walked away.
The two soldiers wanted to follow, but he waved to stop them.
He walked for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up.
"My lord sheriff!" The servants almost freaked out when they saw the sheriff walking straight toward him. They were terrified from the bottom of their hearts about the master who rules the family by military law.
"Take me to see the dog." Su Mo said vaguely.
The voice is very problematic, but the servant is so nervous that he can't even speak clearly, and his mind is buzzing, and it is naturally impossible to distinguish the true from the false.
"Yes, sir." The servant led the way with a pale face, hesitating that Su Mo's pace was fast, he had to trot forward, and it only took a short time to get to the kennel.
It doesn't matter whether the sheriff is clean or not.
As the military chief in the border town of the Federation, the sheriff is one of the richest people, not to mention that he has become relatives with the nobles, which can be seen from the area of ​​the sheriff’s residence dozens of times larger than ordinary people.
How could it be considered a military camp if the place is small.
Even the kennel of the security butler is a very large area. Not only is a huge and luxurious dog cage placed, there is also a place for the sheriff to work and sleep next to it.
A charcoal fire was burning in the fireplace next to it, making the dog house warm.
The big dog I saw last time was locked in a cage at this time. When the sheriff came in, he immediately started to wag his tail happily, and Hada Hada's tongue was stuck out.
It was walking anxiously in the cage, and wanted to run out.
After being raised by the sheriff for so many years, it has developed the habit of going out on patrol every day. Where there are criminals bullying the weak, wherever there is discomfort, thieves are hiding here, and they cannot escape its eyes and nose.
Su Mo stared at the big dog from a distance, and finally gave up the plan to get closer.
He pretended to cover his mouth and coughed a few times, as if suffering from a cold wind, he went to sit behind the desk, picked up the sheriff's quill, and the paper and started writing.
The servant didn't need to order, and started busy changing the warm water for the big dog.
"Take that collar down and give it to me." The sheriff told the servant vaguely while coughing.
"Hey!" The servant did not dare to question, and immediately led the big dog over and tried to take the collar around the big dog's neck. There was a pair of small bells on it with the Thorin family emblem engraved on it.
It is said that this is also a once glorious family, but in the turmoil of the demise of the Sartre Empire, they stood on the wrong team.
The big dog is a bit resistant, it wants to be close to its owner.
There is something wrong with its owner. If it weren't for the sheriff's constant coughing and worrying about it, it should be able to tell the smell of strangers.
The servant finally took down the collar and handed it to the sheriff respectfully.
"You don't need you here, go and do your business." The sheriff waved his hand and asked the servant to leave here. The servant did not dare to disobey, and turned away without hesitation.
When he was about to open the door, he stopped and said with courage.
"My lord, the weather is too cold. You must take care of your health. If you miss the young master and the young lady, please write to them this year and let them come back."
After speaking, he didn't dare to look back at the sheriff's expression~EbookFREE.me~ He left tremblingly.
Fortunately, he didn't hear the order from the sheriff to let him go to the training ground to get a whip. Today's sheriff has a very good temper.
After the servant left, only Su Mo and the big dog were left in the room. They looked at each other awkwardly and politely through a cage.
Su Mo took out his weapon from his backpack. The short gun was enough. Bows and arrows were not necessary, and the long sword was inconvenient. With a shake of his hand, the short gun’s magazine popped out, eight yellow-orange bullets. Stay honestly in the magazine.
I don't know how many bullets are needed to kill this big dog.
The mercenaries said that this big dog is actually an ordinary dog. When he was a little milk dog many years ago, he wandered alone in the cold winter. The sheriff took him home and kept it until now.
