Hearing this, Belle suddenly understood, thinking of the way Rhode had brought her here.
Nodding knowingly, she glared fiercely at the knights before walking into the castle.
The knights breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there was no fight, they could feel from the aura of this guy that his strength was not on the same level at all.
If they really fought, they would definitely be the ones to die.
But there was no way, they had also received orders, and now it was best to avoid any conflict.
Rhode looked at the knights who were full of vigilance and still had their hands on their weapons, smiled slightly, the smile somewhat mocking: "You draw your weapons against me, do you know what that means?"
The leading knight's face was covered in cold sweat, and he said respectfully: "We have no intention of offending you."
Rhode was too lazy to listen, just waved his hand.
Powerful mental energy instantly controlled the knights.
"Get out of the way."
As Rhode spoke, the knights instantly became dull-eyed and made way.
Rhode swaggered into the castle, then directly erased the memories of the knights.
He wanted to see what had happened in the castle.
After Rhode entered the castle, the knights shook their heads, looked at each other, and all showed strange expressions.
"What just happened?" The knight squad leader frowned and asked.
He felt as if a piece of his memory was missing, as if someone had just passed by, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember anything.
"It doesn't seem like anything happened."
One of the knights replied.
"We've been standing here all the time, and we didn't see anything happen."
The other knights also said.
The knight squad leader shook his head and didn't think deeply about it, only thinking that he was too tired from standing for too long and was hallucinating.
Rhode walked into the castle, gave himself a stealth spell, and then used the necklace he gave Belle to locate her position.
When he came to the fairy tale world, he had already given the necklaces to Elizabeth and Belle, and with the mental imprint contained in the necklaces, he easily found Belle's location.
In a bedroom on the second floor of the castle.
Just arrived on the second floor.
Rhode saw two burly knights standing at the door, confronting each other.
The aura on their bodies was very strong, probably not much weaker than magical creatures.
Although in his opinion they were no different from ants, they were already quite good among these ordinary knights, these should be the two knight captains under the Baron.
As Rhode approached, he heard the two knights talking, one slightly older and one younger.
The younger knight captain said: "Miss Belle was brought back by me. According to Lord Baron's instructions, whoever can save Miss Belle can marry Miss Belle and become the next Baron Lord."
The older knight sneered: "Is that so, but what I heard was that a young man escorted Miss Belle back. Even if he marries Miss Belle and becomes the lord, it should be this young man."
Did this guy think that the guards at the castle gate were all his people? Didn't he know that he had also placed people inside?
Did he really think he would hand over such an important position completely?
Other noble lords around the territory were also watching, and if the two of them fought internally and suffered heavy losses, allowing other nobles to benefit, this was not the situation he wanted to see.
So, this guy could die, but not like this. A fierce light flashed in Wilton's eyes, he had to find a way to kill this guy silently.
Listening to the dispute between the two, Rhode gently rubbed his chin, he didn't expect that a small barony would have so many twists and turns.
But thinking about how much trouble he had to go through to get the position of Baron, it seemed understandable.
In this era of clear class distinctions, once you become a Baron noble, it means that your descendants can live without worry, this temptation is too great.
No wonder these guys will do whatever it takes to become nobles.
But unfortunately, they miscalculated. How could his things be coveted by others?
He has always been the only one who coveted other people's things. There have been people who wanted to snatch things from him, but they are all dead.
The two knight captains glared at each other, and then broke up unhappily.
The leaving Wilton directly found his confidant.
"Help me do two things."
Wilton looked at his confidant and said in a low voice.
The confidant nodded when he heard this.
A fierce look appeared on Wilton's face, and he said in a low voice: "Find a few people to kill the guy who escorted Miss Belle back. The second thing, I don't care what price you pay, bribe the people around Verly and put this medicine in his water."
This medicine was a magic potion he bought at a great price. It has no taste, but as long as you drink it, even an elephant will be directly poisoned to death.
The confidant's eyes widened upon hearing this.
The first task was manageable, but the second was a bit troublesome.
Poison Verly?
Verly's position was equal to Wilton's; if he died, it would cause a major upheaval.
Wilton glared, "If he dies, I will be the sole Knight Commander, and all knights will obey my orders. As long as I can inherit the baronial title, you will be the next Knight Commander."
The confidant's heart raced upon hearing this; the temptation was simply too great.
Ultimately, he couldn't restrain the ambition within his heart and nodded in agreement.
Rhode, who had been following behind, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
This was truly an unexpected disaster.
If he were an ordinary person, he would probably be out of luck, but unfortunately, he wasn't.
After the confidant left, he arranged for two groups of people.
One of the groups went directly to the castle entrance.
"Where is he?" the leading knight asked, frowning.
The knight guarding the castle frowned, "Who are you looking for?"
"Of course, it's the guy who just escorted Miss Belle back."
The knights guarding the city exchanged glances, looking utterly bewildered. When did Miss Belle return?
The people arranged to kill Rhode and the knights guarding the city stared at each other, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
Where exactly had things gone wrong?
Meanwhile, Rhode used a void traversal and appeared directly beside Belle.
Inside the room, Belle was lying by the bed, her face covered in tears.
An old man was lying on the bed, his hair gray, appearing quite old, but he was clearly suffering from a serious illness, lying on the bed unconscious.
Hearing the movement, Belle turned around and a look of joy appeared on her face when she saw Rhode behind her, but it was soon replaced by sorrow.
Seeing this, Rhode walked over and gently patted the woman's head, "It's okay, I'm here."
Looking at the unconscious Baron, Rhode frowned, sensing something was amiss.
This didn't seem like a natural illness; it was more like someone had poisoned him.
Who would poison a Baron? A figure flashed through Rhode's mind.
Wilton!
It seemed only this ambitious knight would do such a thing.
Moreover, only he could do such a thing, since only a few people could get close to the Baron.
Since it was poisoning, it was simple. Rhode directly took out an antidote and fed it to Belle's father.
As the potion entered his mouth, the Baron's expression visibly improved, and after a moment, he slowly opened his eyes.
His gaze fell on his daughter beside him, thinking he was dreaming, and he whispered, "Belle."
Belle burst into tears of joy.
Seeing this, Rhode walked out of the room and happened to run into Wilton walking over.
Seeing Rhode walking out of the room, a look of vigilance immediately appeared on Wilton's face: "Who are you?"
As he spoke, he directly drew the knight's sword from his waist.
Just as he was about to make a move, he heard a deep voice from inside the room: "Wilton."
Wilton's body stiffened upon hearing this familiar voice.
He looked incredulously at the Baron, supported by Belle, walking out of the room.
The expression on his face was disbelief. This old fellow was almost dead before, how could he suddenly be well?
The old Baron looked at Wilton, a hint of undisguised disappointment on his face, and slowly said, "I have always treated you like a son, yet you actually poisoned me."
Wilton snorted coldly upon hearing this, and simply stopped pretending, looking at the old Baron with a ferocious expression: "Old thing, you are too old, it's time to hand over the position to someone else. As long as you die and I marry Belle, I will be the new Baron. Under my leadership, the territory will definitely be more prosperous than it was in your hands."
"But it doesn't matter anymore." Saying that, Wilton pointed his sword at the old Baron, a fierce look in his eyes.
"As long as I kill you and this meddling guy, the baronial title will still be mine."
Saying that, he charged directly towards Rhode.
Looking at Wilton charging towards him,
Rhode was expressionless, slowly extending a finger and pressing it on Wilton's body.
Boom!
Along with the blazing fire, Wilton instantly turned into ashes.
With a wave of his hand, Rhode blew away the remaining ashes on the ground with a gust of wind, leaving no bones behind.

Looking at Wilton charging towards him,
Rhode was expressionless, slowly extending a finger and pressing it on Wilton's body.
Boom!
Along with the blazing fire, Wilton instantly turned into ashes.
With a wave of his hand, Rhode blew away the remaining ashes on the ground with a gust of wind, leaving no bones behind.
Wizard?
The old Baron's always tense face, at this moment, the tense expression suddenly disappeared, replaced by a face full of astonishment and disbelief.
Such a powerful wizard was extremely rare in his long life experience, especially since this wizard looked so young, yet possessed such shocking power.
The old Baron turned his head, his gaze falling on his daughter Belle beside him, lowering his voice, and asking softly, full of doubt: "Where did you meet such a powerful wizard?"
Belle blushed instantly upon hearing her father's question.
The intimate scene in the castle that made her blush involuntarily reappeared in her mind.
The image of her being ridden by Rhode until she fainted kept replaying in her mind, she really didn't know how to explain such an unspeakable thing to her father.
Belle stood there, her eyes darting around, stammering for a long time, but she couldn't say a complete sentence.
