That's right, this prince-like young man was the traitor who killed Leo's family.
Feng Chou turned around and saw Chorre waving at Hogan with a smile on his face.
Looking at this scene, Feng Chou frowned and thought for a moment. Soon, he figured out what was going on.
Feng Chou knew that Hogan was a traitor because it was Hogan who had opened the castle's gates and led Drow into the castle.
But Chorre, who had already returned to Amborite, didn't know what this traitor had done. Perhaps as the chief knight of Baron Amborite, Chorre's older brother knew this guy's true colors, but he definitely wouldn't tell his younger brother the truth.
As the only survivor of the Lordship Of Pedro, Hogan only needed to make up a good story to fool Chorre, who didn't know anything, and gain his trust.
Most importantly, in Amborite, those who knew his true colors wouldn't expose him, because exposing him was the same as exposing Baron Amborite's true colors for murdering his younger brother.
Looking at Hogan's face brimming with enthusiasm and elegance as he walked towards the bar counter, Feng Chou revealed a cold smile, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
Although Hogan looked like a legendary prince, he was actually just a commoner.
He was born into a family of retainers in a fief near Fügssac City.
In addition to his good looks, Hogan was also a rare genius warrior. When he was sixteen years old, he relied on his hard work and talent to advance to the fourth level.
As the second son in the family, Hogan didn't have the qualifications to inherit his father's position as a retainer, so he had no choice but to leave home and make a living in Fügssac.
After arriving at Fügssac, the smart Hogan didn't join the ranks of mercenaries like other young people who had just left home and were full of naive fantasies. In fact, low-level warriors were the cannon fodder with the highest mortality rate among mercenaries.
Hogan chose a stable job as a guard of the Chamber of Commerce. While working, he received Rogue and Warrior training in a dojo.
Until more than two years later, he not only successfully obtained the part-time position of a level three Rogue, but also broke through to the fifth level.
Even after breaking through to the fifth level, Hogan still didn't rush out to make a lot of money. Instead, he continued to concentrate on training until his professional level of a level six warrior and part-time level four Rogue stabilized. Only then did he leave the Chamber of Commerce and join the ranks of mercenaries.
At this time, Hogan met Red Lion.
He joined the Red Lion and received a systematic and formal knight training from the head of the mercenary group.
Today, Hogan, who was less than 30 years old, became a level eight warrior and part-time level four Rogue, which was actually very rare among civilians without a strong bloodline.
As the most important civilian knight under Knight Erik, once the territory was successfully developed, Hogan would get a knight's territory as a fief. Why did he betray?
Leo also didn't understand.
In this world, in order to maintain the ruling order of the nobles, the nobles had almost zero tolerance for the betrayal of the knights. Once the betrayal was revealed, Hogan would face the trial of the nobles' court and the pursuit of the nobles and the knights' church.
However, Feng Chou didn't intend to understand why Hogan betrayed him. He just wanted this traitor to die in the most tragic way to comfort the souls of all the dead in Pedro Castle.
No matter what reason he had, what difficulties he had, his crime couldn't be forgiven.
In fact, with the Qiankun Tower in hand, it would not be difficult to kill Huo Gen in a situation where he was unprepared.
However, the deep-rooted hatred from the depths of Leo's soul told Feng Chou that this was not enough. This was far from enough. He wanted this traitor to taste the taste of betrayal. He wanted him to die in regret and despair!
… …
Hogan wore a warm smile as he walked through the tavern and arrived at the bar counter. He took a sip of the ale that Qiao Er handed him, and the two of them started chatting happily.
Feng Chou lowered his head again and laid on the table, seemingly uninterested in everything in front of him. However, Qiankun Pagoda's attention was firmly locked on Hogan.
Hogan stayed in the tavern for more than an hour. Not only did he coax Chorre into a smile, but he also chatted and laughed with a few of the high-leveled mercenaries in the tavern. It looked like he was quite good at dealing with money and relationships.
That's right, this Hogan was indeed a guy with a high EQ. Before he betrayed Leo's family, Leo had always liked this guy and treated him as a friend. This was one of the reasons why Leo hated this guy so much.
Feng Chou immediately followed Hogan out of the tavern.
From Hogan's conversation, Qiankun Pagoda analyzed some important information.
Currently, Hogan was a civilian knight under Baron Amborite. His position should be a squad leader in Amborite's retainer army. However, he had no subordinates and was only a single squad leader.
It was not hard to imagine that this was a rather awkward position. Under Baron Amborite's command, there were many knights who did not lead troops. They were the Baron's squire knights. Although they did not lead troops, they could be in close contact with the Baron. In terms of status, they were even higher than the knights who led troops outside.
Hogan did not lead troops, nor was he a squire knight. It was easy to imagine the Baron's distrust of him.
Hogan downplayed this distrust as the Baron Amborite taking out his anger on him because he did not like his younger brother. The reason why he continued to stay in the House of Amborite was because of his loyalty to his former master. Even though his former master had passed away, he still wanted to continue to serve his former master's family.
Feng Chou almost vomited when he saw him talking to Chorre about Leo's father in an agitated and sorrowful tone.
Feng Chou followed Hogan from afar and came to a small villa at the edge of the aristocratic district south of the castle.
It was indeed a small villa with a small courtyard and a small two-story building. It was about the same size as Feng Chou's villa in the Mage Academy.
After confirming Hogan's residence, Feng Chou turned around and returned to the Red Lion Tavern. He asked for a guest room and checked in.
In the guest room, Feng Chou entered the Qiankun Tower and canceled his magical pet contract with Goshawk.
After canceling the contract, Feng Chou signed a new magical pet contract with a small Bat. This was a small Bat that he had specially chosen. When it folded its wings, it was only the size of an ordinary person's thumb. This kind of bat could fly in the night sky without making any sound. Ordinary people would not even notice it flying two or three feet above their heads.
After leaving the Qiankun Pagoda, Feng Chou let Qiankun Pagoda attach itself to the small Bat. He opened the window and let it out.
With Qiankun Pagoda's guidance, the small Bat quickly found Hogan's residence. It burrowed into the gap under the roof of the villa and hid itself.
The thumb-sized Bat burrowed into the gap under the roof. Not to mention the night, even in broad daylight, it would be difficult to find its trace.
Qiankun Pagoda's scan encompassed the entire villa. Hogan's secrets were revealed bit by bit to Feng Chou …
