Maybe the lord would send some knights to investigate...
Actually, this sounds like part of the lord's duty anyway. A group of armed individuals enters his lands - they should either present themselves to the lord, or they would be deemed suspicious (and worthy of investigation). I expect lords would want to know of adventuring groups on their lands as, threat aside, such groups are known to find plunder - much of which is the lord's due if it is found on is lands.
(I tend to operate an 'unwritten rule' where the lord returns half the cash value of the goods and any magic items - but he doesn't
have to. Such a rule encourages other adventuring groups to be honest in declaring their finds.)

...perhaps the best the sorcerer could hope for would be to be manipulated like a pawn in the baron's political games.
I suspect this would be in a minority of cases, unless the lord is a baron (or greater). A lowly bachelor knight would probably be happy just to keep an eye on any adventurers (Sorcerers or otherwise) and be glad to see the back of them when they leave. Not every knight is involved (or wants to be involved) in delicate power games.
(Politics and intrigue were perceived as somewhat 'unknightly' activities - which is why, being good at that sort of thing, the Byzantines got a bad reputation and we got the pejorative adjective 'byzantine' meaning complicated & secret.)

In the end, the law is whatever the local baron chooses to enforce...
"The king is far, and we are near"... Even the 'local' baron may be too far to deal with a minor Sorcerer and his entourage. Does the local knight really want to risk the ire of someone who can wield
real magic (because, unlike our world, the people of Legend know that magic is
real; with tangible effects)...?
Which brings me to Legend generally. Legend is a world where magic is not only real, it has been around since the dawn of time (there are hints of it being around well before the rise of Kaikuhuru). It may not be trusted, it may be feared, but it is a
real force in the world rather than mere superstition. (Even the lowest of mages is effectively walking around with a flamethrower up his sleeves.) Added to that, Sorcery may not be understood but, equally, it is
not unknown. Over the centuries, warriors who have adventured in the company of mages would, through observation, have gained some knowledge of their abilities (as fellow adventurers do) and these tales would spread... So there would be an understanding of the basic capabilities of mages among the more educated or experienced characters in the world.
I feel the attitude towards sorcerers might be one of wariness; the uncertainty of what these mages can do would lead to them being treated with caution and respect. Just how hostile the reaction would depend on the previous encounter the people had with a Sorcerer and how powerful they perceive the Sorcerer to be...*
* Which, in turn, might affect how the Sorcerer chooses to portray him/herself...
