Dear Broom Knight

Clayton thought with some worry, wondering if the gems and resources he had brought could be exchanged for one to take back.

If he had just one, he could almost guarantee that his most crucial transaction wouldn't have any hiccups... Moreover, he wouldn't have to worry about attracting fatal misfortune when certain things were exposed to outsiders.

He stretched on his tiptoes, trying hard to see ahead, hoping to see some movement in the stagnant line: "Sigh... why does this kind of thing have to happen when it's my turn?"

The lanky adventurer quickly offered comfort, but couldn't help rolling his eyes inwardly: You heard the news and rushed over from such a faraway place, of course others will come too.

Heh~ Trying to warm yourself by a hot stove is bound to get you burned.

If you were like those smart people early on, who rushed over here as soon as they heard the news, arriving two years ago before this checkpoint was even built, why would you need to stand in this long line?

Naturally, you won't earn the first wave of easy money if you only show up after hearing about the good results.

However, it's precisely because these guys exist that ordinary adventurers like him can make money, isn't it?

Feeling his wallet fattened from guiding these merchants in the Northern Territory, the lanky adventurer felt he could smile even more obsequiously.

As long as there are still merchants coming, scattered adventurers like him, who can't join the army, aren't valued by nobles, and don't dare to do anything big, will always have jobs to take! —

"What is it?" Valera gently asked her younger brother, who had gulped down two big gulps of ice water as soon as he entered the house, "A troublesome person?"

"Someone from the Church of the Night," Charles replied, collapsing on the sofa with a pained expression, "Very unreasonable.

Bullshit!

They actually wanted to swagger into our territory with the sacred emblem of the Dark Moon!

Did they really think we wouldn't know that the moon is also within the Night Goddess's domain of authority?"

Valera couldn't help but shake her head: "These believers, I don't know what makes them think that a mage's subordinates wouldn't even recognize a saint's emblem.

However, isn't the Dark Moon responsible for internal affairs within the Church of the Night?

What are they doing here?"

"You said it yourself, they claim to be handling internal affairs, so naturally they're also responsible for things like incense in the church," Charles gave his sister a look to figure it out herself, "Although they're ostensibly here for ebony incense, from what I hear, they're very interested in that illusion card our lord has recently developed."

"Illusion cards aren't only made by our Baron," Valera said slowly.

"Who are you saying that to?" Charles rolled over on the sofa and muttered, "Who can draw an illusion card like our lord, where the Medusa that comes out can scare His Majesty the King into fainting backwards!"

Valera sighed softly: "Sometimes I really wish the Baron would give up his pursuit of artistic painting.

But, looking at those mountains, I really can't say it.

Really, they're too beautiful, too beautiful.

People who haven't painstakingly studied painting like the Baron absolutely couldn't create such beautiful scenery.

Moreover, this is only the beginning."

Charles rolled over and slowly sat up: "Then I still prefer the Medusa that the Baron draws.

If there were such beauties in the world, who would care about demons and monsters?"

"Were you bitten by Medusa's snake hair?" Valera rolled her eyes dismissively, "The Baron himself said that that thing can only be looked at when it's still.

When it moves, it's not even half as good as Cheska and I.

It's just that it's more enchanting..."

"My dear sister Valera," Charles interrupted her bluntly, "The most beautiful beauties are the ones you haven't seen before. Who cares what the sister you see every day looks like?"

"Are you, perhaps, going into heat recently?" Valera asked with unusual harshness.

"No, no, dear sister, I'm just a little worried," Charles raised both hands, "That guy is the only one in all these years who is truly, sincerely, only looking at Valera."

Valera sneered: "What he's looking at is Valera the swordswoman, not the silly girl who could only be manipulated and gambled with her life in the past.

Don't be stupid, my brother, do you even have a brain?

He's a confidant of Earl Hamilton.

The reason I'm paying so much attention to his arrival isn't because I'm interested in him, even if my advancement to swordswoman did owe a little to their Tiger's Edge.

Besides, that was just some training materials they left at the Baron's estate to show their sincerity.

You fool, even if the other party is currently considered friendly, you can't let him discover any secrets in the Baron's territory!

Do you want the Baron to be poached by the other party?"

Charles sat up abruptly: "I never thought of that!"

He almost overlooked that point.

What would happen to Green Maple Valley if his sister Valera really had something going on with Millian?

Charles is said to be the number two person in Green Maple Valley, but in reality, he mainly handles personnel matters and preliminary diplomatic affairs for the Baron's territory.

Valera is the one who fully controls Green Maple Valley.

Charles shook his head vigorously, wanting to completely shake out the water that had somehow entered his head: "Sigh~ I interact too much with outsiders.

Sometimes I forget that we're not quite the same as them."

Valera looked at the Qingfeng trees outside the window, which had grown to seventeen meters in four years and were still growing, a slight smile on her lips.

Of course, she understood what Charles meant by 'different'.

Once Baron Lowry trusts someone, he gives them absolute power.

Just like this Qingfeng Valley, which is almost completely under her control… The traps in the back mountain of the manor were several times more lethal when moved to Qingfeng Valley.

Also, there was the banyan tree that seemed to have no trace but was everywhere, moved from the back mountain.

All the tall Qingfeng trees were actually covered with hairy banyan aerial roots.

And the thirty-meter-high building where they lived, as well as the thick and solid inner walls of the city walls around the valley, which were also twenty meters high, were also covered with blue banyan feathers.

The newest novels are first published on Liu_9_Shu_Ba!

Usually, these banyan aerial roots seem to have no other function than saving effort… As long as she allows it, the banyan tree can directly send people holding those feather-like leaves to a specific area.

For example, on the city walls, or in those small buildings and large shops scattered throughout Qingfeng Valley, including every floor of her high-rise building.

But in fact, Valera can even enter the heart of some disguised Qingfeng trees.

That is a place that only she can enter.

Don't look at the imposing appearance of their building; she and Charles have always lived here to manage various affairs, but the real core of the valley is not here at all.

Even if a would-be窥探者 looks like Valera is indeed controlling it with the crystal ball here.

But in essence, if an irresistible invader really appears, Valera can just smash the crystal ball and leave.

Of course, Charles, and the knights in charge of guarding, also have their fixed shelters, but everyone is assigned to a different place.

Baron Lowry is a kind-hearted and extremely cautious person… He won't judge you as untrustworthy before you actually do something wrong, but he won't easily give anyone a chance to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Therefore, only Valera knows the location of all the shelters and can directly close them when problems are discovered.

Her power is really great.

So great that even she is a little scared.

The reason why Charles occasionally acts foolish is because he always deals with those so-called important ministers and confidants outside.

He is used to the situation where the other party is valued, but also inevitably encounters power division.

Although this will cause some losses due to internal confrontation, it will not completely lose control due to the loss of control of key personnel.

Just like those guys poking their heads around in Qingfeng Valley… They are looking for the people in Qingfeng Valley who are responsible for restricting Valera and Charles.

They will never believe that Baron Lowry would entrust such an important place to a pair of siblings who seem to have a very good relationship!

However, Valera actually has a little understanding of her lord's thoughts.

Is Qingfeng Valley important?

In whose eyes is such a powerful checkpoint, which consumes so many resources and determines so many important transactions, necessarily important to Baron Gezar?

But for Mage Lowry, this is just something he can easily replicate again.

Compared to these, he cares more about how far the mountain behind the castle has been built and whether it can make Madam Yagris reluctant to leave.

If Valera really gets caught up in an emotional vortex one day and gets together with outsiders, then for Lowry, it's just a matter of changing it at will; he doesn't care at all.

But precisely because of his unrestrainedness, Valera will never waver easily.

Whether it's Mirian or Silian, no matter how good people are, it's not enough for her to give up everything in her hands to be a possible baroness… That swordsman from Hamilton said that the reason he had the courage to stand in front of Valera was because Earl Hamilton was already preparing to distribute territory and titles to his people.

Even if the territory is not large, even if the title is not high, Mirian is indeed the son-in-law that Marian wanted most back then.

And Mirian did indeed possess the sincerity that Valera wanted most back then.

However, so what?

Valera, who was able to become a swordsman in three years through almost torture-like methods, would never take off the robe representing power and strength to be a madam.

Illusion Deck: This box contains a set of parchment cards. A complete deck has 34 cards.

The magic of the cards only takes effect when drawn randomly. You can use an action to randomly draw a card from the deck and throw it onto the ground within 30 feet.

One or more illusionary creatures will form on the thrown card and persist until the illusion is dispelled. The illusionary creatures look lifelike, are the same size as real creatures, and behave in the same way, but cannot cause harm. If you are within 120 feet of the illusionary creature and can see it, you can use an action to command it to move anywhere within 30 feet of the card. Because objects can pass through illusions, any physical interaction with an illusionary creature will reveal its illusionary nature. When visually observing an illusionary creature, a successful Intelligence check of DC 15 will reveal the nature of the illusion. After a successful check, the illusion will appear translucent to that creature.

The illusion will persist until it is dispelled or until its card is moved. When the illusion ends, the image on its card also disappears, and the card loses its effect from then on.
