Dear Broom Knight
#48 - Banyan Tree Cottage in Valeira
“Some people just aren't that important; their death might even be an improvement,” Valera said calmly.
Seeing the awkward expression on the face of the 'Blade of the Fierce Tiger' leader, the beautiful young woman smiled and said, “Don't worry about me. At least I still have a sister who cares for me, and some people are willing to lend a hand for my safety.”
Leading the 'Blade of the Fierce Tiger' adventure group toward the center of the valley, she suddenly stopped and turned around to solemnly instruct, “You must follow closely on the path ahead. I only know one safe passage.
Those incorrect paths are filled with Baron Lowry's failed alchemical experiments, the kind where even he doesn't know what the outcome will be.
It's completely random. I only saw one demonstration, and I haven't taken the wrong path since.
Now that the Wings of Living Feather are unusable, if anyone makes a mistake, I won't be able to save you.”
Yuri quickly turned his head and said, “Million, you go first. Severn, you go second…”
After those two, he arranged for Leon and a few other knights, followed by himself, with another swordsman behind him.
Valera glanced curiously before turning her head to lead the way.
Therefore, she naturally didn't see the swordsman at the rear, who was almost completely merged into Yuri's shadow. He didn't need to move on his own; he relied entirely on Yuri to carry him along, while holding a peculiar large flute and blowing wind behind him.
The path Valera led was strange. Clearly, there was a wide road ahead, with dense jungle on the side, but she unhesitatingly headed straight for a large tree in the jungle.
Fortunately, the 'Blade of the Fierce Tiger' was experienced enough, and no one hesitated.
After passing through similar paths more than a dozen times, the 'Blade of the Fierce Tiger' adventure group finally reached their destination, passing through a vine forest as thick and heavy as a stone wall.
Before them was a banyan tree forest surrounded by a winding stream.
Yuri was familiar with banyan trees, so he quickly realized that this forest, seemingly over 70 meters tall, was likely just one tree.
Valera skipped over the stream, only a meter wide, walked to the edge of the forest, and waved at them, “Come on in!”
Although the protective effect isn't much in the eyes of a Great Knight, it can be said to be very good for people below level 6.
Moreover, this cabin not only maintains clean air inside like a spell-formed cabin but also automatically forms certain furniture that shares the cabin's defenses.
As for how much it can form, it depends on how much magical energy the main body the magic cabin is attached to can provide.
Valera's cabin obviously relies on the energy of this banyan tree, which is several hundred years old and has initially become a magical plant.
Furthermore, this valley has obviously been turned into a magical energy gathering point, just like other areas.
No wonder Lowry arranged the magic traps at the entrance of the valley.
The energy gathering point here is obviously at the foot of the banyan tree, completely absorbed by this magical plant.
“The young baron is quite capable!” Leon couldn't help but exclaim after understanding.
“What about outside?” Severn asked anxiously, having finally reached safety but without a mana recovery point.
“Ah, don't worry about it.” Valera waved her hand and walked to the main banyan tree, pulling a metal rod.
“Okay, the road outside is locked.” She clapped her hands. “Even if they come in, they won't be able to find this place.”
“Ice hounds have a very keen sense of smell,” Yuri said with a frown. “Although we've tried our best to eliminate the scent, but…”
“Ah… don't worry about that.” Valera patted the banyan tree beside her. “Our great banyan tree can naturally purify all smells. Even smell-searching artifacts made by archmages are useless.
There's even less need to worry about dogs. Baron Lowry borrowed dragonblood hounds to do experiments.”
Yuri was relieved… 1000 ice hounds can't compare to the searching ability of one dragonblood hound.
However, not only do only the Northern Royal Family have that kind of dog, but not just anyone can easily borrow one.
Even Earl Montes finds it difficult to do so.
The relationship between Baron Lowry and the Royal Family seems to be closer than they realized.

Relieved, Yuri finally had time to observe his team members… Severn, after confirming that there would be at least a few hours of safety, had been plucking the strings of his instrument to heal the members, and now they were almost all fine.
Except for the pain.
Therefore, everyone was sitting on the ground, grimacing.
Yuri moved his fingers but ultimately did nothing.
Although this Valera, who possessed the Wings of Living Feather, was more than eighty percent trustworthy, he still couldn't completely let down his guard.
Pain points are fine; at least everyone will stay awake.
Valera went into the cabin, rummaged around for a while, and then came out shaking her head, holding a metal bottle in her hand, “Sorry, I didn't expect something like this to suddenly happen. There aren't many things stored here.
There's no way around it. After all, I live in the manor year-round, and even if Cesca wanted to give me something, I wouldn't dare keep it by my side.
This is a healing potion Cesca prepared for me. You can use it if you need it.”
“Not yet,” Yuri smiled gently. “We haven't used up much of our own medicine. We were originally planning to hold out in this valley.
I didn't expect to involve you.”
“It's not really a problem,” Valera replied readily. “If I discover danger on the mountain, I'll definitely run here.
The manor doesn't have much defense. Those guards will probably just run away when something happens; they can't be bothered with a daughter who isn't valued by the main family.”
Yuri squinted slightly, stopping Million from saying anything… They weren't stupid. Valera could directly enter this valley from the foot of the mountain without alarming anyone, so there must be a secret passage.
But how could they casually ask about such information, which could be considered someone else's survival secret?
Even if Valera knew that the 'Blade of the Fierce Tiger' adventure group was considered an ally, she wouldn't say everything.
From the beginning, this girl hadn't approached within 5 meters of them.
After returning to this safe zone, she had stayed between the banyan tree and the magic cabin, clearly also very wary.
