Dear Broom Knight

Valera and Ortis exchanged a silent glance.

Baron Watson, as expected, was notoriously insidious and ruthless.

After confirming that the new Earl of Hamilton was interested in showing off his power, he immediately rushed over with his family.

Now, Earl Ezra himself had to be careful, lest one of the Watson family's children die inexplicably before or after his succession ceremony.

A show of power is meant to make others understand his authority, so they will honestly listen to him and work with him in the future, instead of directly regarding him as a slayer and keeping him at arm's length.

Ezra, of course, saw through Watson's little thoughts... that fellow didn't intend to hide them, so he specifically borrowed Millian's house to arrange for Valera and her group.

It wasn't that the guest house was really unsuitable for Valera and them to live in.

Although it was called the guest house, it was a residential area that could accommodate all the northern nobles, with many small buildings scattered inside, shielded by evergreen trees.

Montes Castle used to have such places too, how could Valera and Ortis not know!

However, Earl Ezra would never want Valera, who could uphold justice at any time, to be nearby when dealing with the trouble Watson brought him.

It is said that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, but... when the local snake is bitten on the tail, or even on its vital point, this strong dragon is a big trouble.

Earl Ezra would never allow Valera and Watson to get involved.

As for the arrival of Great Knight Ortis, he really didn't expect it.

Fabrice had been hiding behind Qingfeng Territory for many years, and most of the time he would only send a Montes with a suitable identity but who couldn't say much as an echo chamber.

Basically, he would just say that the words of so-and-so from Qingfeng Territory are my opinion.

This was really the most formal response after Fabrice officially took over Montes Territory!

But thinking that Valera came from Qingfeng Territory, it seemed that this could be understood.

On the contrary, young people were not suitable to get along with Valera, the former Bright Pearl of the North.

Since she and Mikra thoroughly merged into one, Valera's beauty became even more fresh and natural.

Among noble women, this kind of temperament was indeed not common, and Valera had been accustomed to showing herself as a lady in the past... the occasional flashes of conflicting temperament easily made people indulge in it.

Millian was just one of her more famous pursuers.

Experienced elders like Ortis could control themselves and wouldn't want to possess beautiful scenery just because they felt it was beautiful.

But young people, especially those with decent strength and talent, easily thought, 'I'm so good, maybe she'll take a fancy to me?'

Millian was a swordsman, and even if his level was not low, many people would not take him seriously... swordsmen themselves were popular in noble families, but no one wanted to marry them and have children.

The reason why Valera had always had a decent attitude towards Millian was because this swordsman had started pursuing her before she had exposed her natural harmony talent.

At that time, she was also a famous beauty, and the power she held in her hands was no less than it was now.

However, these endless pursuers now, there were not many at that time... even most of them just wanted to play a love game with her.

Boys and girls with talent and beauty could cross classes and enter the noble sequence, but swordsmen who didn't have enough talent and relied entirely on their efforts to carve out their own path in life were rarely accepted by respectable noble families.

However, steadfast swordsmen never had this thought in the first place.

They practiced frantically, almost pushing themselves to the brink of despair, never for the sake of 'marrying into a wealthy family'.

However, even if everyone knew that swordsmen were admirable strongmen, people would still look at them differently because of their talent.

If Millian, who was pursuing Valera, was a Great Knight of the same level, there would probably be many more people who would consider whether they were worthy.

Unfortunately, there were always people who regarded bloodline and talent as capital, thinking that their existence was worth this price.

Of course, with Valera's strength and background, no one could force her... but for a smart girl, pursuers who were self-unaware and very narcissistic were really only annoying.

Fortunately, there was also Charles in Qingfeng Valley.

However, more intelligent lords, when sending people to Qingfeng Territory for exchanges, would try to arrange some more stable male officials, or simply send female nobles with more open minds.

Although there was no problem communicating with Charles on many things, it would be better to get Valera's confirmation if possible.

After all, their purpose in seeking Qingfeng Territory was not the sister and brother of Qingfeng Valley... if they were rejected by Valera and could only discuss with Charles, then the result of their hard work in persuading Charles would only be to get a chance to talk to Valera.

No one was interested in going through five stages and slaying six generals; one less stage was a good thing.

It couldn't be said that he was really face-blind; it was just that because he had been using skills to observe the world for many years, he first sensed the power of qi and blood when looking at people, and had gradually lost his sense of people's appearance.

He knew that Valera was a beauty, but Ortis was more concerned about the small pets that Valera brought, which looked small but had extremely powerful life auras.

Millian's house was indeed suitable to arrange for these two groups of people.

Although he was not a hermit-type swordsman, he didn't care so much about his living arrangements, and he didn't like to use many servants.

Therefore, most of his house was basic facilities that had not been used much, and some rooms had not even been opened.

Only the master bedroom on the top floor had more traces of life, but they couldn't possibly live there, so Valera directly asked Bowen to completely seal off the top floor and take the key away.

Ortis and Valera quickly divided the three floors below into two parts with the central main staircase without having to discuss it, and each chose one side to live in.

Although this would force the people on both sides to use the same staircase, the most important thing was to have one's own people living overhead when resting.

After all, there was no hatred, and the friendly period between the two leaders was obviously still going to last for a long time.

Valera walked into her room on the third floor and silently opened the window.

She and Ortis didn't bring many people, so only the two of them lived on the third floor.

Although Millian's house was relatively simple, it occupied quite a large area.

She looked up.

Outside the window was a small forest.

On the other side of the forest was Hamilton Castle, and even the figures that appeared and disappeared in the windows opened on the side of the castle could be seen.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Although it seemed that the area where Millian lived was not in the main city near the castle, in fact, his place was the closest to the castle.

After all, Millian didn't need to start from the main gate and go around a big circle to the main gate of the castle.

It was fine to glide over the top of the woods, or even jump directly into the castle from the treetops.

Leon had really considered starting a family in this earldom, so although Millian and the others basically lived in the castle, he still arranged suitable homes for these younger brothers.

The younger brothers other than Yuri were basically arranged on the left and right sides of the castle.

Millian and that bard naturally lived in the closest place.

As for Yuri, perhaps considering that he had to work in the castle every day, he specifically arranged his house behind those political affairs departments in front of the castle.

It was actually separated from the castle by a moat, but it didn't violate the tradition of the nobles by living directly on the main street in front of the castle.

Opposite the political affairs center across the street were the major shops directly under the Earl of Hamilton.

Walking into the small road between the shops was that reception, oh, the guest house.

After passing the area concentrated on political affairs, there was the residential area separated by a cross street.

Most of the shops there belonged to the small nobles of Hamilton Territory.

Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Valera was very clear about these things.

This was the standard construction method of most noble lords' cities in the Northern Kingdom.

She leaned against the window, frowned and pondered for a while, then tapped her finger on the windowsill.

A thin vine slid down from her wrist and quickly grew larger.

Valera took out a beautiful ceramic flower pot and poured some nutrient solution into it.

The vine shook, split into dozens of suction cup-shaped filaments that plunged into the flower pot, and began to divide and grow continuously, quickly covering the outer wall.

Feeling the data fed back by the vine, which disguised itself as ivy, Valera nodded in satisfaction.

It's still more reassuring this way.

Ortis also pushed open the window.

However, on his side, there was no such circular window next door, after all, it faced the relatively noisy commercial street.

But the back window faced a beautiful small garden.

There was also a fountain in the garden that didn't freeze even in this weather.

It was normal for the nobles' manors to have a water source that wouldn't freeze, but to make it into such a beautiful fountain... um, that lady holding the water jug seemed a bit familiar.

Ortis couldn't help but tilt his head to look, and then he saw the ivy that occupied only half of its territory in a proper manner.

He lowered his head and glanced at the unremarkable outer wall on his side, and scratched his hair helplessly.

Fabrice only told him to follow Valera... but how could he follow?

Ortis shook his head, dispelling the sudden inexplicable thoughts, and simply flipped out a bronze plate.

He took a deep breath before grasping the handle of the bronze plate with both hands, and began to mobilize the energy in the knight's core, frantically pouring it into it, until the bronze plate vaguely revealed the appearance of this building.
