Dear Broom Knight

"Baron, Cesca has something to report."

Lorry, who had been rolling around on the ground, suddenly jumped up and quickly changed out of his wrinkled robe before sitting back at his desk with a serious expression: "Come in."

Cesca, still carrying the smell of gunpowder, walked in fully armed: "Baron, the Tiger's Blades are quite cooperative. We've cleaned up back and forth three times and can confirm that there's no particularly obvious evidence left behind."

Anyway, the matter has already come out, and whether or not to investigate carefully is up to His Majesty the King's own choice.

We can't get involved."

Justice isn't something an ordinary nobleman should be concerned with.

Besides, those guys' main target wasn't Lorry… which is easy to see.

The most troublesome thing about alchemical bombs isn't their destructive power.

Even a low-level mage like Lorry would be hard to kill directly without a shield, after all, they are surrounded by magical power.

If you want to assassinate a mage, poison and magic-breaking daggers are much more useful.

The damage of alchemical bombs has a limit, at most it can only seriously injure an unprepared Lorry.

However, Lorry's shield spell has never been interrupted.

This 1st-circle spell, which can be cast with a single thought, can be maintained simply by the mage exchanging magic power with the outside world, as long as the mage doesn't enter a magic-free zone. Basically, it's always maintained unless the mage chooses to dispel it himself.

Lorry isn't stupid, except for special situations or when doing some exclusive spell research, he even sleeps with a shield up.

Moreover, although the Baron's Castle seems to have a lot of people coming and going, it is actually under strict surveillance. It's okay to send in a few spies, but it's impossible to send in so many bombs.

There's no way, Lorry isn't like a normal nobleman who needs servants to attend to him when he goes out.

He can completely maintain his life without relying on servants, so when Cesca hires servants, he can completely investigate whether there are any problems with their ancestors for eight generations.

Even the most capable spy would find it difficult to write their life story so perfectly. There will always be some suspicious points.

Since it's not urgently needed, it's perfectly acceptable to exclude anyone who seems even slightly off.

The biggest difference between Lorry and some great nobles is that he doesn't care whether any of the residents or relatives in his territory have joined the King's army.

His own home is the King's army's base camp, so what's he afraid of?

Besides, if someone could really craft their resume so perfectly, they wouldn't be coming for Lorry.

If someone could pass Lorry's detailed investigation, they could go directly to work for the King!

Although Lorry hasn't been idle for so many years and has a constant stream of good things in his hands, he really doesn't have the qualifications for that.

In a fantasy world, there will always be people who are particularly lucky, but as long as their identity matches that good luck, they will only receive the envy of outsiders.

For example, Lorry's Live Feather, and those various materials with unknown origins, are all manifestations of his luck.

Lucky people can pick up gold even walking on a crowded street… even if hundreds of people have just passed by that place.

But if those materials were transformed into the same thing, Lorry would be in big trouble.

Resources are always the most fundamental thing in this world.

Lorry still knows his own limitations and won't consider himself some kind of chosen one just because he has a incomplete version of a knight manor game focused on farming and food, making everyone covet him.

And alchemical bombs, of course, can't kill high-level knights.

Even knights who focus on agility have enough constitution and endurance to withstand this kind of damage.

Especially great knights who have passed level 10 and have some permanent defensive traits.

Therefore, the greatest use of alchemical bombs is to create chaos in crowded places, attracting the attention of certain powerful individuals, in order to engage in some evil schemes.

The greatest possibility is that they were aiming for Earl Montes' side.

Lorry, who has branched out from the family, is doing well enough by helping to clear away some possible troubles. How could he possibly help investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, or even draw the other party's hostility to himself?

Even if Earl Montes knew about these things, he wouldn't make such a shameless request.

Giving a reminder is already Lorry being filial as a son.

"Should I have Maru send a letter to the Earl's mansion?" Cesca also raised this question.

There's no way around it, the explosion was too loud to hide.

Mrs. Yagris is still at the Earl's Castle, and Lorry hasn't completely fallen out with his own father, so some things, even if they're awkward and fake, have to be done.

The newest and most complete novels are first published on 69shu.com!

But in order to prevent Earl Montes from digging up too much information from the messenger, someone who doesn't know what happened even after seeing the whole process has to be sent.

Maru is perfect.

The reason he and Komlan are inseparable is because the two of them always maintain a state where one person is thinking… Interestingly, no one can understand their natural exchange.

They don't even need to speak. Just exchanging a glance is enough to switch the person doing the thinking.

Since Cesca mentioned Maru, it means that Komlan has been responsible for thinking during this time.

Maru has probably been zoning out the whole time.

He still knows the superficial things, but he doesn't take them to heart.

"Okay," Lorry replied with a steady expression, "Remember to have him bring some fruit to my mother."

Although the few fields of the Baron's Castle haven't started to be used yet, the small hill next to it, which is only 30 meters high, has already been planted with fruit trees by Lorry.

Of course, when they were planted, they were only three-year-old seedlings.

This is the result of Lorry's many years of experimentation with his small orchard… Although he can use one-click planting and one-click harvesting when he enters the virtual castle himself, the intermediate care, including weeding, can't be done.

However, Lorry didn't expect too much, after all, it's actually using his mental power.

This is something he only figured out after he became a mage and had a deeper understanding of his mental sea.

Although it doesn't consume much, after all, he was able to use it from a very young age, it is indeed a kind of consumption.

Fortunately, because he is relatively vigilant, he never studies the manor under other people's eyes, so the things he plants during the day are all plants with a relatively long growth time.

When he returns to his bedroom at night, he only spends one or two hours planting things with a short growth time. When he gets sleepy, he directly switches back and then goes to sleep.
