Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 101: Qingfeng Valley Master Valera

Clayton thought a little worriedly, wondering if he could exchange the gem resources he brought with him for something.

As long as he has one, he can almost ensure that there will be no mistakes in his most core transactions... and he doesn't have to worry about being killed when something is exposed to outsiders.

He stood on tiptoe and tried to look forward, hoping to see some movement in the stagnant team: "Alas... why did this happen when it was my turn?"

The tall and thin adventurer hurriedly spoke to comfort him, but he couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart: You heard the news and rushed here from such a far place, others will naturally come too.

Haha~ If you rush to a hot stove, you will naturally get burned.

If we were like those smart people in the early days, we would have rushed here directly as soon as we heard the news and arrived here two years ago when this checkpoint was not yet built. Why would we have to queue up here?

If you have to wait until you hear good results before showing up, you will naturally not be able to earn the first wave of hot money.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of these guys that ordinary adventurers like him can make money, isn't it?

Touching his wallet, which was fat from guiding these merchants in the North, the tall and thin adventurer felt that he could smile a little more flatteringly.

As long as there are merchants coming, there will always be work for adventurers like him who can neither join the army nor be favored by the nobles, and who dare not do anything big! -
"What's wrong?" Valera gently asked her brother, who gulped down two gulps of ice water as soon as he entered the room, "Is he a troublesome person?"

"People from the Church of Evernight." Charles collapsed on the sofa, his face filled with agony as he answered, "They're being unreasonable.

shit!

He actually wanted to brazenly enter our territory with the holy emblem of Dark Moon!
Do you really think we don't know that the moon is also within the scope of the goddess of night?"

Valera couldn't help but shook her head: "These believers, I don't know what makes them think that the mage's men can't even figure out the Saint's Badge.

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

Why are they coming to us?"

"You said it yourself. They claim to be in charge of internal affairs, so they are naturally responsible for the incense in the church." Charles gave his sister a look that told her to take care of herself. "Although they are ostensibly here for the ebony incense, it sounds to me that they are very interested in the illusion card that our lord has recently researched."

"It's not like we Barons are the only ones who can make illusion cards." Valeera said slowly.

"Who are you talking to?" Charles turned over on the sofa and muttered, "Who can draw a phantom card like our lord and cast a Medusa that can scare His Majesty the King to his knees!"

Valera sighed softly: "Sometimes I really hope that the Baron can give up his pursuit of painting art.

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

Really, it’s so beautiful.

Only someone who studies painting as carefully as the Baron could have created such a beautiful scene.

And this is just the beginning.”

Charles turned over and sat up slowly: "Then I still prefer the Baron's painting of Medusa.

If there is such a beauty in the world, who cares about monsters and ghosts?"

"Were you bitten by Medusa's snake hair?" Valera rolled her eyes in disdain, "The Baron himself said that the thing can only be viewed in stillness.

When he moves, he's not even half as good as me and Chesca.

That is to say, she is more charming..."

"My dear sister Varela." Charles interrupted her bluntly, "The beauty you have never seen is the most beautiful. I see her every day, and she is my sister. Who cares what she looks like?"

"Have you been in heat lately?" Valera asked sarcastically.

Charles groaned and fell back onto the sofa: "Woman~"

Valera stood up and kicked him with her foot: "Speak human language."

"Sir Miriam of Hamilton..."

Before he could finish his words, Valera kicked him hard: "Stupid brother, treacherous brother, do you want to die? You actually used outsiders to test me."

"No, no, dear sister, I'm just a little worried." Charles raised his hands, "That guy is the only one who is sincere and has only eyes for Valera in all these years."

Valeira sneered: "What he is looking at is the swordsman Valeira, not the silly girl who could only let others manipulate her and gamble with her life.

Don't be stupid my brother, do you have any brains at all?
He is Earl Hamilton's confidant.

The reason I paid so much attention to his arrival was not because I was interested in him, even though I was able to be promoted to a swordsman thanks to their Tiger Blade.

Besides, those were just some training materials they left in the Baron's Mansion to show their sincerity.

You fool, even if the other party is currently a friendly party, you can't let him discover any secrets in the barony!
Do you want the Baron to be poached by the other party?"

Charles sat up suddenly: "I never thought of it that way!"

He almost overlooked that.

If Sister Valera really has something going on with Miriam, what will happen to Qingfeng Valley?
Charles claimed to be the second-in-command of Maple Valley, but in reality, he primarily handled personnel matters and the initial diplomatic affairs of the Barony. Valeira was the one who fully controlled Maple Valley.

Charles shook his head vigorously, trying to shake out the water that had entered his head at some point: "Alas, I have been interacting with too many people outside.

Sometimes we forget that we are different from them.”

Valeera looked at the green maple trees outside the window, which had grown to seventeen meters high in four years and were still growing, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

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

Once Baron Lowry trusts someone, he will give him absolute power.

Just like the Qingfeng Valley that was almost completely under her control... the traps and mechanisms in the back mountain of the manor had almost doubled their lethality after being moved to the Qingfeng Valley.

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

All the tall maple trees are actually entangled with hairy banyan aerial roots.

The 20-meter-high building where they lived and the inner walls of the thick and solid -meter-high city walls surrounding the valley were all covered with green banyan feathers.

Normally, these banyan tree aerial roots seemed to have no other function except saving energy... As long as she allowed, the banyan tree could send people who grabbed those feather-like leaves directly to a specific area.

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

But in fact, Valeera can even enter the heart of some disguised green maple trees.

That is a place that only she can enter.

Although their building looks imposing, and she and Charles have been living here to take care of various affairs, the real core of the valley is not here at all.

Even to those who were intent on spying, it seemed that Valeera was indeed using the crystal ball here to control everything.

But in reality, if any irresistible invader really appeared, Valeera could just throw the crystal ball and leave.

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

Baron Lowry is a kind-hearted and extremely cautious man... He won't judge you as untrustworthy before you actually do something wrong, but he won't easily give you the opportunity to catch him in one fell swoop.

Therefore, only Valeera knows where all the shelters are located and can close them directly when problems are discovered.

Her power is really great.

It was so big that even she was a little scared.

The reason why Charles occasionally behaves foolishly is because he always deals with those so-called important officials and confidants outside.

Although you are used to the other party being valued, you will inevitably encounter a situation of power division.

Although doing so may cause certain losses due to internal conflicts, it will not lead to complete loss of control due to the loss of control of key personnel.

Just like those guys who were snooping around in Qingfeng Valley... they were looking for the person in Qingfeng Valley who was responsible for restraining Valera and Charles.

They would never believe that Baron Lori would actually hand over the management of such an important place to a pair of siblings who obviously had a very good relationship!

However, Valeera actually had some understanding of her own baron's thoughts.

Is Qingfeng Valley important?
In whose eyes, such a powerful checkpoint that consumes so many resources and determines so many important transactions must be very important to Baron Gezaar.

But to Mage Lori, it was just something he could easily replicate again.

Compared with these, he cared more about the extent of the mountain behind the castle and whether it could make Lady Yagris linger and be reluctant to leave.

If one day Valera really fell into an emotional whirlpool and got together with an outsider, it would be just a trivial matter for Lori and he would not care at all.

But precisely because of his free and easy attitude, Valeera will never be easily shaken.

No matter whether it was Miriam or Sillian, no matter how good people they were, it was not enough for her to give up everything she had and become a potential baroness... The swordsman from Hamilton said that the reason he had the courage to stand in front of Valeera was because Earl Hamilton was already prepared to distribute territories and titles to his own people.

Even though the territory was not large and the title was not high, Miriam was indeed the son-in-law that Marianne wanted most back then.

And Miriam did have the true love that Valera wanted most back then.

But, so what?

Valeera, who had spent three years in a tortured way to become a swordsman, would never take off the robe that represented power and strength to become a lady.

　Illusion Deck: This box contains a parchment deck. A complete deck has 34 cards.
　　The magic of a card only works if you draw it randomly. As an action, you can draw a random card from your deck and drop it on the ground within 30 feet.

　　One or more phantasmal creatures appear on the thrown card and persist until the illusion is dispelled. Phantasmal creatures appear vivid and the size of real creatures, acting like them but dealing no damage. If you are within 120 feet of a phantasmal 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 see through illusions, any physical interaction with a phantasmal creature reveals its illusory nature. To observe a phantasmal creature visually, a successful DC 15 Intelligence check reveals its true nature. A successful check renders the phantasmal creature translucent to the creature.

　　The illusion lasts until it is dispelled or until its card is moved. When the illusion ends, the image on its card disappears and the card loses its effect.
