Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 17 The First Thing is to Take the Bird's Nest

Fortunately, even though the name is so simple, there will definitely be no duplicate names that need to be changed, and fireworks were set off directly on the panel to congratulate the success.

And Lori, at this moment, didn't care about the things that were sent into the virtual castle. He directly placed the pair of small live feathers that were about the size of a hummingbird on the cuffs of his black and gold robe.

Then he turned around, with a serious look on his face, and confidently wrote the name Huoyu again on the document of the Knights Templar.

"Living Feather?" Cheska repeated, laughing in surprise, "Although it's a good name, it's too big...Aaaaah! What is that?"

The almost voice-breaking shout proved that Cheska was indeed surprised. Little brother Taylor, who was standing behind her, immediately squatted down, covering his ears.

But the young boy's eyes were still fixed on Lowry's raised hands.

The pair of tiny birds made up of countless feathers that Lowry took out from his long sleeves attracted the attention of all people with good eyesight.

"Master Lori... when did you get this pair of live feathers?" Cheska tried his best to calm himself down and asked with his fists clenched, "Can you, me, and our Barony of Gezar keep them alive?"

"It's easy to raise them in the early stages." Lowry replied with a bright smile, "As long as there are enough bird feathers.

If there are really no such things, domestic chickens, ducks, and geese can be used. It will just slow down their growth period a little, but will not affect their lives in any way.

Magical creatures like Huoyu are much easier to survive than us humans as long as they hide well.

Otherwise, their parents wouldn’t be so careless and run away right after giving birth.”

Lori tilted his head: "As for how to get it~ As long as you live long enough, what can't you see?

If you like to wander around, it will be easier.”

Naturally, the nonsense he said earned him a glare from Chesca.

But Cheska, who knew his lord well, also understood that the method of obtaining the living feathers might need to be kept secret, but it was definitely not the kind of crooked way that couldn't even show the living feathers themselves in front of people.

So she just asked seriously: "Any kind of feathers will do?

If even mortal creatures can do it, then let Taylor be responsible for collecting bird feathers."

Chesca naturally wouldn't pay attention to nonsense like chickens, ducks, and geese. No matter how easy these things are to raise, they are magical creatures and there is no way they can be treated so badly.

"Taylor, is this okay?" Lowry tilted his head and had to follow his serious deputy to be serious, "Otherwise, let him take two followers and go to the town to find children to do this job?
Children know best where the birds are.”

Anyway, when I have nothing to do every day, I will go to rob bird nests.

Cheska nodded. "That's fine. It's more appropriate for us to start our first contact with the Gezale Territory with the children."

It just so happens that their Master Lowry has always had a great reputation.

Even though it was absurd to arrange for the children to rob bird nests right away, it seemed understandable when it happened to Lowry.

After all, the people of Gezar's territory have become accustomed to the days of being left unattended over the years. Although they have made a lot of money from the construction of the Baron's Castle, they are still watching from afar.

Being able to use this method to open up an entry point is much better than what she originally imagined... Chesca narrowed her eyes suddenly and glanced at Lori lightly.

The young master who was pulling Taylor and discussing collecting the white and blue feathers first didn't seem to think so much.

But Chesca didn't dare to really think that he knew nothing. Whether it was the advice given by her family before she followed Lori, or the young master she saw later, Chesca always reminded herself not to be confused by external things.

Just like this pair of living feathers that came from nowhere.

Lowry has loved running around since he was a child, and would even go to any dangerous place.

Although the Earl was always reluctant to hurt Lady Yagris's feelings, he still beat up Master Lowry several times at the risk of being beaten black and blue by her.

It’s all because this young master went to some places he shouldn’t have gone.

For example, at the age of five, he climbed the steepest and highest cliff in the Montes territory... No one even knew how he sneaked out of the castle and climbed the mountain by himself.

Although Cheska's mother once said that it was because one of her former colleagues was too irresponsible and underestimated Master Lowry's energy and vengeance... When Master Lowry was particularly dissatisfied with his daily account book, Madam Yagris had actually planned to send the senior maid away from the castle.

However, when nobles do things, they always like to hide everything under the surface of peace and tranquility.

Especially since this might cause Lady Yagris to lose face on the left wing... these were the people that Yagris brought to Montes Castle herself.

In order to ensure Lori's safety, so many of Montes Castle's original high-level maids were cleared out, and a maid with the strength of a knight was specially arranged, but the result was a mess... Even Pat didn't expect that someone with such a high salary would be greedy for such a small amount of money.

For Yagris, who had fought on the battlefield for many years and had military merits, Lowry's money was really nothing, otherwise Pat would not have been so confident in letting that person handle his daily accounts.

However, no one expected that she, whose income was comparable to that of some minor nobles, would be so short of money... In the words of Chesca's mother, that was called earning an official's annual salary but living the life of a prince's princess.

Some of the expensive and luxurious jewelry that were later discovered was so expensive that even Mrs. Yagris herself had to hesitate for a long time before buying them.

Who could have imagined that a strong female warrior who had fought with Yagris on the battlefield would fall into such a pit?
But precisely because of those indelible memories, the lady and Pat planned to wait for the right time to send him away.

But Master Lowry probably couldn't understand the way adults thought, and just felt that no one took him seriously.

Then, there was this thrilling mountain climbing activity...with the Montes Castle almost overturned as the background.

However, from then on, Lady Yagris and Count Montes would give him some information on matters related to Master Lowry and would not make all the decisions for him just because he was young.

Even though Master Lori suddenly came to the Barony of Gezar this time, it seemed that he had been acting very passive.

But that's because it's just the timing that's different.

The result had been decided long ago, and Master Lowry himself had nodded in approval.

Otherwise, Mrs. Yagris wouldn't have been so tough on Count Montes...Except for his biological mother, Master Lowry was not attached to anything in the Count's castle.

　Living Feathers have no natural predators, though they are sometimes hunted for their magical gifts. If killed, a Living Feather will yield a number of feathers that can be used for feather weaving or feather magic. A high-level Living Feather may yield enough feathers for a feather rug.

　　Most living feathers grow very slowly, searching for bright feathers to join them. When low-level living feathers reach their growth limit, they will begin to look for more and more materials to incorporate into their form. Once they reach their goal, or obtain a feather amulet, they will transform into high-level living feathers.

　　This is a special creature from the Maztec continent in DND. I like its setting very much, but in Hill's story, that continent must have no presence.

　　What an interesting creature!
　　But even in the DND story, this creature is not important.

　　It's like a creature that was created with wonderful beauty and a beautiful song, but is destined to be destroyed by humans. Even the illustrations are so crude.
