Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 183 Charles nodded in agreement
That thing, you can only see the real magic side after calculating the runes that appear randomly on the lock surface after it is locked.

Then, the opening spell must be spoken using the voice of the person who had long been recorded in the lock before it can be officially opened.

Lowry had a lot of fun, but they were really going crazy during that time because they had to open the doors that he had locked.

Arsalan was so annoyed that he used the lock-picking technique dozens of times... But except for the basic locks, which could be opened by his profound magic power, the advanced locks were really not move at all.

The storage box is not worth much... Charles, who was corrupted by Lori's view on money, thought lightly... But with the lock, it can indeed be said to be in line with the value of the space ring.

This can indeed help the messenger avoid most mistakes. In the end, perhaps, those who want to take action against those letters will first react to look through the space ring that looks more troublesome.

Well, if the space ring is really so easy to be opened by outsiders, how could it be so expensive?

If it's an incarnation of a god or something like that who takes action, then... I guess nothing will work.

But, what about the people who opened the boxes on both sides?
Chesca is the one who needs to sort out all kinds of letters, prioritize them, or even throw them directly into the trash can. Does that mean he has to take the box to the Baron for help to open it?
That person calculated very quickly, and seemed to like this kind of rune calculation.

However, the one in trouble is Chesca, as Charles can ignore the sibling relationship.

However, what about the box that was sent back to Qingfeng Valley?
Charles raised his head and said very seriously: "Valera! I can accept your suggestion, but there is one thing, you have to open the storage box yourself.

Don’t make things difficult for me, and I won’t stop you.”

Valera blinked her big eyes in confusion: "Ah? But Charles, my brother...what if I'm not here?"

"I can ask the birds in Maple Valley to summon you." Charles answered decisively, "It's useless for you to hide anywhere, my sister.

It’s a meaningless choice.”

Valera sighed softly: "Well, I swear, unless I have no choice, I will be the one to drive.

So, Charles, do you agree with my suggestion?"

Charles looked up and calculated the income of Qingfeng Valley in the past few years, and then sighed... He had originally wanted to build a better restaurant by the stream in Qingfeng Valley.

The chefs of the Ghezar Castle also brought some smart apprentices into the castle restaurant. Although their cooking skills were not that outstanding, they still had a few specialties.

Charles was thinking about inviting a few apprentices with different specialties so that Qingfeng Valley would also have a high-end restaurant... The reason why these apprentices who could actually become masters were still called apprentices was really because there was nothing they could do.

If they are not qualified to enter the castle, they will be treated inferiorly in the castle restaurant.

There is really no way around this. If it were other castles, for the sake of so-called continuity, they would probably allow some apprentices with qualified skills to move in.

However, some apprentices might be older than the chefs.

Ten years later, it would be great if the qualification of castle chef could be opened.

However, it is impossible to give these apprentices who are too old a chance, unless one of them has outstanding cooking skills to the point of being good at everything.

In other words, the castle restaurant paid enough money, so the apprentices didn't feel anything.

Besides, they had signed a contract with the castle and could not just leave whenever they wanted.

But, if you come to Qingfeng Valley, it is also to serve the Gezar Territory.

There are always people who think that learning a skill and earning enough money to support their family is enough at first, but once they have really learned it well, they don't want to be someone else's assistant for the rest of their lives.

It's never wrong to be ambitious, as long as you don't let your ambition control your choices.

Charles actually thought about it for a long time.

Alas...in the end, it has to be delayed for another two years.

He knew very well that the only territory that really did not welcome outsiders was the Gezar Territory.

Qingfeng Valley, as the outer line of defense of the territory, still has to provide these merchants with the basic necessities for survival... Even though their territory does not have such a high demand for external merchants, the difference between having and not having is still quite large.

Since you have something to ask for, you can't be too harsh on the businessmen.

How could a caravan that can travel all over the country have people behind it?
Charles estimated the consumption levels of those fixed caravans and determined that if they could not go to the castle area, their consumption in the open areas of Qingfeng Valley would have to increase several times.

In that case, his plan to build a separate restaurant for the castle would probably only take about a year to complete… Presumably, the Gezaar territory would see an influx of outsiders for a few years.

Even if they can't get in, there will definitely be people who come happily and leave happily.

If you have been to the territory of Gezaer, you can say that you have seen the little white dragon...Charlis understands this mentality very well.

In recent days, the number of caravans coming from the territories separated from Gezar Territory by large hills has increased significantly.

The young men inside who were dressed like "businessmen" but had no business style at all, although they spoke ill of him frequently because they were stopped outside Qingfeng Valley, and even had murderous intentions when looking at him, would still hang on the big trees outside in the early morning, shouting and yelling at the white dragon's figure under the clouds.

The tips that the knights have rejected during this period are almost higher than their monthly salary... You know, the salary in the Gezar Territory is almost at the royal standard.

If you want to bribe the knights and have the qualifications to enter Qingfeng Valley, you have to do it without any hesitation. At least the 36 people on duty must be arranged properly.

That's really an astronomical figure.

After all, everyone knew that even if they were admitted to Qingfeng Valley, it did not mean that they would be qualified to enter the Gezar territory.

The inspection in Qingfeng Valley is stricter.

Although it seemed that quite a few caravans had gone in, they all either had to take out magical materials that Lori would be interested in, and the price they offered had to be 'appropriate' in order to buy their way in.

Or, their identities are indeed extraordinary, and they have reasons sufficient to make Lori nod his head... such as the caravan of the Dark Night Church.

Although the goods they brought were not the kind of good things that would make Lowry nod his head quickly, they were at least valuable enough.

Their purpose was to send money to Lori, and coupled with hints from the King of the North, the caravan of the Church of Darkness was allowed to enter so quickly.

The Earth Church is different.

The resources they brought were everything Lowry wanted, and the prices were so good... much lower than what Lowry bought from those middlemen.

However, how could a caravan without this ability enter the territory of Gezar?

Therefore, these dandies who obviously wanted to watch the fun and brag about themselves were really just paying for a viewing seat.

However, none of the knights of Qingfeng Valley were shaken by these bribes.

At first, Charles thought that all his men were honest and kind people!

It's just a little scary.

Normally, it is inevitable to be moved, but only those who have the willpower to suppress these moves are normal people... The thought of being discovered and losing their regular salary is the best reason to choose the right path.

Later, Charles realized that most of the young knights in Qingfeng Valley were natives of Gezaar.

Before Lady Yagris transferred it to the Gezar Territory, the people of this territory had actually been troubled by smugglers and foreign forces.

The respect that the men in Gezar have for their wives is actually due to the turmoil in those years.

While men took up arms to fight off external harassment, women had to shoulder most of the responsibility of supporting the family.

Including those fields that may not even have a day to wait for the harvest... If a smuggler suddenly feels that it is more convenient to pass through these fields than through the mountains and forests, they will just go straight through, not caring whether doing so will completely destroy a family.

At that time, all the capable Gezaars had left, and at worst they had joined adventuring groups. No matter how tenacious the people who stayed in the territory were, they could not resist these smugglers.

At best, it can ensure that your little home won't be burned down by these bastards passing by.

This is something that can only be done by the first batch of serious professionals who have retired from the adventure group and returned to their hometown.

Therefore, if the relations between the local people of Gezar and other border lords are cold, then their hatred with several inland noble lords on the hill side is absolutely deep.

In either family, an elder may die at the hands of the other family.

These elders all died fighting to protect their home.

Therefore, every family will ask the next generation of children to remember it.

In the minds of the young knights of Qingfeng Valley, every gold coin used as bribe by these little bastards who ran outside Qingfeng Valley to show off their power was stained with the blood of their elders.

The reason they were able to just refuse with a cold face was because they were very clear about their responsibilities and didn't want to be unnecessarily punished because of those bastards.

Although Charles and Valeera could not empathize with this, they understood why Baron Lori had always been cold and tough towards the several territories in the hills.

There is really no need for the nobles to consider the feelings of the common people; it is their freedom to socialize with whomever they want.

But even if civilians weigh very little, there will always be someone lighter than that.

Not to mention Baron Lori, who only wants his territory to be safe and sound.

Charles thought that after a while, there would definitely be people coming over who had similar identities to those little bastards on the opposite side but had no grudge against Gezar.

Then, one year would be enough for him to save up some money to build a restaurant.

So, even though he always felt something was wrong, he suppressed his doubts and agreed to Valera's suggestion... as long as he wasn't the one to open the lock.

Valera glanced at her stupid brother, then started writing the application with a happy look on her face.

She knew that Charles would be confused by the rune lock.
