Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 286 Taylor Voluntarily Takes the Bait

Taylor pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and said: “Didn’t you say that the Baron has been giving you troublesome work recently?

I should be qualified to do anything that can be done for you...Sister Cheska, I am willing to share some of the work with you.

So, could you please help me talk to the Baron?"

Cheska turned back and tucked a few strands of hair behind her ears with a smile: "Then don't regret it!
This is a very troublesome matter! And no matter how long it lasts, you can't regret it!
At least three years.”

Taylor swallowed, and his big eyes were shaking obviously under his slightly drooped eyelids.

Chesca smiled with confidence.

The little brother of the Toller family finally lowered his head and made a serious promise: "No problem, I will definitely stick to it to the end!"

Cheska nodded with satisfaction: “When the young dragons leave the Thousand Petal Lotus Hall for the first time, you can move in.

Remember, only those whose names are officially registered in the Knights' Order have the right to pass normally."

Taylor nodded dejectedly, "Yes, I understand."

"The living feathers are coming back. Starting the day after tomorrow, after your morning practice, you will come to the Baron's study and work with me."

Looking at his little brother's sad back, Chesca comforted him insincerely: "Don't worry, the Baron will not allow us to affect our knight training for these jobs. The daily training time is absolutely guaranteed."

Taylor paused for a moment, but in the end he was too lazy to argue with his sister who was holding his lifeline.

How could he not know that what Baron Lori cared about most was their own abilities and would never let external matters affect their career advancement.

Therefore, although the Baron usually assigned them a lot of daily work, it was all carefully considered, and he even allowed young and unstable children like Taylor to have enough entertainment time.

Although their so-called entertainment is to hunt rabbits with weapons, and then pool money to have a meal in a tavern... they will not go to the castle restaurant. After all, although they can only taste the chef's cooking during festivals, the apprentices who are responsible for the food of the Knights Templar are actually two-thirds of the chef's level.

Moreover, compared to the castle restaurant which was mainly for training and experimentation, they preferred the menu that had been determined by Baron Lowry, who had always been very picky about food.

On the contrary, the warm and unrestrained atmosphere in the tavern is more likely to intoxicate young people.

Especially the taverns on the commercial street in front of the castle, which are basically run by those would-be bards... It is really fun for young knights who like to fight and play.

Taylor has brought his men to play at each family's house many times over the years.

Although there are only six or seven.

But the food is quite delicious. Although not as exquisite and delicious as the castle restaurant, it is full of northern style.

Who didn’t grow up eating food like this?
No one would say that this thing is unpalatable.

The drinks are also good, and basically each shop has its own characteristics... after all, they are all purchased from the Baron's Castle.

It is said that there are more than a hundred kinds of wine in the wine cellar of Baron Gezar's castle. Even Taylor, who has lived in the castle all his life, dare not say that he has tasted them all.

Especially the relatively cheap but strong wheat wine and similar strong liquors, there was no way Taylor would drink them under the nose of his own baron.

Although Lori never had any dissatisfaction with them for this...but the little baron himself was someone who was far away from all these.

Taylor, who had followed him since childhood, would never do anything that he didn't like.

Therefore, his spare time life is also very colorful!

However, from now on... Taylor sighed helplessly. He probably would have to give up this free and easy life!
Fortunately, he had already built his own knightly structure over the years and had trustworthy subordinates, so he didn't have to worry about being... huh?

Taylor walked to the bottom of the castle, and the expression on his face blurred instantly. He looked back at the top of the castle with his eyes full of grief and anger...Damn Cheska, he was waiting for this day! Right?
His sister has long been dissatisfied with his spare time life.

Of course, it wasn’t because it was so boring for him to go drinking with a group of knights, but... Chesca felt it was unfair.

Because of Baron Lowry's dissatisfaction with certain professions, there is nothing that shouldn't exist in the taverns on Commercial Street.

The female knights of the Living Feather Knights would also go out to play together in groups.

However, there is one person who does not have the time... Cheska, the Grand Steward of the Barony of Gezar.

Of course, not many people were willing to go with her.

After all, most people feel that when they see her, they see work.

Of course, Chesca would not give up the good life valued by Baron Lori because of these little things, but that doesn't mean she doesn't grumble.

Therefore, she has been trying to find a few companions for herself. As long as there are people who are as miserable as her, then Cheska will feel satisfied.

At this point, Taylor could certainly understand his sister's little thoughts.

But what can he do?

The castle has been divided into two worlds by the inner wall.

Although Taylor hasn't figured it out yet, he goes in and out every day, so how can he not feel the difference between inside and outside?

The pressure from the dragon is of great benefit to the knight.

Even though Taylor did not go near the Thousand Petal Lotus Hall, his strength improved significantly just by training in the martial arts training ground in the inner city.

As the leader of the Castle Guards, it was impossible for Taylor to think only about his own advancement.

But before the dragon cub appeared, no, or when Baron Lori still seemed to care very much, Taylor didn't dare to make such a request.

But after the Baron completed his extremely complicated magic circle, Taylor felt that the castle had returned to its former relaxed atmosphere.

He didn't need to look at the bitter expressions of those heartless guys in the library to know that everything was now under the Baron's control.

Then he must fight for the interests of his subordinates!
Although Taylor is never afraid to charge ahead, he also needs people who are willing to follow him!
Even though the Baron split the current Living Feather Knights into three parts because he was unable to lead the army, Taylor still had hundreds of regular knights under his command.

Moreover, most of them were trained by him from squires to knights, and they would basically follow him wholeheartedly.

The loyalty of his subordinates is the burden that a leader carries, and Taylor must consider them.

Therefore, he could only have an unspoken communication with his sister Cheska, and be willing to fail miserably.

Didn't he know that Chesca, standing on the terrace, was waiting for him to take the bait voluntarily?
But what can Taylor do?
There was no way he could bypass Chesca and go directly to the Baron to discuss the stationing issue.

Chesca is the real steward of the castle!
The Baron would only support her.

Taylor lowered his head and pondered for a while, then dragged his heavy feet out of the castle. Then, when he saw the group of bards carrying musical instruments and walking towards the commercial street in groups, he showed a trace of resentment.

Speaking of which, although they were also the legacy of Leon next door, the few people on the bard's side who were willing to stay in Baron Gezar's territory had sincerely sworn allegiance to Lori.

They knelt down simply, and Lowry was naturally very nice to them and really provided them with very good treatment.

However, outsiders probably couldn’t understand what the benefits were, but Taylor, who had close contact with these people, knew very well how excited and happy these bards had been in recent years.

Take for example the little pubs that belong to them on the commercial street. They are definitely the best gift Lowry has given them.

Although they also had a place to perform in the castle restaurant, those performances were all very elegant, mainly consisting of singing epics and hymns, and sometimes just playing musical instruments.

Baron Lowry was one of those nobles who preferred playing musical instruments. He would even let bards perform with various instruments to form a huge band.

Few nobles would demand as much as this baron.

The bards were certainly not unaware of the performance form of the band. After all, most formal sacred celebrations required enough musical instruments to coordinate with each other to make the scene appear more majestic and grand.

But the performances in the aristocratic castles were basically small concerts with two or three people cooperating with each other, with singing as the main focus.

However, Baron Lori hopes that these bards will use all the musical instruments that have ever appeared in the world to play a combination of instruments to create a feeling that can only be understood through singing.

This is not a bad thing.

The bards were even very enthusiastic about this matter... The apprentice who first allowed the band to break the 12-person limit for the first time and used 16 people to play a piece of music that was recognizable as the spring concerto was not only promoted on the spot, but was quickly promoted to level 5 within a few years.

The most important step here is that the Baron doesn't understand why they only allow people with bard talents to play musical instruments.

Whether it's singing or playing the piano, which ordinary person can't do it?
They just don't have the power to resonate with the music, but that doesn't mean they can't immerse themselves in it.

As for whether the music played by these people can resonate with the laws, or even form stronger fluctuations of magic power, that is the business of you bards.

If everyone leads a group of ordinary people, and with the strongest bard as the leader, can they accomplish something?
Although the Baron was just talking casually at the time, the bards went crazy over it.

They searched everywhere for children with musical sense but no particular talent, and taught them playing techniques carefully...then, they used the sound of their own instruments as a conductor, driving the playing emotions of these children, forming a wave of sound dominated by their own magic power.

Taylor didn't understand it very well, so he could only describe it this way.
