Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 403: The Ice Visitor Who Doesn’t Want to Be Fertilizer
Valera stared at the group of people indifferently: "Charis, don't you have any news from here?"

"They are still in the process of finding out." Charles replied softly, "How could Rosalind, who lives deep in the palace, know so much about the changes in Qingfeng Valley over the past five years?

Her plans were bound to be deviated, and it was very likely that she would not even be able to take the first step.

Therefore, this group of people are mostly selling off their good stuff at a low price in exchange for some detailed introductions from the adventurers."

"Adventurers?" Valeera asked hesitantly, "What can they say?"

After Qingfeng Valley was directly divided into inner and outer valleys, no outsider could enter their core area.

Not to mention adventurers.

Moreover, because Valeera handed over many matters to Micro, the guardian knights in the valley rarely dealt with adventurers from outside.

As for the employees in those shops, whether they were the magic professionals directly under Lord Lori or those sent out by Qingfeng Valley, they basically only moved around in the outer valley. Even if they had a few friends, they didn't know Valeera at all.

They dealt with Charisse a little more.

Of course, the most important thing is that the adventurers who can establish friendships with these people are the type who attach great importance to their Maple Leaf Badges... After going through rounds of screening, those who can still be sent out to do jobs that deal with outsiders are clear-headed enough and know what kind of people they can contact.

Besides, the thing they have the most in their job is praise.

The human heart is the most difficult to judge, even if everyone of them wears a bracelet of clarity and their clothes are embroidered with various defensive magic patterns.

So they simply only communicate with people with higher Maple Leaf Badge levels.

Otherwise, they will act extremely aloof and ignore everyone except for serious business transactions.

Anyway, their stores have clearly marked prices and there are no discounts no matter how much you buy.

So much so that there are rumors outside now that the people in Qingfeng Valley only recognize badges and not people.

But this is true in a sense. The higher the level of the maple leaf badge, the more it proves that this person recognizes Qingfeng Territory!
Such a person certainly deserves a good look.

Therefore, Valera did not come out to explain.

So, let alone saying that they knew nothing, even if they were really smart enough to find some clues from the traces, it would be impossible for such a smart adventurer to say anything to this group of people who were obviously trying to find out something.

"So, they are still at the first step!" Charles laughed bitterly. "Even if I have many ways to detect their whereabouts and set up a dragnet around them, I can only watch them before they start to take action."

Charles even hoped that this group of people would figure things out sooner and take action faster.

In fact, he and Valeera also need a battle to scare the monkeys.

After all, five years have passed since Lowry established his authority, and it is clear that some people are beginning to stir.

It’s not that they are not afraid of Lowry, they are just wondering if they can find any loopholes in Qingfeng Valley.

Valeera and the banyan tree are very powerful together, but not that strong for top-level adventurers.

After all, it’s not level 16.

Moreover, in the eyes of many people, the reaction speed of magic plants is very slow, slow enough for them to quickly launch a sneak attack and then leave quickly.

In the past year, there have been significantly more people spying on Qingfeng Valley... It may also be that some people have calculated how huge Qingfeng Valley's turnover is.

Valeera would go to Chesca to settle accounts with the income that was handed over to the Baron's Castle every two weeks.

Moreover, in order to be able to communicate with the knight camp on the other side of the Great Cliff, the time for them to report their accounts is basically fixed.

If we could snatch this income before that day... this would be a turnover that even the White Dragon King would envy!
Who wants to fight to the death on the iceberg? After a while, you will be chased and bitten by the rapidly growing ice dogs.

Although these so-called top professionals are usually stuck at level 13 and cannot go any higher, they do not think that Valeera, who was born into a noble family and has little combat experience, can withstand a joint attack by multiple people.

But the adventurers were probably too frightened by Lori's reputation. Even though their eyes were about to pop out of their heads due to greed, countless ideas flashed through their minds. They might even have thought of dozens of ways to beat Valeera half to death. But they were just waiting for others to take action.

Even though they were unable to obtain the Maple Leaf Badge for various reasons and had been given the title of 'evil adventurer', they still hesitated and wanted to take action several times, but regretted it when the time came.

They were having a lot of fun hesitating, but it really drove Valeera crazy.

Every time she felt those covetous eyes from the sky, Valeera was fully prepared for battle.

Unfortunately, the magic beads Lori gave her… were actually just magic potions sealed with an extremely thin layer of beeswax.

Lori didn't know how he managed to turn the water-like potion into a honey-like liquid, and then used beeswax from a very special white magic bee that was specially used to extract honey from Ice Lace Flowers to completely seal it into beads the size of fingernails.

When needed, just before entering combat, place directly in the mouth.

This kind of beeswax will melt halfway at temperatures above 30 degrees, but it can keep its shape and will not break even if squeezed by lips and tongue. However, if you bite it directly with your teeth, it will break almost immediately. With Valera's willpower, she would not forget to bite because the battle was too intense.

Of course, if it's useless, you can spit out the pills after the battle.

When the temperature is below 30 degrees, the beeswax shell will quickly solidify again.

When Lowry developed this thing, he smiled and said that although he would use it himself, there was nothing to dislike about it, but he estimated that he would only use it once or twice at most.

If you really get into big trouble, don't worry about whether you have mysophobia or not.

At worst, you can just rinse it with ice water when you get back.

However, Valera spat out the same pill four times!
The last time, even Charles' face turned blue.

Valera couldn't look at the pill anymore, so she simply put it in the deepest part of her bag.

Never use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

But she couldn't let it go.

Valera looked at the caravans seriously and said, "Charis, can we reveal something ourselves?"

"I think it's best not to do anything." Charles replied quickly, "You're not losing your mind because of the pill, are you, Sister Valera?

The Baron has repeatedly told us that we must let nature take its course and not do anything extra on our own.

Although we are not stupid, for those gods and the court forces, scheming is in our blood.

Don’t let your imagination take you by surprise and use yourself as bait.”

Valera hesitated for a while, but still nodded: "Okay, let's wait for them to contact each other!
These two groups of people will collide sooner or later."

The only thing missing from those adventurers with impure intentions is a fool who dares to take action!
Rosalind sent so many people, and she must have assigned them some tasks. It is impossible for them to just get some information and leave.

She reached out and touched the banyan tree beside her: "Mi Keluo, please pay more attention during this period~"

"No problem." Micro's ethereal voice sounded in their ears, "I also want to try my skills!"
-
"What should we do?" The tall man with short brown hair walked into the warm tent, took off his white leather jacket, kicked off his shoes, and sat down at the low table wearing only thick white cotton and linen clothes.

Generally speaking, because autumn in the north is always too cold, although adventurers have thermal insulation layers under their tents, they still place chairs and low beds so that they are not too close to the ground.

But in the tents of these white-robed men, there were only wool mats and blankets thrown casually on the ground, a few thin quilts piled on the blankets in the corner... and a man lying there holding a quilt.

The few people sitting on the ground, wearing only thin clothes, not only did not feel cold, but were sweating slightly.

"It's so warm on the plains!" The middle-aged man who had been sitting at the low table did not answer his question, but sighed strangely, "It's a pity that our king not only failed to recover the lost land in the past, but also gave up a huge iceberg."

"Why are you saying this?" the young man who just came in asked in surprise, "How can we, who work for the Northern Princess, have the nerve to blame His Majesty the King who saved the kingdom?"

The middle-aged man sighed helplessly: "It's so tiring to talk to you!"

"Have you come up with a bad idea?" The young man turned to look at him, "Just say it! Why are you bringing this up with His Majesty the King?
He doesn’t care about us making money against our conscience.”

"You've been in contact with Han Bing's people too much, so your brain is frozen?" The middle-aged man was shocked, "We are standing on the land of the North, what's wrong with talking nonsense to His Majesty the King?
He himself doesn't care!

Can't you just let me finish what I have to say?"

"But if we don't understand what you said, who are you going to tell?" The young man turned to look at the man lying on the ground, "Bass, did you understand what he said?"

"Ah?" Bass dragged the quilt and sat up, leaning casually on a pile of pillows, scratching his short platinum hair, "You ask me?

Am I not the ice whose brain is frozen as Rogers said?

I don't have to understand this, right?
Anyway, we have agreed that you guys find trouble and I'll do it, can we succeed this time?

I have no interest in anything else.”

"Carter..." Rogers looked helpless, "Are you back here to cause trouble?"

"That princess from the north..."

"Change your name."

"Oh~ What the respected Queen said is all waste paper.

If we really do what she says, we can probably only serve as fertilizer for the banyan tree."
