Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 20: Sudden Plot

At ten o'clock in the morning, the summer sun shone brightly over the Barony of Gezar.

"Hurry! Hurry!" A group of ragged boys ran madly on the road.

In the farmlands on both sides of the road, several farmers who had been working hard wiped their sweat and couldn't help laughing.

"Did you get a feather of a certain grade?" A bearded man laughed loudly. "It would be even better if it was cyan!"

"You look so happy... Could it be that one of those children is from your family?" a man working in a nearby field asked loudly.

"The last one is his youngest son!" people in another field shouted.

"Then you must tell us tomorrow what the good stuff is!"

The bearded man waved his hands proudly: "There are so many children! It's good enough to share a few copper coins!"

"What a pity! Apart from bird feathers that he has never seen before, the Baron now only accepts bird feathers of a certain rank!" A farmer couldn't help but sigh, "In the past two years, these children have earned more than us adults!"

"We've been making good money for the past two years." The bearded man was very satisfied, "Who among us hasn't built a new big house?
It’s much better than living in that shabby place before.”

“I heard that there are still people living in the old city and not coming out?” Someone asked in confusion, “Why do they stay there?

Most of the town has been filled in, and there are only a few lonely houses left, so it’s hard to buy anything.”

"Hey~ We are farmers, why do we care so much?" The bearded man immediately stopped them... Even those of them who were busy working in the fields understood that this was not a good thing.

Baron Gezar has given everyone enough benefits and face, but if you still don't want them, that would be a slap in the baron's face.

Although the little baron stayed in the house and did not come out, everyone knew that he was not easy to talk to.

The last time they went to the castle to do odd jobs during the slack season, the Knight Cheska once brought drinks to all their construction workers... to celebrate Baron Gezar's official becoming the Lord Mage.

That was all half a year ago!
He also heard that even the youngest, Taylor, who was responsible for interacting with the children, had become an official knight!
In the Barony of Gezar, there are already at least 10 serious knights!
He had long surpassed the official knight possessed by Baron Wally Dugan next door, who always claimed to be extraordinary.

In the past, they didn't dare to open up fields on both sides of the road and plant crops... Otherwise, when the harvest season came, bandits would come from nowhere and steal the crops.

What are you talking about?

Don’t rob merchants, rob food!
Who doesn’t know where this piece of shit came from!
Even though there were many adventure groups available for hire in the past, who could the farmers afford to hire with their limited income?
Everyone could only find a corner where horses couldn't easily enter and plant carefully.

After Yagris came, everyone's life did become much better and they dared to plant more land, but they still did not have the confidence they do now.

The knights stationed here are just different.

The bearded man took a far look at his former home, then looked towards the magnificent, beautiful blue and white castle without any nostalgia.

It is said that the Baron has moved back to the castle from the Knights' camp, which means... that he will never leave here and return to the earldom, right?

However, Lowry, who was placed with great hopes, was planning to return to the Count of Montes Castle as soon as possible.

However, he couldn't help but ask, "Taylor, where do you think those kids got the feathers?"

Taylor, who already looked like a young boy, answered nervously, "It's the small forest that borders us and Baron Dugan!
Baron Dugan is a vassal of Count Montes no matter what, it’s just that the kids are climbing a tree…” 'Snap!'

Wearing a fitted soft scale armor, Chesca, who already looked dashing and heroic, slapped his stupid little brother away and asked Lowry seriously: "Baron, what's the problem?

Is there something wrong with those feathers?"

She and Taylor had examined them carefully. Although those green feathers had a slight hint of divinity, it was obviously just the attributes of the bird itself.

This is at least a third-level flying bird!

If it hadn't happened to appear when Master Lowry's demand for feathers changed from blue to cyan, and if it hadn't been a relic picked up by a group of children, Chesca wouldn't have been so cautious as to ask Lowry to check it again.

Fortunately, she was cautious enough.

Cheska's heart was moved when he took a look at the two birds rubbing against each other on the huge branch-shaped rack near the window, with only a line of blue on the back of their heads and the rest of their feathers being pure white.

Lori nodded and shook his head: “The only use of this thing is to prevent Huoyu from using direct communication methods for a period of time.

It is not easy for Huo Yu to eliminate this kind of filth hidden under the divinity.

Moreover, due to the sudden change in properties, it will be impossible to connect with the feathers that were emitted in the past.

Cheska, go and ask those adventure groups that swore allegiance to me whether any of them have gone to the vicinity of Baron Dugan's territory.

Or, the County of Montes."

Cheska quickly stood up and left the study.

"You mean there's something wrong with Baron Dugan... How is that possible?" Mal, who only understood a little bit, was extremely surprised. "That old guy is quite greedy, but he's very timid!"

"Old Dugan's daughter married Baron Batty." Lowry organized Dugan's in-laws in his mind. "The wife of the second son of Count Montes is the daughter of Baron Batty."

"Damn it!" Komlan was extremely angry, "The Baron has already avoided it so obviously, what else do they want to do?
No matter how precious the living feather is, it can’t possibly affect…”

Lori shook his head, interrupting Comlan's erroneous thoughts: "You think too much. This is not directed at me."

He raised the feathers in his hand and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be a bird of paradise, and it is indeed only the temple that can produce it.

But the rotten smell underneath doesn't seem like a proper temple. At least the Church of the Lord of Storms wouldn't be able to produce something like this."

"Don't we all believe in the Lord of Storms in the Northern Kingdom?" Komlan was a little confused.

Although they barons prefer blue, the main reason they immediately ask for cyan when their wishes are fulfilled is that the Lord of Storms prefers cyan.

Therefore, in the Kingdom of the North, cyan and black have always been the most popular colors.

"So..." Lori looked at the feather in his hand, took out a box and locked it tightly inside, "It seems that I have to go find my teacher who is away from home every other day."

Lori suddenly felt that the usually stable Montes Territory seemed not so safe anymore.
