Farming in the Magical World

The central avenue runs through the capital, ending right next to the royal palace.

Along both sides of this avenue are either large merchant guilds or the residences of royalty and nobility.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the building opposite No. 8 Central Avenue, in a cramped attic filled with clutter, a pair of eyes stared intently at No. 8 Central Avenue in the darkness.

Ever since the owner of the house across the street came to the capital, these eyes have been watching over this place, recording everything here.

On the papers beside him, one could clearly see that the owner of the house had made every move and visitor had been recorded in detail over the past two days!

For example, the son of a certain duke visited this morning, left soon after, and returned to his residence around noon.

As evening fell, watching the two figures leave, the owner of the glasses wrote a few more words on the paper: "Manken Business Alliance, Andrew's head Simons Ken, left at dusk..."

creak...

A faint sound suddenly reached the figure's ears!

Alertly drawing his dagger, the figure held his breath and slowly turned around to look at the figure!

Upon seeing the figure entering the storage room attic, the figure finally relaxed its guard and turned around again!

"how?"

A hoarse voice rang out from behind!

The square-faced man, who was lying down to observe, didn't turn around. He simply shook his head slightly. "This guy rarely goes out. He's very wary!"

He paused, then asked, "Dorian, what about the itinerary of the Holy Church delegation that I asked you to inquire about? How long until they arrive in the capital?"

"It'll be ready soon, in the next couple of days!"

After a pause, Dorian's hoarse voice rang out again, "Can they really bring the Holy Church into this? Florian has long controlled the Arbitration Court; he's not someone to be easily fooled!"

"How will you know if you don't try?" The square-faced man stared intently at the house across the street, not turning his head as he spoke.

"Here's today's food. Those royal bastards are keeping a close watch on things, so I can't go around too much!" Dorian tossed over a package, carefully squeezed to the window, and whispered, "Eat something first, I'll keep an eye on things!"

The square-faced man looked at the food in his hand, then at the other person, before silently backing down!

The food was dry, and the square-faced man's lips were also dry, with a layer of chapped skin on them. But he only moistened his lips with water and dared not drink large gulps of water.

Although this place is secluded, it is extremely inconvenient to get in and out. If the two of them hadn't both had some skills, they would never have been able to get here.

The entire capital is under curfew now, so even they have to be careful when entering!

Reducing his water intake will allow him to stay here longer!

Thump thump thump... ...

Footsteps came from downstairs, and the two people in the attic immediately stopped all their movements and held their breath!

"Everywhere must be thoroughly cleaned before the master returns, do you understand...?"

"Yes, butler!"

"Butler, butler, the madam is looking for you!"

"Okay, got it. Hurry up, I'll go up and check!"

Then, a series of light footsteps approached the second floor, making the two people in the attic tense.

Fortunately, the footsteps didn't stop there, but went all the way to the next room!

Then, faint conversations could be heard in the room, intermittent and indistinct!

"Darling, I... I feel terrible..."

"You're insane... The master is coming soon..."

"I don't care..."

With a soft rustling and creaking sound, countless specks of dust fell from the dilapidated wooden planks of the attic!

Seeing that Dorian was about to sneeze, Square Face had no choice but to throw down the food in his hand and cover Dorian's mouth and nose!

"Pfft..."

The sneezing sound from Fang Lian's mouth and nose was muffled and faint. He listened for a moment and, finding that he had not disturbed the two people next door, he lowered his arm.

But then, Dorian patted his arm and pointed to the central avenue below!

When Fang Lian turned around, he saw a middle-aged man with a stern face leading several guards towards the gate downstairs.

"Master..."

"Hmm, has Madam returned...?"

"Master, Madam is in the bedroom... Madam..."

It seemed that a servant wanted to stop them, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally remained silent.

But the commotion next door hadn't stopped, and the two people inside were completely unaware of the impending danger.

"Are you going to do anything about it or not?" Dorian asked in a hoarse voice, looking at the square-faced man.

If they don't give a warning, this house will likely become the target of public criticism, and if things get out of hand, it will be difficult for them to hide!

Finding this place wasn't easy.

But if they are reminded, they risk being exposed immediately.

As the footsteps grew closer, heading towards the second floor, Fang Lian still seemed unsure of what to do.

"Master, the young master is back!"

A woman's voice suddenly rang out on the first floor!

With that shout, the sounds from the master bedroom next door abruptly ceased, followed by chaotic and panicked noises.

"Damn it, why is that old bastard back at this time..."

"What's the panic? Your belt..."

The footsteps seemed to stop on the second floor, and a stern voice rang out, "Have him come to my study..."

After saying that, the footsteps stopped, and then the sound of the door creaking open rang out!

Clearly, the room on the other side of this attic is the study!

As a new set of footsteps approached, two voices, one old and one young, entered the study.

"Father, the matter has been taken care of!"

"Hmm, no one spotted you on the way, right?"

"certainly... ..."

After a pause, the voice continued, "But I don't quite understand, Father, why are we doing this?"

"Heh, why? You're asking me why? If you hadn't offended that kid early on, would we be in this situation?"

"But... it shouldn't be like this! If we're discovered, that's treason... a serious crime!"

"Oh, child, you don't understand!"

The father paused, then continued, "Our family isn't known for its military prowess. If we don't make preparations early, what will we do once the Holy Church fully enters the kingdom? Will we perish along with the Andrew family?"

After those words, the study fell silent for a long time!

After an unknown amount of time, the young voice finally said, "Okay, I understand!"

"Remember, try to be patient these next few days. If that country bumpkin really is some kind of great magician, we can only try to build a good relationship with him, we absolutely cannot offend him!"

After a pause, the father added, "But what if he isn't? Hmph..."

After the young man left, everyone in the house quieted down and fell asleep, and only then did the two people in the attic start moving again.

"How about... we inquire about this young man and see if we can make use of him?"

It was Dorian who spoke this time!

"You stay here, I'll go find someone to ask around..."

After a long silence, the square-faced man nodded and quietly left the place.
