Farming in the Magical World

"You lost them?"

Leonard, who rushed back to Annecy without stopping, was not too surprised when he received the report from his entourage.

With Harrison, who knows the North very well, around, he had expected that the other side would be able to shake off his trackers!

But the question now is, where are these guys headed next?

Even though the Duke had not yet figured out the method and route of the invasion, in his personal opinion, these guys most likely entered the North from the Devil's Corridor.

It's said that it's inaccessible from there, but it's not impossible for an elite squad to bypass those swamps.

Which way did they ultimately head?

He went into the study, put down his riding crop, took off his coat, handed it to Daisy, and then asked for further information.

"Westward, towards Fromm!" the squire hurriedly reported!

"West?"

Touching his chin, Leonard seemed somewhat skeptical.

These guys traveled thousands of miles into the North, their main target should have been Duke Marcus, but they returned immediately after failing to strike.

How can it be?

The Duke of France and the Duke of Burton had no personal grudges against each other, so it was impossible for the other side to send elite troops to their deaths in the North just because of personal grudges!

He felt that this attack was a prelude to invading Andrew, and that the Duke of France might have already entered the North.

Thinking of this, he added, "I told you to inform all the barons to prepare for battle. Did you send anyone?"

After confirming the attackers' identities in Berleman, he immediately dispatched men directly from Berleman to the several baronies he was temporarily managing, informing these nobles to be ready for battle at any time!

The attendant did not dare to neglect his orders and nodded repeatedly, "We have already sent people, but the feedback is not yet available!"

Even if one were on horseback, it would be impossible to notify the barons under his command so quickly, so the lack of feedback is understandable.

However, this meant that the only way to capture the group of roaming French knights was to rely on the few regular knights under his command!

"Have you informed Lanny yet?"

Suddenly, Daisy, who hadn't been very involved in these matters, spoke up!

Castel Ridge?

Hearing this, Leonard was taken aback and looked at his entourage again!

At the time, he was in such a hurry that he seemed to have really forgotten to give specific instructions!

"They've been dispatched! The first people sent out are going to Caster Ridge!"

Everyone knows how much their master watches over that place; they can't ignore this place just because they haven't notified other places!

Nodding in satisfaction, Leonard finally breathed a sigh of relief!

While Leonard was worrying in the castle and Aidan was wandering through the dense forest, Tiffany, in Caster Ridge, seemed rather relaxed.

It's even a little boring...

"Candy, could you go get me some rosemary?"

In the study, Tiffany, who was sitting lazily in a chair, suddenly felt that she was getting tired of the milk tea in her hand and wanted to try making some new milk tea!

Since becoming pregnant, she hadn't tried this pastime for a long time. Now that she's gradually gotten used to the little one in her belly, she's not as sleepy and has more free time!

"Madam, here are the spices you requested!"

When Candy entered the study, Aunt Susan was following behind her, carrying all sorts of things in her hands!

Knowing that she was going to make a new milk tea, Candy not only brought rosemary, but also some spices such as cinnamon, thyme and sage!

Of course, a pot of delicious goat milk and a set of specially made tea-making tools are also indispensable!

"Madam, would you like to have stewed grouse for dinner again?"

After putting down her things and wiping her hands on her apron, Aunt Susan asked the hostess about her situation.

"Can you exchange it?"

Tiffany frowned, looking somewhat disgusted.

Even the most delicious food can become nauseating if eaten for too long, let alone Susan's only recipe for grouse: stewing.

"Then, stewed snow rabbit?"

Knowing that the lady of the house was somewhat disgusted, Aunt Susan asked again cautiously!

Now, Black Mountain Village frequently sends game over, and the hunters from Hogsmeade Village also bring some unusual or precious game to offer as tribute to the messenger of the gods, so there are many more choices than before!

"Oh, the hunting party has gone into the mountains again?"

Tiffany lazily raised her head and murmured curiously!

"Yes, there's less prey around, so they've gone further away!"

With a wide grin, Aunt Susan added, "This morning, the village hunting team just returned and brought over some snow rabbits. They look delicious!"

After saying that, she subtly smacked her lips, as if she was recalling the aroma of the snow rabbit she had cooked last time!

We dared not steal any food, but we could share what the lady couldn't finish. The food would spoil overnight, but the lady was kind-hearted and specifically instructed them to eat the rest!

Since the village of Hogsmeade began hunting, the surrounding wild animals have suffered, being targeted by these Grumans. Even large prey that they dared not touch before have not escaped their clutches because the village of Hogsmeade now acts collectively.

However, this led to a sharp decrease in the number of prey in the area. In order to obtain more prey, the village's hunting team actually went directly into the mountains.

However, they didn't go to the Black Mountain Village area, but to the Artua Ridge area. Snow rabbits are a specialty of the area near there. They can be found in other places, but they are not as plump and not as fragrant!

"No one's protesting, right?"

Tiffany gently opened the milk cap and began preparing to brew tea, casually asking, "..."

That wasn't the Wells family's fiefdom. To be honest, the villagers had indeed crossed the line, which would have been met with protests from the local nobles in the past!

"Hey, don't worry, those guys are all busy fighting for the baronial inheritance right now. Who dares to talk about the Wells family?"

Aunt Susan waved her hand dismissively, appearing both proud and disdainful.

Even the servants now know that despite the lively inheritance battle, they dare not provoke the Wells family!

Nodding, Tiffany stopped asking about it.

Brant-Artois was implicated in the incident outside Elfen and has been sentenced to death by the Duke of Marcus. A new baron has not yet been appointed, so there is no actual baron in the current territory of Artois!

According to Aunt Daisy, the current acting Earl Leonard has not yet decided on a candidate for Baron.

Brant happened to be childless, and his brothers were trying to curry favor with him, so how could he offend the Wells family?

Even if they didn't know that Lanny was about to become the Duke of the Kingdom, and they didn't know that Leonard's first stop after taking office was Caster Ridge?

Even if they don't know, there will always be knowledgeable people who will tell them.

After Susan put her things away and left, Candy looked worriedly at the study with the windows closed, thinking that the room would be filled with smoke once the stove was lit.

Upon noticing her actions, Tiffany realized that she seemed to have forgotten that this was not the place where she used to have afternoon tea, and the study did not seem suitable for lighting a stove!

"Open the doors and windows!"

After thinking for a moment, she gave the instructions to Candy.

I was just being a little willful this time, I don't think my husband will mind, right?

Thinking of Lanny, she couldn't help but feel worried and miss him!

I've been in the capital for over half a month now, and I wonder how things are going!

Judging from the timeline, they should be heading back soon, right?
