Farming in the Magical World

The early morning at Castel Ridge is peaceful and serene!

Before dawn, a sleepy-eyed Lanny went to the study.

In this primitive world, there is little entertainment at night, so going to bed early naturally leads to waking up early, and his insomnia was cured without any medicine!

Although Melissa mentioned a magically immune constitution, he only noticed the first two words—"suspected."

This is still uncertain!

In fact, he felt that even if the other party hadn't added those two words, he would never have given up so easily!

Even if he can't sense magical elements in the end, he still has his bloodline to activate, right?

Splash...

The study door was pushed open again, and Melissa, with her arms crossed, appeared in the doorway!

"Hey, so early? Still haven't given up?"

She looked at Lanny with a half-smile, joking as she spoke, but in her heart, she admired the young nobleman's persistence.

They all know that the chances of becoming a magician are extremely slim, but they still persist like this, which is truly admirable!

Although magicians sound impressive and possess all sorts of incredible abilities, to become a good magician, one must first have a heart that never gives up easily.

You should know that magicians accumulate their magic power little by little through meditation!

If you can't persevere, even if you achieve something, your ceiling is limited, and you can't go any higher!

Seeing that the other party was ignoring her, Melissa got a little bored and went to sit down behind the desk!

She didn't touch anything in the drawer; she still knew basic manners!

But it should be fine if it's on the table, right?

She glanced casually at the things on the table, and suddenly became interested in a stack of parchment.

She glanced at Lanny, who was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, engrossed in meditation, and casually picked up the parchment. "Snow White, Cinderella, the Sword of the Warrior...?"

Looking at these unfamiliar names, she tilted her head in confusion... ...Strange tales? History?

She had read books about strange tales and anecdotes before, but not many!

Firstly, she was actually quite busy, with endless magic experiments and meditation practices every day. For her, watching these things was simply a waste of her life!

Secondly, parchment was still too expensive, and no one was willing to use it to copy such trivial things. It was mostly used to record family history, kingdom history, or magical knowledge.

Only Lanny, this minor nobleman, had the audacity to disregard the precious parchment and use it to record such useless things.

I thought they were just some boring little stories, but I was so engrossed in them that I completely forgot I was still in Lanny's study!

Her mother was not a stepmother, and she was very favored by her family and father. You could even say that she was the glory of the family. So she naturally had no sympathy for the Cinderella and Snow White stories!

But when the Hero's Sword was opened, she felt something different!

The story wasn't complicated, and there were no conspiracies or tricks, but this type of story, which she had never seen before, was very novel to her!

As the story unfolded and the plot progressed, she was quickly captivated by the tale of Sofia and Arthur.

After all, which girl throughout history hasn't longed for a beautiful love?

She simply didn't have time to experience love before, which doesn't mean she didn't yearn for beautiful love.

As the story reaches its climax, Sofia and Arthur fall off a cliff together, and Melissa is moved to tears by their love.

But when she turned to the last page, she found that it was not finished, but stopped abruptly halfway through writing.

What about below?

That's it?

This little rascal, why did it suddenly stop here? What's going on here that leaves us stuck in this awkward situation?

That's outrageous! If she could use magic, she would definitely show the other party the power of her fireball!

"What happened next? What happened to Arthur and Sophia?"

Lanny was completely bewildered when he was suddenly pulled up as soon as he opened his eyes!

After a long while, Lanny finally understood what the other person was talking about. He slapped his forehead and looked up at the sky, somewhat speechless.

Big sister, you're a great magician, a noble great magician, how could a novel make you like this?

"Parchment is very expensive, you know?"

"Besides, writing stories isn't like eating or drinking, something you can just do whenever you want. Writing stories requires inspiration, inspiration, do you understand?"

Seeing Melissa's eagerness, Lanny's eyes lit up. "How about you get the papers out sooner, and I'll finish as quickly as possible?"

Since you like storybooks, that makes things easier!

By linking papermaking to the ending of this story, I bet you won't work harder!

"It's a deal then. I promise I'll get it done for you within two days. You'd better hurry!"

Melissa, full of confidence, never considered that Lenny might simply not have time to write, rather than being distressed about the parchment.

Seeing Melissa's tearful smile, Lanny, who was itching to make a move, suppressed his emotions and nodded.

"So, it's settled then?"

"certainly... ..."

Don't let her intense reading in the study fool you; in front of others, Melissa is a goddess!

Before entering the hall, Melissa rubbed her face and smoothed her hair. When she raised her head again, she had regained her mature and sophisticated style!

"hehe... ..."

Finding it amusing, he had just let out a soft chuckle when her murderous gaze turned towards him!

"Sister, are you hungry? Dinner will be served soon. Today's breakfast is very plentiful! Come, come, sit over here, let's sit together and chat."

As soon as she entered the hall, Tiffany, who had been waiting for a long time, got up, walked over affectionately, and took her arm!

Melissa was taken aback by this unexpected enthusiasm, as it was clearly different from what she had expected!

"Ah... ...hello little sister..."

Lannister had no time to pay attention to the interaction between the two women. He took his seat in the main seat and waved his hand dismissively.

Let's begin...

He has a lot to do today, so he doesn't have time to worry about these things. He needs to keep an eye on the guard camp, and he can't slack off on recruitment either. He's very busy!

"Young master, your breakfast."

The little maid seemed a bit excited today, but she pretended to be calm as she carried the tray over!

Wait, why isn't it Frank?

Looking around, Lanny did not find the old butler in the hall.

This is a bit strange. Since he came into this world, Frank has always prepared his meals, but he didn't show up today.

Could it be that something has happened?

Thinking about how the other person looked last night, he was also a little worried!

Where is Frank?

"Young master, is it because I didn't serve you well?" The little maid bit her lip, looking somewhat aggrieved!

"Nowhere is there!"

Seeing her aggrieved look, Lenny said helplessly, "I was just worried that something might have happened to Frank!"

Seeing that it wasn't her service that was the problem, Candy suddenly burst into laughter through her tears, "The butler is fine, young master, don't worry!"

After a pause, she leaned closer mysteriously and began to tell me the gossip she had overheard!

"I heard the butler left early this morning. Young master, can you guess what he went to do?"

"Where did you go?"

Suppressing a laugh, Lenny said in a serious tone!

"Of course we went after Granny Mei! I heard that Granny Mei suddenly wanted to go back to Black Mountain Village last night, and we couldn't persuade her no matter what we did!"

"I heard that when the steward came back, he looked very unwell. He said that Granny Mei had been killed by bandits."

At this point, a look of worry appeared on the maid's face. "Young master, are there really bandits nearby?"

"There should be... there should be!"

Feeling somewhat apologetic, Klani nodded nonetheless.

Since it was something that had been agreed upon beforehand, he naturally couldn't disrupt the overall plan just for a little maid!

"Then... Grandma Mei really isn't coming back? Her clothes are still in the room!"

When the maid mentioned that Granny Mei had been murdered, a look of sadness appeared on her face.

In the castle, she was the one who talked the most with Granny Mei. Although she did most of the talking while the other girl just listened, the little maid also regarded Granny Mei as a friend.

"Oh, is that so?"

Lanny looked regretful, but secretly found it amusing. This little maid probably would never have guessed that the person sitting leisurely opposite her was none other than her Granny Mei.

He sighed, forcing out a hint of regret, "Grandma Mei did suddenly want to go back last night, and I asked Frank to chase after her and bring her back. I just didn't expect that... By the way, where is the housekeeper?"

"At the camp, they said they were helping Lord Tim with the recruitment, so they sent me to serve the young master his meals!"

As Candy spoke, her gaze drifted to Melissa across from her. She was still quite curious about the sudden addition of another person to the table.

Seeing the look in her eyes, Lanny seized the opportunity to explain, "This is my distant cousin, Melissa Wells. It's probably because she also knows how to make paper that Grandma Melissa misunderstood that I don't need her anymore!"

After saying that, Lanny spread his hands, looking regretful. "Oh, Granny Mei misunderstood me!"

"But"

Looking at Melissa, Candy's eyes were full of confusion. "Why does she look so familiar?"

Lanny was startled when she heard this, wondering if she had figured it out.

Unexpectedly, the little maid shook her head again, saying, "I would never forget such a beautiful older sister. You must be mistaken."

Looking into Candy's innocent eyes, Lenny really couldn't bear to lie to her, so he lowered his head and avoided her gaze!

"Hmm, you must have mistaken me for someone else. My cousin just came from the Kingdom of Cyoria, how could you possibly have seen her before? Hurry up and deliver the food. By the way, is there enough breakfast?"

"That's enough. The housekeeper told us this morning that we made breakfast for one extra person today."

Hearing the young master's slightly serious words, Candy stuck out her tongue, picked up her plate, and walked towards Tiffany and Melissa across from her.

Lanny thought that Granny Mei's departure would cause some ripples, after all, a living person suddenly disappearing without a trace would inevitably attract attention.

But to his surprise, Melissa's appearance sparked a lot of discussion, while almost no one talked about Granny Melissa's disappearance.

This is not surprising, though. Although both names have the sound of "Mei," they are completely unrelated in Andrew English!

Besides, one is clearly a noblewoman, while the other is an old woman from a mountain village. Who could possibly connect the two?

It's not entirely accurate to say that nobody talks about it at all; that doesn't include the castle's maid, Candy.

After serving the three of them their meal, Lanny went to the guard camp to check on the new round of guard recruitment. Tiffany also returned to the second floor. The newcomer, Melissa, surprisingly didn't mind at all and went straight into Granny Melissa's room on the first floor.

Seeing this, Candy, who was clearing away the dishes, felt strange, with a peculiar sense of being taken over and acting self-righteous.

After clearing away the dishes, Candy pushed the food cart into the kitchen and could hear Susan's very distinctive soprano voice from afar.

"Nina, hurry up, hurry up! These things have to be finished today, you hear me?"

"Melinda, oh my god, this isn't laundry, it's food cleaning! We have to be careful, careful!"

At this moment, the kitchen was a scene of bustling activity.

"Candy, I heard that a young master's cousin came today. Did you see her?" While busy with her work, Nina turned around and chatted with Candy about gossip.

Upon hearing Nina's words, Melinda, who was standing next to her, also cast a curious glance, and even Susan, who had been speaking loudly the whole time, shut her mouth.

"I see!"

Candy didn't know how she felt, but she felt that her tone might not have been very good!

"How is she? Isn't she beautiful? The butler said she's from the Kingdom of Cyria. Is she like the people here?"

"Yes, isn't it similar to ours?"

When Candy mentioned seeing the new lady, everyone became interested and immediately gathered around, speculating and even temporarily stopping what they were doing.

Susan, however, couldn't put down her spatula. While stirring the soup in the pot, she craned her neck to listen carefully to what was happening.

"Beautiful, black hair, willow-leaf eyebrows, and long legs!"

"Oh, Candy, how could you do this? Tell me in detail!"

"Yes, what's his personality like? How old is he? Most importantly, is he easy to get along with? This is someone we'll be serving in the future, so we have to find out!"

Candy's explanation was so simple that it naturally failed to satisfy everyone's gossipy nature.

Melinda, being more observant, noticed Candy's listless expression and, somewhat puzzled, touched Candy's forehead. "What's wrong, little girl? Are you sick?"

Shaking her head, Candy tossed the last utensil into the sink, then turned around and looked at everyone with a hint of anger. "Why didn't any of you ask Grandma Mei?"

"I heard she's been murdered. Aren't you all concerned?"

Hearing Candy's accusations, Susan and Nina were both annoyed and turned away to get back to what they were doing.

Seeing the little girl's eyes redden with sadness, Melinda couldn't bear it. She wiped the water off her hands, walked over, and gently hugged her. "Silly child, we haven't had much contact with Grandma Mei, so naturally we don't feel anything!"

"To us, he was a complete stranger!"

"Besides, that's just how the world is. You've always been in the castle, so it's not surprising that you don't understand these things!"

"Child, the lives of ordinary people are worthless!"

"Didn't the housekeeper say that even the young master tried to stop her, but she insisted on leaving? Since she was determined to leave, it's her choice if something happens. The young master has already done very well!"

Even though she had a vague feeling about it, the little maid was still somewhat speechless as this bloody side was presented to her so directly for the first time.

"I, I, I'm not blaming the young master, I'm just a little sad, a little sad for Granny Mei!"
