Chapter Twenty Two(1/2)

After understanding Ryan's hint, Emery left the lord's room, closed the door, and then put the bag containing the Lover Fruit seeds into a hidden underwear pocket.

Emerie stood outside the door in deep thought, thinking about how she should complete Ryan's mission. Fortunately, she quickly thought of a way, so she held the key firmly in her hand, but deliberately exposed the most shining tip of the key, and walked down slowly.

While going upstairs, Henry, who was coming up the stairs, met her seemingly by accident.

The status of the maid was lower than that of the butler. Emily deliberately looked a little panicked, placed her hands on her abdomen, and said with an uneasy smile: "Good afternoon, Butler Henry."

Henry raised the tip of his nose and glanced upstairs, with an extremely arrogant posture, and asked in a sinister manner: "I remember that the maid serving the lord today is not you Emily. What are you doing here if you don't go to work at this time?

?”

"Mr. Henry, I..."

Emily continued to pretend to be hesitant, not knowing how to answer, and at the same time she slowly wanted to hide her hands behind her back.

Moving his hand back, the light at the tip of the key shone brightly with the flames on the wall, attracting Henry's attention.

Henry lowered his head and looked at Emily's clasped palm. As he approached, he lowered his voice and threatened: "What is that thing you are holding in your hand? Tell me. If you don't tell me, I will have you picked up and handed over to me."

The escort conducts interrogation."

"Please don't."

Emily was immediately so 'scared' that she begged for mercy, stood there struggling for a few seconds, and finally looked at Henry with moist eyes that were about to shed tears and whispered: "There was a thief in the lord's room. When he went out to pursue the thief,

He gave me the key to my lord’s room and asked me to water the plants later.”

"Been robbed?"

Henry secretly muttered, "Why don't I know?" He didn't believe it, but seeing that the expression on Emily's face didn't seem to be fake, he said lightly: "What key? Show it to me?"

Emily pretended to hesitate, and Henry snorted loudly. Emily quickly opened her hands carefully, and there was a silver-gray key in her palm.

The silver-gray key shimmers with dreamy light, reflecting the sunlight shining through the cross window, making it look rare and precious.

With such a beautiful key, Henry didn't believe this simple statement from Emily, and he knew that the key to Ryan's room was not this one.

Henry didn't know what this key was used to open. He just glanced at the key and evil thoughts arose in his heart.

Henry paused for a second, then suddenly took a big step forward, grabbed the key hard in his hand, looked at Emily with contempt and mocked: "The key is here with me, how can you, a maid, be qualified to get it?"

Lord's key, I think you have a devil hiding in your heart, and you are wishing for a position that is impossible to obtain."

His words contained strong insults, and tears immediately flowed from Emily's eyes. She lowered her head and covered her face with her hands, not daring to let Henry see the expression on her face at this moment.

"If the lord asks, I think you should know how to answer."

Henry didn't feel that her tears were pitiful, but thought that he must have guessed Emily's little thoughts correctly.

Emily nodded while crying.

Henry raised the tip of his nose proudly and snorted softly, put the keys into the pocket on the inside of his clothes, and walked quickly upstairs at a pace that was not suitable for his body shape.

When Henry's figure disappeared, Emily did not completely relax her vigilance. She wiped the few tears that fell on her cheeks with her sleeve, pursed her lips and continued to fake cry. After making sure that no one was around, she secretly went to the back garden of Lane's castle.

"This is what the lord asked me to give you."

Emily handed the bag containing the love fruit seeds to Bart, and then took a different route back to where she worked today.

Bart and Suo re-cultivated new fields and planted the love fruit seeds brought by Emily. Ryan, who left the castle, paid remotely. The sunflower fairy appeared in the place where he disappeared yesterday, holding petal nectar in his hand and splashing it against the sun.

It produces a rain of life that nourishes plants.

After Ryan left the castle, he put on the mage hood kindly provided by the system and came to the richest place in Oran, the territory under his name.

Although it is said to be the richest place, it is actually not that rich.

Looking around, there are only a few sporadic equipment stores, dilapidated hotels and vendors on both sides forming a shopping street. There are more pubs and barbecue restaurants, followed by the only magic shop in Oran, which only sells some

Ordinary medicine.

Ryan lifted his hood and walked on the gravel streets, ignoring the vague glances of others. While communicating with the system, he comforted himself: "Maybe it's because of the daytime, people are busy working now."

"There may be a little more people at night, but it's not much better."

The system went back in history and told Ryan the real situation, "It has been nearly ten years since any traveling merchants came to Oran."

"How could this be? Is it so poor that people think there is no commercial value here?"

Ryan was not discouraged by the system's words, and silently thought in his heart, "When the love fruit matures, promote various products, and then boost the economy, it won't be long before we can attract the attention of businessmen from other places...right?"

He has to lead some people to become rich first.

System: "I hope so."

System: "I'll tell you a secret secretly. In fact, your people are not as poor as you think."

Ryan smiled and said, "Okay, I believe the secret you told me."

system:"……"

Just assume he believes it.

Ryan stood on the side of the road and looked around for a while, and finally walked into an adventurer's guild.

When Ryan opened the door, the president at the bar lazily raised his head. After seeing Ryan's outfit, he immediately stood up and asked uncertainly: "This respected...Mr. Magician?"

His tone was hesitant and uncertain, and several people standing in front of the commission board also turned their heads.

There has been no new magician in Oran for several years, and they were all a little surprised, but the robe and hood on Ryan's body were indeed clothes that only magicians could wear.

The Celestial Bird was hidden in Ryan's hood, and no one noticed for the time being that the magician in front of him was actually Lord Oran.

"Shh, don't make any noise."

Ryan lowered his voice and responded softly. He walked towards the president of the Adventurer's Guild and placed a silver coin on the bar. "I want to ask you about something."

Before he came in, he wanted to ask about buying a store, but after entering, Ryan realized that as a lord, he had the trading rights for all the land in Oran, but it didn't feel good to come in and go out immediately. Maybe he could just try it.

Get some useful news.

Henry got the key from Emily's hand. After going upstairs, he turned around and saw Emily walking away crying, and then walked straight towards the lord's room.

"Dear Lord?"

Slowly stopping outside Ryan's room, Henry raised his hand and knocked gently on the door, but no one responded for a long time.

"Lord Ryan?"

Henry increased his tone and tried to open the door, only to find that it was unlocked. He gently pushed the door open, and there was no one in the room, not even the bird that could only tame the flaming horse.

Henry thought about where Ryan had gone, and walked to the balcony with gentle steps. He looked out the window, lowered his head, and then discovered that the soil in the flower pot had signs of being turned over.

Henry, who was active in his mind, glanced at the door, then bent down and squatted on the ground, turning over the soil vigorously, but he didn't know that bad luck had already befallen him.

Ryan stood outside the door of the Adventurer's Guild, with a slightly subtle expression on his face. Henry used the name of the lord to collect a lot of inexplicable taxes, but none of these taxes were recorded in the accounts.

In addition, the president of the Adventurer's Guild seemed to be interested in getting close to Ryan, who was transformed into a magician. Using the silver coin as a reason, in addition to telling Ryan what he asked about, he also unintentionally told him some secrets about Henry and the former lord.

When Ryan walked out of the Adventurer's Guild, the members of the guild came over with some confusion and asked why the guild leader told a stranger so many secrets about Oran.

The president of the Adventurer's Guild looked at the guild door, and only after Ryan's figure disappeared did he speak: "Our new lord, he seems to be a magician as well."

Yes or no, it doesn't matter anyway.

They are adventurers, adventurers who call home anywhere.

After leaving the Adventurer's Guild, Ryan walked around for a long time and returned to the castle as the sun was setting. Instead of riding on the vines, he took off his hood and walked towards the door generously.

"Welcome back, respected Lord Ryan."

The soldiers on both sides held weapons and stood outside the door to welcome Ryan's return. There was some confusion in their eyes. No one knew when the lord left.

Chef Bunier has already prepared dinner. He has not yet learned how to cook. Dinner is still a variety of bacon and dry black bread.

Ryan had no appetite and simply ate some. Before he was about to return to the room, Ryan turned his head and looked at Henry who was waiting aside.

When Henry saw his lips parted slightly, his brows suddenly wrinkled. He panicked and mistakenly thought that what he had done during the day was discovered by Ryan, so he spoke first and asked: "Dear Lord Ryan, do you have anything to tell me?

Do it?”

He didn't dare to mention the theft, for fear that Ryan would ask him how he knew about it. Moreover, something was lost in the castle. This was his fault as a housekeeper. Henry kept the key in his arms, even if he wanted to mention it.

He doesn't want to be here either.

Ryan nodded, "Yes."

Finally, in Henry's nervous eyes, Ryan did not mention the key, but asked Henry to plan the place he visited during the day into a commercial street. In addition -

Ryan looked at Henry and said: "I want all of Oran's past bills, as well as the territory's planning map and title deed."

After hearing these little things, Henry's nervous mood immediately relaxed. He thought to himself that Emily might not be telling the truth.

Henry pretended to be a gentleman and bowed his head, "Dear Lord, I will send the bill to your room later."

Ryan said hello, turned around and left the dining room, and returned to his bedroom in a leisurely manner.

When Ryan returned to the bedroom, he found that the soil on the surface of the flower pot by the window had been refilled. After hanging up his coat, Ryan stood by the window, and the system told him in his mind everything that had happened in the castle since he left.

A soft breeze blows in from the cross-colored window, and the room is lit with magic lights.

Ryan looked out the window at the sudden boundless night and the crimson sunset. The double moon of gold and red descended with the stars. He couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of the world. He seemed to be able to hear nightingales singing faintly in the distance.

After eating, the Tian Mianniao returned to his nest to rest. Soon there was a knock on the door from Henry, and at the same time he was heard saying: "Dear Lord, I have brought Oran as you ordered.
