Town continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, run around the town three times, no one eats unless they finish!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Durant’s gaze was sharp, his voice stern, \"No one is allowed to fall behind, or you’ll lift the stone block a hundred times!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell, the soldiers behind hurriedly sped up, not daring to slack off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a joke, lifting a fifty-pound stone block dozens of times is fine, but a hundred times would ruin your arms!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet no one dared to question the truth of Durant’s words, or they’d receive a bloody lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Guards ran with the new recruits, while Durant stood at the town gate waiting, a simple wooden hourglass placed on the table beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the recruits were overtime, there would be extra training as punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Durant wouldn’t be lenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, Durant’s strictness was effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than two weeks, the new recruits already possessed a resolute aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Lord has returned!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Durant was pondering which of the excellent ones among the recruits would be suitable as a leader, the guard in the watchtower shouted out to report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Durant stepped out of the gate and indeed saw the merchant convoy slowly approaching in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood to one side of the gate, bowing as Luo De arrived before him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome home, Lord Baron.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De nodded with a smile in response, then said, \"Send someone to take them to the inn, and have Lawrence handle the reception of the caravan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frost Leaf Town now had an inn specifically for receiving caravans, mainly managed by Lawrence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It offered accommodation and meals for thirty people, with a daily fee of only five Silver Coins, very reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go back to rest first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weather in the Northern Territory in June wasn’t warm enough for an outdoor bath, and covered in dirt from the wilderness, Luo De rushed back for a good soak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, my Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Durant replied, standing at the gate watching the convoy enter the town silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slightly familiar figure suddenly caught his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Durant frowned slightly but quickly returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t raise any alarms, waiting until after the convoy left, Durant handed over the recruit team to his deputy and swiftly caught up with Luo De.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De stopped, \"Something to report?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, do you remember the Spellcaster I mentioned to you when I returned from the city last time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De knew Durant wouldn’t raise issues without reason, recalling it and nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Durant said seriously, \"The woman who plays with fire is in the caravan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to what you said last time, wasn’t she supposed to be in the theater troupe?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De squinted, pondering for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes in a theatre troupe, other times in a caravan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indicates that this woman is not solely a performer of tricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not making a living from it, yet performing anytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The possibility that this woman is a Spellcaster is rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why is this woman here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep an eye on her, if she doesn’t cause trouble, leave her be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spellcasters are too mysterious, they also have some strange underground organizations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If unnecessary, Luo De wouldn’t easily oppose them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet if this Spellcaster dared to cause a scene here, she wouldn’t be let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After instructing Durant, Luo De also tasked Lawrence with investigating the girl’s identity and her relationship with the caravan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lawrence readily agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, under the guise of reception, Lawrence had dinner with Simon and inquired about all the women in the caravan, using the pretext of needing a companion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simon wasn’t suspicious at all, thinking Lawrence wanted to buy slaves, so he seriously introduced the female slave information from the caravan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he eventually introduced the information on the female Spellcaster Luo De needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her name is Linda, and along with Lusen, they do not belong to this caravan. They met midway and wanted to travel with Simon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lawrence reported all the findings to Luo De after returning to the manor hall,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because Lusen helped Simon catch the person who stole the money pouch, Simon decided to keep them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what are these two doing in the Northern Wilderness?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning against the chair back, Luo De asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They said they wanted to perform magic tricks at Eagle Ridge to earn money, but due to the war there, they didn’t dare go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lawrence said, \"These two didn’t want to come to the Northern Territory, but ended up with Simon because they got lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back with Simon, Luo De had already learned that the Hawk Count and another Viscount had a territorial dispute there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the information known now, it seemed to fit the identity of wandering performers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it couldn’t hurt to be cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the report, Luo De shifted his gaze to Durant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He trusted this Knight’s judgment more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Durant sensed Luo De’s meaning but still firmly said, \"I believe we should pay attention to them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, then proceed according to the original plan, keep an eye on Linda and Lusen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De’s original intention in tasking Lawrence with gathering information was to understand Linda’s relationship with the caravan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with no relationship, Luo De could drive a hard bargain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De immediately instructed Laurend to arrange a meeting with Simon the next morning to discuss slave trade affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep into the night, stars and moon dim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two figures, under the cover of darkness, stealthily approached Winter Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inside here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda felt the vibration of the gem in her hand, saying excitedly, \"It’s inside here! The sage’s detection power can’t be wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lusen hurriedly covered Linda’s mouth, nervously reminding her, \"Keep your voice down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda nodded quickly, while Lusen turned his head, carefully observing around, muttering to himself after confirming they weren’t discovered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the Lord Manor, can that Baron tolerate a witch’s presence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe he doesn’t know at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda said, her gaze suddenly fierce, \"Or maybe he’s like some perverted nobles, loving to toy with witches!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calm down, calm down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lusen quickly tugged at Linda, preventing the witch from going berserk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Sage said not to conflict with the Broken Rock Empire, as they are our aid against those zealots in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda nodded, then asked, \"So how do we get in? Do you have a way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lusen pulled out two small wooden jars, slightly bigger than a thumb, from his pocket,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadow Potion, drink it, and it’ll let us blend into the shadows, but don’t attract attention, or you’ll be discovered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two drank the potion, their figures gradually melding into the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda, clumsy in movement, managed to awkwardly scale the manor fence with Lusen’s help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lusen, on the other hand, showed apparent training, nimbly climbing over the fence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, the manor had only four Guards, stationed at the manor gate and at the center wooden house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two wandered in the darkness for a while, then found the room where the Detection Gem reacted most strongly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lights were already out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lusen wanted to push the door open but was stopped by Linda’s outstretched hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a girl’s room, best not to enter without permission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lusen pouted, retreating into the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda turned, very cautiously pushed open the wooden door, and stealthily slipped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes quickly scanned the room, finding the direction of the bedroom, and entered to see the girl lying on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda, feeling the Gem in her hand throbbing like a heartbeat, was thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undoubtedly, before her was Avril.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda carefully placed her hand on Avril’s mouth, pushing the sleeping girl down while covering her mouth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avril was instantly awake, struggling hard to break free!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m Witch Linda from the Dawn Society, I’ve come to rescue you, don’t make a sound!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not here to hurt you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t scream, and I’ll let you go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you agree, nod your head!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda watched Avril nervously, who hesitated for a moment before nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda tentatively released her grip, finding Avril indeed didn’t shout, then completely let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, pack up valuables and come with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda urged in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Avril leisurely rose, grabbing a coat to drape over herself, lighting the oil lamp on the table unhurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pitch-black bedroom was instantly lit up, revealing a female Hunter’s figure in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda froze in an instant, not daring to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because an arrowhead, gleaming with a cold light, was already aimed at her.\u003C\u002Fp>",1431,"2026-05-30T15:19:44.915Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","fab53e5192dce2e75a6b0e0186ee1afda9913a20ada609d954c0611de8996772","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-49","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-47",776,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffarming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-cover.jpg"]
