How can we effectively neutralize the author’s source of power?

According to what I additionally heard from Diane after that, it appears that the seeds of the plants used as raw materials for the medicinal drug were directly managed by this family.

The count’s family does not directly manage the seeds. It is a crop that should not be grown in the first place. Wouldn’t it be a big deal if a problem arises if you keep the seeds yourself?

And from Lee Geon-nam’s point of view, it was also a good thing. Whatever the reason, it was an opportunity to monopolize the seeds themselves. Since they could monopolize profits, it was a win-win situation.

There is no need to make too large a quantity. There are very few nobles who use such medicine directly anyway, and the quantity must be controlled to sell a small quantity at a high price. If the tail is long, you will be caught. Baron Gavin grew his business indefinitely for no reason, and then he I knew it would be dangerous.

To sum up, if the seed storage room inside the writer Gavin Nam is robbed and the field of plants is made unusable, the writer Gavin Nam will suffer a severe blow.

And in the process, it would be better if it was discovered that author Gavin Nam was cultivating something like that.

“… … So you’re saying let’s set fire to the forest?”

My brother was scared when he heard what I said.

“ Setting a fire in the field is the Baron’s personal problem, but setting a fire in the forest is also a problem for the nearby nobles. The fire may spread to their own territory. I’m sure the surrounding territories will also come forward to help. But Gavin. The Baron will probably refuse. Even if he receives the report, he is in the royal capital right now.”

Although the border between the Barony of Gavin and the Earl of Hoover is adjacent, the forest where Baron Gavin’s field is located is on the exact opposite side.

It was a flat land overall, and the forest itself was vast, but it was a forest located only within Baron Gebin. If it had been connected to another territory, Baron Gevin would not have been able to create a field here.

As it is strictly private land, other people are prohibited from entering it. Of course, the forest is not several tens of pyeong in size, so it is not possible to manage the entire border with the baron’s troops alone, but from their perspective, they only have to manage the area around the field. Thanks to that, they are quite far into the forest. It came in easily.

However, at the same time, the border between the territories is formed along the stream that flows through the forest. Once a fire breaks out, you will have to come and check it out, and since it is a neighboring territory, they may come forward to help.

Even in such a situation, if the author refuses help, public opinion will naturally be suspicious.

I took out a pocket from my arms. I could hear the sound of glass beads colliding inside.

A crystal ball that seals magic.

I took some of the items in the mansion and sealed them with Amelia’s magic. It wasn’t enough to start a big fire, but it was enough to light a lighter-sized fire for about an hour.

“If the fire gets bigger, people from Yeongju Castle will come out to put it out, so they plan to rob the castle during that time.”

“That’s right.”

… … The surrounding area has already been cleaned up.

There were a few people who stood guard, but none of them could deal with the real people of Delkish.

They put a flat stone on the tip of an arrow and hit it in the head to stun them, and some of them sneaked up behind them and strangled them. The security forces’ skills were poor, as if someone had not thought of attacking this place. They were just dozing off in the open. It was the head of the household.

They’re peace-loving southerners, right?

“Then shall we begin?”

At my brother’s words, I nodded and moved on.

The harvest season is still far away, so most of the plants planted in the field have not yet grown. Still, it is fortunate that the stems have grown in their own way. Plants that have already grown cannot be used as seeds again.

Moreover, the fact that the harvest season is far away means that the seeds have not been recovered.

I went around those fields and worked hard to make fires. My brother did the same.

The plant caught fire better than expected. Could it be a plant that grows in dry areas? Well, seeing as it can grow in the dry climate of the Alwen Kingdom, it seems like that.

After setting fire to the field, they ran to the border of the forest carrying the security forces and set them down. There were about 15 of them. Since the field was not intended for a large-scale plantation, that number would have been sufficient.

Then he returned to the field again, and this time set fire to the trees surrounding the burning field.

The tree itself was quite far away from the field. If it was too close, the field would not receive sunlight. Well, even if that were the case, the field had already been meticulously set on fire, so there would be very few plants that would survive.

To leave the light on for so long—

Clink ding ding ding—!

I heard a bell ringing loudly in the distance.

“It seems like he noticed it.”

“Then shall we move too?”

At my words, my brother nodded.

*

“Gwaung, grunt, grunt.”

“Child, you are good.”

“… … Elsie, how long are you going to be like that?”

“Just a little more.”

drug… … Would you say that? It’s a weak drug, but I’m not sure if it’s addictive. In the first place, it’s an item sold only among people who know each other. It may be a market that is a great help in running the Baron’s camp, but in fact, it won’t be that great of a profit in the Baron’s eyes.

Because the market is so small.

The reason the count family holds the male writer in their hands is not because of money, but rather because they saw the influence that could be had on society by using the medicine and, of course, the poison administered by the male writer.

Although it may no longer exist.

Anyway, let’s say it’s a ‘drug’ or something similar to a drug. The Baron was raising several extremely vicious dogs, as if he were a real drug dealer.

When I saw the fire, I thought it was someone’s artificial fire, so I let my dog loose…

“Grunt!”

Wow, the opponent was not good.

“Okay, shall we go then, guys?”

The hunting dogs ran towards us almost immediately, perhaps because they smelled an unfamiliar person or a burnt smell, but they all quickly became friends with me.

These dogs were covered in scars because they had been treated harshly for training.

I didn’t raise a wolf like this either.

When I stopped stroking and stood up, the children stood up with their front paws as if asking for more stroking.

“Elsie, if you don’t go now—”

“It’s over there! I heard a dog barking over there!”

“—I tried to get caught.”

That’s right.

Did I waste too much time?

Well, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a chance.

“Guys—”

I called quietly to the children I was petting.

The children’s ears perked up.

“Go and ask.”

When I said that while stroking the children with my glowing green hands, the children’s eyes widened for a moment and they immediately turned around.

“Kkkk!”

And then it barked loudly and shot out.

“… … .”

My brother seemed to be at a loss for words for a moment when he saw me like that.

“Why do you feel like you have become more proficient at using your abilities?”

To my brother who said that, I shrugged my shoulders.

*

Bah!

“Wow!”

It was similar in shape to an arrow with a sucker that children shoot, but if the ‘sucker’ at the end was made of a well-cut stone, how would it react when it hit the head?

Well, there’s no time to react. Usually, you’re either in a lot of pain or you lose consciousness.

There is no way you will die. My brother and I both know how to control that level of strength.

“What kind of guy is this!”

When the colleague next to me collapsed, she turned this way and ran towards the grass where I was.

puck!

“Keuok.”

My foot was stuck in the stomach.

And when I hit the top of my head with my elbow, I fainted.

Since I had a mask on my face, there was no way I would be caught.

I thought it would be a good idea to kill them from the beginning, but it seems that it would be difficult to kill citizens of the same kingdom. We want Baron to fall, not war.

No matter how justified you are, if you cross the line, you may face backlash if you are caught later.

“Going in alone… … .”

“You are in trouble because of your size.”

Even so, it would be difficult to get caught right away.

“So… … .”

“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything big on my own. I’ve already robbed the information guild.”

If you’re a sword master, I can deal with you. Well, if I can’t decide, I’ll call my brother.

“Then, I’ll come back.”

I entered the castle, waving my hands.

“Kung!”

Of course, with the dogs I quickly became friends with.

*

Was our mansion this splendid?

The mansion I shared with Elsie seemed to be much quieter than usual. If you look closely, a few more candles were placed and more lights were added to the chandelier, but it looked bright and fancy.

Does this mean that it is indeed the grand duke’s mansion?

“Ho. So does this mean that you two are also disciples of the Lady of Delkisi?”

“It’s not something to call it that grandiose, though.”

Adele rolled her eyes as if she was embarrassed at the prince’s words.

“Now that I think about it, I don’t know if Lady Delkisi’s swordsmanship skills have improved since then. My swordsmanship has definitely improved.”

The crown prince turned his gaze towards me and asked.

“I learned all kinds of sword skills from all kinds of swordsmanship teachers. Although I couldn’t teach them all for a long time.”

“That’s right. There is no one other than the Delkisi people who can properly teach the people of Delkisi.”

The crown prince laughed.

“Because the basic talent and physical strength are different in the first place.”

“Is the family called Delkisi that kind of family?”

The Crown Prince nodded at Diane’s words.

“They may be able to live with much greater power if they wanted to. They are just satisfied with a simple life. Maybe they think that since they have that kind of power, they don’t need to have it anymore.”

“… … .”

“Oops, did I go too far? It’s just my personal opinion, so you don’t have to worry too much. Does Lady Delkysh suddenly look like someone who would betray the kingdom?”

“No, that’s absolutely not the case.”

Adele answered powerfully, and light laughter spread among the group—

“Daughter Carlins.”

And then, people appeared that immediately broke the warm atmosphere.

“And—the Crown Prince… … Wow, so many noble people have gathered here.”

“Um?You?”

“This is Baron Gavin. And this boy next to me is my only son, Johnny. I came to say hello to the Archduchess and Lady Huber who invited me, but I never thought I would encounter such luck.”

To be honest, I didn’t want to invite you.

Elsie is doing well, right?
