Chapter 52

The troublesome things on the Baron Keane Hill, which had happened because of the harvest, had finally ended.

About a month later, another messenger of the Grand Duke of Thunder came to Keane City from the capital. The strength of this high-level knight was powerful, so naturally, Crick and his men couldn't strike a heavy blow at him secretly. He also had a high-level mage with him. However, no matter how strong they were, Crick always replied with the same words. "As a reward for receiving protection, I sold the crops to the Church of Void Mask."

The messenger did not believe this reply at first, but they couldn't find the large number of crops that should be piled up after searching for it again and again. And the results of lie-detecting spells also proved that the crops were no longer at Keane Hill. So they had to give up and sneak away.
