Rise of the Plants

Not long after walking out, Numisi found herself: "Chinan, what happened? Why did the dean ask you to come over? He didn't make things difficult for you." Numisi looked at Chi Nan nervously.

Chi Nan felt warm in his heart, did anyone still care about him? "Don't worry, it's nothing. It's just a few kids messing around. It will be solved in a few days." Chi Nan still looked careless.

Before Numisi could continue asking, she suddenly heard a student not far away saying loudly: "Look, everyone, this is the solution to the fight among the guards. It turns out that it was caused by Earl Chinan. In three days, their guards will Compete in the arena and resolve this matter by winning or losing, and it will never happen again."

"Look, that's the reason for this incident. You don't need me to tell you, you can figure it out yourself."

The academy is moving really fast, I'm afraid it has already been prepared. Looking at a huge spar slab in the distance with densely written writing on it, Chi Nan felt like he was being plotted against.

This spar plate is similar to a screen and can display some information, but the picture is not as colorful. Under normal circumstances, some important things are expressed in words.

"How could this happen? Four hundred against one hundred, this is too unfair." Numisi began to complain.

"It's nothing. It's just one against four. It's just some trash. What else are you afraid of?" Chi Nan still looked unconcerned.

Numisi sighed: "You'd better prepare yourself, I'm worried that someone will be behind this matter."

At this time, some students shouted loudly: "How could this happen? Gambling is prohibited, and outsiders are not allowed to watch. How can this be done? This is such a rare duel."

A young noble next to him had a sneer on his face: "The academy must not want this matter to continue to expand and wants to stop it. However, it is good to take a look. Maybe it will be helpful to our battle."

Chi Nan spread his hands: "You heard it, there won't be any big problem."

Numisi glanced at Chi Nan angrily: "No matter what, you still have to be well prepared. If you lose this time, I'm afraid you will be laughed at in the academy and aristocratic circles in the future. Don't say so much, Go back quickly." Numisi pulled Chi Nan and walked towards the outside of the college. Uncommonly, Numisi also skipped class.

Chi Nan smiled and followed back indifferently. But when Chi Nan returned to his yard, he found that his servants looked a little nervous, and the atmosphere in his yard was also a little strange.

"What happened? Why are you always like this?" Chi Nan asked strangely.

A guard who did not go out at home quickly ran over: "Lord, please see, here and here. These traces show that someone came to our yard secretly today, and I don't know what they want to do."

Chi Nan walked over and took a look. Sure enough, there was a very light footprint on the wall, and there were also some very strange footprints in his own home. On a clean floor, these few footprints are very conspicuous.

"The servants found it when they came here to clean today. According to the rules of our house, shoes with mud on them are not allowed to come in. Only you, the lord, can make an exception." These footprints were obvious and were not left by Chi Nan. "Moreover, there are traces of being rummaged through the house, and the whole process was not discovered by us. Lord, please forgive me."

Looking at the guards who looked guilty, Chi Nan said calmly: "It doesn't matter, there is nothing important at home anyway. Besides, if he can hide it from you and not be discovered, this person is definitely not simple. But, these traces... …”

Konoe immediately said: "I didn't leave it intentionally. Although the person who came here was able to hide it from us, he definitely didn't have much time to clean up the traces, so he left these."

The guards are also relatively confident in their own strength and professional level. It's not easy to sneak in under his own protection, but to clean up the traces he left behind, that's really awesome.

"Is there something missing at home?" Chi Nan frowned and asked suddenly.

"No, we checked, and nothing is missing. However, their main search area is not only the inside of the home, but also the backyard."

"The backyard, that means they came for our plants. Speaking of which, after such a long time, our caravan from Hongshaling has also arrived." Chi Nan seemed to understand the intentions of those people.

"We have arrived, but because there are relatively few goods, the price of the original forest scent has not been reduced. Instead, the prices of other half-elves have been increased several times. And this is the letter sent today."

Konoe delivered a letter, and Chi Nan took it and opened it: "So, is this another request for a price increase?"

Chi Nan looked at the letter and found out that many goods from the territory were asking for price increases again. Because the prices in the black market are rising higher and higher, if they continue to insist on such low prices, they will not only lose a lot of profits, but also make many nobles dissatisfied. On the contrary, price increases are actually a good thing.

Thinking of this, Chi Nan said: "In that case, let them increase the price. I didn't expect that they would not be willing to sell it to them cheaply."

Anyway, the strength of my territory is already pretty good now, so it doesn't matter even if it makes people jealous. The guards quickly recorded it. These guards were not only doing protection work, but also doing various other tasks.

"But speaking of it, there are many nobles who want my things, but who would do such a thing secretly? Does anyone think that I still have a lot of forest atmosphere left here?"

Suddenly, Chi Nan raised his head and said, "So, have there been any strange things happening recently? I'm talking about things at the department store." Since opening the store, he hasn't been there for a long time.

The guard was a little hesitant, and Carol came over at some point. "Sir Qi, if you talk about strange things, I actually found one. I didn't think it was strange before, but then I thought about it and felt there was something wrong. So I asked someone to investigate it, and I already have some clues."

"Really? What is it? I want to see what they want. If they don't cooperate with me, they just know how to rob it. They are really a group of reckless barbarians who think they are good people with noble moral character."

Carol quickly lowered her head as if she didn't hear this. The other guards had dispersed the nearby servants.
