Mr. Krypton
Section 22

After understanding Ryan's instructions, Emily leaves her master's room, closes the door, and puts the bag containing the Lover Fruit seeds into a hidden underwear pocket.

Emily stands outside the door thinking hard, thinking about how she should complete Ryan's mission.

Fortunately he quickly thought of a way, so he held the key firmly in his hand, but deliberately exposed the most shining end of the key, and walked down slowly. As he climbed to the top, Henry who climbed to the top seemed to have accidentally met him.

Emily deliberately looked a little panicked, put her hand on her stomach and said with a restless smile: "Good day, Butler Henry."

Henry lifted the tip of his nose and looked up, with a very arrogant posture and asked in a cynical tone: "I remember that the servant who serves the master today is not you. What are you doing here?"

"Mr Henry, I..."

Emily kept pretending to be hesitant, not knowing what to answer, and at the same time she slowly pretended to want to hide her hands behind her back.

Moving his hands back, the lamp at the end of the lock shone brightly, 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 hold in your hand? Tell me. If you don't tell me, I'll ask the Guards to interrogate you."

"Please don't."

Emily was so 'fear' that she begged for mercy, and finally looked at Henry with tears in her eyes: "There is a thief in the master's room. Master gave me the keys to his room and asked me to water the plants in his room later."

"Have been robbed?"

Henry quietly muttered, “Why don't I know?"

She didn't believe it, but seeing Emily's facial expression didn't look fake she said lightly: "What key? Show me?"

Emily pretended to be hesitant, Henry snorted heavily, and Emily immediately opened her hand carefully exposing the silver-gray key in her palm.

The silver grey lock sparkled with a splendid light, reflecting the sunlight that shone on the transverse window, making it look rare and precious.

With such a beautiful key, Henry distrusts Emily's simple words, and he knows that Ryan's room key is not this one.

Henry had no idea what this key was used to unlock, He only caught a glimpse of that key and an evil thought appeared in his heart.

Henry paused for a moment, then suddenly took a big step forward, grabbed the key hard and looked at Emily with disdain: "I will hold the key, I will hold the key, how do you ordinary servants qualify to hold it?"

His words contained harsh insults, and tears instantly flowed from Emily's eyes, he lowered his head not daring to let Henry see his current facial expression.

“If Mister asks, I think you should know how to answer him.”

Henry felt no pity for his tears.

Emily nodded while crying.

Henry lifted his nose proudly and put the key into his inner pocket, and walked quickly upwards at a speed that did not match his body shape.

When Henry's figure disappeared, Emily did not completely relax her vigilance.

She wiped away the little tears that fell on her cheeks, pursed her lips and continued to pretend to cry. After making sure there were no people around, he quietly went to the garden behind the castle.

“This is what you asked me to give you.”

Emily handed Bart a bag of baby seeds.

Bart and Suo rework a new field and plant the seeds of a lover brought by Emily.

...****************...

After Ryan left the castle, he wore the witch hood provided by the system and came to the richest place in Oran.

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

Looking around, there were only a few sporadic equipment shops, dilapidated hotels and merchants on both sides forming a shopping street.

There were more pubs and barbecue restaurants, followed by the only magic shop in Oran, which sold only a few ordinary potions.

Ryan lifted his hood and ignored the faint gaze of others, while communicating with the system he was looking around: "Maybe because of daylight, people are now busy working."

[There may be more people at night, but it's not much better.]

The system tells Ryan the real situation, [It has been almost ten years since the traveling merchant came to Oran]

"How did this happen? Is the condition so bad that people think there's no commercial value here?"

Ryan did not despair and began to think, "When fruit lovers ripen, promote various products, and then boost the economy. It doesn't take long to attract business people from elsewhere, does it?"

He had 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, "Okay, I believe the secret you told me."

system: [..].

Let's just say he believed it.

Ryan stood by the side of the road and looked around for a while, and finally entered the adventurer guild.

When Ryan opened the door, the president at the bar lazily raised his head.

Upon seeing Ryan's clothes, he immediately stood up and asked doubtfully: "This one...Master Witch?"

His tone was hesitant and unsure, and the few people standing before the commission board also turned their heads.

There had been no new magicians in Oran for a few 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 Heavenly Bird was hidden behind Ryan's hood, and for now no one realized that the magician before him was actually Lord Oran.

"Sst, don't make a sound."

Ryan lowered his voice and replied gently. He walked towards the president of the Adventurers Guild and placed the silver coins in the bar.

"I want to ask you something."

Before he entered he wanted to ask about buying a shop, but upon entering, Ryan realized that as a lord, he had the right to trade over the entire land in Oran.

Maybe he can buy some useful information here.

...****************...

Henry got the key out of Emily's hand. After climbing upstairs, she turned around and saw Emily walking away crying, then walking straight towards the master's room.

"Sir.."

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

"Mr Ryan?"

Henry's tone of voice increased and he 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 tame the flaming horse was here.

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

Henry glanced towards the door, then bowed and crouched on the ground while flipping the ground firmly, yet he did not know that bad luck had befallen him.

...****************...

Ryan stood outside the door of the Adventurer Guild with a delicate expression on his face. Henry used his master's name to collect many unexplained taxes, but these taxes were not recorded in the account.

Moreover, the president of the Adventurers Guild seemed interested in approaching Ryan who was incarnated as a witch.

Using silver coins as an excuse, in addition to telling Ryan what he asked for, he also accidentally told him some secrets about Henry and his former overlord.

When Ryan walked out of the Adventurers Guild, the guild members puzzledly asked why the president told so many secrets to strangers about Oran.

The Adventurers Guild President looked at the guild door, and only after Ryan's figure disappeared did he say, "Our new master, it seems like he's also a witch."

...****************...

After leaving the Adventurers Guild, Ryan took a walk around and returned to the castle at sunset.

Instead of climbing up the vines, she removed her headscarf and walked towards the door generously.

"Welcome back, dear Mr. Ryan."

The soldiers on both sides held weapons and stood outside the door to welcome Ryan's return. There was a bit of confusion in their eyes. No one knows when you left.

Chef Bunir has prepared dinner, he has not learned much cooking, his dinner is still a variation of bacon and black bread dry and hard.

Ryan has no appetite and eats little. Before returning to the room, Ryan turned his head and looked at Henry who was waiting at the side.

When Henry saw Ryan looking at him, his brows suddenly furrowed. He panicked and mistakenly thought that Ryan had known what he had been doing all day.

He spoke first and asked: "Yes Mr Ryan, is there anything you want to say to me?"

Ryan nodded, "Yes."

Finally under Henry's nervous gaze, Ryan asked Henry for things he had thought of on the way home.

Ryan looked at Henry and said, "I want all the Oran bills as well as a map of the area planning and ownership deed."

After hearing these little things, Henry's nervous mood instantly subsided.

Henry immediately lowered his head, "Yes Sir, I will send the bill to your room later."

Ryan greeted, turned around and left the dining room, and returned to his bedroom leisurely.

...****************...

When Ryan returned to the bedroom, he found that the ground on the surface of the flower pot next to the window had been refilled.

Hanging his coat, Ryan stood by the window, and the system told in his mind everything that happened in the castle after he left.

Ryan looked at the boundless night that suddenly fell outside the window and the deep red sunset.

The golden and red double moon came with the stars. He could not help but look at the wonders of the world.

After eating, Tian Mianniao returned to his nest to rest.

Soon there was a knock at the door, and at the same time Henry's voice was heard: "Yes, sir, I have brought the Oran's books to your order."

"Lake in."

Ryan greeted me in the room. Henry gently pushed the door open with one hand.

When she saw Ryan standing by the window, her heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, Ryan's attention wasn't on the plants.

Ryan looked sideways at Henry, "Put those things on the table."

Henry lowered his head and obeyed his instructions, walked into the room as if nothing had happened, and placed a thick stack of yellowed parchment scrolls on the table.

Ryan walked from window to table and sat down in a chair.

There were smoke marks and burns on the corner of the sheepskin roll. Ryan held a few rolls of sheepskin in his hand, looked at the date and frowned.

"The date of this bill does not match, the time span is too large, I want the entire bill, everything.”

The gap is not just one or two days, but up to several months.

There is a big difference between the amount before and after, in addition to the usefulness of the land deed, the bill is just a pile of useless trash.

"Please listen to my explanation."

Henry seemed to have anticipated Ryan's current reaction, he looked at him and said calmly: "When the previous master died, his son Cole lit a fire in the castle and took all the properties to join the territory of the high nobility. This is already the most complete bill we saved from the fire at Oran.”

Seeing Ryan's disbelief, Henry's voice paused for a moment: "Master Ryan, didn't His Majesty the King mention this to you when you took over the Oran Territory?"

Ryan pinched the corner of the scorched parchment scroll with his fingers and looked at him coldly: "This is what you as a housekeeper can ask your own Master?"

The test failed, and Henry let out a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead.

He continued to apologize frantically, and his tone was very humble, "I'm very sorry Dear Mr. Ryan, apologize for my unintentional behavior."

Ryan closed his eyes slightly, placed the parchment in his hand on the table, looked at Henry with cold eyes and said, "You can go."

Henry lowered his head and stepped back, carefully leaving the room.

When he finally closed the door, he did not forget to say, "I'm so sorry. Please forgive me for my rudeness tonight."

Ryan ignored her and looked at the parchment.

After Henry left Ryan's bedroom, he returned to his room along a brightly lit corridor.

He sat down at his not-so-simple table, took out a magic pen and magic potion, took out a piece of parchment and rolled it up.

The words written on the parchment disappeared. Henry folded the parchment and put it in a white envelope, stamped the sealed part, then took out a magic whistle.

After a long time, a white paper bird flew into his room.

...****************...

Ryan flipped through all the parchments, frowning slightly and saying to the system in his mind: "This bill is completely useless to me right now."

[It's still useful.]

The system answers slowly: [At least you know that you are not the poorest person.]

"really. The previous master did not even have ten gold coins in his hand. He trusted Henry a lot."

Ryan stroked the parchment with his finger, "But I always felt something was wrong."

Henry's last words seemed to test whether he could be in a relationship with the king.

So Ryan said: "Tong see Henry's reaction, am I your previous uncle's son?"

System: [You think too much]

Ryan :?

...****************...

On the morning of the third day, before dawn, Ryan left the bedroom from the window sill and went deep into the back garden with the heavenly bird.

Near the beloved fruit planting site, in cooperation with Bart, Suo, Al and Toby. It has built simple wooden cabins, as well as some semi-finished houses that are more beautiful and sturdy.

After a few days of being nourished by the flower fairy and the provision of high-quality fertilizer, the seedlings of the beloved fruit planted a few days ago have grown to a height of almost a meter, the seedling of the fruit of the lover that was planted a few days ago has grown to a height of almost one meter, taller than any tomato seed Ryan has ever seen.

The river beside him was clear and unknown trees swayed in the wind.

Ryan looked at the lover's fruit field from a distance, and said to the system in his mind: "I remember when tomato seedlings grew so tall, they almost started to bear fruit."

[It's still early.]

The system answers quickly, [The fruit of the lover will bloom if its height is roughly the same as yours.]

Ryan touched Tian Mianniao's head, stared at the wooden house, then turned back to the castle.

System: [Are you not going to tell them about your arrival?]

Ryan shook his head, "No need."

Magicians can reduce their own sense of existence and block perception. Bart and Suo have been taking care of Lover's Fruit lately.

Toby and Al take the time to train themselves when they are not building a house. It's still early morning and there's no need to wake them up.

When Ryan used the vines to return to the room, Emily on duty today was standing alone inside the room.

He looked at Ryan respectfully and said: "Yes sir, hot water has been prepared for you. Besides, as you might expect, the key was forcibly taken by Butler Henry yesterday."
