Dear Broom Knight
#119 - Lowry in the eye of the storm
So, even the relatively good life in the Northlands is just so-so. Being able to eat your fill and having clothes to wear doesn't mean they live with any so-called dignity.
Living peacefully, not dying because of sudden riots, not encountering lords who tear down homes and flay skin, and being able to grow old peacefully in their own beds is a life worth praising.
Even Lowry, if he didn't have the memories and emotions of another world, would feel, like other Northland lords, that he could proudly face everyone.
No one in his territory has ever starved to death.
But even the most indifferent modern person wouldn't think that being able to do this makes him the perfect lord.
Lowry initially considered whether to enlighten the people and start a literacy campaign... In his opinion, the saying 'the more knowledge, the more reactionary' was never a derogatory term.
Although he's not a good person, Lowry still feels a little uncomfortable seeing those common people who spend their entire lives raising children and then enjoying a few years of happiness in the vortex.
In the era he lived in, people were awake to the point of being almost cold-blooded.
Choosing one's own happiness first may not be the choice most people would make, but some people will always do it.
Even those who are willing to enter the vortex actually understand what kind of life they have chosen; they are just a little braver.
Anyway, Lowry has always called young men and women who understand everything but still enter into family life to raise children, and even navigate between two large families, 'warriors'.
However, Lowry will always be the one who chooses himself first, and then carefully and cautiously lends a hand when he has the spare capacity and it's convenient.
Even when donating a hundred coins, Lowry has to think about whether there will be a forced second '100'.
He can only let these common people live a little more like human beings while raising birds.
Ten copper coins for a rabbit is almost the highest purchase price.
That's something even a farmer with a hoe can kill five or six of a day.
If Lowry hadn't brought enough raptors from the Northlands because of this, his castle's vacuum warehouse, which is specially used for storing food, would probably have exploded.
Fortunately, Lowry is a mage with air magic specialization.
Although Lowry only provided what he considered a little help, now in the Territory of Gezal, even people with only a few acres of land can wear decent clothes to stroll around the commercial street and grit their teeth to buy a gift for themselves and their families.
This is an incredible thing for outsiders.
Whether it's that these people, who look like 'untouchables', actually have the courage and confidence to enter such a prosperous area to shop, or that those seemingly luxurious shops actually allow them to walk around freely, picking and choosing.
How could people with only that little money in their pockets buy whatever they see?
They definitely have to choose the most cost-effective thing.
But those shops, most of which belong directly to the lord, and the servants who are clearly serving the nobles, did not refuse their endless deliberation.
Their character is unbelievably good.
Moreover, it will directly arouse curiosity about that Lord of Gezal.
What kind of person can cultivate such well-mannered servants?
Sitting on the second floor of the exquisite and elegant restaurant, Ians from Darkmoon watched intently, pondering something in her heart.
"Ians, what are you looking at?" Her companion, Suryani, carefully forked a piece of meat and carefully stuffed it into her mouth.
This delicious restaurant, directly under Baron Lowry, is only open for five hours a day, and there are only twelve tables.
According to the consistent rules of the Territory of Gezal, it's first come, first served.
However, due to the special nature of the restaurant, reservations can be made in advance.
Every day at dusk, basically between 5:30 and 6:00, a castle servant will appear in a small window on the left side of the restaurant, waiting for guests to make reservations.
Basically, you can only book within five days.
Of course, it's still first come, first served, and if there's a conflict with someone else, the latecomer can only change the time.
Fortunately, if you book the time when the restaurant just opens, you can sit for a full five hours, and you can also order some more meals.
If the guest leaves early, then see who is lucky enough to come over and ask at this time.
Of course, no new guests are accepted one hour before the restaurant closes.
However, unless something suddenly happens, guests who have finally managed to book such an expensive restaurant will basically stay for a full five hours, even if they only drink some complimentary juice at the end.
The reason why Ians is so free and has time to observe the people coming and going on the street is because she and Suryani were lucky enough to encounter a table of guests who left in a hurry after staying for less than an hour.
Moreover, she and Suryani happened to be wandering around the street with a belly full of anger because of their encounter at the magic shop when they saw this guest rushing out.
Since it was a godsend opportunity, although Ians and Suryani had already booked three days later, they still came in without hesitation.
But Ians really didn't expect that the food here would be so delicious that even the two of them from Darkmoon, who had seen so much, couldn't control themselves.
She's a little better, but Suryani is almost burying herself in the plate.
Moreover, she's still constantly adding more... Because Suryani heard that she can't order food one hour before the restaurant closes, she started to quickly increase the amount after finishing the first round.
Ians suspects that the manager of this restaurant will soon take countermeasures against Suryani's operation.
After all, she has seen several people wearing Territory of Gezal uniforms standing on tiptoe in the distance to watch.
Because she felt a little embarrassed, she kept looking out the window... Although she also ate a lot, Ians really couldn't do what Suryani did, directly dissolving the food in her stomach with divine magic, and then continuing to eat.
The digestion power of these high-level professionals is already quite fast, otherwise there wouldn't be a rule of eating for five hours.
But doing what Suryani did is still a bit too embarrassing.
However, anyway, the church mamas are not here, and the relationship between Darkmoon and the Territory of Gezal cannot be too close, so let Suryani go.
After all, even knowing that she still has a chance to eat again, Ians is still a little regretful.
Unfortunately, they have no way to take away the chef here.
Although I had heard a long time ago that the reason why this restaurant is so casual is because the chefs inside are all兼任castle chefs.
Or rather, this restaurant was originally opened by those young chefs specifically to improve their skills.
There's no way around it. In a castle with only one owner, unless a large amount of precious ingredients are wasted every day, how much food can be made?
It's just that this lord still has some requirements for food, which is why the chefs came up with this method.
If it were replaced by those knight lords who can live with rough, heavy oil and heavy salt, how could it be so troublesome?
However, it can also be seen from here that Baron Gezal is a very practical nobleman.
Although he is not the kind of simple type, you can't say he is extravagant.
Ians doesn't think that the chefs themselves would come up with such a good way to exercise their skills.
Generally speaking, in a noble castle, if any chef really wants to improve, they have to pay the price themselves first.
The nobles will only give a reward when they see the results.
Whether this can cover the chef's efforts depends on how much the nobles like it.
This tests the chef's own courage and insight.
However, most chefs will not do such troublesome things. They are just cooks, and it is good to follow orders.
Baron Gezal's style of doing things is really not like a proper nobleman.
However, his background does have its own particularity and uniqueness, and others can't compare.
But, Ians put her head on the crystal window and asked a little puzzled: "Suryani, can you taste which country's style these dishes are?\nI don't understand how he can naturally combine the flavors of multiple places together?
Some foods obviously have a seaside flavor, and even some from desert areas.
Of course, these have been changed to suit the local taste.
But this is what Ians can't figure out the most... Where did that Baron Lowry find a chef who can so naturally integrate the flavors of multiple places?
This can go to the Northern Kingdom to be the head chef!
Yes, in Ians's heart, these young chefs, whose skills are obviously not yet perfect, rely entirely on taste to win, and there must be a very good teacher.
Her fingers trembled slightly.
Suryani, who swallowed the meat in her mouth, looked up at her: "Ians, give up your impulsive thoughts."
Suryani never felt that she was the nail in the eyes of the church mamas.
Although she doesn't care about small things, she listens to big things!
Unlike Ians, who is simply growing a rebellious heart and feels that only what she has seen with her own eyes is real.
"Don't forget the solemn statement the head teacher made when we came out." Suryani said worriedly, "If you have to make trouble, please wait until I have completed my mission."
Ians pursed her lips, and a trace of disapproval obviously flashed in her eyes.
However, Suryani was satisfied.
The fact that this woman showed it means that she will not act impulsively.
The Lord of Gezal is too special.
Although he seems to be uninvolved in everything, the forces involved are definitely not few.
The reason why Baron Lowry is so stable is actually because he is standing in the eye of the storm.
