Dear Broom Knight

#217 - Unexpected enemy

Lowry said with a serious face, "However, Ruthcarnia, Bolaños doesn't seem to like too many men involved in your life.

So, if I go out on a trade route and Bolaños pays for it, is that okay?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ruthcarnia sat up in surprise, "Do you know how terrifying an attack that is to a white dragon?

If you want to help, find another way!"

That would be too much of a loss for me."

Ruthcarnia said hesitantly, "Lowry... even if it's not my money, it sounds painful to me.

Can't you just give all that money to me?

I will definitely take good care of the children!"

Lowry rolled his eyes helplessly: "Am I that free?

If I wasn't thinking that they would live in my territory in the future, I wouldn't care if your children are healthy!

Instead of compensating them later, like the effort it took with you in the beginning, it's better to do everything well from the start!"

The White Dragon lady, listening to her friend's tough words, said with a look of grievance: "You've already thought it all out, why are you still asking me?

Doesn't that just make me more upset?"

"When Bolaños comes back, have him come to the castle to find me!" Lowry felt that there was no need to continue arguing with Ruthcarnia.

This guy was already blinded by that little bit of money.

Even knowing that there was more to his words, she was still entangled in the money that would inevitably be spent… Ruthcarnia's meaning was very clear, hoping that Lowry would pretend to spend the money and then give it to her.

He sighed slightly… Although he had already known that Ruthcarnia would react this way, her performance, which was too in line with the dragon's personality, still made him a little helpless.

However, the reaction he wanted was enough.

"There have been some annoying little bugs in my castle recently." Lowry stood up and said casually, "The extermination will start today, don't be affected by it."

Ruthcarnia curiously patted the petals she was leaning on: "I'm so bored ~ Lowry."

"I don't mind if you roar a few times then." Lowry said without turning his head.

"Eh?" Ruthcarnia tilted her head and thought… The last time Lowry looked for her, it was to have her and Bolaños reduce the range of their dragon might for a short period.

So, the two of them have only been exerting their power here in the castle's inner lake recently.

Then… does Lowry's words mean that he has completed his plan and doesn't need her and Bolaños to endure it anymore?

Tsk ~ She knew it!

How could the Gale Wolves not be able to withstand their dragon might?

Although ordinary wolves would definitely find it difficult to endure, they would never live close to the castle.

When she patrolled last time, she clearly saw that those useless things that couldn't withstand it were arranged to live by the border river.

And the stronger the Gale Wolves, the closer their living area was to the castle.

Those guys didn't react when Bolaños brought back their close relatives, the Ice Hounds, and didn't turn around and leave when they saw the two of them tearing at the Ice Hounds' bellies, how could they not withstand a little dragon might?

This guy Lowry always tells her what he did after everything is over!

And then she has to guess the cause and effect herself.

Really, she always feels that Lowry doing this is even more annoying than Travis not telling her anything at all.

Being half-informed is the most annoying.

Ruthcarnia started rolling around in the Thousand-Petaled Lotus in dissatisfaction.

Even though the Thousand-Petaled Lotus Hall has always been stable, it had to rely on shaking to disperse this sudden turbulence.

In the inner lake of the castle, ripples quickly spread in circles.

"What kind of skipping stones can make more waves than I do?" Ruthcarnia suddenly muttered, then took out a few small stones that were exactly the same as the ones Lowry had just held in his hand, and threw them out with her claws 'swoosh swoosh'.

Then, the White Dragon lady, watching the small stones quickly sink to the bottom in the ripples, quickly lay down and began to ripple again… What no one saw, is what didn't happen.

— —

Lowry did see it.

But based on his understanding of his dragon friend, this was almost bound to happen.

Returning to the castle, standing at a high place, he looked coldly at the hills opposite.

Then he looked down at the front of the castle, the place where the grand bonfire party had been held just a few months ago, and a sharp line formed on his lips.

Lowry didn't care that someone would take advantage of the three-day, three-night gathering to put sand in his house.

Since he dared to open it to the public, he was prepared to face these things.

Although the fact that the other party stuffed in some little bugs made him unhappy… Yes, real bugs.

When Lowry first discovered those little things, he thought it was the work of the Earth Church.

But he quickly realized that something was wrong.

After careful investigation, he discovered that the most likely origin of these bugs was the Goddess of Wealth.

This was something that Lowry had never considered.

Among the seven gods—the Lord of Storms, the God of Earth, the Lord of Light, the Goddess of the Night, the Lord of Courage, the God of Knowledge, and the Goddess of Wealth—the ones whose presences were always very obvious were only Storms, Earth, and Night.

The Lord of Light doesn't have his own church… After all, he's not like the sun gods of other worlds, who, as the sun, can't even have dawn and have to share the light with other gods.

This very confident sun god has a very eccentric personality and doesn't give any humans divine magic that belongs to him.

Sometimes, he favors some birds.

The reason why Lowry's Living Feathers can survive so well in this world is because, when this magical creature was created by mages, it was rare for this sun god to show up and observe it once, and it is said that he also bestowed a divine artifact to that mage.

But that was a long, long time ago, when this world could still be connected to the astral plane.

Living Feathers are not original creatures of this world, but mages, after hearing about the origin of this little thing, became curious and wanted to try whether this creation magic could be recognized by the laws of their own world.

Generally speaking, even if mages can enlighten certain creatures and give them virtual intelligence… allowing them to communicate normally with humans and think without problems, these creatures all exist by relying on magic, and once the magic power that maintains their lives disappears, they will naturally dissipate.

This is not a real creature.

Creating life is basically still the forbidden zone of the gods.

But Living Feathers, this kind of magical creature, can only be created by mages… the power of law only recognizes pure magic.

Moreover, Living Feathers can also rely on magic to produce offspring!

This is the reason why they became magical creatures.

Although they must have external help to become stronger, they are definitely creatures because they can continue their race with their own abilities.

At that time, many archmages curiously probed after hearing about the way this creature existed.

However, only the archmage who was praised by the Lord of Light created it.

Arsalan, when mentioning these ancient stories to Lowry, once said that that person must have had some special talent, otherwise the Lord of Light would not have suddenly become curious.

The sun god only needs people to remember that the sun above their heads is him and that the daily light comes from him.

Humans don't dare to forget either.

Although this one doesn't say anything, if there is really any place where there is blasphemy against him, he will also take action to teach a lesson.

The sun god acts as he pleases, sometimes it's dark and sometimes it's scorched earth for thousands of miles.

Although humans are stupid, they are still full of awe for that sun god under such circumstances.

They only dare to carefully say some nonsense like 'The sunshine is really good today.'

Therefore, dividing with this sun god, who doesn't like to be disturbed by mortals, as the center line… on the left are the three natural gods, and on the right are Courage, Knowledge, and Wealth.

The Lord of Courage, to some extent, is more like a vassal of the God of Storms.

Although it is not so on the surface, he has always been sheltered by the Lord of Storms.

After all, knights actually have their own beliefs, and when fighting, they generally call upon their own main god.

Only those adventurers and mercenaries are more willing to believe that courage is their strength.

And within the sphere of influence of several gods, the Lord of Storms is the one who cares the least that his believers shout a few words of 'Courage help me succeed' when they have nothing to do.

Therefore, the presence of the Lord of Courage has always been very erratic, and his place of faith is also very close to the Lord of Storms.

However, in this world dominated by knights, he is the only god who provides and protects the foot combat profession.

This is also the reason why adventurers are willing to believe in him.

After all, most adventurers are very poor, and it's good to have armor, and they can't afford horses at all.

The God of Knowledge goes without saying, the fact that bards and scholars can become systematic professions basically originates from him.

Especially scroll scholars, once they appeared, they laid the foundation for him to become a god.

And this Goddess of Wealth who suddenly appeared in Lowry's territory… her presence has always been there, after all, as long as it's a merchant, no matter what they believe in, they will mention her a few times during transactions.

She was able to become a god because she guaranteed fair transactions in commercial activities.

Therefore, her church is more like a chamber of commerce than a church… The more capable the bishop priest, the better they are at doing business.

Lowry couldn't understand at all why the Church of the Goddess of Wealth would suddenly set its sights on his territory.

This is not normal.

Even if the Goddess of Wealth wants to participate in the affairs of the Icefield Kingdom because of those possibilities in the future, she shouldn't have found him, Lowry.

Therefore, he quickly thought of the most valuable existence in his territory.

It's not any mineral resources, let alone the newly arrived Gale Wolves.

But Ruthcarnia, the three dragon eggs that are about to appear.
