Dear Broom Knight

#238 - Silent Parental Dignity

Although not jumping up and down, Lowry, whose mind was already conjuring up various strange tales, was trying hard to get Ruthkania to recall exactly how many meters she had set.

One thousand meters would be fine, but two thousand meters really worried him about underground hot springs or lava.

Although the magic world's isothermal and variable temperature layers might be different, the basic concepts were still the same!

Cold places don't necessarily mean no geothermal activity.

Otherwise, the capital of Iceland wouldn't be the cleanest city on Earth... hot water would be sprayed from underground wells hundreds of meters deep.

Heaven knows where Ruthkania has drilled!

If a hot spring is really drilled out, then... the impact force, and the huge kinetic energy generated by the collision of hot and cold... damn it, in the previous world, that was energy that could be used to generate electricity!

Lowry didn't think that ten meters of ten-thousand-year-old ice could withstand such a huge impact.

Moreover, what ice fish would you raise then?

Wouldn't they be cooked directly!

Lowry stared at the inner lake, beginning to redesign his home.

And from the bottom of his heart, he let out a sigh: "Pray! Ruthkania.

Otherwise, when Boranios comes back, you two will have to move."

Who would dare to raise a baby dragon in a place where a piece of ice might collapse and a hot spring might burst out one day?

It's not like it's a red dragon.

However, Lowry had already arranged for his mother's subordinates to live in the outer lake area, and the Knights of Yagris seemed to have turned it into a resort, especially those who lived in individual houses, who even settled their families there.

Lowry's original plan for a small grocery store... really sold everything, vegetables, meat, and fruit, a small quantity but a complete variety... eventually turned into a small supermarket.

Even the castle servants working there had increased from the original five to the current fifteen.

There was no way around it, although there were auxiliary things like cleaning magic circles, more people, especially places with more children, would inevitably require manpower to take care of them frequently.

Cheska had to recruit another round of castle servants.

There was no way around it, even after Mrs. Yagris took over this territory, some people who didn't have good talent and whose families were doing okay no longer went out to adventure... not all adventure groups and mercenaries could make money!

Any profession, even in a fantasy world, is bound to have the top few who earn the most, the middle few who can get a little bit of the pie.

Then, the largest number of people at the bottom split the remaining soup, at most earning enough to support their families.

It's just that the soup of some professions is the pie of other professions.

But adventurers are different, they really risk their lives to adventure.

It's just that if they don't die, they can feed themselves well, and if they die, they can send a sum of money to their families.

Therefore, those with good talent who can enter the army will definitely go if they have the opportunity.

But those with poor talent, including those in the middle and lower classes, if their own territory can survive, everyone still wants to stay at home.

The hundreds of blank tombstones in Gezar territory over the years prove their sorrow.

Therefore, Lowry was able to dig out more than a hundred usable castle servants from the territory, as well as a considerable number of territory workers... that is, those who can't enter the castle to work, but can also work in small town and village shops like the rabbit meat pie shop.

Of course, it's not to say that there are no odd job workers in his territory.

But these people simply can't pass the castle's qualification review, not even the simplest one.

Either they have done something wrong themselves, or there is a problem with their family members.

A lord like Lowry, who clearly knows that they may have problems, but will not expel them on the grounds of 'trumped-up charges', and even allows them to do odd jobs, sell rabbits, and recognize their Gezar territory citizenship, is really rare.

Of course, if Lowry catches them in the act, the punishment will definitely be heavy.

And he can basically catch them.

Lowry himself didn't expect that he would complete the journey of eighty years in other territories in just eight short years.

Economic and human resources have all reached a balance, and his territory obviously still has a long way to go.

At least, there are still decades of economic upturn... his own castle plan has not been completely completed!

Although Lowry can do many things himself, he will not choose to do so when he is not short of money.

He is still quite willing to provide enough physical work for his people.

The most awkward group of people in his territory right now are those middle-aged adults whose physical fitness has passed its peak but who are not very good at technical work.

Although they can open up farmland outside the city and exchange rabbits for money because of Lowry's permission and protection.

However, everyone is making money to improve their lives, only they themselves are supporting their families... this awkward feeling makes these former pillars of the family a little embarrassed.

Lowry saw a lot of similar, unspoken sorrows from his little bird eyeliner.

And for these people, the various temporary jobs released by the lord every year after the end of the busy farming season, where they can earn a lot of money as long as they listen to orders and contribute their strength, are their last face.

At least, they can stand up straight in front of their children who have formal jobs.

Lowry used to think that only traditional East Asian parents would have this feeling... Westerners with simple minds and only thinking about benefits would not be so attached.

However, from the performance of these people in his territory, it can be seen that even if they are used to separating their children to live their own lives after they reach adulthood and start a family, it does not mean that they can accept the result that they, who are healthy, earn more than their newly adult children.

The unspeakable self-esteem of being a parent is the same everywhere.

Lowry is actually quite willing to fulfill these people's self-esteem... after all, he only understood these little thoughts for the first time in this world.

In the past, he didn't have the leisure or the interest to understand the hearts of the parents' generation, he just wanted to stay away.

Of course, it's not that he didn't want to at all, but it would only be negative.

And at that time, his only relief was that fortunately he was not a girl.

Speaking of which, their place has always been very good to girls, although they will cultivate their ability to do housework, they will not really let them be troubled by housework every day.

It seems like they are really spoiling their daughters.

However, interestingly, in their place, although boys and girls seem to be going to college, the ratio of boys to girls above the second tier will quickly shrink to seven to three, and above the first tier, it's even harder to say, nine to one is barely enough.

It can be said that if his family had a girl, the investment in that girl would definitely be much more than in him, the youngest son.

If that girl also got into the Academy of Fine Arts, the family would definitely not only provide tuition and a certain amount of living expenses, but also let her paint to her heart's content with paintbrushes, drawing paper, and canvas.

It was absolutely impossible for Lowry to have to carefully consider every stroke before daring to put it on the canvas that was more expensive than his daily meal.

However, people with clear eyes like Lowry, who understood it early on, would definitely not think that these girls' futures were happy.

His mother was once a good girl who was spoiled in a certain family!

She had a job, a dowry, and looked pretty good, but didn't she still have no ideas of her own, numbly following the style of the people around her, and dividing her children into three, six, and nine classes?

However, she doesn't think there's anything wrong with her doing this... after all, everyone does it.

Boys like Lowry can still dig out the truth in that indifferent family atmosphere.

As long as he himself doesn't go crazy trying to get his parents' love because he lacked love since he was a child, then it's good to send a heavy red envelope during the New Year and holidays.

But, it's really hard for girls to get out... even if they marry far away, they know very well how to fight for benefits for their natal family within the bottom line of their husband's family.

After all, her parents have been so good to her since she was a child, how can she not repay her as a child?

She didn't do too much, at least not to the point of endangering her small family, did she?

Lowry realized these things for the first time because he clearly recognized that in his mother's heart, the most important thing was the eldest, and then, her own nephew.

In her heart, only these two were her future reliance.

Moreover, this very subtle traditional concept seems to have been tacitly maintained by everyone.

Even families without daughters will not break it.

Families with all boys are not envied, the best family is a 'good' one.

So, don't ask them why they still want to continue having children even though they already have boys.

Of course, Lowry knew that he was also raised to be selfish and indifferent by that family, and finally chose to escape alone and never look back.

This is also the reason why he is old but has never had a serious relationship.

He once had a good impression of lovely girls, and knew that the other party was waiting for him to speak, but Lowry never took a step.

He has always firmly trapped his soul in his body, not daring to release a trace of self.

He knew very well that he was a selfish ghost who was good at running away... Lowry was sincerely unwilling to harm others and harm himself.

Therefore, all of Lowry's current understanding comes from Mrs. Yagris.

His mother also has a lot of small thoughts, but the starting point is completely different.

Mrs. Yagris also values her own interests very much, but she doesn't just love herself.

She is good to Lowry because she loves her son, not because she regards her son as her future hope.

The future she wants is only in her own hands... Lowry is the icing on the cake, not a tool in her hand.
