Dear Broom Knight

The exact allegiance of the spy discovered by the White Dragon Lady remains uncertain, but it's clear that Ruthkania intends to capture them, strip them of their wealth, and brand them before expelling them from Lorry's territory.

High-level professionals like these, while not necessarily rolling in money, are undoubtedly well-off.

Even if they don't carry a lot of gold and jewelry, they carry many magical items and potions!

These are far more valuable than gold and silver.

Of course, ordinary infiltrators usually don't possess many valuables... Although, according to some unwritten rules of noble society, spies and those providing support for infiltration, if not caught committing serious crimes like murder or arson, are typically just registered and deported.

Don't be fooled by how easily the cultists enter; it's simply uncontrollable... Just look at those Ice Snow cultists wrapped in dog hides, eating and living with dogs, and living under the open sky.

How can you control them?

Very few of them have information recorded in any meaningful way.

Even if there was a record at the time of their first awakening, it wouldn't matter.

The Ice Snow Cult is different from the High Tower Church.

After all, the High Tower Church has many enemies, so they must conceal their aura and prevent others from easily discovering their identity.

Therefore, their original soul aura remains the same.

This is why Pat and the others could operate around the Awakening Array without leaving any traces.

But the Ice Snow Cult is different, especially those cultists who mingle with the ice dog packs. Their soul aura eventually becomes filled with a wild, untamed power, a desolate coldness.

Of course, even so, they can only be left unmanaged before being caught for the first time.

Besides, cultists who are caught, unless they are big shots, don't get a second chance!

Moreover, in reality, the spies who are truly cleaned up and sent away are those who are difficult to kill, such as church spies or spies from other countries.

How should I put it... The Northern Kingdom sends out quite a few as well, right?

When everyone is doing the same thing, you are free not to participate, but you can't overturn the table just because you don't want to.

Unless you plan to be an enemy of the entire world.

Therefore, even if Lorry certainly doesn't need to welcome back his own subordinates who accidentally crossed the border, he can't kill these probes.

The Wealth Church already attacked him and got caught in the act, that's a different matter.

Even if Lorry let them go, the feud would be set.

Releasing them would imply his weakness.

Therefore, Lorry simply didn't bother listening to their pleas or offers of ransom; he directly wiped them out, along with the insect hive.

But, if it were the Dark Night Church, even if they secretly targeted Lorry repeatedly, he couldn't directly strike a fatal blow.

After all, knowing who did it doesn't mean you caught who did it.

You have to endure without evidence... Not that Lorry can't arrest them, but it hasn't reached that point yet.

Anyway, he has retaliated secretly.

The Dark Night Church's basic intelligence network in the Northern Kingdom's northern territory has been basically wiped out by him.

Of course, they can rebuild it, but the solid foundation of the Dark Night Church in the North, built over hundreds or thousands of years, was only possible because the previous kings' powers were not comprehensive enough.

The current king, while seemingly turning a blind eye, actually interferes in everything.

Perhaps, in the end, the Dark Night leaders in the North will be kneeling before the White Dragon King!

Therefore, Lorry wasn't annoyed by those unwritten rules.

Direct confrontation in the open, covert operations in the dark!

As long as you don't dare to use a level 16 person to attack him secretly, he has nothing to fear.

Moreover, even if they can't be killed, there are ways to deal with them.

People may leave, but their belongings can't.

When cleaning up those people, Lorry still made a small fortune... for him.

However, due to a lack of manpower and the need for a quick resolution, Lorry enlisted the help of two White Dragons.

Their reward was all the possessions of those people.

He didn't inquire about Bolanios's methods in detail; as long as the job was done.

But he knew what Ruthkania did, after all, this is a big shot who even knocked off a certain unlucky guy's gold teeth.

When Lorry's men escorted these people out of the country, they almost felt sympathy for them.

Of course, only almost.

Ruthkania was particularly excited during that time, almost wanting to return to the Northern Kingdom's capital and carry out a major cleanup based on some intelligence Lorry provided.

However, the White Dragon King stopped her in time.

Lorry wasn't clear on the details, but he knew that Ruthkania sold that intelligence for a good price.

The result is that most forces in the Northern Territory and its vicinity will no longer think that the empty, unobstructed land is suitable for conversations that shouldn't be heard by outsiders.

Although secret meetings are prone to backstabbing and infighting, it's still better than being thoroughly understood by that Baron Lorry next door.

Moreover, even in other areas of the North, people will pay attention to their words and actions before the migratory birds start flying north.

Although ordinary animals and birds basically have no memory, what if?

Who knows who will be unlucky!

A certain stronghold of the Dark Night Church, located in the southern hills of Baron Gezar's territory, is said to have only been opened once in March, and even then, it was at night, their most powerful and secretive time.

But Lorry still found traces.

It must have been inadvertently revealed by those northward-flying birds when they came to his castle to beg for food.

No one knows why Lorry's pair of living wings can remember so much information so clearly, nor can they guess whether this mage baron, who is said to manage all this intelligence himself, has some special method to summarize and organize the information provided by a group of birds that can't even speak clearly, but he can do it.

If you can't deal with others, you can only wrong yourself.

Therefore, the Northern Kingdom, including the large and small forces on the southern border of the Icefield Kingdom, have begun to work hard to build interconnected secret rooms for themselves.

In fact, Lorry has been feeling a sense of hostility coming from all directions for the past two months... But after figuring out what was going on, he could only accept this crazy curse.

Even Leon next door is probably cursing him.

After all, cost is an important issue for any power holder.

And Lorry has added insult to injury to their already stretched funds.

How should I put it... Logically speaking, after such an incident, Lorry should be honest for at least a year.

But even the Goddess of the Night wouldn't express any dissatisfaction with his actions... Even if it's a hidden spear against a hidden arrow, the Dark Night Church fired the first arrow.

Lorry has been quite polite, not even letting them lose any personnel.

The Dark Night Church can't say anything about the loss of property... What Lorry lost was his right to inherit the Montes family!

Although he has now separated from the family, if he can obtain the little rhinoceros given by the Earl of Montes and resonate with it, then he can become the most qualified branch family to inherit the title, apart from the Fabris family.

Of course, if Fabris's younger brother and uncle survive, then Lorry's inheritance right will basically be just a title.

But... isn't there only Fabris left?

Although Lorry is clearly not interested in this inheritance right, as long as he has it, he can gain huge benefits from the Montes family.

Sometimes, legitimacy can be used as money.

What the Dark Night Church made Lorry lose was the benefits of the next few decades or even centuries!

His retaliation is reasonable and justified, even if these benefits are just illusory assumptions.

However, these strongholds of the Dark Night Church are also existing by default, but not reasonably!

So, for now, everyone is even.

Unless the Dark Night Church is not convinced and wants to continue to attack him.

Lorry thought for a while and still felt that the Dark Night Church wouldn't be so stubborn.

Although they fought fiercely before, they didn't touch each other's bottom line, so it can only be said that it was a covert struggle, but not mutual killing or a deadly feud.

Just like those big companies in Lorry's previous life, didn't they also spy on each other and scheme against each other!

The struggle for利益, has nothing to do with human feelings and humanity.

But if you attack the same family three times in a year, then you are aiming to make an enemy, and it is normal for the other party to retaliate in any way.

With the Goddess of the Night clearly having more important tasks for them to complete, they wouldn't cling to Lorry.

After all, Lorry is clearly an existence they can't easily kill, so they will treat him with a serious attitude.

And those people in his territory who are related to the Dark Night Church have basically been cleaned up by Lorry.

Then... the only possibility is those people who take money to do things.

And there are indeed a few unstable factors in his territory staying in the library.

Although Lorry doesn't have much to do with Scroll Mountain, he doesn't have any grudges either. On the contrary, his mother, Mrs. Yagrisf, has always had several old scholars she contacts regularly.

Therefore, he has a good attitude towards these quasi-apprentices who stayed in his territory.

Even though several of them have ambiguous attitudes, only want to stay in the library, and treat Lorry as their boss.

They are willing to work for Lorry, but are unwilling to stay in Lorry's territory for the rest of their lives.

Of course, what they say is that they want to go to Scroll Mountain.
