Dear Broom Knight

Damn it! No amount of self-consolation will work!

Why would someone like that come from his territory?

Regardless of whether Lowry is innocent in this matter, others will only bring up the Barony of Gezall when discussing it.

Fortunately, he never considered trying to retain those who were destined to leave. This guy was, at best, a former resident who joined another camp because he wasn't valued by him... If Lowry, like other lords, had placed exceptional importance on all magic-based professionals, not only allowing them to reside in his castle but also granting them audiences at any time, then he would have truly lost face.

But he would still be gossiped about for years, until the next warrior who opposed a deity as a novice professional appeared.

Seriously... F...

Lowry touched his oil painting again, finally suppressing the anger in his heart.

He actually had a slight feeling.

The artifact fragment had carefully calculated when it chose him to become a member of Montas Castle.

His identity, coupled with this long, narrow territory that was ostensibly safe but fraught with endless conflicts once the two countries clashed, would definitely secure a place in the coming chaos.

If he had ulterior motives, Lowry would likely be the one facing the relentless blizzard.

But Lowry not only didn't get involved in the open and secret struggles of the gods as the artifact had calculated, but he also directly brought in a white dragon strong enough to support the situation, and then directly withdrew from this great chaos.

Although he would definitely still be affected, at least it would only be on the periphery of the storm.

Although low and high pressure systems would inevitably bring some wind and rain, at most it would only blow out two windows and break a few solitary trees.

By that time, the little dragon would already have sufficient recognition of its parents and relatives, and would likely have already activated its inherited memories, making it useless to take away.

Although it is indeed possible to suppress them with violence, it's really not worth it.

After all, Ruthkania and Boranios clearly pay close attention to their children... and the parents can sense where the dragon hatchlings are once they are fully formed.

A little dragon that cannot be killed or confined, except when they are needed to attract attention for certain things, is no longer a target for anyone.

This is also why Ruthkania entrusted Lowry and Boranios to take care of the child with peace of mind.

Lowry originally felt that the recent days were very good. He only needed to pay attention to external news to prevent anyone from dragging him into trouble. He didn't expect to receive such a surprise.

Alas... when you're drifting in the sky, you're bound to get cut.

It's good that it's over.

Although Lowry still had to lose some face, at least he could live a decent life as long as he turned a deaf ear.

But the White Dragon King couldn't.

He stood in front of Arsaran and asked, word by word: "You said, how much money?"

"I've said it several times. Are you deaf, or did you exchange ears with Ruthkania?

Five gold coins each. The price I quoted you is the lowest price. There's no such thing as bulk discounts. Do you understand?" Arsaran said impolitely, "You're not planning on making me give it to you at cost, are you? Not counting the magic power consumed to make the jewelry, or the labor costs?

Do you think I'm stupid?

Also, there's no way I'm going to break the tacit understanding between mages to help you, a rich man!

My Majesty, have you forgotten that I helped you set up all your private treasure vaults!"

The White Dragon King blinked: "But, this is royal expenditure. If you spend too much, it will affect your annuity!"

Arsaran was stunned for a moment before asking with a serious face: "Your Majesty, where's your face? Where did you leave it?

Are you using the royal treasury to find your face?"

Travis coldly laughed: "I certainly won't leave all my treasures to the next king. Do you really think those who come after can afford this kind of expenditure?"

Arsaran was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became serious: "You think this thing will be needed in the future too?"

"Even if my methods are ruthless, it's impossible to wipe out all those people in one fell swoop," Travis replied calmly. "When Lowry mentioned it to me, he hinted at something.

That's not something mortals can completely deal with, so it's best not to think about getting rid of it once and for all.

Then this kind of defense must be maintained.

Although the royal family members don't care about the protective power of these things, but... unless you can do without servants, without subordinates, without guards..."

"I know," Arsaran interrupted him helplessly. "Then it's indeed not suitable to use your private treasury."

Although the resource reserves of the Northern Kingdom's treasury are definitely larger than the royal treasury, Arsaran would never consider that option.

Even the craziest and most foolish royal family members wouldn't let the national treasury control the money of those around them.

That would be courting death.

He hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head: "No, five gold coins is the bottom line.

I can't break this tacit understanding between mages. Something big will happen."

Travis sighed and shook his head dejectedly: "Then that's all there is to it?"

"No..." Arsaran looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Wouldn't you provide the materials yourself? The royal treasury should have stores of these things, right?"

Travis was stunned for a moment: "Then why didn't you say so in the first place?"

"Because it's troublesome," Arsaran said frankly. "You have to sell the materials to me at cost first, and then I'll make them and sell them back to you."

Travis couldn't understand: "Can't you just give me a manufacturing fee?"

"You don't understand, and I can't say it clearly," Arsaran smiled. "This is also the tacit understanding of mages, but I think you'll still be able to figure it out in the future."

Travis pressed his forehead: "Forget it, it's tiring to talk to you roundabout guys.

Lowry is better. The circles are always big circles, without any bends."

"Really... You're saying that in front of me, hoping that I, as a teacher, will teach Lowry a lesson for not knowing how to speak?" Arsaran said dissatisfiedly, "Being able to deal with you like this at just adulthood, Lowry is already very good!"

"I didn't say he wasn't good," Travis asked blankly, "What are you going crazy about?"

"More than one person has come to ask me why my student is so soft-hearted," Arsaran said with a displeased expression, "How could he let that kind of person be driven out with such precious things?"

"Those two people were searched by Ruthkania!" Travis said dumbfounded, "The reason they weren't found must be because of other reasons.

They probably weren't hidden in Lowry's territory all along. Someone must have sent it to them when they crossed the Great Snow Mountain.

They're not stupid. How could someone carry it around for a long time? They would have been discovered long ago?

It's just that I didn't expect that even with the suppression of the God of Knowledge and the power of the earth, the Lord of Storms still discovered their traces."

"By the way, Your Majesty... Do you think the Earth Church this time is completely involved, or...?" Arsaran suddenly lowered his voice.

"I don't know what's going on in secret, but on the surface, they're just taking money to do things," Travis glanced at Arsaran, who only respected him a little when he needed something. "It has nothing to do with us. We just need to condemn the shamelessness of these two parties.

At least we count as a country in the storm camp."

Arsaran blinked his eyes frantically for a long time before hesitantly asking: "You, it seems, just teamed up with, um, to kill a high priest of the Storm Church. Is it appropriate to say this now?"

"Hmm? He's not dead!" Travis looked at him in surprise, "He just needs to be honest for a few decades. Is that my fault?

If you don't want to step down, don't let me catch you with a handle!"

"Lowry is right not to beat around the bush with you," Arsaran said suddenly and decisively. "It's useless anyway, so you might as well save your breath."

"Why would the God of Knowledge do that?" Taking advantage of Travis' lack of retaliation, Arsaran quickly asked another question.

Travis snorted coldly, but didn't continue to engage in unnecessary entanglements, and instead answered his question: "You should ask why Scroll Mountain would do that.

The God of Knowledge is not the Lord of Storms. He doesn't have the strength to interfere with the current earth.

It's just that as a deity who still has faith and basically meets the requirements of the laws of this world, he is still providing corresponding divine power blessings to his believers."

Travis shook his head: "He might as well learn from the Lord of Wealth and only bless the victors!

As a result, there may not be good things, but there are a lot of bad things.

It has raised a group of ambitious people."

Arsaran couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of a certain high priest's house.

"It's not the same as the Lord of Storms' subordinates," Travis understood what Arsaran was thinking. "Although that group of people is full of evildoing, they never thought they could become gods, let alone become the next Lord of Storms."

"Ah?" Arsaran shouted loudly, "What did you say?"

"Heh~ The God of Knowledge's path to godhood is an epic that those people in Scroll Mountain chant every day," Travis sneered. "Regardless of whether the God of Knowledge himself has other identities or hidden secrets, in the eyes and mouths of believers, he became a god through the faith of humans.

What he can do, others can naturally do too.

At least, some people think they can."

Arsaran said blankly: "The first step to becoming a god is to sense divinity."

"Yes... So, the subordinates of Scroll Mountain would risk offending the Lord of Storms and do such a crazy thing," Travis shook his head. "Fortunately, Lowry cleared himself early on, and the incident wasn't exposed in his territory."
