Dear Broom Knight

Unless he received an absolute promise, Lowry wouldn't easily budge, even with King's hint, let alone send the Tiger's Blade Adventurer group to Montes Castle in his name.

With major events clearly brewing in the Montes Territory, Lowry wouldn't easily let any adventurer group registered under his Baron Gethzal Territory go there.

Neither in this life nor the previous one was he the type to take the blame for others.

Although Leon acted like a reckless, brainless brute, in reality, he was a magnificent lion capable of fighting fiercely.

He might be lazy most of the time, perhaps even unable to hunt down prey, only managing to slap at it a couple of times at the end, but when faced with a formidable enemy threatening the pride, he could fight like ten men, both crazed and rational, until the very end.

But no matter how crazy he seemed, in the past dozen years, the Tiger's Blade Adventurer group had been thriving while never losing any of their own… it's not to say they hadn't had deaths while completing missions, but their own people were always fine.

The deaths always happened next door.

Anyone with a bit of sense understood that this was definitely not just good luck.

Even the best luck wouldn't be enough to cover the entire adventurer group.

And while the Tiger's Blade Adventurer group had two obvious masterminds and a hidden strategist, the first reaction of the members when encountering problems was always to look at Leon.

Leon chuckled, looking at the very cautious young baron in front of him: "Don't worry, I won't go to the Earl's castle, it won't affect your mother's safety, and it's even less likely to bring you a reputation for malicious parricide."

Lowry smiled noncommittally.

Not malicious?

Even if it was 'accidental manslaughter,' even if it was the useless eldest and second sons who died, would he have a good reputation?

Even if others believed that Lowry was just the one being used, one possibility was that the dirty water would be splashed on Mrs. Yagris, and the other was that Lowry would forever be burdened with the reputation of being a useless person easily manipulated.

Although he was willing to do something for His Majesty the King, who had always been quite friendly to him, it absolutely couldn't affect his own interests.

The greatest sincerity Lowry could offer was to turn himself into a good employee of a certain company.

As long as the salary was in place, there was no overtime or unpaid work, and the superiors assigning tasks never acted recklessly, then even if he had to participate in boring meetings and waste time on team-building activities, Lowry could be a good employee, considering that the company clearly had a promising future.

Don't think that he used to be a freelancer who earned a decent living, but when he was rushing to meet deadlines late at night and had to discuss things with stupid clients who didn't know what they wanted, Lowry actually envied those classmates who entered big companies.

Especially those that would definitely pay overtime.

Of course, only at that time.

After all, even the best company would conduct massive layoffs when facing a downturn.

A pure artist was the first to be unlucky.

However, the Kingdom of the North was bound to last a long time.

Although Lowry, as a mage, would certainly have a long lifespan, he didn't think he could outlive His Majesty the King, who shared the same fate as the White Dragon.

This was also the reason why Lowry had always been respectful to His Majesty the King… he already had shares in a Fortune 500 company, no, a top-five company, so why consider anything else?

He never thought about starting his own business.

Don't think that Lowry's previous life wasn't so comfortable, but he had food, drink, and a place to live, and he had some savings in his pocket, which was much better than those 'online colleagues' who earned more than him but insisted on starting their own businesses.

People, you have to recognize yourself. Someone who can't even be the protagonist of a farming novel, why are they thinking about fighting for kingship?

Since Lowry recognized everything so clearly, then the starting point of all his actions would inevitably be to protect himself first.

Lowry would naturally not agree to something like this that might affect his future job.

But he wouldn't take the initiative to refuse either.

Looking at Lowry, who had a smile on his face but didn't move at all, Leon shook his head helplessly: "You're only 12 years old, how can you live more like an old fox than me?"

"If you know why I'm not talking, then… when you asked that question, did you feel your own face that even a beard couldn't penetrate?" Lowry asked with a grin.

Leon sighed very obviously: "Just a few of us need to go, Alex Dixon will stay in the barony with the reserve knights.

If we don't come back, then please have the baron directly incorporate them!

The Tiger's Blade Adventurer group can become a swan song, but lives don't have to."

Lowry tilted his head: "Are you eyeing my knight's equipment? Your adventurer group should be able to afford it, right?"

Looking at the young baron who wouldn't budge, Leon twitched his mouth: "Don't act like you don't want those people, the barony definitely doesn't have any knight candidates with clearer backgrounds than our adventurer group's kids!

Moreover, there are also some scholars and bards in there!"

"No swordsmen?" Lowry asked curiously.

"Who would become a swordsman if they had a way out?" Leon suddenly became old-fashioned.

Although his words were very extreme, they were also quite realistic.

In this world dominated by knight warfare, even if the power of bloodline awakened was not suitable for becoming a knight relying on strength, most people would choose to become agility-based knights.

Instead of changing direction and becoming a fragile swordsman who could easily die without returning.

The profession of swordsman would only have people willing to follow if they saw a path forward… but in this world with limits, every celebrated swordsman was no different from an assassin who was bound to die as soon as they made a move.

Of course, thieves, who had even less presence in other worlds, were even more miserable… they could only be thieves.

Without legendary thieves, assassination wasn't something that had to be done by them.

The reason why swordsmen still had a presence was because there was a group of agility-based awakeners with harder bones who, when unable to enter the national army, neither wanted their future to become a gun in someone else's hand, nor were willing to have their fate decided by others, nor wanted to kneel to anyone.

Therefore, even though life was more difficult and it was much harder to advance to become a professional, some adventurer groups still had swordsmen.
