Dear Broom Knight

Those rules that almost reach the chivalric virtues, if you really want to abide by them, you need to have the ability… For example, when a certain nobleman dares to withhold an adventurer's commission fee, you need to have the power to force him to hand it over.

Adventurer guilds might be able to do this.

Lone wolves can basically only choose to retaliate afterward.

Over time, everyone basically treats the adventurer's code as a get-rich guide.

As long as you're not caught, violating each rule can bring huge profits.

However, the lord of Qingfeng Territory, the famous mad mage Lowry, is truly, truly a pit!

The adventurers can even sympathize with those noble forces… Are you sick?

In a lawless place like the Great Ice Mountain, everyone naturally does their own thing. Whoever can trick or deceive anyone, that's their skill!

But that mage Lowry actually deducts points according to the rules.

And he can actually discover everything.

In the sky, the birds in the clouds are all the eyes of this lord.

At first, the adventurers who had points deducted dared to protest.

As a result, when their specific violations were pointed out, including the exact date and time, they could only change their expressions and turn to flee.

Although some things are tacitly accepted by adventurers.

There is also a common bottom line: don't get caught.

Adventurers are all gifted individuals. No one knows if some unlucky guy will have a prodigal child.

When it comes to revenge, even without evidence, suspicion is enough.

Although this lord's subordinates have shown some leniency and haven't made things too clear.

But as long as you know the time, combined with the death date of a certain unlucky fellow, you can actually guess what happened.

From then on, no one ever questioned the changes in their credit points again, and they even tried their best to prevent anyone from noticing that their credit points had changed.

In the past two years, the maple leaf badge of Qingfeng Valley has almost become a proof of integrity for adventurers… It's useless not to register for a long time. If you don't go for three months, the credit points will be directly sealed. If you still don't go after the six-month limit of living in the Great Ice Mountain, they will simply be reset to zero.

Of course, some people may be particularly strong and not leave the Great Ice Mountain for a year.

But Qingfeng Valley can record these people… The sealing period of their credit points will be automatically extended.

Mage Lowry's eyes have never been deceived.

According to a certain great adventurer, if someone hides so perfectly that the birds can't find them, Lord Lowry will ride his broom and appear in the sky himself.

Nothing can block his eyes.

Fortunately, he only confirms whether people are there and whether they have done anything they shouldn't have. He doesn't care about anything else at all.

In fact, the great adventurers' demands for Qingfeng Valley are not too high.

Their own magic tents are not comparable to the low-level magic items sold in Qingfeng Valley.

But they need a certain existence in Qingfeng Valley to save their lives.

Bolanios, that powerful male white dragon.

If an adventurer's credit score reaches one hundred, they can directly ignite a feather hidden in the maple leaf badge, sacrificing all the points and paying an extremely expensive commission fee to ask this white dragon to save their lives.

That is the contract given out when the maple leaf badge is issued, and no one can violate it.

Besides, no one dares to.

Ordinary adventurers certainly don't have this need… It also takes a little time to ignite this thing.

Besides, single adventurers who are ambushed and killed have almost no chance of accumulating a hundred points.

Even those who can always maintain a passing grade can receive noble tasks when they go out.

Those merchant groups also use the score on the Qingfeng badge as a criterion when they lack manpower and need to temporarily hire adventurers.

Therefore, the merchant camp outside Qingfeng Valley has almost formed two tent towns.

When Lowry set it up, the fences could automatically expand outward.

But he didn't expect that one day, the tent area would actually expand to the riverbank.

Probably because Lowry didn't give His Majesty Travis enough face, and he had a bad relationship with the two members of the Icefield royal family, so some people felt that they could do it again.

In the eyes of these people, the Great Ice Mountain was abandoned by Lowry himself, so he definitely couldn't go back on his word because of these messy things.

And as long as Lowry can be suppressed, then the hilly area between him and those inland neighbors, the part that directly leads to the Great Ice Mountain, will naturally be controlled by these nobles.

They wanted to create a black town like that at Lowry's door.

Who can live well with a black market full of evil deeds at their door?

Lowry really felt that these people underestimated him too much.

Not to mention that he has countless ways to solve this kind of trivial matter, just… when it's really necessary, he can also endure humiliation and temporarily be shameless.

The only good thing about this incident is that Lowry's attitude towards Travis has improved a bit.

Although that King's Majesty does have his own little thoughts and wants to test some of Lowry's privacy, he is not completely unconcerned about Lowry.

Those riots that occurred after the Great Ice Mountain became a public area must have been known to this Majesty long ago.

This is the most troublesome part of people like Travis: they are not completely good, nor are they completely bad.

But as long as you don't have any real feelings for him, you can still get along harmoniously.

The method Lowry originally considered was not as troublesome as it is now.

How do the US and Russia play in the Middle East? Just do the same!

He doesn't care whether the people in the Great Ice Mountain can live well.

But Lowry quickly realized that this Great Ice Mountain, which was thrown out by the Icefield Kingdom, and the ice dog breeding base, might also have major problems in the future.

Then he certainly can't interfere too much.

Although Lowry already has some certainty about his future, he is not interested in putting on a show for others to see.

Therefore, he simply adopted the simplest method of combining credit points with magic items to coerce and lure adventurers.

In fact, adventurers are really easy to use.

After all, most of them only want to support their families, and at most have a good future… to cultivate a good child and bring the whole family to heaven.

And the most important thing among these is how to safely return home after earning money.

At first, their emphasis on credit points was only for security and occasional relaxation after exhausting work… After entering Qingfeng Valley, security was naturally guaranteed enough.

Many people would even find a maple tree after shopping, climb up and take a nap.

But later, the maple leaf badge brought them more possibilities.

Those foreign merchant groups who came from afar generally do not easily hire domestic adventurers.

Everyone understands the reason, and no one can guarantee that there will be no problems.

But the maple leaf badge can serve as proof.

It's not to say that the holder will never make mistakes, but that they have control.

Knowing that when there are not many opportunities, they can control the swords in their hands and not draw them randomly.

Then, in recent years, Qingfeng Valley has become much more lively because of this.

—

Standing on the high canopy of the Micro tree, Valera looked solemn, "Recently, there are more and more guests from the north."

Charles, leaning against the tree trunk, responded calmly: "Anyway, they didn't come from the Great Cliff, it has nothing to do with us."

"What the hell is Hamilton doing?" Valera continued to mutter.

"Sister Valera, are you mentally unstable because you just leveled up, so your mind is confused?" Charles asked in astonishment.

Valera gently touched her waist with one hand.

"Don't, don't~ I'm just saying it casually.

You are already level 12! Sister." Charles quickly softened.

"The Baron said before that once Rosalind takes power, she will definitely have thoughts about me." Valera put down her hand, but her eyes were fixed on a group of merchant members wearing white fur coats, "The Icefield merchant groups who came here to purchase goods some time ago were all dressed very coldly, but the recent ones are all very noble!"

Charles thought for a while: "Indeed, they are much richer than those sent by the nobles."

The Icefield Kingdom has actually had a good and bad five years.

It's bad because, under the influence of the Lord of Frost, even if the Northern Kingdom gave a lot of help, the Icefield royal family still lost control of many areas.

Even in the worst times before, those local lords nominally obeyed the Icefield royal family, and even paid some taxes more or less.

But now, it has almost completely become an independent zone.

But these places have not created independent lords, but replaced kingship with theocracy, and then the original lords cannot receive any taxes at all.

Even if the White Dragon King of the North comes in person, he can't change this situation.

Those lords voluntarily gave up their own power.

And the civilians also dedicated their land and shops to the church, and lived on the three meals a day distributed by the church.

Without transactions, there is naturally no kingdom tax.

But there are also benefits.

The Lord of Frost has always been open and impulsive.

His subordinates are naturally the same.

Although it is difficult for the Icefield royal family to deal with, the rewards after winning are very generous… No nobles are not greedy.

The only reason that can make them give up power is because the benefits they get in return are unbelievably great.

The Lord of Frost, including his subordinate Ice Dog King, are very good at finding veins.

Especially those veins that were particularly cherished in the past and could only exist under thick ice layers, the Ice and Snow Church can find them accurately.

As long as you can recover a territory, the Icefield royal family can make a fortune instantly… The property of the processed lords is more than the Icefield royal family's annual income.

Although Alex, the Icefield King, is not that strong, but, if the opponent is the Ice Church, it is really not impossible to beat.
