Dear Broom Knight

But for the caravans, this was a big problem.

Most of the adventure groups by the sea were followers of the Dark Night!

Even the adventure groups belonging to the Church of Wealth and the Church of Earth would have them.

Moreover, the Frost Lands didn't really welcome people from the Church of Wealth, and ordinary followers of Wealth might be subjected to some extra scrutiny.

Although those from the Church of Earth were barely acceptable, it wasn't the case everywhere.

Besides, there really weren't any adventure groups purely composed of Earth followers… The only thing they would do after forming groups was to find a suitable place to start their greening journey.

They wouldn't wander around aimlessly when they had nothing to do, let alone go on adventures.

Then, Lowry's adventure groups had a good business line.

The vast majority of adventurers in the Northern Lands were followers of the Lord of Storms, and a small number also accepted the teachings of the Lord of Courage while believing in the Lord of Storms.

The Lord of Frost had no objections to either of these.

Although the most important thing for these adventure groups was to develop the Great Ice Mountain, after all, if they could find a shallow layer of Mystic Ice mine there, the adventure group would definitely make a fortune.

But if they only needed to dispatch a portion of their people for an escort mission lasting only about a month, everyone would be quite willing.

Who wouldn't want to have a safety net while gambling on luck!

But what criteria could caravans from foreign lands use to select guards?

Maple Leaf Badges, and team outposts that could prove that they either had extremely high credibility, or were rich and powerful while also having sufficient credit guarantees.

As for the adventure groups they brought from the South, there was no objection either.

Who would be unwilling to avoid courting death?

Just treat it as if they had gained a month of respite! They could also take a stroll around the Great Ice Mountain, and who knows, someone might make a small fortune.

They were even very willing to strive for a Maple Leaf Badge, which seemed to be a kind of honor in the South.

The Church of the Dark Night, the Church of Earth, Scroll Mountain, and even the Church of Wealth, reportedly believed that people with Maple Leaf Badges had at least integrity… However, Lowry felt that the guys over there thought that people who could get badges could at least restrain themselves in the face of huge profits.

People with a bottom line, even if their nature is not very good, are enough.

It's not like they need to make friends with them.

Then, those adventurers who really insisted on adhering to the rules of Green Maple Territory for many years could basically stay in the Outer Valley.

And those adventure groups and newcomers, or adventurers who just wanted to keep their bottom line, all stayed in the camps outside the valley… Even so, the number of people was increasing.

Therefore, these small buildings outside Green Maple Valley expanded from a dozen at the beginning to dozens now.

If Lowry didn't know that among those newcomers, there must be some who couldn't bear to spend money before they had earned it, and left half of the external camp as a tent area, there might be even more.

Although there was definitely a little sympathy from the working class, Lowry did this mainly because he didn't suddenly have a burst of kindness.

He always remembered why he set up this camp and the Maple Leaf Badge in the first place.

If you want your territory to be stable and peaceful, then there cannot be a large number of unstable factors near the territory.

As long as there are corresponding values to prove their ability, intelligent creatures will naturally feel that they have a natural connection with the place that set the values.

Just like Lowry, who hated authority so much back then, would never allow anyone to humiliate his alma mater or belittle the institutions that issued him various certificates… including the online platform that proved his painting skills.

Certificates, and the scores on the certificates, are affirmations of people in any world.

Who would hate the institution that issued the certificate to the affirmed person?

Lowry doesn't need them to fight for Green Maple Territory, as long as they feel that fighting Green Maple Territory is damaging their own interests, and don't join in.

Currently, this goal has been achieved very well.

Sitting at his desk, looking at the annual summary, Lowry nodded with satisfaction and put away the investigation reports.

"Let's leave it at that for this year! You guys should also take a good rest this winter." Lowry looked up at his subordinates sitting in front of him, "You are all above level 10, and I don't have anything to worry about, so even if you want to go out for a walk, there's no problem."

"Baron…" Ceska smiled helplessly, "Actually, there's really nothing fun outside."

"Huh? Didn't you buy a lot of things?" Lowry asked in surprise.

Since the caravans have come to Green Maple Territory, it is naturally impossible for them to come for nothing.

They basically prepare a few carts of goods separately for trading with Green Maple Valley.

Merchants only carry goods, and try not to trade directly with money.

Carrying too much money is the biggest disaster.

Moreover, the specialties of Green Maple Territory are also very good.

Although not much can be distributed to the caravans because of the strong local purchasing power, if the caravans can get the Maple Leaf Badge, then they can reserve a little.

Although the mage apprentices of the Green Maple Lord are not very strong, their ability to make strange objects, especially the ability to replicate some of the Lord's original strange objects, is quite good.

Although the level is not high, it is suitable for caravans to sell… On the contrary, few caravans dare to resell the good things made by Lord Lowry himself.

That's really dangerous.

If there is a real need, it is better to pay a huge sum of money to ask the Gale Wolf Caravan to deliver the goods to your door!

At least the goods can reach your own door.

Of course, in order to have a good relationship with the locals, basically all caravans will take out a small portion of the goods for retail and low-price promotions.

It looks very lively, but in essence, it is just earning a shouting fee.

The people of Green Maple Ridge have naturally gained a lot of knowledge.

Lowry remembered that Ceska and the others liked some goods from the seaside very much.

For example, jewelry made of pearls and shells.

Lowry also has a lot of pearls in his hand, but they are all high-quality goods, and it is a waste to use one more. It is impossible to use them to make those beautiful and fashionable little things.

Moreover, the shapes of magic pearls are basically standard, big and round, which is completely different from the irregular pearl jewelry that Ceska and the others like.

Lowry thought they would like to go to the South to take a look!

Just in time, because the Lord of Knowledge finally suppressed the rebels under his command, he plans to hold a grand New Year's party in the largest scholar city near Scroll Mountain.

Unlike the Northern Territory, which is completely sealed off as soon as winter comes, the New Year in the South is a good day to go out. The sun is not so intense, and people from the Northern Territory who are afraid of heat can also spend it.

Lowry thought Ceska and the others would be interested!

Valera, sitting in the corner, couldn't help but laugh: "Lord Baron, although we like small pearls, it doesn't mean we have to know what shells look like!"

"Don't want to go at all?" Lowry looked around.

Even Komlan kept his head down, determined not to give himself a chance to meet Lowry's eyes.

Lowry shook his head: "Then forget it, if you don't want to go, then don't go."

"Baron, is there any task that needs someone to go there?" Ceska thought for a while and still asked.

"No." Lowry quickly waved his hand, "It's just replying to a letter.

If one of you goes, then it would definitely be more formal to have the person who goes deliver it.

But it doesn't have to be that formal.

Scroll Mountain also asked someone to send it along when they were doing serious business."

He looked at the few subordinates who had finally raised their heads because of curiosity, finally not letting him see the back of their heads, and shook his head helplessly: "Although the matter was done by the rebels, they also used the ability of Scroll Mountain, and relied on the power of the God of Knowledge.

The God of Knowledge, who cleaned up the rebels, must give the Lord of Storms, who was harmed, an explanation!

Mortals can't see the intersection above the starry sky, so naturally they have to do something that mortals can see to apologize.

As someone who was accidentally involved, I naturally also received an apology statement."

"What about compensation?" Ceska asked keenly, "You didn't tell me to record this matter, is there no compensation?"

An absurd expression appeared on her face: "Only an apology letter?

The newly appointed manager of Scroll Mountain, is he crazy!"

"It's better not to do this as a side job." Valera also found it unbelievable.

"So, I also plan to reply politely." Lowry replied calmly.

"Baron, do you know the reason?" Valera quickly reacted.

"Scroll Mountain is now very poor." Lowry smiled, "The former Pope who wanted to become a god scraped the ground three meters high!"

"Huh?" Maru scratched his head, "How high is the sky?"

Charles said leisurely: "Scroll Mountain is three meters shorter."

"Wow! They even dug up the soil!"

"Almost." Lowry smiled, "Isn't Scroll Mountain covered with paper grass that can be used to make low-level scrolls?

He shoveled it all up.

Now Scroll Mountain wants to make magic scrolls to sell for money, it has to wait a year."

They are so poor that they can't even afford blank scrolls.

"But, this Scroll Mountain still doesn't value you very much, that's why they apologized like this.

I don't believe he only sent a letter to the Lord of Storms." Ceska said sharply.

"I don't really care about that." Lowry waved his hand, "I don't think I can compare myself to the gods."

"They might as well not send it." Valera sneered.

"Yes, so I also plan to reply with a letter." Lowry said calmly, "Stating that I know."

"Just write these four words?" Ceska blinked.

"It's three words: I know.

If none of you are going to the South to play, then this letter can be finalized."

"No, definitely not!" Ceska replied decisively, "Who would go there to suffer!"
