Dear Broom Knight

Arslan had long noticed that Travis had been acting a bit strange lately.

Although this guy had always been unscrupulous and greedy, he had never been like this, with bad ideas practically bubbling out of him.

It's just that Travis could still restrain himself. Although he would scheme about his own people, he wouldn't actually take action.

Just like he said just now, as long as Lorry could resist the urge to throw himself into this mess, Travis wouldn't try to drag Lorry down with him.

But Travis couldn't control his desire to stir the muddy waters even deeper.

Arslan had practically watched Travis grow into who he was today, and he understood the White Dragon King very well... If it were the old him, he would never have involved O'Kinsey and Costa for the sake of such selfish and trivial thoughts.

Moreover, he wouldn't have allowed Ezra to overthink things over there.

If Travis wanted to use someone, he would never create artificial trials.

He had always been confident in his own judgment and abilities, and his character was to trust those he used and not to use those he doubted.

However, Arslan couldn't say much.

He had somewhat guessed the reason for Travis's current state.

This guy had originally planned to be the King of the North for a century or two, so even though he knew he would leave one day, Travis still engaged in deep spiritual resonance with the royal family's magical array.

Of course, previous kings would also do this, after all, they would definitely die in office.

But the kings, who were always knights, had limited spiritual power, so even if the fusion was deep, it wouldn't have much impact.

At most, it would add some seasoning to the awakening array.

Travis's spiritual power certainly couldn't be compared to mages of the same level, but because of the alliance with Ruth Kania, his spiritual power was actually comparable to a level 10 archmage.

At most, it wasn't as pure and condensed as a mage's, but he definitely had it.

This led to the biggest problem: Travis's connection with the array was a bit too deep.

Travis wasn't unaware of the flaws in this, but compared to slowly withdrawing from the exchange, at most sacrificing a small portion of his spiritual power, he cared more about the benefits he gained.

His Majesty King Travis was so well-informed because his authority over the Great Magical Array of the Northern Kingdom was extremely high, and no regional magical array could refuse his visit.

The reason why some nobles in the past two or three decades were unwilling to build awakening arrays in their castles, even if they had enough resources and money, was probably related to the nobles understanding this matter.

They might not be able to guess how much Travis could actually do, but at least they knew that their primary magical arrays definitely had no power to resist.

Of course, border earls and grand dukes were still relatively calm.

They basically divided the area where the magical array was located, and with their level of magical array, they didn't need to care too much about these things.

Travis could only glean some clues from some scraps.

What really worked was his adequate brain and cunning heart.

If it were someone else, they wouldn't necessarily be able to piece together some truth from those messy pieces of information.

Travis had always trusted and admired Lorry, and it was also related to the fact that this child had no ulterior motives.

That child had never thought of guarding against the king's eyes.

When you think about it, what could a small noble do?

How much effort could Travis spend paying attention to these barons who could never come to the forefront!

Travis looked down on people who would abandon the future of their territory just for a 'what if'.

He admired Lorry's type more... That child wasn't unaware that the awakening array might allow the capital to obtain some information, but he was confident enough that Travis would never be able to get what he didn't want Travis to know.

Lorry did indeed achieve this.

Openly refusing the prying eyes of outsiders, and dutifully doing what a proper noble should do... Lorry shouldn't have been involved in these disgusting messes.

Fortunately, Lorry wasn't involved.

There was no need to stare at it like this.

The only reason Travis suddenly gave this task to Arslan was: in order to include Leon in the list of array leaders on the day he returned to the palace, Travis severed his spiritual link with the array.

As a mage, Arslan understood best the kind of pain that spiritual shocks or even damage could cause.

Constant throbbing pain, constant emptiness, a feeling like never being able to fill his stomach... It could really drive people crazy.

The fact that Travis could be like this now, occasionally bursting out with a little malice, unable to restrain his greed, and unable to control the resentment of wanting to make things difficult for others, showed that his control was already pretty good.

Therefore, although Arslan had always wanted to explode, he had always held back.

Although he knew that those who were implicated because of Travis's instability were innocent, between Travis and those people, even if there was Ezra, Arslan would only choose to stand by Travis's side!

Moreover, Arslan calmed his mind... If Ezra wasn't tempted by those illusory things and stuck to the promise he had already made, then there wouldn't be any problems.

Travis was just unstable, but he hadn't reached the point of losing control. Even if he felt some dissatisfaction with Ezra's wavering heart, he would still let Ezra off the hook for the sake of their past relationship.

The reason why Ezra dared to have such thoughts wasn't because Travis had been too much of a king in the past few years?

If it were Travis's father, Arslan's narrow-minded, vicious, jealous, suspicious, isolated, and neurotic brother, how could Ezra dare to waver at this time?

Finally convincing himself, Arslan threw himself back into work... He wasn't just working so hard to help Travis.

He, who wanted to build his own fortress in the starry sky, needed to have a sufficient understanding of this kind of monitoring array.

He couldn't have touched such deep mysteries before.

"How are you?" Ruth Kania asked gently, leaning against Travis's forehead, "Does your head still hurt?"

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt that much anymore." Travis closed his eyes, trying to absorb the warmth from Ruth Kania's body, "It's just that I always feel cold."

"This is because your soul has been damaged. Why are you suddenly in such a hurry?" Ruth Kania asked in confusion, "Although I can help you share most of the damage, I really can't help you much with soul splitting..."

Didn't you say that it would take Leon at least three months to return to the capital?

"I don't know why... Ruth Kania..." Travis pondered, "I always feel that I should solve all of this before Leon and the others come back, including alleviating the pain and other things."

"Leon has a problem?" Ruth Kania, who had been closing her eyes and trying to help Travis balance his spiritual sea, suddenly opened her eyes, her silver eyes rippling with killing intent, faintly glowing blue, "Or is it his subordinates... Travis, you don't have to tolerate these things!

Even if you don't want to expose anything, I can find other ways to deal with them!

As long as you are still here, the Northern Kingdom will at most be unenterprising, but it won't be destroyed.

Then what are you still worried about?

"My sense of crisis comes from them, but it's not them." Travis said quietly, "Yesterday, this sense of crisis reached its peak."

"Yesterday?" Ruth Kania thought for a while, "That group of bats?

It shouldn't be?

Haven't we already dug out their secrets in the past two years!

Although they are not easy to deal with, they shouldn't give you a sense of crisis, right?

Lorry can handle them."

Travis shook his head: "Maybe it has nothing to do with them, but with their enemies?

After all, in that war that collapsed the world, it's impossible for both sides of the battle to have died completely, right?

Maybe, there are even beings who have recovered and are watching us from the outside!

They couldn't have imagined that our world is the easiest place for those lingering gods to hide, or even regain themselves."

Ruth Kania hesitated for a while before saying: "But I really don't think that any god in the multiverse would be so unforgettable about an enemy from ten thousand years ago.

It's not that they don't want to, but they won't only have this one enemy.

In a situation surrounded by enemies, an enemy who has to go through a resurrection path is really not that important.

After all... it's not that easy to go from a weak divine power back to strength.

There is no such precedent in my inherited memories either."

Travis looked up and thought: "There are still too few samples.

Unfortunately, Lorry is still too young, and I can't ask him for help."

Ruth Kania nodded slightly: "That's true.

By the way, you seem to like mentioning Lorry lately?

Hasn't Arslan misunderstood?

"He's just short of using a fireball to burn my head." Travis smiled strangely.

"Isn't Arslan helping you manage the monitoring array?" Ruth Kania asked in confusion, "Aren't you afraid of teasing him too much and he'll just quit!

There's no one else in the palace that you can trust so much.

Fortunately, that Yuri is coming back."

Travis said casually: "That's something Leon needs to consider, it has nothing to do with me.

I didn't mean to tease Arslan.

Ruth Kania.

I've been having some emotional problems lately, and sometimes everyone seems to be separated by a layer of紗.

Only Arslan can let my eyes see the most vivid appearance.

I can also feel the positive emotions he releases towards me."
