Dear Broom Knight

Each of these events represents internal strife within the Storm Temple.

Ezra pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "What does it have to do with us?"

Bowen looked up, thinking: "That depends on what the Lord of Storms thinks."

They tacitly avoided mentioning the most crucial thing, the real reason for Selestia's drastic change in expression.

If more Storm Knights die on the battlefield, but they aren't from the Macmillan family, Selestia might worry about movements in the main temple, but with her demonstrated composure, she wouldn't let people see it so easily.

What truly frightened her was something that even the Lord of Storms would consider a threat.

The Storm Knights' rings are symbols of their identity, bestowed by the Lord of Storms.

On the day they successfully join the Storm Knights, a cyan gemstone ring, formed from endless compressed wind pressure, silently appears on the ring finger of each Storm Knight.

It looks like a jade ring formed in one piece, but in reality, almost nothing can harm it.

It can only be removed from their hands when the owner falls, and even then, it cannot be worn again except by those related to them by blood.

Of course, if the descendants fail to become Storm Knights, then the Storm Ring's original ability to help the knight blend into the wind and summon a hurricane cannot be activated again. It can only increase the knights' agility and ensure they aren't blown away by strong winds.

The Storm Ring is, after all, a standard ring, more of a proof of identity. Its basic attributes only qualify as a high-level magical item, and it's a divine artifact. Although many people are quite envious, they wouldn't be jealous enough to attack them for it.

It is precisely because of the Storm Ring's exclusivity that most Storm Knights die on the front lines.

However, even if they mysteriously died in a closed-off area unknown even to the Lord of Storms, no one could take the ring from their body, let alone replace their identity.

The most abnormal thing about Watson's words is this.

He sent a Storm Ring to High Priest Schroeder... How did he send it?

They will even temporarily turn a blind eye to Baron Watson... anyway, he will definitely be finished.

A mortal, whether he is willing or unwillingly drawn into a divine conflict, is lucky to die quickly.

Moreover, the royal nobles, who have been fighting openly and secretly with gods and their church followers for so many years, understand the ways of these gods best... even if they are treacherous, they won't just grab someone and make them do this kind of work.

They are all gradual, inducing those greedy guys to take the bait willingly.

They are dealing with another god; a forced melon is not only not sweet, but it will explode.

At this point, how much of Baron Watson belongs to himself is really hard to say.

At least, according to the logic of normal people, he would never say such provocative words in front of a Storm Knight who can directly transmit his prayers to his own main god.

After Lowry broke the connection, he frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly spoke softly: "Lord of Storms, are you still there?"

A small whirlwind immediately swayed into his study.

Although the Lord of Storms can appear anywhere in Lowry Castle regardless of the circumstances, he maintained respect for Lowry.

The Lord of Storms would make an entrance gesture in the bedroom, study, and some more private corners.

Instead of manifesting directly.

He had never even been to Mrs. Yagris's manor.

Although Lowry was still very bothered by his presence, he somewhat understood why the Lord of Storms was so popular with strong-willed kings and nobles.

Even if the Storm Church is still a deadbeat, it is really the tallest among the dwarfs in the churches of the gods.

Lowry didn't think that his status and position had the value to make the Lord of Storms back down, it could only be that this true god was indeed very cultivated.

Even if it's just lip service, at least he's willing to do it.

Therefore, Lowry is very willing to give him a reminder without affecting himself.

After briefly and quickly explaining what had just happened, Lowry said solemnly: "I think their purpose is to let you know about this.

Not to use Selestia to provoke your anger towards High Priest Schroeder.

This... is it to make you go over there?"

The Lord of Storms moved slightly, giving him a response: "Schroeder, although he has a lot of selfishness, he has never lost the protection of the power of the Storm."

Lowry immediately understood what he meant... High Priest Schroeder had already told him about this.

"I don't like him." The Lord of Storms suddenly laughed, "What I have more of is the persistence and firmness of the storm.

His kind of behavior can never gain my approval.

But, the wind never has a set pattern.

Lowry, you have always been sensitive to the perception of the wind, you should also understand this!

Wind is everywhere, wind is everything.

With me, there are naturally others.

It's just that what remains on the earth can only be me.

The other part will only mess things up.

So, he did report it, but not to me."

Lowry stared wide-eyed in confusion... Is that even possible?

"Don't think of me and me as two existences, Lowry." The Lord of Storms chuckled, "I can tell you the reason directly.

I know who is behind that Watson, but I can't say it at this time.

This is a conspiracy.

If I hadn't discovered his trail and really went to find it, I might have impulsively said his name.

Lowry, do you know why the High Tower and the Frost have been moving but have never done anything too outrageous?

Lowry naturally knew about this: "They are waiting for the world's will to recover."

The existence who decisively took away most of the gods before his fall was indeed terrifying for the evil gods.

They are now in a state of doing evil, but not daring to do great evil, to avoid the moment the world's will recovers, and immediately attack them.

If one of them loses his mind and blatantly causes destruction, then the other will naturally be relieved to go his own way.

But although these two are making a lot of noise, they are both waiting for the other to make the first move.

As a result, the world, which should have been in great chaos, has become particularly stable, as if only humans are still scheming and plotting against each other.

Even the Rainwater, well, or rather, Her Majesty the Queen of the Icefield Kingdom, didn't make much of a fuss, seemingly only preoccupied with her husband's philandering and frantically hoarding gold coins.

However, in reality, everyone suspected she wasn't quite right.

After all, Sophia of Seberfia, whom she took in, had been quite well-behaved for many years, diligently working to fatten the Queen's purse.

That was the biggest abnormality.

After learning of Seberfia's existence, Alex had directly approached his Queen and lodged a stern protest.

He had married a princess from the Northlands and given her so many rights, but not to provoke the King of the Northlands.

However, this matter ended quietly.

His Majesty Travis didn't have much of a reaction after receiving Alex's letter of apology.

He even expressed understanding, presenting himself as a maternal grandfather... According to the conventions of national marriages, he should have stood in the position of a father-in-law.

But Travis and Alex completely ignored this identity, reverting to their previous roles when communicating with each other.

It was as if the past twenty years had never existed.

It was utterly absurd.

Yet, the ministers and nobles of both countries seemed to have suddenly changed, completely turning a blind eye to the King's unusual behavior, let alone protesting as they had in the past.

Then, this Icefield Queen became particularly like herself, immersing herself in palace infighting, unable to extricate herself.

Although the Church of the Night also sent almost twenty Dark Moons again... which was practically their entire force.

Although there's no concept of retirement for Dark Moons, after they get old, their mission is to guard the main shrine, and they almost never go out again.

And most of the young, less combat-capable trainees are still lurking in various countries.

The real top-tier combat power is only about thirty or so.

Even if Rainwater completely occupied that body, she wouldn't dare to show it.

Each Dark Moon has the potential to become the sacred body of the Night Goddess, allowing this goddess to possess them.

So, the situation there is also at a stalemate... Even if everyone thinks that it is the Rainwater Goddess, without evidence, and without being able to discern the aura, even the most unscrupulous Night Goddess doesn't dare to directly attack.

Compared to the Evil Gods, the Night Goddess is more worried about whether her actions will be detrimental to future development.

His Majesty Travis dared to complete the succession of the throne at this time because he finally understood the state of these gods.

The Master of the Tower and the Master of Frost, and even the Rainwater Goddess, would instead be afraid of him causing trouble.

After all, even if everyone knows that Travis has the opportunity to become a god, he hasn't embarked on the path to godhood yet!

He is now the most carefree, after all, he can switch his path at any time.

The whole world has therefore seen a kind of unusual vigorous development... Even robberies have become less frequent than in the past.

However, the number of people awakening their professional talents is increasing.

The opening of the world seems to be a momentary thing, but in essence, it has long been raining softly and silently.

The Lord of Storms said frankly: "They have become smarter, and those who like to fish in troubled waters are anxious."

"Although they are still using those two former subordinates, they are people that both sides have given up on."

He suddenly leaned close to Lorry: "Actually, Lorry, you know, right?

"From the moment they mentioned Kyle, you knew that Watson had nothing to do with the Master of the Tower."

Lorry nodded frankly: "Kyle should be going to handle some, um, personal matters."

Lorry still understood his nephew quite well.

Competitive and stubborn, proud and vengeful.

Many people say he's like Lorry, but Lorry doesn't feel that way at all.

Lorry only needs his enemies to die, but Kyle is the kind of extremist who must make the other party die in his own hands.

Although on the surface, Kyle's greatest hatred should be for his second brother and his biased mother.

But Kyle is not Lorry, and he can't easily get rid of the illusion of blood ties.

Even if he personally killed his parents and brothers, Kyle's greatest hatred would not be for them.

Or rather, he is unwilling to accept that he was not only ignored by his parents, but even disliked by them.

Then he will definitely find someone who sowed discord in their family.

The second brother is one, but what about the second brother... Just like Fabrice said, he's nothing.

Kyle is so smart that it's hard to convince himself to believe that the second brother is the reason.

Therefore, what he hates even more is the second uncle and the second uncle's wife who often satirize his mother using him as an excuse.

Especially this second aunt.

Ever since Miss Baer became pregnant, she often pointed fingers while holding her belly.

Her status is just so-so, and her sarcasm can only be indirect. When she encounters Lorry passing by, she has to quickly change the subject, lest this grumpy young master misunderstand... Lorry considers himself a child and is not old enough to be courteous to ladies. He scolds when he needs to.

Pregnant ladies don't get any special treatment from him. Anyway, he doesn't lay a hand on them.

Lorry's words are always very beautiful, so mean to the extreme without a single curse word. In fact, you could even say that he just said a little more truth.

Moreover, although Mrs. Yagris has never cared about them, Pat won't. She is definitely petty.

Pat knows very well how to disgust people in inconspicuous places.

Miss Baer has a belly full of 'passion' and doesn't know how to splash it out... She definitely knows that her child is different, but she just doesn't know exactly how.

Thinking that she would soon give birth to a son who was even stronger than Lorry Montes, even comparable to the White Dragon King, she was inflated and timid.

After thinking about it, she still went to play with her sister-in-law.

And Fabrice's biological mother, whose temper was not very good in the first place, had long wanted to abandon her bridge and was unlikely to accept this.

During that time, there were jokes to be heard in the left wing of the castle every day... Although Mrs. Yagris didn't care much about those, Pat liked them very much, so many maids would chat with her.

Lorry, who was wandering around, also heard a part of it.

That part alone made him deeply suspect that his biological father had lost his mind, and he still didn't separate the Masud family, and even let them eat at the same table every day!

Even if he really wanted to use Masud and the others to test his eldest son's tolerance and temperament, it was too reckless.

Could it be that he really thought that with Lorry's shared hatred, the two of them could maintain a certain amount of sanity?

Even if the two of them are okay, are their wives okay?

The most unlucky of them was Kyle, who was often used as an excuse by the Masud family to satirize the eldest son's family for not being human.

After they finished babbling, they patted their butts and went back to their rooms, leaving only Kyle, an eight-year-old child, to accept the storm.

After Kyle became 'Kyle', he naturally understood where Miss Baer's arrogance came from.

With his character, even if he didn't have the ability to deal with the Ice Dog King, he would definitely kill all the Ice Cultists who caused all of this.

Since that group of people went to Watson's territory, he must have chased after them.

The Master of the Tower would not stop him from doing this.

If you want Kyle to completely become his 'body', you must try to reduce some of Kyle's stubbornness and persistence.

Lorry didn't say anything at first because he felt that with the Master of the Tower's character, it was impossible for him to go to Baron Watson's place for nothing.

But if he discovered some traces that even the Lord of Storms was unwilling to mention, then it would be normal for him to come and go quickly.

This guy especially cherishes his current little life and basically won't take any risks.

And the reason why the gods are like this is because their current imprints are the traces that the will of the world will read after it revives.

To the will of the world, the righteous gods and evil gods that existed before this are all his own gods.

As long as you don't touch his bottom line, when he has already revived and can judge for himself, his tolerance will be higher.

But those names that appear after his revival are likely to be foreign gods.

He may not care whether they are outsiders, but his vigilance against outsiders will definitely be very high.

The Lord of Storms is not afraid of the gods behind Watson, but he is unwilling to give this guy a chance to 'hitch a ride'.
