Dear Broom Knight

Just like Scroll Mountain harbored a group of rebels, the Lord of Knowledge acted like an innocent victim who had been betrayed, and during this troublesome period, he couldn't care about anything happening outside, as if he could only deal with his own affairs... Who knows, maybe the Lord of Earth has prepared something for himself to keep busy with?

As for whether he'll bring back some loot while he's busy, that's hard to say.

Lowry really doesn't dare to make any absolute judgments about these gods' actions.

Perhaps the Lord of Earth wouldn't do anything trashy to protect himself like his colleague in Toril, but he wouldn't do nothing either.

And places like the church, with too many humans and too much concentration, it's too normal for things to go wrong when completing divine tasks.

When countless figures of high power and status gather their selfish thoughts, things like Chief Priest Schroeder's actions are simply insignificant.

Lowry silently shook his head and gently replied, "I'll instruct Ceska to spread the word that if that mage, Almes, wants to shop, he can come directly to the commercial street outside my castle.

I can grant him and his attendants special permission.

When he leaves, I'll also have Livewing escort him directly over the Softfragrant Wood Forest."

Hamilton Earl's Castle, flying directly from his castle would only take fifteen minutes.

Although he mostly uses Livewing as a switchboard, they are actually quite strong at level 16.

Most importantly, Livewing has a teleportation function.

If they encounter an enemy that even they can't defeat together, they can instantly bring the person directly to Lowry's side.

But Lowry really doesn't think anyone would dare to cause trouble here.

It's basically impossible to instantly kill a pair of well-coordinated magical creatures at level 16.

And those who have the ability to confront Livewing head-on would have to consider the Lord of Storms wandering around Qingfeng Territory.

The gods couldn't possibly not sense the aura of the Lord of Storms.

Alsaran finally said with satisfaction, "Ah~ Luckily you're there, otherwise, I'd really be swamped."

Lowry noncommittally replied, "The royal family can't only have you as someone trustworthy, right? In a place with countless strong individuals, it's impossible that they can't even send out a few guardians.

Even if it's Leon's side..."

"There really aren't any, Lowry," Alsaran said with a wry smile. "Now, to send one person out, you need two monitors.

The queens His Majesty the King married back then were truly perfect.

Although not everyone has taken a position, many have taken the money.

They don't do it themselves, but they will, or they might accidentally slip up... or even just leak something is enough.

Therefore, those with the clearest backgrounds can only be sent to Leon's side.

Those who aren't clear... sending them to the Northern Territory would only be adding to the chaos.

This time, I really can only rely on you."

"Oh... oh..." Lowry responded vaguely, "Those princes' maternal families haven't given up yet!"

"Give up? Ha~ Har~" Alsaran laughed extremely sarcastically. "If we followed the original plan, he would abdicate in a few hundred years, then these large families would naturally have nothing to say, after all, the bones of the ambitious from back then would have weathered away.

The remaining people would have nothing to pursue, after all, the prince's children, after three generations, would very likely have no talent.

Even if there are princes still alive, they are all from inconspicuous maternal families, and even if the great nobles have no hope on their side, they wouldn't help any little devil take charge.

But now, even if the princes are old, who doesn't have a few good sons!

Isn't Leon also a son's son!

Those princes are also unwilling!

Even if they can only sit on the throne for three or five years in the end, they are still the King of the North.

Moreover, no one back then thought there would be such a day, so they didn't care about the princes' interactions with the royal guards in the palace."

Lowry exclaimed in surprise, 'Ah!'

"What's so surprising?" Alsaran scoffed. "Although they are all His Majesty the King's own sons, without the right to inherit the throne, they will soon become collateral branches.

Rather than letting their children slowly struggle to create a future like Ezra, it's better to have the children gain the favor of the royal guards from the beginning.

If one day, their talent is sufficient, they would directly become students of the guards!

Tsk tsk~ Who can be blamed for this?

The guards in the past few years all thought this idea was normal, so they definitely took money and built relationships!

If it weren't for taking you in, I might have been in this predicament too!

Thank goodness, I'm a mage and I look down on fools and trash."

He still knew that his teacher had been handling the royal palace monitoring array, and the main control room for that thing was right under the King's palace.

"It's precisely to let him hear!" Alsaran said decisively, "It's all his fault! If he hadn't been so blind... uh... causing trouble, why would everyone be so exhausted?"

"Okay~" Lowry felt that he'd better not say anything, Teacher Alsaran was clearly about to explode, "I'll arrange for Taylor to personally take Livewing to wait at the Great Cliff, and Mar and their knight order will follow."

"Very good," Alsaran said sarcastically, "At this time, the most important thing is to go all out, and never let a small matter turn into a disaster because of wishful thinking."

"Al?" Countess Hamilton was extremely surprised, "What did you just say? Bowen?

Our Al emerged from the neighboring Qingfeng Territory?"

"Yes!" Bowen quickly said, "He's alone, accompanied by two Livewings from the Qingfeng Territory Lord, and is rapidly flying towards the castle."

Although their relationship with Qingfeng Territory is 'harmonious', the Hamilton Territory opposite the Softfragrant Wood Forest is covered with monitoring arrays.

Whether Baron Lowry is truly a pacifist or not, and regardless of whether he can properly manage those magical creatures in his territory, a normal person wouldn't do nothing just because they 'think there's no problem'.

Especially in those years when dragons appeared at will, Yuri really squeezed his heart and calculated the money to desperately arrange a magic array that integrated monitoring, defense, and attack.

Although they believed in Ruskanya... the reason for believing wasn't the White Dragon Lady's self-control, but that His Majesty Travis could pull her back in time, but they didn't believe in Bolanios.

If the White Dragon could really control their greed so easily, there wouldn't have been several Dragon Slaying Wars in history.

That was still after the two sides had already ceased hostilities! The White Dragon King had even sworn in his name that his white dragons would never slaughter mortals at will again.

As a result, even the oath of the race god couldn't hold back the raging desires of those few white dragons.

If the White Dragon King hadn't really ignored it, allowing those dragons to be slaughtered and their corpses divided, only coming to retrieve the dragon pearls... it still gave many white dragons a bit of caution.

Of course, there weren't no white dragons causing trouble afterwards, but at most they would just rob, or retaliate because humans did something first... the White Dragon King still left his clan of dragons the right to fight back... and never engaged in any massacres again.

However, who isn't afraid of that 'what if'?

Besides, even if he suddenly rushes over to rob, that's still a problem!

The few domesticated ones can be temporarily ignored, but the big one hasn't been restrained.

After the Earl and Countess of Hamilton took over the control of this territory, they hadn't relaxed their vigilance on the neighbor... Yuri only needed to guard against dragons back then!

They were also worried about the Gale Wolves.

The Gezhar family's wolves actually don't have a very good reputation.

They have a fanatical love for land grabbing, it seems that any uninhabited land, as long as it has the footprints of their Gale Wolves, belongs to their territory.

Especially places with mineral resources, even though they are minerals that the Gale Wolves don't need, they will completely occupy them, not allowing humans to mine them.

It's just that in the past, most of those they scammed were storm nobles, so no one cared.

Half of the territory in Hamilton Territory hasn't been thoroughly explored yet!

Those are all former Icefield territories, although the people living on them have slowly accepted reality, and are starting to think that becoming Northerners is pretty good under the increasingly unbearable situation of their homeland, but before switching to the first generation of 'compliant people' completely disappearing, and the third generation of immigrants taking over the right to speak, the Northern nobles haven't planned to explore and develop those places.

Sometimes, too much profit makes people think that stability isn't important.

For the sake of gold mines, especially magic crystal stone mines, raising the banner of returning to the homeland again wouldn't be a problem... the Icefield Kingdom would definitely be willing to lend a hand, and it would even have to be the royal family and great nobles together.

They don't necessarily not know that these old lands can't be returned, but with this excuse, they can let the gold in the mines go back.

As for those fools who sacrifice themselves because of this... those who are so greedy that they forget who they are and whether they can protect these interests, who cares?

Except for guys like Baron Watson who have other support, most people honestly leave the opportunities to their descendants.

However, what many people believed in the past was the 'Baron Watson has high power and status in the Northern Border Army' theory, but now, what everyone believes is that he is definitely colluding with the Lord of Ice, so those who mine are all humanoid ice dogs, and they don't worry about being spied on by outsiders at all.

Well... these two are actually unlikely.

But Baron Watson's mining manpower is indeed not the baron's territory's civilians, and he hasn't bought black workers from slave traders either, everyone is sure of these two things.

After all, there are quite a few people spying on him... if he really dares to collude with the Lord of Storms and the slave traders whom the Northern King extremely hates, everyone will have a new territory to share!

Moreover, Baron Watson's methods shouldn't be too evil, there are often traces of holy water outside his mines.
