Dear Broom Knight

Although it's funny, the Watson family is actually the least evil place in the Northern Territory... After all, even the Baron of Qingfeng wouldn't purify his home every day.

The Watson Baron family can do it, but basically, it's all thanks to the kindness of their neighbors.

The Earl and Countess of Hamilton discovered the difference between the border nobles and the inland nobles not long after arriving in the Northern Territory.

The border nobles maintain a kind but wary attitude towards their neighbors.

After all, no one knows if the neighbor will suddenly collude with the dog-playing guy from the north because of something.

Although this is not a big deal, if you don't want to be dragged into it, you have to be prepared at all times and quickly raise the defensive magic circle.

After the Watson family started mining, his neighbors, and even the neighbors of his neighbors, keenly noticed something was wrong.

If this guy was just colluding with outsiders to use some special means to mine, or even sell his own interests, the neighbors wouldn't care, of course.

But this kind of method must not be polluting.

So, not to mention the first few years, there were often traces of holy water outside Baron Watson's mine, even now when everyone is actually not very suspicious, holy water is still sprinkled every few days.

But no one has ever made a big reaction because Baron Watson's methods must be abnormal... If it were a small noble in the inland, one possibility would be enough for the neighbors to bring storm priests, or even bishops, to eradicate evil.

And those were just a few ordinary-grade fruits that could clear garbage from the body and help the body recover from fatigue!

Of course, this kind of thing will only happen to those great nobles who only have manors without territory, and those small nobles who have not been able to hide well.

The Northern Territory nobles' style of dealing with things is more like that of great nobles who are wary of each other, even those manor lord nobles can do it... Obviously, it's because once the two sides take action, it will give more terrible enemies an opportunity to take advantage.

The great nobles understand this point very well.

After all, if they really go to war with their rivals, the result is very likely that both sides will be cooked in one pot by the royal family or the church.

The small nobles in the inland do not have this kind of 'vigilance' that requires them to maintain a harmonious relationship with their neighbors. After all, their messy relationships may have been condoned, and they themselves have no management power over those below.

The Countess of Hamilton, who came from a good family, can still adapt to this situation in the Northern Territory, but Ezra and Bowen are finding it a bit difficult.

Although they come from the royal family, the collateral branches have always only been used if they don't actively get involved, and they are not directly treated as enemies... It will never threaten the lives of the whole family, at most it will cost some money.

Even to lure Ezra into the trap, they had to actually use the position of 'Deputy Commander' as bait.

Although the bait can still be recovered, once that person publicly says it, it will definitely be officially recorded in the important military cases. If there is a special situation that requires someone to take the position, the first to give way will be him.

The Deputy Commander himself understands this point, but this is also the price that must be paid... Even if Ezra takes the bait, but ultimately fails, the other party cannot use the method of 'I never thought of resigning' to make Ezra retreat, but can only use the competition of his own people to suppress Ezra.

So, although people always mutter about Ezra's rashness, no one condemns his gullibility... That was indeed an opportunity, even if it was small, it was still an opportunity.

No one would want a guy who even pits his own harmless collateral branches to death to become king. Anyone who dares to do this will inevitably become the target of public criticism.

The goal of those great nobles is to make their own prince king, and, moreover, to be recognized by His Majesty Travis as king, they would never dare to violate this taboo.

In this situation, Ezra and Bowen, including the members of the knight order they brought with them, are more like pure soldiers in all aspects, and they are more accustomed to the way of eradicating evil at the root.

It took them a long time to accept the fact that they knew the other party had problems but could only watch the monitoring magic circle and ponder secretly.

Even now, Bowen has no way to entrust everything to the monitoring and alarm of the magic circle, and he has to stare at those images every day.

He scratched his head and said a little puzzled: "The Earl is inspecting the castle, so I came to tell you first."

The Countess's eyes lit up... She really didn't expect that there could be this benefit!

She jumped up quickly, summoned her crimson horn Pegasus, and went out to meet him without hesitation.

"The direction directly opposite Baron Gezar's castle!" Bowen, who had been mentally prepared, shouted loudly behind her.

He clung to the window and tried to look up at the sky, but the Countess of Hamilton had already rushed to the clouds and disappeared from his sight.

It's not that the Countess of Hamilton had to fly so high, but that the flying troops, as a secret means of attack, almost always fly above the clouds, and even have to actively let the clouds fill their surroundings.

Most generals from the military basically get used to moving in the clouds at other times, unless they fly at low altitude to deter the enemies underground.

The same is true for mages.

Furthermore, they don't want their flight paths to be clear to ordinary people... For mortals, if someone can fly over their heads, that's definitely enough for them to talk about for three to five years.

The person who says it doesn't know who they are talking about, but the person who hears it is very likely to know.

For example, Lorry, the lord of Qingfeng.

This mage, who loved to ride a broom around when he was a child, is now almost always associated with his broom.

Even the ignorant people who don't even know what mages and knights are will respectfully call him 'Broom Knight'.

I don't know about other places, but Bowen can be sure that since the title 'Broom Knight' appeared, the mages and flying knights in the Northern Territory have been even more reluctant to reveal their whereabouts.

Common people are good at using their own logic to summarize existences that they can't understand at all... Since there is a Broom Knight, there must be 'Stick Knight' and 'Carpet Knight'.

Moreover, there are not many flying creatures like the horn Pegasus that the Countess of Hamilton rides.

Everyone still rides some magical creatures with flying abilities... Gale Wolves are nothing, after all, the people of the Northern Territory are very sensitive to ice dogs, and even a few-year-old children will not mistake dog-shaped creatures.

But, there are also flying cats and flying tigers!

This is a special product of the Eastern Territory... It seems that it also originated from some magical experiments in ancient times.

The smaller flying cats are good at reconnaissance, the larger flying tigers are good at combat, and they also have combination skills, which are very popular with nobles.

The Eastern Territory... the original Sebeffia family, although there is no serious cross-border trade, just relying on collecting and selling these specialties is more profitable than the mining and 'formal or informal foreign trade' of other border territories combined.

Although they are only good at luring birds, and cannot charm creatures with higher intelligence such as magical creatures, they can barely make them temporarily lose their combat power and combat desire.

If these two creatures were not naturally stubborn, and would never have children if they did not recognize their knights or were dissatisfied with their living environment, then the Sebeffia family could have made a lot of money by letting them reproduce naturally.

Unfortunately, both of these creatures dislike Sebeffia very much, including people with Sebeffia blood.

Sebeffia can only choose to sell them directly, and then let the major adventure groups go to their territory to capture and sell them... and then, collect high taxes.

But this is still the easiest flying creature for ordinary nobles to obtain.

At least they can buy them if they have money.

On the contrary, flying magical creatures like the horn Pegasus, even if they become a specialty of a certain place, cannot be obtained by ordinary nobles... Although the price is also 100,000 gold to 200,000 gold, this is no longer something that can be bought with money.

It not only requires status, but also some special precious materials in exchange for the qualification to buy.

Over the years, the flying creatures that ordinary people in the Northern Territory can often see are really these little cats and big cats.

However, these furry giant magical creatures, when viewed from the ground, are, well, quite wonderful... Especially cats, no matter how big they are, they are still cats. When they fly into the sky, they like to curl up their paws and make themselves look like a big cat blanket.

With Lorry as a precedent, the knights naturally don't want to be too adventurous. Everyone still prefers a more heroic title.

Even if they don't have one, it's better than Cat Knight or something like that. Moreover, although mortals lack language skills, they are very good at association. Someone can always come up with imaginative but funny titles.

Plus, the Broom Knight, who looks indifferent even if he is unhappy about this, is blocking in front, so even if everyone is nicknamed, they can only listen with a stiff smile... Although they can't figure out whether that Qingfeng Lord's heart is big or small, they are very clear that once that person thinks they have 'done something wrong', no one can bear the consequences.

So, Bowen has been in the Northern Territory for more than half a year, and except for Lorry the mage next door, who doesn't know if he's giving up on himself, he really hasn't seen anyone flying fast at low altitude.

Especially those with staffs.

It's also good.

For a lame scholar like him, he can also turn a blind eye.

Bowen silently closed the window, added a swift spell to himself, and ran away... Earl, ah~ If you don't come back, old Bowen won't be able to hold on!

He really has no confidence that he can still keep secrets for his Earl in this situation.
