Dear Broom Knight
#563 - Poor Almes
The transparent windows of the Northlanders are made of a kind of solidified resin, which is warm, cheap, and readily available.
Although noble castles use crystal windows, that's only a part of it; the small windows on the back and in the corners are definitely made of resin.
So, the crystal exterior walls of his house, although expensive, are unsalable.
If it weren't for His Majesty Travis' extreme aversion to waste, and his refusal to allow these unsalable crystal fragments to be discarded at will... it would have been impossible to create so many.
Almos even suspects that Archmage Arsalan researched such a magic array while being so busy because His Majesty the King was too nagging.
This is not too surprising.
After all, the former Arsalan could leave directly when His Majesty Travis was entangled with him, but in recent years he has had to maintain the magic array in the King's Palace, so he can't leave.
For the sake of peace and quiet, giving some research results is simply too normal.
Almos only heard it a few times occasionally and felt dizzy.
But after this research result came out, the price of the crystal罩子 naturally rose in response.
After all, most areas of the North have a cold winter.
Even if the knights are strong enough and very resistant to cold, there is no need to treat themselves so harshly in normal life.
Besides, which family doesn't have children!
Although the nobles are reluctant to spend too much, they will try to use warm magic arrays to ensure that the temperature of the castle is above ten degrees.
Then increase the temperature in some important rooms.
The larger the castle, the more spar stones need to be consumed. Nobles who can maintain their homes at this level are considered good... but if they can't even do this and can only rely on burning firewood for heating, they will definitely be laughed at.
And this can almost burn an ordinary Baron's income for half a year.
If it's more extravagant... for example, like the Montes Castle in the past, where servants could wear thickened two-layer clothes and move freely, that would have to be doubled.
However, Leon, that guy from an adventurer's background, doesn't care about these things and only does the most basic insulation... anyway, his reason is justifiable, and the people around him are all formal professionals, and Leon has thrown all the good-for-nothings to that rich guy, Lorry.
Qingfeng Territory is a place where even outside the castle it can be as warm as spring.
Clearly, snowdrop lace flowers can bloom on the shores of the Frozen Lake, but twenty meters away from that area, you can immediately enter spring.
People who haven't experienced it can't imagine that feeling.
When Almos first heard about it, he only thought of a burning mountain of spar stones.
What Leon can do, Isira can't.
That guy Leon is justified in not having money... and the nobles won't gossip about his poverty, after all, that's a royal family feud.
The things inside are complicated!
Who knows if the guy standing opposite him and chatting with him when he's gossiping is one of the parties involved?
Nobles still won't do things that gossip themselves to death.
But Isira is different!
His life trajectory is too simple, and normal people can calculate a portion of his family property.
If that's the case, and he's still saving money on basic facilities like warm magic arrays, they will definitely be criticized by all the nobles.
Moreover, they still have to constantly entertain those small and medium-sized nobles when they enter the Northern Territory!
Saving money here is just asking for trouble.
But it's really expensive.
Especially since the Northern Territory is so much colder than the capital, wanting to maintain it at ten degrees, the consumption of energy spar stones is almost three times that of the past... this is simply adding insult to injury for the already very impoverished Hamilton family.
Otherwise, Bowen, who has been following Isira, wouldn't often disappear... His most important task now is no longer watching Isira to prevent him from causing trouble, but to work hard to revitalize the territory's economy, at least ensuring that the Earl's territory's tax revenue covers their daily expenses in the territory.
They still have a knight order to support! Isira's side income is enough to guarantee the normal life of the knight order.
If he also has to support the Earl's territory's expenses, then it's really going to be stretched.
But the magic array researched by Arsalan this time, when combined with this crystal outer wall, will reduce the consumption of energy spar stones to only one-twentieth of the past!
Although the purchase price is enough to warm an ordinary castle for five years... unless someone is as unlucky as the Montes family, whose castle isn't aiming for thousands of years!
Almos gently explained the importance of the magic array to the Countess.
Hahahaha!
The Countess did not change her expression as she retracted her right hand, and with the other hand, she helped to stuff the sheathed dagger that had just hit Isira's head into her sleeve.
"Ignore your stupid father!"
The Countess earnestly instructed her son, "He still hasn't figured it out."
The reason why the Countess of Hamilton works so hard to make money is also very clear. In the current situation, Bowen can balance the expenses of the territory and the knight order, and she can't help Isira much, but at least, she can ensure that her Pearl has enough knight training resources.
Knights above level ten, wanting to continue to rise relying only on their own family's resources, is really... spending money like water.
Pearl is not the kind of girl who doesn't want to share her parents' worries, but her parents and brothers are very firm in this regard.
The latest ⊥ new ⊥ novel ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ post!
So, she can only suppress the worry in her heart and make herself look so carefree... her parents and brothers regard raising her well as their responsibility, and she can't say that she is worried every day because she is being raised.
But how could the Countess of Hamilton not know her daughter's thoughts!
During this time, she has already begun to involve Pearl in the management of her caravan. When the little girl understands what it means to have no father and son in the business world, and that there can be goodwill in pricing, but no kindness, she will be able to truly become a manager.
This was originally something that she, Isira, and Almos had discussed, but originally, they planned to let Pearl join the work when she reached level 14, the level that does not require immersive cultivation.
If it weren't for Isira... heh ~
All the troubles stem from him.
Even Almos, who was raised by the royal family and never knew what it meant to be short of money to study magic, knows that he has to save a little!
The Countess of Hamilton's small fist she was pinching creaked... Although Niels, who followed Almos, has always been well-informed, with his and Bowen's identical personalities, they would never discuss the family's assets with Almos unless they were forced to.
After all, this is just a temporary predicament, and they will always get out of it over time.
But Almos, who always stays in the greenhouse to study magic and never goes out, still knew the news, definitely, it was those little girls who went to see him, who revealed the news.
The Countess can even imagine the attitude with which these proud daughters of princesses speak to her son!
She is very clear that only the daughters of princesses who marry into great nobles can break through the King's layers of protection and enter the Royal Research Institute.
Heh, the children of princesses can enjoy most of the princess's rights in the palace when their mother is still there, and then add the servants of the father's family who were 'secretly' sent in by the court, as well as the hidden pieces left by the maternal grandmother who was the Queen, which are enough to make these girls live more freely in the palace than some princesses who don't have a very good background.
The Countess doesn't think that they can really enter Almos's laboratory, the King still manages that kind of place very strictly.
But, the big greenhouse, definitely can't stop them from entering!
As a natural mage, Almos's magic garden attached to his laboratory can only raise some precious plants, and most of them still have to be raised in the greenhouse for his apprentices and followers to take care of.
These people can't stop those girls... and they can't do anything when accidents happen.
Almos definitely has to come forward himself, even if it's just to say a few words.
What is all this!
Just thinking that her Almos is being pointed at and told that your family is so poor that the whole world knows, the best way is to marry a girl with a dowry rich enough to support your whole family... the Countess of Hamilton wants to strangle Isira!
She can completely understand why Almos always secretly stoked the fire when he came back this time, hoping that she would teach Isira a lesson!
Anyone would think so!
Wait!
She will let Almos, soon leave Hamilton with a smile, and happily return to the palace to continue his cultivation!
Isira suddenly turned his head and looked around.
Why does he have a feeling of coldness behind his back?
Could it be that the evil god believer in the adventurer's tavern just now wants to cause trouble in the territory?
"Dear, I'm telling you... just now in the tavern..."
He suddenly approached the Countess and explained the recent events one by one, "I expected people from the High Tower to come, after all, he will definitely come to kick me when the storm is in trouble, but... why are these newcomers also coming?
It's not even at the level of Scroll Mountain cleaning up their own troubles!
Just a self-inflicted high priest."
