Dear Broom Knight

Chapter 568: Why Only the Bright Moon?

Before the Hamilton Storm Church, a bright moon materialized once again.

"Why only the bright moon?" Evelyn Costa blurted out.

"Hmm..." Toronto gripped the brick corner of the wall, staring intently at the bright, round moon with shadows vaguely wandering across it, "It looks very real, even more so than I imagined..."

"Toronto!" The female knight angrily kicked him from behind, "Didn't you hear my question?

Why only the bright moon?"

Toronto turned his head to look at her, a surprised expression on his face: "Shouldn't you ask the Lord of Knowledge about that?"

"The judgment of an intuitive being should be closer to the truth," Evelyn Costa nodded decisively, unable to resist muttering under her breath, "It seems the Lord of Knowledge has found the Lord of Qingfeng Territory to negotiate.

But since he cares so much about this matter, then... it can only prove that the previous two times he remained silent because he had a guilty conscience.

It seems the event of the Lord of Storms causing a ruckus in Vargas was indeed a joint effort by the Church of the Earth and Scroll Mountain, as rumored.

And the Lord of Knowledge probably allowed this to happen... Tsk, old... um...

Tsk tsk~ I've only heard of border generals fostering bandits to increase their own importance!

To actually... Heh~"

Toronto asked curiously: "What are you talking about?

Why is your voice sometimes high and sometimes low... Why can't I hear it?

I can even hear snowflakes falling!"

"If you can't hear it, then of course it's not something I'm saying for you to hear!" Evelyn Costa rolled her eyes, "Go observe your moon!

One dark moon is enough."

Toronto tilted his head, eventually choosing to give up pursuing the matter, only letting out a "Heh~" sound.

"I know her... but only as an acquaintance," Pearl quickly recalled, "A female knight with a giant hammer, very strong and with a very飒 personality.

She acts very much like an adventurer, without any noble aura.

Father and I talked about her, because she is a long-renowned independent adventurer who reportedly advanced to level twelve twenty years ago.

Her fighting style is very barbaric, she likes to jump up and smash enemies flat... in a literal sense."

Although Pearl doesn't have much combat experience, she can still make these superficial judgments with a high degree of accuracy... at least, Pearl will basically notice what the other party wants people to see.

Of course, what made Almos even more certain that this lady had a background but wasn't a problem was Isler's attitude.

His father would never allow Pearl to communicate with people with overly complicated backgrounds under his nose.

But to make Isler so secretive and even slightly respectful of a non-Northern camp existence... Almos searched through his memories and finally pointed to a distinct existence.

If she is a believer of that person, then there is indeed no problem.

Then Toronto, who is valued by her, should at least not have any faith issues... As for his identity, there is no way to investigate, no one can be sure.

As long as he is not an outsider or a subordinate of an evil god, then everything will be fine.

Almos belatedly realized: "No wonder Father said Toronto is a mage I can interact with."

"Is brother being clever again?" Pearl couldn't help but tease.

"It's always right to be careful," Almos shook his head, "In the current situation, even the gods can't necessarily judge correctly.

Even our King has retreated bravely!

Be good, I brought you a set of armor that was just researched in the capital this time!

Play well for two years first, and if you think you can adapt, I'll buy you a new one next time.

By the way, how is that longsword? The palace guards seem to be quite fond of it."

Pearl touched the silver longsword at her waist: "It does entangle twice as much energy as the previous one, and it also adds a same-attribute damage when it injures an enemy.

But it may be because too many magical materials were used, the longsword itself is a bit less sturdy.

Moreover, the commotion is a bit too loud, so it's not very suitable if you want to be surprising.

It's normal for the palace guards to be fond of it, they need to quickly knock down the enemy and quickly call for support."

Her explanation was concise and clear, and Almos naturally understood it.

He showed a subtle smile: "No wonder, the army didn't control the fluctuating morale much."

"Brother?" Pearl moved closer to him, "So, why?

Don't be so vague! You know I don't understand."

Almos helplessly reached out his finger and poked her forehead slightly forcefully: "It won't kill you to use your brain occasionally.

When there is too little external pressure, an army with too many people becomes a bit difficult to endure!"

Pearl still couldn't quite figure it out: "But, I remember, His Majesty the King distributed a lot of external trade routes and mineral resources to the army, and even tacitly allowed them to trade privately, the army isn't poor!"

"Pearl, although most people think it's good to have enough food and clothing, there are always some people who think, if that's all they want, why should they join the army and suffer?

The army is a ladder to climb upwards.

And the ladder in the North has been stagnant for nearly 40 years."

Mrs. Yagris, including his father, were actually the beneficiaries of the border war that lasted a long time 50 years ago.

And after them, the middle and upper levels of the border army have been almost fixed.

If it were many years ago, how could a commander of his father's level not even be able to become a deputy commander?

Do soldiers have money... Compared to ordinary citizens, of course they still do.

However, it can be seen from the longsword he bought for Pearl that the King's army, even the King's army stationed in the capital, has lost the lavishness of the past... Even the top weapon manufacturers have begun to specialize in making longswords for the palace guards.

How could this have happened before?

The knights of level 10 and above in the army were the biggest customers of these equipment manufacturers.

The palace guards could only pick up the leftovers behind the army knights, trying to adapt themselves to those military weapons.

As a result, now, it's actually the other way around!

Moreover, this is a type that is very unsuitable for the fighting style of army knights.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ post!

It is conceivable that in the eyes of those manufacturers, they would not have purchased any new weapons.

Almos sighed: "Really... White Dragon, it really is a double-edged sword!"

Fortunately, His Majesty Travis has already decided to give up the throne and seek his own path to the future.

Because of his active departure, all forces have the courage to move again... Almos suddenly glanced at the Storm Church under the bright moon.

The Schroeder family wasn't really that strong before.

Although they caused a lot of trouble, it was all normal power struggles, occasionally successful, often failing.

However, when the traditional nobles began to have too much awe of the kingship, the storm nobles naturally occupied a lot of the power that the other side gave up... Even if most of it was taken away by the royal family, those scraps were enough for the Schroeder family to grow rapidly.

Of course, everything was the choice of the Schroeder High Priest and the Schroeder Duke after their own expansion, you can't blame others.

However, when the Schroeder family was unable to clean up the mess due to these flaws, the traditional nobles rushed out again... They even wanted to take back those things in the hands of the royal family, let alone those scraps swallowed by the Schroeder family.

This High Priest, it is impossible not to know this.

Almos frowned slightly: "Pearl, you haven't been in contact with Celistia recently, have you?"

"No," Pearl answered simply, "Since you don't give her any chance, I certainly won't hold you back!

Why did brother suddenly think of her?"

"If it's like I thought... the Schroeder High Priest, the last thing he took away may not just be himself..." Almos leaned against the wall, saying with some emotion, "If the Schroeder family must eventually return to its original place, then his biggest competitor is only one."

The royal family and the traditional nobles, as long as the Schroeder family retreats quickly enough, they will not continue to shout and kill... The North cannot be without a strong enough storm force.

If the Schroeder family is gone, the upcoming Macmillan may not be much better.

It is even possible that a brand new family will emerge... The Main God Temple has enough means to advance this step.

That's not as good as letting the Schroeder family, which everyone is very familiar with, continue to stay.

However, this must have a prerequisite.

That is, the two 'culprits', the Schroeder High Priest and the Schroeder Duke, must disappear... Of course, the nobles don't actually care about the sins of these two people, the only reason they must disappear is: they are too strong.

As long as these two are alive, the Schroeder family will never be truly slaughtered.

Macmillan... Almos suddenly remembered the main reason why Celistia took a fancy to him.

That Macmillan Deputy High Priest, who doesn't know when he will die, and their pastor ranks with no successors.

"Celistia... this time, it's probably really going to be a miscalculation," Almos said softly, "She shouldn't have left the capital."

"Is she in danger?" Pearl asked cautiously.

"No, she's not," Almos smiled slightly, "With the Lord of Storms above, who would dare to casually move a proper storm knight."

"The High Priest and Deputy High Priest are okay?" Pearl couldn't help but ask after confirming what Almos was implying.

"His life was originally extended by external forces," Almos said indifferently, "He is already on the verge of death.

As long as you don't assassinate him personally, but...

Letting such a person die, even I can think of many ways!

"You can think of it, is that something surprising?" Pearl couldn't help but complain.

"Heh heh~" Almos gave his sister a smile full of warning.
