Dear Broom Knight

His brewer would whip up a rye beer, a mint orange juice… they weren't even as palatable as the juice that Lowry squeezed out himself with brute force!

Although the chef and brewer were the typical 'you can hear them but not see them' type, basically functioning as a so-called smart kitchen, Lowry was very concerned about their progress!

He was just about ready to use the tomato sauce on bread, and the chickens he raised were almost ready to be roasted… but his knightly profession had reached its peak!

What was he going to do!

Lowry felt a pang of heartache.

He was truly heartbroken! So many years of happiness were completely ruined at this moment!

Don't be fooled by the few recipes in the game, the spices are all there!

Boiled chicken is delicious, but if you eat it plain every day, no matter how tender the chicken is, you won't be able to eat it for more than a few days.

The good thing about this fantasy world is that it at least doesn't lack salt and oil, but… spices are scarce!

Although Montesquieu's castle has everything it should, even if those spices weren't really worth their weight in gold, it's impossible to slather a dozen spices on a chicken for roasting, and it's even more impossible to be that extravagant every day.

Being able to use common spices like thyme, basil, and lemongrass, which cost a gold coin for a small pinch on the market, every day, already shows that Montesquieu is indeed wealthy and generous.

In fact, being able to satisfy the needs of the nobles doesn't mean that these foods aren't delicious.

However, Lowry was a child who grew up with seasonings, and he always craved a variety of flavors.

The key is, he would have resigned himself to fate if he didn't have the opportunity, but… he was already at the table, ready to eat, and then they told him that this table was reserved by someone else, and the restaurant just made a mistake?

Why!

At this moment, Lowry only thought of 'resentment, heartache, and rage'.

Now that he was at the table, even if he had to pay the difference, he would never put the chopsticks back together!

Whoosh!

The dim room suddenly lit up.

"It can't be considered too wasteful, can it!" Cesca smiled slightly, "In the first few years of learning magic, you have to guard against revenge from behind."

Lowry curled his lips: "What a joke, now, who dares to attack me?"

The Northern Kingdom's desire for mages is always the top priority, just like Cesca said, with Lowry's background in the Montesquieu family, the king would jump for joy upon hearing it.

Of course, this is not because of how strong the mage's power is.

Awakening array, awakening array, just hearing it, you know that only mages can create this thing.

Some countries can set up awakening arrays in every city, replenishing the army with fresh blood at any time.

While some countries can only place the awakening array in the territory castles of great nobles like counts, letting common people bring their families to the count's mansion to watch the excitement every year.

What's lacking is the great mages who can inscribe the awakening array!

Of course, proper national wars still need the kind of combat style that mages can use to 'clean up' the battlefield, but… the mages who are 'willing' to go to the battlefield are at most level 10.

It sounds powerful, but the magic power of a level 10 mage is just so-so.

The reason why knights are useful is that they can still slash directly after using their skills, but what about mages? Really going down to smash with a staff?

Although it's not impossible, it seems like no one would do that.

If you really get killed like that, you will definitely be remembered for generations, and no mage would be willing.

After Lowry figured out that even a standard magic tower couldn't be built in this world, he quickly lost his fascination with the mage profession and wholeheartedly plunged into his knight training.

For noble children, although mages are very rare, they are not too mysterious, and people who know a few level 0 cantrips can still be seen.

In fact, it's not that so many people really can't have the aptitude for magic.

But in this world where even gods can't descend at will, magical energy is very difficult to mobilize.

If someone who could easily become a formal mage in other worlds came to Lowry's world, it would be difficult for them to mobilize magical energy to cast even a level 0 light spell.

And with the weakness of mages in the early stages, and the intensity of their demand for resources, only those who can become level 7 mages in other worlds can barely gain a foothold in this world.

Countries like the Northern Kingdom, which value military achievements, will naturally only choose mages who can be useful to train.

As for some nobles who are willing to pursue their own goals, as long as their families don't care, no one cares whether they are burning their own money on useless things.

Anyway, the infighting between nobles has never been less, and Lowry's mother's experience is very common… Without the strength of a great knight like Yagris, wanting to escape is really up to fate.

However, most people don't seem to have that fate.

The awakening array is really the easiest way for ordinary people in this world to escape poverty and humility.

There are always people who can have genetic mutations.

But if you want these great nobles to take action to train them, or even the royal family to be moved, then you must have the qualifications to be recognized by the awakening array.

Just like the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom, although they may not be able to make the awakening array have any obvious reaction, they will definitely light up a trace of lines.

Only such people can enter the king's direct army.

The private soldiers of the nobles are basically the same requirement, and may even be better… After all, they must give more than the king's army to retain people, so it is better to give more and not raise so many.

But at the same time, the treatment of the army is really good, and the annual income of some ordinary craftsmen may not be as much as that of a lowest-level soldier.

This is a world that is constantly in conflict with its neighbors, especially when certain mineral resources that are enough to trigger wars are discovered.

The Northern Kingdom has been living relatively comfortably in recent years because their king suppressed all dissent.

But even so, there are always various small frictions on the border.

Otherwise, Count Montesquieu, the king's confidant, would not stay in his territory all year round.

The great nobles usually stay in the capital for most of the year, after all, life is much more comfortable.

Anyway, as long as the army is in their hands, the nobles are not worried about any power-grabbing events happening.

They will not abide by the presumption of innocence, as long as a problem occurs, they will solve all the people who caused the problem.

It is conceivable, in a world where the requirements for mage qualifications are very high, how high Lowry's talent is, who can make the entire magic array glow blue and the entire pentagram jump out.
