Dear Broom Knight
#114 - The right ghazal collar
“Sometimes, I really understand Baron Laurie's aversion to the church,” Cesca whispered. “Oh, Storm Lord above, forgive my disrespectful words… but I really think I would love my Lord even more without the church.”
Originally, knights were the type to trust their own fists. Only when faced with dangers that human strength couldn't touch would they couldn't help but call upon the god they trusted. Otherwise, when faced with an enemy they could fight, even to the death, they would only shout 'For XXX' and charge directly.
Like Cesca and her siblings, who grew up in the Northlands, even though their parents came from regions that deeply revered the Storm Lord, and even had a small shrine in their manor… that kind of small prayer room consisting of a small statue like a hurricane brought from the church, and a special offering table… the four siblings still only respected the Storm Lord himself and would never revere the Storm Church like their parents did.
Although this true god wasn't a stingy type, he couldn't possibly pay too much for mortals.
The performance in Montes Territory could actually prove that, in the Storm Lord's eyes, the northern border, which rarely bowed to the Storm Church and spent almost no money there, was the most powerful diocese in terms of faith.
The last time a similar incident occurred, a Storm Archbishop also volunteered to sacrifice himself, but unfortunately, the storm only spread for a few kilometers.
How could it compare to the time in Montes, when they almost sent the Ice King's people out of the Northern Border!
Even the heretics who ambushed them in Gezar were blown away in one fell swoop!
As for how many people died in the Ice and Snow Church that time, Cesca wasn't very clear.
Although the Storm God has a violent temperament and great destructive power, when he can control his temper, he doesn't like to hurt people.
Of course, if he determines that someone is a wicked person, he will never show mercy.
Although among the churches, heretics are bound to die, in the Storm Lord's eyes, they are just a group of foolish humans who have been tempted, they haven't even done evil, so why be so cruel?
Therefore, some heretics who have only been tempted and have never committed any sins, the Storm Lord will only expel them from his diocese.
If the direction they are blown away in is towards the Ice Country, then things are still okay.
But, many of the people who flew out of Gezar Territory could be seen at a glance to have gone to the other side of the hills… the territories of those inland nobles who claimed to be much more devout than the northerners.
That time, the Storm Lord almost slapped the faces of the great nobles who gave a lot of tributes to the Storm Church every year.
But he couldn't possibly consider so much, right?
He didn't even consider the face of the Storm Church.
For so many years, the Storm Church has always claimed that they want to cultivate the Northern Border, this desert of faith, into a mature region!
As a result, in the Storm Lord's eyes, the northern border area, which doesn't ask for his help unless something happens, and doesn't show respect to his church, is the orthodox diocese.
Cesca couldn't help but curl her lips and chuckle whenever she thought of this.
The reason why no one from the Northland dared to run wild outside was because the Montes family had lost even more face.
Even those who didn't think it was shameful for their lord to be schemed against so thoroughly didn't have the mood to use this tragedy to stir up trouble.
But, the Storm Church has also been staying far away from the Northern Border during this period, and even avoids those Northerners who have to go to the capital.
And even if Cesca didn't care about anything, she wouldn't be stupid enough to show it, after all, compared to the lord's family, the biggest unlucky ones were their Tole family.
At least other people died heroically in battle.
Taylor suddenly looked up at his sister: “Should I tell Alex?”
Cesca pursed her lips: “If it can't be said, the lord will remind you.”
Baron Laurie is a very interesting lord.
Other lords, especially those nobles who hold all the power, basically mean that you can't do things that I haven't mentioned.
But their baron, as long as you don't do things that I don't allow you to do, then you have no taboos… If I forget to remind you in advance, then it's my fault, and it has nothing to do with you.
But if I've said it and you still make mistakes or even act foolishly, then you have to consider whether your little life is hard enough.
Cesca didn't know how others felt, but those people she came into contact with who were willing to stay in the Living Feather Knights, including those few children who had hope of advancing to scholars and bards, stayed because of the baron's tolerant attitude.
Many people are not afraid of working or following those complicated rules and regulations, but they are most afraid of guessing the boss's thoughts, and accidentally stepping on a landmine without knowing why.
Although being able to react faster than others can get better and bigger rewards, there are always people who simply don't want to guess… People who have this ability and want to use this ability can just leave!
The reason why Cesca can manage the various affairs of the Gezar Barony in an orderly manner is mostly due to this.
After all, no one has to consider whether there is any deep meaning in certain words sent down from above, whether they have to think in a different direction, and just doing things according to the literal meaning makes the entire political system extremely easy.
At any time, the problem is not the matter, no matter how troublesome or difficult, there will always be a day to solve it.
If you really can't do it, then you can justifiably tell the person who issued the order that he is thinking too beautifully.
But, once a human problem arises, then it's over.
Because you don't dare to say that the reason why the problem has not been solved is because you don't have the ability, or because of yourselves.
Taylor nodded: “It seems that although the baron doesn't like Sir Alex's personality, he doesn't hate him.”
“Who would like that kind of inflexible man who insists on treating his own logic as the truth of life?” Cesca wasn't happy at all. “Moreover, he has a mother like the princess, yet he is so disrespectful to women!”
Although his main goal was to pressure Valeria, hoping that she could consider the relationship with Milian, and by the way, to move Taylor, who heard the rumors but didn't seem to care… Cesca was very dissatisfied that why do you have to interfere with my sister's feelings?
Who do you think you are?
Even if you take out the prince's identity, you are not from the Northern Royal Family!
Moreover, even if it is the Northern Royal Family, it is impossible to openly reach into the marriage of the Northern grassroots nobles!
Don't think that the White Dragon King doesn't care about his sons fighting for power and deceiving people there, that's just because everything is under his control.
If they really dare to intervene so blatantly in the marriage of the Northern low-level nobles, the White Dragon King can directly let them marry the ice dog cubs!
What is Alex? Hurry back to the Ice Country to breed his ice dogs!
“Sir Alex can always expose a bit of his inferiority when you think his character is okay.
I sometimes suspect that Commander Leon ran away from home with his brothers before he even knew that he could be named the Border Earl because he couldn't stand this cousin.
Otherwise, why would he just take such a small benefit and leave?
Before I knew that Commander Leon was His Majesty the King's son, I could still believe that he was indeed a good person who was selfless and loyal to the king… but, it's impossible!
Our Majesty the King, how could he give birth to that kind of son.
Commander Leon is a pile of rotten…
Taylor, who was slapped by her sister without hesitation, decided to change her statement: “There are no thornless roses, unless it just looks like one.
So, he must think that not taking anything is the best result.
It's just our baron who doesn't care about their broken things.”
“For the sake of those few scholars and bards, and the systematic teaching methods, the baron will also accept this debt.” Cesca still understood why Laurie had never cared about Alex's existence. “No matter why the Blade of the Tiger left, the baron doesn't think he will lose out in this deal.”
Sometimes, the saying that the desireless are strong is really vivid.
Laurie is the most difficult type for nobles to deal with… Of course, the main reason is that he can't use any force against him.
Coercion is impossible, temptation is useless, and even spies have a hard time surviving… It's not to say that there is really no way, but, to use it to deal with a small baron who has no life-and-death feud or shocking conflicts of interest?
If they could be so extravagant, they wouldn't even look at the little bit of benefits from Gezar Territory.
Although Laurie has been silently developing his territory, he has really maintained his sense of existence just right.
He lets everyone know that he is rich, but he controls it within a range that people can understand.
Like now, discerning people know that the reason why so many caravans appear in his territory is because of his own alchemy strength.
Even if he builds his territory well, it will not make any sense to other lords.
Especially those big lords, and, possibly the major churches and the royal family hidden behind.
What everyone wants is a blood-generating machine, not a big blood bag that explodes when touched.
Cesca glanced at Taylor: “I won't interfere with those things in your knight order, so, no matter what reason you have to show a little harmony with Alex, I won't interfere.
As long as you don't sincerely think that the other person is a good person.”
