Dear Broom Knight

Originally, it was already difficult to clear those two types of plants that Lowry had planted on his territory's border.

If they were also to possess the attribute of tenacity, or resistance to ice and fire, then what more could be said?

And the flowers and trees on the hills behind Lowry Castle would also benefit greatly.

At least it would allow their flowering period to break through its original limitations, and even become evergreen... Not afraid of the cold, not afraid of the heat, and not afraid of heavy branches, what could hinder their unrestrained blooming?

If that were the case, his mother would definitely be very pleasantly surprised when she returned.

Lowry had actually already agreed in his heart, he just didn't want to let the White Dragon King shine with so much confidence.

Tsk~

Even though this guy felt in his heart that Lowry shouldn't refuse Ruth Kania's visit, he still played some tricks.

Given the friendship between Lowry and Ruth Kania, how could he ask Ruth Kania to leave?

Just because he felt he couldn't afford to raise two dragons... Don't forget that in Lowry's territory and the nearby wilderness, there are still many ice dogs suitable for Ruth Kania to snack on!

But the White Dragon King also understood that if Lowry was really unhappy, he could still talk to Ruth Kania, because he disliked her ally, so he would temporarily not accept her visit.

After all, it's not like Lowry hadn't done it before.

Although he refused Ruth Kania, Lowry would also think of a way to fulfill Ruth Kania's wish in a roundabout way, except that the White Dragon King would have to pay a little price.

He and Ruth Kania had used this method to fleece the White Dragon King several times.

So, Lowry had always been confused, clearly it was useless every time they played this game, so why did the White Dragon King always have to be so mischievous?

If he had just explained things to Lowry properly, would Lowry have refused?

Lowry, hanging upside down on the broom, tilted his head and asked with a serious face: "Your Majesty, do you have any special hobbies?"

The White Dragon King, who was ready for battle, was stunned: "Wh... what?"

"Why do you have to go around in circles to send me and Ruth Kania money?" Lowry really couldn't understand, "Every time you don't take the right path, you have to be fleeced by the two of us before you become honest... Then why don't you just give us the money directly, and save me so much trouble.

My time is very valuable!"

"Pfft~" Alsalan couldn't hold back his gratified smile, "Eh~ Even Lowry has grown up and doesn't want to play those childish games with you anymore!

So, you should be more serious in the future! Your Majesty!

Your grandson is about to become king!"

The White Dragon King glanced at Lowry with a resentful look: "Do you know how boring my days are? Lowry."

Lowry asked him with an incredulous look: "Isn't Your Majesty's daily routine scheming and infighting?"

"Living for a long time, there are many fewer surprises." The White Dragon King replied frankly, "Those people's so-called clever tricks are just methods that predecessors have played countless times.

Many times, it's not that I don't know, but that I can't deal with it as if I know.

Just like... you..."

He quickly swallowed back the words that everyone knew in their hearts.

Regarding the Montes Castle incident, the White Dragon King may not have known so accurately, but he did know most of the problems from the beginning.

However, he couldn't show that he knew.

Even if everyone knew that he knew.

The delicate relationship between the nobility and the monarchy would not change in any way because Count Montes sincerely pledged allegiance.

The good words spoken would never be rewarded with gratitude, but with endless suspicion... Is His Majesty planning to suppress the power of the nobility again, otherwise why would he show that he knows everything?

Although these words sound stupid, and the 'etiquette' they insist on seems a bit silly, any tradition that can last for tens of thousands of years has its necessity.

Smart people will not break this tacit understanding.

Moreover, mainly, no one expected that Count Montes would be so unlucky... Really, being schemed against is normal, and it's reasonable for a fool to be schemed to death, but a smart person, although a bit biased, didn't do anything disgusting that couldn't be brought to the table, but in the end paid the greatest price, even now, many people are reviewing the overall situation, wanting to see where exactly the problem occurred.

But in the end, it can only be attributed to too many coincidences and the favor of misfortune.

Although Ruth Kania has always been careless, she might be quite willing to cooperate with Lowry to cause trouble.

However, Lowry was unwilling to drag the White Dragon Lady, who was already preparing to be a mother, into playing those games that could easily hurt feelings.

Although he himself had not experienced it, who among those who are addicted to the internet doesn't have some knowledge!

Originally, a cheerful and efficient big sister, carrying a belly of more than nine months, dared to output and roar all the way in a 5V5 match during her due date, how much 'bitterness' did she output on the day she gave birth that even she herself had never taken seriously!

During her confinement, she would even suddenly burst into tears because she suddenly recalled the wrong words said by so-and-so, causing her husband to have to make a voice call and ask that so-and-so to quickly explain.

Um… After witnessing a certain someone's frantic apologies and near-desperate pleas for forgiveness, Lowry understood something: childbirth truly is the greatest harm a woman can endure.

It's not just the physical pain; the mental stress seems overwhelmingly heavy, to the point where even minor grievances from months ago are brought up and vehemently expressed.

Although, after everything calmed down, that woman was incredibly surprised by her own erratic behavior during that period and sincerely apologized to everyone who had been frightened by her outburst, Lowry and their group of friends developed a newfound respect and cautiousness towards all expectant mothers.

After all, it has nothing to do with the expectant mother's personality or nature.

While Ruth Kania might be a bit bigger, she's still a lady.

Previously, Lowry could rely on her carefree nature to play some hurtful games, but he didn't plan to do so during this time.

That's why he deliberately exposed the matter.

He didn't believe, or at least didn't fully believe, the reason given by the White Dragon King, but he also had a feeling that the White Dragon King didn't have any malicious intent; usually, that guy seemed to be looking for some novelty.

Lowry shook his head: "Ruth Kania and Bolanios's visit are welcome.

However, Your Majesty, can you really promise to not take Ruth Kania away for at least a year?"

"The reason he's so generous is because I won't be leaving the capital for at least three years," Arsalan replied with a smile.

"Teacher?" Lowry was genuinely shocked this time. "You're not… Could it be that you obtained it?"

"The thing I've been pursuing for so long actually appeared suddenly when I was meeting with other national archmages…" Although Arsalan still had a smile on his face, his eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Alas~ There's no helping it; I can only share those fragments with them."

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Lowry's eyelids twitched, and he glanced at his teacher as if to confirm.

Then, he received confirmation from his eyes.

His teacher's pursuit of certain rumored ancient mage notes for so many years had turned into a 'big joke'.

At least, that's how he felt.

Therefore, even though everyone knew he had been searching for those things, Arsalan didn't intend to monopolize them but instead generously and amicably shared them with others.

If Arsalan hadn't reacted in time and had wanted to monopolize them… his status, abilities, and the magical items he possessed, comparable to divine artifacts, would have made it impossible for him to fail.

But similarly, Arsalan would have suffered heavy losses.

Moreover, most importantly, he might not have been able to completely hide this matter… The archmages' gathering might have been secretive, but it wasn't a secret.

Many people actually knew about it.

Even Lowry knew some of the conditions and requirements for their gathering; if his strength reached that level, he could completely find his way there and participate.

The mages didn't care who came to exchange ideas, as long as they met the conditions and were willing to share their knowledge.

In that case, even if the Northern Kingdom was strong enough to not fear external suppression, it would inevitably experience a period of turmoil.

Arsalan, as the head of the court mages, who had protected the royal family for so many years and was the White Dragon King's uncle, was definitely not someone the Northern Kingdom could afford to lose.

Even those in the Noble Affairs Office who always opposed the king wouldn't make such a suggestion.

Then… war would naturally be inevitable.

The White Dragon King could forget about scheming against the Ice Plains Kingdom; he wouldn't even have time to take care of his own affairs!

Lowry knew that Arsalan, having calmed down, would inevitably think of the things he had thought of.

Therefore, Arsalan's mood at this moment must be a mix of emotions.

After pursuing it for so long, the thing he had dreamed of did exist, enough to give him an explanation for his many years of hard work.

But the fact that this matter was a bait set by the gods a long, long time ago, just waiting to see who would take the bait, made it completely unacceptable to him.

Even the White Dragon King probably had some doubts in his heart, suspecting that his appearance was inevitable.

No true king, when suspecting that his existence is merely a creation of the gods, would naturally accept everything.

He might even doubt whether he is truly himself.

Lowry blinked, suddenly understanding why the White Dragon King had been so indulgent towards him and Ruth Kania all these years.

The game I play, the arena, doesn't necessarily require the best skills, but it definitely requires excellent endurance.

When I used to play that game, I never dared to team up with my online friends, let alone with guildmates I had known for six or seven years.

Three-person teams kill friends and family; five-person teams disband guilds.

This isn't an exaggeration but a summary of countless bloody realities.

Especially for those who play healers; if they're unlucky and get entangled with those who play Tian Ce (commonly known as Erha) or Cang Jian (commonly known as Little Yellow Chicken), they'll truly be living and dying amidst chaos.

My last arena match was because I teamed up with those two classes, and I finally realized that I wasn't cut out for it.

As for pregnant women scolding their arena teammates instead of their husbands during childbirth, it's not something made up out of thin air.

My friend, who has been married for so long and whose child is already in kindergarten, the main reason she and her husband have come this far from an online romance is that they never team up to play JJC.
