Dear Broom Knight
#177 - We are all newbies
"An old man who doesn't die is a thief."
Lowry couldn't help but mutter this sentence in his heart.
Of course, those old guys knew that Lady Yagris would do that because she had Lowry's consent, or even most likely his suggestion.
However, the initial rejection didn't mean that Lowry wouldn't take advantage when he saw an opportunity.
Lowry didn't even need to reply to them; as long as greed arose and he kept this letter, he could regain the face he had lost this time due to being pierced through and suppressed by Lady Yagris.
They could completely say that Lady Yagris had abandoned the interests of her own son for her power and status, choosing to stand on Fabris's side.
The ancestral land had only agreed under duress.
Even those past messes, they could say they were forced to do them.
But, knowing that doing so was wrong, yet making the wrong decision under pressure, they still compensated the unfortunate Baron Gezar in the end.
There was nothing more to say about them.
Lowry chuckled coldly, directly closed the alchemy isolation platform, and then used the strongest elimination magic circle to clean up the letter... first completely crushing it, then directly igniting the fragments, then using purification water to clean up the flying dust, and finally using a vortex to throw the water into another dimension.
"Baron!" Cheska, who had been watching everything, exclaimed, "Just now that letter, after it burned, there was a puff of pink smoke!"
Of course, Lowry had seen it long ago, and even used the analysis magic circle accompanying the isolation platform to find the origin of this thing: lust dust.
Although there was no goddess of love and lust in their world, as long as there were people, it was impossible not to have these messy things.
It's just that this stuff is basically being tossed around by some scholars and mages who take unorthodox paths.
He asked a little distractedly: "Cheska, has our castle had any outside guests recently?"
"People want to come every day, but they have all been rejected," Cheska quickly replied, "Who wouldn't want to see a dragon up close?
Even people from the inland areas are here."
"Hmm..." Lowry raised his head and looked at Cheska, quickly shaking his head in denial.
If he just didn't want to see this letter, or hadn't even considered it and immediately wanted to destroy it, then he shouldn't have listened to Cheska's nonsense and just asked her to leave.
Besides, the reaction of the lust powder wasn't that fast.
Lowry tilted his head, unable to figure out for a long time who in the castle could take advantage of him... Although this stuff doesn't have any antidote, it doesn't actually harm the body, and it doesn't necessarily require certain behaviors to be resolved.
Even if Lowry was unlucky enough to be hit, he would only need to hide in his room for two or three days.
To put it bluntly, that stuff would only make him think a sow was Diao Chan, but it wouldn't force him to pounce on a sow.
Lowry didn't think that his willpower couldn't withstand this little temptation.
Cheska looked at her Baron's confused and faintly frantic expression and asked with certainty: "Baron, if I'm not mistaken, that's lust powder?"
This stuff is all something that they, these nobles... regardless of gender, have to learn as a key part of certain self-defense courses from childhood.
Some people always think that having a physical relationship can change everything.
Although regardless of gender, everyone who is hit would at most think they were bitten by a dog, the matter is still disgusting.
It's best not to be bitten.
So, Cheska also recognized it, she just wasn't sure.
Lowry nodded: "Does the Montes ancestral land have some kind of problem?"
"We have a lady in our castle who can force you, Baron," Cheska said directly.
Compared to Lowry, who was uninterested in certain things and never bothered to understand them, Cheska, who had read many strange tales, thought of the key point instead.
Lowry wasn't stupid, Cheska had said it so clearly, and of course he thought of who it was.
He said a little stammeringly: "You, you, you are saying Ruthcania?
She is, in the future, the child's mother!
Bolanios is still here!"
The last sentence, Lowry almost shouted it out.
"But, white dragons are famously indiscriminate," Cheska said simply, "Bolanios, whether she will leave angrily or simply join in, no one can be sure.
But, this can indeed disrupt their fertility plan... if she becomes pregnant with a dragonkin, then Ruthcania will have no way to return to her white dragon form for at least a year."
Lowry was truly outraged.
This was an insult to the friendship between him and Ruthcania!
Cheska said comfortingly: "Well... but, Baron, I always felt that when Ruthcania looked at you, her eyes were very similar to Lady Yagris's.
The ancestral land is really thinking too much.
You don't need to be so angry, what good person can think of all good things as dirty?"
Lowry rolled his eyes at Cheska... He did know that Ruthcania occasionally wanted to be his mom, but the two of them still had pure friendship.
Mainly because he had never thought about being Ruthcania's dad.
Even if he had been a 'dad' to his roommates and classmates when he was in school, and the friendship was absolutely deep, Ruthcania was still a girl, no matter how silly she was.
Lowry couldn't say those words at all.
Cheska was still a little confused: "Is the Montes ancestral land not planning to interact with the outside world anymore?
After what happened to you today... who would continue to associate with them?
Even cults wouldn't dare to do what they did..."
Lowry shook his head: "I saw it, the problem was the sticker on the letter."
"What... stick..." Cheska couldn't figure it out for a moment, muttered for a while before shouting, "Wait, Baron, are you saying that little maple leaf that Qingfeng Valley verifies as an official document and sticks to the back of the letter?
How... is that possible?
Valera and Charles wouldn't be deceived to this extent, would they?"
"I can only swallow this loss," Lowry smiled casually, "If I didn't have the brains to make a fuss about it, I would only be losing my own face."
Cheska's brain was clearly still in a knot.
"Don't think about it... it's probably the church wanting to give me a warning," Lowry curled his lips, "I knew it.
The Nightside, I just gave them too much face."
Cheska finally connected the things together: "You, just because of the church's power, you suffered such a big loss, and there was even..."
Even the Storm Church didn't say anything, what right do they have..."
"If they had the idea of what right they have, some things wouldn't have happened," Lowry raised his hand to stop her, "It should be because of that Ians that they saw a bright future, so they cheered up again.
Then they looked at me, who dared to disrespect the incarnation of God, and didn't like it.
They don't need to pay any price, just change a sticker halfway.
Ordinary knights can't possibly see through their traces.
Don't be so angry, in their eyes, even if I know about this later, what can I do?
Anyway, my attitude towards the church has always been cold, could it be even more excessive?
I guess in their eyes, I am now a dog who relies on the dragon's power, and it's not a waste to kick me."
"Baron, what should we do?" Cheska calmed down and asked with a serious face.
She wouldn't believe that Lowry would really swallow this anger!
Growing up, Lowry had never tolerated anger from anyone other than his parents.
"I won't introduce any other church into Gezar because of getting angry with the Nightside Church," Lowry smiled, "This is the most fundamental thing, I will never allow anyone to point fingers at me in my territory.
He turned around and walked out of the laboratory, looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the study for a moment: "Cheska, this matter may just be the Nightside's willfulness, but there is also the possibility of other forces secretly intervening.
Ruthcania only notified me yesterday that she is indeed pregnant with a dragon egg."
Cheska suddenly raised her head: "Today, it seems that only Mr. White Dragon flew out."
"Yes, Ruthcania won't go out in the first month, she needs to absorb a lot of ice energy in the snow," Lowry replied with a smile, "For now, we can only choose to respond to all changes with no change."
Then he slowly ordered: "To make the territory safer, Cheska, you go and notify Valera, from today onwards, we will no longer allow any outsiders to enter the territory.
Qingfeng Valley will only purchase goods from afar, but will not sell them for the time being.
Let Valera handle it herself, for some merchants who may be damaged as a result, remember to add a little money to them.
There is no need to be stingy with problems that can be solved with money."
"Yes! Baron!"
Cheska knew that her Baron would eat everything, but he wouldn't suffer losses.
There was really nothing to say about this matter, after all, the knight who was plotted against, and she, the receiver, didn't find any problems.
In fact, the person who did the worst was herself.
Moreover, this matter was originally her and Valera's negligence... they had been using a maple leaf sticker with a special color for so long.
She underestimated the people of the world, and as a result, she was taught a lesson.
She looked at the ground with fierce eyes, biting her lip silently, and decided to go to Qingfeng Valley herself to discuss the countermeasures with Valera.
At least this sticker can definitely not be used anymore.
"No need to make things so difficult for yourself," Lowry said without raising his head, "Tell Valera, don't make even more wrong decisions for the previous mistakes.
I don't think you are derelict in your duties, after all, I didn't find it myself.
This maple leaf was researched by me!
Just correct it in time, we are all newbies."
