Dear Broom Knight
#2 - How could I not be a knight?
Looking at the lifelike, miniature version of himself floating in the air, and the rows of large characters to the right of the figure, Lowry felt a pang in his heart: with so many games on the platform, why did he have to play one with a 50% discount?
No, the question should be directed at the unknown entity, whoever it was, that sent him into this world… He changes games every two months, so why did they have to send him over in the one month he was trying to save some money?
He didn't feel like he had been kidnapped, after all, upon closer inspection, the symptoms of a sudden myocardial infarction weren't too difficult to recognize.
Although most people think they're just exhausted from staying up too late and their heart is just acting up when they're not actually dying, when they really are about to die, they know they've truly pushed themselves too far.
As for why he suddenly kicked the bucket, Lowry didn't dwell on it too much.
People like them, living in the Eastern Hemisphere but keeping Western Hemisphere hours, either playing games or rushing to meet drawing deadlines, were already a high-risk group.
There was no choice. If illustration work was a lucrative and trendy industry when he first entered the field, after ten years, with the arrival of AI, all that was left for them was the cold north wind.
Just being able to get work was a blessing; who could still think about their life?
People like him, with some savings and no family to support, could still be picky about their assignments, at least not having to take on the unlucky job of adding details to AI-generated work.
But after all, the industry was in a downturn. Seeing so many big names leaving their jobs in despair, Lowry still had to save a bit to make ends meet. So, when looking for new games, he would always check out the discount section.
However, looking at the simple panel in front of him, with only the basic functions of horse riding and fighting, plus a small farm where he could grow crops, Lowry could only choke back his words.
Actually, at first, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this panel.
Although the ranch could only raise 10 cows and 12 chickens and ducks, and the farm could only grow a dozen kinds of fruits on six acres of land, Lowry was already very satisfied.
Don't look at him as the son of an earl now, the food was just so-so.
Although it was also a fantasy world, what could you expect from a place where even white dragons had become high-end?
The first time he heard that his king could swagger and dominate just because he owned a white dragon, Lowry only felt an unbelievable absurdity.
A white dragon? Wasn't that just a pushover?
Fortunately, before he could say such a stupid thing, he, still an infant, witnessed a beating disguised as a sparring match.
The maid, holding him in front of the window, staring coldly at his father being beaten black and blue by Lowry's mother in the training ground, murmured softly, "A level 12 grand knight, as expected, can overturn this castle.
Although her territory was not large, it happened to be located between the territories of two princes who were fighting fiercely, and one of them was Yagris Baroness's uncle, Earl Gzall.
But at that time, Earl Gzall's political inclinations were a secret, at least on the border.
No one had thought that this extraordinary female knight had been forced to choose marriage for this reason.
Although Yagris had a small territory, her father had been a spendthrift. If it weren't for her good knightly talent and her fighting in the border army for more than ten years, her territory might not have been preserved… Earl Gzall should be asked why her unlucky father suddenly changed from a talented student who could enter the Royal Academy to a lecherous and gambling spendthrift, and died so early.
Of course, Yagris was unwilling to become a pawn of her enemy, so she set her sights on Montes Earl: although he was just a border earl, he had served as the captain of the guard for the current King Blake for 10 years and was deeply trusted by the king.
No one dared to attack this earl; it was almost equivalent to directly provoking the king, who was a dragon knight.
Yes, their King Blake of the Kingdom had a white dragon as his mount.
Of course, this could only prove the strength of their king. White dragons, with their strange tempers and cruel personalities, would not follow humans because of luck or other trivial matters. The only possibility was that they were subdued by force.
In this world, no matter what strange profession, it was difficult to compare with a white dragon that could easily reach level 16.
Especially pure-blooded humans.
Being able to break through level 10 was already a remarkable thing.
Even, after joining the army, you could directly get the corresponding military position.
After Yagris broke through level 10 and became a grand knight, even if those conspiracies were still difficult to resist, at least she didn't have to worry about anyone openly wanting her dead.
If Earl Gzall hadn't dragged in the prince who was worried about making money, Yagris could have found a handsome and cute young man who was willing to stay at home as a lover and continue her family line.
But Yagris could not just give up; she was an iron-blooded knight who could survive in war!
At this time, Montes Earl was also a little annoyed.
His former in-laws, the grandfather of his eldest son, Alex Montes, and his second son, Masud Montes, Earl Giovanni Newman, had inexplicably taken a stand in the middle of those two princes who were fighting each other!
Simply sick!
With him, Montes Earl, here, no one could force them to do anything!
Besides, the princes hadn't reached the age where winning the fight would win them the throne… Who could have a longer lifespan than a white dragon contractor?
So, Earl Newman sold out Montes Earl for that little bit of power or a little bit of profit.
After all, everyone knew that the Newman family had long since declined, and the people who came to them were naturally aiming for Montes Earl.
So the two hit it off… one wanted to teach his muddle-headed former father-in-law a lesson, and the other wanted to find a way out for himself.
After signing the contract: the title of Gzall Baron could only belong to Yagris's son or daughter; and Yagris also guaranteed that she would never attack the Earl's first two sons, they quickly married.
Montes Earl also found a way to exchange the territory of Gzall Baron with a border baron who extremely wanted to join the internal struggle of the kingdom.
Although Gzall Baron's territory was still some distance away from Montes Earl's territory, only a few days' journey was nothing to a knight.
Yagris could completely manage the territory affairs herself, and Montes Earl, who just wanted to solve a problem and didn't want to bring more trouble, would definitely not interfere.
He knew very well that the first day he attacked Gzall Baron's territory would be the day he gave Yagris the permission to attack his two sons.
Level 10, no, Yagris, who was already level 12, could be considered one of the top 10 people in the Earl's territory. Montes Earl didn't want to provoke her.
But the reason why he was willing to marry Yagris was also because she was so strong that he didn't need to worry about any infighting in the back house… Anyone who dared to attack her would definitely feel the combat power of a grand knight who had come out of blood and rain.
With a physique as strong as Yagris's, even poison was useless.
Besides, if his unlucky former father-in-law really had this ability, he might as well have directly poisoned him, Montes, no, simply poisoned one of the princes, it would be over!
Why bother to pit him, an old guy who was almost indifferent to the world!?
Did he really think that he, who was almost retired, really wanted to marry a strong and sturdy, fierce grand knight home?
That would require giving her a legitimate heir!
When the people of the Earl's territory discovered these unspoken secrets that could be understood by themselves, Countess Yagris and Young Master Alex tacitly kept their distance.
Montes Earl's mansion returned to peace.
The only consequence of this matter was that Young Master Alex had a third son, and some ignorant unlucky people who dared to intervene in the internal affairs of the Earl's mansion without knowing anything lost their lives.
As for whether these guys were really unlucky, or were lured by outsiders to lose their minds, no one cared.
Anyway, the young master clearly chose his own father between his grandfather and his father.
Fortunately, Lowry's sister-in-law didn't have any problems because of this, so everyone could maintain their politeness.
