Dear Broom Knight

#223 - Your caravan, I agree

“That's true,” Lowry replied calmly, “At least the Church of Wealth can pretend to be blind.”

It's not a problem to be defeated, and being robbed is an inevitable disaster for caravans… but for such a large church, knowing who the robbers are, yet not daring to retaliate, is more than just a matter of losing face.

Especially in a place like the Church of Wealth, where merchants gather and like to consider cost issues the most.

This situation will inevitably affect believers' perception of the church.

Generally speaking, even if they cover it with a piece of rag that everyone thinks is unnecessary, it's still a step for the other side to slide down smoothly.

But if you don't even bring this cloth… no, Luskaniya might not think of these things, but the White Dragon King can't possibly have no reaction at all.

There's only one possibility for him to do this.

“You're using the Church of Wealth to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, and the show of strength is perfect enough,” Lowry asked dissatisfiedly, “But now, you're making me bear the consequences?

But he had no choice back then!

As he spent more and more time traveling outside, the White Dragon King realized that the biggest obstacle to his ascension was definitely not his brothers and sisters… even his own father didn't have that ability.

The church, which represented the close cooperation between the white dragon and the kingship and was most wary and dissatisfied with him, was the biggest trouble.

He had to do something to make the other side consider it for a longer time… at least not rush out to make trouble on the day he ascended the throne.

However, he could never directly, or even be the first to, cause trouble for the Church of the Storm.

This wasn't because of the Storm Lord, who could be considered the most active among the gods, but because the Church of the Storm had too much power in the Northern Kingdom, and even had many hidden forces that the royal family had never been able to find.

It was okay to confront them, but the White Dragon King wouldn't cause trouble for them for no reason.

Among the six major churches, the easiest to deal with were actually the Church of the Earth and the Church of Wealth.

The Church of the Earth was because they had too many branches, and one side being unlucky might be applauded by the other.

Even if they didn't feel anything, they wouldn't possibly lend a helping hand.

Therefore, as long as you didn't raise the feud between yourself and the church to the level of the gods, it was okay to offend the Church of the Earth.

When you needed to ask them for help, just deal with another branch.

As for the Church of Wealth, it was just a pile of loose sand.

Don't look at how loudly they shout, but merchants… value profit over righteousness.

This kind of force composed of merchant alliances is actually very easy to deal with. When others are being beaten, the other caravans will only take the opportunity to run away, and will never rush up to help.

Of course, if the enemy is easy to deal with, it might be another matter… but the enemies who dare to rob the Church of Wealth's caravans are generally not easy to deal with.

If it were someone else, they might choose the Church of the Earth, which is 'honest' and definitely wouldn't seek revenge, to establish their authority.

But he, the one he brought with him was a white dragon!

When Luskaniya got excited from robbing, she was almost about to directly state her honorable name, so that these caravans would directly offer tribute when they encountered her!

Then what hesitation did the White Dragon King have?

As for making enemies… he was actually careful to avoid disrespecting the Goddess of Wealth herself, pretending to just be going for the money.

In short, what he looked down on was just the church, and it had nothing to do with the gods themselves.

Just as he thought, the Goddess of Wealth had no interest in these trivial matters at all.

Moreover, it was her creed to protect her own property with her own power.

Then what did he have to worry about? Just rob them.

As for the feud he made, he had already prepared to bear it.

After all, his goal was indeed achieved.

His actions were excessive, his personality was irritable, and he was a bit reckless. Adding the greedy and fierce Luskaniya, the moment they directly participated in the battle for the throne, the major churches hesitated for a moment, and no one directly opened their mouths to stop them.

They were all worried that whoever spoke would have to endure the endless revenge of these two people with extreme personalities.

Moreover, no one could guarantee that they could really block the other party's path to the throne if they went out to stop them.

Faced with the major event of creating an enemy who dared to do anything for their own family for no reason, everyone would hesitate for a moment.

Then, he smoothly ascended the throne.

As for those brothers who directly rebelled because they were dissatisfied with him… no matter who was standing behind them, or what support they received, it was a royal family turmoil. No one could say that any god was dissatisfied when he ascended the throne.

The church itself would definitely not be able to say it either.

Otherwise, why did you refuse at that time?

Could it be that you, as a devout believer and the darling of the gods, were unwilling to convey the will of the gods?

No matter how much those guys hated him, they could only choose to find trouble for him in crooked ways.

The White Dragon King wasn't afraid of this.

Most importantly, based on his understanding of Lowry, the fact that this guy was speaking in this tone meant that he was prepared to wipe out everyone who came from the Church of Wealth.

Lowry's wipe out, in the words of this Baron Gesar, was an extermination.

Guaranteeing that none of his enemies would be left.

However, the White Dragon King also knew very well that since Lowry felt it wasn't worth it, he'd better make up the difference quickly.

At least if he took it out voluntarily, he could still control the rhythm and cost.

But if Lowry took it himself through Luskaniya at that time, it would really be a bit unbearable.

Mainly, this child's vision is really high.

Both high and picky, he doesn't even glance at anything that isn't a proper good thing.

But these resources, which even he, as the King of the North, feels heartache to lose even one of, really can't be casually taken by Lowry.

Some things, even if they are always placed there and never used, can't be without any.

As a king who came out of the flames of war, he understands the meaning of the existence of some strategic materials the most.

But Lowry has always disdained these things, so he's a bit unscrupulous when doing things.

Of course, the White Dragon King also understands in his heart that Lowry is actually reasonable.

If there's something that's really indispensable, then Lowry definitely won't refuse to exchange it for him… it's just that it's definitely not possible to exchange it equally, one thing for one thing.

The White Dragon King pondered what good things he had in his warehouse that could tempt Lowry… however, he was a little reluctant to part with every item that could move Lowry.

Then, he suddenly thought of Lowry's application.

The White Dragon King asked with his most solemn attitude: “Then, your caravan application, I'll grant it specially, okay?”

?

Lowry couldn't help but tilt his head and dig his ears.

He almost thought that his ear canal was stuffed with overly lively live feathers!

Then he quickly reacted: “You plan to make Count Gesar move?

You're using me as bait, and you still want to take this as compensation for me?

Your Majesty, are you thinking too well?”

“Lowry, Lowry, ah Lowry~” The White Dragon King couldn't help but laugh, “You really have the style of Arsalan now!

Everyone understands that your document is just a provocation to Count Gesar, so this is a battle between the two of you.

However, as the King of the North, if I bypass the Noble Affairs Office and the Commerce Office and give you a special permit, it proves that I, the king, am dissatisfied with Count Gesar.

He can't possibly have any more thoughts about you because of this matter.

A nobleman who has been officially declared war on by the king of his own country, what else can he do besides thinking about how to preserve the lives of his entire family?”

Even his master wouldn't dare to help him openly.

After the White Dragon King issued this special permit, all the open protection would disappear from Count Gesar's territory.

The people in that territory couldn't even find a place to turn to.

No one dared to move.

This was his dignity as a king.

Whoever dared to challenge would have to face the king's anger directly.

“What happened that you're making such a big deal out of it?” Lowry asked in confusion, “Just for your administrative officer?”

“Lowry, look… I've ruled the Northern Kingdom for so long, and someone actually dares to secretly become an enemy of me and plot against the administrative officer beside me just to get a position in the Noble Affairs Office,” The White Dragon King said calmly, “Even if his family was implicated and could only return to their territory to live because of the royal family turmoil.

However, isn't the struggle within the royal family always like this?

They aren't the first, nor will they be the last.

If he can betray me, the king, when he has the opportunity because he doesn't accept his fate, then what about others?”

The White Dragon King gently took a breath: “I haven't officially taken action for too long, which is why so many people have lost their reverence for me.

Of course, what I definitely want to do most is to kill the chief priest of the Storm Church, and Schroeder.

Unfortunately, it's not possible yet.

Although the Storm God won't protect his subordinates who have made big mistakes, he definitely won't think it's a problem to just plot and add trouble to me, the king.

That one, although he doesn't care about many things, it doesn't mean he doesn't feel uncomfortable at all in his heart.”

Lowry could understand.

In short, the Storm Lord is really the most vivid and human-like existence among the several gods in this world.

Although he is vengeful, he clearly expresses his love, hate, and grudges.

The other few… are almost becoming real statues.

The Goddess of the Night is a little better, but she only pays excessive attention to the affairs of the High Tower Church. Other church affairs are also carried out according to procedures.

But at least you can still tell that she's alive.

However, having a human touch also means that they will be angry, they will be furious, they will turn against each other over a little thing, and they will even favor their own people.

Of course, the White Dragon King isn't afraid of the Storm Church, but he won't directly overturn the table before he has enough evidence to make the Storm Lord abandon those people.
