Dear Broom Knight

What Ruth Kania felt sorry for was, of course, not her biological father who had brought her to this situation.

But her biological mother, who had tried so hard to become the White Dragon Queen and suffered a lot to have children, was still asleep.

Of course, her little bit of regret could be blown away by the imperceptible breeze... White dragons don't have any thoughts of repaying the grace of childbirth.

For someone like Ruth Kania, who was born to suffer, it would be good enough if she didn't hate her parents.

Therefore, Lori always thought Ruth Kania was a good girl. She really considered others, even if it was so insignificant, it was enough for Lori to give her his trust.

Lori never judged whether a person was worth associating with by looking at so-called character, such as kindness, generosity, or holy light shining everywhere.

He wanted to make a friend who could communicate, not find a saint.

Those who only considered issues from their own perspective, even if they were universally praised as kind, Lori would not have any contact with them... He was afraid of being struck by lightning just by looking at them from a distance.

It was okay to think about doing something but not do it, because Lori himself was like that, but you couldn't completely not think about it.

Ruth Kania perfectly met his bottom line for making friends.

The White Dragon King was almost there. The more Lori understood him, the more he felt that his attitude of being friendly on the surface but keeping his distance over the years was very correct.

But allies... who cares about them.

Moreover, that guy Travis probably ran away faster than him.

If Ruth Kania hadn't occasionally slipped up, who would have thought that His Majesty the King, who was now seriously handling state affairs, working hard to build the country, and trying to expand his power, had already prepared to abandon everything when he encountered big trouble?

Moreover, the only preparation he had made for this possibility was Earl Leon Hamilton.

Lori had always been quite wary of the neighbor, but after understanding the various situations, he suddenly felt a little sympathy for Leon.

That guy was really calculated to death.

Didn't Leon completely fall out with his biological mother and younger brother because of those things in the past?

Even the family tree was reopened, with only the paternal line and no maternal line.

And Leon like this could be given a title at any time, directly surpassing his several unpromising half-brothers and instantly becoming the first heir to the throne... No maternal line meant that Leon could have a mother at any time who was so noble that no one could object.

Of course, it would be even better if nothing happened on the White Dragon King's side during this time.

He had enough time to consider a royal family member to replace Leon... Therefore, Leon had been reluctant to marry, and Travis had no objections.

But, thinking about it, you knew that if that kind of situation really happened, Leon, who unexpectedly came to power, would have a miserable life.

Cheska thought for a while and then nodded in agreement: "People who don't know the truth probably only think there is some danger coming, which can indeed be used as a reason.

After all, many people rumored that the Ice and Snow Cult was very good at using hypnotics."

Lori smiled helplessly: "Whatever you want."

He understood what Cheska meant... In the encounter at Montes Castle, the High Tower Church and the Storm Church were able to make such a big deal, which ordinary people could understand.

But the Ice and Snow Cult being so successful was a bit unbelievable.

That was the Earl's daughter-in-law!

Not only did she give birth to a dog, but she herself became a dog.

In the propaganda of the nobles and the church, the Ice and Snow Cult was almost like barbarians.

Therefore, many people didn't accept that someone from the Montes family would be tricked into such a miserable state by the ice and snow barbarians.

Their final conclusion was that the Ice and Snow Cult had mastered a kind of magic that could unconsciously bewitch people.

Even in Lori's territory, many people believed this.

After all, everyone had beaten dogs.

But this was, after all, a shameful event for Montes Castle. Even if Lori had severed ties with that family, he was still a Montes.

Even if Cheska knew he didn't care, she still had to ask.

Lori glanced at Cheska, whose expression was steady, and nodded in satisfaction.

His chief manager clearly knew that although the current situation looked like a storm was about to break, this hurricane had long been prepared to turn.

And the person Lori wanted to guard against would only exist in secret, like those enemies in the past.

The most important thing was a lasting and stable, but never emotionally tense, means of defense.

Cheska lowered her head and examined the various pieces of jewelry in the box for a while: "Baron, although there are many types of jewelry, they can basically be divided into two types: bracelets and necklaces.

Bracelets for men, necklaces for women, how about that?"

Lori blinked in confusion: "Aren't bracelets more of a hindrance to combat?"

Although there were both male and female knights in his territory, under the influence of those real situations in the past, there were still more male knights.

Cheska smiled slightly: "Baron, you don't understand this.

When something becomes a symbol of status, everyone is still willing to let others see its existence."

Lori looked at her in confusion. Although he still didn't quite understand, since Cheska was so confident, he was too lazy to ask: "Whatever you decide is fine."

Cheska turned around and took down two small jewelry boxes, neatly arranged the bracelets and necklaces, and specially chose a few angles to open the boxes.

Then she left with those things, leaving Lori with a pile of documents: "Baron, you'd better sort out these things as soon as possible. There are several more boxes downstairs.

Didn't you say that it's best to investigate everything clearly before spring arrives?"

After pulling in two people to volunteer to help, the amount of information Cheska sent in really increased.

Although she basically made her own decisions about the territory's affairs, Cheska would definitely not take responsibility for this kind of troublesome thing that involved outside the territory, or even other countries.

On a small high table next to Lori's drawing board, the half-meter-high silver box was now full of notes.

Lori sighed slightly, reached out his hand, and began to do his real work... Compared to considering that illusory future that might not come anytime soon, the matter at hand was more important.

—

Lori, who was casually looking at the piece of paper in his hand, suddenly straightened his back.

He rummaged through the pile of documents he had already read for a while and found a few pieces of paper.

Comparing the information inside, Lori blinked violently... He might know why the Lord of Storms had been blocking the door of Vargas next door and blowing tornadoes for so many days.

Some things need to be looked at together.

For example, Sebephia, who suddenly came to Fabrizio to cause trouble at this time, and the mercenary master who insisted on taking a certain scholar away from Lori's territory back to Scroll Mountain, and had to pass by a certain stronghold of the Earth Church.

Of course, this scholar was not important. He was just an excuse for that master to appear in Lori's territory.

Lori almost forgot that the Lord of Storms had blown a blizzard in the Northern Territory for one night because his followers were killed by cultists.

After all, the enemies outside his territory were blown away like that, and his territory was almost unharmed.

But it wasn't that there was no impact at all.

The Lord of Storms had never been very concerned about his followers, so even if someone could hear the illusory voices mixed in his blizzard, he didn't care whether the other party would eventually believe in him.

There was no need for that. The storm was the proof of his existence.

But that didn't mean that the believers of Scroll Mountain could seal the blizzard that carried the reaction of his divine power.

Lori didn't know how this thing appeared... It must have been an accident, otherwise Scroll Mountain wouldn't use such a troublesome method to transfer it.

However, at that time, there were still many strong people from other forces in Lori's territory... Lori only began to expel foreign forces after the change of Montes Castle.

So, it was estimated that a high-level adventurer, most likely a great scholar, suddenly resonated with the silent divine voice in the storm, and then sealed it in a special scroll.

This kind of great scholar must have enough brains. When he left Lori's territory, he would never carry this divine scroll with him.

Moreover, for him, the biggest benefit was the power of the storm he learned in that resonance, so that he could not only release the blizzard spell himself in the future, but also teach it to his students.

Therefore, this person should have sealed the scroll somewhere outside the castle.

By the way, the guy who was lured away by Scroll Mountain seemed to have been in contact with a certain adventure group.

This was normal. After Yuri left, the few apprentices who were left in the territory had tried to find other teachers for themselves.

Lori's mind was spinning rapidly, trying to recall those great adventure groups... and then a line subtly connected.

The adventure group that sent the horses from the distant Southern Plains of Otteson to Lori.

That was an adventure group that had a particularly close relationship with the Earth Church. Some relatively precious goods that were not worth sending by the national caravan of Southern Plains of Otteson would be entrusted to them for delivery.

And for the adventure group, this was also quite cost-effective, after all, they could also take on some cross-border business.

Of course, this meant that they couldn't leave immediately after the goods arrived... Lori knew that those people had been messing around on the iceberg for a long time and had obtained a lot of special materials from the ice plains.
