Dear Broom Knight

"Showing goodwill?" Cheska was a little confused. "Mirian's behavior was so foolish, how could it be?"

"Valera isn't really angry," Laurie glanced at her. "As long as she never intended to accept Mirian's pursuit, she won't be angry.

Our Valera isn't the kind of young lady who likes to have as many suitors as possible.

As long as the reason is justifiable, she might even be happy to see Mirian waver."

Indeed, Mirian did waver at one point.

He didn't realize it himself, but Yuri noticed it.

Of course, Laurie also sensed it from Cheska's sneer at the time and some of Valera's reactions... He's the kind of person who can quickly find traces in other people's reactions, but if you ask him to see it himself, he wouldn't understand it even if he looked at it a hundred times – a true 'I see' party.

This doesn't mean that Mirian has already fallen in love with someone else, or that he has a good impression of Rosalind.

Wavering is a silent thing.

It's just that Mirian's love for Valera isn't as firm as it used to be.

Regardless of whether this stems from a girl's excessive sensitivity to emotions, or Yuri's understanding of his younger brother whom he raised, they both noticed Mirian's insignificant wavering.

However, Valera doesn't have the kind of affectation where she clearly doesn't like someone, but still wants a man who has admired her for a long time to keep pursuing her.

Since she never had any feelings for Mirian, she chose to let the matter pass.

As for when Mirian himself will realize that he has the possibility of embarking on another path with beautiful scenery, that's his own business.

Valera doesn't plan to interfere at all.

Laurie can understand her hints, so naturally he can rationally judge all of this.

Cheska nodded: "That's true."

The reason why noble ladies hope to have as many suitors as possible is so that they can attract more outstanding marriage partners.

No matter who it is, once the competitive spirit arises, some less desirable aspects can be overlooked.

But Valera isn't working so hard to marry herself off.

As far as she's concerned, she might as well practice her swordsmanship more than deal with suitors.

Over the years, Mirian certainly hasn't been her only suitor, but the fact that he's the only one left is all thanks to Valera being cold and heartless enough.

There's really nothing Mirian can do.

Firstly, there are some methods that can't be used on him, and secondly, even if they were used, they wouldn't be of much use.

The swordsman profession can only continue if the person has a strong inner self, so... it's impossible to make Mirian waver while he's still persisting.

In fact, it's only because he's pursuing Valera, who is also a swordsman and has a deep understanding of her own heart, that they've been in this stalemate for so many years.

Even if Mirian gives up now, no one will think there's anything wrong with him.

But they will definitely admire Valera even more.

Even if there are some who think they can make the aloof Valera lower her head and take a look, they must have some special qualities: such as being particularly handsome, or particularly good-looking.

Well... it's time for pretty boys to slowly appear.

It's just that Valera hasn't shown any particular hobby, and outsiders still regard her as a chaste lady, so it's so quiet.

However, these pretty boys are very cautious. Unless Valera publicly shows this tendency, they won't make it too obvious.

After all, although pretty boys earn a lot and live well, they... are prone to losing their lives.

According to Laurie's observation, the young Valera doesn't seem to have the interest in playing with the world.

Although Valera isn't ignorant of those things, after all, Pat taught her a lot of good things, she still prefers Mrs. Yagris's quiet life.

Of course, more importantly, there is no one in this world who can earnestly persuade Valera with words like 'That's enough, can anyone love you more than him?', 'Why should women make things difficult for themselves?', 'Instead of choosing to give, choose to be loved'.

Laurie understands that although Valera may be dissatisfied with Yuri's dark methods, she won't vent her anger on Mirian.

At most, she'll think Leon is useless.

To put it bluntly, if Leon had the ability to withstand all the pressure, Yuri wouldn't need to give himself so many patches in advance.

Is it a good thing to leave a treacherous impression on the neighbor next door, who has a promising future and is very likely to reach the top?

Only someone like Laurie, who has long understood the scholar's foundation, can somewhat understand his helplessness.

If it were someone else, even if they were more tolerant by nature, they would inevitably develop a sense of estrangement towards that great scholar.

Even if Laurie, and Laurie's subordinates, can understand this point, then Yuri has completely cut off his possibility of entering the Gezarr Barony.

You must know that Qingfeng Territory has dragons.

Even though there have always been dragons in this world, not many people have actually witnessed them.

Even if these dragons are former enemies, symbols of terror, but... when this creature, which can almost be synonymous with power and immensity, appears, who wouldn't want to take a look?

Even if we don't mention those potential benefits, it's just that, for a person, when there may be a magnificent scene of four, or even five, dragons flying together in the future, and there's a possibility of witnessing that day with their own eyes, but they have to cut it off so early by planning ahead, who would be happy?

The knights in Laurie's territory, even though they had already witnessed the power of Luscania and Bolanios, didn't they also yearn to see what the three little dragons would look like when they grew up!

Of course, this is only for ordinary people.

For Yuri, the great scholar, the most regrettable thing is Laurie himself.

Scholars at his level have basically begun to gradually abandon the study of divine magic and turn to the study of spells.

Although scholars' learning of spells almost drops by two rings, and those who relied too much on divine magic in the past even have to drop by three rings, once they feel the power and freedom of spells, few people can turn back to using the less flexible divine magic.

In places like Toril, where spell slots are used, there is actually no difference to some extent whether scholars use divine magic or spells.

Especially auxiliary spells.

But in a world where you still need to weigh the mana consumption to use spells, spells that can flexibly control the range of mana use are really meaningful.

Of course, most people actually can't reach the day to discuss these things, but Yuri obviously has no problem.

That guy is definitely over level 12.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to independently take charge of Hamilton's magic array control without the support of a mid-level mage.

Of course, the magic array arrangement must have been done by Alsarana himself.

But Alsarana is not only Leon's relative, but also in the same camp as him, and even tied so deeply that it is basically impossible to break free.

Therefore, it can be said that this magic array, apart from leaving some controllable backhands for the White Dragon King, definitely has no other minor problems.

Then, as long as the person who helps Leon control the detection magic array has no problems, Hamilton's safety is absolutely guaranteed.

And to have this ability, you must at least be a fourth-ring mage.

Yuri, the palace faction scholar, should be a sixth-ring scholar... Level 12 or 13 is the minimum.

Laurie was a little surprised at first, but thinking about his mother, he knew that the age gap between Yuri and Yagris was not that big, and his mother was greatly affected by the mess at Montes Castle!

Isn't she also level 13!

It's normal for people with high comprehension, good talent, and a firm mind to go steadily and quickly.

But the sixth ring is the limit for a person to study alone.

Yagris doesn't care about experience and lessons, that's because knights need to train their abilities and will, and even combat skills, in the bloody storm.

According to Yagris's experience, she has experienced these things in advance, and she can't possibly forget them.

But scholars are different, they need to constantly ensure their acquisition of knowledge, especially in the research of magic, it would be a great thing to get the guidance of a proper school mage.

And Laurie, very obviously, belongs to this type, and what he is learning happens to be the part of magic knowledge that Yuri needs most.

According to the Blade of the Tiger and Laurie's fairly harmonious relationship, Yuri should say something if he comes to ask for advice on some common knowledge.

Although he would also have to pay Laurie some resources as a consultation fee, the difference lies in who teaches, how they teach, whether they are serious, and whether they will explain the knowledge from the beginning to the end according to the rune strings that make up the magic runes.

Most mages simply explain it once according to their own understanding... No matter how many people they teach, or who they teach, they all use the same set of statements.

Moreover, if it is Laurie, even if he doesn't understand it, Yuri can still ask.

Rules are rules, but without violating the bottom line, Laurie is definitely more suitable than other mages.

Yuri must also know these things.

He really is a smart person with a bottom line and knows how to respect others.

Having thought of these things, Laurie naturally won't have any resentment towards this great scholar because of his little thoughts.

He actually quite admires people like Yuri.

It's easy to cut off and leave when it's just cutting off other people's interests, giving up other people's feelings, and leaving other people's homes. As long as you are ruthless and have a firm will, many people can do it.

But to cut off and leave what belongs to you, for the sake of other people's interests and feelings... that's really admirable, even if it's a good brother of many years.

Laurie himself can't do it, but he admires this kind of person.
