Dear Broom Knight

"Lowry," Travis gently reminded him.

Arsalan stiffened: "Are you saying, it's possible, that something might be useful later on?"

"Not later, but now." Travis looked up at the sky. "Now that the gods have begun to move, there must already be some kind of omen.

Otherwise, they would never dare to violate the will of the world."

Although the World Will was the first to fall, it was also the most powerful.

Even after so many years, the various laws he set down remain unshaken.

Travis didn't have much respect for the gods. The only one he still looked up to was the Lord of Storms, with his violent temper and stubborn personality.

Although this one acted arrogantly, he really hadn't violated any established laws.

He sealed the gates of Vargas for so long some time ago, and when it was over, he didn't do anything more.

Even though he knew that many people in Vargas had participated in this matter, he only executed the ringleaders.

The rest of his anger was directed towards Scroll Mountain.

Or, there's also the Lord of Knowledge in the starry sky.

Travis could tell from the behavior of his subordinates, those great scholars, just how chaotic Scroll Mountain had been recently.

But what he could see even more clearly was the Lord of Knowledge's lack of control over Scroll Mountain.

If it had been the Lord of Storms, or even the Goddess of the Night, who was overly doting on her followers, they would never have allowed those guys to live after such an offense.

But Scroll Mountain was clearly only split, and not just left with the followers of the Lord of Knowledge.

Even those who wanted to take the opportunity to become gods were still causing trouble outside, directly reaching out to his Northern Lands!

He could tell at a glance what Yuri of the Lyon family was up to.

And Yuri had always had close ties with certain scholars from the Adventurer's School, so he often knew some news earlier.

This couldn't be helped. Even though he came from the Court School, after he left the court with Lyon, his teachers and senior brothers and sisters were all unwilling to contact him much.

Of course, it wasn't as if they didn't care about him at all.

Yuri's spiritual sea had been locked by his teacher with all the school's divine arts and spells below the seventh circle, and he also carried many life-saving trinkets given by his senior brothers and sisters, even taking away secret scroll techniques that only great scholars possessed.

They were just trying to prevent some trouble, so they didn't contact him much... Well, the news from Scroll Mountain seemed to be better than that of his court spies!

The royal family would definitely not interfere with anyone helping Lyon's subordinates.

Yuri's brainless family would definitely just hide and not care about anything. They probably didn't even know what was going on.

Except for Lyon's birth mother's side, even the princes who joined forces to instigate this matter back then would no longer do anything more.

Having gone to this extent, going after a drowning dog would only arouse everyone's disgust.

After all, he was a nephew who no longer had any chance of competing.

It was okay to have no feelings, but you couldn't do it blatantly.

Moreover, acting too excessively would only make people doubt their magnanimity and keep them at a distance.

They weren't in a position where the situation was already decided; the nobles and ministers still had a choice.

The only one who would act recklessly, regardless of the consequences, was Lyon's birth mother.

In order to make her youngest son safer and more competitive, she suppressed her eldest son almost maniacally.

If 60 percent of the troubles Lyon encountered after leaving the palace stemmed from his adventurous spirit, then the remaining 40 percent all stemmed from his birth mother and the family that listened to her every word.

Travis really hadn't thought that much at the time. After all, no matter what, the Xisar family's methods only created some opportunities for Lyon to grow, and didn't really harm his life.

Even the children taken in by the Fierce Tiger Adventurer Group only suffered minor scrapes and frights.

The White Dragon King sighed slightly: he had always thought that a waste was a waste.

But sometimes, a waste really makes people lose their vigilance.

Even he had made this mistake.

With his pampered life, it's already pretty good that he became a level 10 knight in his thirties."

"Didn't they say he had more talent than Lyon?" Arsalan asked curiously. "I remember Lyon was level 10 before he was 30! He didn't have the resources his younger brother did."

"Resources?" Travis sneered. "Resources are only useful before level 10.

Without that awareness, unable to see through even life and death, one can only be... the most mediocre of knights."

This wasn't any secret.

There's a reason why the military always has the most high-level knights.

The formation of a knight's core requires a firm will and tenacious mental strength.

Those with incomparably strong talent can indeed pass this step more easily than others, perhaps just by having a stronger desire to become stronger.

But their strength will definitely be far behind those with truly firm wills.

Lyon's younger brother, Travis didn't even want to look at him.

With such great talent, he would still be drenched in sweat and weak in the legs even when walking in front of Ruthkania.

He performed even worse than the level 3 low-level knights under Lowry!

Ruthkania mentioned to him when they were chatting that, before she came back, Lowry's city guards were already able to patrol normally within a hundred meters of where she was!

Patrolling, mind you, wearing a full set of armor, holding a long spear, sword, and shield.

Although his palace guards could also do it, but, the knights who can enter the palace guards are at least level 6 middle-level knights!

Travis originally wanted to ask Lowry how he trained his own knights, but later he found that there was nothing to ask.

That kid was just a hands-off shopkeeper, providing enough supplies and then leaving everything to that kid named Taylor.

And Taylor was a particularly honest person.

He sincerely used knightly virtues to demand of himself, and naturally demanded the same of his subordinates.

It sounded a bit like Alex, but, in reality, it wasn't.

Alex was a typical example of being lenient with himself but strict with others.

Of course, he wasn't really that stupid, to the point of having to show off his specialness.

It's just that in his heart, he regarded himself as the master of the knights.

After all, he was the one to whom the knights knelt and swore allegiance.

Even Lyon couldn't say anything about his divisive behavior.

However, Alex forgot that, not to mention the knights in front of him had all come for the Adventurer Group and liked freedom, even if they weren't that type of person, they were still Northerners.

Can you control what people in other countries do?

Even those who knew his identity wouldn't bother with him.

The main reason why the Fierce Tiger Adventurer Group, including Lowry later, were willing to tolerate him was his unusually solid knight basic training course.

The Icefield Royal Family didn't mention anything else, but they had a particularly excellent standard in knight training.

The Northern Royal Family of course also had their own style, but, it wasn't suitable for people without their bloodline to use.

The Icefield Royal Family's, however, could, and they were very good at helping people correct their bad habits, forming that accurate, even rigid, standard.

This was really rare for an Adventurer Group with no inheritance.

What did it matter to suffer a little?

Lyon had never regretted letting his subordinates respect and love Alex so much.

Just like Lowry had never regretted the jewelry, ornaments, and magical equipment he gave to Alex in those years.

Alex was just a bit arrogant, he wasn't stupid.

However, that little Taylor in Lowry's family was really very, knightly.

He did very well in the knightly standards of loyalty to superiors, love for subordinates, and respect for ordinary people.

As for cruelty to enemies, this hasn't been seen yet... Besides the lord himself participating in a few major events, there have been almost no minor events in Qingfeng Territory.

In addition, most of the guards had been following Taylor since they were young, so they would naturally be infected by him to some extent, so they were all quite, determined and enthusiastic.

Travis was a bit envious.

But he also knew that he couldn't raise such children on his side.

There was no such living environment.

In this regard, he, the king, was probably not as good as Lowry.

Fairness and justice are easy to say, but not many people can do it.

Lowry could, one was that he was really rich, and the other was that he really didn't care.

That kid had a bit of a unique personality. It was difficult for others to enter his heart except for those he truly cared about.

But his personality wasn't because of selfishness and self-interest. Lowry was quite tolerant and generous by nature, and he could really see other people's strengths.

What was most incredible was that, even though his heart was so small, he respected people very much.

If he got something from others, Lowry would definitely give back immediately.

Although the practice of not owing anyone favors actually showed his inner indifference.

But Lowry never forgot kindness, and never failed those who had high hopes for him.

What else could you want?

Even towards trading partners, he never treated them unfairly.

This, in fact, really made people feel comfortable.

In Travis's 'down-to-earth' eyes, friendship was built up through repeated contact, rather than a sudden connection and a burst of enthusiasm and sincerity like in knight novels.

Arsalan couldn't help but glance at Travis again, interrupting his thoughts: "If he's so useless, what did the artifact fragment see in him?

In the past, those who wielded artifacts seemed to be very outstanding, right?

At least they wouldn't be so silent and unremarkable."
