Dear Broom Knight

Lori's heartfelt sigh seemed to fall on deaf ears with Cheska.

She simply turned and asked her lord, "When do you anticipate Bolanios will leave our territory?"

Lori smiled at her. "Have you noticed the characteristics of Bolanios's circular mountain?"

Cheska replied frankly, "Although the peak itself only covers a thousand meters, it has been constantly absorbing ice and snow."

"The magic array he created with ice crystals is intended to turn that mountain into a place where the top is suitable for magic crystal dragons like Bo Bo, and the middle is suitable for Vis, who has traits of both. This will take at least 20 years.

Dragons are not very good at fighting or flying before their adolescence.

So, I estimate that Bolanios will only allow the children to live on the mountain when they are 25 years old.

These 25 years are for the two little dragons to adapt to the ice peak."

Lori shook his head. "However, with the width of the base of the peak that Bolanios has set, he should also be prepared for 50 years.

That is to say, 50 years after Bo Bo and the others enter their youth, there will definitely be changes that will shock the world.

But it should start in 25 years.

Ruth Kania and Travis's plans should also start from that time.

What will happen, no one knows."

Cheska hesitated for two seconds before asking, "Baron, why are you being so clear about things this time?"

"There's no point in playing dumb anymore," Lori sighed. "When I started desperately helping the Great Banyan Tree take root, those old guys who knew what was going on could guess that I had already guessed it."

"What can I do for you, Baron?" Cheska asked seriously after a moment of silence.

She knew very well that Lori initially planned to play innocent until that time, and then react on the spot based on others' actions.

If the preparations were sufficient, a lot of trouble could be avoided.

What he didn't expect was that Valeria and the Great Banyan Tree's talents were so high... Cheska could still understand this.

Good talent is one thing, but talent comparable to King Travis, who became partners with Ruth Kania, is another matter entirely.

And Ruth Kania, who can turn the King into what he is today, is the daughter of the White Dragon King... or rather, the White Dragon God.

Although Cheska never wanted to admit that the world had long been divided into classes by bloodline, and always emphasized that commoners could also reach the top, she wouldn't deceive herself.

The peaks that people with one in a million talents climb through hard work and bitterness are where some beings are born.

It can only be said that, fortunately, the peaks in their world can still be climbed by ordinary people at will, as long as they have the strength to try.

Not everyone can climb to the top, but most people can look up at the foot of the mountain, a small number can rush to the middle, and there are a negligible few who are lucky enough to grit their teeth and rush to the top, without turning into a dangerous place with no foothold and surrounded by enemies.

Among them, families like hers are of course ordinary people, so they can only hope for the favor of fate.

And her sister, Valeria, really hit the jackpot this time, instantly reaching the pinnacle of the world.

However, her luck is not because of herself, but because of external things... external things that can be taken away.

Although the Great Banyan Tree has wisdom and is unwilling to change its contractors, it has broken through the so-called limit and become a magical plant that can take people further.

Of course, Lori could ignore it, after all, the possibility of this happening is really very small.

But he obviously didn't plan to leave any loopholes for anyone.

It's just that once Lori takes action, showing his extremely cautious state, smart people can see something wrong from his approach without saying much.

Cheska couldn't bring herself to ask the lord to give up Valeria and the Great Banyan Tree.

But she also couldn't continue to offer advice... even if Lori said that with this Great Banyan Tree, the Grezar Barony would definitely be as stable as the ultimate world in the future.

But Cheska knew in her heart that Lori would never hesitate for the safety of outsiders.

And as a great mage who is good at making magical props, in 50 years, no, even after 25 years, he will definitely have enough ability to protect the safety of everyone he cares about.

If he really cared about the territory, he wouldn't do many things the way he did.

Their lord is certainly kind, after all, he knows that the resources that slip through his fingers can make those common people live well, and he is willing to let go a little.

However, Lori's kindness to the people is mainly due to his indifference... especially to the little gold coins that many noble lords are so eager for.

If he really needs to pay a price, he won't do some things.

Lori is more like the kind of person who can't bear to see human suffering, so he simply doesn't look at it.

But he is willing to expose his well-hidden self for Valeria's safety!

Understanding all this but unable to persuade Lori, Cheska suddenly had a very painful realization: she was indeed not as loyal as she thought she was.

The thoughts she once had, such as 'She would never put her own interests above the interests of her lord like Dorisk, and would never sacrifice Lady Yagris's interests for her own sake like Pat,' are all bubbles that can be burst with a single poke in the face of reality.

Her loyalty also has prerequisites!

Cheska's sense of pride, which she had always vaguely felt, shattered at this moment.

She lowered her head slightly, carefully explained the territory's situation she had prepared to report, and after Lori had no objections or other requests, she slowly left the study.

The female knight walking slowly in the front yard of the castle had a look of dejection in her back.

Lori looked at Cheska and couldn't help shaking his head.

He actually knew what Cheska was struggling with... but this is the only way for a qualified general manager.

She must understand that her interests and the interests of the territory are only on one position, one direction, but never the same.

Since Lori greatly increased the power in Cheska's hands, and also helped her take a big step on the road of knights, Cheska has vaguely developed some overly 'loyal' tendencies.

However, Lori doesn't need a dizzy-headed subordinate who sacrifices everything to help him succeed.

He doesn't want to become a king or overlord, and he doesn't need someone to kneel at his feet and die for him.

It's really good that Cheska can understand this because of Valeria's matter.

It saves Lori a lot of trouble.

As for whether Cheska will harm Lori's interests for her own interests in the future because she thinks too openly and clearly... he is not worried about this problem at all.

In fact, what can really hurt the company is not the high-level employees who understand that they are just wage earners with selfish motives.

Those who have regarded themselves as one with the company for many years, and suddenly realize that the company has nothing to do with them, and they are just someone who can be kicked away at any time... are the most terrifying enemies.

At this moment, Lori suddenly realized that he was actually influenced by Travis and Arsaran a lot.

These two are actually believers in Lori's philosophy, and even do it more absolutely than Lori.

Moreover, Lori is very clear that even though he has received a lot of management-type teachings in this world, and is more sensitive to people's hearts and humanity, he is still that宅男 at heart.

He is okay if he follows behind others and does things, but if he makes decisions himself, and even makes decisions for the future of others, he is really not good at it.

He has neither the decisive heart nor the unwavering nature. He is just a hesitant, thinking-left-and-right, seemingly meticulous and cautious, but in essence, a timid宅男.

If it weren't for the innate status of lord, Lori would be more likely to find a high mountain and become a reclusive mage.

He can manage his small company well, thanks to the fact that he was lucky enough to meet the Toler siblings back then.

Although the main reason is that he took the initiative to help them back then, Lori is also clear that the most important thing is that the Toler siblings are all good people with conscience and bottom lines.

Moreover, Valeria and the others have also given Lori enough returns.

It's good now.

As long as Lori doesn't do anything excessive, his big ship will not sink, and the employees on the ship will do their job conscientiously every day, without wanting to change jobs, and are willing to help him transform the ship better, that's enough.

Sacrificing everything and turning yourself into a part of this ship... maybe it will make this ship extremely powerful, but that's too much.

What if someone regrets it when a big storm hits?

It's better to keep it simple.

In that case, even if one day, only he is left on this ship, at least the ship is still there.

Also, the encounters of both his previous and current lives have told him not to really treat people as cows, horses, or puppets.

He didn't have the opportunity to work in a big factory in his previous life, but unfortunately, just when he was tempted, the saying that 996 is a blessing suddenly became popular.

Blessing you M blessing.

If he really wanted to live that kind of bastard life, why would he give up working from home to go to work?

What's the difference between this and staying up all night drawing every day?

Oh, yes, you have to take two hours of public transportation to draw yourself to death there.

Although there are still many things that he can't figure out, Lori feels that Travis's attitude towards his subordinates, although too cold and realistic, is really a little better than those bastards he encountered in his previous life.
