Dear Broom Knight

Of course, Lorry wouldn't let these little birds go to any particularly dangerous places. Besides, he didn't need to know Earl Hamilton's secrets, so the hall where banquets were held all year round was his target.

It wasn't just that he wanted to gossip, but rather, this kind of grassroots exchange was the information he lacked the most.

Sometimes, the exchanges between small and medium-sized nobles can reveal a lot of things.

In particular, dissatisfaction with those in power always accumulates, and in the beginning, it must appear in the form of complaints.

Then, these small nobles will naturally reveal some information in the social season's exchanges.

They are the ones who exchange the most information about each other's lives.

Then Lorry can make some preparations in advance.

Of course, he's not afraid of the dissatisfaction of these small nobles, but if it's something he can do easily, especially if he's gone a bit too far, Lorry wouldn't insist on continuing.

He's not really here to make things difficult for everyone... Qingfeng Territory's wealth and power have already made these small nobles very envious and jealous.

There won't be any hatred, Lorry can no longer be considered one of their kind.

During the social season, the Earl's Castle is essentially semi-open, and it's no problem for Lorry to find someone trustworthy to go over... He might even not notify someone that this is happening.

However, Lorry doesn't have this plan yet.

After all, unlike Leon's time, the social season at Hamilton Castle is more comprehensive, and there will naturally be various chambers of commerce opening shops there... This is all thanks to Lorry.

For the chambers of commerce, if they want to open up new trade routes in an unfamiliar place, they need a lot of planning and arrangements.

They deliver goods, but there are no logistics organizations to entrust, so they can only rely on their own people to travel back and forth.

However, most chambers of commerce have to go to Qingfeng Territory twice a year anyway.

From Qingfeng Territory to Hamilton Territory, they only need to borrow a ship from Lorry, and they don't even need to use a magic ship.

Qingfeng Territory's big white sailboats are fast and stable, and the magical creatures living in the lake, especially those large aquatic plants that love to entangle ships, won't touch these sailboats, and the round trip only takes half an hour.

After the new Earl Hamilton discovered this, he immediately sent people to renovate the small pier on their side, and even repaired the road leading to Hamilton Town in the middle of winter to be wide and straight, and also added a magic circle that wouldn't be submerged by wind and snow.

The former Leon Hamilton didn't care about this.

However, it's actually understandable that when Lorry's side started to have a large number of merchant caravans coming and going, Leon and Yuri already knew that their future wasn't in Hamilton.

They're not stupid, how could they spend their own money for the latercomers to enjoy?

The fact that they handed over the original Hamilton without any damage to Ezra shows that these two are indeed quite ethical.

You should know that Yuri spent a lot of effort to barely recover the costs he had paid before they left.

In short, thanks to the specialties of that big iceberg and the convenient transportation, the Hamilton Earl Territory established the most complete commercial street in almost the shortest time.

Lorry is quite curious about that Bowen scholar who handled these things in an orderly manner. This person and Yuri are really two different types of assistants.

Although Ezra is also considered half a hands-off shopkeeper, he will put forward his own requirements. In addition, the Countess Hamilton also has her own needs, so Bowen can never have Yuri's freedom.

Bowen's daily administrative work is actually definitely more than Yuri's.

Yuri's side is more like giving orders, and Milian and the others are the ones who accept the tasks and then arrange for other people to work.

What Bowen does is more like a combination of half of Yuri and Milian and the others.

But he still completes it very well.

Not as comprehensive as Yuri, and even hides murderous intentions everywhere, but it makes everything look orderly and more secular.

The current Hamilton Territory is really much more lively than in the past.

— —

Little spirit birds will naturally choose to hide in the place with the strongest magic energy, so Lorry's field of vision is almost the same as that of the Earl and Countess Hamilton.

The changes he felt, the Earl and Countess Hamilton naturally also observed.

"Did the Macmillan family have any Storm Knights participate in the previous war?" Countess Hamilton couldn't help but ask softly.

"No," Ezra replied decisively, "They went to the Eastern Territory back then."

"The Sebephia family?" The Countess realized, "It seems that, for the gods, the existence of that family is not a secret."

"Heh ~" Ezra sneered.

For the Northern Royal Family, although they are not surprised by this, they are actually not very happy.

If it is said that after the White Dragon King ascended the throne, the Northern Royal Family can be said to have gotten rid of the control of the Storm Church, then before that, the Royal Family was more or less influenced by the Church.

At least, the previous Kings were very devout to the Lord of Storms.

However, interestingly, the King who really got all kinds of news from the Lord of Storms was Travis, who was the least respectful to the gods.

"God will not bow his head to those who kneel at his feet just because they pray sincerely enough," Bowen warned from behind the desk, "He will only see the people who can stand in front of him.

This is not a problem of God, he may not even know the priests who are kneeling before him."

Ezra took a deep breath: "Sorry, Bowen, I was getting carried away."

Bowen noncommittally lowered his head and continued to look at the documents: "You, please be careful!

Look at that High Priest Schroeder, and you will know whether you can stand or only kneel."

However, this seems to be a common problem for many Northern nobles, especially members of the Royal Family.

The White Dragon King has been in power for too long, so long that some young people who have never seen the power of the gods have forgotten the terror of the gods.

Fortunately, His Majesty Travis intends to retire quickly, otherwise, after a few hundred years of such days, the Northerners would probably be so arrogant that they would even forget that the Lord of Storms is the national faith.

In addition, the situation in the Northern Territory is very special.

If it were in another place or another person, even if they were not afraid of the Storm Church, they would not dare to attack their priests and bishops, let alone cause trouble at the gate of the Storm Church.

The Lord of Storms will not reject the heart of revenge, but it does not mean that the revenger dares to despise him.

Unless he gets his consent in advance.

But, who can do this except the Lord of Qingfeng Territory?

Therefore, fools are easily caught in the illusion that the Lord of Storms is not so terrible.

And Earl Ezra is the kind of simple person who is easily deceived by the outside world.

Bowen doesn't know why.

Obviously, he can be ruthless and take action, and his judgment on people and things is not a problem, but he just lacks a string occasionally, and is instantly taken away by a certain atmosphere.

But it's not always like this.

It's just that he doesn't know when, he occasionally does it once.

No, Ezra should be that his illness has not ended this time... Bowen thought thoughtfully, is it because he almost fell for the Deputy Commander's trick that time but was forcibly stopped halfway, causing his illness to not be fully developed?

I have to try it.

After Bowen made up his mind, he continued to work hard... He can only do this himself, he will not expose Ezra's problems to anyone, even Ezra's wife and children.

Regardless of whether they have long suspected it, these words will not come from Bowen's mouth.

Countess Hamilton usually does not intervene in the conflict between the two, so she just pulled the topic back: "That is to say, the Macmillan who came to the Northern Territory is not..."

Bowen put down the pen in his hand with a headache, and said helplessly: "The Macmillans are not all Storm Knights, and the Storm Knights are not all Macmillans.

If a Macmillan Storm Knight really died in the Northern Territory, Serestia, as the heir, could not not know.

Her shock can only be because a Storm Knight she doesn't know has appeared in the Northern Territory!

That means that the Storm Temple has done something in the Northern Territory!

What she is worried about is completely different from what we are worried about!"

"Then we can't know the reason, can we?" Countess Hamilton didn't care about Bowen's increasingly loud voice.

She has been married to Ezra for so many years, and she has long been accustomed to the style of first saying her own judgment under his influence, and then being denied or even corrected by Bowen.

Anyway, no matter how angry Bowen is that they don't look at the cause and effect and just speculate based on a little known information, he will automatically and consciously give a suitable response.

Moreover, he will definitely supplement those things they don't know clearly.

So, she just asked with a smile: "Then, what is the most likely reason?"

Bowen took a deep breath: "The avatar of the Lord of Storms has always existed in the Northern Territory of our country.

This is also the reason why no matter how strong the attitude of our King towards the Storm Church is, the main temple can't say anything.

Also, if it were in another country, High Priest Schroeder would never have been sentenced to so many punishments.

He was not caught in the act, understand?

The Schroeder family obviously has a backing in the Storm Temple, and some things cannot be done by a high priest alone.

Especially those terrible experiments.

There must be even more powerful beings behind it.

If they dare to do this in the Northern Territory, certain countries with stronger Storm Church forces must be even more terrifying.

Therefore, for so many years, although the Schroeder family has been able to cause trouble, they have not done too much.

Until the incident of the Gezal family happened.

Even the Macmillan family, who has always been very concerned about the Schroeder family, knew nothing about those things, which was very strange.

The person who sent the Storm Knight to the Northern Territory either has something important to report to the Lord of Storms, and even can only come secretly.

Or, they are trying to deceive the eyes of the Lord of Storms, and even trying to find a way to take him to another place."
