Dear Broom Knight
#577 - The agonizing wait
Almuth slowly erased some of the impressions of Laurie he had gleaned from His Majesty Travis and Archmage Arsalan from his mind… At the very least, this person was definitely not impulsive.
Logically speaking, information about a demigod wouldn't be much of an impact on a mage whose mental strength wasn't inferior to that of a dragon of the same level; they could probably search it in a few seconds.
But 'Toronto' didn't even think about doing that.
You have to know that the place where he has been standing firmly is the only safe point in this sun illusion.
As long as Almuth didn't want his dear sister to suffer, he would never dare to easily deal with the 'Toronto' mage standing on the dark spot that was stable but really flammable and explosive.
If it were Almuth himself, he wouldn't dare guarantee that he wouldn't be curious at all… He could tell that 'Toronto' really didn't know the demigod he was talking about.
It was normal for 'Toronto' not to know about a demigod who had been dead for tens of thousands of years and had no grudges against dragons… Unless the dead god had some secret treasure, dragons would quickly forget his existence.
This kind of creature, the most powerful in the material world, is always the most materialistic.
After a little probing, Almuth stopped his adventure… It was good to have a little gain; any more, and he might get beaten up.
Even if this person wasn't as impulsive as rumored, there would definitely be no mistake about his vengeful nature.
After all, this wasn't just a rumor, but a result accumulated from reality.
After a brief conversation, both sides fell silent again, the atmosphere extremely awkward and heavy.
Pearl, hiding behind her brother, didn't dare to utter a word… She felt like she understood something, but also like she didn't understand anything.
—
Toronto didn't feel Almuth's probing.
Or rather, he was already used to that kind of scrutinizing gaze and had no interest in thinking about it.
He was just pondering the identity of the guy opposite him.
If Almuth hadn't tried so hard to make up for it, Toronto might have considered that the other party really had obtained knowledge from the fragment.
Especially since this knowledge might be related to the Amannata demigod.
But 'Toronto' himself knew best what was going on… So, he quickly grasped another key point.
What were the chances that Almuth's natural companion creature was a plant that could be cultivated from a certain collection of the Northern Royal Family?
It was indeed possible that there was a one in ten thousand chance, but if it really happened, it was more likely to be foolproof.
Knowing about the artifact fragment first, and then looking for a plant partner was probably the truth.
Laurie couldn't care less about Almuth's little tricks; his mind was frantically recalling the fallen native gods who had connections with nature.
This was actually very difficult.
Those so-called subordinate gods were actually more like the demigods of Toril… They were either not created or born by the gods themselves, or they were believers promoted by them.
This kind of thing was never a pantheon; after all, the so-called divine duties of subordinate gods were essentially just a position.
And not a representative of a certain law.
For example, the Ice Dog King, he could only command ice dogs based on his own divine power; he wouldn't even talk to other dog breeds, let alone make them obey his commands… Suppressing them with violence and having them naturally listen to him were two different things.
Even the Gale Wolf King had stronger control than the Ice Dog King!
At least the dozens of wolves living on that Wolf Mountain listened to him.
So, the essence of the Ice Dog King was still the puppy created by the Lord of Frost; ice dogs were just his derivative creatures.
When the Ice Dog King disappeared, the ice dogs would naturally disappear with him, instead of becoming wild creatures.
The gods had never split their divine duties.
But it was precisely because of this 'uniqueness' of the gods in this world that the world didn't become like Toril, where everything seemed like a chaotic battle of the gods, but in reality, they were all puppets.
The world's strict requirements for the gods also proved that it couldn't make a god disappear completely just because it didn't like them.
Those bottom lines were both for the gods and for it.
If those fallen gods could have thought of this, they wouldn't have really played themselves to death.
Laurie thought for a while but still couldn't figure out which unlucky guy it was… Then he thought of himself again.
He vaguely suspected that Almuth had also reincarnated directly with an artifact fragment.
And the reason he entered the Northern Royal Family was that so-called acorn.
It's just that the spirit of the Mechanical Realm went to his world, so the spirit of the natural artifact must have gone to a planet with more developed natural power… Almuth is so cunning, he shouldn't have come from a primitive planet.
No! I can't think about it anymore.
If he really figures it out, this guy is standing right across from him!
There will definitely be a reaction.
Striving to suppress his suspicion in his heart, 'Toronto' said softly: "I don't bother with your affairs, just be aware of it yourself.
Anyway, the royal family has already produced a Rosalind, and it doesn't care about producing a second one.
Wait for a few more people! Otherwise, you can go first.
I don't trust you."
Almuth breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out a hand to hold Pearl's slightly trembling hands: "After Rosalind's incident, His Majesty Travis specially invited people from the Night, Earth, and Storm Temples to assist the bloodline soul detection magic circle, and retested all the royal family members.
There was no second case.
After all, there is only one Rain Goddess."
'Toronto' looked at him helplessly: "What does it have to do with me?
Just understand it yourselves."

Almuth restored a line of words that he was about to erase from his mind to its original state… Laurie Montes's mouth is really poisonous and immoral.
He clearly saw that he was comforting Pearl, but he still spoke so dangerously.

Although his sister is a good child, her ears are really soft!
This is really crazy.
Even if he has a problem, isn't he the one who has been with her day and night for so many years!
If her own brother changed, wouldn't she be able to feel it?
Even if he always says Pearl is stupid, he can't really make her brain disappear, right! —
Of course, Pearl wasn't so stupid as to be at that level; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to hear that the Toronto opposite her was actually that neighbor she had never met.
Besides, this time's royal family test focused on female members, and even the princesses who had married out for many years were called back for a check, so she naturally followed the whole process.
If her brother really had a problem, then it must have been in her mother's womb.
Wouldn't that be reincarnation!
Although not very common, there have been such situations before.
Most of them are gods… If the Ice Dog King hadn't been malicious, he could have been born normally.
The test did find problems with some people, but not like Rosalind… Basically, they were passively manipulated in their husband's family.
Some were just trying to extend the lives of these princesses who could bring huge benefits to the family year after year, but they didn't have proper channels or money, so they used some crooked methods… which would cause people to gradually lose emotions and feelings after prolonged use.
Eventually turning into stone people.
The goal of inventing this petrifying potion wasn't actually for this life-extending effect; that was just a side effect.
The real purpose was pain relief… Fighting white dragons, even if victorious, came at an extremely heavy price.
But people with scars all over their bodies rarely get the chance to recover; they can drive away white dragons, but they can hardly kill them.
And humans can never catch up with the white dragon's recovery ability.
So, they can only gulp down a bottle of painkiller during a moment of respite… Priests who can help quickly heal wounds are in short supply, and it's good to give them a quick recovery that damages vitality.
Therefore, painkillers also contain a weak replenishment of vitality.
These were specific products researched by the Earth Church because of that war… Most importantly, the materials were relatively easy to find, and the price wasn't too expensive.
As for the sequelae of losing the five senses and the extinction of emotions, the Earth Church had actually raised it in the beginning, after all, there were poisonous herbs in the recipe.
But for the people at that time, if they really took so many bottles, then they were racing against death.
It was a blessing to be able to survive, so live as many good days as you can!
Known as the Repentance Potion, it once represented many beautiful, cruel, and romantic stories.
As a result, now, it was actually being used on the heads of the Northern princesses.
And these people are often the princesses' relatives… If it's not a princess who marries back to her mother's family, how can she so easily share her annuity?
Then, there are also some princesses who have chosen men they think they can control, families they can control, who also carry some inexplicable toxins… It can be said that once the other party feels they no longer need her, she will die immediately.
The reason why this test was so vigorous in the royal family but the nobles didn't know much about it was because of these messes.
Many princesses, therefore, felt that Rosalind's approach was right.
Even if her body might be occupied by a god, at least she had a free and easy life.
The current Rosalind can do whatever she wants… Many things show that they must be her own ideas.
Even if the Rain Goddess controls that body, she has to satisfy Rosalind's desires.
His Majesty the King is therefore extremely troubled… No matter what, they are his own daughters, and he must give them enough guarantees before he leaves.
Pearl thinks he deserves it, so she doesn't sympathize with him at all.
But the princesses… don't seem to have anything to sympathize with either.
