Dear Broom Knight

Of course, the White Dragon King's suggestion to bypass the County of Montes from behind, and then take the symmetrically opposite part of the territory, was indeed excellent.

But Lowry wasn't about to wrong himself to satisfy someone else's needs.

He could put in a little effort, but he would never sacrifice even a tiny bit of his own interests.

Especially not in this stage where he hadn't completely figured things out yet.

Therefore, Lowry had long been pondering that continuous chain of hills in the back.

For a child like Lowry, who grew up in a small southern town, those so-called hills, only a few dozen meters high, should naturally be turned into fields.

What's more, there were plenty of mountain streams and small rivers between those hills, so there was no shortage of water at all.

Even with the crude farming methods of this world, without bothering with the very top of the hills, the connecting areas below could still be cultivated into enough fields to satisfy the Barony of Gezall's development for thousands of years.

And this was calculated after excluding the best piece of land behind his castle.

Lowry was very clear that even if he didn't occupy that area himself, no commoner would touch it.

Instead, it would only benefit those audacious noble scions.

Hills with mountains and water would make it easier to create that atmosphere where the scenery changed with every step.

Lowry placed his finger on the best location he had envisioned countless times... Originally, with his rank, it would have been difficult to reach that point in one step.

However, now His Majesty the King himself felt indebted to him, so he took the initiative to give way.

With him taking the lead, the Noble Affairs Office wouldn't haggle too much over something that would be fine in ten years or so.

After all, for those old guys, the most important thing now was to seize the shares that the Newman and Natalie families were bound to give up.

The reason His Majesty the King revealed things so early was actually to let this group of old guys make the first move.

Some rules that he himself had to abide by were very easy for these old guys to bypass.

For example, although he was entangled with those two families, he couldn't directly kill them when he couldn't find evidence because they had little relationship on the surface and no dealings.

The nobles had always been very wary of him.

Who told the White Dragon King to be so powerful!

If he couldn't hold on to his bottom line, it would be a catastrophe for all the nobles.

Therefore, even if their relationship was extremely poor, the nobles would unite against him on the opposite side, as long as they didn't touch His Majesty the King's bottom line.

But if they killed each other, that wouldn't matter.

The White Dragon King believed that by the day he returned to the royal capital, besides the family members of those two families themselves, there would be no one else he needed to bother dealing with.

After all, the peripheral forces of those two were quite profitable.

Although now he could know that it was because of the help of the Cult... after all, the Cult was always the strongest underground dark force.

Who could be more black-hearted than them!

However, creatures in the dark could not see the light.

Once everything was exposed, they would naturally only end up being completely cleaned up.

However, the White Dragon King actually understood that those who were truly capable must have already slipped away.

But even he couldn't solve this problem.

He could only vent all his anger on the two foolish families who had been besieged in their territories by his Royal Army.

Tsk~ Lowry actually admired him quite a bit.

If it were him, he wouldn't have put up with so much, and would have taken the White Dragon and flown away long ago.

The White Dragon King raised an eyebrow and nodded, accepting Lowry's choice.

He really didn't expect that Lowry hadn't swept up the entire hilly area!

He had been prepared to start a war with the Noble Affairs Office over this!

After all, they both knew in their hearts that His Majesty the King's advance notice this time would definitely allow the old guys in the Noble Affairs Office to make a big profit.

Those were just some hills that no one cared about. If His Majesty the King insisted and was willing to have an open protest... the nobles always had to show their bravery on some occasions... then it wouldn't be a problem.

However, Lowry still chose to only exceed that much.

Giving him his territory ten years in advance, and not having to worry about the national mines discovered recently being coveted by him.

Such a good thing, even if His Majesty the King didn't make the decision for him now, and spent some money to give to the people in the Noble Affairs Office, this part of the territory could easily be given to him.

The White Dragon King glanced at Mrs. Agres, who had no opinion at all, and couldn't help but shake his head: "Agres, you taught Lowry to be too rule-abiding. Although I like it very much, when dealing with other nobles, this will..."

He turned his head and glanced at the magic cabin, the meaning in his words was very obvious.

"But Lowry has everything he should have!" Mrs. Agres replied with a calm face, "Look, Your Majesty, the one standing here now, holding her son happily, is still me, isn't it?

As long as it's what one deserves, there's nothing wrong with it.

Greedy people can't even make their last words clear!"

At this moment, Mrs. Agres was thinking about the plant seeds that Lowry had brought back from who knows where. She remembered that there were many special and extremely precious spices.

As long as everything was within the rules, then even if Lowry's hills eventually made people envious, they could only grit their teeth and roll their eyes in sourness.

But if he was too greedy, and even used the strength he might have in a few decades, or even didn't know when he would have, as an excuse to divide the land, then he would inevitably only receive a ruthless blow.

No one would do something that cost too much just for money.

But if it only took a little cost to get a rich return, people who didn't do it would be considered fools.

Even if everyone knew that Lowry had a promising future, but, to put it bluntly, the ones who would truly face Lowry's powerful future would only be their descendants.

Besides Lowry, oh, and Fabrice in the future, how many nobles could be ennobled at a young age?

Now was not the state of war of decades ago.

To put it bluntly, the existence of the White Dragon King made most nobles not consider the future much, and their mentality was to enjoy one day as one could.

Just like the Noble Affairs Office, there were people who would do things as long as they were given benefits.

However, before the White Dragon King took power, it wasn't just money that would make them do things.

As for their damn king... the great knight's admiration and love for him were definitely real, as real as his dog... Mrs. Agres knew it very well.

Don't look at how good the words were, but when the time came, if Lowry really couldn't withstand the nobles' chain traps, then His Majesty the King wouldn't be the same as he was now.

Unless Lowry was willing to share the benefits he got with him.

Don't mention that the White Dragon King now had a good opinion of Lowry, and his attitude towards him was unbelievably good, and even Ruthcania had a deep friendship with Lowry.

When the time came, both the White Dragon and the King would inevitably only choose benefits.

The reason they hadn't turned against each other was just that the benefits weren't enough. Mrs. Agres knew this very well.

Count Montes was still Lowry's own father!

Didn't he give him up so readily when it was time to give him up!

To put it bluntly, the King, who was now pointing fingers at Count Montes, was only doing so because it had nothing to do with him.

Was his attitude towards his own children any better than Count Montes'?

Tch! Dog man.

Mrs. Agres wouldn't hold her son back at this time!

Lowry was doing the right thing.

Besides, the words 'good opinion' were actually no different from 'wait and see'.

Lowry wasn't as complicated as his mother thought.

Even though he had the qualifications to be a little arrogant, he was still the otaku painter of the past at heart.

The reason he dared to be so outrageous before was because he suspected he was dreaming... and it was the kind of daydream he had after becoming a vegetable.

But after understanding that he had indeed lived another life, and the golden finger in his hand could allow him to live carefree for the rest of his life, the prudence in Lowry's nature emerged again.

It was okay to take a little advantage, but not too much.

It was okay to spend in advance, but all of this had to be within the permissible range of his wallet... it was absolutely impossible to pay any interest.

Although he didn't study well, the days of calculating everything in life made it impossible for Lowry to be too outrageous.

Being able to do this now was already because the wanton life of the past ten years or so had changed him a little.

Moreover, there was the most important point... Lowry was always brooding over the great cause of cracking down on smugglers.

The outermost part of the area he chose was a swampy wetland.

It was only because there was a wide area in the middle that allowed people to pass that this place wasn't so dangerous.

But Lowry had already thought about it. When he got this piece of land in his hands, he would start digging.

First, block those underground outlets, and then dig them a dozen meters deep... As a mage, Lowry could easily do this.

Then plant a kind of long-bearded grass.

This thing and Ambergris wood had the same effect to some extent.

The tangled roots were difficult to clear away, and the long beards floating in the water were also very easy to roll together.

But it was also a magical creature. Anyone who wanted to cut them would suddenly fire a water cannon... In fact, it wasn't very useful, it just made a loud noise.

People crossing the river would easily make a huge noise if they weren't careful.

It didn't matter during the day, and even the knights who were summoned would take the initiative to help these unlucky guys who were knocked over by the water cannon.

But, at night... that was just courting death.

Lowry never thought about not letting people come over, but they had to be able to enter his territory only under his permission.
