Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 1003 A Letter from Afar
Do you know who Bran Garrett is?

Many of the buildings in the secret tower were probably made of high-grade stones researched by his old high priest.

Although it may just be an accident, after all, the chaotic area is a place that church members always choose.

It was likely a coincidence that Bran Garrett, a Mineral Bishop, went to the Emilia Highlands to serve as the High Priest.

However, we all know that coincidence can sometimes be a carefully orchestrated plan.

The witch faction has always been hostile towards you, so it's best to be on guard against some things.

Don't worry about things on my end.

Although our Lord temporarily abandoned this child, it was only a temporary loss.

As long as I am devout enough, the Lord will surely return to my side.

Taking two years to raise a child is a good idea.

I think you can understand that, right?
good luck.

Your Pat.

High atop the round tower, Anise, dressed only in a black sheer robe, reclined gracefully on the sofa, chuckling as she looked at the letter that had traveled from afar.

“Even Pat knows how dangerous my situation is!” she said lazily. “On the contrary, my daughter is incredibly stupid.”

Tsk~ How could I have thought back then that the children who had witnessed my suffering and whom I had genuinely protected wouldn't be easily swayed?

“Ms. Agnes…” Kyle said expressionlessly as he delivered the letter, “I will not feel guilty for refusing her.”

A woman who doesn't even respect her own mother, I don't think she would be a good mother.

Therefore, there's no need to say such things.

Although the young lady did fly into a rage because of his refusal, and even incited some 'fools' to harm him, and had a big fight with her mother because Anise was unwilling to help her suppress Kyle, what did that have to do with Kyle?
Children who grow up in places like Montes Castle understand best what internal and external responsibilities mean.

Refusing someone's unreasonable demands is absolutely their legal right.

What's more, he paid such a huge price in order to have the power to refuse these unpleasant things!
On the contrary, it was Agnes who received the letter who owed him a debt of gratitude... even though his main reason for doing so was for Pat.

But no one can deny that this matter also benefits Agnes.

Otherwise, this lady wouldn't be making such a fuss here, trying to test whether Kyle had peeked at the letter... even if the letter was sealed using methods unique to the Gezar family.

However, it seemed that there was another intention behind her probing words... Kyle suddenly realized and smiled, saying, "Pat never hides anything from my lord."

This letter was delivered through our Lord's secret channels.

This passage is for use only by the Holy Body.

Anise's eyes flickered slightly, knowing that she no longer needed to hint at this matter to the Tower Lord in any other way.

Back when the Holy Tower, touted as the tallest and strongest in the world, was being built, the Tower's master wasn't the universally reviled figure he is today.

He can even speak with several existing gods!
Therefore, the Earth Church is also willing to accept some special orders.

For example, special synthetic stones refined based on the divine power of the Tower Lord.

At that time, Pope Garrett, the chief priest of the Church of the Earth, personally undertook this task.

This is a good thing for Garrett, who is preparing to advance to demigod.

Although he could sense the divine power of the Earth Lord at all times, he needed to have his own understanding of the laws and divine power, and find a real point of reference, so that he wouldn't eventually be assimilated into the power of the earth.

If Garrett, a newly born god who is on the path to godhood and strives to align his words and actions with the laws, can figure something out, he will definitely have a bright future.

He does seem to have succeeded.

The Garrett family has been able to maintain a relatively good position even now, when the Minerals are at a disadvantage, because they have an eternal and unchanging ancestor in heaven.

Huh~
The Lord of the Earth is truly a very kind deity.

In the very beginning of humanity's pursuit of eternal life in God's kingdom, he pointed out the greatest crisis involved.

If one's willpower is not strong enough, it is easy to lose sight of the difference between oneself and the power of the earth god after entering the divine kingdom... When there is no longer any self in one's mind and one's power gradually assimilates with the power of the earth, then even if this person still exists, he can no longer be considered himself.

Although the gods will accept believers who cannot advance to demigod status through their own power, they must understand that the ultimate fate of the lower-level believers will only be to become a glimmer of light in the divine kingdom.

In the end, it will still completely dissipate.

Those who still have hope for high-level professionals will surely strive to the very end.

Only those who truly cannot break through their limits will choose to go to the divine realm... There, even the souls of ordinary people can exist for at least eight hundred years!

The strong can even exist for as long as three thousand years.

Moreover, the gods themselves did not intend to deprive believers of their sanity; if one's willpower is strong enough, one might truly attain immortality... It's far happier than experiencing an unchanging life in the astral realm.

The astral realm can indeed allow people to exist forever, but time will freeze at the point of existence, depending on how one is when they ascend there.

Apart from mages, who can use laws to strengthen their souls.

The mage's soul becomes stronger and more magical energy circulates around him, but this enhancement cannot affect his body.

To make any changes, one must return to the prime material plane for a period of time, allowing the magical energy to have a chance to merge into the body.

Most mages who spend years in the astral plane are at their physical limits, beyond which no amount of effort will help. Aside from naturally born astral beings, only dragons can grow unchecked.

Therefore, for humanity, living in the realm of gods is truly a wonderful future... Even if everything eventually disappears, we can still live carefree for thousands of years!

Anise certainly wanted to as well, but with her already distorted power, it was virtually impossible for her to perceive and comprehend the power of laws and become a demigod.

The deity she followed was not as easy to talk to as the Lord of the Earth.

The reason why the Earth Believers dare to act so recklessly is because the Lord of the Earth will clean up their mess!
As long as they do not violate the laws of the earth and their devotion to the Lord of the Earth remains unchanged, they will eventually be able to enter the Kingdom of the Earth God... Even if the reason for their death is extremely absurd, the Lord of the Earth can pretend not to see it.

The Lord of the Tower is much more to be criticized, and also... much more insidious.

Piety alone is not enough.

Anise must show her most cunning and evil side, provided she has enough loyalty... After all, the Lord of the Tower already possessed the most sincere believer.

Although that tower spirit has now become an enemy, he has indeed made it easy for the tower lord to discern the true and false of his followers.

That's why he only likes Pat.

Even so, when he abandoned Pat, he didn't hesitate at all!

Only those subordinates who can be used by him and whom he finds useful will eventually follow him into the Kingdom of God.

Of course, that means that after entering the Kingdom of God, one cannot enjoy a leisurely life like the believers of other gods.

But it doesn't matter.

All she needs is to live.

Only by living can we see the end of everything, the doomsday of some.

Only by staying alive can she reclaim everything she has lost in the past.

She knew that Pat still respected her, but he would no longer consider her a friend.

Different road non-phase plan.

It's easy to say, but few in the evil camp can actually do it.

True cooperation is based on shared interests.

But Pat can't do it.

Even if she leaves for distant lands, she will not agree to cooperate with people she despises.

This letter was merely a reminder to Agnes based on their past friendship.

Pat wasn't concerned with Anis herself, but rather with the Ghazar women standing behind her.

She actually knew why she was being excluded... even though she had the Lord of the Tower as her support, and even though she would protect her fellow women without any demands.

Following behind Anise is definitely not as easy as following behind Pat.

Is it possible for Agnes to support someone who doesn't work?

Even so, not a single Gzal woman in the secret tower chose Pat.

Because Pat is 'innocent and clean'.

Although she suffered hardship and lost her family, she had one stroke of good luck.

She was rescued before she was defiled, and even though she joined the Tower faction for revenge, she had a fairly normal first half of her life.

She even has normal friends who have always cared about her!
Even his subordinates are among the most loyal and reliable in the evil camp, and they never act on their own initiative.

It's not Pat's fault, and no one will curse her for it, but we really don't want to see her.

Anis was different. Although she had the purest Ghazar bloodline, she had also crawled out of the deepest mud pit.

Then, the mud was washed away with the most vile blood.

Seeing that blood, the women of Gezar, whose fire of revenge has never been extinguished, find solace in their own hearts.

They knew the culprits were gone, but they also knew that what caused them pain was not just those people.

Perhaps, for ordinary people, the stable and orderly world we have now is the best.

But for the victims harmed by the darkness hidden within the order... it's not like that at all.

Following the Lord of the Tower, even if we cannot completely overthrow that useless order, we can at least make those who hold power and those who benefit from that order suffer.

This is enough.

Who cares what the world will become?

The more chaotic the better; a world where only the strong can survive is the best.

Anyway, they are not afraid of death and do not care how they live.

Anise doesn't believe the Lord of the Tower will ultimately fail completely, even though his current situation is so precarious that even the gods don't care what he does anymore.
