Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 1009 A Body Even the Tower Lord Wouldn't Utilize
“I recognize all the words in the letter that Agnes sent through official channels, but I don’t understand the message,” Agris said seriously.

Lowry's lips twitched, his knees dipped slightly, and he jumped out of the crater: "Let me see."

“Hmm…” He pondered for a while and finally came to a conclusion, “Pat must have sent some news about Emilia City to Agnes, something related to the witches.”

But this left her somewhat confused.

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Yages asked, puzzled. "Isn't this what she meant on the surface? Although I didn't see any sentence that said she was confused, I can only tell that Pat has contacted her."

“Those emphasized words are what indicate her confusion,” Lowry replied calmly.

If his mother had thought about it carefully, she could have seen it, but generally, when someone is willing to use their brain, Mrs. Yages would choose to ignore those tiring things.

So, Lowry wasn't surprised that his mother continued to press, "What did Pat do to provoke her suspicions?"

"Why does the Lord of the Tower despise the child in Pat's belly so much, preferring to discard Pat's body that she has used for so many years?" Lori simply and clearly explained what Anise had hidden in the letter.

“Do you know?” Yagris asked immediately, “Is it classified?”

“Knowing part of it isn’t a secret; it’s not just the gods who know about it,” Lori replied quickly.

"Is this news important to Agnes?" Iagris thought for a moment before asking.

"Hmm... it seems Agnes has chosen to side with the Tower?" Lori asked Agris with equal seriousness.

He was not very familiar with the form in which the Tower Witch existed.

Especially the first few, they were very likely created by the Lord of the Tower. The test that resulted in only one in a hundred surviving was so painful that humans could not bear it.

Therefore, in the end, the witch is left with only obsession and emotions, while feelings and perceptions are almost completely gone.

Logically, the witch should hate the tower's lord.

But the reason these witches chose to participate in these trials is because they had all experienced the most tragic things in the world... The Lord of the Tower may have been a detached observer until the very end when he came to reap the rewards of the experiment, but he was not the culprit.

Their deepest resentment and strongest obsession could not possibly have originated from the Lord of the Tower.

But they probably don't like the Tower Master very much either, which is why they subtly lean towards the Tower Spirit when choosing between the Tower Master and the Tower Spirit.

Logically speaking, the Lord of the Tower is their creator, and witches should normally be bound by their creator, just like the great demons created by old witches.

Even if the Lord of the Tower obtained it from outside... Lori doesn't need to ask him where he got it from.

He must be the one who colluded with Asmodeus.

Although the rain goddess seems to be the collaborator with the outside forces, the one who is jumping the gun the most is probably not the biggest schemer.

Even if outsiders do manage to establish themselves in this world, what will the rainwater gain?
A promise from outsiders?
But none of the people she collaborated with kept their promises!
Including Amanata, they are typical examples of people who are very good at exploiting loopholes.

Amannatha may be despicable, but he's capable of going toe-to-toe with the devil in a pact!
Even the Demon Grand Duke suffered greatly when playing the contract game with him.

Given that Rainwater is always scheming against others while being schemed against by others, Lori really doesn't think she has the ability to last until the end.

The only one who can maintain a normal level of communication with these individuals to this day is the Lord of the Tower.

At most, it might contain some of the God of Knowledge's schemes.

But that guy was actually kind of like a neutral party standing on the side of the winner.

He doesn't help anyone, and he responds to everyone who comes to him... but it's absolutely impossible for him to express his opinion.

However, when victory arrives, he will definitely stand behind the victorious side and cheer together.

Therefore, Lori didn't need to think much about the origins of the witch-making method devised by the Tower Lord, which was almost identical to the old witch's method of brewing the Great Demon.

Lori even had a vague idea of ​​how his friend had become a lich-type tower spirit.

Hmm... The Lord of the Tower and his advisors must have known about this danger beforehand.

Asmodeus is always meticulous and would never keep something as important as his 'ally' from him.

Especially since he later wanted to scheme against his ally.

However, he must have provided extremely detailed but completely nonsensical data on the odds, which led the two people who were confident in their luck to take the bait.

After further pondering the witch's behavior, Lori came to a fairly accurate guess: the old witch controlled the great demon through a contract, while the Tower Lord controlled the witch through the magic tower.

He's been clinging to the divine title of Lord of the Magic Tower, probably because many of his past contracts were signed with this title as collateral.

The Lord of the Tower was certainly prepared to abandon this law and those contracts should things fall apart.

But until the very last moment, he certainly wouldn't be willing to give up those benefits.

Tsk~ That's wishful thinking, but it's too greedy, and they've taken everything into account.

Asmodeus seems to value this world quite a bit! He's prepared so many backup plans.

But it's also possible that this big shot was used to keeping a few tricks up his sleeve to avoid trouble when needed... So, the tower spirit that the advisor turned into just happened to become a stumbling block for the tower master.

It was the Tower Lord himself who put it in. The Tower Spirit intervened, interrupting his control... Ha~ Even if Anise, this new witch, acts with all her might, the Tower Lord probably wouldn't believe her.

Although the new magic tower was used as the medium for the witch Agnes, did the super magic tower that he had built into the image of the supreme tower in order to indirectly control the divine office of the master of the magic tower really have no effect on Agnes?
No wonder the Lord of the Tower has been constantly building his body on the ground.

Pat's exposure may not have been something he wanted.

Ha~ Lowry couldn't help but laugh out loud just thinking about it.

The Lord of the Tower is truly capable of outsmarting the Lord of Demons!

However, this also proves one thing: the purpose of the Tower Lord in creating witches was to relieve him of the troubles of his divine position as the Tower Lord.

With the tower spirit and the witch as a middleman, his... that advisor's wariness of him was absolutely correct.

If it were Lowry... no, if it were Lowry, she would never risk her life to save a culprit.

Of course, now he's starting to have doubts about this 'voluntary' act... but judging from the Tower Lord's behavior, he does seem to be the one who is taking all precautions while also being genuinely sincere towards him.

Tsk~ This is a really weird friendship.

However, more than these things, Yagris should be concerned about Pat's problem.

The gods know more about some things, and he had heard about Yuri's weakness before he returned.

“Well, the Golden Cup of Amannata suffered some terrible things in other worlds,” Lori summarized before slowly speaking, “I don’t know the specifics, but I know it was more like disgusting.”

Amanata therefore abandoned him.

After arriving in this world, because some of his abilities were completely sealed by those encounters, those external forces didn't really like to involve him.

There was a loophole at the Church of Wealth, so he was taken advantage of the chaos and sent into the Northern Labyrinth, where he fell into Yuri's hands.

He possessed an extraordinary vitality that allowed him to break the sterilization curse Yuri had placed on himself.

Pat's accident stemmed from this.

The Lord of the Tower likely considered this point, which is why he abandoned Pat.

Because children born from the Holy Grail of Amannata are not well-suited to be parasitized by it.

For the Lord of the Tower, Pat's child was related to his allies no matter what, and since it was just an accident, the Lord of the Tower chose to let go and ignore it.

It's fortunate that the accident happened to Pat.

Who knows if Amannata is inside... Even if not, what if it's the reincarnation of that cup?

He's also afraid of getting dirty!
Although the Lord of the Tower did many foolish things, he himself was not truly foolish.

Just like Bane and Cyric of Toril, who would think they're stupid?

But gods also have their special aspects, such as the influence of laws.

Whether in chaos or order, standing on the side of evil in the law means that they are destined to be overly extreme and self-centered, and they are easily blinded by greed and desire when making decisions.

Even if you have a well-thought-out plan, you can still make the wrong choice at the crucial moment.

But is it really wrong?
It might be wrong to outsiders, but to him, he only saw the side that brought the greatest benefit.

Then, they ignored the limits of their own abilities.

He was arrogant and looked down on the mortal world, but he forgot that those who worked for him were just a group of ordinary people.

He himself does not have the ability to be in multiple places at once and make everything happen exactly as he envisions.

Such a thing does not exist in the multiverse.

A self-proclaimed wise evil god like the Lord of the Tower would naturally not care about cooperating with external forces.

Everyone was calculating, and in his view, a cooperation where the winner was determined by each person's own abilities was a win-win situation for him alone.

Amanata is a typical egoist.

Unless he was so utterly humiliated that he was beyond redemption, there was no way he would give up the Holy Grail of Amannata.

That was a powerful artifact made with a great deal of his divine power, and even his divine soul power... It was a top-tier artifact even in Toril.

If it's just a matter of being humiliated or making a foolish decision, then Amanatha is perfectly capable of swallowing her pride and accepting the insult.

The only thing that could make him completely give up on the cup is that the thought of it makes him feel nauseous.

Anyone who knows this story will feel disgusted.

It was so disgusting that even the Lord of the Tower, who had only heard of it, didn't want to use the body that might be used by the cup.
