Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 1059 Penelope's Quick Start Guide

After pondering for a moment, Ariges simply shrugged and replied innocently, "Il, you see, this world is full of unknowns."

And we, Gezhar, are the unknown within the unknown.

Mikhail was stunned by his mother's tone for almost a minute before he realized, "What Mom means is, just leave it alone?"

"It's already like this... Is this even acceptable?"

"Do you know who the last person with the blood of Gezar was who was clueless and didn't understand anything?" Ariges asked in a low voice.

“Lori Montes?” Mikhail said hesitantly, “But, isn’t it said that his problem lies in the Montes bloodline, and the Gezar bloodline only plays a supporting role?”

“What do outsiders know?” Alex sneered. “Dragon blood is indeed his most obvious bloodline, but he awakened to power in a human body. It’s normal for those weaker bloodlines to be devoured by dragon blood, but… that doesn’t mean he only has that thing left.”

Mikhail glanced at her: "So, you don't know exactly what it is, right? You only know that this bloodline is related to Gezar."

Alexandra nodded readily and reached for the bronze bell they were both very familiar with: "Take a look at this bell, do you feel anything?"

Mikhail, who had used a bell before, took the bell in confusion... and then instantly felt a blood connection he had never experienced before.

"This is...something from the Gezar family?" He was startled.

Then he picked up the old-fashioned bell and examined it carefully.

Mikhail suddenly closed his eyes... A scroll, only partially unfolded, suddenly appeared in his mind.

He could understand the meaning of the thousands of characters he could see, even though he had never studied them.

This is an introduction to the functions and usage of the bell.

Their previous shaking technique only borrowed a little bit of the basic function of a bell; it didn't even scratch the surface.

Although it's a bit complicated, Mikhail understood it after reading it.

The bell rang again, and the bronze outer skin that was originally on his body completely fell off... A colorless and transparent crystal bell jumped in front of Mikhail.

A clear, ethereal, and soul-stirring bell rang out in the room.

Mikhail felt as if everything he had learned before was flashing through his mind in an instant. All the knowledge was constantly being categorized and reorganized. All the research he had vaguely thought about and considered was now guided by the heavens, directly pointing out the core, filling in the gaps, and bringing the answers completely into his soul.

When Mikhail opened his eyes again, the crystal bell was no longer there.

But he was not alarmed... In his still-developing spiritual sea, a tiny crystal bell stood in the middle of the sea.

From then on, he no longer had to worry about psychological attacks.

This is inherently the weakest link for knights, and they can only be protected after they reach level 12 and begin to develop attribute skill attacks.

Therefore, most of the protective artifacts carried by knights are of the type that guard against mental intrusion... curses are also included in this category.

Alexandra naturally possessed this as well, and even more of it, and in greater quantities.

The Tower Lord did not envision her as a combatant, but rather as someone who would guide him to observe the myriad aspects of human nature and assess the depths of human emotions.

This requires sufficient concealment... at least enough to be observed silently even by a strong person.

Therefore, there are quite a few good things about Ariges.

But the Tower Lord is still the same old thing; she gives the wind but not the rain, and Ariges's offensive abilities are still the same old thing.

However, this is actually a good thing.

Mikhail... wait!
His mother! His sister!
Because he received too much information, his emotions couldn't keep up, and Mikhail, whose mind was only focused on rational analysis, finally realized that the ringtone might be useful not only to him.

He looked up and saw Alexandra holding Penelope... His mother must have rushed to his sister the moment the bell rang.

Mikhail wouldn't be so shameless as to ask questions like why he wasn't the one saved.

After all, he was the real culprit.

Moreover, the mother should know the origin of the bronze bell very well and trust it enough, which is why she was only worried that Penelope would encounter an accident... Sometimes, too much benefit can also cause harm.

He had just forgotten.

However, this was because his family members had all used the bronze bell and were connected to its energy, which made him overlook the potential dangers... Although he guessed that this thing might become stronger after it detached from its shell, he really didn't expect it to be this much stronger.

This is like the difference between a mortal and a divine artifact, compared to the old bell.

Mikhail pursed his lips, filled with self-reproach.

He was far too confident.

Fortunately, it didn't turn into a major disaster.

After observing for a while, Mikhail finally felt relieved.

His mother and sister were clearly receiving benefits, rather than being negatively affected.

Penelope woke up quickly.

Just moments ago she was yelling and complaining about how difficult the spells and runes were to learn, but now she was hugging and kissing the rune book with a look of great joy on her face.

Mikhail couldn't help but frown and reminded him, "You found that book at the very bottom of the bookshelf."

Although Connie is very diligent, she can't clean every nook and cranny every day, and the bottom of the bookshelves inevitably gets dusty. After all, this is a rented house, and even if Alexandra doesn't care about wasting energy crystals, she can't add cleaning spells to someone else's fixed magic circle.

Even among nobles, this kind of life-enhancing array is considered an excessively luxurious practice.

Most nobles preferred to use human labor.

Of course, this is nothing to the archmages; the remaining residue from those energy-absorbing arrays is enough to power such a life-sustaining array.

But for nobles, it's really not worth it, since they also have to pay for someone to draw the magic circle... Every extra line the mages draw costs a lot of money.

The Emilia royal family is already quite wealthy, even their rented apartments have some basic magic arrays for power, but they're not that meticulous.

Moreover, because the house itself has a magic circle, unclean things will automatically stay away.

If there are no insects, ants, snakes, or rodents, and not much dust, the house does not need to be cleaned every day.

Before Connie helped, Alexis only needed to spend half an hour every three or four days to finish cleaning.

But none of that means the talisman book is definitely not clean... at least it shouldn't have been touched with your mouth.

Penelope completely ignored her brother's complicated expression... Mikhail had OCD, but she didn't.

She'll pick up and eat any food that falls on the ground within three seconds!

What's a little bit of overnight dust!
She just excitedly shouted, "I know them all!"
He also mastered three spells.

What?
Just as she regained her senses, Alex loosened her grip, her fingers accidentally using a little force... Penelope rolled out.

But the little girl didn't care at all about being thrown out by her own mother; she just rolled around happily on the ground, laughing out loud.

“Il.” Alexandra looked hesitantly at her son. “This doesn’t seem right, does it? That bell, even if it could teach her basic magical knowledge, shouldn’t be…”

Although Lowry has a photographic memory, she's not at the point where she can learn a spell just by hearing a bell ring!

During the first two years after arriving in Baron Ghezal, even with a teacher like Arsalan, Lowry still had a difficult time!
At that time, Agris even considered selling her possessions to buy magical resources for Lori!
Fortunately, the matter was eventually resolved when Lowry robbed the smuggler himself.

But she still vividly remembers the hardships she faced in the early days of becoming a mage... and that was back when Lori had so many resources and incredibly good talent!

What does Ariges have?
Even if you can buy basic resources with money, you can't buy knowledge!

She was just thinking about whether she should head over to Qingfeng to take the lead.

So Penelope learned it herself?

Alexis looked at her intelligent son with a puzzled expression, trying to get some information from him.

Mikhail fell into deep thought.

He had a slight suspicion that Penelope had awakened a new career.

But how is this possible?

Hasn't the world's will awakened yet?
However, a new profession should normally cause a global upheaval before it triggers corresponding rules.

Just like the family crests of noble families, they wouldn't be recorded by the awakening array unless they had been passed down for tens of thousands of years.

Without the intervention of the world's will, the emergence and recognition of new professions would take an extremely long time.

"Never mind." Alexis pursed her lips as she watched her son deep in thought. "There's no need to figure it out."

Anyway, Penelope can at least stay in the intermediate class for now.

"Once you two have learned enough, we'll go to Qingfeng Territory."

"Is it okay?" Mikhail looked up at her.

“I’m a well-known good mother.” Alex looked up at the sky. “Given that it’s impossible for either the Church of the Night or the Church of the Earth to have an archmage take Penelope as a disciple, it’s perfectly normal to seek help from her past master.”

In particular, the Qingfeng Territory has never treated us as outsiders.

Mikhail, of course, never doubted this.

The more he learned at the Laurel Church, the more he understood how valuable the magical artifacts in their home were.

The fact that outsiders who knew about this didn't show any shock suggests that a woman with a similar identity to the one impersonated by Alexandra could probably easily produce something like this.

The Lord of Qingfeng Territory is quite famous for his wealth, arrogance, and protectiveness of his own.

Mikhail never doubted this.

But he knew one thing even more clearly.

Penelope's antics during that period were not wrong.

Otherwise, Mikhail, who knows her very well, would have stopped her the moment she started acting up.

Euphemia's advice was only correct because it was based entirely on the premise that Alexandra was indeed Alexandra.

But she's not.
