Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 1062 A Cautious and Tight-Willed Mother

Alexandra actually knew how to soothe Mikhail's inner anxiety.

If there is anyone in the world whose needs can be met solely through collecting, it must be Lori Montes.

The ambush at Scroll Mountain back then couldn't be covered up by a mere apology from the Pope.

This has nothing to do with the Lord of Storms' counterattack.

Or, if Lori were just an ordinary mage, he would at most receive some superficial apology gifts and that would be the end of it.

However, Lowry has always had a somewhat inexplicable crazy temper.

He could deliver sarcastic remarks to the Lord of Storms, poke at the Night Goddess's sore spot to her face, and speak sarcastically to the Lord of Earth... What's terrifying is that none of the gods felt that he was being offensive.

Perhaps it's because Lowry's language skills are so rich that she needs to think before she can react when she's being scolded?

After all, given enough room for thought, the gods, who still have some principles, understand things... They don't actually care too much about the offenses of mortals.

Of course, it's perfectly normal to immediately retaliate and kill someone the moment you realize you're being scolded.

Furthermore, Lowry at that time wasn't someone who could be easily killed.

The gods would not allow such trivial matters to affect the restoration of the world's will... but Lori could indeed disrupt all of this.

Therefore, the compensation gift that Scroll Mountain finally sent to Green Maple Territory included all the books they had collected.

The absolute top-tier ones are definitely not available, but as long as they're not exclusive secret manuals, I reckon Lori will have copies of them.

Not only had Agris hinted at this to her, but the Lord of the Tower had also mentioned it explicitly... For Lori, these all-encompassing books were actually more valuable.

Yagris put it more subtly.

The Lord of the Tower...

He was once one of the most outstanding people in the world!
If he hadn't become excessively greedy later on, those archmages would have had absolutely no objection to him calling his magic tower the number one tower in the world.

Including that knowledgeable and capable advisor... If the Lord of the Tower had nothing to win his heart, how could he truly be willing to give his life and loyalty?
In the eyes of the Tower Lord... the future is something he creates himself.

By reading and understanding different books, and studying the origins of those disciplines and the historical context, he was able to create his own unique spells.

Even during the period when he possessed supreme power, the Lord of the Tower never bothered to learn the powerful secret techniques that fell into his hands.

He genuinely believed that following in someone else's footsteps meant falling behind and failing.

Therefore, the Lord of the Tower greatly admired Lori, who was always inventing and creating, while he looked down on Lori's teacher, Arsalan.

They thought he was just lucky, born into the royal family of the North and having a friendly relationship with Travis, which is why he took Lowry as his student.

The Lord of the Tower also stated with certainty that in the future, Arslan's presence would likely only be attributed to being "the teacher of Archmage Lori Montes".

Alexis knew she wasn't a smart person.

She is stubborn, willful, and extreme... just like the razor turtle that the Tower Lord would bite and never let go.

When in danger, they become so reckless as to be unafraid of death.

But once it's safe, it will hide inside its tall shell and remain motionless.

Lazy and unambitious.

However, Alexandra never acts on her own initiative; she steadily follows the path that wise people have taken.

She remembered clearly the Tower Lord's occasional exclamation to Lori... Learning requires passionate exploration.

To put it bluntly, the opportunity to read that you seize before you've developed a certain habit is even more appealing.

It was only when Lowry stole a handful of scrolls from Scroll Mountain at his most crucial moment that he suddenly realized he needed to read more books... Otherwise, wouldn't his spoils have been wasted?
Otherwise, he would probably have done the same as other mages, focusing solely on his own career path.

When you finally realize how much knowledge you need to make progress, you won't be as at ease as you were when you look back at those books.

Therefore, Alexandra felt that she should not disturb Mikhail's efforts.

Lori’s grand library, which occupies two floors of the enormous castle… could very well be considered a reward for Mikhail’s successful completion of his studies.

However, doing so will inevitably have negative consequences.

Alexis had to figure out how to ensure that her two children's bodies wouldn't be harmed by this effort.

In particular, Mikhail also had to undergo a great deal of knightly training.

If a child's body is pushed to its limits, and they also have to use their brain... they could easily break down, both physically and mentally.

Since she didn't want to discourage the children's fighting spirit, Alexis had to put in more effort herself.

Add to that Antirochus and Euphemia, who were dragged into the mess because of Mikhail's radicalism... those two children were actually even more exhausted.

After all, they have already formed ingrained habits of living and cultivating themselves... including the scope of their studies.

However, when they discussed the matter with Mikhail, the theories he proposed were all within knowledge circles they had never encountered before.

Euphemia was alright; she only wanted the answer and had no interest in investigating the process. If Mikhail and Antirochus reached an agreement, then she would write down the result.

But Antirochus couldn't do that; he had to figure out why he had come to that conclusion... so he had to reread a certain type of book.

That was almost like breaking down his foundation and then slowly rebuilding it.

It's really painful.

However, the child persevered, and even his eyes became much brighter and clearer... Before that, Antirochus did not actually seem like a son of the sun.

He is not enthusiastic or friendly; he is cold and indifferent in his interactions with people.

Among those who knew his identity, many couldn't understand why the sun god had chosen him.

It's one thing to not understand, but to insist on saying it out loud.

Alexis hadn't thought that way.

Among the sun potions Lori gave her, some were even made by the sun god himself.

It's impossible that person didn't know who received these potions, yet didn't care at all.

The true meaning of the sun is definitely not the simple and superficial things that humans talk about.

However, when Antirochus smiled at her recently, she felt as if it were a sunny afternoon.

so good.

Alexandra didn't know how to describe it, but at that time, Antirochus was the sun that broke through the clouds, pierced through the darkness, and found itself.

Alexis liked the brother and sister who looked a lot like her own children.

Therefore, they were automatically and consciously included in the category of those who needed to supplement nutrition and energy.

But it's not easy.

After all, Alexis didn't intend to do anything too attention-grabbing.

Furthermore, it seems that Bishop Garrett has been having a major falling out with the Church of the Night lately... and the production of sun-dried food is not keeping up with the pace.

After all, the demand for this product is not high... and it cannot form a production and consumption chain that can be transformed into an industry.

If Bishop Garrett leaves, without his urging and pressure, those farms probably won't waste any more time and energy on this.

Alexis was prepared to cover everything... Once those guys started to leave, she would buy up all the finished products.

As for training methods, it would be better if they were available, but she wouldn't necessarily need to get her hands on them if they weren't.

Having once worked as a housekeeper in a castle, she was very knowledgeable about the production methods of these foods.

The Earth Church's products of sunlight are clearly stuffed with sun grass... What's really important are the sunlight-based plants that can be used as fodder.

She had already obtained the seeds long ago.

Lori definitely has enough magical gardens to plant and cultivate.

When it comes to breeding poultry and livestock, who can compare to Lori Montes?
He barely paid attention to it, yet he created a special species that even the believers of the earth envied.

According to the Church of the Earth, Lowry is a natural breeder... all he has to do is stand there and personally put in the experimental materials, and evolution will go in the direction he wants most.

If it weren't for the feud between Valera and Lori, many factions within the Church of the Earth would have been eager for Lori to "visit" them.

Alexandra had a vague feeling that the seemingly most unyielding Dark Night Church wasn't actually that unreasonable.

But the Earth Church, which seems to have few conflicts with the outside world, is truly shameless, immoral, and lacking in manners when it comes to their so-called path.

When you encounter something like this, you need to have the power to make them afraid to speak or act easily.

If Antirochus hadn't been chosen by the sun god and hadn't joined forces with them... his fate probably wouldn't have been good.

In a place like Emilia City, where high-ranking believers of the Earth Church gather, his special abilities couldn't be hidden at all... The power of the sun can indeed help plants grow, but it's impossible for a magical plant to grow that fast.

Theodoric's intelligence was clearly far superior to that of magical plants of the same level. When he played with Penelope, he devised many strategies without any guidance and even imitated basic magic circles.

Although magic circles can be drawn by rote memorization, being able to use them at the right time proves that Theodoric understands the true essence of those magic circles.

This level of intelligence is similar to that of an ordinary mage.

Nature mages will inevitably have their own attribute preferences. For example, Valera can make her magical plants undergo elemental mutations... She doesn't need to learn spells; her banyan tree is a natural elemental spell.

This is really powerful; one person is an army... Magical plants don't need long incantations to use spells.

That's why the Earth Church was so unwilling to give her up.

However, Antirochus's attributes are more valuable than Valera's.

No matter how deep his thoughts are, or how well he can hide himself... it would be difficult to do so without the power of the sun.
