Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 1063 Alexis Shopping
When she has the means, Alexandra is always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.

Of course, they have to be pitiful but not hateful, and know how to save themselves.

Antirochus was the type she admired.

In addition, the children are genuinely making friends with each other.

Therefore, after relieving herself of her burdens and no longer worrying about having to let the children grow up on their own, Alexis immediately devoted herself to solving all their problems outside of academics.

She also took advantage of the rare opportunity to stroll around the magic shops opened by the Church of Wealth every day... Although most things could be bought in Qingfeng Territory, there were always some local specialties with smaller production volumes that were only available here.

Businessmen will always consider maximizing profits.

Even if some items are popular, their value is capped, and it's not worth wasting their storage space.

But for Alexandra, this was no big deal at all.

Lowry's storage rings are all hung directly in a jewelry cabinet the size of a wardrobe, and anyone can choose one... and that's the kind with more space.

He simply piled up the small storage equipment that could be bought for 5000 gold coins outside in his warehouse.

Chesca would go there every now and then to catch a bunch of them and sell them at the magic shop in his territory.

This is also a major specialty of Qingfeng Territory... It always creates a buying frenzy.

Even though the storage ring's space exceeds the small range, such as the normal maximum of 20 cubic meters, he expanded it to 25 cubic meters or even more.

But as long as it doesn't exceed 30 cubic meters, Lowry won't specifically pick it out.

These storage rings, which require magical binding to determine their internal size, became the most popular gift boxes among adventurers and minor nobles.

Some people even received a gift package containing 28 cubic meters of food.

A 30-cubic-meter storage ring will cost an extra 1,000 gold coins!
This is not a small sum of money for some minor nobles, let alone for adventurers.

Although she had always been in contact with people at a relatively high level, Alex had never met many people who were as indifferent to hundreds or thousands of gold coins as Lori.

Even the Lord of the Tower couldn't do that... It wasn't because he cared about those few gold coins, but because he absolutely refused to let others have them.

Especially since the benefits came from his own pocket.

Being rich doesn't mean they don't care about money... It's fine for them to spend lavishly, but it's absolutely unacceptable for others to profit at their own expense.

But for some reason, Lowry always seemed to be inexplicably slow to react in this regard.

However, in some areas, he is exceptionally shrewd... unwilling to suffer even the slightest loss.

Lowry has never lost a negotiation with anyone who tries to bargain with him.

This means he's not ignorant, just his understanding is a bit... well, that's normal.

Although this doesn't quite fit his dragon origins, the issue of bloodline is really hard to explain.

Especially after having her own child, Alexis's understanding of this became even clearer.

Mikhail and Penelope, her influence can be seen everywhere, but she doesn't have the nerve to say that the child looks like her.
-
"Ms. Alexandra, she's been throwing money around lately!" Luciano said enviously, looking at the intelligence report in his hand.

"Even you're envious, then there are quite a few." The young knight sitting behind him said with a longing look, "The people of Qingfeng Territory are just rich!"

If Pat had appeared in Emilia, the young man would have attributed his wealth and power to cultists.

Even without the threat of the Tower Lord, the higher-ups at Emilia wouldn't allow Pat to appear openly, and this is one of the reasons why.

Pat is a decent person with a strong moral compass; in fact, one could say he has a higher moral standard than some orthodox Christians.

But the most prominent mark on her is that she is a cult member.

Cult members can be good people... but ordinary people should not be led to believe that even if they join a cult, they can still uphold the basic principles of being a decent human being.

The image of cult members in the minds of ordinary people is one of rapid acquisition of power and easy money.

However, the price of that power and money is an inhuman appearance, a filthy and corrupt soul, and a life that can be lost at any moment.

Most people, however, still prefer to live a good life, even if it means living a poor and ordinary life.

However, if someone like Pat were to appear in such a grand and illustrious manner, and even gain the approval of the Light faction... then the walls that had been built before would instantly collapse.

Then, it could never be fixed.

But it doesn't concern Alexis.

The cultist markings on her were very faint; most people, when they saw her, would only remember that she was a maidservant of Countess Gabriel in Green Maple Territory.

A subordinate whom Archmage Lowry has recognized and never abandoned.

The Emilia royal family also vaguely knew that during this period, the Green Maple Territory had sent resources to Ariges more than once.

Just how wealthy is Qingfeng Territory...? A high-ranking wealth cultist in Emilia City once said that if Qingfeng Territory were willing to open its arms to them, any believer who did so could immediately gain the honor of entering the main temple.

Normally, for the head of a large chamber of commerce to establish equal merit, he must ensure that his caravans make no small profits for a hundred years and open up more than ten new trade routes.

At this point, how many new trade routes can be opened?
Otherwise, given the wealth-seeking nature of believers who seek profit and avoid harm, they wouldn't have gone to the Ice Kingdom and the vicinity of Scroll Mountain.

You could really die there!

Especially Scroll Mountain, it's riddled with pits... Of the powerful figures surrounding it, the one who seems most benign is actually the White Dragon King Travis, the guy whose personality is becoming increasingly similar to the White Dragon's. One can imagine how difficult life is for wealth-seeking believers who aspire to advance further.

The Qingfeng Territory was the perfect undeveloped land they had always dreamed of.

As long as there is even the slightest chance, they will never give up completely... Although some fools angered Archmage Lowry before, aren't they all dead now?

Yes, the whole family really died out.

The goddess of wealth does not favor dirty deals; she encourages, at most, trade in the gray areas.

It's only about money, nothing that will endanger lives.

This kind of work was already being done by the various noble families, so it wouldn't be a problem for the members of their wealth church to follow suit.

However, the goddess of wealth only accepts the power of faith before her statue; she touches nothing else.

She really didn't know much about those dirty things... Even if she knew that such things were bound to happen, the Goddess of Wealth didn't feel she had any obligation to manage them.

She has made it clear that those things are not within her tolerance.

Besides, being isolated from the world, she couldn't possibly feel the sin on the gold coins.

Then she could only treat the 'cleaned' money as the proceeds from those transactions.

Unless someone can tell her these things directly and provide sufficient evidence.

The evidence from Qingfeng Territory is more than sufficient.

Therefore, when the incident occurred, the Goddess of Wealth swiftly withdrew the divine power from the two mastermind families who had orchestrated it.

There's no need to think about what happens next.

For other believers who are also working hard to earn money from the main temple's entrance fees, is there a more legitimate way to make money than these two?

It is only natural to nip it in the bud.

Even a fool in the Church of Wealth can't be a clerk; no one will leave themselves any future trouble.

It sounds simple.

But all of this is predicated on being able to bring this matter directly to the Goddess of Wealth.

Although the gods have become much more active in recent years, not everyone can do it... not even those favored by the gods.

But the Grand Mage Lori of Qingfeng Territory always managed to find the real culprit.

This is the main reason why all the major churches, despite being filled with envy and resentment, have actually become obedient.

Otherwise, if the will of the gods were truly so effective... the Earth Church wouldn't have ended up in this pathetic state.

There are no evil gods, but gods don't want to be all-knowing... they can be deceived.

The Emilia royal family, especially Queen Louise, once dreamed of transforming Emilia into a city like Maple Ridge, although they have long since given up on that dream.

This place was never truly her territory.

But her pursuit was no secret, so Luciano and those around him were well aware of the situation in Qingfeng Territory.

Luciano shook his head and sighed, "It seems that Ms. Alexandra has already begun preparing to leave Emilia."

"Her shopping style is a bit hard to pinpoint," a female scholar who had also seen the report said, frowning.

Luciano stood up and habitually looked out the window... Golden maple leaves were falling in the air, but there wasn't a single leaf on the ground.

Sunlight maple trees do not actually shed their leaves.

Floating is simply a form she prefers.

Luciano blinked... The scenery outside was familiar to him, yet also somewhat unfamiliar.

He had this subtle feeling because he was used to staying at the Dark Walker team's base at the entrance of Jin Feng Road when he was working.

That was the team he had led for twenty years, and he knew each member as well as his own siblings.

But, like, and real, are completely different.

It took him five long years to slowly figure out those complex emotions... and to confirm the reality that he had been betrayed by his best friend.

Of course, in those people's eyes, this doesn't count as betrayal.

After all, they just wanted to control the people around Luciano and prevent any outsiders from joining.

They even tried to interfere with the selection of the future crown princess... even though Luciano had said that he did not intend to marry and have children within the next hundred years.

Queen Louise will not abdicate anytime soon, so Luciano is fully free to pursue his dreams.

However, his 'brothers' only wanted to become vines on his body, binding him and trapping him.

Not everyone participated, but they all tacitly chose to keep it a secret... Luciano was their childhood friend, as were the others.
