Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 1095 You Don't Have That Ability
“Mom…” Penelope cautiously approached Alexandra.

"What's wrong?" Alexis looked up in surprise.

At this time, Penelope should be receiving various training sessions at the castle.

After carefully inquiring about Penelope's studies, Lowry promptly arranged courses for her.

Two-thirds of the lessons were practical, and the remaining third were theoretical lessons used to summarize the mistakes she made in practice.

This has indeed led to Penelope's rapid progress.

Targeted, one-on-one teaching is indeed of great significance.

But Alexandra didn't regret the years she spent in Emilia City... Penelope is now able to cherish the generous treatment she receives because she learned enough lessons in the past.

Mikhail is the same; what he has now is something he could only dream of in the past.

After discovering Mikhail's personality and interests, Lowry simply handed him over to Taylor.

Although Taylor is not well-known outside, in Green Maple Territory, he is definitely the knight with the most solid foundation and the most comprehensive skills.

Moreover, the knights under his command are all of good quality and shrewd mind, and Taylor has extensive experience in dealing with all kinds of people.

Even if Mikhail is smart, he is still just an 11-year-old child and cannot escape Taylor's grasp.

Besides, the knight training sessions that Lori arranged for him were only four hours after 5 a.m. and two hours before dinner. The rest of the time, Mikhail could stay in the castle's library.

Lowry even spent most of the day talking to Mikhail and then gave him a reading list to fill in the gaps in his knowledge, even specifying which bookshelf to choose.

Mikhail was utterly shocked to find so much to learn in his basic curriculum, and then went completely mad, only going home to sleep each day.

The two children didn't even have a chance to act out; they were as obedient as little sparrows in the face of Lowry's overwhelming strength.

They were no different from the little birds outside Maple Castle that waited for food with their mouths open and never chirped while Lori was sleeping.

As for Antirochus and Euphemia, there's no need to mention them.

One of them was placed directly next to Valera, where he learned the philosophy of the nature mage, as well as how to manage the daily affairs of the territory, how to communicate with the outside world, and the ways in which the major powers interact.

The house, which I had happily prepared, I only stayed in for one night.

It's a bittersweet experience.

As for Euphemia, she also has a considerable workload.

Alexandra had always treated the brother and sister like children, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with them spending time with Mikhail and the others.

But after arriving in Qingfeng Territory, Antirokos and Euphemia, who were in their twenties and had never had a proper job, were met with Chesca's confusion and bewilderment... Cultivation is indeed important, but cultivation alone is not enough.

Lori is the lord, so he has to complete his duties as lord first!
In Qingfeng Territory, the only people in their twenties who can still keep learning are Bobo, Weiss, and Lily.

Everyone else has to come out and do something.

Even those mages and scholars who spend most of their time studying still need to set aside some time each day to complete tasks or do some side jobs that can earn money and resources.

Even if you have money, you can't do nothing.

Lowry's territory has never been a place for idlers.

In the past, Alexandra might not have seen the benefits of Lori's actions, but now, having traveled far and wide and witnessed countless cultures, she clearly understands that Lori's behavior is truly a benevolent act for the territory and its people.

Even in the safest place in this world, nothing is absolutely safe.

However, there shouldn't be any major problems for the territory itself.

However, for an individual, that is 100%.

Alexis used to be quite proud of her management skills.

Thanks to her and Yages' joint efforts, no major disturbances involving bullying or a series of murders ever occurred within their jurisdiction.

However, she cannot deny that the existence of gray areas inevitably leads to some crimes.

If you're unlucky...

Even though Alexandra was extremely concerned about the safety of her territory, she dared not tell anyone that there was no need to worry and that she could travel freely in every corner of the territory.

Even Qingfeng Territory wouldn't dare say that!

You must understand, this is a place where there are eyes and guardians in the sky, on the ground, and in the water.

But the human heart is the most unpredictable thing, and the wildness of animals is not so easy to completely eliminate.

But the Lowry territory is really peaceful.

Peace was so great that ordinary people had no sense of vigilance at all; farmers dared to walk alone in the bushes, and even women could carry axes and go out to chop firewood alone.

In such an environment, if one acts like a noble young master or lady, disregarding everything, then dealing with problems will inevitably be very difficult.

It could even be described as terrible.

Even if they're only there to earn merit and complete the most basic tasks, they still have to interact with people and participate in small-scale battles—battles that are no different from hunting for adventurers. Children raised this way will never be completely incapable of handling challenges; they will possess the most basic fighting instincts when faced with difficulties.

Alexis didn't know if those people understood Lori's good intentions.

Knowing Lowry as she did, even if the boy intended to do it, he wouldn't publicize it.

Because Euphemia doesn't have the same distinct traits as her brother, and there were very few Nightwalkers in the territory before, she is currently working shifts in various departments.

Although Chesca clearly intended to entrust her with the task of gathering intelligence on the territory... Previously, due to the special circumstances of the four Toller siblings, these tasks were done together.

Whoever encounters the problem should solve it, then record the solution and hand it over to Lowry for review.

They don't worry about anyone hiding anything from each other, so they don't need a dedicated person to handle these situations.

Ultimately, we still have to report to Lowry.

However, this certainly cannot continue after Lily.

Antirochus and Euphemia were, after all, 'one of their own' who had returned from outside. Although their strength was far beyond the reach of those in the territory who also aspired to rise to power, they could never command the same respect as Chesca and the others.

Actually, after returning, Alex understood why Lori valued Antirochus and Euphemia so much.

Lily has some personality issues; she's definitely prone to nepotism.

However, Qingfeng Territory has already established a stable set of promotion rules at the bottom and middle levels.

If Lily were to directly handle those complex interpersonal relationships, she would only consider whether she was happy or not.

Therefore, an isolation layer must be placed between them.

Lowry had actually tried her best... but she still couldn't change Lily's arrogant personality.

Dragons are, after all, extraordinary beings. When they look at people, they first pay attention to their energy reactions... No matter how smart a person is, if they can be killed with a single slap, they are worthless.

So even though Lily knew she couldn't act recklessly, she couldn't really take it seriously.

But it is precisely because of this personality that she trusts the assistants that Lori assigns to her even more.

That's alright, it's better than the kind of pet she found herself to pass the time with.

That child will only choose to hear pleasant words over kind intentions.

This is a racial trait, and no one can do anything about it... Yariges had some doubts. She wondered if the White Dragon King back then had fallen for the trap set by the Goddess of Night and the Goddess of Rain, even though he knew there was something wrong with it, because he was easily swayed and liked to hear flattering words.

Euphemia is a natural-born talkative child, making her perfect for this role as a transit point.

Although it seemed like it wouldn't be difficult, Alexis wasn't that naive.

Lowry had been preparing for everything to go to Star Fortress for a long time, so how could she not have looked for the right person?
Since the maze opened, he has rescued quite a few people from his territory... but he has never been satisfied.

Antirochus and Euphemia were simply gifted, perfectly fulfilling all of Lori's requirements.

Lowry couldn't be more grateful!
As for Mikhail and Penelope... Lowry seems to have other plans.

However, it's pointless to make any plans now. Who knows if the two children will suddenly want a spontaneous romantic getaway when they grow up?

Lowry always had an unusual tolerance for children and would not set their future before they reached adulthood.

Looking at her daughter, who had been running around like crazy these past few days, Alexandra asked again, "Did you encounter anything special?"

Maple Castle is truly a place of miracles... Not only are demigods permanently residing there, but the Lord of Storms and the Sun God also occasionally appear.

Penelope should have gotten used to the presence of the white dragon and the swift wolf by now, and even many large birds that blot out the sky. Alex guesses she probably ran into a god around the corner, which is why she was so frightened.

"Mom~ what I said before, wanting to go and see the iceberg cliffs..." Penelope said in a little panic, "doesn't count anymore?"

Alexandra looked at her strangely: "Although you often announce bad news, you certainly don't have that much ability."

Even the gods couldn't do that!
What did you hear that suddenly gave you this idea?

“Lowry, tell Mikhail and me that we’re going to check out the Great Cliff in three days,” Penelope whispered. “I suspect he overheard that time.”

“It’s normal to hear that,” Alex smiled slightly. “There are no secrets in the North that Lori Montes doesn’t know.”

This saying has been circulating forty years.

Not to mention standing on the ground of Qingfeng Territory.

There are some things he just doesn't want to show he knows.

Then Alexis asked, puzzled, "What's Lori doing at the Great Cliff?"

"They said they were going to renovate the military camps and send Mal and Komran to take over as border commanders."

"A border commander at a cliff outpost?" Alexis pondered for a moment before saying, "That would indeed be a good option for those two children."
