Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 1099 Lowry's Expectations

The barracks had long been cleaned up.

After confirming that the recipients were the two great knights of Qingfeng Territory and that the resources for the construction had been delivered to the Archmage Lori, the royal army that had been stationed there began to clean up the area with an almost ruthless, thorough approach.

Not a single trace of residue was left.

In the past, when the guards changed shifts, everyone would leave things scattered everywhere... Anyway, it was the servants who cleaned up the things, and those scraps of metal could be sold for a few dollars, so both sides could benefit.

What they save is time and energy, of course; they just need to remember not to forget to take the really good stuff with them.

Therefore, apart from some original broken tables and cabinets, these two buildings are relatively clean.

The house belonging to the servants, in particular, was easy to deal with except for the stone in the middle, which was a bit troublesome.

Those outermost flame-patterned wooden planks could even be slightly modified to become waterproof and fireproof flooring... Penelope could do that.

Mal and Komran readily agreed to the little girl's suggestion.

Even if there is a warm magic circle, it is inside the fortress.

These magically crafted floors could easily be placed in the plaza outside the fortress.

Although they certainly don't have knight apprentices here, low-ranking knights aren't very resistant to cold either, and they need to adapt gradually; at the very least, they can't stand on the snow right away.

But training is pointless inside a warm fortress; you have to go out and experience the temperature of the icy wilderness.

With these fire floors, there will be a small plaza next to the camp that never freezes.

They were used to training new recruits, knew exactly how to increase the intensity, and understood the importance of buffer zones.

Mal and Comran really adore their new little sister... Lowry is great in every way, but his talent for recycling is truly something else...

It wasn't that Lowry couldn't think of it, but rather that even if he did, he would still feel uncomfortable.

When he was little, he even crawled through mud pits and dared to climb sewers. I really don't know why he has so many taboos now that he's grown up.

Although Mar and Comran didn't understand, they weren't foolish enough to bring it up with Lowry.

It's a bit strange that obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can be developed later in life.

But considering that Lori's most famous magical artifact is a broom, this doesn't seem so strange.

Tsk tsk~
The two knights softened their movements considerably and secretly glanced at the archmage standing in mid-air peeling onions layer by layer.

Lowry ignored the commotion over there.

The purpose of assigning them work was to give them something to do and, incidentally, to familiarize them with the structure of ordinary buildings.

Especially Mikhail and Penelope.

The magic circle appears to be planar geometry, but it is actually a complex combination of solid geometry and planar geometry.

After gaining some understanding of buildings, one can gain some insight when looking at three-dimensional structures on a two-dimensional plane.

As for Mal and Komran, their main appeal is companionship.

When children are doing heavy work, an adult should be there to watch them.

While deftly severing the magical pathways between the walls with her mental power, Lori also used her magical hands to clean the walls, all the while calculating in her mind where the magical nodes of this 5,000-square-meter fortress should be placed.

His reason for demolishing and rebuilding everything was to expand the original rectangular fortress into a circle.

Lowry knew what was going on.

Regardless of what the Tower Lord is planning, the Magic Tower will reappear on the earth in two years.

The reason his astral fortress hasn't been fully completed yet is because he's waiting for that day.

With the magic tower serving as the energy center, controlling the magical energy in various areas of the fortress becomes much easier.

Moreover, it can also draw a large amount of void power from the astral plane.

Most importantly, we need to find a way to reconnect with the elemental realm and borrow some genuine energy from the four elements.

Most importantly, it can also activate the Shattering Array and the Garbage Transfer Array to resolve the unsolvable residues left behind in his spell experiments.

Lori had never experienced the hardship of lacking energy since he was a child, so his greatest longing for the magic tower was this thing.

First, use vacuum cutting to shred all the trash, then burn it with purifying fire. If there are still remnants, you can simply open a hole and throw it into the bottomless abyss... Although it is called random throwing, the mages are well aware that the only possible destination for their 'throwing' is the abyss.

Otherwise, why would they set up the random opening so meticulously, concentrating most of the array's computing power on absolute secrecy such as being untraceable and unpredictable?

Lowry was genuinely envious of this waste disposal center.

He did have a weakened version in his castle, but it could only do the first two steps, and the temperature of the flames didn't reach the standard he wanted.

It's at most equivalent to a fire wall spell cast by a fifth-ring mage... Although the burning area is large, the temperature is also a bit lower as a result.

Most importantly, it lacks the ability to purify and detoxify; at best, it meets the standards for normal combustion. It can handle normal household waste, even some metal fragments, but... it's not quite up to the task of dealing with his magical residue.

Lowry could only place a hazardous materials warehouse in the demiplane, and it was even in the form of a cubicle... He didn't even dare to let their auras come into contact with each other.

For this reason alone, he was practically obsessed with the magic tower.

But this is something that can't be rushed.

Before the Lord of the Tower completely relinquished his divine position as Lord of the Magic Tower, Lori didn't dare to even begin working on the initial plan, for fear of getting involved in any scandal.

However, the military camp, being a fortress, could be used for a flanking maneuver.

The buildings should be constructed in a circular pattern, progressing in concentric circles from the outside in, with a space left in the very center for a nine-story magic tower.

Although theoretically there shouldn't be any problems.

But that is the destiny journey of a great figure who embodies the will of the world, and can even be described as the master of the world.

Who knows what kind of turmoil might suddenly occur... Lori remembers that on Toril's side, an entire continent even changed planets because of the change of the goddess of magic!

Regardless of whether something will happen, it's always good to be prepared.

Lori didn't intend to be straightforward with Mal and the other two. She first designated the middle ring as an important supply warehouse, then placed the supplies that could form the basic structure of the magic tower in the most hidden inner warehouse, and set up an automatic activation magic circle... Once opened, it would automatically assemble together, and the outer wall of the warehouse would extend directly upwards, eventually settling into a tower shape.

As long as it's clearly explained to Mar that he won't open the innermost small warehouse unless absolutely necessary and there's no other way out, he can manage to do it.

Most importantly, Lowry also set up this warehouse so that only Mal and Komran could open it... and only his blood relatives could bypass this restriction to open it.

In total, it was just Mrs. Aragris and her son, Aragris.

He didn't even leave Cheska and her brother a way to control them... Any control array must have a backup plan, but the more backup plans there are and the more complex they are, the greater the chance of a mistake.

Just like the most ingenious schemes can often be ruined by a sudden, unexpected blow.

Using his human bloodline as a mark is the simplest method, without even needing to add a magical pathway.

All that's needed is his willpower.

Dragons are the most adept at utilizing their bloodline... Most importantly, they are skilled at using their soul will and the will of laws in dragon language to set restrictions on their bloodline.

Of course, the most common rule is that only I can access my treasure vault.

In this way, even if he uses blood ties as a lock, he doesn't have to worry about his brothers, sisters, parents, or children barging into his home.

Lowry used this dragon secret technique, which even the gods could not break.

Fortunately, he wasn't born from a five-colored dragon, and didn't have an eternal bloodline. No matter what he did, even if he became a ghost dragon, he couldn't escape his ancestor.

Lowry glanced down at Mikhail and Penelope, who were intently studying the house, and nodded in satisfaction.

He brought these two children along this time with a sense of urgency.

It's not that he's worried about anything wrong with the two children, but since he's going to teach them personally, he needs to understand their personalities and temperaments.

Whether one is ambitious or petty, serious or careless, impatient or calm... all require different ways of communication.

Although Lori knew that Mikhail and Penelope had developed good study habits in Emilia City and had a sense of awe and pursuit of knowledge and power, they would never be negligent or distracted in his class.

They certainly wouldn't throw a tantrum like Lily, thinking they'd learned enough and then rolling around on the ground in a huff.

But Lowry still hopes to help them identify their career inclinations while laying the foundation.

Whether it's a mage or a knight, attributes are certainly important, but their preferences are also crucial.

A person who instinctively chooses to dodge or use a detection skill first during combat will inevitably prefer control skills.

A person who acts impulsively will inevitably become more adept at offensive skills, even if they are trained to be cautious.

Even a child like Mikhail, who likes to be in control of everything, still has styles that he is better at and prefers.

His lack of basic courses, which he never noticed, proves this point.

But what's wrong with that? What 11-year-old can be so perfect?
Lowry, having the memories of the past, knew very well that maximizing her strengths was more advantageous than striving for all-around development.

Only by living a long life can you learn more.

Especially in cruel places like fantasy worlds.

Although his presence provided Mikhail and Penelope with a sufficiently safe space to develop, who knows what might suddenly happen?
She could live a peaceful and ordinary life, but Lowry absolutely did not want her younger siblings to experience the miserable days of "thirty years east of the river" (a Chinese idiom meaning a life of hardship and misfortune).

Lowry's greatest wish for them was for them to live a comfortable and carefree life in Hexi.
