Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 1101 Penelope, a woman of her word
Before she finished speaking, Penelope's face flashed with a complex mix of emotions: panic, resentment, and regret.

Stared at by Mikhail with the fiercest gaze, she timidly and skillfully uttered a string of 'Pui pui pui' sounds.

Mikhail lowered his head and thought for a moment, then simply tossed the box to Penelope: "You'll have to open this yourself to avoid getting a beating from me, Penelope."

Penelope wanted to refuse, but she didn't dare.

Ever since Mikhail suddenly unleashed his power and was able to create light scrolls on his own, she has been unable to defeat her brother.

Although Mikhail only knows two or three types, they are all types that hard counter her dark skills.

Especially that light-burst ball.

While it wouldn't force her out of the shadows, it would completely expose her hiding place... Mikhail is extremely sensitive to dark elements; he can detect even the slightest trace of them.

Penelope tried, and if she remained still, Antirochus wouldn't be able to find her.

That was a Sunlight-type mage whose level was much higher than theirs, and a very outstanding one at that.

Therefore, it's definitely Mikhail who's abnormal, not that she's incompetent.

Of course, she can still run away if she wants to.

Mikhail hasn't grown up enough to fly or dive yet, but the key point is that the two of them live in the same house!

Penelope has to behave herself if she doesn't want to never be able to go home... She has to bear the consequences of her own actions.

Despite her wrinkled and aggrieved expression, she still didn't dare to throw the little box back.

However, Penelope didn't want to put this thing into her bracelet.

She looked left and right, grabbed the small box, and jumped several times, landing directly on an icy tree three hundred meters away.

This is a semi-magical creature. Although it has plant-like characteristics, it is encased in layers of azure ice... It can only grow in high-altitude, cold regions where magical energy is slightly higher and more concentrated.

The military camp on the cliff has a magic circle, so there is no way to prevent the dissipation of magical energy, and naturally, there is no way to prevent the growth of this plant.

However, the Ice Tree, which draws energy from the military camp's magic array, naturally sides with them and doesn't even release its icy chill on them, thus providing some protection, so they haven't bothered to remove it.

But Penelope didn't have the aura of a military camp magic circle on her. When Mar noticed her movement, he rushed over there, afraid that the little girl would be exposed to the cold air in the snow.

He stopped halfway through the run.

Penelope did not disturb the Ice Tree at all, even though she had already landed on its trunk.

Mar was somewhat surprised.

The Ice Tree is indeed a bit slow, after all, its outermost layer is ice, not its bark... but they are both wearing armor, at most itss is a little thicker, how much difference can there be?
Penelope isn't even level 10, yet she can... What is she doing?
Mar suddenly lunged forward.

"Ah!" Penelope, who had just carefully opened the box, was blown into the air by a gust of wind from below.

"Land over here!" Mar shouted anxiously.

Penelope nimbly twirled a few times in the air, did two somersaults, and finally managed to land on Mar's outstretched hands.

The Ice Tree sensed Mar's presence, and its trunk creaked and groaned a few times before it reluctantly gave up on continuing its pursuit of Penelope.

But a gust of wind blew the box down the mountain.

"What did you find?" Mar shook his hand and put the bewildered little girl on the ground. "The Ice Tree rarely reacts this strongly!"

“I…” Penelope said with a frustrated expression, “I found a box in the wall and wanted to see what was inside.”

"Oh?" Mar asked with interest, "Do you know what it is?"

Sometimes it's so hard for us to even move the Ice Tree or blow away the snow on the ground!

With this thing, we can make it blow in a fixed direction from now on!

Penelope said blankly, "Well, you can find them very easily; they're everywhere in the territory."

"Huh?" Mar's eyes widened. "What?"

"Go to Lily, no, Lily is probably not that much of a threat. Just look in the toilets of Bolaños and Luscania."

"Big nails are enough."

Mar was a little confused, but he kept talking: "Oh, dragon dung! I'll have to tell Cheska about it. It's a specialty of the territory."

The Earth Church has been buying our plants at high prices, and our own territory also has a significant demand for them.

The trees in that poultry forest over there grow so tall and strong and don't go dormant in winter, it's all thanks to..."

“No, no need to say more, I know all that. Chesca has already taught me the courses on territory economics!” Penelope stopped Mar from continuing.

How could she know what that thing was just by looking at it? Wasn't it because she had smelled it and seen it before?

Although it was somewhat underwhelming, it was indeed a major pillar of Qingfeng Territory.

The diverse flora and fauna within the territory, each with its own bloodline and multifaceted development, all owe their existence to their connection with the dragon.

Especially plants. In fact, how could the Earth Church not know that dragon dung has such great uses?

Dragons, wherever they live, will have an extremely terrible impact on the local flora and fauna... Whether they like it or not, if they can't move, they will eventually turn into dragons.

But only Qingfeng Territory can use this as a business.

Even if the Earth Church had a thousand times the courage, they wouldn't dare to approach White Dragon Valley.

Luscania had actually considered it before... After all, she wouldn't be living in the Northland Palace anymore, so she could completely clear out the deep cave that had accumulated for hundreds of years.

But Travis refused to comply.

In the end, she had no choice but to give Leon the benefit, and she was very disappointed that she couldn't ask for any money from it.

However, Luscania still established some secret relationships with Chesca... becoming an intermediary for certain Mr. and Ms. Dragon who were also willing but did not want to reveal their identities.

Qingfengling thus began shipping 'Qingfengling specialty fertilizer' from all over the world.

Of course, in name only, these things have nothing to do with the majestic older white dragon; they're just a way for the three little dragons to earn pocket money... Lowry wouldn't go so far as to make money off of this stuff.

He didn't actually have that idea at all.

But, for some reason, when he was still young and lively and dared to do anything, he understood the principle that "a crop depends entirely on fertilizer."

If it were Lowry now, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't have spoken out about certain theories or put them into practice.

But back then, he would still burst into laughter at the "torrential rain" from the Poultry Forest, and even secretly plot against some people and animals to get soaked.

Therefore, we must dare to think, dare to act, and dare to do.

The three little dragons, who had no sense of shame, were overjoyed that they could earn gold and gems from certain 'products'.

Although he later understood what self-respect meant when he grew up... because of a certain 'good reputation,' all the white dragons who took the opportunity to sell 'trash' had to give them 20% of the profits.

Their own mother, Luscania, only received 20%, and that was because Lori refused to share the profits and gave them all to her.

Chesca knew very well that once Lowry left the territory, high-end products would inevitably decrease, and Maple Territory would likely revert to being a 'territory for exporting agricultural and sideline products'.

Although garment factories have also cultivated some scholars with artistic vision and design skills, their limited abilities prevent them from being truly unique.

Lowry's designs are always so unexpected, mainly because he has an extremely strong control over the laws and can change the shape of magic circles at will.

Therefore, even an irregular hem will not have any impact.

But how can a junior scholar achieve that?
Once a professional has passed the intermediate level, it is impossible for them to tie their time to a factory.

Even if the factory's profit sharing is high enough, it won't work.

Who doesn't want to live longer and with more dignity?

Although mid-level scholars do not receive territory, they can still have a status equivalent to that of nobles.

The Azure Maple Territory has never restricted these professionals; the contracts are all very lenient. Once they reach the intermediate level, they can leave whenever they want, as long as they sign a new confidentiality agreement and pay off the training fees for the territory over the years.

Of course, the garment factory wasn't forced to close down.

Even if we follow the original magic circle transformation diagram, the designers still have a lot of room to maneuver; there will be no shortage of new ideas for at least several hundred years.

It's just that the top-tier, most profitable part is gone.

Therefore, what truly allows Qingfeng Territory to maintain its important position in commercial circulation is this special fertilizer that only they are qualified to sell.

Being able to show Penelope around and explain all the secrets inside clearly and plainly is the greatest sign of how much he values ​​her.

But the little girl sometimes felt that this emphasis was truly heavy.

However, she couldn't refuse... After Lori left, she would definitely have to take control of some of the most secure magic arrays.

Antirochus certainly has control, and he is often the primary controller, but Penelope must act as the monitor.

No one but Lori herself can have 100% power... This was the first lesson Chesca taught her.

Chesca didn't originally have one, after all, she wasn't a magic user.

Some things seem to be predetermined by fate.

No matter how much Lori trusted Chesca, he had to manage the magic circle himself.

The capable Valera chose to stay in Maple Valley from the beginning to handle external affairs.

But now that the foundation has been laid, this new generation of managers should obediently follow these rules.

But that doesn't mean Penelope is willing to touch this thing herself!
Penelope, knowing full well that she had personally found these things herself, became increasingly frustrated.

Mar didn't feel anything at all... He personally handled all the affairs of his horse brothers.

So he just kept thinking, "Why would that servant hide this thing?"
