Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 1108: Is it Oman that's coming?
Lori was a little confused: "The priesthood of Amanata, isn't that... wait? Is it Aman who's coming?"

Alexius stared at him for a moment: "My lord is not quite sure either, but he knows it is very evil, only the scorching sun."

Do you know anything? There's been no news from the Goddess of the Night.

Lori couldn't help but scratch her head: "I don't know much about Oman either. All I know is that she is the most scorching sun in the desert and likes to make fun of humans."

Their most common tactic is to sow discord among humans, causing them to fight amongst themselves in order to destroy the oases on which humans depend for survival.

The key point is that she didn't even exploit human nature; instead, she directly oppressed and enslaved the humans she captured, using her divine status.

Amannata has two faces with slave priesthood... What's most disgusting is that she will also release the humans whose minds she controlled after everything is over.

Most people who kill their relatives and friends can't endure it and end their own lives.

Even the Five-Colored Dragon hated and looked down on the things she did.

In desert regions, the term "bitch" generally refers to her.

She even acquired the divine title of "whore."

"The way the rain goddess acts?" Alexius pondered for a moment before asking.

“The Goddess of Rain would probably die a horrible death in Toril, since she can’t really disgust anyone,” Lori replied crisply.

Alexius's eyes widened slightly: "The Goddess of Night didn't say that, she only said that it might be a disgusting character."

“Her information comes from the silver moon goddess Serene of Toril,” Lori replied calmly. “Serene’s perception is quite different from that of normal people.”

What we find utterly absurd is nothing more than a trivial matter to her, something she can laugh off.

It's like discussing the definition of evil with your partner.

He suddenly gave a strange laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Alexius asked sharply.

“I once heard a joke,” Lowry replied slowly. “Someone told the Dark Angels that they had been burning, killing, and looting in their own world, killing hundreds of thousands of people.”

He looked at Alexius with a smile and asked, "Guess what the dark angel answered?"

“Too little, not worth mentioning?” Alexius said thoughtfully.

“She said, ‘Yes,’ and then what about the next day?” Lori asked, staring into Alexius’s eyes.

Alexius didn't react at first, but after a few minutes his pupils suddenly contracted and his expression became somewhat forced: "Heh...you really know how to joke."

“You know whether I’m joking or not.” Lori stood up casually. “I have to take care of some official business.”

If the Ice Kingdom goes to war, some resources will likely be affected.

Watching Lori and Chesca's departing figures intently, Alexius suddenly shook his head and smiled: "You saw right through me!"
Truly, she is even more cunning and terrifying than my lord described.

"Was that demigod testing you?" Chesca, who had been silent behind Lori, couldn't help but ask as soon as he closed the door to the secret chamber.

“Half and half!” Lori thought for a moment before answering. “He seemed a little worried that I would be affected by the Lord of Ice.”

Chesca gave a look of disgust: "Arrogant."

“A common problem in the solar system.” Lori smiled slightly. “Besides, didn’t I retaliate?”

Thinking of Lowry's words, Chesca couldn't help but smile.

How could a foolish evil god like the Lord of Ice be compared to the Dark Angels?

“However, it’s not really a problem that he would have such thoughts.” Lowry calmly pointed out the key point: “The Gezar bloodline is born with evil and dark power.”

This has nothing to do with nature. Isn't Penelope a good girl?

But her nature does contain a sinister and corrupting side.

If left unchecked, and even if she were to join the evil camp like the Lord of Ice, Penelope would undoubtedly fall into an even more terrible state.

“But that child won’t,” Chesca said confidently.

“Of course not,” Lori replied matter-of-factly. “She and Mikhail had specifically read Ms. Pat’s biography, and they both understood the horrors of evil.”

The biography was compiled by Lowry and placed below the portrait of Pat in the memorial gallery.

The two children went to find it and read it very early on.

More than any grand principles, the two children understood that if they went astray, the one who would suffer the most would be their own mother.

That would render all her years of painful struggles completely futile.

Therefore, two children who deeply love their mother would never willingly turn to evil forces.

As long as Lowry is still around, nothing unacceptable to them will happen.

Chesca nodded: "So, you didn't stop Mr. Alexius's probing either?"

“That wasn’t a test, Chesca,” Lowry said softly as he sat down at his desk. “He was an ancestor of Gezar, a direct descendant of the two children, and he wouldn’t do anything that could be misunderstood.”

His love for the two children is genuine.

However, in his heart, children should grow up happily and healthily to avoid any psychological trauma. In his mind, Mrs. Alexandra was too restrictive of the children… Children are naturally mischievous!

He loves children, but he doesn't quite trust them.

Cheska suddenly leaned close to Lowry and lowered his voice: "The original Gezar, especially the one that came to the North, didn't they... have problems long ago?"

“The Sun God System has the most rules,” Lowry replied in a way that wasn’t really an answer.

But Chesca immediately understood and didn't bring it up again... he just glanced at the ceiling with pity.

"Should we close the checkpoint on the cliff?" She quickly returned to the main point. "Without your order, Mar probably wouldn't remember to close it."

He was a great knight who took pride in battle and would not easily compromise with others.

“Not for now.” Lori thought for a moment. “The Ice Priest on the other side can handle these minor issues.”

We'll reconsider if the battlefield spreads to the surrounding area.

“Other border territories will probably close,” Chesca said, frowning. “I’m worried that some people will try to leave through here.”

“Anyone capable of breaking through that guy’s camp can easily cross the mountains and bypass Vargas. There’s no need for them. They won’t do something like offending the Ice Priest first and then me,” Lori replied casually. “As for the others, they’re definitely people with official clearance status. Let them pass.”

"Just block off the path leading to Qingfeng Territory."

Chesca nodded.

Although Qingfeng Territory does not allow these people to enter at will, Hamilton Territory next door has no problem.

There was already a path on the cliff pass that led directly to the other side... As a border lord, Hamilton was responsible for providing logistical support to all border passes and even replenishing troops at critical moments.

Therefore, even though the logistics of the Cliff Camp were handed over to Green Maple Territory, the road to Hamilton was still to be preserved.

Lori didn't want to interfere in certain political events, and anyone who might be allowed to pass by the Ice Priest must have a 'legitimate and reasonable' reason... at least that's how the Ice Church sees it...

Then it would be better to hand it over directly to Earl Hamilton.

Of course, now that Ezra and his wife have moved into the Astral Fortress of Al-Saran, everything in Hamilton's life is being handled by his heir, Armes.

Whatever news these Ice People brought, it probably wasn't to the point that even that person couldn't handle it.

"There's some news from the Ice Plains. Will it affect Valera?" Lori couldn't help but ask Chesca, recalling the rumors spread by a certain queen who thought she was being clever.

“Insignificant people and things,” Chesca replied with a smile. “Mr. Antirochus Lantana is more worthy of Varela’s consideration.”

"Valeira really likes that child?" Lowry asked with a smile.

“Hmm.” Chesca tilted her head. “Antilokos and Valera have some similarities.”

No, it's not related to the Master of Nature.

Valera felt that if she were in Antiochus's situation, she would probably have handled many things the same way he did.

Lori nodded; Valera certainly had the air of an older sister.

Even during her most helpless years, Varela did her best to protect her younger siblings.

While not to the point of being overly emotional, both Valera and Antirochus did indeed place a portion of their affections on their younger siblings.

This is normal.

People always need some emotional support, otherwise they are prone to becoming abnormal.

"So the only thing we should be concerned about lately is Mikhail and Penelope's twelfth birthday party?" Lowry laughed happily. "Make good preparations and get Valera and Charles back."

Mar and Komran were also called up.

The next time everyone is here, it will probably be the power handover ceremony between Lily and me.

You can't have fun with things that are too serious.

Chesca nodded: "That's good. Euphemia has already taken over most of my work. She's very good at analyzing intelligence."

Actually, she initially wanted to choose the more well-rounded Antiochus as Lily's deputy. The boy had a better political mind and could advise Lily at any time.

Although there's nothing wrong with things being the way they are now, since Green Maple Valley is the source of most of the territory's affairs.

Previously, Valera would handle these directly and then hand them over to Lowry for review.

However, she might not be able to be sure that Lily would trust the new Maple Valley Master as much as Lori trusts Valera, which is why she felt that the territory's assistant was more important.

Chesca helplessly conducted a self-examination... Indeed, the biggest problem between the old minister and the new lord lies in comparison.

Fortunately, the four of them left directly, and Mal and the other two went to the King's Army, so there was no misunderstanding... Although they didn't mean any harm, it would definitely have backfired in the end.

From now on, it's Lily's turn to lead Qingfeng, so she shouldn't interfere too much.

So from then on, Chesca just focused on leading people and stopped offering any suggestions.

Lori glanced north: "Even if Alex is useless, he can at least last half a month, right?"
