Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 117 Lori's 'Not Good Enough' IQ
In fact, the royal family's judgment would often tend to favor the knight who caused the conflict, ensuring that the person who made the complaint would be satisfied and return safely while the royal family could make a big profit. After all, the royal family was more willing to show care and concern for the lower-class nobles.

Don't ask why the great nobleman has to pay so much to help the lord of the manor. The best result is to weaken his neighbor, undermine his prestige in front of the lower nobles, and let the knights understand his powerlessness.

Even fighting a war among nobles may not necessarily lead to such a good result, and the money spent and the price paid would be much greater.

As such incidents occurred more frequently, the lords who suffered would naturally restrain themselves and not act too barbarically.

Therefore, knights and these landless nobles, no matter how poor they were, had to own a manor written in official documents.

The laws of the North have continued to grow wildly until now. The checks and balances between the royal family and the nobility naturally make life a little better for ordinary people caught in the cracks.

Speaking of which, common people will be affected by the various high-level clashes. Even a person like Pat, who was born into a minor noble family, will suffer misery. The Northern Kingdom is already one of the happiest places for common people among the twenty or so countries in the world.

In the research report of Scroll Mountain a few years ago, excluding the nobles, the Northern Kingdom, where the average life expectancy is 50 years old, is simply a standout among chickens.

The remaining two relatively good countries are the Kingdom of Brunoth, where the main temple of the Church of Dark Night is located, and the Kingdom of Cologne, where the main temple of the Church of Earth is located. They are also over 40 years old.

You know, this number also includes adventurers outside the aristocratic system.

Originally, Scroll Mountain wanted to eliminate all influences and only calculate the life span of civilians, but in the end, they quickly gave up this suicidal approach.

Scholars really doubt that once this real number is released, civilians in major countries will probably do nothing and just give up, because no matter how hard they work, they can only live a few more years.

Therefore, even if it is Scroll Mountain, people generally won't easily discuss the lives of ordinary people. It is really a mine that will explode if touched, but even if it explodes, it won't have much impact.

Compared with these, they would rather explore the past and present of the Northern Kingdom.

In fact, before the Kingdom of the North, the major kingdoms were named after the king's surname.

Probably in the early days, when there was no concept of a kingdom, people referred to settlements using their leaders as symbols, such as "so-and-so's tribe", so after they became countries, they naturally used the leader's name as the country's name.

But the first King of the North was a very rebellious man.

Everyone knew that he must not come from an ordinary family.

Otherwise, even with the favor of the Lord of Storms, even if he himself was extremely powerful, there would not be so many professionals who would abandon their homes and careers to follow him.

But he just refused to mention the family he came from.

Scholars have speculated about his origins, but judging from the fact that the first king clearly had such a deep grudge against his family, yet was able to start a business with so many subordinates and so many resources, it must be that his family had done something wrong to him.

Well, this is definitely not a trivial matter.

The God of Knowledge was already a powerful god at that time, and scholars could know everything in the world even if they sat in the Scroll Mountain.

But even if we push the time back to before the birth of the first King of the North, we cannot find which big family was in chaos.

Even when the search was expanded to include the earldom, no family was found that could be related to the first king.

It’s not that the infighting among the nobles was less frequent during those years.

Rather, the results of the internal strife were completely inconsistent with the image presented by the first king.

Back then, so many eyes were watching the founding ceremony of the first king!
Just waiting for him to give his full name.

As a result, they came directly to the Northern Kingdom and completely severed ties with the original family.

Although no one knew who that unfortunate family was, even after all these years, Lowry could be sure after hearing these stories that if that family was still able to survive, they must have been extremely open-minded.

Otherwise, I would have been depressed to death.

After all, in the thousand years after the first king founded the country, there were countless curious people who wanted to find out who this family was.

Not only did he have to suppress the bursting emotions in his heart, but he had to show to the outside world that he was equally curious. He also had to pay attention to controlling those people in the family who knew about these things but were not smart enough... What kind of person would be able to survive that time!
Anyway, it was him... and then, nothing happened.

Lowry suddenly realized that if it were him, he seemed to be able to completely ignore those things.

After all, those who leave me must not be kept, which has always been his motto.

All in all, thanks to this thoughtful first king, Lowry, who disdained the ransom money, did have the most peaceful territory.

Otherwise, Chesca wouldn't be so confused about the arrangements for these two prospective scholars.

It wasn't until some time later that she realized that they just didn't want to deal with idiots.

Indeed, the Gezar Territory can eliminate incidents of harassment, but it cannot eliminate confident people who think they are heroic or beautiful.

In the eyes of scholars, such people can all be regarded as fools.

Every second wasted on idiots is a sin. Especially when some of these idiots are outsiders, it is better to avoid this trouble from the beginning rather than wasting time discussing the laws and regulations of the Gezar Territory with them.

Although there will still be some minor troubles, after all, the reason why idiots are idiots is that they cannot control their brains and their behaviors at all, but it is already good enough to reduce 80% of the troubles.

Cheska soon followed this practice and changed all the lords' shops in the territory.

In the past, she only considered whether these store clerks were eloquent and whether they had the ability to control the situation or protect themselves in the event of an emergency. She really didn't think that much.

Although she is also a woman and has a popular sister, Chesca still cannot understand these things. After all, the men and women she comes into contact with always have to behave like human beings.

So, today she was quite glad about her original decision... Letting female shop assistants to serve these Dark Night believers wandering around the commercial street was definitely the best choice.

I don’t know if it’s because the Dark Night Goddess emphasizes the presence of women, so the Dark Night believers are very sensitive in some aspects.

But what can ordinary people know?

They didn't even know what they said wrong that caused the guests to be so angry.

For example, the word "women" is always on the lips of people in the North.

Even if they get beaten up by their own women when they get home, that won't stop them from saying ugly things.

Even Chesca could remain indifferent when hearing such words. The best she could do was not to let the people around her be so rude.

But if it were a Dark Night believer, especially with Dark Moon who draws his sword faster than he speaks, then something serious would really happen.

As a result, I was only happy for a short while.

No one knows why the Dark Night Goddess, who holds the priesthood of the Moon, has such a bad relationship with the God of Earth.

However, the hatred between them has even affected each other's churches.

In the distant past, it was not uncommon for two major churches to go to war for no apparent reason.

It is only now that the miracle has been hidden that the two churches have changed their method of fighting.

However, Chesca didn't want to know at all that these two churches were facing off in their own territory.

Even so, this would earn the Gezar Territory a large sum of money and resources.

Perhaps because he was too deeply influenced by Lowry, Chesca also hated accidents and troubles.

However, the most important reason is that Lowry himself does not care how much profit the magic shop can generate.

If he didn't know that his subjects still needed various supplies, he probably wouldn't have opened these stores to the public.

They don't get along with each other, but they have to come to Gezar together.

Cheska frowned and looked back at the castle.

When Lori seals the laboratory door, the study outside will also be completely closed.

As the castle's housekeeper, Cheska would naturally receive the information transmitted to her by the castle's magic circle.

The thing that Cheska hung on his chest was similar to a pocket watch. When it was opened, one side was a small mirror that could be used to check the time, and the other side was a thumbnail display of the magic arrays in various areas of the castle, which would directly show the activation status of these magic arrays.

Only Chesca himself can open this thing.

If you try to open it violently, there will only be a huge explosion, and there is also a dimensional door that will directly suck the opener in... Opposite is the chief wizard of the court.

In order to ensure the safety of his beloved students, the great wizard really researched many methods.

Therefore, Baron Lori's castle, if we only consider the level and number of magic circles, is even stronger than those of some dukes.

Otherwise, Lowry's alchemy skills wouldn't have improved so much. It was all gained during that period of time.

After all, he is the only assistant, so Lori must ensure that when he helps, he does not affect his teacher's carving of the magic circle, remembers all the changes in the magic circle's form, and ensures that he can copy it when he has enough mental strength.

The Grand Master of the Palace could even reserve an outer area for Lowry to practice on his own, of course, under his strict surveillance.

Therefore, Cheska never listened to his lord sitting there and muttering about his low IQ, poor talent and other bullshit.

If it was really bad, it should be like her. Even the most basic magic circle was placed there for her to see, but she couldn't see any signs.

Cheska never thought that her IQ was not enough. At most, she was fooled by those old guys because she did not have enough experience. However, she would never make the same mistake again and would fight back quickly... She was already 20 years old and was full of energy and vigor!
