Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 257 Bolanos Wants to Settle Down
Even those who were the most loyal to Lori only swore an oath of loyalty to the lord and the territory and became clerks in his magic shop... If one day they had enough power, they could pay a price to redeem themselves.

Only those men who swear personal loyalty to Lowry will stay with him forever.

Only such people could enter his castle and do some auxiliary staff work.

It was impossible for Lowry not to understand the attitude of those scholars.

They were willing to stay in Lowry's territory, work for him, and stand up when the territory encountered difficulties, but they were not willing to become Lowry's personal staff.

In fact, Cheska has a few scholars who have just become junior apprentices to help him, but they are all local children who have walked out of the awakening magic circle in recent years and their talents are not high.

If they want to become formal scholars, they need a lot of reading and practice...Lowry's library is not free.

Those would-be scholars in the library will not impart knowledge for free.

Therefore, for these children, being able to work in the castle is their luck, at least they have a future.

Most importantly, they don't see anything wrong with pledging personal loyalty to Lowry.

The Barony of Gezar is the most perfect home in their hearts, and their life goal is to become formal scholars, graduate from Cheska, and become a formal official in the territory.

For the children of Barony Gezar, the empty barony bureaucracy is waiting for them to fill it.

The Barony of Gezar cannot remain the same forever, and it is entirely up to the four Toller siblings to manage it.

As the number of subjects increases and the strength of the territory grows, the existence of middle and low-level officials is naturally inevitable.

So, the kids are working really hard.

Chesca was also very satisfied with his assistants, and even thought that after two more years of study, some of them could be arranged to go to Qingfeng Valley to assist Valera and Charles.

However, it turned out that the prospective scholars that Lowry took over were different from these children.

They had followed a great scholar who had traveled all over the North and perhaps even to other countries. There was a flame burning in their hearts.

Most people don’t think their future is limited to this small territory.

No matter how kind and generous the lord is to others, the treatment he gives is extremely generous.

Lowry, who is also a legal professional, can actually understand the mentality of these prospective scholars.

After all, anyone who can become a scholar is basically equivalent to a college student from a prestigious university.

No matter what their graduation results are, no matter whether they can get an invitation to study for a master's degree at one of the top schools, they will not feel that they cannot even get a good job.

Then, a position offered by a barony, equivalent to a county civil servant, was nothing to them.

Lori knew it very well in his previous life. No matter how many people compete for a position in the civil service examination, you can't put a 985 university and a small county town on the same platform... If it happens once in a while, it will make the news.

People always strive for higher goals, and Lowry understands that very well.

Besides, it is normal for a decent company to have some workers hired from third parties. Although these people are fickle-minded and will run away when something happens, issues related only to money are always the simplest ones.

As a boss, he only needs to consider whether the company can make enough money.

Of course, these people can only watch the benefits in his territory that are only for his own people, but they do not have the same rights that all the people in the territory have.

However, there will always be people who are unwilling to give in.

Although it sounds shameless to want everything, it is the most common one.

Lowry was not surprised that among the would-be scholars in these libraries there were one or two who were resentful.

Smart people tend to get stuck in a rut, only seeing what they don’t have, not what they haven’t done.

But Lowry himself has a clear conscience.

To be honest, in this fantasy world, he is the only lord who truly runs his territory like a company and treats his subordinates as serious people.

Those who are still not satisfied...

Since Lowry thinks he is the boss of the company, he naturally doesn't think it's a big deal if the low-level employees want to resign.

Even if he hooked up with someone outside and wanted to sell the secrets of his current company to make some money for his travel expenses, Lowry would not be angry.

What's there to be angry about?

It’s not like a CEO like Chesca who got shares suddenly fell ill, nor is it that several senior executives of Valera who also have shares were suddenly dragged into the water... Even if they observe carefully, the grassroots employees can only see some superficial phenomena.

Even if it is a scandal, it is a solvable scandal.

After all, how much real privacy can you expect from people who don’t even know the middle-level cadres?

The information that those people in the library knew was something Lowry didn't care about.

"Lori..." Bolanios, who had been flying behind him, suddenly spoke up, interrupting his thoughts, "The lurker this time is not from the Church of Darkness, right?" "Huh?" Lori tilted his head, not quite understanding why he asked that, "Probably not, probably a professional adventurer who buys and sells intelligence.

The strength should be good.

Furthermore, I can also talk to those who were originally taught by adventurers."

Students taught by a smart person like Yuri will not be too stupid even if they make mistakes.

People without certain skills don't have the ability to pry open their mouths, or even make them cooperate.

Lori estimated that there was a high probability that the intelligence dealer would promise to arrange a safe route to take him to Scroll Mountain even if he was discovered.

After all, it won’t be too much of a loss, so those prospective scholars will be interested.

Otherwise, they would definitely have to become three-ring scholars before they dare to travel independently.

Before the second ring, the scholar profession can only add some weak buffs to people and determine the nearby environment and the identity of the enemy.

For caravans travelling long distances, the little information that scholars have discovered through magic is not as rich as their experience!
Therefore, scholars before level 5 can basically only pay money to buy a seat in the caravan, and they may not be accepted.

But after reaching the third ring, the scholar possesses his first healing magic, as well as auxiliary magic that can help people restore their physical strength.

This is quite important for the caravan.

As for the prospective scholars here at Lowry, it is not a lie to say that they can be promoted to scholars at any time, but this "any time" is something that even they themselves do not know.

If any of them could really be promoted to scholar within a few years, given Yuri's cleverness, it would be impossible for him to leave it to Lori.

As for the ones in Lori's magic shop, I guess they will be there soon.

But that's not because they are more talented than their companions in the library, nor is it because they work harder than those people... Those who can become scholar apprentices have an unquestionable passion for knowledge. These children can recite every book in Lowry's library by heart.

But being around magical items all year round and being able to examine Lori's alchemical items at any time has greatly improved the magical knowledge attributes of these children in the magic shop.

This is not a benefit that can be obtained by those who can only rely on the introduction in the book and imagine it out of thin air.

If we say that at the beginning these children were all standing at the same starting line, and even their talents and diligence were similar, after a few years, there were already huge differences between them.

It's normal for some people to get so anxious that they make stupid decisions.

Bolanos had much more life experience than Lowry. He flapped his wings excitedly and said, "Then, Ruth Kania probably won't get many good things, right?"

"There should be some gold." Lori thought for a moment before answering, "These guys who have been doing evil things for years will basically take their own ransom money with them when they go out."

Although it is assumed that intelligence personnel will only suffer physical pain and not life-threatening consequences, that is still based on a premise.

To clean up, you also need something to clean up.

If you are crazy and think that your trip is dangerous, you might as well not bring a penny with you... then you will be in real danger.

Everyone makes mistakes!

Then isn't it more normal for a dragon to lose its claws?

There are two white dragons in Lori's territory, and they even participated in the fight against the Dark Night Agents, so why would the intelligence dealer have some pure gold on him?

"That's fine. No, it's great." Bolanios nodded with satisfaction. "It won't make Luscania angry because of disappointment, nor will it make her want to continue to make trouble."

There was a hint of resentment in the voice of the future father: "Lori, think of a way to let Ruth Cania stay in the nest longer, okay?"

"Ah?" Lori asked in confusion, "Didn't Ruth Kania say that what she needs now is to move more, so that when she gives birth..."

"Lori... there is no such thing as a dragon lacking physical strength if it doesn't move!" Bolanios interrupted him bluntly, "Can you please stop comparing human women with Ruth Kania?
Even if a dragon sleeps for 500 years, it will only be stronger when it wakes up, not weak and frail and unable to walk!"

He complained: "I knew that if Ruth Kania tried to fool you in this regard, she would succeed.

For the sake of our future companionship for at least sixty years, please help me."

"Have you decided to stay here with me until the children's dragon hatchling period is over?" Lori was surprised. "The children are actually very safe here with me. It's okay even if there's a fight next door."

"If I've been comfortable here for the past 60 years, I'd like to move here permanently!" Bolaños said frankly, "White Dragon Valley is not a place for a serious dragon like me to stay.

The White Dragon King really wanted to build a Tiamat Temple in a more remote place in the valley.

If I stayed there, I would definitely be asking for trouble.

But if I leave... In this situation, living alone is not a good thing, and I am likely to be cheated."

If that's the case, then Lowry won't say anything.

He had a pretty good impression of Bolanos and didn't mind having a new neighbor.
