Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 259 Why aren’t you angry?
The mages do not manage these mines personally, but basically cooperate with the royal family.

This can be considered a win-win situation. After all, you can get a lot of magic gems and directly exchange them with the royal family for the ones you want.

Mages like Lori, who choose to inherit their own secular domain and build it up carefully, are extremely rare.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have any educated people who can be used.

That’s why so many prospective scholars chose to stay in Lowry’s territory at the beginning.

However, it was completely different from what they thought.

Although Lori Montez is as rich as the legend, he is also as arrogant and eccentric as the legend.

To him, there is no difference between a quasi-scholar and any other professional.

Although they were provided with a good living environment and generous salaries,...what the knights got was not much less than them.

People who think highly of themselves always feel that they should be different from others.

Whether he can find ways in which he is better than others or not, he will also want you to think that he is better than anyone else.

Therefore, the fact that they were treated the same as the knights galloping on horses was the real reason why these prospective scholars began to feel dissatisfied and wanted to leave the Lowry territory.

But they really don't have that ability.

Also, I can’t bear to spend that little bit of money.

Besides, there were about a dozen prospective scholars in the library, and only those few of them felt that Lowry wasn't treating them well enough.

Others can still see their own position clearly: those who are not even willing to pledge allegiance to the territory will inevitably leave sooner or later.

Which lord would value such a person?
Even if they have a little knowledge and understand a little about management.

Besides, Lord Lori is a mage!

Scholars can only use intelligence to make up for their lack of magical talent, but it does not mean that they are smarter than real wizards.

Lowry, indeed, never took these cunning guys seriously.

He knew very well that anyone who was blinded by these things would have no chance of becoming a true scholar.

If the 'barrier of knowledge' standing in front of the mage is as high as the sky, then what stands in front of the scholar is the ocean of the universe.

Once the maze is created, it will naturally be ruined, and outsiders won't need to put in any effort.

He never thought of forcing anyone to serve him. It was really not necessary.

If you want to leave, leave. If you want to stay, stay.

That is, if you leave, it is best to do it decisively, and if you stay, don't drag it out.

Unfortunately, there will always be people who regard his kindness as incompetence that can be exploited.

Lowry asked noncommittally, “Ruth Kania said he was poor, what’s the matter?
I remember he was very active in giving study sessions.”

The prospective scholars who took the paid courses he taught in the library could receive a large sum of money.

Lowry never cared about how they allocated the time, but he had heard a little bit about how Handel had snatched up a lot of class hours by using his fame.

"He probably thinks that the reason those people in the magic shop are able to surpass him is because they have been around magical items for many years." Chesca smiled disdainfully, "So, he bought a lot of junk?"

"What?" Lowry tilted his head, not quite understanding... There was never any junk in his magic shop.

"He didn't want those people to know his goal, so he bought things from those caravans." Cheska sneered, "You also know that the reason why those people in the magic shop can benefit from it is that all the magic items in it are basically made by you.

Even without your teachings, I can still feel some rules and magic resonance from it.

But a caravan?
What decent things could they have in their hands?

They are all defective items collected from various places."

Then she suddenly couldn’t help laughing: “The reason why Ruth Kania said he was poor was because those things were no different from garbage in her eyes.

She threw them all away, taking only some gold coins and jewellery.

I estimate that its value is about the same as the one thousand gold in the hands of the intelligence dealer.

This is because I just got paid this month!"

Lori understood this time: "Ah...Ruth Kania's trash?"

Ruth Kania is not the type to set her sights on success.

Maybe it was because she had fought with the White Dragon King for thousands of miles and suffered a lot, so she would collect anything that had some value.

Even if she doesn't keep it by her side, it doesn't stop her from putting it in her own warehouse.

Therefore, the only thing that could make Ruth Kania turn a blind eye to it is a limited-time item.

In other words, it is a piece of junk that can be used for 10 years at best, and then it will be completely destroyed.

Unlike other dragons, Luskanija can use these scraps to cheat people, so she generally doesn't collect this kind of things.

Well… this is also the result of many fights between White Dragon King Travis and her.

After all, Luscania is a knight and a respected king.

He really couldn't confuse himself with a swindler... The key point is that the people to whom Luscania sold garbage were all small nobles who could find His Majesty the King to cry and complain. Only they had neither good eyesight nor good judgment.

The White Dragon King really paid the price of his own blood and sweat to get Luskaniah to change the dragon's good habit of "selling garbage to fools".

There was no way, bribing Ruth Kania with money would not work.

Taking the money only prevents Ruth Kania from cheating this person, but it doesn't mean she won't cheat the next one.

The White Dragon King could only use his own scars in exchange for Luskaniah's reluctance.

Ruth Kania, whose allies were willing to fight to the bitter end in order to reach an agreement with her, finally chose to give in because she couldn't bear it.

When Lowry learned about this, he realized how inseparable the relationship between the two was.

Ruth Kania would really risk her life for her Travis.

Therefore, although Lori would compete with the White Dragon King from time to time, he would never make trouble for Luskanija's serious preparation for pregnancy, nor would he let Luskanija feel that he did not welcome her arrival.

This may be his friend's only chance to be a mother.

Lori sighed sadly, then turned around and asked, "Where are the others? Didn't they participate?"

"No." Chesca pursed his lips, "There are two more, they should be the type who are ready to sell the information they know, but will not go out of their way to get information.

Basically anyone can buy intelligence from them.”

Lori nodded: "Forget about this, don't worry about it."

There is nothing shameful that can be spread from him, as long as he knows his limits.

Moreover, he sometimes needs the presence of these people.

For example, he really hoped that these people would spread the news of the arrival of the Wind Wolf as soon as possible.

He was quite satisfied with the result.

Such people are indispensable in any territory, and the lords will not care too much as long as they can be used for their own benefit.

"Handel and the intelligence dealer, have you sent them out?" Lowry asked Cheska.

"Let Taylor take a team to deliver it." Cheska blinked, "Throw it out from the big cliff."

Lori looked at her curiously: "Did they offend you?"

They had to go from the big cliff, and it was Taylor, his confidant, who personally sent them there. The border troops had to give them some face and record their information in the awakening array of the Northern Kingdom.

In other words, these two people will be the Northern Kingdom’s banned visitors from now on.

Putting aside the fact that Handel's dream was to go to Scroll Mountain, the intelligence dealer who must have come from the south also had to go home, right?
But the Ice Kingdom's only neighbor is the Northland Kingdom.

No, that's not very rigorous.

It should be said that all the serious and slightly easier roads in heaven and on earth are in the Northern Kingdom.

It's not as simple as sneaking into the northern border. They have to pass through the northern territory and exit from the southern border!
How could it be possible with just the two of them?

Unless the intelligence dealer found a way to keep Handel in the Ice Kingdom, he had no hope.

Even if he is invisible.

Of course, they had another way, which was to climb the steepest and lowest mountain range above the clouds in the westernmost part of the Ice Country, and then reach a desert grassland country separated from the Northern Kingdom by a mountain range, and then make a big circle back to the south.

Well, let’s not talk about whether the closed grassland country is willing to let them pass through. Just the mountain range on top of the clouds is not something that everyone can walk on.

The temperature is basically extremely cold. Any living creature must be above level 14, and there will inevitably be a powerful white dragon, which are all extremely terrifying challenges.

Based on his understanding of Chesca, if she couldn't kill someone in one go, this girl would basically not do anything extreme.

She was actually deeply influenced by Pat. She is not as willful as Lori and is used to acting within the rules.

"Baron, do you know what information he passed on?" Cheska asked softly.

Lori blinked and tilted his head in confusion: "Wind Wolf, Ruth Kania, and the big lake I suddenly dug?"

"They seem to think that you have a foreign body fetish..." Chesca hesitated for a moment, but still said it.

"What? What the hell?" Lowry asked stutteringly, "Explain it more clearly."

"Some people seem to think that you are more interested in aliens." Cheska pursed her lips and said resolutely.

"What interests..." Lowry struggled desperately.

"Ah~*wind*!

That is to say, you are more interested in wolves, dragons, and birds than in human women!"

Ruth Kania, who had clearly returned to the Thousand-petal Lotus Hall, landed in front of Lori on a gust of wind.

She blinked at Lori cutely: "I just used Dragon Language magic, you see, it's powerful enough~"

"Now you remember it." Lowry replied calmly.

"You don't seem angry at all?" Luskanija approached him curiously, "You have always considered yourself a human being, so why aren't you angry when you hear something like this?"
