Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 280 The Cat in the Baron's Castle
For basic information, Lori can use the Northern Kingdom Universal Edition.

In this world, the nobles of the territory can obtain some basic information from the awakening array.

After all, since the monarchs of various countries hope to use the awakening array to monitor the every move of these nobles, they naturally have to offer benefits that will make these nobles willingly accept this inconvenience.

Many things are actually plans that both parties are aware of, and it just depends on whether each other thinks it is worthwhile.

Just like those Storm Lords, they would not fail to set up awakening arrays in their own territories just because they were wary of the Northern Royal Family.

It’s not like they don’t have the ability to block out the little tricks that come with these magic arrays.

But they will definitely control the ideas of their nobles to set up awakening arrays in their territories.

Although on the surface it seems that they do this to prevent the most talented children under their control from slipping away.

But in essence, they just don't want their subordinates to know too much, to understand too much... Most importantly, they cannot be allowed to have private contact with the king's faction.

People who can provide you with information can naturally get something from you.

As for the border territories, the minor nobles do not build awakening arrays for themselves, and basically rely on the border earls to manage these things, but it is not because of these reasons.

No matter how foolish a king is, he would not allow such a thing to happen within his own borders.

The border territories are very well-informed, and the border earl will basically open these sources of intelligence to everyone... at most they will charge a little money.

The petty nobles were unwilling to do so, mainly because they had no money and also because they were used to it.

Who makes border areas always the places where wars occur most frequently?

According to traditional rules, if the territory can no longer be defended, the most important thing is to completely destroy the awakening array.

Faced with this situation, the border earl didn't care. Besides, most foreign invasions rarely reached the earl's castle.

When that day really comes, the border earl should think about how he will die, not that little money.

But who can afford the trouble for the little nobles?

Especially when many small families have only owned their territories for a few hundred years, they would never be so wasteful.

Generally speaking, only in the king's faction in the inland area will the baronies basically have awakening magic circles.

Therefore, although the information provided by the awakening array is quite comprehensive, it is basically very simple. The introduction to the country is relatively detailed, but the introduction to the major nobles under it can only be said to be a matter of personal opinion. It depends on what you think.

If you just want to have a preliminary understanding of the outside world, these are enough.

But as Lori thought, this little information alone was not enough to understand the connection between certain places and the power of gods, and the subtle relationship between countries.

Fortunately, he had a bird.

However, before the migratory birds that flew south returned, Lowry could at most get some secret news from the northern country... Because Lowry had enough food and it was safe enough, there were many resident birds that came to spend the winter here.

Looking at Chesca who sat behind the table with a tragic look on his face, Lowry said with a sympathetic tone: "You should get used to these first, otherwise, when the returning birds come to rest here, you will probably be too busy!"

Although she felt the sinister gaze from behind the thick mountain of paper, as long as Chesca didn't refuse in person, Lori would assume that she agreed... This was not a temporary task, he had notified her several months in advance!
It was Chesca herself who didn't want Taylor to interfere.

Lowry felt that he was a really good boss, and said with a happy face: “I can’t help it, only the person I trust the most can do this job!
Chesca, next year your salary will be doubled!"

He seemed to hear Cheska's breathing suddenly become heavier.

But since the other party just happily replied "Thank you, Baron", Lowry naturally accepted the thanks happily.

Of course, he didn't go too far.

Lori took a look at his own demiplane and found some nourishing food in it, especially food that could make people feel refreshed after eating, so he decided to send one portion to Cheska every day.

Otherwise she would be exhausted from the knight training.

As for...whether Taylor will have any ulterior motives and come to him to ask for more responsibilities or something like that, it depends on what the guy chooses.

Ah!
Lori closed his half-plane passage with confidence, thinking righteously: Although he asked them to work 996, he is not the kind of vampire who only talks about giving without asking for compensation!

His compensation is better than that of the famous 996 big employers... generous overtime pay, adequate food rations, and even the best nutritional supplements!
Lowry is very confident. He is still the very good person he used to be and has definitely not been misled by the ideas of some slave traders!
-
A month later, Lowry's 3D map of the world was finally completed.

Lori stood in the middle of the study, his fingers couldn't help but move the planet model floating in the air, staring in a daze at the afterimage after the high-speed rotation.

Perhaps, inhabited planets always have similarities.

However, the continent of this world was not torn apart like his original world.

But it is just a solid whole piece.

Lori suddenly understood why the Church of Earth had made him into that state, and why the Lord of Earth could still let them do whatever they wanted without caring about anything.

Most humans have probably never seen the horror of the ocean, so they only bow down to the vastness of the earth. Only countries along the coast understand the horror of the ocean, but, probably because of the special shape of this world, the two poles of the planet occupy one-fifth of the ocean.

There are endless expanses of white icebergs, and the starry sky is too far away. The continental plates are stable enough, so naturally there are not various large and small, undulating islands.

Even small islands formed by occasional eruptions of submarine volcanoes will slowly be submerged or even flattened over time.

The most terrifying thing on the ocean is the endless storm.

People living by the sea are more afraid of hurricanes coming from the ocean than the ocean itself is ruthless.

Therefore, the Lord of Storms is actually an alternative Lord of the Ocean.

Just think about it, the marine life in this world basically lives in the deep sea.

At most, there are some ordinary shallow fish near the coast.

Lori used to think that he couldn’t eat sea fish because of transportation problems... Although there were storage tools, who would really use that thing to store fish?

Are pearls hard to sell?
Well, transportation is indeed the main problem, but the gap in cost-effectiveness is definitely far beyond what Lowry had ever imagined.

This world, because of its special terrain, has created a huge distance between humans and the ocean.

Lori just couldn't figure out whether there had never been a God of the Sea from the beginning, or... in that special period, this natural god who rarely appeared in front of humans died silently.

Or maybe, he is still there, but no one knows it.

But, if it is the last case, what will this god look like?

In all these years, no god has ever mentioned it.

Lori stared at the planet model with a puzzled frown, and fiddled with it a few times with his fingers again.

"Baron..." Chesca, who was standing behind him and watching the thing take shape, said indifferently, "Are you playing?"

Lori's hand stopped in mid-air, and his fingers couldn't help but scratch the air a few times.

"Baron, when I walked out of my bedroom in the early morning light, I happened to see Millie playing ball in the garden."

Millie is one of the castle's larger cats.

Although the magic circle set up by Lori can basically ensure that small creatures such as rats, insects and ants will not enter the castle area, the servants still need a little psychological comfort.

Besides, there is no aristocratic castle without cats and dogs.

As for the pack of dogs, the servants might just blend into the vassal wolf packs brought by the Wind Wolf without paying attention.

However, they usually roam free in the gardens and orchards, and only occasionally go to the small garden to improve their meals.

After all, even though Lowry threw the mouse out of his castle, the rabbit really couldn't do anything about it, so the dozen or so hounds still had a pretty good meal.

But I don’t know if it’s because dogs are born to live in groups. Even though life in the castle is perfect, they still choose to join a wolf pack of similar size to them.

Of course, as responsible working dogs, they will still make two rounds of the castle's fixed patrol area every day, and clean up any rabbits that dare to show up.

Dogs and cats in the north have long hair, are relatively large in size, and are sturdy enough to look a bit heavy.

Especially the cats, which are two sizes larger than Siberian cats.

But they are actually quite flexible and have strong lethality.

But in Lowry Castle, the most attractive thing for cats are the birds that live everywhere.

So, in order to avoid further wars... even if the big cats are willing to cooperate with each other, they can't deal with hundreds of birds... There are big and small fur balls everywhere in the castle for these beautiful big cats to vent their energy.

Well, of course, at this point, no cat would be stupid enough to want to kill a bird.

They originally preferred the food provided in the castle, but their killing instinct was hard to control.

But that doesn't mean they are brainless.

Therefore, these big cats preferred to go out in the orchard in the middle of the night to dig rabbit holes, catch the rabbits and bite them to death one by one, and then bring them back to the castle to show the maids who fed them.

Then, after showing that I still have fighting spirit, I will play ball or something in some spacious place for a while... After completing a day's work, I have to stretch my body.

Cats love nothing more than flapping their fur balls hanging in the air in front of the early birds.

Moreover, you must make sure that your sharp claws reflect a cold light under the sun.
