Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 374 Lowry's Secret Attack
Charles shook his head. "Our lord certainly won't do anything in a big way, but... he can still make people itch all over for decades."

Valera stared at him and said, "What a stupid brother you really are!"

Charles looked at his sister in confusion.

"Our baron will not make a mortal enemy with others just because of something that only harasses him or makes him unhappy." Valera smiled calmly, "But it does not mean that he will only take some small revenge that makes people uncomfortable.

He really didn't care, and thought it was a tolerable offense, and the Baron actually didn't care at all.

If he couldn't fight back at that time, he would have forgotten about it afterwards.

However, if there is something that bothers him, then his methods that can make people itch for decades are all for the purpose of achieving success overnight.

Even if the person is not seriously injured or dying, he will at least suffer broken bones.

Do you still remember Dorisk, who was not very happy with Baron Lori because of trivial matters and always caused him some troubles, right? "

Charles was stunned for a moment: "But isn't it because he has been taken advantage of many times that he..."

“I can guarantee that the Baron knew from the beginning that Dorisk was not implicated only by his new wife.

But he said nothing, and even added fuel to the fire of Dorisk's ignorance." Valera laughed, "However, after the incident broke out, looking back, it can be seen that Dorisk was also influenced to choose that lady among several candidates.

The testimonies he gave on behalf of his wife, and even the cover-up remarks that dragged the Minister of Finance into the matter, were all manifestations of his concealing the truth from His Majesty the King for his own benefit!

If this matter were exposed at that time, the real reason why Dorisk was abandoned by His Majesty the King would be lost!

Logically speaking, the safety of the palace officials is not only their own responsibility, but the hidden defenders in the palace are also responsible.

Naturally, they are also responsible for allowing those who live in the palace to be controlled by others.

Therefore, as long as there is no problem with Dorisk himself, even if he is just easily let down due to old age, His Majesty the King will not be really dissatisfied.

Even if they wanted him to retire, it wouldn't be so sudden that he would retire before even completing the handover work.

Just like the last time he was influenced by outsiders because of his selfish thoughts... The court spy who did not discover any problems with the people around him certainly also has a great deal of responsibility.

The reason why the White Dragon King never had any problems was because he himself was strong enough.

But what about the previous Majesties?
Would it be good if they had an officer around them who was secretly controlled?

The palace guardian was naturally at fault.

The reason why our baron's teacher changed his past habits, stayed closely beside the White Dragon King, and never mentioned the issue of going out again was, of course, because as the chief wizard of the court, he had to compensate for the guardian's mistakes.

Unless he was sure that their subsequent defensive measures were no longer problematic, there was no way he would leave again.

There was only one real reason why Dolisk was abandoned: between an outsider and the White Dragon King, he chose an outsider.

It is understandable to do something for one's own benefit. His Majesty the King is not a god. He will not ask his subordinates to live like devout believers and sacrifice everything for his insignificant benefits.

Indeed, everyone wants such subordinates, but is it just a dream?

Our four loyalty to the Baron is unquestionable, but... that's because after one incident after another, our interests have become inseparable from the Baron's!
If the Baron hadn't been so kind to us, we wouldn't have...

There is no such thing as loyalty without reason.

Even so, when we do things, must we always do so without affecting our own interests?
Even if there is something that is definitely in the Baron's interest, who would do it if it requires us to be torn to pieces?!

Of course, now we are definitely willing to risk our lives for the Baron's safety... but that is safety, not profit.

For a truly wise superior, we are the most suitable and best subordinates.

Apart from the evil gods, who would want his subordinates to obey his orders and be willing to sacrifice their lives for him?

What you die for is different.”

Charles said thoughtfully: "We will consider how to maximize the benefits for the lord without harming our own interests.

But I will never harm the lord because of others."

He raised his head and glanced at Valera: "Even if it's between us siblings, if one of us did it...it would be the same."

Valera nodded calmly: “Of course.

We brothers and sisters have had a good relationship since we were young because we have the same interests and positions.

But isn’t it the same between us? Some have deep feelings, some have shallow ones!

If someone is willing to sacrifice other people’s interests and hurt other people’s positions for their own sake, then what else can we say? "

Charles smiled helplessly.

Although Sister Valera always speaks harshly, she actually has the softest heart among her siblings.

If they really had thoughts that shouldn't appear, Valeera would definitely take the initiative to pull them back on the right track.

If it can't be brought back, there's certainly no need to save it.

After all, those who do this actually abandon not only their loyalty to the lord, but also the brotherhood between them. However, by comparing themselves, Charles understood.

If something like what happened to Dorisk happened to them, they would definitely take the initiative to investigate the relevant parties thoroughly and repeatedly trace back to why they chose such a partner in the first place.

Even if they cannot find out the cause, they will send the partner to a safe enough place for temporary isolation for a period of time.

At least we have to prove that this person has never exerted any influence on him.

Doing this is actually a responsible behavior towards your partner.

Doubts and such...bad luck, sometimes you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

But if they can prove their innocence, there won’t be any problems in the future.

Just like Dolisk.

If he had made adequate arrangements for his young wife after that incident, his excessive selfishness would not have been exposed in the subsequent incident.

Although it could be said that he did not think of it at the time...but if the Chief Affairs Officer had completely forgotten his origins, he really had no right to continue to stay with His Majesty Travis.

Even those former companions who had always supported Dorisk, such as the Minister of Finance, could not save him.

Unless he dares to publicly say that Dolisk's behavior is nothing... but even their own brothers and sisters would not do that! What can old friends do?

Charles tilted his head and pondered for a while: "Our lord can really think so far... He is usually so..."

"The Baron's personality is a bit peculiar." Valera thought for a moment before answering him, "If something happens suddenly and a decision must be made immediately, he tends to act recklessly, the kind that kills directly.

But if he had some time to think it over, he could come up with a more sinister idea.

I didn’t quite understand it before, but now I understand it a little bit.

The Baron should have gained inspiration from inherited memories.

The dragon's life is so long that it has seen countless strange things. There must be precedents that he can just follow.

So, when Chesca and I report bad news, we try to add as much gossip as possible.

Give the Baron enough time to think, and he'll be able to do something clever."

Charles frowned slightly: "Sister Valera, then, the matter of the Church of the Earth... the lord does not intend to just spread it and regard that person as an enemy, right?"

"What did you find?" Valeera asked with interest.

“When I returned to the castle two days ago, I saw a map of all the planting bases of the Church of the Earth in the Baron’s study.

It is a phantom magnified by a crystal ball.

This kind of magic equipment is not easy to make, and the materials consumed are relatively expensive.

Baron, you should want to... do something."

"Ah~ As expected, the Baron is very angry about what happened to you." Valera couldn't help but laugh. "It's really not like our Baron's character to just let Alex be on guard against him as a little revenge."

Charles nodded slightly.

In fact, he was already very satisfied with the result.

To put it bluntly, he was just a mid-level swordsman and a figure in a barony. There was no way he could be put on the same level as the high priest of the Church of the Earth who had an important responsibility.

A normal lord would not be as unscrupulous as Baron Lori to publicize the shameless behavior of a powerful man like the Archbishop of the Earth just because of one of his subordinates.

Any lord who can get some compensation for his subordinates is a good lord.

Although Baron Lori dared to do this because he had certain support...but who would put himself in danger for his subordinates?

It's impossible for Baron Lowry to stay at home all his life!

His behavior offended not only the high priest of the Ice Country, but also all the archbishops of the Church of the Earth who had committed similar acts.

Even the Lord of the Earth...

But according to what Sister Valeira said, Charles also thought of some clues... In addition to the map, the lord seemed to have been constantly looking for opportunities to trade with caravans from other countries during this period.

He even bought horses from several grassland countries at high prices.

The Wind Wolf Caravan was sent out by Lowry several times.

Charles actually had feelings, but he really didn't expect that it was because of him.

"Our baron is actually very protective of his people." Valeera walked up to Charles and patted his shoulder. "So, don't worry about those meaningless troubles."

Charles was slightly stunned.

"Princess Rosalind's side... I always feel that the Baron is planning to play a big game."
