Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 401 The Value of the Maple Leaf Badge

Those codes that are almost as good as chivalrous virtues require some ability to be followed... For example, if a noble dares to withhold the adventurer's hiring fee, you have the ability to force him to hand it over.

In this regard, the adventure team still has a chance.

Those who work alone can basically only choose to retaliate afterwards.

Over time, everyone basically only regards the Adventurer's Law as a guide to making money.

Every rule broken can result in huge profits as long as it goes undetected.

However, the Lord of Qingfeng Territory, the famous mad wizard Lori, was really, really a rip-off!
The adventurers can even resonate with those noble forces... Are you sick?
When you get to a place like the Big Iceberg where there is no restraint, everyone will naturally play their own games, and it all depends on your own ability to cheat or deceive anyone!
But that mage Lori was actually deducting points according to the rules.

But he can really discover them all.

The sky, the clouds and the birds are all the eyes of this lord.

The adventurer who was deducted points at the beginning still had the courage to protest.

As a result, when they are pointed out that they have violated the rules on a certain day, at a certain time, they can only turn their faces pale and run away.

Although there are some things that adventurers all accept as true.

But there is also a common bottom line: don't get caught.

Adventurers are all talented, and no one knows whether some unlucky guy will have a gifted child.

When it comes to things like revenge, let alone having evidence, even if there is no evidence, suspicion is evidence.

Although the lord's subordinates still showed some mercy and did not make it very clear.

But as long as you know the time and combine it with the death date of some unlucky person, it can actually be guessed.

From then on, no one raised any objection to the changes in his credit points, and even tried his best not to let others know that his credit points had changed.

The maple leaf badge of Qingfeng Valley has almost become a proof of integrity for adventurers in the past two years... It is useless if you don't register for a long time. If you don't go for three months, your credit points will be sealed directly. If you don't go within the maximum living time of half a year on the Big Iceberg, your credit points will be cleared.

Of course, it is possible that some people are so strong that they do not leave the iceberg for a whole year.

But Qingfeng Valley can keep track of such people...their credit score storage period will be automatically extended.

Master Lori's eyes have never been deceived.

According to a great adventurer, if someone is hidden so perfectly that the birds cannot find him, Lord Lowry will appear in the sky on a broomstick himself.

Nothing could cover his eyes.

Fortunately, this person only wanted to make sure whether people were there and whether they were doing anything they shouldn't be doing. He didn't care about anything else.

In fact, the demand for Qingfeng Valley from the adventurers is not too high.

The magic tents they brought with them were not comparable to the low-level magic items sold in Qingfeng Valley.

But they need someone from Qingfeng Valley to save their lives.

Bolanos, the powerful male white dragon.

If the adventurer's credit score reaches 100, he can directly ignite a feather hidden in the maple leaf badge, reset all the scores to zero, and pay an extremely expensive hiring fee to ask Mr. White Dragon for help.

That was the contract given when the Maple Leaf Badge was issued, and no one could violate it.

Besides, I wouldn’t dare.

Ordinary adventurers definitely don’t have this need...it takes some time to light this thing.

Besides, it is impossible for a lone adventurer who died in a surprise attack to get a score of 100.

Even those who can always remain qualified can receive noble missions when they go out.

There are also caravans that, when they are short of manpower and need to temporarily hire adventurers, will use the score on the Qingfeng badge as a criterion for judgment.

Therefore, the caravan camp outside Qingfeng Valley is now almost formed into two tent towns.

When Lowry set them up, the fences were designed to expand outward automatically.

But he never expected that one day the tent area would expand to the riverside.

Lowry, I actually didn't intend to take care of that big iceberg.

But he soon discovered that some of the people sent by other nobles had gone a little too far.

They secretly killed adventurers, and when they killed each other they would put the blame on the adventurers... Of course, that was nothing, and had little to do with Lori.

However, those people actually tried to put the biggest blame on Lowry.

Maybe, because Lowry was too disrespectful to His Majesty Travis and had a bad relationship with the two members of the Icefield Royal Family, some people thought they were okay again.

In the eyes of these people, Lowry himself didn't want the big iceberg, so he certainly couldn't go back on his word because of these messy things.

As long as Lowry could be suppressed, the hilly area between him and his inland neighbors, the part that led directly to the iceberg, would naturally be under the control of these nobles.

They wanted to create that kind of black town in front of Lowry.

Who can live well with a black market that does all kinds of evil right outside their house?
Lowry really felt that these people underestimated him.

Not to mention that he has countless ways to solve such small matters, but... when it really comes to the point of no choice, he can swallow his pride and not be shameless for the time being.

The only good thing about this incident is that Lowry's attitude towards Travis has become a little better.

Although the king did have his own little thoughts and wanted to test some of Lowry's privacy, he was not completely unconcerned about Lowry. The riots that occurred after the iceberg became a public area must have been known to the king.

This is the most troublesome thing about people like Travis, they are neither completely good nor completely bad.

But as long as you don't have any real feelings for him, you can still get along well.

The method Lowry originally thought of was actually not as troublesome as it is now.

Why don’t we just follow the way the US and Russia play in the Middle East?

He doesn't care whether the people in the iceberg can live well.

But Lowry quickly realized that this huge iceberg thrown out by the Ice Kingdom, as well as the ice dog production base, might cause major trouble in the future.

Then he must not interfere too much.

Although Lowry has some certainty about his future, he is not interested in acting for others.

Therefore, he simply used the simplest method of coercion and inducement combining credit points and magic items to mobilize the adventurers.

In fact, Adventurer is really useful.

After all, what most of them want is just to support their family and have a bright future at most... to raise a good child and bring the whole family to a prosperous future.

The most important thing is how to return home safely after making money.

At first, they valued credit points only for their safety and occasional relaxation after working hard... After entering Qingfeng Valley, their safety was naturally guaranteed.

Many people even find a maple tree to climb and take a nap after shopping.

But later, the maple leaf badge brought them more possibilities.

Foreign caravans that come from afar generally do not easily hire adventurers from their own country.

Everyone understands the reason, and no one can guarantee that there will be no problems.

But the maple leaf badge can serve as proof.

It’s not that the holders will never make mistakes, but rather, they have control.

Knowing that when there are not many opportunities, they can control the swords in their hands and not let them come out of the sheath.

Then, in the past few years, the area outside Qingfeng Valley has become much more lively because of this.

Standing on the tall treetops of the Micron, Valera looked solemn and said, "Recently, there are more and more guests from the north."

Charles, who was leaning against a tree trunk, responded calmly: "Anyway, it didn't come from the big cliff, so it has nothing to do with us."

"What the hell is going on with Hamilton?" Valera continued to mutter.

"Sister Valera, did your mental instability just upgrade and make you confused?" Charles asked in astonishment.

Valeera gently touched her waist with one hand.

"No, no, I'm just talking casually.

You are already level 12, sister." Charles quickly gave in.

"The Baron said before that once Rosalind comes to power, she will definitely have an eye on me." Valeera put down her hand, but her eyes were fixed on a group of caravan members wearing white furs. "The ice caravans that came to us to purchase goods some time ago were all dressed very coldly, but the recent ones are very elegant!"

Charles thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, they are much richer than those people sent by the nobles."

The past five years for the Ice Kingdom have actually been neither good nor bad.

It's not good, because under the influence of the Lord of Ice, even though the Northern Kingdom provided a lot of help, the Icefield Royal Family still lost the ruling power of many areas.

Even during the worst times in the past, those local lords still nominally obeyed the Icefield Royal Family and even paid some taxes to show their respect.

But now, it has almost completely become an independent area.

However, these places did not establish independent lords. Instead, they replaced royal power with theocracy, and the original lords could not collect any taxes at all.

Even if the White Dragon King of the North came in person, there was no way to change the current situation.

Those lords voluntarily gave up their power.

The common people also donated their land and shops to the church, and lived on the three meals a day provided by the church.

Without transactions, there will naturally be no kingdom taxes.

But there are also benefits.

The Lord of Ice has always been bold and impulsive in his actions.

The same is true for his subordinates.

Although it was difficult for the Icefield Royal Family to deal with it, the reward after winning was very generous... There is no noble who is not greedy.

The only reason that would make them give up power is because the benefits they gain in return are incredibly huge.

The Lord of Ice, including his Ice Dog King, are both very good at finding mineral veins.

Especially those precious mineral veins that could only exist under thick ice, the Ice and Snow Church could find them with certainty.

As long as they can recapture a piece of territory, the Icefield Royal Family can become rich instantly... The properties of the lords they have disposed of are more than the Icefield Royal Family's annual income.

Although Alex, the Ice King, is not that strong, he would not be defeated if his opponent is the Ice Church.
