Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 481: Treasures of the Prairie Country

The reason why Ezra was so easily named the new Earl of Hamilton was because as a member of the royal family, he already had a basic court marquisate.

The status of Marquis of the Manor and Marquis of the Palace is barely enough.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is accepting the royal title, so he can naturally follow the rules.

Otherwise, it would be a position that only a duke could get.

In fact, the time when Leon became the Earl of the North was the real thing, it was against the rules and outrageous.

But this was the decision made by the original Count of Montes himself, and no one could say anything about it.

After being betrayed by his descendants and subordinates, and after being plotted against by several great nobles, Count Montes was unwilling to give any chance to those he did not trust. This was an understandable backhand.

His Majesty Travis also has the ability to protect the huge benefits he has offered.

Of course, if Lowry had expressed dissatisfaction at the time, it would not have been impossible to snatch it from him.

The nobles, whether they are northern nobles or storm nobles, will definitely stand on Lori's side in this matter.

Even though Travis was very powerful, limiting royal power was still ingrained in the great nobles' DNA.

No matter how difficult it is, they will try their best.

It's not that the noble firm is completely useless, they just don't need to fight with His Majesty the King over trivial matters.

But there are definitely some killer tricks left.

It was just that Lowry really had no interest in these things, which allowed the matter to proceed smoothly.

Before that, Travis' attitude towards Lowry was not so good, even though he found a way to send Alsalan as a teacher to Lowry.

As long as Lowry has a little ambition, he will not give up this opportunity.

In the North, the status of a border earl is absolutely comparable to that of a duke, not to mention that he is in the most critical and promising northern border.

Although Travis is full of bad intentions, he still has some respect for people who really just want to live their own lives and have the ability to guarantee their own ideas.

Therefore, even if he hopes Lowry can help him, he will not force him if the other party is unwilling.

Travis sighed: "For Ezra, the position of deputy commander is more attractive than Earl Hamilton!"

Arsalan understood: "Who is it?"

Obviously, one of the two deputy commanders might step down.

For Ezra, who was determined to spend the rest of his life in the King's Army, this was indeed something that was worth shaking him up.

Even though he had already negotiated terms with Travis.

"Did he go to observe Leon to give himself a reason to give up?" Arsalan couldn't help but ask, as he knew Ezra better.

After all, although the royal family is numerous and powerful, there are only a few who are truly promising.

Although the royal family has many level 16 guardians, many of them were forcibly promoted because they were tied to the awakening array.

This level 16 person can only guard the palace for his whole life. Although his status is very high, it still cannot be compared with those who have cultivated themselves.

But even in the royal family, it is rare to have such a few people.

In other words, the royal family is already very remarkable because there are such people in every generation.

This may be related to the fact that almost all of them are married to respectable nobles.

Although having both parents be well-endowed does not mean that all of their children will be good, it does mean that they have more choices than other people.

But children who have this kind of talent and enough opportunities to make it to the end are really rare.

Therefore, although the royal family did not do well in many aspects, they would definitely give such a child the most fair result.

This also leads to people like Ezra preferring to stick to their own path... People who have everything they need and a guaranteed future, but can still work hard wholeheartedly, will always be more pure in their persistence in their dreams.

If Ezra hadn't known that the Ice Country was not stable and that becoming the Lord of the North might also involve participating in the war, he would probably have rushed into the palace to reject Travis when he knew that the position of deputy commander might be vacant.

There was no way he would go and see if Leon was the kind of trouble maker who would set up all kinds of ambushes for him.

As for who it was, it was actually useless for Arsalan to ask... Two of the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander-in-chief were loyal believers of Travis, so it was impossible for them to cause such an unexpected incident.

Travis sneered: “The point is, he doesn’t even know if this is true or not, but he’s already tempted!”

Arsalan was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

Travis couldn't help but sigh.

Ezra was moved, wasn’t he also moved?

Although Ezra is a stubborn guy and cannot be considered Travis's man, he has always adhered to the royal rules and will definitely respect the king's opinions and put the interests of the royal family first.

If Ezra could really get the position of deputy commander, wouldn't it mean that the army would be completely in Travis' hands?
Although in the past the King's Army basically only listened to him.

But isn't there still a subtle difference between basic and complete? Travis, who already needs some loyal believers, of course wants to have as much confidence as possible.

He knew the news earlier than Ezra!
It's just that Travis was more rational, and he felt that something was wrong from the beginning.

The Noble Office had been half ruined by his destruction.

What those great nobles can firmly grasp is the position of deputy commander-in-chief of the king's army, which will last at least 50 years.

However, from Ezra's state, it can be seen that these great knights who can reach the top of the King's Army are very persistent and stable in their character and actions.

They are not beings that can be easily exploited by outsiders.

If that guy was really that easily swayed, how could Ezra...

"Does Ezra really not understand?" Arsalan voiced Travis' inner thoughts.

"That's what I'm worried about." Travis took a deep breath, "Whether they really have this intention or not, Ezra will probably try to make it come true.

Word gets out that Erwin Cortez always... did something."

No wonder Travis suddenly came over and said this to him.

Arsalan suddenly understood.

If Ezra really wanted to use this incident to counterattack Erwin Cortez, he would have to find someone to cooperate with him.

Arsalan, the court wizard, is the most suitable.

But doing so would actually be disadvantageous to Leon.

If you want to make this happen, you must use this prince.

If Leon was really pushed to the brink of death... or even died, then Erwin Cortes would certainly be angered by His Majesty Travis.

The White Dragon King simply chose to respect those rules, but that doesn't mean he is incapable of overturning those rules.

There was no way anyone in the King's Army would side with Erwin Cortez in the face of Travis's wrath.

Arsalan shook his head: “I will not support Ezra.

Between his so-called dream and Leon's life safety, I will only choose Leon."

Travis smiled and nodded: "I knew that Arsalan was a person who respected life."

"But I don't respect you!" the court wizard said coldly, "Can't you be more direct?"

"That's so disrespectful to you, Arsalan." Travis said the most ridiculous words in the most sincere tone, "What if you have other thoughts?

I can’t force you.”

"You really should eat more snacks like Ruth Kania." Arsalan didn't want to look at him, so he turned his back to him. "I still have to monitor the planetary array. If everything is fine, you can leave, Your Majesty."

"I have something to do!" Travis said with a melancholy look on his face. "Do you have any opinion on South Auchinson and South Costa, who have nothing to do with this but have to get involved?"

"If you send Sepefia and the things you brought back from the Sepefia territory over there, those two families will definitely calm down." Arsalan said without turning his head.

South Okinson must be heading for Sebephia.

As a remnant of the royal family of the former grassland kingdom, Sebefia may have the greatest secret of Okinson, the map of the hidden veins of the large crystal mine.

Moreover, even if everyone had storage tools, it was impossible for the treasury of the grassland country, which was once famous for its wealth, to be taken away by the refugees like Sepefia.

Although it was said that it was blown up along with the royal palace, there have always been rumors about related treasures.

After all, the royal family of the grassland country would not blow up their own house on a whim, so it is natural to hide some treasures that cannot be taken away.

The South Auchinson royal family has always claimed that they are the legitimate heirs to the Prairie Kingdom, and of course they are unwilling to give up this rumored treasure.

As for South Costa... as a country that has been monitoring the movements of Okinson and is likely to be under the influence of the Church of Wealth, it is normal for it to follow suit.

Travis, whose pain point was touched, scratched his head helplessly... As for the treasure, of course it belongs to those with virtue!

A king like him who is kind and has bottom lines, fair and well-educated, rule-abiding and tolerant is naturally a truly virtuous person.

Asking him to give up a treasure that is richer than all his private vaults combined...that's just a dream!
Travis looked at Arsalan who was concentrating on the magic circle. "Okinson almost had the people of the Church of the Earth dig several hundred meters below the surface. The abandoned mines have actually been dug out and inspected over the years... Arsalan, do you think the treasure could be in another dimension?"

"How should I know?" Arsalan laughed, and then his expression suddenly turned cold.

He finally understood why his students who were the court mages suddenly defected to other people.

In the royal family of the North, as long as Arsalan is still on earth, no one can bypass him to check certain special objects and...treasure maps.

Travis would definitely only look for him.

He couldn't help but clench his fists, and was about to blurt out something, but he immediately suppressed it.
