Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 540 Who do you think helped him?

Bowen's fat round face wrinkled up. "I never left!"

He has been in this dark room for three days!

The documents on the desk were still piled higher than he was.

Bowen, who was hiding in the pile of documents, even cast a silent magic circle on himself... and the Hamiltons, who had long been accustomed to his presence, didn't notice that there were other people in the room.

Countess Hamilton hesitated, looked at her shameless husband, and asked in a low voice: "What work did you arrange for Bowen to keep him busy until now?"

"Detailed information about the nobles of the North." Bowen replied lifelessly, "That one was sent by Count Fabrice. It is a treasure of the Montes family."

"That box of gifts, are they all this?" Countess Hamilton finally remembered that Count Montes sent a great knight to give Ezra an inauguration gift.

"Yes..." Bowen answered in a long voice.

"Didn't you say that the gift from Montes was the most valuable, better than the one from Qingfeng..." Countess Hamilton said with a strange expression, "So, it should be left to Almes?
You're just leaving this for your son?

What is it about Qingfeng that makes you think Pearl is more suitable? "

"Illusion cards." Bowen once again responded before Ezra could. "Three sets of illusion cards and a space necklace with added mental resistance and spell resistance."

Mrs. Hamilton shook her head helplessly and laughed.

Bowen was really angry this time, otherwise he wouldn't have interrupted Ezra like that.

However, she still looked at her husband seriously and said, “You can give the necklace to Pearl, but not the illusion card.

You can't just ignore everything else because the card looks good.

This is not good for Pearl.

What if she can't control her thoughts and keeps wanting to see the random visions in there?"

Ezra was stunned for a moment before he immediately responded: “I know.

But I've already told Pearl, so why not at least give her one?"

"Baron Lowry likes to study flowers and plants. His illusion cards must include this aspect." Countess Hamilton raised her chin. "It can only be given to Pearl."

Illusion cards with silver moon or ice and snow are of course more powerful, but Pearl's mental strength is simply not enough to support them.

Ezra was not happy, but he also understood that his wife knew their daughter better.

He used to stay in the military camp for many years. Even though he cared for and loved his children, he still couldn't understand the more detailed details. He could only know roughly what they liked and hated.

The only thing we can do is to give the children more gifts.

However, sometimes, he would give Almes some "sweet burdens", because he was the heir, and he had awakened his natural talent and could live longer!
There's no harm in learning more.

He turned to look at Bowen: "What did you find out? Bowen."

Sometimes Bowen really suspected that the reason why Countess Hamilton was blaming her husband was to dispel his dissatisfaction.

Just like now, he was obviously still full of resentment, but suddenly he had no chance to vent it.

However, his strong professionalism still made him answer dutifully: "Baron Watson's family was not as strong as the Bal family before!
This is the baron family that Masood, the second son of the Montes family, married into.

Moreover, Baron Watson's father died in the Northern War, and he was only 15 years old when he succeeded to the throne.

Because I didn’t have much money, I was almost cheated by the noble firm, but fortunately Count Montes helped me in time.”

Countess Hamilton raised her eyebrows: "Guardianship Act for Minor Nobles? Watson family, who is so cruel?
Isn't it said that most of their family members are low- and middle-level members of the King's Army?"

"That's all later." Bowen laughed, "It's understandable that the winner would embellish his past a little.

People who are in the know and know what's going on won't say much, it's not a big deal.

Anyway, only outsiders like us are deceived."

He shook his head. "In short, the former Count Montes not only helped him pay the 'tribute' for the title, but also sent him to the King's Army."

Ezra’s eyes moved slightly: “Yes, he also lost his father in that war.

And he just left the Kings, so he has the ability to ask his former colleagues to take care of Watson."

The fact that the North has been able to come under royal control so peacefully and smoothly as it is now is also related to the wars of those years.

The local nobles in the border army suffered heavy casualties, and many officers, especially high-ranking ones, were transferred directly from the king's personal army.

But the North couldn't say anything. At that time, many people were killed in the first wave of reinforcements before they could stand firm.

The reason why no one felt anything after everything was over was because Count Montes, who became the Lord of the North, could control those officers in the border army who belonged to the king's forces.

Even if his ability is slightly inferior, his status, longer military service experience and relationship with the king can still gain the respect of the soldiers.

The reason why Count Montes treated his children in that way later on and tried his best to highlight his eldest son who had no outstanding qualities at all was actually related to these things.

Which great knight would be willing to obey the orders of a commander who is not even at level 10?

He is not from the territory, so naturally he has to obey him.

However, it seems that Count Montes was already very smart at that time. Ezra believed that he might have helped Baron Watson inherit the title out of empathy, but sending Watson into the army was definitely not.

At that time, although the national war was almost coming to an end, the North was still in turmoil.

It is not so easy for the territories that have just been incorporated into the country to surrender.

But the danger level is not that high.

As long as Baron Watson works hard enough, he will definitely be able to gain a place in the border army.

And he did.

"Did Count Montes help him again afterwards?" Countess Hamilton asked thoughtfully.

"No." Bowen shook his head while holding a document, "Baron Watson was only the best performer among those he sent into the army, not the only one.

Count Montes was also in a very difficult situation at that time.

He is also very poor.

Of course, the little money he got from helping Baron Watson inherit the title was nothing to him. After all, he didn’t lack money at all.”

Old Montes lost all his family fortune in one war.

If the nobles of the territory want to live a good life, money is not the only thing they need.

What Count Montes inherited was a full treasury and an empty warehouse of energy crystals.

Indeed, he can use gold coins to buy crystals.

However, during the war phase, the prices of energy crystals, including some attribute gems, skyrocketed.

If it was the most intense stage of the war, Count Montes would just grit his teeth and accept it.

But the war is about to end, and he still has to spend that big buck... Tsk~
If it were Ezra, he wouldn't be able to accept it either.

No wonder Count Montes finally accepted the marriage proposal from the inland nobles.

Generally, in this kind of marriage, the wife's dowry will be divided into two parts.

Some of the gold, silver, jewelry, clothes and rare items were for my daughter to use as a support.

But if it is a large amount of gold coins or energy crystals, they are basically given as trading items to the man.

As for the "gifts" that the man sends to the woman, although some of them are precious jewelry and clothes for the bride, there will also be some treasures with special meaning to the other party's family.

Usually, it is the most important specialty of the man’s family to prove their sincerity in the alliance… For example, the Montes family gave the woman the right of commercial passage across the border.

For the inland nobles, this means they have obtained an endless source of life... Money is life~
Therefore, in such a marriage, what kind of dowry the woman brings will basically depend on what the man needs.

A grand wedding is actually an alliance ceremony.

"At this time, he still has the mind to dilute the border troops. It's really amazing." Countess Hamilton said sarcastically, "It turns out that this is the ability I lack!"

Ezra and Bowen looked at her together...or what?
Someone who only knows how to command his own knights to fight can at most become the commander of the vanguard in the army!

That is the position that can be taken on as long as you dare to fight and charge.

After that, you must have a certain foresight. You can't wait until the enemy arrives and you don't know how they are coming.

Although Ezra is a little lacking in this regard, he has Bowen and enough analytical ability to accept or reject Bowen's opinions.

How could an ordinary noble, even a great noble, be accompanied by a talented scholar since childhood?

Bowen is only inferior to Yuri, but he is much better than those scholars outside the palace.

But it’s not incomprehensible.

Ezra is only a collateral branch, and no matter how bad the environment Leon is in, he is still the grandson of His Majesty the King.

When royal officials arrange followers, they only consider bloodline and talent, regardless of whether the person is loved by his parents.

As the head of the royal family, only His Majesty the King, his will is the real command.

Countess Hamilton was so angry that she said, "Let's get down to business! Who on earth helped Watson to stand out in the war?

It can't be the Ice Church, right?
ha?
Bowen... don't scare me... Does the Ice Church have this ability?
I would rather believe that it was done by the High Tower Church!"

"Have you forgotten that Baron Baal's daughter gave birth to the Ice Dog King?" Bowen said without blinking, "He is a direct descendant of Count Montes.

The relationship between the Northern Army, the Northern Nobility and the Ice Church is inherently delicate.

After all, they are the ones who have the most lethality to the nobles of the Ice Kingdom."

Countess Hamilton paused slightly, but she could only shake her head and sigh.

At that time, a large number of noble children rushed into the Northern King's Army, which was still in the final stage of the war... The safety level was high, the merit value was not low, and there were even territory exchange coupons.
