Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 550: There is no low-altitude flying in the North

Although it is funny, the Watson family is actually the place with the least evil atmosphere in the North... After all, even Baron Qingfeng can't purify his home every day.

Baron Watson's family was able to do it, but it was basically just the kindness of their neighbors.

Not long after Lord and Countess Hamilton arrived in the North, they discovered the difference between border nobles and inland nobles.

Border nobles maintained a friendly but wary attitude toward their neighbors.

After all, no one knows whether the people next door will suddenly hook up with the dog-playing guy in the north for some reason.

Although this is not a big deal, if you don't want to be dragged into it, you must be prepared at all times and quickly raise a protective magic circle.

After the Watson family started mining, his neighbors and their neighbors all keenly noticed that something was wrong.

If this guy just colluded with outsiders to use some special means to mine minerals, or even sold out his own interests, the neighbors certainly wouldn't care.

But such means must not be polluting.

Therefore, let alone the first few years, there were traces of holy water from time to time outside Baron Watson's mine. Even at this stage where everyone has no doubts, holy water is still splashed every few days.

But no one would overreact because Baron Watson's method was definitely abnormal... If it were a small noble inland, one person might be enough to make the neighbors bring storm priests or even bishops to eradicate the evil.

The first thing for everyone is to be harmonious.

Although the two great knights who came from the military were a little uncomfortable with the peculiar neighborly relationship in the North, they really liked it.

They no longer have to worry about some of the good things they got because of Almes being regarded as "external hidden dangers" and requiring them to explain the causes and consequences, functions and effects clearly.

Those are just a few common fruits that can clean out waste in the body and help the body recover from fatigue!
Of course, this kind of thing would only happen to the great nobles who had no territories but only manors, and those small nobles who failed to hide well.

The Northern nobles' style of doing things is more like that of the great nobles who are wary of each other, even those manor-owning nobles can do this... Obviously, it is because once both sides make a move, it will give more terrifying enemies an opportunity to take advantage.

The great nobles could understand this very well.

After all, if they went to war with their enemies, it would be very likely that both of them would be killed by the royal family or the church.

The small nobles in the inland areas do not have this kind of "vigilance" to maintain harmonious relations with their neighbors. After all, their messy relationships are likely to be indulged, and they themselves have no downward management power.

Countess Hamilton, who came from a good family, was able to adapt to the situation in the North, but Ezra and Bowen had a difficult time.

Although they were born into the royal family, as long as the side branches did not take the initiative to get involved, they would at most be used, but not directly treated as enemies... It would never threaten the lives of the entire family, and at most they would lose some money.

In order to lure Ezra into taking the bait, he even had to use the position of "Deputy Commander" as bait.

Although the bait can still be retrieved, as long as the person who said this publicly, it will be officially recorded in the military case. If there is any special situation that requires someone to take over, he will be the first to give up his position.

The deputy commander himself understood this, but this was the price he had to pay... Even if Ezra took the bait but still failed in the end, the other party couldn't use the "I have never thought of abdicating" approach to make Ezra retreat, and could only use the competition among their own people to suppress Ezra.

So, although there were always people grumbling about Ezra's impulsiveness, no one condemned his gullibility...it was indeed an opportunity, no matter how small it was, it was still an opportunity.

No one would want a guy who would even harm his own harmless branches to become king. Anyone who dares to do so will inevitably become the target of public criticism.

The goal of those great nobles is to make their own princes king, and to have them recognized by His Majesty Travis, so they would never dare to violate this taboo.

In this situation, Ezra and Bowen, including the knights who accompanied them, were more like pure soldiers in all aspects and were more accustomed to eradicating the roots of the problem.

It took them quite some time to accept that they knew the other party had problems but could only watch the surveillance array and figure it out secretly.

Until now, Bowen has no way to leave everything to the monitoring alarm management of the magic circle, and he has to stare at the images himself every day.

He scratched his head and said puzzledly: "The Earl is inspecting the castle, so I came to talk to you first."

The Countess's eyes lit up... She really didn't expect that there would be such a benefit!
She quickly jumped up, summoned her own red-horned Pegasus, and went out to meet him personally without hesitation.

"It's right in the direction of Baron Gezar's castle!" Bowen, who had been mentally prepared, shouted loudly behind her.

He leaned against the window and tried to look up at the sky, but Countess Hamilton had already soared into the clouds and disappeared from his sight.

It wasn't that Countess Hamilton had to fly so high, but as a covert attack method, the flying troops almost always flew above the clouds, and even had to take the initiative to let the clouds fill their surroundings and feet. Most generals who came from the military would only fly low to deter underground enemies, and at other times, they were basically used to operating in the clouds.

The same is true for mages.

Furthermore, they don’t want ordinary people to know clearly the trajectory of their flight… For ordinary people, if someone flies over someone’s head, it will definitely be enough for them to talk about it for three to five years.

The person who is saying it doesn't know who he is whispering about, but the person who is listening may very likely know.

For example, the Lord of Qingfeng Territory, Lori.

This wizard, who loved riding a broomstick when he was a child, is now almost entirely associated with his broomstick.

Even ignorant people who don't even know what a wizard and a knight are will respectfully call him 'Broom Knight'.

I don't know about other places, but Bowen is sure that since the name "Broom Knight" appeared, the wizards and flying knights in the North are even more reluctant to reveal their whereabouts.

Ordinary people are very good at using their own logic to summarize things that they don't understand at all... Since there are broom knights, there must be "stick knights" and "carpet knights".

Moreover, there are not many flying creatures like the horned Pegasus ridden by Countess Hamilton.

Everyone was riding some magical creatures with flying abilities... The Wind Wolves were nothing. After all, people in the North were very sensitive to Ice Dogs, and even children of a few years old would not mistake the dog-like creatures.

But, there are also Flying Cats and Flying Tigers~
This is a special product of the East Territory, and it seems to have originated from some magical experiments in ancient times.

The smaller flying cats are good at reconnaissance, while the larger flying tigers are good at combat and have combination skills, making them very popular among the nobles.

The Eastern Territory... The original Sebefia family, although they didn't have any serious cross-border transactions, but just by collecting and selling these specialties, their income was more than the combined income of mining in other border territories and "serious or informal foreign trade".

Although they are only good at seducing birds and cannot charm magical creatures with higher intelligence, they can still make them temporarily lose their combat effectiveness and desire to fight.

If these two creatures were not stubborn by nature, did not recognize their knights, and would not have children if they were not satisfied with their living environment, the Sebefia family would be able to make a lot of money by letting them reproduce naturally.

Unfortunately, both of these creatures dislike Sepefia very much, including people with Sepefia bloodline.

Sebefia had no choice but to sell directly, and then allow the major adventure groups to capture and sell them in their territory... and then collect high taxes.

But this is still the easiest flying creature for ordinary nobles to obtain.

At least they have the money to buy it.

On the contrary, flying magical creatures such as Pegasus, even if they become the specialty of a certain place, are not something that ordinary nobles can get... Although the selling price is also 10 to 20 gold, it is no longer something that can be bought with money.

Not only does one have to have certain status and position, but one also has to have some special precious materials in exchange for the qualification to purchase.

Over the years, the flying creatures that ordinary people in the North can often see are really these little cats and big cats.

However, these giant furry magical creatures are quite amazing when you look up from the ground... Especially cats. No matter how big they are, they are still cats. Once they fly into the sky, they like to retract their claws and make themselves look like a big cat blanket.

With the precedent of Lowry, the Cavaliers naturally don't want to take too many risks, and everyone still prefers a more heroic title.

It's better than Cat Knight or something like that. Moreover, although mortals lack language skills, they have outstanding associative ability. There are always people who can come up with vivid but funny names.

In addition, with the Broom Knight standing in front, who looked nonchalant even though he was unhappy about it, everyone could only laugh dryly even if they were given nicknames... Although they couldn't figure out how big or small that person's mind was, they knew very well that if the Baron Qingfeng thought they had "done something wrong", no one would be able to bear the consequences.

So, Bowen has been in the North for more than half a year, and except for the wizard Lori next door who might have given up, he has never seen anyone flying low and fast.

Especially those holding staffs.

Also good.

For a lame scholar like him, it would be better to turn a blind eye.

Bowen silently closed the window, cast a swiftness spell on himself, and ran away... My Lord Earl, if you don't come back, old Bowen will not be able to bear it!

He really didn't have the confidence that he could keep the secret for his Lord Earl under such circumstances.
