Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 565 There is a wizard named Toronto

There are some things that you should never decide on a whim, nor should you try them out.

However, a king who believes he can do whatever he wants cannot understand this concept.

And for the nobles at that time, it was not necessarily easier to control His Majesty the King than to deal with His Majesty Travis now... Everyone had just recovered from the war, and their strength and financial resources did not allow them to think too much about unnecessary things.

Even the Northern King’s Army was desperately rebuilding various border outposts at the time... Although there was a ceasefire, who didn’t know what a shitty temper the White Dragon was, after fighting for so long?

Who knows what the war might be about one day?
Therefore, everyone was very busy, and even the castle was built to look like a fortress, with secret passages and sentry posts everywhere... At that time, there were still towers in this world.

If it weren't for the warning from the Gezar family, the nobles would never have been able to join hands in the end... There is a price to pay for forming an alliance, even if it is small, it is enough for them to build a layer of the castle!
The royal family's later belief in having more children all originated from His Majesty the King.

After all, only those who have suffered more before getting to the top will understand that they should respect the power in their hands after getting to the top.

However, the real reason why all this happened was the invasion of the white dragon.

The North was still a new country back then, and the strength of its people and nobles was barely enough to compete with its neighboring countries.

In many territories, even the first generation of residents are still there!

It is conceivable how miserable it would be for such a young country to face the sudden attack of several white dragons... The white dragons at that time were all above level 20!
Although this kind of resentment of broken families and lost loved ones has gradually dissipated over time, it will definitely still exist.

That was the unreachable sadness of the subsequent war of gods.

After all, the Lord of Storms has always been strong and has provided complete protection to the countries that believe in him.

Moreover, in the army, there will also be strong people above level 16 who will enter the starry sky to obtain the so-called eternal life.

Although, among a hundred level 16 professionals, not necessarily one can break free from the constraints of the earth and withstand the pressure of the starry sky... the most important thing is to get an invitation to live in a starry sky fortress.

Of course, the King’s Army is not afraid of not getting an invitation when they want to go, but they also have to see whether their blood and soul can withstand the pressure in the star realm.

Although this pressure will be reduced in the Star Fortress, the road from the earth to the fortress still needs to be walked by oneself.

Even if one is placed in a different dimension by some means, it is impossible to escape the tremendous pressure at the moment of separation from the earth.

Even a truly powerful person like Ezra, who can reach level 60 before the age of 16, will not be able to get out unless he practices skills that specifically make his soul power stronger.

Mages do have more advantages in this regard. No matter how hard a level 16 knight practices, his mental power is at most similar to that of a level 12 mage.

But no matter what, with the huge number of geniuses in the army, it will definitely have its own place in the starry sky.

It’s not a lot, but if one appears every two or three hundred years, it’s still no problem.

Especially those who have made great contributions in the fight against the white dragon and successfully became beings above level 16, but were rejected by the earth... Although not many people can live to that time, there will be such people in every country.

To put it bluntly, the reason why the Star Fortress can exist is due to their efforts.

Although these people cannot return to the earth, they are still able to influence their descendants.

Hatred will always be there as long as anyone remembers it.

Even in some later events, the white dragon and humans resolved their hatred and even made up for past mistakes by sacrificing some of their own people.

But there are always people who are unwilling to forgive.

There are always people who think that the white dragon is an opponent that humans must be wary of forever.

The reason why they are all keeping silent now is simply because the White Dragon has no advantage at all on earth.

It can even be said that although the White Dragon is strong, they can only defend and counterattack.

If given the chance, the white dragon would definitely be a serious threat to mankind.

Even the natural mages who have the most "equal" attitude towards aliens cannot completely deny their ideas.

The northern soldiers have always shown a friendly attitude towards the white dragon only because Travis not only has a close alliance with the white dragon, but is also the one in control.

But Lori Montes is different.

He should be more like a dragon than a human. Even His Majesty the King occasionally mentioned that Lori and Ruth Cania were equal... Wait!
Almes suddenly realized something: His Majesty the King and Ruth Cania should have known about these hidden undercurrents long ago.

Therefore, Ruth Kania would rather leave her child in Qingfeng Territory, and His Majesty Travis had no objection to this.

The palace is indeed safe for His Majesty the King, and for Ruth Cania as well... but not necessarily for Ruth Cania's partner and children.

In the following years, His Majesty the King often arranged for Archmage Arsalan to control the palace magic circle instead of letting the magic circle flow freely as in the past, and it was not just because of his unfortunate daughter who was possessed by the evil god.

Almes smiled bitterly: "No wonder..."

"Al?" The Countess looked at him with concern. "Your Majesty, it seems that you have no intention of entering the Royal Fortress." Almes sighed.

“Even if he could go, he wouldn’t go.” Ezra suddenly rolled his eyes, “If it were me, I wouldn’t go to a place where all the ancestors gather!
Anyone can come and nag you."

Almes shook his head and didn't intend to say anything more.

Even if he suddenly realized that even if His Majesty the King was really deified as rumored, he would definitely not be the god of the Northern Royal Family.

He probably had completely given up the path he wanted to take over the past few years.

Compared to the royal family that once made His Majesty Travis despair, Ruth Kania is the only warmth in his heart.

Since there is no way back home in the North, then create a path of your own... This is in line with His Majesty Travis's character.

Almes couldn't help but glance at his old father... Ezra always said that he intuitively thought the position of deputy commander was better, and it seemed that he was not wrong.

If he were the deputy commander-in-chief, he would still be involved in some disputes, but he would definitely not be like he is now, where he dares not do anything.

I can only hide in the castle and let the wind and rain blow from the outside world.

"The world will soon be different." Almes thought for a moment and said, "I don't think that group of people in the astral world can continue to influence the earth in this way."

"Even if what you said is true, I can't take my whole family on a risk just for a possibility!" Ezra responded simply, "I do want a future, but my family is more important."

Almes closed his eyes slightly, completely forgetting those beautiful but dangerous plans in his head, and then he said slowly: "Then, I will listen to you."

He was not very willing, but Almes knew that he could not convince his parents who had already made up their minds.

“They won’t do anything to Qingfeng Territory, will they?” Almes couldn’t help but ask.

"They don't have the guts to do that." The Countess said sarcastically, "The only ones who are really affected are us.

Do you think that Mage Lori knows why we stay away from him?

Ha~ I don’t believe that a great wizard with the incarnation of the Lord of Storms by his side can’t even see such a small thing.

It’s… so annoying.”

Almes tried hard to suppress the urge to sigh.

He knew very well that his parents were not unaware of the absurdity of these things... No matter what kind of dragon Lori Montes was, and whether the children he would have in the future would have the same talents as him, it would be impossible for them to cause any big trouble in the presence of the gods.

Even if the world changes drastically, Bailong will have the opportunity to become strong again.

In the end, all this was caused by the fact that they were "not of my kind".

But although their reasons are far-fetched, they are not completely impossible.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is impossible for the Ezra couple to turn against their comrades of many years just for a powerful neighbor.

It's not about forcing them to go to war with their neighbors, it's just about asking them not to get too close to each other.

“Dad…” Almes endured and endured, but still insisted, “Actually, you also understand that if you don’t get along well with the Baron of Qingfeng Territory in the North, the development of Hamilton Territory may very well stagnate… It may even be suppressed by Montes Territory in a few decades, right?
Your comrades are not…"

"Al!" the Countess raised her voice slightly and said in a warning tone, "your father has made up his mind."

Damn it, comradery.

Almes closed his eyes again, trying to control his turbulent emotions: "Then, let's prepare to rebuild the warming array!"

What else could he do except make his life a little more comfortable?

No wonder Ezra turned his attention to the Adventurer's Tavern... the only possibility of making a fortune was cut off by him from the very beginning.

“By the way, Almes.” Ezra suddenly thought of something, “Among the adventurers, there is an independent wizard named Toronto. You can try to deal with him.

He should be from a wealthy merchant family in the capital, and have some connection with the royal family, but not directly under them.

He has good abilities and a decent character. Most importantly, he is indeed standing in the king's camp, and his faith is also a storm."

"Hmm?" Almes wasn't very interested.

"He was just at the tavern..." Ezra was well aware of his son's proud nature, so he immediately made his words a little clearer.

"I understand." Almes nodded.
