Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 566: 'Steady' Toronto

Standing outside the Storm Church and peeping in the open was a bit of a torment for Toronto.

What does this inexplicable young master next door want to do?
There is really nothing good in his pocket, and it is not worth being robbed by a playboy.

Toronto retreated slightly and approached Evelyn Costa, who was slightly disguised in the alley. "Do you know who the young man next door is from?"

“The Hamiltons.

You don't know him?" Evelyn Costa asked in surprise, "He just came back from the capital."

"There are hundreds of court wizards! Apart from the well-known wizard Arsalan, I know the appearance of fewer than a handful of wizards." Toronto couldn't help laughing. "They don't go out through the main door."

Then, as if he remembered something, he sighed softly: "As a court mage, you can't go out by yourself until you can fly."

Although Evelyn Costa often accepted some missions from nobles, to be honest, basically no nobles would look for truly independent adventurers like them.

Even if they don't support an adventure group for their own families to help them deal with secret affairs, these great nobles will have a large adventure group to cooperate with them all year round.

The Great Adventure Group is indeed tough and upright, but at least they will not easily forget their principles for the sake of profit.

After all, no matter how great a single benefit is, it is difficult to exceed the long-term benefits of the adventure group in one go.

If there really is, then it should only be the fault of those who really leave such matters to adventurers.

Therefore, if an independent adventurer knew everything about the nobles, especially those in the royal capital, there would definitely be a problem.

Evelyn Costa didn’t even have as many ordinary court mages as Toronto knew… there was only this Master Almes who had just flown back from outside and swaggered into Hamilton Castle.

Of course, they all have a deep memory of the existence of Archmage Arsalan's level.

After all, this big guy often searches in the wilderness.

Any adventurer with a bit of brains would buy some information related to him... The most frightening thing about outdoor adventures is not greed, but misplaced greed.

It just so happens that in places where this great wizard often appears, adventurers are most likely to commit large-scale "group assassinations".

Those are relics.

There are people like Arsalan in every country, and they are the ones that independent adventurers mainly remember.

No one would be willing to spend such a high amount of money on intelligence for a wizard like Almes who has not yet reached the top... Any information from the Northern Palace is relatively expensive, unlike the Icefield Palace next door, which can be bought with money.

Of course, after Ezra became Earl of Hamilton, Almes's intelligence must have become hot stuff.

But for an adventurer like Evelyn Costa, there was only one reason why she knew what Almes looked like: she saw it with her own eyes.

Toronto, who had figured this out, blinked slightly and said, "Have you been to the castle these past two days?"

Evelyn Costa nodded: “It is impossible that Earl Hamilton does not know about Gran Sack’s affairs.

I'll definitely have to pay a little attention to what's going on over there."

Even though the earl has always been friendly, the independent adventurers who have been struggling for a long time will never trust him as much as they trust Leon... What the nobles are best at is solidarity.

After all, the merits and benefits that one or two cult followers can bring to them are by no means as great as those of a whole group of them.

Things like killing innocent people and taking credit for others' achievements happen all the time.

But the Hamiltons seemed too relaxed... they were even happily redecorating the castle!

Evelyn Costa was so frightened by this weird reaction that she didn't sleep for two days and two nights.

The only result was that I remembered the faces of the Earl's family and the people around them clearly.

Toronto tilted his head: “The way royal family members think is different from ordinary nobles.

For example, Leon mentioned above.

Only a royal family could bring up someone with his demeanor.

But only adventurers can understand his behavior patterns, and it is difficult for nobles to speculate on them. "

"So, that's why there are so many opponents?" Evelyn Costa asked curiously.

"That can't be considered an opponent. It can only be said that it tripped him up a bit to see what he is made of." Toronto smiled slightly, "He is not like His Majesty the King, who has a white dragon that can prove everything, right?"

Evelyn Costa shook her head slightly...Toronto's judgment on Leon's return path was very much in the style of the capital.

This is also the main reason why the nobles dared to fish in troubled waters... The general public believed the reason that was spread very much: because they had not been trained and witnessed by the orthodox aristocratic system, the nobles and the army were too unfamiliar with Leon, the future king. Therefore, under the witness of His Majesty the King, everyone used their own tricks to deepen their understanding of each other.

This is the only way to inherit the throne, and it is an inevitable test... Although it is a bit absurd, it is in line with the psychology of ordinary people. It is not without reason that His Majesty Travis allowed such rumors to appear... As long as he succeeds, Leon will naturally be able to directly gain the trust and support of the people.

Any dissatisfaction with his succession or even rumors will only lead to condemnation from the people: We saw it with our own eyes, what qualifications do you have to say such things?
Therefore, even though Leon had to stop at a palace ten kilometers away from the royal capital because of his stupid mother and brother, everyone was still in high spirits and did not find it strange at all.

The last hurdle is family affection... It seems to be in line with the breakthrough journey of a king.

Evelyn Costa certainly knew more information inside.

After all, the adventurers played many roles in this journey of return, so certain information, especially the inside information related to the main messenger, cannot be concealed.

However, for someone like Toronto who only appears in the name of an adventurer but does not participate in the adventurers' internal affairs, the information he knows must be limited.

Evelyn Costa looked at Toronto, who was discussing with her mysteriously whether Leon's return journey was related to some of the prince's relatives, and completely gave up her doubts about him.

Everything this guy knows seems to be a secret, but can be discovered.

If Toronto acts as if it only knows the so-called 'test', then it is definitely not normal.

And given his personality, it is impossible for him to keep any secrets.

Evelyn Costa had to completely let go of the doubts in her heart... They were not going to be fellow travelers in the future, so a reasonable answer would be enough. There was no need to desperately get to the bottom of a stranger.

In other words, if there is indeed something wrong with the person whom even she, who was so careful, didn't notice the problem, then it would be better for her to really know nothing.

Toronto looked confused: "So, why would the eldest son of the Hamilton family target me?"

"It's a rather interesting...relationship..." Evelyn Costa thought back to Toronto's performance that day and answered hesitantly, "He probably has never met someone as honest as you in his life."

Toronto thought about it and decided not to ask for trouble, so he simply skipped some of the hesitant words and said, "That's good.

It saves me from having to wonder if I brought back some horrible specialty from the iceberg."

Specialties that can be exchanged for resources are a surprise.

It is terrifying that the specialty can be exchanged for a great noble, or even the eldest son of the lord's family.

He still wants to live well!
"Hey~" Evelyn Costa laughed heartily, "You don't even go to the Ice Dog Lair normally, how can you get anything good?"

Toronto nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "Being alive is the most important thing."

Even if precious treasures are born from the combination of tens of thousands of years of ice and storms on the big iceberg, they must be in the place with the strongest magical energy... The ice dog's nest is usually chosen by the Ice Dog King himself.

If you want to find the good stuff, you have to fight against those ice dogs directly.

The Northland King's goal was naturally achieved.

In other words, the reason why the Lord of Ice accepted certain restrictions of this huge iceberg was because there were endless adventurers who could help him train his troops.

At the deepest part of the Ice Dog's lair, there must be a den of evil god believers.

Otherwise, even with the order from the Ice Dog King, the Ice Dog is not the type to be obedient.

Even if a dog knows that he will lose his head if he goes out, there will still be people who want to give it a try.

Evelyn Costa has known Toronto for many years and has exchanged resources with him on the Great Iceberg. She is very clear about his routes, which are all near the key focus areas of the Lord of Qingfeng Territory...that is, the kind of place that has both eyes in the clouds and control of magic circles.

If Toronto encounters an enemy that he cannot fight against or escape from, all he has to do is run towards the magic circle.

After all, he is a mage. Under the premise that he is extremely careful and never lets his mana bar run out, the only person who can force him into a desperate situation is a human.

As for those "evil masters" who did not care about the opinions of the Lord of Qingfeng Territory and did not feel the need to trade with Qingfeng Territory, they had already disappeared in several "cleansing battles".

Even the followers of the evil god would pay a little attention to their image on the iceberg.

Lori Montez really enjoys taking advantage of the greed of evil people to deal with some of the troubles he perceives.

Even Bailong is not as wicked as him. Every move he makes is a catastrophic disaster at the level of a god-war.

Therefore, as long as they still want to make a living in the Great Iceberg, everyone will try their best not to become a "trouble" in the eyes of the Lord of Qingfeng Territory.

But also for this reason, more and more high-level adventurers have dared to venture into the Ice Dog Lair in the past two years.

Therefore, Evelyn Costa admires Toronto for being able to stick to his steady approach.

Even though this guy is a little off-kilter, he's really good at protecting himself... Even if someone wants to frame him, it'd be difficult.
