Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 568 Why is there only the bright moon?
A bright moon appeared again in front of Hamilton Storm Church.

"Why is there only the bright moon?" Evelyn Costa blurted out.

"Hmm..." Toronto grabbed the bricks in the corner and stared at the bright, round moon with a faint shadow. "It looks very real, even more real than I thought..."

"Toronto!" The female knight angrily kicked him in the back, "Didn't you hear me asking you?

Why is there only the bright moon? "

Toronto turned to look at her in surprise: "Then shouldn't we ask the Lord of Knowledge?"

"The judgment of intuitive creatures should be closer to the real situation." Evelyn Costa nodded decisively and couldn't help but muttered softly, "It seems that the Lord of Knowledge has found the Lord of Qingfeng to negotiate.

But since he cares so much about this matter, that...it only proves that he kept silent the first two times because he felt guilty.

It seems that the incident in which the Lord of Storms caused a big disturbance in Vargas was indeed, as rumored, a collaboration between the Church of the Earth and Scroll Mountain.

And the Lord of Knowledge should have let this go... Tsk, old... um...

Tsk tsk~ I've only heard of border generals who adopted bandits to protect themselves!
Actually... huh~"

Toronto asked curiously, “What are you talking about?
Why is the sound so high and low...why can't I hear it?

I can hear the sound of snowflakes falling!"

"If you can't hear me, then I'm certainly not talking to you!" Evelyn Costa rolled her eyes, "Go observe your moon!
Dark Moon is enough."

Toronto tilted his head, and finally chose to give up pursuing the matter, and just said "Huh~".

"Pearl, do you know a female knight named Evelyn Costa?" Almes, who was rooted in the alley to the right of the two people in Toronto, asked his sister softly.

"I know her... but I just know her." Pearl recalled quickly, "She is a female knight of the giant hammer, very powerful and cool.

He behaves like an adventurer, without any aristocratic air at all.

My father told me about her because she was a renowned independent adventurer who was said to have been promoted to level twelfth twenty years ago.

His fighting style is very brutal, he likes to jump up and smash his enemies...literally."

Although Pearl didn't have much combat experience, she could still make these external judgments almost accurately...at least Pearl would basically notice what the other party wanted people to see.

Of course, what made Almes even more certain that this lady had a background but was okay was Ezra's attitude.

There was no way his father would allow Pearl to communicate with someone with an overly complicated background under his nose.

But the existence of a non-Northern camp that could make Ezra keep such a secret and still have a little respect for it... Almes searched his memory and finally pointed to a clear existence.

If you are a believer of that person, there is indeed no problem.

Then Toronto, which is favored by the other party, should at least not have any problems with faith... As for identity, there is no way to trace it, and no one can be sure.

As long as they are not outsiders or subordinates of the evil god, everything will be fine.

Almes reacted belatedly, "No wonder Dad said Toronto is a wizard I can deal with."

"Brother is being too smart again?" Pearl couldn't help but make fun of her.

"It's right to be careful." Almes shook his head, "In this situation, even the gods may not be able to make the right judgment.

Our King has retired at the peak of his career!

Be good, I brought you the armor set that Guodu just developed this time!

You can play with it for two years first. If you feel you can adapt to it, I will buy you a new one next time it comes out.

By the way, what about that long sword? The palace guards are quite fond of it. "

Pearl touched the silver sword at his waist and said, "When it is wrapped with energy, it is indeed twice as much as the previous one, and when it injures the enemy, it will also add a damage of the same attribute.

But perhaps because too many magical materials were used, the sword itself was not very sturdy.

Moreover, the noise was a bit too loud, which is not very suitable if you want to create surprises.

It is normal for the palace guards to be flattering. What they need is to quickly call for support when they can quickly defeat the enemy."

Her explanation was concise and clear, so Almes could understand it naturally.

He showed a subtle smile: "No wonder the military didn't do much to control the floating hearts of people."

"Brother?" Pearl moved closer to him, "So, why?

Don't be so vague! You know I don't understand."

Almes helplessly stretched out his finger and poked her forehead slightly, "It won't kill you to use your brain occasionally.

When there is too little external pressure, an army with too many people will have a hard time!"

Pearl still couldn't quite figure it out: "But, I remember that His Majesty the King allocated a lot of external trade routes and mineral resources to the army, and even acquiesced to their private transactions. The army is not poor!"

"Pearl, although most people think that having enough food and clothing is good, there are always people who think that if they only want this, why would they join the army and suffer! The army is a ladder to climb up.

The ladder in the north has been stagnant for nearly 40 years.”

Mrs. Yagris, including his father, were actually the beneficiaries of the long-lasting border war 50 years ago.

After them, the middle and upper echelons of the border army were almost fixed.

If it were many years ago, how could a commander of his father's level not even be able to become a deputy commander-in-chief?
Do soldiers have money... Compared to ordinary citizens, of course they do.

However, from the long sword he bought for Pearl, it can be seen that the royal army, even the royal army stationed in the royal capital, has lost the momentum of spending money lavishly in the past... Even the top weapons manufacturers have begun to switch to making special long swords for the court guards.

How could this have happened before?

The knights above level 10 in the army are the biggest customers of these equipment manufacturers.

The palace guards could only follow the army knights and try their best to adapt themselves to those military weapons.

As a result, now, the situation is reversed!

Moreover, this is a type that is very unsuitable for the military knight's fighting style.

It is conceivable that in the eyes of those manufacturers, they would not buy any new weapons.

Almes sighed, "Really... the White Dragon is really a double-edged sword!"

Fortunately, His Majesty Travis has already decided to give up the throne and find his own future path.

Because of his voluntary departure, all the forces had the courage to take action again... Almes suddenly glanced at the Storm Cathedral under the bright moon.

The Schroeder family wasn’t really that strong before.

Although a lot of things happened, they were all normal power struggles, occasionally succeeding but often failing.

However, when the traditional nobles began to show too much respect for the royal power, the Storm Nobles naturally took over a lot of the power that the other side gave up... Even though most of it was taken away by the royal family, those scraps were enough for the Schroeder family to grow rapidly.

Of course, all of this was the choice made by Priest Schroeder and Duke Schroeder after they became inflated, and they cannot blame anyone else.

However, when the Schroeder family was unable to clean up the mess due to these mistakes, the traditional nobles rushed out again... They wanted to snatch back even the things in the hands of the royal family, not to mention the leftovers that the Schroeder family had swallowed up.

There is no way that the chief priest does not know this.

Almes frowned slightly, "Pearl, you haven't been in contact with Celestia recently, have you?"

"No." Pearl answered simply, "Since you don't give her any chance, I will definitely not hold you back!
Why did my brother suddenly think of her? "

"If it's as I thought... Archpriest Schroeder might not be the only one to take away..." Almes leaned against the wall and said with a sigh, "If the Schroeder family must return to where they were, then he will only have one biggest competitor."

As for the royal family and traditional nobles, as long as the Schroeder family retreats quickly enough, they will not continue to fight and kill... It is impossible that there is no storm force strong enough in the north.

Now that the Schroeder family is gone, McMillan, who is coming up, may not be much better.

It is even possible that a brand new family will emerge... The Main Temple has enough means to advance this step.

It would be better to let the Schroeder family, which everyone is familiar with, stay.

However, this also requires a prerequisite.

That means the two 'culprits', Archpriest Schroeder and Duke Schroeder, must disappear... Of course, the nobles don't really care about the sins of these two people. There is only one reason why they must disappear: they are too powerful.

As long as these two are alive, the Schroeder family will never be at the mercy of others.

McMillan... Almes suddenly remembered the main reason why Celestia fell in love with him.

That, Archdeacon McMillan who might die at any time, and their line of priests who have no successors.

“Celestia…I think she really miscalculated this time.” Almes said softly, “She shouldn’t have left the capital.”

"Is she in danger?" Pearl asked cautiously.

"Not really." Almes smiled. "In the name of the Storm Lord, who dares to touch a proper Storm Knight?"

"Master, just the deputy priest will do?" Pearl couldn't help but ask after she was sure what Almes was hinting at.

"He was originally relying on external forces to keep alive his life," Almes said calmly, "and was already on the brink of death.

As long as he is not assassinated personally, but...

Even I can think of many ways to let such a person die!"

"Can you imagine what a surprising thing that is?" Pearl couldn't help but complain.

"Hehe~" Almes gave his sister a warning smile.
