Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 652: The Awakening of the Confidants
Rather than saying that Qingfeng Territory is a territory that Lowry manages diligently, it is better to say that it is a home that he has built for his family and friends to stay with forever.

Although outsiders may think that Lori is an extremely responsible lord, in the eyes of people like Mal who are very familiar with him, Lori is more like playing a game called "Barony of Gezar".

He was very good to his subjects and subordinates, and provided them with ample money and resources...but Lowry never cared whether these people were satisfied or "pressing for more".

When he found out that some of his subordinates were shameless, he wasn't even that angry, he just threw it out and was done with it.

A lord who has worked hard for his territory would not be so indifferent.

He would definitely be furious because of those people's shamelessness and lack of gratitude.

Even if he is not very familiar with this person, it is possible that he has never met him before.

As long as you have given your all sincerely, you will definitely feel that you deserve something in return.

However, even though he had watched someone who had grown up experience this kind of situation, Lowry didn't feel anything and was very calm when solving the problem.

In Lowry's heart, the betrayal of these people was not as serious as the fracture Taylor suffered due to being too immersed in stress training.

If Taylor hadn't reacted quickly enough and drank a bottle of medicine to restore himself to a lively state before Lowry appeared, the training ground would probably have been rebuilt again... Lowry would not stop them from continuing to practice, but he would definitely find a way to make the auxiliary function of the training ground stronger.

For example, if someone accidentally falls from mid-air, a thick mat will immediately float up from the sidelines to catch him.

It's a really good feature, but it's a bit too safe for knights.

They already know how to protect themselves!

I will never be reluctant to drink the recovery potion!
However, in Lowry's mind, he only thought that there was a one in ten thousand chance that Taylor would break his neck.

It's obvious that Lowry himself has been a very troublesome person since he was a child, but towards them... he is really a little overprotective.

Even though Mal and Comlan's bases are not near the castle, they know that Lori's eyes are always on this side!
It doesn't matter what they do, but if they get hurt, a batch of potions will be sent over from the castle soon.

Afraid that they would suffer a loss... Only a few of them could receive such attention.

Even those mage apprentices who had been taught by Lori were not taken seriously by Lori.

Mal knew very well that although Lori had a soft heart, there was a sensitive yet strong shell outside of it.

But after he became a lord and possessed such powerful strength, it was difficult for anyone to look at him with the purest feelings.

Even if one respects and loves the lord, some selfish thoughts are inevitable.

Some people can understand and accept this impure emotion, but Lowry seems unable to do so.

It's not wrong to be strict with your friends, but sometimes, acquaintances, even if they are just bad friends, are necessary.

But as Lowry became stronger, his demands on the outside world became higher and higher, and he even began to implicitly refuse external communication.

This is not right or normal.

If we say that, in the beginning, Lori carefully built a beautiful and warm home for their group of people, then now, it is Mal and the others who are doing their best to maintain the peace of their home.

The reason why they pay more and more attention to those scholar-knights is because they need them as the first line of defense... let the people who can get close to Lowry be the type who are sincere enough even though they can't help but have some small thoughts.

Those guys who are always thinking about how to use others to climb up the ladder and who, when they see Lowry, first think about whether their looks and their tongues can be used, should try to keep them away from Lowry as much as possible.

Only in this way can Lowry stop...behaving more and more like a god.

This was the conclusion they reached after discussing it privately.

As a powerful wizard, Lowry certainly has the qualifications and capital to refuse contact with people he doesn't like.

But it’s not like it is now, where I completely reject it and feel annoyed at the first glance.

The normal him should be the one who robbed greedy and corrupt nobles with Ruth Kania.

He was the one who had nothing better to do than tease Leon.

Instead of the current one, the archmage who is only willing to contact the Lord of Storms or other gods, His Majesty Travis.

It’s not that the gods and the king had no selfish motives when facing Lori.

However, even if these people wanted to plot against someone, they would not start from the direction where desires run rampant.

Lowry had no aversion to this kind of brain-based war.

Originally, Chesca wanted to give Lori some advice, which was supposed to be her duty as the chief steward.

We even sought the opinions of Mal and others and gained unanimous approval.

But Mrs. Yagris stopped him.

Mrs. Yaglis said that Lowry was at a critical stage at the moment and had to figure things out on his own.

Any interference from the outside world may affect the balance of laws he will construct later.

The reason why many mages can't advance any further after reaching level 15 is because they don't understand themselves thoroughly enough.

However, any mage who can pass this level will make rapid progress after reaching level 16 and walking out of the earth.

This is the reason why, after experiencing so many disasters that caused the extinction of mages, they can still rely on their own strength to compete with the White Dragon and those forces from the past.

Although the white dragons did show restraint, they were able to keep their sanity and not attack the most powerful star fortresses when they had an absolute advantage. This must be because they knew that their chances of success were very low, but their chances of death were very high.

The only possibility is to create opportunities for other white dragons to make money.

No white dragon would do such a thing.

Of course, knights also have similar tests, but they are not as severe as those of mages.

After all, they are basically only related to the laws of a single attribute.

In fact, after passing level 10, Mal and the others had actually received instruction on similar situations... Madam Yagris was really knowledgeable in this area.

Moreover, Lori himself actually knew it. Not only Madam Yagris, but also Archmage Arsalan had taught him seriously after he reached level ten.

But no matter how much preparation he made, he just couldn't think of it when it really happened to him.

In fact, because it was so natural and there were no ups and downs at all, Mal and the others didn't feel anything at all.

Mrs. Yagris said that it was because they were too closely connected with Lowry.

It can be said that their destiny is connected.

Therefore, this test, which is close to a law, will also take them into account.

Whether they can see Lowry's problem or not, they themselves may become the next problem.

That is really scary and makes people feel cold.

Then they realized one thing... Madam Yagris, who could see through all this, must have passed this level long ago.

No wonder she has hardly stopped in the past twenty years.

The reason why she is still at level 15 is probably because she deliberately suppressed it.

Only a knight who has very high requirements for control over his own attributes and is confident enough in his abilities will do this.

The last person who advanced after staying at level 15 until he was satisfied was His Majesty Travis.

Of course, he made up for his shortcomings quite quickly, and it looked like he was not much different from advancing directly.

But the light of laws after his advancement proved that he had indeed waited.

A knight is not like a mage. Even when he reaches level 16, he still needs to spend a lot of time learning new knowledge.

Therefore, most knights would rather reach level 16 and then make up for those regrets.

Even though doing so would not only take twice as long, but would also consume a lot of resources.

But for them, this is more cost-effective.

After all, there are still many knights who are lucky enough to reach level 16. Why would they have the time to think about so many things?

It's impossible that they are obviously stronger but are suppressed in all aspects by these quick-learning guys, right?

A man like Baron Watson will never give in just because "he will be much stronger than me in the future". He will only try to strangle any future troubles.

Anyway, as long as you don't have too many regrets at level 10, it won't be completely irreparable after level 16.

It's just a little bit worse, who cares?

But it is not surprising that Mrs. Yagris would choose to take this steady path.

She has enough time and space.

The only surprising thing was that she had passed this test quietly... Mal and the others had thought of possible reasons, but they couldn't ask.

We can only let this matter pass in confusion.

Then, the only thing they could do for Lowry was to try their best to protect themselves and prevent the Baron from having any regrets because of them.

Therefore, even though he envied Mal's understanding of the relationship between life and death, Comlan suppressed his urge to seek death as well.

Accidents are inevitable. If he keeps working hard, he will get his chance one day!
It was just a flash of inspiration. Who doesn’t have it?

Komlan held up his shield steadily and gave Mal a look: "Since you are slow to react, remember to raise your shield five thousand times when you return."

An agreement is an agreement, and if it is violated for whatever reason, there will be punishment.

Mal agreed dejectedly.

Their training is really hard and lasts for a long time.

Five thousand times meant that his half-monthly rest day was completely wasted.

Not that he cherished this rest day very much. After all, he often didn't want to go out and stayed in the camp to practice on his own.

But the feeling of choosing not to rest and not being able to rest because of making mistakes is completely different.
