Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 662 The Sudden Alarm
The Lord of Storms hesitated suspiciously for a few seconds before speaking: "Nonsense!"
It's normal for me to think this way.

I think any god with even a modicum of intelligence wouldn't do something so stupid as to cut off their own escape route!

What benefit would she gain from giving the Lord of Ice to someone else?
"Then we've lost even the last glimmer of hope!"

Travis hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Lowry, however, spoke the truth without a care: "Look, you can even say that she's still somewhat normal."

In our eyes, the head of the rain goddess is no different from a water ball; there is nothing there except water.

There's no need to consider logic; just think of the worst and most foolish possibilities.

Travis glanced at him in surprise, then looked enlightened and took back his words, not intending to touch on Lowry's sore spot.

People like Lowry must hate people like Rainwater who treat their children as tools and then reuse them as waste after they no longer want them!
"You... how come you hate her even more than I do?" The Lord of Storms didn't react and asked curiously.

Lowry shook her head: "Her bottom line is too low."

Moreover, every time something goes wrong, it has some negative impact on my territory.

Even more trouble they caused me than the Churches of Darkness and Wealth, who actually took action against me in the first place.

Travis shifted slightly, but then refrained from saying anything more. Pointing to the battle scene in the mirror, he asked worriedly, "Then, what about these two places?"

"What do you mean, 'what to do'?" the Lord of Storms replied casually. "Since the time to win has come, let's just make our move!"

They're not fools; they'll let things take their natural course.

"That's good..." Travis breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The people in those two places should be safe.

Travis knew very well that the orders received by Ezra and the commanders of Green Maple Territory were to stall for time as much as possible, not to stall until a certain time.

Ezra and his wife were both experienced enough in combat, and the few in Qingfeng Territory didn't have any need for battle merits, so they could make a decisive decision.

Travis can finally relax.

He still has to stand guard until the very end!
Leon is currently still a candidate for crown prince and must undergo at least three months of adjustment with the royal magic array... Regardless of whether Leon has lived in the palace before, as long as he has been away from the kingdom for a long time, he must reconnect with the royal magic array in order to inherit the throne.

Only in this way can his bloodline information be recognized by the magic array, and only then can it gradually replace the aura left by Travis in the magic array.

Of course, this is on the premise that Leon has been out there causing trouble for so many years without any problems with his bloodline.

Travis had gone through the same process, and he was a little worried that his assimilation with Luscania might affect his blood.

Fortunately, only his physique and attributes changed; his bloodline remained the same.

His children, while inheriting some of the dragon's characteristics to varying degrees, generally replaced the maternal bloodline... This should also be due to the influence of the royal palace's magic array.

Leon has even less to worry about, as his father is the only one whose bloodline attributes have not been altered.

Moreover, Leon was born in the palace and had already left his mark on the magic circle.

After the magic circle re-examines his blood, it will compare it with the previous one. If the changes are too significant, then Leon's right to inherit the throne will not be recognized.

It is precisely for this reason that the royal family will never accept children born outside the palace, no matter how talented they are, they will only be assigned to a collateral branch of the family.

These practices, though seemingly unfair to some children, are what have ensured the Northern Royal Family's continued existence for so many years.

Besides, the ones who should be apologizing to these children are their parents, not the royal family.
It's not like the royal family forced these children to be born outside the radiation range of the magic circle.

No royal family will change this ironclad rule.

Therefore, no matter how urgent the situation is, this three-month adjustment period is undeniable and unavoidable for anyone.

Including Travis from back then.

Back then, his unfortunate brothers dared to take the risk precisely because of this three-month gap.

Furthermore, Travis's appearance has indeed changed due to his alliance with Luscania, leading many to believe that even if his bloodline can be verified through the magic circle, the time limit will be extended to the longest possible one year.

In matters of succession to the throne, a year's wait is enough for everything to change dramatically.

In other words, although Leon has now begun to take over some government affairs, all power still belongs to Travis.

As long as he remains the King of the North, Travis will not easily abandon his people.

Not to mention that the vast majority of the participants on these two battlefields were people standing behind him.

Even if the gods have other plans, Travis wouldn't want to use the lives of his own people as a bargaining chip.

Fortunately, the gods like the Lord of Storms don't have such low bottom lines, and there's nothing they're forced to do right now.

Travis isn't as naive as Lowry.

At least, he had his own understanding of the gods… even though he wanted to become a god himself. The royal family's most secret collection contained top-secret records related to gods from hundreds of thousands of years ago to the present day.

Even the Lord of Storms, when necessary, will choose to abandon humanity first.

There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but it at least proves that in the eyes of the gods, humanity is always something that can be discarded.

The secret chamber remained hidden because a future king could only enter it once.

After the magic circle finally accepts his bloodline information, it will lead him into a secret room in the dead of night.

You can't leave the house until you've finished reading all the books inside.

But after reading it, no matter what insights he gained or whether he went to the other extreme, he would never be given another chance to read it again... The reason why Gezar was unlucky back then was because he met a guy who didn't read carefully enough and was overly sensitive.

If our ancestors from hundreds of thousands of years ago were already grateful to have encountered a god like the Lord of Storms, who had extremely high standards and would not abandon his human believers unless absolutely necessary, then... the kings who had experienced the catastrophe of the fall of the gods and had learned not to ask the gods for help but to protect themselves, had no desire to return to hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Their lives are indeed more tiring than those of the previous royal families. They not only have to painstakingly balance the relationships between their ministers, but also have to carefully build the king's direct army... But who would be willing to give up the scepter they already hold?

The kings of hundreds of thousands of years ago could not possibly have had a seat like him, even if the Lord of Storms himself was present.

It was precisely because he himself had been such a king that Travis scoffed at his own past ideas.

Even without that eternal First Queen, he would never have willingly offered himself up for death.

Moreover, compared to Lori who just listened and let it go, Travis was thinking much deeper... The Goddess of the Night kept this matter so well hidden, never letting those arrogant and domineering Dark Moons spread it, was she also waiting for a noble and royal god who would completely side with humanity and be an enemy of the gods?
Anyone who dares to stand out will die a horrible death.

Regardless of whether he changes in the future, Travis at least for now doesn't intend to place himself in the position of a god.

He didn't know what would happen in the future.

But now, he is still a human being.

He would also be wary of the gods' scheming for the safety of humanity... The gods are absolutely capable of sacrificing a portion of the population for a great goal and a bright future.

Travis didn't even dare to say whether, if it were him, he would choose to sacrifice some people's lives to save the entire country if necessary.

He'll probably do it.

However, he still felt that he must have been forced to do so, and that he had no other choice but to do it when all else failed.

However, the gods are a different matter.

They would deliberately throw unrelated people into the abyss... just so they could step on them and use them as leverage.

Therefore, when encountering matters related to deities, one must think carefully and never allow oneself to become a weapon in the hands of the gods... piercing all of humanity.

Although the goal of these gods must be to make the future of the world better.

This beauty may even extend to humanity.

However, it is very likely that this does not include modern humans.

The idea of ​​suffering such devastating losses that less than one in a hundred survives, yet having all the survivors become extraordinary, is not something people today can aspire to.

Even if he might be the one, the survival of all humanity shouldn't be gambled on.

It wasn't just the royal families of the North who would secretly instruct their future kings; regardless of the royal family, even those of theocracy, they would provide similar guidance.

After so many years of lessons, everyone understands that if a nation wants to continue to exist, it must always remember to stand on the side of humanity.

The gods never consider the fate of every individual, or even every nation.

But if they, as kings, do not consider this, then the future of national annihilation and racial extinction awaits them.

This calms him down better than anything else, even when he had just seized the throne in high spirits.

Now that his guard had lowered, Travis felt the urge to stir things up again. He glanced at Lowry, whose expression was indifferent, and said with a smile, "Lowry, don't you really want to see..."

"Beep beep beep!"

"Beep! Beep! Beep beep beep!"

A very strange alarm suddenly rang out in the center of the study.

Soon, a silvery-white magic circle appeared there, and a crystal ball shot out and spun wildly in mid-air.

"What...what happened again?!" Travis asked, looking completely bewildered, after just trying to reassure himself.

Lowry blinked, momentarily lost in thought.

He was confused for only a few seconds before regaining his senses and reaching out to bring the crystal ball to his side.
