Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 666 The Charm of Lowry

The Lord of Storms and Travis remained silent.

They always felt that something was wrong with what Lowry said, but it also seemed to make a lot of sense.

But it just doesn't sound right.

The Lord of Storms quickly shrugged off the irrelevant details and got straight to the point: "Lorry, don't make the palaces that can be traced back to the abodes of the gods sound so worthless. It would make the gods who hear it feel a little worthless too."

Even for him, it wouldn't be so easy to rush directly into the Ice Lord's palace!
Those who were able to enter were all personally pulled in by the Lord of Ice.

The Lord of Storms was of course aware that the reason Lowry was able to do so easily was simply because the Crystal Palace had formed a certain connection with this icy water vein over the decades, allowing him to use the palace's exclusive control core to find the source.

If it were his Sky Cloud Palace, Lowry would never have been able to do it so easily.

However, judging from Lowry's performance, it's clear that he's not entirely incapable of doing it if given the opportunity.

The seemingly effortless calculations actually involve extremely profound magical concepts, and the computational power they consume is almost comparable to that of divine fire.

From this point, the Lord of Storms can be absolutely certain: even if he is a dragonborn, Lori could never be from the White Dragon family.

Although white dragons are cunning and treacherous, their intelligence is not that high.

The reason why the White Dragon King was able to fight Dark Night and Rain Water to a standstill was entirely because he was wicked enough, had a low enough bottom line, and was shameless enough, not because he could actually calculate every move of these two.

This guy manages that group of extremely powerful white dragons with ease, and even though he never goes to the Astral Plane, he can still intimidate the white dragons in the Starry Sky Dragon Nest from time to time.

Although this powerful deterrent effect is related to the dragon's unique bloodline connection, humans who are bound by slave contracts will ultimately fight back and kill their own kind!

There are never exceptions.

No one has been able to suppress a race like humanity for hundreds of thousands of years.

They always find their own way to forge their own path.

Moreover, when dealing with their own people, humans tend to forget past lessons, but when facing a common enemy, they can remember the past.

Kings like Travis were well aware of the gods' vigilance and precautions, and the Lord of Storms was certainly aware of this.

But the gods felt nothing at all.

At least for the Lord of Storms, his attitude toward humanity is not much different from what it was hundreds of thousands of years ago.

The apparent changes are simply due to the fact that what humans offer in exchange for them has changed.

That's why Lowry is so adorable.

Even the goddess of the night, who had once caused him trouble, would not deny the child's noble character... At least this child never felt that everything he had suffered was due to the torment of fate, nor did he complain about heaven and earth.

He also dislikes those who cause him trouble and tries to retaliate, but Lowry will never say that the reason this happens is because he is unlucky.

He will strive for everything he can, and while he may regret what he loses, he will not feel that fate has been unfair.

Although he might complain, when faced with a real problem, Lowry's first choice is definitely not to ask for help or divine intervention.

He doesn't rely much on his mother; his biggest wish is for her to stay safely by his side.

After Lowry left his former home, Gabrielle had to actively seek out opportunities to help her son.

Lori's requests to her were all things like, "If possible, could you teach my men the basic code of chivalry?" or "Lily and Bobo don't understand worldly customs very well. I can't teach them well. Can you help me, Mom?"

This isn't bad; in fact, it's quite intimate.

But this is not about relying on or depending on others.

It's a very healthy mother-son relationship, but it's only because Yagris is such an open-minded mother who asks nothing of her child that they can be so close.

The Lord of Storms had seen too much on the land, and he knew very well that a territory like Lori's was unique.

And there will never be another lord or mage like Lori.

Gods who need faith may not like children like Lori, since even when pushed to their limits, they find it difficult to place all their hopes on the gods.

But the Lord of Storms and the others really liked it.

They are gods... not our own parents. Are we supposed to teach these people things that can be accomplished simply by being a little more serious and putting in a little more effort?

Even your own parents might not have this much free time!

Even those who believe in gods still need to make a profit; they would never do a business that loses money!
If Travis were to actually become a god, he'd be crying out to sever all ties with humanity in less than a thousand years.

Even if he can stay true to himself and not be affected by the negative effects of his faith, he will still be driven crazy by the chaotic prayers he hears.

Huh~
After giving Travis a mocking look, the Lord of Storms turned back to Lori and instructed him again: "Don't talk about things related to the gods so casually, remember that."

Even if the deity you deciphered doesn't take it seriously, an onlooker might suddenly become dissatisfied.

Lori looked up, bewildered, her voice tinged with melancholy: "Huh? This..."

“You’ve done very well and been very careful.” The Lord of Storms immediately understood what Lori was worried about. “We all know that you have no intention of provoking us.”

In this world, no deity will doubt your attitude. Besides, we've long been accustomed to the human condition where, when we're useful, the gods are inviolable, but when we're useless, the gods might violate our virtues.

Even idiots don't care, so why would they care about such a small problem of yours?

But those Outer Gods are different.

The Lord of Storms sighed softly: "Lori, no matter how well we prepare, we can't stop all the Outer Gods from entering our world."

The reason we are so relaxed now is that the gods who want to enter all have something to ask of this place, not any grudges.

They must also abide by the rules set by the will of the world, so they cannot act so recklessly.

But that won't work after the world opens up; our strength is not enough to stop those powerful gods who can easily cross the stars to come to other worlds.

The only option is to find a way to suppress the more critical rules.

But those cold, dark things... things that would cause us primordial gods to immediately lose ourselves if we touched them, we can only let them go.

Being able to occupy the central area with the Lord of Ice is already the result of our best efforts.

Unfortunately, the tower...

Or rather, the death of that advisor in the tower was too unexpected.

But no one could have foreseen the calamity of the gods falling!

The position of the High Tower was inherently prone to problems, but if that guy were still around, the High Tower wouldn't be without a chance to get rid of that position before the final moment arrived.

However… that accident was also somewhat related to the mage.

Lori thought for a moment and understood: "The mages definitely want him to die quickly."

Although the celestial magic ruins that Al-Saran has been searching for have some problems, the magic ruins on the ground have not truly disappeared completely.

In addition, there was the knowledge emanating from those artifact fragments... Even if there were gaps in the transmission, the mages knew that they could have possessed such a wonderful tool as the magic tower.

Unfortunately, a magic tower master who seized power amidst the chaos completely ruined their otherwise glorious path as mages.

It's unclear whether it's because of that outsider, but the Tower Master has an exceptionally comprehensive understanding of magic towers, covering everything that uses elemental pools as an energy source.

No matter how much the monks tried, they couldn't escape his cacophony of world.

Finally, war broke out immediately.

It looks like it almost succeeded.

Although in the end only the advisor was strangled, it gave the mages a future.

If that guy were alive today, mages wouldn't have such an easy life... Since the Lord of Storms pointed out that the advisor would successfully shift the blame, it's clear that the other party already had a preliminary plan.

Just like the chosen ones of the goddess of magic in Toril.

Sometimes, no matter how strong they are, they cannot resist the choices that fate brings.

Lowry suddenly smiled: "It's a good thing you died."

Even if the Goddess of the Night were standing right in front of him, he would still dare to say that... He no longer believed that the Goddess of the Night truly liked that tower advisor.

The true goddess of the night is that ambitious woman who immediately took action upon suspecting his identity and origins, attempting to capture another outsider.

What she couldn't forget, and what she truly regretted, was the knowledge about gods in that person's mind.

If that guy were still alive, she might have been able to avoid many detours when researching the Silver Moon fragments.

All her romantic relationships and affections served her grand ambitions.

Lowry admired her unwavering will, but had no interest whatsoever in becoming a stepping stone on her path to greatness.

The Lord of Storms shook his head: "Their path is one of seeking and testing in the most dangerous places; the chances of failure are much greater than the chances of success."

But back then, we were hoping that at least one of the two could stay.

Otherwise..."

He circled the crystal ball in Lori's hand once: "We don't need to go through all that trouble protecting the Lord of Ice's life anymore."

Although he's not incapable, the connections he's involved in are far too wide.

The reason why the White Dragon King has become so composed over the years is because he knows that only his own son can occupy the evil side of this world!

That rain... it really did the White Dragon King a huge favor.

No, actually, it should be called the dark night.

But at that time, An Ye was already in a state of emotional turmoil because of the loss of her beloved man, and the cold side of darkness gradually took over... They were satisfied as long as they could vent their negative emotions and rediscover their Silver Moon side because of this incident.

There's no way I could argue with her.
