Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 688 The Sea People Who Believed Some of It

The Lord of Ice laughed with obvious schadenfreude, which naturally earned him a sigh from the God of Earth: "Don't be like that. Before you mock him, take a look at yourself."

The Lord of Ice, who had been mocked so closely, snapped to shut up. His attention immediately turned to arguing with the Lord of Earth about who was really at the bottom, and he had no interest in thinking about whether the Lord of Knowledge's misfortune was due to internal or external factors.

In any case, all he cares about is the result.

After all, in his view, the Ice Dog King's betrayal was not an accident at all, but an inevitable result of fighting against the Rain Goddess.

Although the dog might not betray you.

But choosing between two options is inherently the worst possible proposition.

Over the years, he has not failed to cultivate Ice Dog King's independent thinking, hoping to help his muddled mind understand some principles and reasoning.

However, a puppy that is unwilling to use its brain and only likes to follow the commands in its head is still unable to make independent judgments.

The Lord of Ice had actually envisioned letting the Ice Dog King experience real human society, and he actually convinced a naive and foolish couple to accept a reincarnated evil god son.

Unfortunately, the Montes household was indeed in such a chaotic state that it gave him an opportunity, but it was far too chaotic.

It was originally a tangled mess of yarn, but one thread, though not the longest, was definitely the thickest and suddenly pulled itself out and ran away.

Among a bunch of messy balls of yarn, this suddenly flattened ball of yarn became extremely conspicuous. Everyone looked over and tried to untangle it, and the dust hidden inside was naturally shaken out.

The yarn definitely needs to be cleaned again, and the dust will naturally be swept away.

It really was a waste of his efforts.

Of course, the most important thing is still that damned tower!
Originally, he wouldn't have been exposed so quickly, and it might have even given Ice Dog King a chance to be born!
If the Ice Dog King were to officially appear in this world as a baby, he might gain a tiny bit more of a human touch.

However, in order to prevent his Kyle from being exposed, the tower blamed everything that was abnormal on the pregnant woman!
Storm's bishop is a piece of trash.

You've already found one problematic guy, why don't you check if there's a second one?

The Lord of Ice, who was spouting nonsense in his mind, suddenly shuddered, only to find that the Lord of Storms was looking at him thoughtfully... Damn swirling wind, why is it so sensitive?

"Why are you looking at him?" The Goddess of the Night chuckled. "Frost has always been a bit thoughtless, saying whatever comes to mind. Why get angry?"

The Lord of Storms gave her a helpless look.

They both knew that, given the Ice Lord's way of thinking, once the Earth Lord shifted the focus to a so-called 'outcome' comparison, the Ice Lord would definitely complain about the Ice Dog King's lack of brains.

Furthermore, he will definitely blame this brainlessness entirely on the Goddess of Rain, completely ignoring the fact that when he created the Ice Dog King, he didn't give him two intelligence points... Although his intelligence wasn't high, at least he had some!
Then he would surely blame the Lord of Storms, and the Goddess of Night who had allowed the rain to fall.

However, since the Lord of Frost knows very well that he could not have been born without the indulgence of the Goddess of Night, he usually focuses his curses on the Lord of Storms with a certain degree of restraint.

Therefore, the Lord of Storms is watching him not because he can sense the curses in the guy's mind, but because he knows that the guy will definitely do it.

The Goddess of Night was well aware of this, so while continuing this tacit cooperation, she also took the opportunity to mock the Lord of Storms.

What can the Lord of Storms do?

He could only snort coldly and then added, "At least the Lord of Knowledge has a Mountain of Scrolls, what about him?"

They couldn't even protect a single dimensional space.

Lori managed to get in with such a simple jump spell... I was just thinking of laughing at that kid!
To my surprise, it was me who was truly astonished.

He already had a divine position and rank, yet the hiding place he prepared for himself couldn't even stop a mage who wasn't at max level!

If anyone inside the Star Fortress harbors malicious intentions, then he…

Oh no, I've really made myself angry!
A hurricane suddenly swept around the Lord of Storms, instantly bringing up ice shards and icicles all over the ground, transforming into an ice tornado that swept across the entire dimensional space.

"Control your emotions! Storm!" The Earth Lord, who had been trying to take control of the situation and hoped that the Lord of Ice wouldn't be so ungrateful, turned around in astonishment... What's wrong with Storm?
What does it mean when someone gets so immersed in their role that they become completely absorbed in the performance?
With a constant smile on her face, the Goddess of Wealth used her divine power to suppress the seaman, preventing him from hearing anything clearly or in detail. Annoyed, she nudged the annoying Goddess of Night with her elbow.

What kind of time is this to be acting so recklessly!

Although they achieved their goal 200%, it wasn't anything important, so why bother with the storm's polluted air?
Then the Goddess of Wealth was almost knocked away by an even more vicious elbow strike, but luckily she was wearing thick clothes and her lower body was very stable.

She then realized... Dark Night was still out of balance, so it was normal for it to be acting irrationally.

Taking a deep breath, the Goddess of Wealth revealed a dignified smile to the Sea Man amidst the chaos: "So, do you know which of your colleagues is responsible for turning Scroll Mountain into this mess?"

The sea creature glanced, bewildered, at the chaotic, disorganized dimensional space and the crystal palace being battered by countless ice shards that resembled flying sand and stones… Especially the dimmed array aura and faint cracks appearing on the palace's exterior, a result of the divine attack. He was at least 80% certain: the explosion of Scroll Mountain was indeed the work of their side. A sudden chill ran down his spine.

Indeed, Triton was not very willing to let Poseidon win a great victory, but that didn't mean he didn't want to profit from it!
Triton doesn't care how much harm he causes to the world.

Therefore, even if there isn't much to take back, since it already requires human effort, taking even a penny more is a bonus.

As a deity, and one who seeks faith, Scroll Mountain must possess abundant resources.

Not to mention, the Lord of Knowledge makes a living by selling books.

It's easy to imagine how wealthy that place must be.

If we can really bring back mountains of gold and silver to Triton, then wouldn't that be doing Poseidon a great favor?
Just because they don't want that aquaman to gain power doesn't mean they have to do everything in their power to prevent him from taking it!
Hai Ren felt a surge of impatience.

He was one of the earlier direct descendants of Triton, so he was very familiar with the suspicious nature of the sea god's lineage and knew even better that they had no regard for their reputation... Greek gods are generally very good at lying to each other without batting an eye, and even when caught red-handed, they can still use their silver tongues to exonerate themselves.

When Triton said he would give Poseidon a human army if he lost the battle, he probably made up his mind that no matter what the outcome, he had to give it to Poseidon.

Hai Ren could understand Triton's decision.

After all, he had only known Poseidon for a short time, yet he had already come to understand just how shameless he was.

Triton would not have offered to give Poseidon a descendant family that he had offspring; it was only possible that Poseidon wanted it himself.

Even if Triton gives his all in this invasion and actually helps Poseidon win, Poseidon will still demand his men back later.

After all, Poseidon could certainly come up with a reason like, "Since you've agreed, it's clear these people aren't essential to you, so how can you not help your parents?"

What even a seaman can understand, Triton can understand even better.

Therefore, those who ultimately remained with him were not only capable individuals who understood his thoughts perfectly, but also those who were more loyal, more obedient, and more capable of generating benefits for him.

And he, although he always did a very good job on the surface, tried so hard in this world that he would cry whenever he thought about it.

However, their branch also had the most complex relationship and the most frequent communication with the undead of Oises.

His beloved daughter even had a child with the archmage favored by Oiseus!
Although everyone eventually went back to their original places, a relationship is a relationship.

No matter how clean you make it on the surface, it's useless if the original person is no longer around.

Of course, this connection was very beneficial to them when they were in Oiseus.

After all, Triton was unwilling to break ties with the undead.

Although they are much smaller now, everyone knows that if something happens, they can fill the entire Oises in an instant.

However, the undead don't have such good memories either.

After not seeing each other for a few days, the people from the sea became strangers to them.

Although some sea creatures have developed unique bonds with them, normal people simply cannot understand the logic behind it.

For example, those sea people who guard the resource islands, they fight to the death every time, killing countless undead and being beaten to the brink of death by countless undead... yet the undead respect them the most.

Other sea people and undead have to go through several rounds of procedures to deal with each other, but those guardians can communicate directly.

Even after dealing with these undead for several years, the sea people still couldn't understand them.

But he can understand Triton.

Their relationship with the undead was neither good enough to make Triton wary, but it was also so good that it aroused his suspicion.

That's why he's putting in so much effort to impress everyone this time.

His loyalty has indeed been recognized by Triton.

But... what if someone is completely brainless yet willing to pay any price for Triton's approval?

Between ability and loyalty, those in power often choose the strongest ability over basic loyalty.

But if loyalty is so profound that it moves heaven and earth, then it's a sign that the person in power still has some sense to lower the bar to a passing grade.

He himself was once a king, how could he not understand this?
