Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 689 The Gods Profited from the Disaster
This is not possible!
Reaching out to touch the seashell at his waist, the sea man sighed, "I have no idea who it could be. Those guys are capable of doing something like this."

The goddess of fortune's eyes lit up, and she took the bait.

Then she had the leisure to glance at the chaotic dimensional space, and pursed her lips slightly: "Having fun?"

Such occasional impulses from the Lord of Storms are nothing unusual for them.

Normally, the Lord of the Earth could suppress him.

After all, the Lord of Storms has a temper that comes and goes quickly, and he can stop when he is blocked by innocent people.

The Lord of the Earth probably wanted to stop it.

Unfortunately, the goddess of the night who gave her the elbow strike didn't want to.

She even enthusiastically scattered moonlight, making the ice shards and icicles flying in the gale gleam.

That's truly impressive; to be able to reflect things so precisely at a point-to-point level.

But it's really boring.

The most boring one is the Lord of the Earth, who actually lets the Goddess of Night do whatever she wants just because she doesn't want to... The Goddess of Night developed this bad habit entirely because of the excessive pampering of her brothers.

Only the sun god had a shred of reason, and he ordered her to stop as soon as she started acting crazy.

But the earth and the storms paid no heed to any of this.

However, it's understandable; although they both seem relatively calm, they each have their own eccentricities.

The Goddess of Wealth turned to look at the Ice Lord, who was looking aggrieved after being hit by her ice shards, and then at the unrecognizable crystal palace. She pondered for a moment and said, "You finally managed to reconcile with Lori. Are you planning to start all over again?"

The goddess of the night, who was full of enthusiasm, paused for a moment and finally stopped her twitching fingers.

The Lord of Earth breathed a sigh of relief and swiftly erected a stone wall around the Lord of Storms... made of cheap silver.

A loud buzzing sound suddenly rang out.

Startled, Lori immediately raised the inner defensive panel of the Crystal Palace, isolating the terrifying sound from the outside.

"What the hell?" Travis wailed, covering his ears.

Lily couldn't help but roll around on the ground a few times to relieve the ringing in her ears.

“Silver, a noisy, empty tunnel of minerals.” Lori’s expression remained unchanged, but his mind was a jumble of thoughts… The Outer Gods who died on that battlefield back then, while they did bring enormous trouble to this world, also brought enough benefits!

Although the bustling tunnel is an extremely dangerous treasure trove, you can definitely find some good stuff there!
The gods who came to participate in the war in the outer realms could not possibly be unaware of how dangerous their involvement was.

And since they are unlikely to be completely wiped out and always have a glimmer of hope, it is even more normal for them to leave behind a treasure vault that can be found by location and password after reincarnation.

Gods, in the years before, you captured so many people who were parasitized or controlled by the incomplete artifacts... Finding even a tiny clue from them wouldn't be a problem.

This world's connection to the River Styx and the Elemental Realm is somewhat unstable.

Not only is the signal extremely weak, but it is also intermittent.

This has resulted in elemental creatures largely ignoring the call from this world... What prevents them from returning may not be the mage's greed, but rather the disconnected network.

The tributaries of the Styx River have never been able to flow in.

However, when they can connect to the internet, the gods are not entirely unable to use these two places as stepping stones to open specific passages to the Noisy Void Tunnel... Just like a dedicated demiplane, as long as the door is installed and the password is set, the spatial door to that place can be opened from anywhere.

And a deity capable of opening a treasure vault in a noisy, empty tunnel must have an abundance of silver in hand.

Judging from the Earth Lord's ability to turn wasteful money into a wall, he must have made a considerable fortune from this disaster.

This is still the Lord of the Earth!

Is he essentially the Lord of Wind and Storms?

Although his mood might be slightly affected in that stormy land, he truly thrived there!
Damn it... they kept saying Lowry was too rich!

Lowry's face immediately hardened: He's being treated like a child!
Travis glanced at Lowry's expression and decisively swallowed the question he was about to ask... He'd better go and check with Luscania himself!

Since Lowry said that, it must be something he couldn't find out.

Travis returned quickly.

Then he put on the same sour face as Lori... No wonder the gods never looked down on human sacrifices, except for that broken artifact fragment.

The Northern Kingdom alone has presented at least twenty kinds of artifact-related items over the years!
As the hardest-hit area, the south will receive even more aid.

Then he quickly realized... Fortunately, humans don't have the ability to open that dimension.

There are indeed many hidden treasures there, but there are even more places where dangerous people or out-of-control artifacts are imprisoned.

One careless move could lead to a disaster that could cause the complete collapse of a country.

People are more important, though. Travis suddenly tilted his head and asked in a strange tone, "Lorry, do you think the White Dragon King knows about this?"

“What good will it do to know?” Lowry chuckled. “If he dares to go treasure hunting in the Noisy Sky Tunnel, his dear mother will just parachute right over his head.”

He won't go; at most, he'll try to sell the portal.

"Oh...oh!" Travis immediately fell silent.

Lowry glanced at him briefly.

Lily, hiding behind him, tugged at his shirt with her fingertips: "Did he... go to comfort my mother?"

Lori nodded almost imperceptibly: "Luscania must be very disappointed."

“Luckily, my mother didn’t know before,” Lily said thankfully. “Otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t have chosen to stay on Earth.”

Then, we won't be included~

"No..." Lori patted her big head reassuringly, "Compared to the unknown wealth, Luscania would definitely choose Travis's wish."

She's the most determined white dragon I've ever seen!

A dragon that can watch its treasure vault being emptied of gold and silver without going mad to stop it, a dragon that can watch humans, whom it could crush with a single claw, flaunting expensive jewelry in front of it without flinching... it's practically the holy dragon among the five dragons!
Luscania is an absolute exception.

Her possessiveness and greed are not quite like Tiamat's.

This must be something ingrained in her, otherwise her three children wouldn't be so well-behaved.

Lily and the other two understood from a young age that what's mine is mine, what's yours is yours, and what's not given to me can't be taken without permission... This isn't something a normal white dragon would naturally understand.

However, the way Luscania was born could easily have resulted in the baby dragon being born with something lacking, but it was unexpected that it would be so perfect.

Moreover, it's not that she doesn't love gold and silver jewelry.

Although she wasn't the one who would be chosen, Lily still lay down contentedly... at least her birth wasn't an accident, but a destined joy.

She naturally felt a little more affection for her two older brothers.

Bobo and Weiss can't be called cold-blooded animals, but their hearts are indeed quite hard.

Although she can get along with anyone and is quite enthusiastic when playing, those feelings come and go quickly, and she is easily forgotten once she is no longer in their sight.

Only those who are genuinely good to them can, over time, enter their hearts.

But it wouldn't make them feel too bad about losing it; at most, they would feel a little regret, but they would forget about it soon.

But Lily couldn't; she would keep wondering why.

Lowry always took her with him, just so she wouldn't be upset about it... The children who played with Lily back then weren't very talented, and most of them had reached the age of starting families and careers, and were burdened with the responsibility of having and raising children.

Moreover, most of them will not give up their jobs; on the contrary, they will work even harder.

Women in this world understand from a young age that only by holding onto their own money can they avoid losing their lives. Even those aristocratic girls who are somewhat love-struck would never hand over their dowry to the man for control.

Busy work and life naturally cause them to gradually distance themselves from their childhood playmates who are still minors and just want to continue playing.

It's not that they don't like Lily anymore, it's just that having fun is something most people would give up on first.

Lori knew that Lily would eventually understand, which was why most immortal beings were indifferent to emotions.

Therefore, when the maids in the castle began to be replaced... the older maids would generally choose jobs with more stable hours, while the castle needed someone to do things all the time.

Therefore, even though Lori doesn't have any special requirements for her servants and doesn't care whether they are married or have children, they will still naturally change at this stage.

Fortunately, there will always be a place for these girls in his castle, until they grow old and choose to retire.

However, Lowry was unwilling to let Lily develop too deep a relationship with the new group of children.

Those who had gone through hardships with him before.

When he was being harassed by the Church of the Dark Night, the Church of Wealth, and the Church of the Earth, some of his followers and servants chose to leave.

Those who remained were mostly people who felt that the lord had offended those churches because of their conscience, as well as a group who firmly believed that Lori would make it to the end.

And then there are the knights' families.

Whatever the reason for staying, Lowry did indeed have a stronger emotional attachment to these people.

Even though many of the children entering the castle now were born and raised by him, Lori didn't seem to care that much anymore.

He would definitely start severing ties between these children and Lily and the others, unless he determines that they are the type who are aiming for a career.

There's no need to subject three children to similar torment twenty years later.
