Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 693 Returns to Gezar

The Lord of the Tower and the Lord of Knowledge are both deities associated with magic-based professions.

In the past, mages often liked to casually believe in the Lord of Knowledge, so that they could get a discount when buying materials and skills from the library.

Therefore, during that period, monks and scholars, as the right and left arms of the masters of knowledge, both restrained and cooperated with each other.

This is also the main reason why the Lord of Knowledge dared to play such tricks on the path to godhood.

As long as two groups of people who would never unite submit to him, the Lord of Knowledge, who can be pulled in both directions, will remain invincible.

As a result, the Lord of the Tower suddenly gave himself the title of Lord of the Magic Tower.

After realizing they couldn't stop him, the mages tried to ask the Lord of Knowledge to help split the divine office.

The laws are all controlled by a single god, and the damage inflicted on mages is completely different from that of all other gods associated with mages who grant themselves a magic tower.

At that time, although there were some weak gods such as the God of Law, the only one who could possibly snatch or even tear apart a certain divine office from the Lord of the Tower was the Lord of Knowledge.

However, just as the Lord of Storms would never want to add any useless divine duties to his own duties, the Lord of Knowledge, who has some understanding of the will of the world, also doesn't like to create so much trouble for himself.

All he could do was help these mages who wanted to kill the Tower Lord locate the guy's hiding place and help them conceal their murderous intent.

Actually, he did quite well, but the final result was still unsatisfactory.

The one who died was the only loyal advisor who could control the tower's madness, someone whose conscience was unclear or who had a problem.

And, a large majority of the high-ranking followers of the Lord of Knowledge.

The rest of them, although they gave up fighting the Lord of the Tower and went into the Astral Plane to build fortresses, also gave up their faith in the Lord of Knowledge!

With no one to turn to for help, the sorcerers, left only to save themselves, lived a miserable and desolate existence.

Having lost a major pillar, even the Lord of Knowledge, left only with fickle scholars, is having a difficult time.

Therefore, ever since then, the Lord of Knowledge has been causing trouble for the Lord of the Tower within his own power.

The Lord of the Tower, having lost his beloved advisor, would certainly not let go of the Lord of Knowledge, his accomplice behind the scenes.

Therefore, when Scroll Mountain had problems, no one thought that the Lord of the Tower would not have been involved.

Since it's an accepted fact, the sea man still insists on emphasizing the involvement of the evil god, which is tantamount to saying that if the gods haven't caught the real culprit who caused the chaos in Scroll Mountain, then the real culprit must be hiding with the Lord of the Tower.

In recent years, the people that the Lord of the Tower has gathered in his secret base, besides Kyle, are the girls from the Gezar family.

Although there are certainly other people, the Lord of the Tower is always very careful, and he only allows unawakened children into his secret base, apart from his accredited followers.

Even though the artifact fragments Rosalind possessed were so powerful, containing a fragment of rain's soul, they only gradually appeared to tempt her as she approached adulthood.

Children's souls are not stable enough, and their mental energy is even more prone to chaos. It's not that we can't do something to them, but it would be too obvious. Someone like the Lord of the Tower would be able to see it very easily.

In particular, these children have to walk into the awakening array he built himself, all under the watchful eye of the tower!

Even the slightest problem will basically not pass his approval.

So, in the end, they returned to Gezar.

Suppressing the urge to turn back and look at the Crystal Palace, Travis gave a polite smile: "Thank you, Lord of the Tower?"

He originally thought that Gezar's human experimentation was learned from Schröder.

But he tried to recall what seemed to have scared the Gale Wolf so much that it rushed straight for Lowry; it was more like the two guys crouching under Watson Castle.

The mummified wolves whose souls were extracted but who could still obey commands seemed somewhat like a local, weakened version of the sea people in front of them.

What Schroeder wanted was probably just the storm-related properties in Gezar's body... The rest was probably Count Gezar's private research using the Schroeder family as a shield.

Sebefia's involvement likely came later, perhaps after she had already begun exploring the area.

After all, these guys are well-informed and very good at spotting evil.

Then came Rosalind's matter.

This aligns with Travis's later investigation... No matter how he investigated, he could only find information about Sophia after she went to Rosalind's side.

Previously, they did not have a close relationship; it was merely a matter of minor nobles attaching themselves to the court offering compliments and gifts to every princess and prince.

He thought the contact between the two sides was too secretive, and even suspected that Rosalind's mother coming to his side was a conspiracy, but he couldn't find out no matter what he did. For this reason, he even went so far as to investigate all the court officials at that time and dismiss all the less clean subordinates!

Even knowing that some of the people involved were just innocent bystanders going with the flow, Travis didn't care anymore.

He was genuinely terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

He no longer even felt sad or hesitant about leaving the throne.

He lost his vigilance before he had even been on the throne for a hundred years. Not only did he marry a woman from his enemy's family, but he also had children with her!
If something were to happen, he would not only be inviting a wolf into his house, but he would also be courting death!
Fortunately, although his future path had been determined long ago, he still received some comforting good news... at least back then, Rosalind's maternal clan was not in trouble.

His investigations were flawless. Even if he knew the truth, he certainly wouldn't change his mind, much less exonerate those unfortunate officers... After all, every charge against them was true, but at least he himself felt much better!

Travis pondered for a moment before cheerfully asking, "So, you arrived around the time Rosalind was getting married, right?"

Hai Ren looked at him with surprise and nodded: "If it weren't for the rain, your daughter would actually be quite capable."

She managed the Icefield Royal Palace very well.

She also cleverly released Sofia and helped the Sebefia family fight against the rain.

The rain originally wanted to completely engulf her, but the rain had no control over Sophia at all, and even the court officials knew how to fool her.

Praise her relentlessly, until she gives you benefits without even thinking, and dares to relinquish any power.

As a result, the Icefield Palace was thrown into chaos, and King Alex had to manage the palace affairs himself.

Then, King Alex put his lover on the throne, and to show respect for his wife, he took her personal maid into his bedchamber, and then let that woman manage the harem along with his other mistresses.

After discovering the rain, Rosalind caused a huge commotion before being released.

It was Baron Watson who gave her some confidence, which is why she gradually shifted her focus back to the North.

Travis wanted to sigh, but he couldn't feel much sympathy for Rosalind.

The dangers of the artifact fragments, and even the methods used to lure people into them, were all taught to each member of the royal family from a young age.

Fragments of divine artifacts are not unusable, but they must pass the examination of the royal high priests and be witnessed by the church.

This is something that ordinary nobles, and even some of the great nobles, don't know, but it's common knowledge for members of the royal family.

It's understandable that the same thing happened to Lowry, since even though Travis later noticed Lowry's little tricks, he didn't say anything to warn her, but just kept a close watch on her.

There's nothing wrong with that. Although he likes Lowry very much, he wouldn't go so far as to break royal rules and the tacit understanding of the King's Alliance for him.

The best Travis could do was to suggest that Lowry go to a special library to read books carefully.

Lowry understood this, so even though she knew she might have been in danger, she didn't resent Travis and was still willing to be his friend.

But when it happened to Rosalind, it was absolutely unforgivable!
She knew the consequences, yet she still continued to do it.

Rosalind was not the kind of pitiful princess who was neglected or even bullied by minor nobles and court servants.

Among her many siblings, she was considered one of the most beloved.

Whatever outcome she gets now, it's her own choice.

Therefore, upon hearing the news of his old friend from the seaman, Travis could only manage a smile to express his complex emotions: "There's no going back on the path of life."

The sea people, focused on Travis, failed to notice the dark goddess's piercing eyes and her nimble, darting pupils.

The Lord of Storms calmly glared at her, subtly suppressing any nonsense that Dark Night might blurt out.

The Goddess of Wealth looked left and right, then suddenly laughed: "Lowry must be feeling terrible right now."

Not really.

Lori, who had been lifted up, held Lily's large head and fell into deep thought... Pat is definitely fine.

The Lord of the Tower once said that he watched Lowry grow up.

That clearly means he was watching Lowry from behind Pat's eyes.

Although these words were implicitly a threat... I know everything about you.

But at least it proves that the tower often appears on Pat.

Lowry even kept a lot of things from her own mother! Not to mention Pat.

If that guy in the tower really thinks that what Pat sees in Lowry is his everything, he's definitely going to make a big mistake later.

Lowry really hoped that the Tower would believe his own eyes.

The only one who had even the slightest connection to him was Anise.

Lady Yages's cousin, and Count Gezar's biological daughter.

But this guy is too obvious a target, and he has been affected and tested the most, so the Lord of the Tower will definitely keep monitoring him.

There shouldn't be any problems.

What if the other Gezars have problems?

However, the distant relatives she had met decades ago had no effect on Mrs. Yages's mood, and therefore no effect on him.
