Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 713 His Majesty the King Wants to Get Rid of His Bad Reputation
Although Lowry had only met one queen, the charming lady left a deep impression on him.

She was a girl who still left a deep impression on him, even though he had seen the famous first beauty of Sebefia and was surrounded by many other beauties!
Even though he always thought his mother, Iagore, was the most charming, Lori admitted that it was because he had a natural preference for the kind of beautiful, dashing women.

Beauty is inherently diverse and colorful.

Even if it's not a matter of preference, it can't be denied.

So when he first met the queen, his first thought was that Travis was truly blessed.

However, this beautiful woman only lived for ten years by Travis's side.

This one has lived for quite a long time!

Perhaps some queens weren't that beautiful, but they certainly weren't that much less so.

So, Travis, who has been enjoying all the lustful moments, is actually being hailed as a Casanova?
Who are they trying to humiliate?!

Even someone as thick-skinned as Travis felt he couldn't handle the rumor after hearing it and tried to suppress it several times.

Unfortunately, he had been in a position of power for too long, and his understanding of human nature had become skewed. He didn't understand the meaning of "the bigger the reaction, the more real the matter."

Of course, there are definitely a lot of people who don't like Travis involved in this.

Just like on social media platforms in the past, for something to suddenly rise to the top of the trending topics, it's either extremely important to most people, or it means that an adversary is going to suffer the consequences.

If it's not a social issue, but rather an entertainment star, then it's basically a combination of both.

Travis is a case in point.

Despite being the King of the North, a figure of great importance in the region, and respected by the people of neighboring countries, once he leaves the Northern Hemisphere, who cares who he is!
With the king's covenant in place and the gods above, no matter how powerful the Northern Kingdom was, it could not affect the peaceful and prosperous life of the Southern Kingdom.

Most people don't really care what Travis did.

However, if the gossip about the head of state of a distant country is brought up by someone nearby, most people would certainly be willing to talk about it with relish.

Once it becomes something everyone is talking about, then naturally... it will become a fixed image in the public eye.

So, although this matter is small, it is still quite serious for Travis, who wants to become a god.

In other words, the laws he pursues don't really care about public opinion... If he really wants to follow the path of a god of royalty and nobility, then something terrible will definitely happen.

Ultimately, it might become a closed pantheon like Ammu, where divine and royal authority are combined.

That pantheon certainly seemed to have formidable fighting power, and the chief god sitting on the throne possessed supreme authority.

But whether the power lies with the deity itself or with the throne remains unknown.

Just like from Uranus to Zeus... in the end, the only thing that is truly invincible is Thor's hammer!
Moreover, there are almost no chief gods who have been able to continue to rule from the moment they ascend the throne until the very end.

Not to mention Greece, even Amn and Mulholland have changed masters.

If they were truly as powerful as they appeared, why did they die more frequently than their subjects?
Toril's two famous clowns, Ambori and Maura, are still alive and kicking today!
Just by looking at the results, one can understand the flaws of this pantheon.

Lowry didn’t understand why Travis was so wary of this, and why he still firmly denied it even when he realized it was difficult to handle, and even publicly protested to some countries and churches.

It was only when I saw Travis handling some matters in person that I thought of these things.

Although it may seem like a small matter, if Travis acts indifferent, the day he is deified could very well become his tacit agreement.

The laws of nature do not recognize things that do not exist, but if a special atmosphere is created, it can temporarily blind the laws of nature.

Therefore, Travis had to maintain his own stance on this in order to be able to dispel the fog of confusion with a single sentence at that time.

However, rather than being constantly on guard, Travis certainly hopes that something will happen to completely suppress that nonsense.

The Lord of the Tower, an evil god who has committed atrocities in every country, is the perfect catalyst.

Even if one of the gods were secretly plotting against him, the other party could only choose to remain silent and would not do anything to sabotage the matter.

After all, if the sea people weren't lying, then the tower must also be connected to the gods of other realms.

That was a betrayal of the entire world.

A god who still wants to live well in this world will not put himself in danger of 'colluding with the Lord of the Tower'.

Lowry gave Travis a sympathetic look and silently acquiesced.

Travis couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Lowry is such a fun kid!
He would say that no matter what.

This child always approaches people and things from an outsider's perspective.

After uncovering a big secret, Lowry's reaction wasn't 'Am I in a position to take advantage of this?', but rather 'Wow, I see.'

And that was it. Because he felt these things had nothing to do with him, he would pretend he didn't see them, even if he saw many opportunities.

But how could a normal person not be tempted by the prospect of getting hundreds or thousands of gold coins just by saying a few words and stretching out their arm?
No matter how much money he has, it doesn't stop him from wanting to be even richer.

Being extremely wealthy doesn't mean a person wouldn't pick up a gold coin at their feet... Many people wouldn't even let a copper coin go unless someone was watching and they needed to maintain the appearance of a rich person.

Lori isn't the kind of saint who treats money like dirt and claims to be full after drinking a little bit of the north wind... In Luscania's words, even elemental creatures would risk having their cores dug out by humans to work for mages in order to obtain energy crystals!
There's no such thing as someone who doesn't want anything!
Lowry is not like that either; he just thinks differently from most people.

It's probably the angelic side of my blood that's at work.

Travis can now understand a little why Lowry is so unmoved and hasn't made any move to dig into the secrets of his bloodline... The thought that his bloodline ends with a pair of angels and dragons who have inexplicably fallen for each other makes him lose all motivation.

It's better to leave everything unknown; at least you can comfort yourself that your ancestors were probably still normal.

Lowry's complex yet simple, conflicting yet singular personality is indeed interesting, but Travis also feels that if two such conflicting people appeared in front of him, and then they were a couple... that would be an absolute disaster.

The most terrifying thing is that he can't beat him and can only let him do his thing.

I wonder if the end of the gods is... because boredom drives people crazy.

Even the Nine-Faced Dragon God Aio isn't quite normal.

Then he belatedly realized that he had actually placed such high regard on the two bloodline origins of Lori… This extremely natural thought must have been Luscania’s heart’s blood reminding and warning him.

He slightly restrained his unrestrained thoughts and glanced at Lowry: "Lowry, how much do you know about my plans?"

"Huh?" Lori looked up blankly. "If you want to deal with the Lord of the Tower, then go ahead and deal with him! Do you expect me to solve your problems for you?"

Travis smiled. "I thought you would do it for Pat..."

“Mama Pat, although the situation isn’t good, it’s not something you can hurt with your few moves.” Lori tilted her head and looked at him. “You’re not going to risk your life there yourself, are you?”

At most, it will cause some trouble and enrage the Church of the Tower.

So what can they do?

"Get angry once, then get angry again?"

As members of a cult that is universally reviled and used as experience-boosting targets by countless Pillars of Light, they have long been accustomed to this treatment.

Whatever inspiration Travis gained from this matter, he would only let his subordinates, at most high-ranking spies from the Tower Church, handle it.

At most, they could set off two large fireworks, but that probably wouldn't even get close to the Tower Lord.

As long as the Lord of the Tower remains safe, Pat, who will always be by his side, will naturally be safe as well.

Travis looked at Lowry with a puzzled expression.

The Lowry he knew should have been very concerned about the woman's safety until Pat did something that would harm them!

His informants had also told him that Pat's status in that secret base wasn't special, and he wasn't as valued as Kyle...Lorry's little nephew.

I've been staying in the outer valley the whole time.

Although they are under strict protection, important figures such as the high priest stay in the inner valley.

So, Lowry's knowledge of Pat's situation is entirely based on guesswork, and she doesn't know anything about it at all?
Travis never expected that Pat would never contact Lowry again after leaving.

Feather... Did Lori really remove Pat from the Knights' roster as he said?

Travis had always believed that Lowry had secretly compiled a list of members, and had only nominally expelled Pat!

How could he be so honest?

Lowry isn't that kind of inflexible person!
Thinking of this, Travis couldn't help but ask, "You really don't care about your mother Pat's situation in the Valley of Mystery?"

Mysterious Valley?

Is it the name of the Tower Lord's secret base?

Lori felt that the name had a special meaning, and her thoughts were quickly drawn away, leaving only her casual mouth: "Mama Pat, if you can't stay over there and want to turn over a new leaf and come back to me, I will definitely welcome you with open arms."

But before that, I don’t intend to give the impression that I will tolerate some tolerable evil.

Evil is evil.

Kill those who need to be killed, throw away those who need to be thrown away.

Travis glanced at Lowry warily... Why does this kid sound a bit like the Lord of Valor?

When did they first meet?
Um, Evelyn Costa!
Should he stay to prevent Lowry from being led down that path of no return?
