Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 719 Valera Affected

Valera shook her head: "Then she shouldn't pretend to be completely sincere towards my sister, that it's just pure friendship with no conflicts of interest."

If she…

Travis suddenly asked softly, "Were you influenced by your plant companion?"

Valera paused for a moment, then suddenly shut her mouth, unable to utter a single word.

She does seem a bit off.

Although she had always been very concerned about her younger siblings' social circles and didn't want them to encounter bad friends, she had never gone to such extremes.

Even when Sofia first appeared, she thought she would let Chesca see how unpredictable people can be and not always be so sincere.

Although her reaction was aggravated by matters involving her younger siblings, her disgust for Sophia had surpassed her wariness of the woman who dared to reach into her protective circle.

A bit too aloof.

So that's because of Microlo?

"Your natural partner must have strong purification abilities, right? So this is normal."

Nature mages are indeed easily influenced by their companions, especially those with a positive, natural mindset.

Your partner is the kind of purifying plant that utterly despises evil and would rather perish than fall into depravity.

Sofia had spent so much time in Watson Castle, and even if she tried to avoid doing things she shouldn't have, she must have inevitably picked up some of them.

The reason no one pursued the matter was because the existence of Evelyn, this hero, proved that she definitely hadn't done anything intentionally.

People forced into a corner, in order to survive, especially for the sake of their families, have to deal with enemies in ways they shouldn't have to bear... No one would think they are wrong.

But plants are different; they only look at the scent.

I hate things that are mixed together, but I like things that are clean.

But in this world, there are still far more people who have done things against their conscience.

Therefore, most natural mages awaken their powers when they have just reached adulthood.

Having just gained autonomy, and being relatively kind-hearted with no karmic debts to his name...

Of course, there are certainly some unusual plants, but I haven't encountered any yet.

Animal companions can also have similar effects, just not as severe.

After all, animals are more easily influenced by their companions.

But they will inevitably pass on some racial traits to their human friends. Travis chuckled. "Lowry's understanding of bloodlines is too influenced by the dragons."

Those beings with innate, powerful spiritual energy and willpower can quickly distinguish whether something they see or perceive belongs to them, is an illusion, or belongs to their allies.

Travis opened his mouth, then stopped.

He habitually wanted to use Montes, whom he was most familiar with, as an example... that guy's style of doing things was just like a rhinoceros.

They made a decision, even if it meant getting hurt badly, and wouldn't change it.

Such a person should only be fit for the military, but he happens to be a landed baron.

However, the North was frequently at war, so the Montes family was not much different from those in the military.

Until... the war between the two countries was completely over, even the Church of Ice would only come to harass them in small groups.

then……

But Travis also knew that Lowry's men didn't care about Montes's inner thoughts; what mattered were the things he did and the harm he caused.

Even if Lowry himself doesn't care anymore, there are still people who care about him.

So, after thinking about it, he changed his approach: "Although Lowry has contracted with the Gale Wolf, he definitely can't feel the Gale Wolf's bloodline pull at all."

His mother, Iagore, had already undergone a personality change long before he was born.

In addition, during the period when she was in a stable personality, she lived in a military camp, where her will was tempered and refined, so the impact on her was not that great.

But... if it were the former Yagris Gezar, she would never be a loyal wife who places her hopes and feelings on a man who said from the beginning that he would never love her. Do you understand?

She's not that kind of person.

It's not that she would betray her marriage, but after discovering Montes's messy and shady dealings, a normal woman would simply walk away.

Anyway, the marriage was already arranged, the territory had been moved, and the Knights were by her side.

She wasn't the type to get entangled with the people in the castle until the very end.

She might even be a perfect hostess… I didn’t care about their bizarre marriage at first; I just couldn’t believe that Yages would compromise herself like that. 222
Anise, her cousin, was so... dissolute because she suffered a great psychological trauma in her childhood.

But the Gezar family is by nature extremely free.

They are much like the wind in nature.

For Gezar, the Gale Wolf was actually a rope that pulled them back to reality.

Well... although Yagris's father was outrageous, that was just Gezar's true nature—willful, self-centered, and completely unconcerned about what others thought.

I can do whatever I want.

There's a reason why their family territory would be the first to be smashed by the white dragon.

After all, a normal person's first reaction to something like that is to dodge, not to try and see if my knife can pierce its scales. "You know, you used it?" Valera whispered a reminder.

“Don’t worry, even if Luscania were right here, I would still say the same thing.” Travis smiled gently at Valera, who was subtly but firmly reminding him to be careful. “I have always maintained that any race that takes pleasure in killing other races and wantonly destroys human homes does not deserve to be called an intelligent race.”

They are no different from wild beasts.

Luscania had no objection to this.

Travis pondered for a moment, then earnestly told the nature mage before him, "Dragons do not feel ashamed because humans regard them as animals."

They believe that all flesh-and-blood beings in the multiverse are animals.

Having intelligence does not mean being of another race.

Speaking in this way is more like self-comfort; it doesn't actually hurt anyone.

Dragons get angry because they feel you are humiliating them in this way.

Even if he didn't feel humiliated, he deserved to die for daring to offend them.

Do you understand?

Valera nodded seriously: "I understand."

You can do it, but I can't.

I understand now.

Travis suddenly realized that Lowry had really trained his people very well.

Even though her temperament has shifted somewhat due to natural forces, Valera still shows a certain degree of concern for people.

Not many, but very positive, and I'm not worried at all about whether what I say will have a negative effect.

As someone in charge of handling external affairs for Qingfeng Valley, she couldn't possibly encounter someone so ungrateful.

But they still kindly reminded him that he might very well take advantage of the weak.

This is the confidence that Lowry gave her.

Travis suddenly understood how he should manage his subordinates from now on... In the past, he cared too much about his status as king, and even if he took care of his own people, he would do so within certain limits.

He finds it difficult to do something like protecting his subordinates to the end, even making those who wronged them pay a heavy price.

Politics is inherently the art of compromise.

Even though he is powerful enough that he doesn't need to bow to anyone, but...

After that, he won't need to restrict himself so much anymore!

They've all followed him down this narrow path, so what's wrong with taking extra care of him?
Travis vaguely recalled the Storm Lord's handling of the situation, which he hadn't quite understood before, and the Night Goddess's unbridled favoritism... He felt as if he had come to understand some of the truths.

The smile on his face held a hint of sincerity: "So, you understand what I meant by using the Gezar family as a case study, right?"

Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Yages did, it was indeed not in line with her nature, and it was more like the choice a wolf queen would make.

Even though the wolf king herself wasn't much of a character, she still managed to uphold her principles.

Even after Montes' death, Agris' actions regarding Montes' territory were choices a wolf queen would make.

She and her swift wolf were a perfect match.

This is certainly not a bad thing; it could even help her grow rapidly after the world restarts.

Just like him, Luscania ensured that his rank was not restricted.

Moreover, this influence is not negative; it doesn't apply to those who are very particular about their nature and don't need to care about these things at all.

However, it's crucial to understand what will happen to avoid regrets later during the awakening period.

For example, he once looked at his own behavior in his mental world and felt ashamed.

Of course, he has accepted everything now, but he still feels it was better to have known this beforehand.

Travis thought for a moment, then spoke again: "Lowry, he..."

"The Baron said he doesn't know much about nature mages," Valera interrupted him quietly but firmly. "They are a unique product of this world, like blood knights. They may seem plentiful, but they are actually very special."

It should be related to the laws and primordial power of this world.

So let me take a closer look at Mr. Armies.

“Almes, he’s not…” Travis suddenly realized, “Yes, he is indeed a nature mage now.”

Furthermore, this might also be considered an accident from Armes' perspective.

If that guy really cared about Ezra and his wife as much as he claimed, he would never have allowed himself to become a nature mage destined for the royal palace.

But he wasn't surprised by this unexpected event; he calmly accepted reality... which means he knew what was going on.

Travis pondered for a moment and said, "Almes probably knows a great deal about some of the laws of nature... he even knows perfectly well why our world is so special."

Therefore, he can indeed teach you some relevant rules.

This is more useful than the teachings of any naturalist.

After all, learning a few more nature spells wouldn't make much difference to you, would it?
