Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 756 A Heartfelt Desire

Lori was not unaware of the dangers of Toril.

That godforsaken place—if he accidentally takes something he shouldn't, he might be stuck there for the rest of his life.

But he also has his reasons for being confident.

Although the angelic legacy left by the humanoid dragon was not extensive, it gave him extremely keen intuition.

Just like his territory, which he built entirely without any proper design and based on his own random feelings, the final result was the most suitable for him.

It could even allow him to have both an option and a way out.

And these recent events, although his decisions were all impulsive, were all just right.

Of course, most importantly, his angelic bloodline had told him that once he passed level 20 and transcended the mortal realm, he would no longer need to rely entirely on intuition to make decisions.

At that time, he will be able to see the corresponding cause-and-effect relationship in everything he does.

With this guarantee, he would have some protection even if he went to Toril.

Of course, the most important reason is that even if Lowry wanted to go to Trahill, where William and Hill came from, he wouldn't be able to find the way.

Lowry's inherited memories do not contain such new knowledge.

If he wants to get to Trashir, the only way is to find a path through Toril.

Therefore, during this period, he made new plans for the future of the territory.

Lowry had anticipated that if he eventually decided to leave the earth and become a wandering mage in the starry sky, his underlying magic array, designed to extract energy from the icy dimensional space, would fit perfectly into the outer shell of the Starry Sky Fortress.

He hadn't thought about these things before because the Star Fortress couldn't afford such a huge expenditure.

But now, it's different.

He could start considering using the energy pool of the magic circle to sustain the energy consumption of a medium-sized star fortress.

Of course, the most important reason is that the demiplane in his mental sea can prevent some unexpected events.

Lori will definitely be living in the magic tower then, and the Starry Sky Fortress outside will probably be left to Valera to handle, just like it is now.

Recently, Valera has clearly guessed something from the large amount of supplies being transported from Chesca, so she has been very proactive.

It was obvious at a glance that she didn't want to stay on the ground.

Lowry really hadn't expected this.

After all, for a nature mage, being down-to-earth is the best choice for her.

Microco is not like the thousand-thread spider vine.

Although Valera was accompanied by aerial roots that resembled vines, Microlo was, after all, a towering banyan tree.

Although Lori had to consider Lily, who would inevitably follow him, and would try his best to fill the interior of the fortress with spatial magic arrays, the Starry Sky Fortress couldn't give him much more room to grow. It was already quite good that it could meet Microlo's current needs.

Banyan trees can truly stand alone and form a mountain!

Who would have thought that Valera would make such a decision!
Even if Lowry moves to the starry sky, he will definitely set up a teleportation array in Green Maple Territory.

He only took away the lower-level magic array; the part that was openly connected to the national magic array would definitely have been left behind.

Baron Gezar was his mother's obsession, and the homeland he had built with his own hands; Lowry would never give it up.

Therefore, if Valera misses her younger siblings, she can visit them anytime via the teleportation array.

Lowry had always groomed Valera to be the future governor of Maplelands... Chesca had decided from the beginning to stay by his side.

Lowry would definitely not refuse her.

In the end, Valera still chose to go with him.

Lori later realized that the girl's decision to follow him was partly due to feelings, but also to her expectations for the future.

She didn't want to be a nature mage who could only rely on Microlo.

The thousand-web vines of Almes must have greatly shocked her.

Unlike her, who could only rely on Microlo to guide her, Almes was able to cultivate the Thousand-Thread Spider Vine by his own hands, allowing the magical plant, which originally relied solely on instinct, to gradually break free from the limitations of genes and inheritance.

Indeed, Almes was a god reincarnated, and she could not compare to him.

But if she focuses on studying natural magic and learns all sorts of knowledge from Lori, she will one day become powerful enough to give back to Microlo.

That was when she truly gained a foothold.

Compared to Lowry, who makes most decisions based on instinct and intuition, and her younger siblings who hardly think and just want to follow Lowry around, Valera is truly mature.

Lowry felt a little more strongly that she was already in her forties.

And Varela, who is a little older than him, is about to turn fifty.

Over the years, due to the unique environment of Green Maple Territory, Lowry has completely forgotten the passage of time.

After all, time has been kind to him and those around him, leaving virtually no visible marks.

Including his mother, Mrs. Yages.

For some reason, Mrs. Yages didn't like celebrating her birthday and didn't want Lori to remember it... She stated bluntly that if Lori wanted to please her as his mother, the best way was to give her enough gifts to enjoy for a whole year at the start of the new year.

Don't do any messy celebrations.

Although Lowry couldn't fully empathize, he knew a little bit about it... Even the most youthful-looking woman wouldn't want to be reminded that she's over seventy or eighty.

Of course, if one actually lives for ten thousand years and turns their birthday into a celebration, that's another matter entirely.

The most difficult stage is actually reaching 100 years old.

After all, there are quite a few elderly people who really know her, and they are all very good at judging others by their own standards.

Therefore, his mother became increasingly reluctant to see outsiders, including those subordinates she couldn't get rid of no matter how hard she tried.

As expected, none of Lady Agris's subordinates were fools. Although Lady Agris didn't care about their distance and even encouraged them to be independent, no one in the knightly order felt it was necessary... Although Lori wouldn't give them many discounts or special benefits, they were able to buy the best things that others were frantically buying in the Maple Territory shops in that lakeside town.

Indeed, as long as you have the time and energy, you can always buy those things.

However, their immediate deployment gave them a significant advantage in various competitions.

Like a giant iceberg.

Normally speaking, knightly orders that primarily engage in mounted combat would not gain as much benefit as those grand adventure groups.

However, because they were the first to obtain the resources that would allow them to move freely on the iceberg, the Knights of the Ageris really made a lot of money... Everything is most valuable when it is least needed.

The first batch of resources transported down from the large iceberg sold for a good price.

Knights have always been heavily reliant on resources, especially independent knightly orders like the Order of the Agris, which are self-sufficient and only receive subsidies from a portion of their territory.

However, in these twenty years, the Order of the Yagris has produced a total of twenty level ten knights.

Their proportions are all higher than those of the King's Army.

It's important to understand that while some people left the King's Army because of their loyalty to Lady Yages, most chose to settle for second best because they felt they couldn't compete with others in the army.

Lady Yages generally only has higher requirements for those in the middle and above; she doesn't care about ordinary knights.

Her strength is enough to make any dissent disappear openly.

So, Lowry could only bear to watch as those children from back then grew up, took over their parents' responsibilities, and reappeared in the lakeside town.

Although Yagris always acted as if she didn't want to see anyone, the back mountain manor was never really closed.

Lowry didn't see these people as a burden, so he didn't interfere.

However, in the past two years, magic-based professionals have begun to appear among the descendants of the Knights.

The knights sent their mage prodigies into Green Maple Territory without even thinking.

There was naturally no one on Montes' side making a sound.

Even if Lowry felt something was wrong, there was no way he could send them back!
In short, the Independent Knights still have some freedom in this regard.

These children have gradually entered Lori's legal systems... Compared to apprentices from commoner backgrounds, the descendants of knights actually have an advantage.

Although their talents may be similar, their understanding of knowledge and their ability to depict runes are far superior.

Even if Lady Agris hadn't said anything, it was impossible for Lori to abandon the children from the Knights when he left with his apprentices who wanted to follow him.

Given their background, if outsiders were to think that Lowry had abandoned them, it would definitely cause problems.

There are always people who can do unbelievable things just because they imagine things.

The mages that Klorane originally intended to take with him had all been with him for over twenty years. Although they weren't particularly talented, they were loyal enough and had a solid foundation in both magic and alchemy.

At least it can perform the daily maintenance work of the Starry Sky Fortress.

Moreover, taking these people away is perfectly reasonable, and no one would find it strange.

He couldn't possibly take those apprentices who weren't even adults to the Starry Sky without testing them first!

For these reasons, Lowry has been somewhat troubled lately.

But if he reaches level 20 and travels around first, many things will be easily solved.

These mage apprentices could have been taught by most of the mages in the territory.

If Lori isn't in Starry Sky Fortress, no one will gossip about these children staying in Green Maple Territory.

Moreover, if you are not a mage apprentice personally taught by Lori, the price you pay to redeem yourself will be much lower.

Of course, the correct way to say it is the training fee of Qingfeng Territory.

Knowledge has a price.

For an apprentice to become a fully-fledged mage, the resources required are considerable.

After all, the mages of Qingfeng Territory have a very complete spell system, only slightly inferior to those of the royal mages.

Most noble territories simply cannot cultivate such talents.

Therefore, there will certainly be many territories willing to offer enough benefits to invite them back.

Although the more you learn, the higher the ransom, Qingfeng Territory never refuses this method.

Of course, if someone is willing to wait for him to return in the territory, then Lowry will definitely accept.

He will definitely come back to take a look every few decades.

Besides, Valera already has a complete encyclopedia of spells, including some related theories.

All of this was painstakingly recorded and written by Lori herself, so there's no need to worry about mages below level 16 not being able to learn anything.

Lowry tightened her grip on her notebook slightly... All that thinking was just self-deception.

He just wanted to go, so everything revolved around that... and he thought of a whole bunch of benefits.

He slightly raised his head and looked at the swan ship spinning rapidly in the storm like a rocket, and suddenly a realization dawned on him... The reason why Lori thought that level 20 was the best opportunity to go to Toril was because of what Armies had just said.

If Athena, Apollo, and Artemis really did find work in Toril, then... it's unlikely that Toril will be able to recruit people for work again anytime soon.

Although AO is quite greedy, he also has his moments of restraint.

He would have to get to know these three for a while before considering what kind of deity to add to Toril.

As long as Lowry doesn't act recklessly, he's unlikely to be targeted by those above him.

Most importantly, in Toril, there is now a group of the most mischievous and fearless individuals.
