Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 788 You Don't Understand Lowry at All
The fact that even someone with Tyr's personality chose to live in a secluded corner where no one but his own people could touch him shows what the situation is like in Paradise Mountain right now.

Then, the gods of order on Heavenly Mountain had no more henchmen to use.

Asmodeus led the battle angels to the nine levels of hell, and the Wind Elemental Duke, who had once been on good terms with them, turned away... Seeing their fate, who would still abandon their family and career to follow the God of Order?
Most importantly, Asmodeus's departure seems to have left the Pool of Life without any more angels to create.

The gods of order, who disliked being tainted by the mortal world, had no choice but to create a large number of pseudo-angels without their own thoughts to perform those daily tasks.

These guys do mechanical work quite well, but if anything deviates slightly from the program set in their minds, the pseudo-angels will crash.

Then the gods of order went to those ordinary gods who longed for the positive energy of Paradise Mountain.

If you lack the strength, angels will make up for it.

It doesn't matter if they have weak divine power, as long as they can communicate with the angels and command them not to do anything foolish.

In the words of the dragon, Paradise Mountain has made itself a joke... Even in the Mechanical Realm, it is rare for a mid-level Demon Tomb to swagger around and command a high-level Demon Tomb in battle.

Lowry's dragon ancestors also conjured up an extremely vivid image for him... a god who looked weak and ordinary, with a timid expression, followed by a row of imposing, powerful archangels with four wings on their backs.

That feeling was very interesting.

It's like a little teddy bear giving orders to a group of Tibetan mastiffs.

Although the Tibetan mastiffs are well-trained and will not be hostile to the little teddy bear because of its whining, nor are they interested in hunting it... their inorganic eyes are clearly aiming at its weakest point when they sweep over the small body.

Unfortunately, Teddy bears have weaknesses everywhere.

But Teddy dogs are the type that are very good at taking advantage of their owner's power.

As long as it has the support of others, it doesn't care at all how dangerous the Tibetan mastiffs it commands are.

The divine kingdom that was initially lured away by the bottomless abyss was just a teddy bear that fooled itself.

It thought the Tibetan Mastiff would fight right behind it, but when it reached the entrance of the pasture, the Mastiff turned back... leaving Teddy alone, who had already charged out to face the wolves.

Meanwhile, its owner, whom it relied on, chose to water his own flowers and plants... What is a Teddy? Is it even worth his attention?

Even the most mindless little animal, after rushing back to the pasture covered in wounds, should realize that it is still just a small dog, unable to out-bite anyone.

Then, in Paradise Mountain, apart from those silly dogs who sold themselves for dog food, no other creature was willing to live near the gate to protect the ranch, let alone fight to protect the ranch owner's flowers, plants, livestock, and poultry.

Lowry has a really deep memory of the story of this character.

This was even just the perspective of a dragon observing from the sidelines.

The ones on the Battle Angels side are even more brutal.

After all, she had also recorded the fate of those gods in the bottomless abyss... Although the blood war stood in the way, if a demon duke was bold enough to wander into the demons' trading districts, the demons would not stop him.

For gold coins, the devil will do anything.

Those gods, living in the bottomless abyss, were no better off than Vol'jin, the goddess of Toril.

However, as a collection of positive energy, ordinary demons cannot harm them using the most primitive methods.

Those who could attack those individuals must be at least at the level of a demon lord.

But humiliation and pain are really no different.

They were even saved thanks to the help of a few brave men who went to rescue Wojnarowski.

Compared to the Toril gods who desperately inflated the ransom to save face, none of the unfortunate souls on Paradise Mountain paid the ransom.

Lowry never really liked Paradise Mountain.

Or rather, anyone who has ever worked as a laborer, or even a beast of burden, would not have any fondness for Paradise Mountain.

Even if he believes in the law of the jungle, even if he thinks that the strong have the right to oppress the weak... he can't help but spit out his contempt when faced with what those people at Paradise Mountain did.

For example, AO.

He certainly didn't leave Mount Paradise out of pity for Asmodeus and the battle angels.

Although they are not exactly good people and like to exploit and control others, AO doesn't like to go too far.

Although cattle and horses are used heavily, at least they are fed proper fodder.

Just like those past drafts he worked on day and night until he lost all his hair... Bosses who have high demands but pay quickly, pay on time and even include taxes, are people to be grateful to!
AO is certainly not that good. They talk a lot of nonsense, and they might even be the kind of bastard boss who makes you draw a dozen copies and then says that the first version is still the best... They also have a habit of delaying payment until the last day of the contract.

However, he was reasonable in his payment, enough to cover the costs of these dozen or so editions, including taxes. And although it was time-consuming, he wouldn't refuse to pay... He wouldn't resort to some kind of payment method that cancels payments if they aren't received within 24 hours. Even if the artist died suddenly, he would still acknowledge the payment.

That's fine then!
In an industry downturn, having a boss like this is already quite good... although, it really is a bit fatal.

This kind of boss is definitely not comparable to the generous and knowledgeable bosses mentioned above. Instead, they have the utmost contempt for those who cheat others out of manuscripts, refuse to pay, and then turn around and complain about the other person's lack of ability.

I consider them a disgrace to the industry and disdain to be compared to them. Let alone being in the same place as them, where outsiders would likely see us as one of their own!
Therefore, most people with AO's personality have left.

The Order God of Paradise Mountain... Although Lori has gradually forgotten those days when he wanted to go crazy with a knife every day, he still feels disgusted when he encounters someone like that.

But I already knew he was a scoundrel and disdained to associate with them. When I found out that he was a complete piece of trash and a shocking criminal, the shock was still quite significant.

Lowry, I really, really want to see Paradise Mountain suffer a terrible fate.

But he is also a kind-hearted person.

He's not exactly a pushover, but if a casual remark could get someone out of a predicament... especially if the other person is someone he can talk to and has a relatively harmonious relationship, he'll definitely say something.

However, he could also tell from the performance of Asmodeus and the others that Mount Olympia held a somewhat important position in this matter.

It is quite possible that if Armes had chosen to awaken Zeus, the outcome would have been completely different.

The only reason Lowry could think of was that if Thunder were to fall into the hands of the Order God of Heaven Mountain, it would deal a huge blow to the demons and the army of devils.

Or, it could have a negative impact on some of Asmodeus's plans.

In that case, in order to save themselves, the gods of order would surely grant Zeus some of his requests.

While he might not demand an exorbitant amount, the inherently greedy Zeus will certainly want many benefits... not just a full recovery.

Although Athena and her companions will be bound by Zeus once again as a result, Almes will certainly benefit greatly.

Although this guy doesn't seem to have any intention of going back to the past, what if... it's just a compromise because he knows Zeus is doomed?

Of course, the future of the Greek pantheon had nothing to do with him, but for some reason, Lori just hated Zeus and didn't want to see him resurrected at all.

His relationship with Armies was merely one of mutual benefit, even less harmonious than that between Travis and Lowry... It was none of his business to meddle in their neighbor's affairs.

Lowry has always been good at convincing herself.

Therefore, after much deliberation, he chose to remain silent.

He called Chesca in so that he could sever ties in the most appropriate way and stop talking to Armies, who already knew of his existence.

To avoid accidentally saying something inappropriate.

Anyway, if anything happens that he needs to know, Huoyu will open the water mirror himself.

"Lorry? Lori!" Armies called out cautiously to Katarina.

"Everyone said he cut off the communication!" Katarina said, slapping Armies away with her large paw. "What are you doing, pointing it at a lady's face?"

Armies shook his head: "I'm afraid he'll get angry."

Although he didn't quite understand halfway through the negotiation, he still understood the result.

The price Lowry paid was far higher than he initially thought it would be acceptable.

Although the Lord of Qingfeng Territory is not one to make unreasonable demands, he is still a dragon after all!

Paying for goods is already painful enough for them, let alone paying a premium... that would drive the entire supply chain crazy.

Even outsiders wouldn't think it was Lowry's fault after hearing it.

Rather, it was the Earl of Hamilton's fault for actually daring to push the dragon to that point.

“Bowen knows Lori better than you do.” Katarina rolled her eyes. “He’s a human lord, so of course he follows human rules.”

How could one demand both the benefits of humanity and the rules of dragons simply because of the bloodline of dragons?

That's bullying!
"Lowry is so good, so kind, so upright, how could she do such a greedy and shameless thing!"

Then Katarina shook her head helplessly: "Of course I don't understand either. Why does Lori choose to be human when she could be a non-human?"

But since he wants to, then some of the pain is something he is willing to endure.

"It's none of your business."

"How long will he be in pain?" Armies asked hesitantly.

This is just the first treasure trove; there are even more important ones to come!

Lowry's intelligence sources are different from his, so he might be able to help.

“You’ll be fine before anything happens to you.” Katarina looked up and thought for a moment. “There are still so many good things we haven’t finished counting!”

Armies looked back at the mountain of gold and silver jewelry and suddenly realized... Oh right, there's a part of Katharina's in there too!
With the help of this Ms. Gale Wolf, the resources that could have been tallied in two days will definitely take four days.

He estimated the time and nodded slightly: "That's good."
