Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 843 The Uniqueness of Qingfeng Territory

Valera hesitated for a few seconds before giving the most honest response: "Even if he is His Majesty Leon, what difference does it make?"

What is being handed over is the throne, the position of the supreme commander of the army.

But it's just a location!
Until you completely leave this world, the North cannot truly belong to His Majesty Leon, can it?

Is it really necessary to awaken our lord in this comparative form of handover?

Katarina looked at Valera in surprise: "Are you that brave?"

Valera rolled her eyes at her... What a joke.
His Majesty the King is so cunning; how many times has he taken advantage of Lowry's kindness and enthusiasm?

If she continues to give such ambiguous answers, the other party might find a way to wake Lori up!

Luscania definitely knows everything.

But on what grounds?

Lowry has already helped them so much, what more do they want?
That was Varela's only sovereign; how could she allow this king to cause trouble?

His Majesty Travis is not unaware that what he is doing is wrong, nor is he unaware that the other side is unwilling.

But he can still make the most of things while saying sorry.

Actually, he really does resemble a deity.

But the people of Qingfeng Territory are not followers of Travis!

Your Majesty had better have some sense of boundaries and only mess with your own people.

Travis looked at her amusedly: "In your heart, what kind of sweetheart is Lowry?"

Armies couldn't help but laugh... Rather than being used, His Majesty the King would probably prefer Lori to sleep soundly.

As a nature mage, Valera's intuition and keenness are only stronger than those of the Gale Wolf.

Especially when someone tries to plot against her in secret, they will naturally give her some subtle hints.

Valera must have sensed that something was wrong with His Majesty Travis, which is why she said such abruptly.

However, the direction was completely opposite.

Just as His Majesty the King said... only if Valera truly believed in Lori's innocence, kindness, and vulnerability would she say something so ridiculous.

But if you were to say that, Qingfengling would only elicit a chorus of 'Are you crazy?' in a panic.

Did Varela ever consider that for normal people, when faced with oppression caused by the doubts of the gods, most people would simply choose to endure it, try to defend themselves, hope that the gods can find out the truth as soon as possible, and then wait for the day when spring arrives and flowers bloom?

Well, to put it bluntly, it's about using your intelligence to navigate various forms of oppression and strive to grow until the day when the gods have to provide a solution.

After all, the gods of this world cannot go too far.

You can cross the line occasionally, but you must never let the whole world know that you are crossing it.

However, what did the obedient and adorable Lori in Valera's heart do?
He flipped the table and told whoever wanted to fight him.

At first, only the people in the Church of Wealth were targeted, which was understandable to most people.

After all, those guys wouldn't dare openly claim they were there to do dirty work in the name of the Goddess of Wealth.

If you dare to say it out loud, you'll have to bet that the goddess of fortune won't strike you with lightning.

These are all things that can be done but not said.

Besides, the goddess of wealth's job is to guarantee your transactions and ensure that no one can sabotage this dirty deal... but she is not the protector of robbers!

Minor matters are one thing, but to openly buy and sell the White Dragon King's grandchildren and even dare to claim it was her order... then you must be a spy sent by the Lord of the Tower.

Regardless of whether those guys were bearing the symbol of the Church of Wealth, as long as Lori didn't care about the Goddess of Wealth's malice, killing them was fine.

Then there's Scroll Mountain.

Well, that's understandable, since Scroll Mountain made the first move.

Although it wasn't fatal, it was just that Lori, who was favored by the Lord of Storms, was a little too quick with her blade.

They didn't give Scroll Mountain a chance to cry "Spare his life!" and didn't even bother to ask for a ransom.

But that guy even killed the members of the Dark Night Church who angered him!
Even a scoundrel like Travis had to tolerate Dark Moon's infiltration of his palace, at most simply kicking him out.

Lowry is the first noble lord in all these years to dare to kill the night spies in his own territory.

He didn't kill them all, which in some way saved some face for the Goddess of the Night... at least he was better than the previous two.

But what about the Church of the Night?
Even now that the Goddess of the Night has publicly acknowledged her connection with Lori, the Church of the Night has not lifted its ban on Green Maple Territory.

The reaction was much greater than that of the Earth Church, the Wealth Church, and Scroll Mountain.

After all, those churches didn't have a smooth journey; they didn't always have everything go their way.

But the Church of the Dark Night is different!
With its strong preference for the majority of female professionals, the Church of the Night has always been successful in places where women congregate.

Especially in countries like the North, where women face greater challenges, most strong women will tacitly lend a helping hand to girls.

There's nothing wrong with that, but...

Almes's lips twitched slightly... But why should the gentleness and persistence of a girl's beautiful feelings be directed by your Church of the Night? Although this may be the result of the world's gradual evolution due to complex historical circumstances, Almes, who was of Greek origin, disliked it very much and did not want to accept it.

But he couldn't think of any way to solve it before.

The Greeks dealt with all problems in a rather simple and brutal way. Even Prometheus, who went to bring fire to mankind, stole it and delivered it directly to mankind.

Apollo couldn't even cover for him back then; it took a lot of effort to delay until he delivered fire to humans!

Almes didn't think Greece was so great, but even though he was cunning and experienced, he couldn't compete with the lack of similar experience.

It seems that no other world, not even one where women hold power, can serve as a precedent.

How can we make them abandon this kind of common sense that is almost ingrained in human nature?

At least, while following him, Almes, one wouldn't simultaneously feel... the need to leave oneself a way out with the Church of the Night.

Of course, it's possible that this is his first thought because he mainly lives in the North.

Men living in the darker southern districts likely share a similar mindset, but they generally prefer the more moderate Church of Wealth as their backing.

Unfortunately, the Goddess of Night can't be as forgiving as the Lord of Storms, but she's alright with the Goddess of Wealth.

The gods of this world are indeed deeply bound to their own laws. Although Toril's Serene also prefers female believers, she is not as devoted as the Goddess of the Night.

However, it seems that Serene only has a decent relationship with female gods... never mind, Toril can't be used as an example.

However, there are very few moon goddesses who possess the power to determine the course of the world.

Their kind yet chaotic nature makes it difficult for them to seize decision-making power; at most, they have a voice.

Armies really thought about it for a long time... It was his nature to not be able to see his subordinates having other ideas.

But he can't rely solely on male subordinates, as that would only cause more trouble.

Fortunately, the performance of Qingfeng Territory, especially Valera, seemed to have made him understand something.

Qingfeng Territory was the place he had never seen that treated men and women as anything other than men.

If you can, go for it; if not, go for it.

They will not be polite and yield just because their opponent is a woman, and when a fight breaks out, they will not refrain from shooting themselves in the chest just because she is a woman.

Strike wherever the weakness is.

The requirement is one against five, and it will never become one against four just because of a woman.

Of course, men won't be given special treatment just because some jobs require meticulousness and dexterity.

The assessments were all exactly the same; there was never any special treatment given to any individual.

Anyone can earn a high salary from Lowry if they grit their teeth and persevere.

This kind of behavior has resulted in the people of Qingfeng having a very weak concept of gender.

It's not that they can no longer see the beauty of the other gender, but rather... I love you, but if you want to compete with me, you'll have to beat me head-on.

Regardless of gender, there is only strength and weakness.

Most importantly, because Lowry initially had no one to use, the professionals under his command were all those who had no lineage and relied entirely on the favor of fate.

The male-dominated nature of the Northern Kingdom simply does not exist in Qingfeng Territory.

The only unique feature is the permeation of the dragon's blood and energy, but this is also all-encompassing.

As long as one is loyal enough to the territory, works diligently, and fulfills their duties, everyone in Qingfeng Territory can accept the infectious power of this dragon aura.

This is not something that can be accomplished in a short time.

They may eventually form a new lineage, but that will not change the established environment of the territory.

Even though Valera and Chesca, who grew up in this environment, are strong women, they do not believe that only the Church of the Night can be a woman's support.

Without officially leaving Qingfeng Valley, they were unable to perceive the subtle imbalance in the outside world.

Lady Yages, who was somewhat aware of this, would never open the door for other powers in her son's territory.

Armies glanced at Travis casually.

Regardless of whether His Majesty the King could understand why Azure Maple Territory was able to completely block the invasion of other forces, Almes himself had already figured it out.

He can do that too.

After all, he didn't need to rely entirely on the power of the northern nobles as the first wave of support for starting his new faction, like the King of the North did.

Almes never intended to directly build his power into an atmosphere like that of the Green Maple Territory.

That's impossible, after all, Green Maple Territory was a territory that Lori built from the very bottom.

Armies simply couldn't do it.

With a start like Lowry's, most people would only stagnate instead of creating their own unique success... It seems that talent isn't that important anymore.

However, in reality, the world remains the same.
