Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 847 Relatives Within Relatives

Lori never imagined that the few words she casually muttered while reading the original rules of the Tower Church would be remembered by Katarina, let alone that she would tell Hades and Persephone directly.

Moreover, that was definitely not his original quote.

Besides, not all Greeks are the same!

He simply... because he studied Western aesthetics and art, he had to simultaneously read the history and philosophy that led to these art forms.

Even someone like Lowry, who comes from a proper art academy, has to experience the disconnect of taking political classes and Western aesthetic history classes on the same day.

He didn't know what other art academies were like, but anyone who had listened to the lectures carefully could feel the detachment of Western philosophy from such extreme contrasts.

Especially those philosophies that are linked to aesthetics, almost all of them are art of the upper class.

Those with keen senses might even be able to see... the blood and tears of ordinary Westerners within it.

The most basic qualities of a true painter are sensitivity and passion.

Unless you were completely unwilling to learn from the very beginning.

However, during Lowry's time, the political history exams at the art academy were still closed-book exams!
He didn't know if others could just memorize things without any feeling, but he couldn't.

Because her brain wasn't big enough, Lowry knew early on that she had to cherish every course that could be learned through memory and perception.

His humanities subjects are actually quite good, but he can't handle math and only gets 45 points.

Even in his first year of university, he couldn't break that study habit.

I have genuinely studied every course I could understand very diligently.

Therefore, he could not deny that the two Greeks actually shared a subtle similarity.

Only upper-class citizens are considered citizens, and even only men are considered citizens.

The lord's advisor was indeed a Greek.

Hmm... After confirming the advisor's attributes, Lowry felt that it was perfectly normal for the Goddess of the Night to be attracted to him and then leave him.

Regardless of the nature of women in this world, his ideas are actually of little significance to a goddess.

However, his novel systems, novel ideas, and even his exploration of some astronomical phenomena... such as why natural phenomena like the waxing and waning of the moon exist, and the continental shelf of the ocean, also gave the goddess of the night and the gods a lot of inspiration.

Knowing a lot doesn't necessarily mean being good at something, but at least he has enough ideas.

This is probably why the Goddess of the Night, even though she had already given up on him, still hoped that he could live.

Unfortunately, her complex emotions vanished instantly when the tower and his advisors began to jeopardize the world's bottom line.

In the end, all the resentment could be blamed on the greedy Lord of the Tower... which is not wrong.

Lowry knew very well that those so-called antiquarians who had lost their minds could at best be assistants, and were incapable of taking charge.

The truly capable ones are the Tower Lords who can carry forward his ideas based on the laws of this world, and even truly solidify the divine office they desire.

Lori had always had some doubts about how much of the Tower Lord's seemingly unwavering friendship with his dear friend was genuine.

Or perhaps he's even deceiving himself.

That guy's behavior was so contradictory; one moment he seemed perfectly normal, and the next he seemed absolutely insane.

Is there some special reason why he insists on keeping the title of Master of the Magic Tower on his head that he cannot give up?
In particular, that advisor is said to have transformed into his tower spirit just before he died.

He might genuinely be afraid to let that guy die...

Whatever the reason, Lowry genuinely didn't think there were any decent people in the West, or even among the ancient Greeks.

If he preferred ancient Rome, Lowry could somewhat agree, since they had been using Rome's system of separate councils.

But ancient Greece?

What do we admire about them? Do we want to go back to the past and be slaves?

Compared to the broad definition of citizenship in ancient Rome, only one in ten people in ancient Greece were citizens, and citizens were further divided into different classes.

Most importantly, slaves are not considered human beings; they don't even deserve to be part of the denominator.

Although Katarina was talking nonsense, she subtly pointed out the most essential point... that advisor was all about Greek style.

However, in the multiverse of Greece, the so-called citizens are only believers recognized by the gods, and even then, they are male believers.

Even the handmaids of Athena had no political status and no right to speak... Even Athena could not openly oppose the laws set by Zeus for humankind.

The reason why Almace had several intelligent and clear-headed female deity friends was because he did not believe that women were unworthy of power.

He is the only male deity who accepts sacrificial rituals from female believers.

The Swift Wolf spoke with conviction, and Hades and Persephone exchanged a glance upon hearing this astonishing news... They truly believed it.

Click!

The gears of fate suddenly turned sharply at that moment. Meanwhile, Lowry was fast asleep, clutching her blanket.

"What do you say?"

Almes's pleasant mood quickly vanished after hearing Persephone's soft mutterings.

“Lowry didn’t tell us.” His eyes darkened slightly, but his tone remained firm.

“I know that wolf probably just picked the most terrifying one from Lori’s various conjectures to scare us,” Persephone replied calmly. “After all, she’s quite unhappy with Hades and me.”

Armies glanced at her... So you knew too!

“Of course I know,” Persephone said matter-of-factly, “but it’s more advantageous for me to do this than to be approached by people who come to exchange pleasantries.”

Those with guts will find them annoying.

Those without guts would never dare to stand up and call her 'Pearl' at this moment.

Persephone discovered the commotion of some people as soon as he entered Hamilton Castle.

They weren't unaware of the difference between Persephone and Pearl.

But they discovered the complex and subtle relationship between Persephone and the Countess through their own little schemes.

Furthermore, they guessed that Persephone did not want to deny her identity as 'Pear'.

As long as she remains 'Pearl', there are people who feel they can take the risk.

After all, they're acquaintances!
But this did indeed put Persephone in a difficult position... not because these fools couldn't be killed, but because she didn't want to openly show her other side in front of the Count and Countess.

So she simply dragged Hades into a public display of affection.

When she relinquished control between the two, those people naturally disappeared... Persephone like this certainly couldn't be Hades' master, and their lives would be in danger.

So even when the Countess was looking at her with a disappointed expression, Persephone could still put on the act of a lovestruck, doting wife.

"Mom and Dad..." Armies also thought of this, "They do have a bit too much of a filter on their subordinates."

"Actually, that's normal."

Humans have two faces.

As long as I still look like Pearl, there will always be people who think I'm easy to talk to. Persephone smiled coldly.

Pearl's greatest achievement over the decades has been making herself appear extremely harmless.

While ensuring that Ezra's men regarded Armies as the sole heir, he also made himself a universally acknowledged fool.

Hades asked with some confusion, "Did you two deliberately change the subject, or did it just fly away?"

“Pear and I always care most about our parents,” Armies replied with a serious expression.

“So, it flew,” Hades said definitively.

Persephone tugged at Hades' sleeve, bringing the conversation back on track: "But when I heard that the advisor in the tower was also Greek, it was as if someone had cleared away a layer of fog in my mind."

My intuition tells me this is the one.

Hades nodded: "I have the same feeling. That guy probably does have connections with Greece."

Armies gripped the pen and knife on the table, twirling them rapidly in his hand: "In the bustling tunnel, I met a familiar stranger. Do you remember him?"

"Who are you talking about? The god of time and space named Cronus?" Persephone asked, somewhat surprised.

"How much of my conversation with him did you hear?" Armies countered.

“From beginning to end! But I didn’t hear a thing about his conversation with Lori,” Persephone replied, surprised. “What do you want to ask?”

“He said he and Lowry are related, did you hear that?” Armies asked.

"Huh?" Persephone was bewildered. "Lorry is a dragon and an angel... both complicated things. There are probably a lot of things he's involved in. Who knows what he's talking about!"

"He was possessed by Uronus! Don't you know the temper of that god?"

"How could anything else possibly coexist with it?" Armies said irritably. "That's across half the universe!"

Then, as he pondered, he said, "I've always felt that there are too many people eyeing the Gezar family."

The God of Time and Space was probably also dragged into the multiverse from other universes by Uronus.

His style is just too authentic; it's completely out of place in the multiverse.

"Wait a minute!" She finally realized: "You mean, the Lord of the Tower has been keeping an eye on the Gezar family because that advisor also comes from the Gezar family?"
Yes, that guy's soul comes from another universe, but his body is definitely from this world!
But how could it be Gezar?

"Why not?" Armes finally figured something out. "The Gezar family was very strong from the beginning."

They are also very wealthy.

They are skilled in cultivating magical materials and raising magical creatures; the family also includes a storm priest and a magic-based professional.
