Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 867 The King Who Did Not Return to the Capital

The Hamiltons only guessed half of it correctly.

Travis was indeed in a hurry to leave, but his first choice was Lowry's study.

After being brought here by Katarina, the King of the North occupied the comfortable large desk and buried himself in work.

No one knew why he entrusted these matters to Qingfeng Territory, and no one wanted to ask.

Everyone knows that, under the current circumstances, it's best that only he and the person he's about to entrust with this matter know the truth.

This isn't necessarily Lowry; after all, there are many things Lowry couldn't do in her capacity.

But only here can he keep it a secret, and there is a real, unquestionable witness.

One of the reasons why Lowry is perceived as 'a bit crazy' by outsiders is the small whirlwind hanging on the spire of his castle, which appears to be fast asleep but is actually fully aware of everything happening within a hundred miles.

Even the Storm High Priests wouldn't be so generous... Although they certainly wouldn't ask him to leave, the Storm Lord could read their minds.

How could someone as proud as him possibly stay in a place that doesn't welcome him for long?
Even if the wind is his natural territory.

Moreover, the reason why his followers are unwilling to stay near him is... pitiful and laughable, but it is a reason that humans can come up with.

For example, trivial things like whether my master will see me going to the toilet.

Major events are less of a concern, since Storm Followers all have idols in their homes, and they can't really stop anything related to the Lord of Storms.

Everyone does bad things on other people's property.

But it was precisely this worry that made the Lord of Storms feel like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat... He couldn't very well shout and say, "I never watch that kind of stuff!"
Over time, the Lord of Storms became extremely sensitive, and would immediately leave any place that made him uncomfortable.

His personality is no secret, so the fact that he could stay in Qingfeng Territory for so long must be quite strange.

How does Lori Montes manage to be so indifferent to all of this?

Are you really not worried at all? He has female relatives in his family too!

Unfortunately, no one dared to ask Lowry this question, since he never went out.

This actually benefited Travis.

Their transition of power in the Northern Kingdom required the approval of the Lord of Storms.

Therefore, no matter what happens, he must respect the High Priest of the Northern Storms.

Otherwise, given the depth of faith held by the Northern royal family, the Lord of Storms probably wouldn't even be able to hear their voices.

This was the reason he didn't dare to touch the Schröder family before... The McMillan family is truly cunning and ruthless; Celestia is already a top-tier member, so they definitely can't outmaneuver the Schröders.

Sure enough, the whole family went down there, and McMillan's only hope went with them.

Then, is he going to ask the Storm God Temple to send a new high priest as soon as possible, and then pour out all the inside information about the Northern Kingdom to this guy who doesn't know which side he's on?
High Priest Schroeder is indeed a villain, but he is also a villain of the North. If he had to choose between the Lord of Storms and the North, he would definitely choose the Lord of Storms.

But the main temple?

What it is.

Fortunately, he has Lowry here to help him; otherwise, he would be in a terrible state right now.

Travis, who was writing furiously, felt deeply that if Leon dared to do anything to betray him, he would be punished by heaven!

He's working so hard all by himself for the sake of that kid's long-term stability!

Moreover, given Leon's long lifespan, it's estimated that there won't be another handover for a long time after this one.

If Leon still can't control the High Priest of the Northern Storms after all this time, then he deserves to lose.

As Travis watched the wind patterns silently emerge on each document, he took a deep breath and continued to bury himself in the sea of ​​documents.
-
Chesca hesitated for a long time, but in the end she chose not to disturb him. Instead, she would work harder herself and go to the underwater palace every day to monitor the operation of the territory's magic array.

Anyway, the control hubs in the study and the underwater palace are both branches, and the feedback from the magic circle is even faster in the underwater palace... Especially after Lori went to the Ice Lord's dimensional space, the underwater palace absorbed more and more energy, and at a very fast speed.

Not to mention that the energy bar hardly decreases during daily use, even when Chesca occasionally uses the magic circle to perform calculations involving the entire territory, it can be fully replenished within ten minutes.

Cheska wasn't unaware of the reason; she simply hadn't expected the Lord of Ice to be so generous.

If it were the Lord of Storms, she could actually understand.

But doesn't Hanbing have the bloodline of a white dragon?

Chesca, who also took on some of the work related to the White Dragon's daily affairs, knew very well that greed and stinginess were ingrained in their very being.

From small to large, there is no difference.

Even Lily, who loves Lori very much, is not an option.

Of course, she eventually manages to give it up, but it requires a painful and agonizing process. Lily's first reaction is always to grab it and stuff it in.

Only then, fueled by his love for Lori, would he regain a sliver of reason and consider whether to share some with her dear uncle.

Bobo and Weiss are a little worse, but they're not exactly stingy.

The main thing is that Lowry is really good at providing emotional value.

No matter what these little dragons gave him, he would praise it with great delight.

Moreover, he looked quite proud.

However, it is indeed something he can be proud of, as these three have never been so sincere, even to his own parents.

Perhaps, when the little dragons successfully hunted independently for the first time and carefully handed Lori a rabbit head, they received enthusiastic praise and encouragement, and experienced a unique kind of happiness.

After that, they gave Lori rabbit legs.

Now, Bobo and Weiss will even share a beef leg with Lowry!
If it were their father, he would only give them two cow hairs at most.

As for Lily, after thinking and hesitating for a while, she would take her prey to the kitchen, watch the chef prepare a feast for her, and then take her to eat with Lori.

If she finds something good on the iceberg, she will distribute it in a ratio of one part to Lori, two parts to me, and three parts to the warehouse... Although the main body of the iceberg is located outside Lori's territory, some extensions connect to the great cliff in Lori's territory.

This area has already been allocated by Lowry to three small dragons as hunting grounds and initial territory.

Regardless of what Bobo, Weiss, and Lily plan for their future, as an elder, Lowry showed her best sincerity.

He has a deep understanding of dragon ecology and knows that young dragons must learn to claim their own territory and learn how to manage it through inherited memories.

For example, how to maintain a balance in the number of animals in one's hunting grounds, how to drive away or kill other large hunters, and so on.

If we rely solely on passing down memories without any practical experience... the child's future will be like Luscania's. After leaving White Dragon Valley, she will struggle to even feed herself and will eventually have to find a human to support her.

Although she found a good partner like Travis, it was because of Travis's luck, not because of her, Luscania.

Other white dragons might not be so lucky; when they go out looking for food tickets, they might just jump straight into a pot of delicacies.

It's more likely he'll fall into a fire pit... and he'll have to learn to hunt and cook for himself, and the human will even have to eat and drink from him.

The only advantage is that there are endless fights to fight, and you no longer have to worry about not being able to find prey due to lack of experience.

Lowry is always a planner, always thinking ahead, so he immediately prepared this territory when the little dragons entered adolescence.

Furthermore, taking into account that the three little dragons might want to expand their territory after they reach adolescence, they were all assigned to places bordering the Great Iceberg.

Then, because he was worried that someone might use these places to enter the territory and ambush the little dragons, Lowry arranged a lot of defensive measures there.

In the words of the great knights on the cliff, its defensive strength is comparable to that of a national war.

Chesca guessed that Bolaños had insisted on getting a Dragon Pillar Mountain from Lowry back then because he was thinking about his children's future growth, and he made it so attractive.

However, in the world of the White Dragon, there is no such thing as fairness. The first target he set for his children to defeat was their own siblings.

Only the one who defeats the other two dragons can possess their own independent territory.

Then, the losing dragons either depend on Lowry for survival or leave Green Maple Territory to find a suitable territory.

The Ice Kingdom is right next door, and there are large blank areas at the border between the two countries, enough for a white dragon to make a living.

They can even have a place to escape to when they encounter danger.

This is probably the best future that Bolaños, as a father, envisioned for his child.

It was because he witnessed Bolanos's every move that Lori was able to confirm... that in the world of the White Dragon King, what the White Dragon King had given his son, the Lord of Ice, was already more than enough.

Although the Lord of Ice was an accident, the White Dragon King, following the custom of the White Dragons, gave his son a region sufficient for development.

Because he was inherently too powerful, the White Dragon King never considered that his child might experience any vulnerable or helpless early years.

With him around, no one would dare kill his child.

In his mind, both the Ice Lord who struggled to survive and Luscania who sold herself for a good price chose that path because they could not accept mediocrity or incompetence.

That's understandable, so he neither supports nor opposes it.

After that, when Lowry talked about their grandfather with the three little dragons, he would try to be fair.

First tell them about the old customs of the White Dragon, then mention to them why their mother had such an experience.

So, during this time, Bobo and Weiss have been able to face themselves.
