Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 868 Chesca is working like crazy

White Dragon, first and foremost, loves himself.

It's perfectly normal to not be able to spare any attention for others when you can't satisfy your own desires.

That's just how they are, and Lowry never thought of changing it.

Therefore, he was genuinely happy when he received even that small amount of feedback.

Lily, however, is not yet ready.

She knew it was her nature, but she was unwilling to be limited by it.

She hopes that whether it's stinginess or greed, it comes from her own true feelings, rather than being led by blood ties.

Although this girl wasn't born to Lowry, she really resembles Lowry in some ways.

Especially that stubbornness.

Lady Yages liked her so much probably because she saw in Lily the little Lori who had been hidden away by the current Grand Mage of Green Maple Territory.

However, it was precisely because the little dragons were different in nature but all had innate attributes that they could not control that Chesca would never believe that the Lord of Ice, who had half dragon blood, would be an exception.

Surely he can't be more generous than His Majesty Travis?
That king truly did occasionally awaken a portion of his rationality amidst his greed, only to fall into a new cycle.

However, he seemed to have set up some kind of warning system for himself, so that he would immediately wake up if his greed got too strong.

It's also possible that he was only influenced by Luscania after all, and his true nature wasn't really like that... Well, the Northern Royal Family and the White Dragon can be said to be going in opposite directions, so let's not talk about the second one.

Luscania's shrewdness, rarely seen in the White Dragon, and her extreme demands for the quality of jewelry, clearly indicate that she comes from the royal bloodline of the North.

A normal white dragon should want everything.

But Luscania was able to accept the constant flow of treasures in and out of the vault she was guarding.

This is all because she has high standards for the quality of the treasures.

In her eyes, scraps were just materials for the warehouse. Although she didn't want them, she could restrain herself from taking them for Travis's sake.

This is good... Chesca didn't even dare to think that if the white dragons in their world, which were already so bad, were considered elite, then what must the white dragons in other worlds, or rather, most of them, be like?
Many stories about white dragons circulate in the human kingdom, each one seemingly incomprehensible... For example, the white dragon who died tragically during the ambush on the Gale Wolves and the territory of Gezar is a typical example.

If he stormed into the Northern Kingdom and seized enough gold and silver, then it would be understandable that he risked being hunted down by all the powerful figures of the North, including the Storm Nobles.

However, it must have suddenly gone mad halfway through the flight, rather than having any special purpose; it was just itching to grab or burn something.

Otherwise, why would they go to the crater?

Don't be fooled by the fact that the place isn't very prosperous; it's teeming with powerful individuals... It's the front line where the Storm Nobles and the King's Faction Nobles are locked in a standoff.

Elsewhere, he might have a chance to rob and run, but there…

Most importantly, what the Gale Wolves need is the wind energy in the mountain, not the gem itself, so they will never dig out all the Gale Gems!

The warehouse only contains the shallowest layer of scraps that can be picked up in the open.

Otherwise, how could Gale Wolf possibly protect the magic gem mine when surrounded by so many powerful forces?

As a result, they were hunted down and killed for just this little bit of stuff... After all, the lives of the entire Gezar clan and the entire Gale Wolf clan were not lost in vain.

Even now, some people use the white dragon, who died the fastest and most decisively, as a lesson to future generations about how greed leads to one's own demise.

Although the White Dragon King doesn't accept humans' 'random jokes,' he can't be bothered to care if it's true.

They're even quite willing to spread these stories... at least that way, no matter what stories the White Dragon creates, humans can understand them.

It's a white dragon anyway!

As for the Northern royal family... the reason why the first king of the North left his original country and abandoned his former status and glory was that he valued money more than his life.

Of course, it’s not his fault.

After all, who would be willing to share half of the treasure they had painstakingly unearthed with just empty words from the king?
Those who are willing are all those who need something from others.

In any case, the first king was somewhat out of step with his country due to his beliefs, so he simply led his followers on a path of expansion.

But deep down, his family values ​​profit very much.

Just like Travis's sons, who knew they shouldn't do it but still colluded with the nobles in order to 'save money'.

Rosalind was the same!

A classic example of how difficult it is to part with charitable wealth.

She has always been very attached to what she has, and all she sees is the harm of her sisters being taken advantage of... If she were more open-minded, she could see the wisdom in the carefree lives of those princesses.

Indeed, marrying back to one's mother's family, especially those of middle-class families, is considered a step down for princesses, and many princesses even have to take out a portion of their allowance to "fulfill their filial duties" to their deceased mothers.

However, all princesses who married out in this way would only become the heads of that family.

On the surface, perhaps not, and she might even have to be a little more accommodating because her maternal grandparents are still alive. However, the large number of maids and guards she brought with her would inevitably become the main fighting force of this family.

In the Northern Kingdom, strength reigns supreme.

Aside from one or two princesses who were truly brainwashed by their mothers and knew nothing, the rest would successfully control their families by relying on their subordinates whose names were still recorded on the royal family's list.

For the princesses, rather than going to other families and going from unfamiliarity to familiarity to defeating everything, it's better to start from where they know best.

However, all of this is based on the premise that they are willing to contribute some resources first.

However, even if she marries into another family or even becomes a queen, she still has to pay money to buy her reputation during the adjustment period!
Those subordinates and officials must know which side is more advantageous to follow.

On the contrary, the mother clan doesn't need to consider these things at all.

As long as they showed a little courage and boldness, those people would quickly rush over and kneel at their feet.

Rosalind, however, was completely oblivious to the mystery at play... and it was unclear whether Rosalind, now living as one with the Goddess of Rain, understood that her dowry wasn't just for eating, drinking, and having fun, but was meant to pave a path for her to rise in rank.

Whether she understands or not is irrelevant.

Anyway, with the Goddess of Rain and Sophia from the Sebefia family, she'll definitely understand.

Chesca received some information that although Sofia had managed the Queen's dowry very well, Rosalind's dowry was estimated to be only a third of what it was to support the warriors who followed the Queen.

Most of them were still real estate... Sofia converted these assets into farms, ranches, and shops from the beginning.

At the very least, Queen Rosalind's basic needs must be guaranteed!
That's all.

In other words, Alex knew in his heart that he had been giving Rosalind the maximum Queen's allowance, which prevented Rosalind from being so embarrassed that she couldn't even afford a milk bath.

But Alex wasn't thinking about Rosalind! He was afraid of losing face... Everyone knew how much dowry the Northern Princess brought when she got married.

In a proper marriage between two countries, the queen's dowry would only increase, not be so small that she would live a life worse than a countess.

If the Northern royal family only produced one Rosalind, it wouldn't matter, since the responsibility could be shifted to the maternal family.

However, Travis's many sons are all mentally unstable, while his daughters are somewhat passable, which clearly indicates that he is the one with the biggest problem... The bloodline that his children inherited from him is probably the greedy heart of the North, activated and amplified by the blood of the White Dragon.

Ironically, they were both quite decent people, and even Luscania could say they had a bottom line.

In Lowry's words, Luscania and Travis were a case of "great effort brings about a miracle," where two negatives resulted in a positive outcome.

But what about the Lord of Ice?

Could the White Dragon King and the Rain Goddess also give him a double negative to make a positive?
how could it be possible!
Otherwise, how could the Lord of Ice be an evil god?

Besides, you can tell from the ice dog thing that he's not quite right in the head.

Therefore, Chesca had always been somewhat worried about the source of this icy energy.

Even though Lowry kept saying there was no problem, it didn't stop her from making a few preparations herself.

It's not that she doesn't trust Lowry's judgment, but... Lowry sometimes overlooks minor issues because of her own strength and indifference.

But Chesca couldn't think that way.

Her job was to fill those gaps for Lowry.

"Valeira, could you come to the underwater palace?" Chesca decided to find someone knowledgeable first.

Putting aside everything else, her sister is absolutely a master at making judgments related to the basic operation of magic circles.

That was her heart, forged from the days and nights she spent learning basic magic circles as a swordsman.

Valera arrived quickly.

Normally, she should have returned to Green Maple Valley to prepare for the arrival of the caravans in the spring.

However, given the grand ceremony that was about to be held in the Northern Capital, no caravan would choose to head straight for the northernmost Green Maple Valley.

After all, caravans that have gained the approval of Qingfeng Territory are not just loose, temporary groups.

Charles could easily handle the scattered small caravans, since there weren't any big merchants among them who could enter Green Maple Valley.

So, Valera decided to stay at the castle for a while and help Chesca, who was already going crazy with work.

After handing things over with Chesca, Katarina simply went back to her lair to sleep.

She has indeed had a tough time lately, and her mind has been constantly on edge... Even if she's usually carefree, she still gets a little nervous when facing such a powerful god at all times and having to be ready to run away at any moment.

Can understand.

However, Chesca, having received so much, was truly going mad.

After hearing the Hamilton family's understanding of Lowry's slumber, Chesca would certainly not allow anyone to disturb Lowry's sweet dreams.
