Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 885 Luscania's Fair Trade
To refine Chongyang True Iron, you need a flame with positive energy... It's easy to get this stuff in the Heavenly Mountain; just throw it into their natural volcano. But who outside has that ability?

Of course, it's not surprising that Lowry can do that.

However, Luscania didn't think he could do it so easily.

In addition, Lowry offered an extremely fair price... based on the standard price of the multiverse, exchanged in pounds.

For example, Hunyuan Liquid Gold costs 750 gold per pound, while Aurora Color Steel costs 4000 gold per pound. Add to that 700 gold per pound of activated gold, and then compare it to Chongyang True Iron, which costs 1000 gold per pound... No matter how much or how little you use, just take the middle price.

After all, Luscania's size speaks for itself!
Even the least used Aurora Color Steel requires at least 10 pounds, not to mention the other two.

This doesn't even include other auxiliary resources!

The gold coins they used as currency were certainly not the gold coins commonly used in human society.

No matter how nicely it's described, that thing can't possibly be pure gold.

It was only the power of the goddess of wealth that ensured the value of these currencies.

But these things meant nothing to Lori and Luscania, so they used pure gold of equal weight as their unit of measurement.

Travis initially couldn't quite understand how their deal was being made.

After all, he knew that those evil outsiders preferred gold coins.

The more powerful a nation's currency, the more they like it... Although the value of the currency is no different due to the existence of the Goddess of Wealth, those people clearly prefer the gold coins of the Northlands or the Dark Lands.

Although he didn't know the reason, he could still sense that the existence of money itself was meaningful.

Then I learned some information about desire, soul, and taste from Luscania.

To a powerful demon, gold, which can be found anywhere in the multiverse, is meaningless in itself. What is valuable is the desire and emotion contained within these gold coins as they circulate in the hands of countless people.

As beings of the soul, demons also possess attributes.

If those outsiders prefer the gold coins in the chaotic areas, it proves that they themselves are more inclined to exploit the desires of killing, greed, and fear.

But if you like the North and the night, it means you have a stronger preference for emotions like joy, happiness, and contentment, and of course, perhaps even lust.

This shows that the demons that invaded this world do not want it to fall into war and panic.

He is a typical order-obsessed devil, who likes to hide in the shadows and satisfy his desires.

Sebefia's performance also proves this point.

Although they implemented oppressive policies in their own country, after the country collapsed and they fled to the North, they only wanted to be like the longhorn beetle sucking sap from the delicious tree in the North, and they never thought of causing any waves in the North.

Although they later attempted to seize power quietly, what they clearly wanted was still a complete country.

Among the creatures of hell, this is already considered an extremely harmless being.

Although Travis, who was the target of control, did not agree with this statement, he could not say that these devils were wicked and troublesome.

They only wanted to play dirty tricks; they didn't intend to burn, kill, or plunder.

Although the consequences are terrible, this kind of subtle infiltration invasion, which doesn't cause much of a stir, won't work if they react too strongly.

People who can foresee a crisis a few years from now are extremely rare, let alone the distant future.

Therefore, the way the Goddess of the Night does things is indeed necessary.

Once she has a handle on someone who has offended her, she can act without hesitation... although this is a completely undeserved disaster for Lori.

However, prioritizing the overall situation is...

Fortunately, Lowry is the kind of person who doesn't suffer losses. If he had put the bigger picture first and swallowed his anger, it would have been really difficult for him to get revenge.

After all, the goddess of the night truly dedicated herself to the entire world.

Even her current imitation and pursuit of the two moon goddesses of Toril, although primarily for her own power, cannot be said to be without the benefit of the entire world.

Although she had suppressed the aspects of moonlight and darkness very well all along, after the fall of the world's will, those two aspects appeared more frequently.

When they begin to take an interest in the things on earth and develop their own selfish desires, they will inevitably have a desire to exist for a long time.

Dark Night's nature is willful and domineering, and her appearance reflects this.

If they don't separate completely soon, something terrible is likely to happen.

The only thing Travis couldn't be sure of was how the Goddess of the Night could guarantee that the two faces would become real while she herself was present.

Can this be accomplished solely with the power of Toril's Twin Moons?
Travis felt that something was off.

He felt that Luscania's extreme caution, even going so far as to spend a fortune to have Lowry make the armor, was likely due to his persistent unease.

But at this point, he couldn't say much, so he could only ask with a smile, "Is this deal between you and Lowry really that fair?"

“Hmm…” Luscania hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “Look, my Chongyang True Iron, although it’s not that valuable, is really rare!”

"Looks like you got a little something out of it after all," Travis couldn't help but laugh. "What did Lowry give you?"

“Chongyang True Iron is a very difficult material to forge. Even if Lori can ignite the Flame of Light, it will still require a significant amount of his mental energy.” Luscania chuckled twice. “If we only exchange the material for its regular value, then it’s indeed a break-even situation. But, isn’t Lori supposed to help me forge this armor?”

In other worlds, commissioning the forging of extraordinary equipment containing Chongyang True Iron would actually incur additional costs for its crafting.

“Hmm… well, you do get a bit of an advantage here.” Travis understood Luscania’s feelings perfectly. “It just so happens that you don’t want to argue with your friends too much, so this is just right.”

Luscania is similar to him in this respect; fairness can also be a form of loss.

After all, they had to put in so much effort to calculate in order to complete the transaction!

The effort required should also be factored into the cost.

But it's not good to be too calculating with a good friend like Lowry... mainly because Lowry knows all about these things and can't be fooled at all.

If things go a little too far, he might not say anything, but if he goes too far, Lowry will definitely start his sarcastic remarks.

The child's language skills were so rich that even he and Luscania combined couldn't keep up.

Furthermore, they also cherish their friendship with Lowry.

Nobody is a fool, and nobody wants to be treated like a fool forever.

If this kind of thing happens too often, it will definitely lead to the worst possible outcome.

After that, his and Luscania's attitude towards Lori was: they had to step slightly beyond that line of fairness.

It's just a little bit; as long as their emotional needs are met, that's enough.

For example, the Luscania trade... Although Lowry suffered some losses due to labor costs, he had a chance to practice!

That child likely chose to remain silent because of this.

Travis didn't think Lowry knew nothing.

"Tsk~" Luscania, who was speaking happily, made a disdainful sound. "Idiot, you didn't run away just now, and now it's too late!"

The magic array in the Northern Royal Palace is a completely enclosed type.

Everything below the cloud is under control.

She had considered the angle when she made the impact.

While the spatial gap was still there, they rammed the ship directly into the control range of the magic array.

Even if it was a small gift she gave to Leon... of course, they had to come and collect it themselves.

If you're not careful, the gift might just fly away.

Unfortunately, the creatures on that magic ship seemed quite easily excitable, and they actually failed to fly inside before the spatial rift disappeared.

"It seems you and Leon have been getting along quite well lately," Travis said with a smile.

“Leon is out of the question. Of your family, only you and I can tolerate him, since there’s nothing we can do about it.” Luscania quickly denied it. “But Yuri is really nice, and so is that Milian.”

Sincere people are the most lovable, aren't they?

Travis was a little confused: "Leon is great! He's probably the most principled person in our family, even Ezra isn't as principled as him."

"Ha~ My God~ Travis, are you kidding me?" Luscania asked, completely puzzled. "I'm a white dragon, and Lori is a humanoid dragon. I'm the white dragon with the most principles, and Lori is the humanoid dragon with the most flexible principles... Which one of us do you think has a higher moral standard?"
Please stop telling jokes!

Also, your Leon is almost at the door, are you still going to stay here?

"Hmm?" Travis couldn't help but glance at it. "He's just going to ignore it?"
Are we leaving the magic ship and those six-armed snake-man replicas to Yuri to deal with?

Leon was indeed already standing in front of the gate, completely ignoring the noise behind him.

Travis could only reluctantly return to his body.

He waved and opened the gates of the Wind Palace.

Leon straightened his clothes and walked in decisively.

Although the scene behind them was chaotic, the onlookers were all in the most respectful posture in the history of the North... The height of the light barrier was relatively low, so most people could only choose to lower themselves down.

Although many people simply sat on the ground, they still had others around, so their posture was very... dignified.

Especially for female noblewomen, in order not to let their luxurious dresses take up too much space, they would even kneel on the ground.

Although they don't look very impressive up close, from inside the Wind Palace, it appears as if everyone is kneeling respectfully in celebration of Leon's ascension to the throne.

“That’s really good,” Travis exclaimed sincerely. “Your coronation painting must be the most impressive one yet.”

Why didn't I think of this trick back then?

Ah, that's true. Back then, I didn't have such a skilled mage to help me.

"Right? Al-Saran."
