Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 895 Kyle in the pit is pulling people out
Actually, Pat didn't care much about Kyle.

Although in the Tower of Secrets, she was able to cooperate with Kyle, temporarily stand on the same side, and have some trust in each other.

But that wasn't based on the fact that they found each other agreeable.

Rather, before their character is damaged and transformed, they all have a fundamental bottom line: to stand upright and honorable before Lori and Agris at all times.

Of course, she was mainly after Aggris, while Kyle was after Lori.

But the mother and child were going to be together forever anyway, so there wasn't much difference.

After the death of Count Montes, the only man who could make Agriss relinquish her desire for freedom, no one could separate her from her son.

This certainly doesn't mean they'll be inseparable or stick together all the time.

Actually, the mother and son have very different preferences and lifestyles, and they will get tired of each other if they stay together for a long time.

Even if Agris lived in Lori’s castle, she would only choose to live alone next door.

Otherwise, Lori's standard mage life... without any regularity, completely unrestrained, a lifestyle completely different from that of the well-behaved knight Agris, would be enough to drive an orderly great knight mad.

Love can indeed overcome many problems, but it doesn't address the fundamental differences caused by personality and profession.

However, for Agris, no matter where she goes or where she goes, the place where Lori is will always be her true home.

The same goes for Lowry.

As for why Count Montes was an exception... Pat scoffed dismissively... Of course, it wasn't because of any love.

That was Agris's commitment to protecting himself as a great knight.

As long as Count Montes does not break his promise to Agris during the initial engagement, she will continue to act in accordance with the requirements of the engagement.

Although Pat always felt that Aragris's approach was too naive, Aragris's knightly path, which had not been hindered by those troubles over the years, seemed to prove the correctness of her approach.

Perhaps, as the Lord of the Tower once said, knights who inherit their lineage through blood and swordsmen who rely on willpower to break through the limits of the human body are both martial professions, but they are fundamentally on two different paths.

A knight's emotions and his level of self-acceptance will affect his or her performance.

Of course, all of this requires bloodline as the key to open that door.

The knight's difficulty lies in whether his bloodline allows him to go that far.

During his time in the army, Pat witnessed countless knights of unwavering will suffering because their knight cores could not be inscribed with their bloodline specialties.

Many riders are forced to choose the most basic, popular specialties because they don't have enough money to support them in developing specialties that require a lot of effort and resources.

People who choose this specialty will find it difficult to even reach level 12.

After all, without resonating with the power of one's own bloodline, one cannot sense the power of the laws.

For a level 12 knight, the first step is to communicate with the laws of magic, imbuing their attacks with magical energy.

However, the poor can only exchange time for money, and it is difficult for them to exchange money for time.

Many people probably wouldn't even dare to imagine it, and just drift through their lives in a daze.

Actually, life is easier if you don't think about things so clearly.

Pat saw many intelligent people choose to deceive themselves at that moment.

After all, although they are intelligent and capable, they are not smart enough to break free from the constraints of their background.

They are completely different from some knights who are clearly less talented than them, but have their families supporting them.

However, most of these knights who can buy time with money still cannot break through the level 12 limit.

Without experiencing trials and tribulations, it's difficult for them to have the unwavering courage to make breakthroughs.

This is probably what the Lord of the Tower meant by emotions guiding the soul.

While the advancement of swordsmen may seem similar, they are actually completely different things.

Swordsmen only achieve mastery through natural progression, not through accidental bursts of skill.

Even if the time for advancement may come at any moment, the swordsman will surely have made all the necessary preparations long before that.

Only when one's strength and skills have reached the requirements for advancement can one naturally reach the peak.

As for willpower, it is the least important thing for a swordsman to emphasize.

By embarking on this path, their willpower already surpasses that of ninety percent of knights.

Pat sighed softly... So, if a knight goes down the wrong path, it's really hard to turn back.

His blood and soul will carry him down that wrong path forever.

Even if you're wrong, you can only make the best of a bad situation.

After all, once you regret it, even if you abandon evil and turn to good, you will still cut off your future.

On the contrary, a swordsman, as long as it is a decision made from the heart, is still himself even if he changes his ways.

Whether he can continue depends on whether he can continue to endure hardship.

Pat is now in a situation where she knows there's a tiger in the mountain, yet she still has to put herself in its clutches. She stretched out her hand and stared at her palm for a long time.

Lowry often learned some nonsense from wandering merchants outside, such as that if there is an X shape in the lines on the palm, it means that the person is under excessive mental stress.

If there are several, it means that prolonged mental stress has led to self-doubt.

At that time, Lowry simply didn't want Agris to force him to eat nutritious but tasteless food.

However, Pat is now starting to believe this claim.

After all, her once extremely smooth palms now have two X's between two horizontal lines... You must know, her palms have been tempered and refined to the point of being able to hold a sword.

The lines on my palm have long since taken the shape of a sword hilt.

For so many years, she had stayed in the tower and watched those evil and shameless things happen around her, and she had never hesitated like this before... With her almost invisible conscience, ensuring that she would not do evil was already her greatest commitment.

The idea that she would suffer because someone else is committing a crime is something that would never happen to Pat.

Until this time, I was inexplicably tricked by Kyle.

That's right, I got tricked by that guy!
Pat finally came to her senses and understood why the Lord of the Tower insisted that she have a child to take back with her.

It doesn't matter who she bears the child for; what matters is that she, with her Gezar bloodline, absolutely cannot have a child with Kyle.

The Tower Lord's paranoia has always been as heavy as an iceberg, and no matter how much Pat promises that she will never be able to convince him, she cannot.

Kyle is very likely a key piece in his grand scheme, and there is no room for error.

From the day she agreed to Kyle's plan, Pat dug herself a huge hole.

Unless she finds a decent man to give birth to the child... and the child is born healthy and unharmed, she can forget about living a peaceful life.

This is even more troublesome than being recorded by divine fire!
Pat knew that this time she really needed to think it over carefully.

Pat pulled out the seashell book again and wrote down his hopes with a serious expression: "Which of those men not in the book won't get married soon, and definitely won't try to take my child away from me?"

"Are you crazy?"

"What medicine did you take wrong that made you suddenly develop maternal love at the age when you should be a grandmother? Tell me to ward off evil spirits for the ladies."

Has the Earth Church invaded the secret realm of the High Tower?

…………

Pat felt extremely conflicted as he watched the string of words burst forth simultaneously, almost bursting off the page.

But more than the shame of being silently spied on by so many people, she was secretly pleased that there were enough people to answer her questions... Embarrassing things only need to be done once.

If this happens a few more times, even the thick skin she's developed from years of hard work in the tower might not be able to withstand it.

She slowly wrote down an absolutely true but only briefly stated reason: "I am getting old and need an heir who can help share the heavy responsibility."

"Both men and women are welcome?" A line of text jumped out succinctly.

“Even Darkmoon doesn’t require its children to be female, what are you thinking?” Pat was a little confused.

"Oh? But I heard that some people on the other side of the tower only take their daughters with them."

Pat carefully examined the name of the person who wrote the text, and only after confirming that she hadn't mistaken the person did she speak her mind with a puzzled expression: "Can you please not write things that immediately reveal who your informant is!"

I specifically used Darkmoon as an example, don't you understand?

This is why she hasn't used this booklet much over the years.

The reason why the women of decades ago were so unrestrained was because they were young and impetuous.

Decades later... they were all in high positions.

Not liking to deal with men in political circles doesn't mean they can't wield power themselves.

After all, the foundation that allows them to live so freely is their strength.

Even if some people seem to wield very little power, such as a merchant guild or even just making a living by collecting rent... in a world where nobles habitually use their power to force the weak to yield, how could someone who can easily protect their money and extravagant lifestyle not be powerful?

Therefore, even though everyone tries their best not to involve real-world matters in this circle, they still can't avoid testing each other.

The apprentice Darkmoon, responsible for collecting information from the people, and the wandering merchant who doesn't even have a caravan, can be best friends who can talk about anything.

They can even share some 'interesting' information.

In short, one party only needs the information, and the other party needs the money-making opportunities revealed after analyzing the information.

However, the high priest in the Temple of the Night and the caravan leader of the Church of Wealth can no longer be completely honest with each other.

No matter how hard they try to avoid it, they can't change the fact that they can only communicate indirectly or even through conversations with other people.

They actually know each other very well, and can guess what the other is thinking with just a few subtle movements, so it's not too bad.

But that terrible change sent a chill down one's spine.
