Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 904 Edwards, who loves mathematics

His Majesty Travis was so powerful, and even had dragons by his side. In the first ten years, there were people who tried to attack him directly!

However, Yuri's safety is guaranteed by one major factor.

Your Majesty Leon.

He used his unwavering will to make everyone understand that Yuri was both his weakness and his reason.

The secret love stories that kept circulating among the young people were, in a way, a warning from His Majesty Leon to the royal family and the nobility.

No matter how much infighting occurs among the members of the Northern royal family, they will still try their best to avoid digging their own grave.

If the honor of the royal family can be preserved, that would be the best outcome.

Leon's threat actually struck at the heart of many proud royal powerhouses.

The previous king who created the "uncrowned queen" at least took a fancy to a widow. Given that he was willing to leave his throne to his brother, the nobles, and even people from other countries, at most scoffed at his love-struck behavior, but didn't dwell on it.

As time passed, apart from the northern nobles who still needed to remember history, no one remembered that 'affectionate' king.

However, if the 'uncrowned queen' of the North were to become a man... the Northern royal family would likely be remembered for tens of thousands of years.

This is not a relationship issue at all.

There are plenty of people with unusual hobbies. It's not uncommon for a man to fall in love with a tree or a bird.

But none of them were kings of the North.

To put it bluntly, if he had displayed his beautiful emotions before inheriting the throne, the previous king would have been insane to leave the throne to him.

Instead of having him go through the trouble, wouldn't it be better to just give it to his younger brother?
At least I can choose for myself.

But who can resist the idea of ​​a king who gets caught up in a strange love affair after ascending to the throne?
Leon's threat was subtle, but it was indeed very effective.

The members of the Northern royal family have always been extremely trusting of Yuri's orders, but they don't want Leon to one day say something like, "Yuri isn't qualified, so I'll give him the uncrowned crown instead."

Actually, nobody believed that the two of them were really having an affair.

The key question is, would Leon really go that crazy?

His Majesty Leon's only remaining rationality was that he hadn't yet handed over the affairs of the dressing room to Yuri.

That was the last piece of clothing separating the two of them.

While His Majesty Leon may not have been interested in marriage and children, he may have left some room for his beloved family and friends.

Even though everyone knows that removing these two items from this dress will only result in a size comparison, it's still quite important whether or not this dress is worn.

Each king in the North had his own stubbornness, and no one could force him to change.

His Majesty Travis may seem shrewd, but he's not much better in reality.

This can be seen from the fact that he insisted on leaving the throne to Leon, who harbored a hidden hostility towards the royal family and the nobles, and whose dark thoughts were that he wanted to end things by killing each other.

As for the nobles... their children, sensing His Majesty Leon's leniency in this matter, did not hold back their little mouths.

After all, this is something that deserves to be talked about at length.

When there are no laws or taboos, one is naturally bored out of one's mind.

However, once these children's empty words become reality, their initial pronouncements could very well become tempting flames... While the royal family is burned to death, they will certainly not let go of certain nobles who fueled the flames.

The royal families of the North have always had the courage to fight to the death.

Although not many nobles can see this, those who can truly cause trouble for His Majesty Leon are certainly among them.

Just by sacrificing a little reputation, they've put members of the royal family and nobles in a dilemma... Leon and Yuri truly deserve to be called ruthless characters who have survived the treacherous world of adventurers.

His shamelessness is comparable to that of His Majesty Travis, who reigned for a hundred years.

Oh, this handsome scholar Yuri, whose beauty gives foundation to all fantasies, is actually quite scoundrel-like... murky.

The scholars who were acquainted with Brutus seemed to be from two different worlds.

Brutus quickly took a few steps forward and bowed to the scholar Yuri, who was slowly walking around the corridor, in his most sincere voice: "Welcome, Your Excellency Yuri."

The Edwards family is deeply honored.

"Oh~ This is a surprise too." The scholar, dressed in a sky-blue robe with gold dragon patterns, smiled.

Brutus laughed and said gratefully, "Please allow me to show you the way."

He turned around, took a small half-step back, and led Yuri sideways... towards the particularly beautiful welcome wall that had been standing in front of him.

Each guest entering through the main gate is led, according to their status, down a long corridor from the two enormous crystal vases filled with flowers, past a luxurious and exquisite wall depicting the majestic castle of the Marquis of Edwards.

Then, enter the banquet hall through two exquisite doors along the corridor.

However, Brutus led Yuri directly toward the wall.

Yuri, who had visited Edwards’ mansion before, tilted his head in surprise… However, back then, he was still Wyatt’s cronies, and he didn’t walk down the corridor, but came directly from Wyatt’s living room.

He certainly wasn't aware of some of the subtle tactics that only appeared at formal banquets.

Wyatt at that time probably didn't even know.

After all... they were still naive and ignorant young men.

Brutus stood between two crystal vases and seemingly casually patted them a few times.

The vase immediately slid to the sides, and the mural wall behind it slowly moved downwards. Yuri was indeed surprised.

However, it seemed that the nobles who were talking to him were even more surprised.

Of course, their distance isn't exactly close.

After all, the space behind the mural appears to be a small platform... which is usually used to arrange performances by bards and bands.

Yuri only needs to go up one step.

But on the other side, there were clearly at least three steps.

No wonder no one noticed that the Edwards's house had this door that was never opened.

This is not magic, but rather it utilizes subtle human vision and senses to create a sense of dislocation by using steps to descend a gentle slope.

The Edwards family truly lives up to its reputation for expertise in statistics and mathematics.

Even scholars, after learning to use magical formulas for calculation and drawing, rarely consider the meaning of mathematics itself anymore.

Magic is all-powerful.

Yuri was also once misled by this idea.

After all, the results he derived using mathematical fundamentals could be answered by a spell with just a single rune string... or even in just a few seconds.

But if I try to figure it out myself, it will take at least a whole day.

It seems like I've really wasted my time.

Even during the period when his academic progress slowed down, Yuri did not have the idea of ​​picking up mathematics again.

Until he saw the complex magic array calculations of Lori in Qingfeng Territory.

That child has an exceptional talent for magic; he can even easily cast spells beyond his level.

The computational runes that even a third-level scholar can use are something that Lori, who has received a proper mage education, could not possibly be unaware of.

But that child, even when his calculations were so complex they made people roll their eyes, never resorted to magic to solve them.

It's not that he doesn't use it at all; he still uses it for pure numerical calculations.

But Lowry would use his own tools to measure everything, from the angles to the sizes.

Although Yuri didn't quite understand it, he could tell that the magic circle drawn in this way was indeed more powerful.

Most importantly, it allows Lowry to fully express himself and modify things however he wants.

This was the first time Yuri had ever seen someone add new functions to a basic magic circle... If it were a standard magic circle, it would have exploded long ago.

Although he couldn't understand it, he had a brain.

Yuri chose to follow along and learn.

It was very difficult at first.

But once he finally broke free from the shackles of magic and learned to draw scrolls according to his own calculations, he finally became a true scroll scholar.

From only being able to draw divine spells as the primary means, they began to learn how to inscribe real spells.

After that, his strength began to increase rapidly.

What stopped him from moving forward was the limits of the world, not his own.

Of course, Yuri had asked for Lori's permission before doing so... Some things, while not exactly secrets to these lineage mages, were invaluable information to a half-baked scholar like himself.

He can't just steal someone else's skills.

Yuri, whose primary means of healing and assisting divine magic, cannot do anything that violates his inner moral compass.

The most important reason why scroll scholars often end up in the realm of the gods is this.

If you memorize other people's divine arts every day and abide by their doctrines and rules, you will eventually become like them.

To avoid this outcome, scroll scholars usually choose to inscribe several special divine spells of gods with the same alignment and similar nature, but this is only a temporary solution, and one of them will always be chosen.

Yuri glanced at Brutus behind him... The Edwards family has always been a knightly family, so is that why they have developed the habit of using basic mathematical concepts?

really not bad.

"Scholar Yuri!"

Marquis Edwards's voice broke the awkward silence. He shook off the old men and annoying fellows around him, and strode up the platform. He walked excitedly toward Yuri and said, "Your arrival is a great honor for the Edwards family!"

Brutus, standing behind Yuri, opened his mouth, then slumped down helplessly... What had gotten into his father that he was talking nonsense?
Of course, the meaning is correct, and everyone can understand it.

But that statement... is a bit...

Anyway, he's Wyatt's biological father, so it's understandable that he might act a little out of line sometimes.

Brooks quickly calmed himself down.

He kept his head down, seemingly oblivious to the commotion ahead.

In reality, he had already memorized all the locations where magical energy was fluctuating.

Yuri's sudden arrival certainly threw many people into disarray.
