Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 913 The New Game of the Lord of Knowledge
Wyatt suddenly realized something, and he turned to look at Patrick, asking in a low voice, "Could it be a joke by Ms. Luscania?"

"White Dragon isn't good at human transformation... right?" his nephew said hesitantly.

Wyatt nodded irritably.

He vaguely remembered that although the white dragon could transform into a human, it was always in a fixed form, more like a talent.

Adults can learn it.

Luscania seems to have gotten there earlier because of her soul pact with Travis.

Otherwise, those two wouldn't have caused so much trouble for the Church of Wealth and the Church of Earth back then.

One person and one dragon are easy to find, but two young people can really easily hide in the crowd.

There are so many adventurers!
The Northern Kingdom is considered to have a relatively good understanding of some of the dragons' talents, after all, they had fought and killed them before, and later... they even had a white dragon lady who loved to tell racial jokes.

Although the Edwards family was not of high status, they were still well-informed.

Sometimes, money can't buy power, but information related to power is still acceptable.

After all, all it takes is for the person in power to loosen their grip slightly.

Ms. Luscania's temperament and personality are the kind of information that can be shared openly.

After all, this was a show of mercy from His Majesty Travis to prevent fools from provoking his allies.

And, if the fool remains unrepentant, His Majesty will no longer offer the reminder that He "has to forgive the ignorant."

At least from the information Wyatt had, Luscania was quite adept at using spell-like abilities, but she preferred a more direct and aggressive fighting style. Even when she used tactics, they were mostly offensive attacks, and she rarely had the patience for subtle maneuvers or gradual advances.

Transformation, a spell for which she had absolutely no need to waste her energy, she…

and many more!

Wyatt abruptly turned to look at his nephew... If they didn't know who had done the dirty work on David, how could Patrick and his sister-in-law have been having so much fun?
Clearly, they already knew that this behavior was harmless.

Wyatt stared intently at his nephew, whose smile was somewhat forced but still trying to be genuine... So, although it's harmless, it can't be said out loud, because saying it would offend someone.
Who is it?

Surely it's not like Lori Montes suddenly woke up from his inexplicable restorative slumber and the first thing he did was come to the capital to bother his old friend, is it?

Wyatt had a fairly good relationship with Leon and Yuri, and he was well aware of the new king's regret that the lord of Maple Ridge could not attend his coronation ceremony.

In particular, they failed to receive the lord's sincere blessing.

It is said that everyone who has met Lori Montes feels that he is a child kissed by the laws of luck.

Even a chosen one like His Majesty Travis believed that Master Lowry's sincere blessing could bring him good fortune.

Those he wholeheartedly resented all met tragic ends... Wyatt had already suspected this, and after Luscania's public appearance today, he was even less convinced.

Rather than saying that Lori Montes' enemies were all averse to the laws of luck, it's more accurate to say that this rather powerful mage knew how to eliminate any threat at its root.

Moreover, they were adept at exploiting factional struggles and the sycophancy of nobles.

Wyatt always felt that the good fortune he was receiving was likely due to praise from people who knew him, but the bad luck was more likely to come from the enemies of the mage, Lori. After all, wasn't the first one to suffer misfortune, the one that Lori hated, the one who was the first to fall into bad luck, the former Earl Montes?
Wyatt was always good at analyzing problems from an outsider's perspective, so he could easily see that the new Earl of Montes was backed by his uncle's protection.

Even though everyone says it's Lori Montes's benevolent and tolerant nature, Wyatt really doesn't think that someone who can make His Majesty Travis and Archmage Alsara so difficult could be so kind, so kind as to be almost weak.

That only proves that Lori Montes did not hate her father and brothers as much as the legends say.

At most, they're annoyed and too lazy to bother with it, but when they see their unfortunate nephew, they're willing to offer him some protection.

Once you understand this point, you'll realize that Master Lowry is definitely not a harbinger of misfortune.

It can only be said that although this powerful mage rarely appears in the center of power, he is the object of extreme vigilance for most power seekers.

It is true.

His Majesty Travis's trust in the Lord of Maple Ridge is well-known, and even his close companion Luscania is very close to Lori Montes.

Although the new King Leon doesn't have any overtly famous interactions with that person, the fact that they've been neighbors for decades without any disputes proves that there must be some connection between them.

Moreover, they have a pretty good relationship.

Of course, most importantly, His Majesty Leon often muttered things like, "If only Lori were nearby," when he encountered trouble.

Whether it's just their own perception or the monk Lowry was truly blessed with good fortune, it poses a significant threat to those who aspire to the very center of power.

The common practice among the nobility is that all efforts must be made only after eliminating all negative effects.

Luck is indeed very good.

But if you're not careful, you might bring bad luck, then you have to think carefully about whether you should take the risk.

In fact, these rumors weren't entirely without effect. Even though His Majesty Leon kept mentioning the mage, the officials, both inside and outside the court, who were in charge of handling various affairs, showed absolutely no interest in it. When no one wanted to share His Majesty's burdens, there was certainly no one who would disturb the mage's slumber.

While Yuri and his fellow scholars might not harbor the same negative thoughts as outsiders, as acquaintances with principles, they would never do anything that could potentially harm Master Lori.

Wyatt really doesn't think... um... um?

"Why are you pulling me, Patrick?" he asked, annoyed.

“I have a feeling that you’re thinking about something that could get you into big trouble,” Patrick said in a low voice. “You’d better think carefully about what I just said.”

However, I certainly won't repeat it again; you can figure it out yourself.

Wyatt was stunned for a while before he realized that David had gotten into trouble while seeking help from the female knight.

If he were to say those things out loud, he would definitely be in big trouble.

Luscania is indeed gone, but the Pat people are still here!

This woman was deeply moved because the child she had watched grow up had not forgotten her grief!

Wyatt misspoke. The longsword that could pierce the Storm High Priest with several holes should have been used to bleed him.

He slowly revealed an awkward smile: "Oh~~ I was thinking, David, Darlene should be making a move by now, right?"

She certainly didn't go to her father's place just to watch the commotion up close.
-
Pat, who was staring blankly at the wall lamp, suddenly twitched his ears.

She vaguely heard something interesting.

Just then, her mental fluctuations were a bit too much, which attracted the attention of the Tower Lord.

Although the Lord of the Tower had long known about the deep affection between her, Agris, and Lori, there was no need to keep bringing it up in front of him.

The Lord of the Tower, perhaps because he was so badly shattered when he fell, is still somewhat chaotic even after being resurrected and put in his rightful place.

But he wasn't always in a state of confusion.

Generally speaking, the Lord of the Tower is very logical and systematic when planning his conspiracies and schemes, and he is even patient and persistent.

But occasionally he would suddenly come up with a terrible idea and insist that people carry it out.

The only saving grace is that the Lord of the Tower actually knew he was being foolish.

Therefore, as long as the Tower followers have done their best to complete the task, he doesn't care whether they succeed or not.

But Pat was unwilling for the Tower Lord to focus his attention on Lori, no, it should be on Agris.

In fact, both she and Lori were trying to erase the presence of Agriss from the face of this impending catastrophe.

After all, both Lowry and she had their own troublesome aspects.

But all this troublesomeness will disappear because of Agris.

Who knows if someone might suddenly lose their mind and think they can take advantage of Agris... um...

Pat quickly suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, strained his ears, and turned his body towards the front of the hall, trying to grasp some inspiration.

Her focused attention indeed piqued the curiosity of the tower's master, who had been casually observing the area: "What are you looking at?"

"There seems to be something wrong with that only girl in purple up ahead," Pat replied lazily. "I haven't figured it out yet."

"Oh? Oh~ It's a boy~" The Tower Lord observed for a few seconds before giving his answer, "A very skillful human transformation technique. For a Northern Mage, it would have to be at least the level of Arsalan, or even Lori, to do it."

“Al-Saran shouldn’t be that bored. Didn’t you say he was tinkering with his Star Fortress last time?” Pat replied lightly. “As for Lowry, he should still be sleeping.”

"I know he's still asleep," the Tower Lord replied calmly. "The air in Azure Maple Territory is filled with sweet dreams right now."

I'm just afraid you won't know and might do something impulsive and foolish.

While I can usually guarantee I won't consider taking advantage of your feelings, that doesn't mean I'll never do so.

Pat, of course, understood his initial warning, and she said with tender affection, "How could that be? Leaving everything behind the past is my truest expression of love."

"You know that much," the Tower Lord said calmly. "Then don't get inexplicably agitated over those little romantic entanglements."

It's affecting me.

“It sounds like you’re having a great time at Scroll Mountain!” Pat couldn’t help but laugh.

"The Lord of Knowledge is playing a very new game, and I sometimes can't help but play along with him," the Lord of the Tower replied enigmatically.
