Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 915 Each with their own ulterior motives, engaging in flirtatious behavior

Yuri lowered his head slightly and said softly, "That's not my responsibility, Ms. Pat."

Even if storms, the earth, and even the sun are involved in this game, so what?

They clearly intended to examine their followers before His Majesty Travis officially came out.

Upon hearing Darlin's strange opening, Yuri guessed the truth... At this point, this situation was quite normal.

This is the last chance for the gods to cleanse their respective churches.

The Church of Earth goes without saying; those guys are willing to cooperate with other divine forces at all costs in their struggle for beliefs, just to eliminate their own comrades.

Those grassland kingdoms, despite having strong foundations, have all failed to develop and are not as powerful as the nations supported by the reckless and unruly followers of the Dark Night.

After all, although the Night Cultists are somewhat extreme in personality and their behavior is not so upright, they are still quite good to their own people.

I can usually defeat my enemies within my church, but not outsiders.

We must fight to the death against adversaries like the Church of Earth, even if it means joining forces with outsiders.

The Lord of the Earth has never been very satisfied with these minor flaws of his believers.

But as a tolerant and benevolent earth, he has no way to strictly prohibit it... His consistent principle is that not violating his laws does not constitute violating the doctrine.

The Lord of the Earth was so powerful that he thought that the minor flaws of humans were 'no big deal'.

Once he realized that the conflict between human believers had crossed his line, he no longer knew how to resolve the issue.

The only bottom line is to set each other's lives as the ultimate principle, and to grant these believers the right to self-exile when the leader leads them down a path they do not agree with, as well as the right to reject external forces.

As a result, this led to an even greater division among the believers on Earth.

An ambitious and capable believer in the earth might gather a group of people and find a suitable valley to establish their own 'natural home'.

The land of the grasslands, the land tribes, are flourishing everywhere.

However, since the Lord of the Earth had no ambition to dominate the world, he could accept this outcome rather than having to watch his followers fight to the death for a power he didn't even care about.

He was far too lenient.

The state of the statue may even change depending on the manifestation of a certain divinity that believers in Him.

Men are welcome, women are welcome, the old and the young are welcome, and there are no taboos regarding any kind of wild animal form.

The world used to tolerate his tolerance... but it's clearly not going to anymore.

The Lord of the Earth is actually the one who is most resistant to foreign forces and all kinds of changes.

He sincerely hoped that the world would just stay like this.

Even if it makes people on earth live like frogs in a well, it's better than eventually becoming playthings of demons or devils.

Unfortunately, his wishful thinking was completely meaningless.

The world wouldn't allow him to speculate like this, and his followers had their own ideas.

So even though it was always grumbling, dragging its feet, and occasionally holding back, the Lord of the Earth still followed behind the storm and the night, keeping up with the rhythm under the urging of the sunlight.

Among the gods, the Lord of Storms, who has the highest demands on his followers, would naturally join in and even provide experimental cases in order to avoid being speechless and dumbfounded when questioned next time.

The nobles have always resisted the royal family bringing that Lord of Green Maple into the inner circle, and have even gone so far as to spread rumors to slander him, simply because Lowry's standards in this regard are a bit too high!

Who would expect someone who dares to publicly hold the Lord of Storms accountable to remain silent when faced with a mess made by incompetent people?
While Leon and Yuri wouldn't necessarily disturb Lori's slumber by inviting him to the capital to suppress the entire situation, even just occasionally muttering a few words could give them a significant advantage in certain appointments and removals.

After all, the positions that Leon replaced were all rightfully his after the new king ascended the throne.

However, in the power game between royalty and nobility, this is something the new king has to reach out and snatch back.

As long as the replacements for Leon are not too far off, there shouldn't be any major problems if he manages to secure the prize.

Lori Montes is qualified for every single one of these positions.

Even knowing that the man was unlikely to actually do it, the nobles weren't taking any chances... If Leon was willing to offer a good price, the man would certainly be willing to spend some time acting as a middleman.

This threat is entirely real.

So they slid on their knees fast enough.

If mortals are like this, let alone the Storm Lord with his extremely high self-esteem!
As for the Goddess of the Night, well, she's definitely the most enthusiastic one when it comes to this kind of thing.

She didn't leave the remnant soul of the rain goddess in her church so that the rain would undermine her.

It could even be said that those who were lured by the rain were loyal ministers and generals in the eyes of the Goddess of the Night.

As a result, these people even helped Rainwater create a complete network within the Church of the Night, complete with everything from top to bottom.

The goddess of the night was inherently a bit extreme in temperament.

It's perfectly normal for her to spend decades researching a labyrinth that can explore the minds of believers.

The goddess of the night has always enjoyed testing the faith of her followers.

Yuri, whose mind was filled with countless thoughts, suddenly felt a fragrant breeze gently blowing against the back of his neck.

His body stiffened slightly, then quickly relaxed. "You just need to stay here and wait for the outcome, right?" Sensing Yuri's relaxation, Pat said softly, "It's a game of gods. You won't die no matter how much you suffer. It's not like the Tower of Mist."

You're not planning to go in and participate by yourself, are you? Hmm~

"Want to grab a drink together?" Yuri smiled slightly.

We can't expect the lady to speak for everything.

He actually had some thoughts on some things.

After learning that he was the son of a witch, his only worry was whether he would be used by the tower.

Therefore, no matter how many troubles his family had, Yuri knelt devoutly before the statue of the Lord of Storms.

He initially focused on learning healing magic, especially purification magic, which was something he was concerned about.

The Lord of the Tower is always very cautious. Even if there is a way to attack him, as long as he is under the Lord of the Storm's watchful eye and can still use the exclusive divine magic of the Church of the Storm, he will definitely choose to avoid him.

Unless absolutely necessary, the Lord of the Tower, who cannot even leave the earth, will certainly not confront the Lord of the Storm head-on.

The Lord of Storms has exceeded the limit; at most, he will sacrifice a little divine power.

He... might just return to chaos again!
During this time, Yuri also consulted some secret documents of the royal family and confirmed that the witch's bloodline could not affect the future of boys... unless Yuri's father was also a believer in the Tower.

No wonder His Majesty Travis didn't see him as a threat.

But Yuri still felt uncertain.

What if his birth mother left behind some means to control him?

His Majesty Travis must have some way to save him, but Yuri doesn't intend to rely entirely on others.

He needed to learn some information about the secret location from Pat.

For example, are those witches truly as loyal to the Tower Lord as the legends say, and would never betray him?
If she has any last hope, will she use it to save herself or to help her master?
Yuri needs to figure all of this out.

Yuri didn't care what Pat's purpose was.

Wanting his child won't be so easy.

Men who enjoy a life of debauchery should be aware of the need to prevent future troubles.

The man and woman, each with their own ulterior motives, laughed ambiguously, completely oblivious to the terrified nobles around them.

Of course, they also ignored Miss Darlene, who was taking her acting extremely seriously.
-
Brutus could pretend he didn't see the couple, well, the man and woman flirting, but he couldn't help but look at his 'daughter' kneeling on the steps, one hand on the ground and the other on her forehead, groaning in pain.

Darlene overreacted.

Many of the nobles who knew a little about the Edwards family had already guessed the truth, and their expressions toward him were extremely strange.

He even kept looking at Patrick, who was standing next to Wyatt.

Of course, all eyes eventually fell on Brutus's face.

Obviously, if this family isn't very proper, then Brutus, who can just watch his son cause trouble, must also be a bit abnormal.

On the contrary, the Marquis of Edwards was overlooked.

After all, this guy is a pure shrewd businessman; he's willing to do anything as long as he can make money.

Brutus glared fiercely at his father, who was trying to avoid his gaze, but he still had to step in and take control of the situation.

After all, as long as no one responded, Miss Darlene clearly had no intention of stopping her wailing.

Even setting aside the facts, Edwards, as the head of the household, has an obligation to step forward.

“Miss Darlene! Where did the little thief who stole your treasure run off to?” Brutus said, enunciating each word clearly. “Please tell us so we can help you.”

Even though he tried to remain rational, he still couldn't continue using honorifics.

Darlene finally stopped her unusually affected crying... The way the little boy imagined a woman made most of the people in the hall extremely embarrassed.

It's not that Darlene's pose was unattractive.

He has quite an imagination.

But how to put it... men just feel embarrassed when they see it, and women just want to punch him.

But Darlene herself didn't feel that way at all.

She proudly raised her head and began in a chanting tone: "At the end of the left corridor, behind the moonlit prairie tapestry, lies a mysterious cave."

The little thief I was chasing, having nowhere else to go, crawled inside.

Kind warrior, please find my treasure.

All the spoils, except for the treasures, belong to you.

Even if it's a gold mine, it's a divine artifact.

"Are you saying there really is a divine artifact inside?" Brutus replied, his face ashen.
