Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 924 The Second Earth Selection

Although the Lord of Earth will not compete with the Lord of Storms for believers, there are some things that are truly beyond the control of these gods.

Merchants are different from church members, and also different from the noble children who were baptized by the Storm Church from childhood.

Who truly receives the faith power from those who visit the church only occasionally, and those who pray deeply every day?
The Lord of Storms doesn't care about faith, and the Lord of Earth always likes to play dumb, which is why these things are dealt with in such a chaotic way.

From this perspective, it's not unreasonable that the Storm Church has consistently directed the Northland branch to oppose Travis.

After all, the resources Travis brought to the North were mainly for mining.

Moreover, the tall, strong, and naturally powerful northerners are really well-suited to be miners.

But these people, while staying underground or in mines in the mountains, might pray for the protection of the Lord of Storms, but they also... inevitably pray that the earth will not bring disaster.

This is human nature.

These miners did not consider their actions as conversion, nor did they pray to the Lord of the Earth, but rather to a certain mountain or a certain piece of land.

But these things are meant to point to the Lord of the Earth.

Toronto couldn't help but chuckle... No wonder the Lord of Storms, though he didn't have any complaints about Travis, didn't like him either.

He may not care about faith, but seeing these things happen, he probably feels unhappy about it.

Travis, who was helping others steal his man, still wanted to stand in his camp and become a god... still trying to undermine him.

Yes, the Lord of Storms is indeed very well-mannered.

Toronto soon discovered that the newcomer was not from the herbal medicine area.

He flew over slowly and saw the warrior who had been digging in the soil.

His situation is even more difficult than that of someone who digs for medicinal herbs.

After all, you have to see the metallic gleam shimmering in the soil amidst the dense grass.

Toronto could see it too, but he really had no interest in digging for a little bit of metal gravel.

After all, the gravel was really small, and it was mixed with other metals, such as copper, iron, and zinc.

Although Gloria's interest in herbs was influenced by him, this was originally a weakness of the North people.

In addition, she was the first person to choose the Earth, so the Lord of the Earth had Toronto guide Gloria a little.

However, not everyone can immediately figure out what to do after seeing what Toronto has done.

Most northern nobles have little interest in spices and herbs.

Toronto didn't quite understand why the gods chose young nobles from the North as their primary anchors, but it didn't concern him much.

Despite his good relationship with the gods, Toronto maintained his aloof stance as a sorcerer.

A monk can communicate with deities and even become friends with them, but it is best not to get too close.

Leaving aside the potential influence of laws, the karmic burdens borne by deities from the world might force a mage to waste their precious time researching spells.

Of course, sometimes, even those who aren't that close might be approached by these gods... But when faced with someone they barely know, a mage can open their jaws wide and demand a hefty reward. What about family and friends?

Even if you don't work for free...

Toronto will absolutely not allow itself to fall to that level!
Then he immediately understood why the Lord of the Earth hadn't allowed him to bring people to the Mineral Realm.

That guy clearly doesn't trust his bloodline.

The soil here is a mineral soil with metal particles added in a certain proportion.

Then, in this soil, there are also a large number of gemstone particles... the largest of which is as big as the nail of a pinky finger.

Although a single one isn't worth much, the ones in this patch of land are... well...

Toronto quickly tallied up a huge number in his mind, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Then, the yellow gemstone on his bracelet lit up: "Your slab."

Toronto paused for a moment before placing its crystal slab on top.

Then, a ceremonial short sword carved from a single piece of amethyst slowly appeared, with two purple star-shaped sapphires and a pair of platinum earrings with emeralds placed beside it.

Toronto thought about it for a moment and readily accepted the toll.

Although it's still not as valuable as this mine soil, the value of things can't be calculated like that.

For example, this ceremonial short sword, which is only worth 100,000 gold on the surface, can be sold for ten times the price.

Gods generally don't calculate the historical or cultural value of such things.

But Toronto itself understands.

He knew all too well that if he showed this ceremonial dagger to King Vargas next door, the man would beg him to sell it to him, weeping and pleading.

This was one of the gifts that the first king presented to the Lord of the Earth when Vargas was founded.

Of course, it's not a royal gift. It's the kind of gift that even the most powerful ruler, who receives many gifts from kings, wouldn't give away.

However, it is precisely these treasures, which may not have a major historical significance but still possess their own value, that truly deserve to be valued.

In addition, there were those exquisitely crafted antique emerald earrings... similar items were among the treasures that Agnes Gezar gave to Lady Yagelis back then.

That was Countess Gezar's beloved jewelry from a hundred years ago, and it is said that it cost the count a full ten thousand taels of gold.

In terms of craftsmanship, there is no difference between the Toronto and Toronto versions; they must also be the work of that famous jeweler.

If placed a hundred years from now, the value of these earrings would only be higher.

But even if the Lord of the Earth knew these things, he wouldn't be able to calculate them too clearly.

So, he also took a pair of star-shaped sapphires worth 5000 gold as a supplement.

Of course, if Toronto doesn't put these items out for sale, they're just collectibles... and if they don't circulate, they naturally won't have any monetary value.

Toronto is well aware of the difference.

But he definitely won't sell.

Including those amethysts.

After all, money has essentially lost its meaning for him.

If he wants something now, he can basically only get it by bartering.

Of course, Toronto also understands that the reason the Landlord is so generous is because these things cannot provide any real benefit to Toronto.

There wasn't a single magic gem among what he gave to Toronto.

Previously, the Lord of Storms would start with high-quality items like the Gale Gem.

But Toronto knew very well that, given his relationship with the Lord of the Land, a neutral outcome would be the best possible result.

He calmly put away the toll money and appeared beside the man who was digging the soil with an indifferent expression.

"Huh?" Toronto looked surprised. "What are you doing?"

He was indeed very surprised.

It wasn't because the man was carefully digging out the mineral soil as a whole, and he was also carefully wrapping the excavated soil with a cloth.

Although Toronto didn't know much about these things, he could vaguely see that the soil arranged by the Lord of the Earth was used to distinguish mineral properties.

The presence of a certain type of soil may indicate the presence of a certain type of mineral... a truly perfect course in geological research.

He didn't want Toronto to take action because he knew that if Toronto did, it would create one huge pitfall after another, destroying all the soil layers.

Toronto knew that it was normal for miners who had been chosen by the Lord of the Earth to be able to see these things.

He could even get rid of his covetousness for those gemstone particles and focus on collecting mineral soil with special properties... Regardless of his background, at least he could choose the future over money.

Toronto was surprised to learn that this person was actually from the Edwards family.

Of course, those two ladies, one of whom was related to the Edwards family by marriage, was still an Austin after all.

Even if she becomes the anchor point for the Lord of the Earth, she won't bring much benefit to the Edwards family.

As for that female knight... even if she is willing to stay in the Edwards household after becoming the Dark Anchor, it is still uncertain whether the Marquis Edwards would dare to continue using her.

The Dark Moon is already omnipresent, yet it still puts the other party's eyes inside its own doorstep... Northern nobles would generally not be willing to do that.

But this time, it's the real Edwards.

David.

Hmm... or should I say, Darlene?

Toronto identified the person in the mineral realm based on his own senses, so he directly identified him as a male knight.

But when he got closer, he found that it was a female knight wearing a shirt, knight's trousers, and a short leather cloak.

Fortunately, he witnessed the birth of this Ms. Darlene.

These days, anyone who dares to smile and say things like, "Pretty sister, how about going to have a romantic date with my brother?", "Don't worry, my brother is too naive to take advantage of you," "However, it's not impossible for you to take advantage of my brother, after all, he's also profiting," or "Exactly, it seems like he has someone he likes, so even if you're interested, don't go too far"... is a true warrior. Every word they utter is a dance on the edge of a knife.

The reason he was allowed to be Darlene for a day was because he genuinely didn't have any bad thoughts in his mind; all he could think about was how to annoy his older brother, and he sincerely praised the beauty of the Goddess of the Night.

Even if it was just a disguise of the goddess of the night.

However, Toronto was very confused... What exactly are the criteria for the selection of people by the Goddess of the Night and the Lord of the Earth?
Darlene is still sporting the powerful look of the Goddess of the Night! And she's already going straight into Earth Selection?

Toronto stared at David in deep thought for a long time, but still couldn't understand the way those gods thought.

The most ridiculous thing is that, even now, the faith of the Northern Kingdom, the Lord of Storms, has not yet found the anchor point he wants.

Of course, it's possible that he had too many candidates to choose from, making it impossible to select a suitable candidate.
