Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 925 The First Loser

After all, the people of the North, even if they are always attracted by other inexplicable beings, will eventually return to the embrace of the Lord of Storms.

They were witnesses to their birth, growth, and death.

He is a savior who, though not concerned with everything, turns the tide in every terrible disaster.

Even when the White Dragon invaded, and was also entangled by the Primordial White Dragon, the Lord of Storms still sent several avatars to help his followers.

The Northern Kingdom naturally received one as well.

Although this avatar couldn't arrive at the first sign of disaster, and couldn't defeat every white dragon ravaging the North... he never stopped fighting.

After a significant loss of divine power, it will be replenished very quickly.

This means that the Lord of Storms, who is confronting more than one Primordial White Dragon in the starry sky, is very likely to be successfully ambushed.

The gods, especially the goddess of night, did not completely abandon their followers.

But they will only protect the country where their main temple is located... Of course, in exchange, this country must accept refugees from other countries.

As for the royal nobles who did not want their homeland to be lost and were brave enough to fight the white dragon, they could only get the support of the church, and the gods could not care about so much.

Fortunately, these individuals' churches did not remain silent; they even fought on the front lines and sacrificed countless high-ranking believers to save civilians.

Even so, the Church of Storms suffered the greatest loss.

Moreover, unlike other countries that only know of the existence of gods but rarely see their protection, miracles have always existed in the North.

This reverence, flowing in their blood from generation to generation, prevents most people in the North from fully embracing other deities.

Of course, it's okay to waver when necessary.

The Lord of Storms himself doesn't care about trivial matters like his followers asking the Lord of Earth to save their lives when they roll down the mountain.

It was precisely because of his indulgence that the Lord of the Earth and the Goddess of the Night were able to gain some people who, although they were true believers in the Storm, would identify with their essence because of their past experiences.

However, when it comes to the Lord of Storms choosing his own anchor point, things will probably be very difficult.

There must be many people in the Northern Kingdom who agree with the Storm's ideology.

Just like His Majesty Travis, who intended to follow his own path but could directly summon the Lord of Storms... This is actually not quite normal.

Even the Lord of Storms himself found it unbelievable.

After all, Travis was already standing at the beginning of another path, only needing to start walking.

But he still wouldn't let go of the parallel road next to him, always trying to stretch it into an endless twisted track that would occasionally intersect.

Although he was always very dissatisfied with Travis's constant claims that he was still a follower of the storm, he couldn't deny it in front of the source of the law... Travis bore his mark, and he didn't want to erase it.

Every step that guy took was like walking on the wind.

Even if the Lord of Storms doesn't want to be the one to lift him up, it's no use.

In such a northern land, even if the Lord of Storms has very high requirements, he cannot be like other gods who only have one or two qualified candidates.

Others only need to pass to make it to the finals.

But those chosen by the Lord of Storms probably have to pass the test 99 out of 100.

In fact, those who enter the Storm Maze are well aware that they have chosen the most difficult path... If they enter other mazes, there will inevitably be far fewer competitors.

Furthermore, those who enter other labyrinths do not necessarily desire the favor of the other gods.

After all, Miss Darlene's announcement was about a treasure hunt.

These people chose other gods' labyrinths in order to obtain better treasures, and there was nothing wrong with that.

But this also proves that they are not the purest believers in storms.

However, those who choose to seek other paths simply because something is "a little difficult" are not the type of people the storm will choose.

He admires warriors who face difficulties head-on.

Of course, he wouldn't be able to pull it off as stubbornly as the Lord of Valor.

Tsk tsk, this is going to be quite a hassle.

Although the Stormy Secret Realm was in chaos, everyone was still searching for the treasures hidden in the maze, and no one had yet gained the approval of the Secret Realm Gate.

However, Toronto now understands a little better why Travis was willing to accept the existence of the underground labyrinth of the gods.

It may seem unreliable, but in reality, it does reveal the inner inclinations of most of the nobles in the North.

Although the Goddess of the Night only had her eye on one person, there were actually quite a few people in her secret realm.

Furthermore, there is a strong masculine presence on those islands.

Toronto doesn't quite understand this.

This is a world where everything is decided by might. Whoever is strongest gets to do what they say, so life isn't easy for the men in the Dark Zone.

It's not that men are sexually happy wherever there are many women... It's terrible to have no choice; who knows if the person who's interested in you is a human or a ghost.

It's perfectly normal for women in the North, especially noble ladies, to be attracted to the blissful life offered by the Dark Church.

A man? What is he trying to do?!
Have you been living a comfortable life for too long and want to take on more responsibilities?

Despite Toronto's sympathy and compassion for the lives of women in the North and its willingness to offer assistance to some extent, he would certainly not choose to live in a different environment.

He himself admits that he is a beneficiary of the existing system and has no interest in dragging himself down with him.

Unless... never mind, there is no unless.

The multiverse does not contain that soil.

Even if there truly were a fair world, what would guarantee fairness would still be the will of individual power.

It's already a very good world that, as it is now, ordinary people can survive even if they stumble and struggle, unless they are extremely unlucky.

Even though he grumbled and complained, unwillingly, he still helped the Lord of Storms and the others. He just didn't want to see his world become a hellish place like Toril one day!

Ok?
Toronto residents discovered that the rose-red diamond on his bracelet had suddenly lit up and even turned a vibrant red.

He placed the thin crystal plate on it with surprise.

A string of words quickly scrolled out: "Match made, it's been assigned to you. This thing isn't very accurate!"

Toronto closed his eyes in frustration... He seemed to know the conditions under which the Sun God chose the anchor point.

Then it suddenly dawned on him: "You can choose from all the mazes?"

"What else can we do? Nobody has jumped into the sun yet!" the sun god complained. "I really don't understand, the sun looks huge in this painting!"

I can understand why everyone chooses the unseen wind, but why would they even choose the grass that's barely visible...?

Toronto's lips twitched... What did you say was big again?

He still remembered that it was a mountain forest in the moonlight, or something like that, right?
As for the sun... if you pay attention, you can see the sun's pattern on the edge of the tapestry.

Moreover, among these patterns, only one is the entrance to the Sun Labyrinth.

Toronto initially thought that Apollo didn't want to get involved.

But... does he genuinely think his reminder is particularly noticeable?
The sun god opposite him seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and a line of words quickly appeared on the crystal plate: "If it were you, you would not be in such a hurry. You would definitely find all the entrances first, and then make a choice according to your own thoughts, right?"
What I want is someone who knows everything, is fully prepared, yet is still willing to walk the path of light.

That's my anchor point.

Toronto blinked in confusion and asked hesitantly, "Do you think you can find someone like that in every country?"

"If only you were willing, wouldn't that be wonderful?" The sun god didn't answer, but changed the subject instead.

“You’d better not look for a sorcerer.” Toronto was too lazy to pay attention to such an impolite request. “Even if he’s willing to stay where he is now, one day his thirst for knowledge will make him choose to fly far away.”

Stop thinking about useless things.

"What a pity... I'll record your aura first, so I don't sense you again next time." The Sun God disappeared dejectedly.

Toronto looked up and saw that Darlene was no longer squatting there digging in the dirt, but was instead taking a small notebook and starting to write something in circles.

“He wasn’t persistent enough.” Toronto’s gemstone bracelet suddenly spun around on its own, and the thin crystal plate landed lightly on the brown gemstone. “To him, minerals are a gift from the earth, which he cherishes and treasures, but he is not willing to give up everything for the earth.”

"That girl wouldn't agree either, would she? Aren't they both working so hard for their families?" Toronto thought he had guessed the Earth Lord's selection criteria!
After all, these two 'girls' are working hard for themselves and their families.

It's not what you think.

They harbor a deep longing for the earth. The Lord of the Earth's reply seemed somewhat helpless. "I do like children from happy families, but that's because they have love, warmth, and stable emotions."

But what truly earned my approval of these two children was their genuine gratitude to the earth after they had benefited from it.

For example, that girl just now, she was also digging for herbs, but she would naturally scatter half of the seeds she got back to the earth, instead of doing what you did and taking everything in one go.

Moreover, she would fill the holes she dug with mud.

Wherever she went, everything was spotless.

The places you passed through were just as clean, since you even took the mud with you.

Toronto, with a calm expression, asked, "What about Darlene? Didn't he also have to poach them all?"

"Heh~ You'll know once you go and see the hole he dug." The Lord of the Earth ignored him and simply disappeared.

Anyway, since the last step of 'Dalin' failed, we can only go to the outer maze to search for treasure.

This child is good in every way, except that he lacks patience. Also, he probably lives a relatively happy life. Although he is not afraid of hardship, he is unwilling to work hard for 'trivial' things.
