Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 926 The Call of the Water Maze
Just like these lands that hold the secrets of gem veins, David simply chose to mine the best magical mines and a few common types of mines found in the Northern Kingdom.

Completely different from Gloria, who had just become obsessed with digging for safflower.

David felt he had dug enough, even though he hadn't reached the point of awakening yet... but actually, it wasn't enough.

Even if he doesn't dig away all the mineral veins, he should at least dig them out more thoroughly.

David has leaked the four elemental gems: earth, fire, water, and wind.

Perhaps he felt that this thing didn't exist in the North and therefore he didn't need it, but this also proved that this child had no affinity with the land.

Gloria dug up all the safflowers in the entire lineage.

It's important to know that among the seven colors, there are many similar colors.

Without sufficient sensitivity, some colors might be mistaken for the same thing.

Whether Gloria herself understood it or not, her intuition led her to do it.

This is what it means to have a connection with the earth.

Although I quite like David, the Lord of the Earth won't force a connection.

He was genuinely disappointed.

I wouldn't go see it in Toronto!
Why would he look at other people's good qualities, especially those that make him look inferior?

He is satisfied with himself and has no interest in comparing himself to others in terms of their strengths.

Anyway, this guy didn't succeed.

"Huh?" Toronto was just about to turn around and leave when he noticed that another Edwards had also entered the mine.

"You've got your hands on the Edwards family?" he blurted out.

"This is also Edwards?" Even the Lord of the Earth was surprised.

“That was David, the second son, and this is Patrick, the eldest.” Toronto asked, puzzled, “What’s wrong with the Edwards family? Why are they all heading straight for the earth?”

"Didn't anyone go to the Storm Lord's side?"

"Hmm... let me see..." The Lord of the Earth also became interested. "Hiss... I think these two kids probably didn't want to go into the same place as their mother and uncle, so they came to my side?"

“Edwards, the previous generation got in too!” Toronto exclaimed in surprise. “Aren’t you worried your whole family will get dragged into this mess?”

“The oldest one didn’t come, and their father didn’t come in either.” The Lord of the Earth quickly gave a denial. “No, their father is in front of the tapestry, carefully observing it, seemingly trying to determine the meaning of each pattern.”

It's estimated that the entry of others provided him with enough samples, so he... entered Fengtu.

Tsk~"

Toronto seemed quite satisfied: "That's alright."

As for the fact that young people have all moved to different places, everyone can understand that.

Which young person would want to go somewhere with their parents when they're going on an adventure?

Putting aside everything else, imagine how much hard labor they'd have to do!

"There should be quite a few young people going into the Earth Maze," Toronto said with a laugh. "Why did you send Darlene away?"

"They seem to have a good relationship as brothers," the Lord of the Earth replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.

"Afraid they'll share their thoughts?" Toronto chuckled.

“These two kids are a bit cunning,” the Lord of the Earth said slowly. “Although I think it’s fine for them to be a little cunning, it would be too tragic to lose an opportunity just to take shortcuts.”

"You're such a nice person~" Toronto said sarcastically.

"So Luscania learned it from you!" the Earth Lord said out of the blue. "Honestly, that weird accent is so annoying."

Then he stopped talking.

Toronto pressed on with some skepticism, "Is it because Gloria's next test results aren't very good?"

“You’re overthinking it. Don’t try to guess my thoughts based on the storm’s behavior,” the Lord of the Earth quickly replied. “I don’t like to test people’s hearts in this way.”

Unlike him.

Toronto is a bit confused... Isn't this supposed to be about choosing the best candidate?

Shouldn't we have chosen the person with the strongest will?
If you give up on self-reflection just because of a few words from your brother, then that's hardly appropriate, is it?

Then you feel that it's not good to speculate about human nature like this, so you simply don't do it... There's definitely a reason why the Church of the Earth is 'full of talent'.

Toronto pinched his fingertips, warning himself not to try to understand the thoughts of these gods.

He's already gotten too close; he can't go any further.

Then he laughed.

Patrick was not as good as David. From the very beginning, he took out his notebook, dug his hand into the mineral soil and worked hard to turn it over. After determining the proportion, he quickly wrote it down.

He certainly didn't overlook any information about any mineral vein, but he also didn't dig up a single basket of soil.

"He's a little better than his brother." The Lord of the Earth hesitated for a moment before logging back in. "At least he understands what's more important, and that's true..."

"Forget it, I don't need to save face. This guy should go to Scroll Mountain!"

“Travis also said he’s a good candidate for treasurer, and Leon’s success was somewhat accidental,” Toronto replied with a smile. “You don’t seem to be planning to send him away.” “I want to see if he can figure everything out using this method,” the Lord of the Earth responded. “If he can, that’s a talent too.”

A natural affinity with the earth.

Toronto agrees with this statement.

After all, if Patrick could clearly understand all this information simply by observing and exploring, his perception of earth-type attributes must be very high.

No matter how good he is at math, there are some things that can't be calculated.

He glanced at Patrick again: "Well, things here probably won't be over anytime soon; he still has at least two-thirds left."

I'll go check out other places first.

"Where is the light again?" the Lord of the Earth asked, somewhat dazed. "Why didn't I feel anything?"

"You guys, the water maze you built together, is now lit up." Toronto paused for two seconds before saying expressionlessly.

“Oh… there! That’s not my jurisdiction today,” the Lord of the Earth replied quickly. “Dark Night is sunbathing people, so she took over the responsibilities.”

"Heh~" Toronto chuckled irritably and pressed the blue gem to enter the new maze.

That was a boundless ocean.

But there was only water.

The two ocean currents converged in the middle, creating varying shades of blue.

Toronto looked around, his eyes somewhat confused... This doesn't seem to be a secret realm, does it?
Isn't this the outer maze?

How did he get teleported here?

Toronto felt a chill run down his spine... Could it be that the maze array really is malfunctioning?
He knew that three monks had no water to drink!

Three cobblers, together they can make a pigskin beam.

It broke before it even started!

Frustrated, he landed on the water's surface, his feet shimmering with a faint white light, and walked step by step into the water.

The responses from the detection spells were all 'normal'.

It went from 'normal' to 'abnormal'.

The goddess of the night, who should be monitoring this place, hasn't said a word.

Toronto's furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and he began to hum a soft tune, as if he had always intended to enter this strange water maze to find treasure.

Soon, he discovered a whirlpool located where the ocean currents converged.

Toronto glanced down and, confirming that there were some treasures rolling in the depths of the whirlpool, then sank down.

Of course, I first added an underwater breathing technique that could last for 72 hours.

There are at least a dozen treasures at the bottom of the vortex.

Toronto didn't bother looking at the piles of gems; his attention was entirely focused on a few strange objects: a platinum statue of a woman in a robe with an open book hanging from her hip; a half-section mask made of dragon skin adorned with black and white pearls; a water-walking ring; an exquisite lantern made of amethyst and gold... the candle inside was still lit; a heavy white gold ring adorned with small pieces of jade; a deep red spherical Ainstone; a strange spellbook that sometimes turned into a book and sometimes into water; and a gold bowl inlaid with numerous rubies.

Each treasure was surrounded by ripples of water, which appeared and disappeared intermittently.

Clearly, he can only take one or two treasures... it depends on how quickly he breaks the 'Water Wave Entanglement' spell.

This requires him to have a relatively high level of water-based spellcasting ability, or at least to understand some water-based laws.

The people of the Northern Kingdom tend to specialize in only one area, generally only knowing ice magic.

That is indeed quite difficult.

Of course, if one has a deep understanding of ice magic, one will naturally come into contact with some water-related laws.

A layer of pale blue frost appeared on Toronto's hands... He reached out and took the magic book without hesitation.

The water wave spell wrapped in the spellbook was very powerful. Lori's Freeze spell was at least at the level of a 6th-level spell, but it still didn't work immediately... It only froze the surface of the water wave, and it turned back into water in a few seconds.

Toronto's eyes lit up, and when he reached out again, it was as if he were wearing a blue glass glove.

A spell approaching the eighth ring level is already top-tier combat power at this stage. The water ripples on the spellbook quickly froze and then broke into several pieces.

Toronto grabbed the book with a smile and happily flipped through it... completely ignoring the other treasures, letting them slowly disappear with the vortex.

Toronto was quite satisfied with the spellbook he had seen, which was at least up to level 24. He slowly rose to the surface of the water, threw out a small boat, and nimbly jumped aboard, comfortably basking in the sun while reading the book.

As expected of a treasure retrieved from the stars by the gods, even Toronto couldn't resist a little greed!
Unfortunately, magic books that can pass the Sun God's test are really rare.

Moreover, Toronto himself does not study water magic, so to avoid suspicion, he did not watch the construction process of this water maze.

Toronto looked up... and no one came to stop him, which meant...

Hehe ~
Unfortunately, his research into magic did not last long.

Another whirlpool appeared ahead.

Toronto was a little confused... He had just lost control of the boat's direction, and according to the rules of the water maze, it should have sent him to the shallow water!

Why are we still near the ocean current?
If a maze were so easy to solve, what would it be like?
Toronto frowned as he watched his boat and its inhabitants fall into the whirlpool.

He stared with his mouth slightly agape at the treasure beneath the vortex... What's going on? How did it level up?
