Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 954 You Do Have the Qualification
"You...did this on purpose?" Toronto, watching his series of subtle actions, suddenly realized what was happening. "Isn't your malice a little too obvious?"

Katarina said discontentedly, "What do you mean by malice? That's curiosity!"
That young lady's aura was very strange. Although she was clearly of the pure lunar element, she had an unusual solar aura. I couldn't figure out why, so of course I wanted to find out what was going on!
So, can I take her with me?
I can ignore his little, well, minor flaw for now.

Toronto closed his eyes briefly before replying calmly, "Then you don't need to be curious anymore. He is Knight David, who was turned into a woman because he offended the Goddess of the Night."

You might think he's a lunar type because of this.

"Oh~ he's male by nature~ never mind then." Katarina said regretfully, glancing inside again before looking at him, "Where's the person I asked you to deliver?"

"Is she a real girl? I didn't bring the magic ship this time."

Katarina would never accept a man riding on her.

Girls are fine.

Toronto beckoned Celie over: "Celie, come and meet Ms. Katarina. She is the reserve Wolf King, an absolute powerhouse."

“I always felt you were being sarcastic, Toronto.” Katarina glanced at him before looking at Celie. “Oh, no wonder you were looking for those kids, so you’re a Gezar!”

"Your bloodline is quite pure. Was your mother truly sincere in marrying him?"

Celie paused for a moment before answering, "She was willing, but she didn't love that man."

"Oh~" Katarina didn't pay much attention, only making a light comment, "Gezar is indeed getting worse with each generation, he doesn't even follow his own heart anymore!"

"Perhaps it's because Count Gezar followed his heart too much back then?" Pat suddenly leaned closer with a smile.

“You are, Pat?” Katarina tilted her head and looked at her.

“You know me?” Pat was somewhat surprised.

“I’m older than you and Agris combined!” Katarina said, annoyed. “Don’t talk to me like that, I’m not Lori!”

“Oh, I’m sorry,” Pat apologized politely, “but I…”

“There’s a portrait of you in Mrs. Yages’ estate,” Katarina interrupted her. “However, she put you and Marianne in the same corridor.”

"You're still alive, yet you're relegated to the memorial gallery. Naturally, I was curious, so I asked Chesca."

Pat's face froze for a second before he shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Yagris, still as humorous as ever."

But that's true, I can only exist in her memory.

Katarina had lost interest in continuing to mutter about Gezar. She gestured with her chin toward Celie and said, "Come on up, little girl, I'll take you to Green Maple Territory."

"Take her directly to the castle and hand her over to Chesca," Toronto instructed. "She has some documents that need to be handed over to Chesca. Don't take her anywhere else."

"How can you distrust me like this?" Katarina asked, clearly displeased.

“I guess I finally figured out why those wolf friends who were still responding to my calls yesterday suddenly had to go out,” Toronto replied calmly. “Whatever your plans, you must complete the task I gave you first.”

Otherwise, I'll go directly to Lori Montes and complain.

Let's see if he can really control you.

Katarina shrank her neck slightly, then immediately straightened her back: "I have always been dutiful!"

"Come up here, little girl!"

Although Celie was a little nervous, she carefully stepped onto that broad back.

"Let's go!" Katarina suddenly jumped up and soared into the sky.

Celie was somewhat surprised to find herself already in the cloud.

After all, the wolf looked extremely burly and didn't fit her body like a fine horse, nor did it have a saddle.

But she did not feel any discomfort.

Celie then realized that the Gale Wolf naturally had an invisible saddle on its back.

That is the condensation of innate magic.

Rather than saying she was sitting on the back of a wolf, it would be more accurate to say she was sitting on a gust of wind.

And this gust of wind tightly connected her and the Gale Wolf, with almost no part of them not fitting together... The moment she sat down, the gust of wind took on her likeness.

No wonder Katarina doesn't like men riding on her back.

She should be able to sense this change as well.

Celie felt she now understood why only knights who had formed a blood pact with the Gale Wolf could dance with the wind.

After the contract was signed, they probably became assimilated with this gust of wind, right?

By the time she fully integrates into this wind, it will probably be... Lady Yages is said to be level 16 already, I wonder if she can achieve that.

If not, it means the Gale Wolf bloodline level is too high; you must be level 20 or higher to use it.

There was a reason why Count Gezar wanted to take a different path back then.

In the past, knights with higher bloodline levels among their companions would actually lose their strongest combat power.

After all, the world is extremely fair, especially for these powerful creatures.

Those magical creatures that are not inherently level 20 will give knights a significant boost in agility, strength, and constitution in the early game.

For types like Gale Wolves, the early-game bonuses will inevitably be less, and the knight will need to have enough intelligence and sharpness to cooperate with them during battle.

Lady Yagelis, despite her formidable strength, ultimately lost to her rival and had to return home to inherit the title; this likely stemmed from this very reason. At that level where the difference was so minor, her weaker attributes inevitably led to her defeat.

"You saw it?" Katarina turned to look at her.

“Hmm? Hmm!” Celie nodded cautiously.

“Oh~ No wonder Toronto thinks you’re qualified.” Katarina grinned. “Your mental strength and soul power are indeed at the level where you can form a contract with a Gale Wolf. It just depends on whether you can find a wolf that matches your taste.”

However, it's a bit difficult.

Because of the previous events, the Gale Wolves lost a large number of vassal families, and in order to regain their former glory, they have been encouraging childbirth.

Many female giant wolves have therefore chosen to return to their families.

Celie was somewhat surprised: "The Gale Wolf can also... like this..."

"Young lady, sacrificing some personal space temporarily in order to live a better life is something worth considering for any race."

"Especially those who lack the strength but still want to live a relatively comfortable life," Katarina said meaningfully. "If you can just stay in your nest for three years but get access to advanced resources for the next fifty years, how many people can resist that kind of attraction?"
Giving birth doesn't really harm our bodies; the only trouble is the energy replenishment needed during the gestation process.

If this can be guaranteed, then so be it.

The future is still so long~

Celie looked down at the white clouds leaping past her, and said somewhat bewilderedly, "But... what about my heart?"

"Hmm?" Katarina suddenly laughed. "You really are a Ghazar!"

This is the first thing that comes to mind.

"That's what happened to Iagore back then, which is why Veronique was attracted to her."

Celie paused for a moment: "Huh? I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Well, how should I put it~ the Gale Wolf was like this before."

Wolves that only want a comfortable life must make certain contributions to the pack.

The simplest and easiest thing is to reproduce.

After all, the continuation of a race cannot rely solely on the longevity of the strong.

In the past, although the clan offered many benefits, if you grew up together and didn't hit it off, you generally wouldn't choose this path.

Those few benefits can't compare to a free and unrestrained life.

Everyone prefers to bury themselves in hard work and strive for improvement.

But now, the benefits offered by the clan to encourage childbirth are five times greater than before!
Even if you're just lying at home, this subsidy makes it easy to reach level 20... That's the biggest advantage of magical creatures; whatever you eat becomes your strength.

After all, for most magical creatures, seizing certain resources is the greatest test of their own abilities.

But there are always wolves who prefer a life of solitude, and they have to rely on their own abilities to become stronger.

Compared to humans, the rules of wolf packs are simpler, more direct, and more obvious, without so much concealment, but aren't they all the same?

However, those willing to form blood alliances with humans are basically freedom-loving individuals.

“I don’t quite understand,” Celie asked softly. “Why is forming an alliance with humans considered freedom?”

“Humans who are chosen by the Gale Wolves are bound to be skilled in combat and have a temperament as free as the wind,” Katarina replied with a smile. “Even if they are influenced by their environment and enter into family life, they are still free-spirited and decisive, and will not be entangled in trivial matters.”

Such a person would never make their partner do something they don't want to do.

However, if one remains in the wolf pack and lacks sufficient strength, one will inevitably have to retreat.

We, the wolf pack, have a whole bunch of broken rules.

These are all lingering effects of nearly being wiped out back then; they are terrified that their race might one day become extinct.

Back then, it was these ridiculous rules that forced me to keep climbing the ranks, even to the point of vying for the title of Wolf King.

"Look, I'm already this strong. I need an excuse to leave Wolf Mountain!"

Celie tilted her head and thought for a moment before asking, "Is it that we can't leave Wolf Mountain, or that we can't come to the capital? That seems like a big difference."

"Tsk~ Toronto definitely has its reasons for liking you!" Katarina suddenly accelerated. "We're almost there!"

Celie's eyes widened slightly... The clouds that had been leaping behind her suddenly turned into blurry shadows.

If Katarina's speed was like a whirlwind just now, it seems she has now caught up with the light.

Celie suddenly realized that she had been feeling melancholy for too long.

If the Gale Wolves all had this ability, they wouldn't need to rely on Mage Lowry for a living.

This is indeed a being of wolf king caliber.

Then she might still have a chance.

Even though Katarina said there weren't many female giant wolves these days, Celie wasn't too worried.

Not many, but not none, right?
