Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 967 The Invitation from Green Maple Valley

"How should we change it?" Alexandra asked calmly. "Wouldn't it be easier to fight if we put them all in one place?"

“Ms. Ariges should know about Maple Ridge, right?” Catherine Teck said with a smile. “The Toronto sorcerer plans to build a Victoria Lotus Conference Hall, modeled after the extremely famous Thousand-Petal Lotus Lake Hall. Although it looks like they are all together, it is actually divided into several parts by the main lotus hall.”

Even for large meetings, key attendees can be separated by dividing them into sections.

This is actually safer.

So that they don't have to listen to other people's research findings.

Listening is one thing, but to directly nitpick is another. If you find fault, the person involved will jump down and beat you up; if you don't find fault, you'll go up and beat them up yourself... They're all bad people.

Although the Church of the Night also has its internal conflicts, they still can't figure out what tricks the blockheads of the Church of the Earth are playing. Therefore, when they mention them, their tone is always sarcastic.

Catherine Teck was no exception.

Alexis ignored the hidden meaning in Catherine's words; after all, the other woman had only touched her skin.

She asked with some surprise, "The Church of the Dark Night is actually willing to pay for a mage..."

“The goddess has her own reasons,” Catherine Teck interrupted her without blinking.

However, because the Tower Lord had a good understanding of the gods, Ariges immediately grasped the key point: the goddess was just using the intention; the money was probably provided by someone else.

It is estimated to be the Lord of the Earth.

Only that person would spend money and effort, and even risk their reputation because of the Dark Goddess's unreasonable demands.

Of course, this has nothing to do with her; it's enough that she knows what happened.

Alexandra said with a smile, "Then this archmage is truly quite powerful."

Catherine Teke nodded solemnly: "Yes! Although many mages have tried to imitate the Thousand-Petal Lotus of Qingfeng Territory, they have always only achieved a superficial resemblance."

That Lord Qingfeng, after all, was born into a noble family. He had studied painting and music since childhood, and the buildings he designed all had a unique aesthetic.

The other parts are mostly functional, but...it just doesn't feel right.

"This one, is it alright?" Alex asked, somewhat surprised.

Catherine Teke smiled as she looked at the Grand Knight, who was probably also from the Green Maple Territory, guessing that he probably didn't want to hear that someone could compare to her former young master: "It's not that it's the same style as the Thousand Petal Lotus Hall."

The Lord of Qingfeng has a preference for a free and unrestrained style.

This one's design is a bit more luxurious.

However, it is said that he came from a northern court, so it is normal for him to have a preference for luxury.

The aesthetic of the northern royal families is notoriously colorful.

Not really.

Alexis couldn't help but want to say something in her defense, but quickly realized... there wasn't much to say.

When the star fortress of Al-Saran comes into view, this impression will likely be even more profound.

In reality, only the generation of the northern royal family, particularly Al-Saran, had a preference for bright colors.

Luxury and vibrancy are not necessarily the same thing.

Then it suddenly dawned on Ariges... For the forces that had dealt with the Northern Kingdom in the last two hundred years, they had indeed encountered brothers of the same generation as Alsaran.

Although the replacements are due to age, the main officials who take over are still their peers.

Because of Travis's existence, the Northern royal family did not undergo rapid generational changes like other countries... Generally speaking, the royal family's external window is through His Majesty the King's uncles and aunts.

This is not a means of seizing power, but rather... diplomatic matters sometimes require a bit of impulse and misunderstanding where 'His Majesty is unaware'.

His Majesty's uncles and aunts can do this, but his nephews and sons cannot.

Even if Travis's peers or nephews are in charge of the specific affairs, the one in the main seat will always be from the older generation.

But it can only be an uncle, not a grand-uncle... It's probably to prevent someone from staying in a high position and not stepping down, or even from relying on their seniority to bully the new king.

Therefore, when a new king ascends to the throne, it is inevitably a period of power exchange.

While it was quite shocking that His Majesty Travis passed the throne to his grandson, and many people tried to do something about it, most of the nobles in the North could understand his choice.

Unless His Majesty Travis's sons are exceptionally talented, at least no less than Lori Montes, he will inevitably choose Leon.

If his own son takes the throne, then his peers who have been suppressed for over a hundred years will be able to rise again.
How outstanding must a son be to make him swallow this insult?

He probably wouldn't have thought about these things when he wanted to be the king of the North for all eternity, but now that he wants to abdicate, he will definitely think about it.

It's not that all of Travis's brothers were problematic, but the vast majority of his brothers from the main line had grudges against him.

While Travis wouldn't suppress those who were just being sarcastic and flattering to his brothers, he also wouldn't allow them to be reborn in his dynasty.

However, by this time, everyone who had any connection with him had already passed away... A hundred years sounds easy, as if one could live that long if they had enough strength, but there are many unexpected things in the world.

But that resentment lingered with His Majesty Travis; he was absolutely unwilling for his own brother to become the face of the royal family.

Archmage Alsara, despite having long been qualified to enter the starry sky, still held the position of Chief Mage of the court, which was also related to His Majesty Travis's petty schemes. Speaking of which… Ariges thought somewhat wistfully… the core spire of the secret tower, its colors are quite vibrant!

And those witches who live in the central area, they like them very much too...

She shook her head, erasing the doubts that had surfaced in her mind.

Probably just a coincidence.

It was probably two hundred years ago, when that style was popular.

"That's good. I'll go check it out when it's finished." Alexis tossed the basket in her hand, looking somewhat troubled. "Is this... a reduction in portion size again? Can't we even eat our fill of leaves anymore?"

Catherine Teck gave a troubled smile: "Ms. Alexis, your child has an excellent absorption capacity."

Even when eating grass, they can absorb all the nutrients and energy from it.

If the amount is not reduced, it is very likely to be too large.

You are a great knight!

No matter how well it's described or how thoroughly it's done, childbirth still causes harm to the mother's body.

The Great Knight's self-protection ability is too strong... If you lose your will because of pain, your body is very likely to choose to repair itself.

Stopping production would be too dangerous for the child and for you.

The best approach is to prevent the child from growing beyond your capacity, at least to avoid the need for bone separation.

Alexandra is from the North, which is actually a lot better than what she's been through.

A tall stature and a wide, shallow pelvis are very beneficial for childbirth.

But even so, women in the North still…

Catherine Tuck shook her head. This wasn't a woman's problem.

Rather, it is a special circumstance created by the knightly bloodline.

“Speaking of which, the Green Maple Territory is really interesting.” Catherine Teke suddenly changed the subject, looking at the dejected female knight.

"Hmm?" Alex looked at her curiously.

"A couple of days ago, perhaps after gaining a concrete understanding of the Dark Church on Laurel Street, Ms. Cheska from Green Maple Territory sent us an invitation."

We hope to invite priests and nuns with experience in childbirth and parenting to Maple Valley.

"Ah...ah?" Alexis was stunned for a few seconds before she realized, "Doesn't that mean the Church of the Night is allowed to build a church in Maple Valley?"

Qingfeng Territory...does it not accept any church to reside there?
The Church of Storms hasn't even...

"Yes, so he also invited the priest of the Church of Storms."

But it seems he has a clear goal, and like everyone else, he can only enter Maple Valley. "Catherine Tek replied with a sigh, "Although the conditions she offered weren't good; in fact, she made quite a few demands."

But... you should understand that neither storms nor darkness can refuse this invitation.

There are not only swirling wind whistles there, but also enchanting moonlight!

As a powerful figure who can hang the moon in front of the Storm Church, the Dark Night Church would never want Lori Montes to have nothing to do with them.

The followers of the night will always follow the bright moon... and the one from Qingfeng Territory clearly has something related to moonlight in his possession.

Although Chesca's invitation was not very respectful and had many requirements, she made it clear that as long as someone from the Laurel Church was willing to go, the remaining Silver Moon fragments in Lori Montes' possession would become a congratulatory gift for the church's establishment.

No believer in the darkness is immune to this temptation.

Alexandra blinked: "So, you are the future bishop of Maple Church?"

Catherine Teck sighed and nodded: "I am the only one who will be the new moon priest this year."

Although many people were tempted, they also knew that going to Qingfeng Territory would definitely not be as comfortable as going to other places.

Although that lord wasn't a harsh person, he could be incredibly cruel when he wanted to be.

Nobody wants to accidentally be reported to their goddess by him!
Even if they don't directly file a complaint, throwing a magical artifact from another god in front of the Church of the Dark is still a deadly threat.

Even if there had been prior communication, the Goddess of Night couldn't possibly be as indifferent as the Lord of Storms.

Even if nothing happens at the time, you'll still be in big trouble afterwards.

So, after two days of deliberation, the Laurel Church and the monastery simply chose Catherine Teck, who was perfectly timed.

As it happens, Catherine Tuck, who is about to graduate as a high priestess, is currently in charge of communicating with the residents of Laurel Street... She needs to get to know them before she can take over some of the patients.

Alexis, who has never been to the secret place of the tower, is essentially more inclined to stay in her original place of origin.

Catherine Teck hoped to get some information from her.
