Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 969 You also know that's called selecting people

"What are you talking about?" Alexandra asked in surprise. "After you go there, you'll definitely be working under the successor manager!"
Valera and Charles both intend to follow Lord Lori and leave the earth.

After Qingfeng Territory, it should return to the normal noble territory model.

The lord's agent is the kind who directly manages everything.

"The successor is..." Catherine asked incredulously, "...one of Montes's or Gezar's people?"

Although she had heard some rumors, it seemed unlikely.

“Of course it’s Miss Lily! She’s the only one that Young Master Lori has clearly written on the list of successors,” Alexandra said decisively.

'You knew that person was a candidate?'

Catherine almost blurted it out, but thankfully she held back.

Then she realized that although Lily's status as heir was a joke... even if Lori Montes intended to abdicate, the Noble Affairs Office would not agree to let a white dragon become a powerful lord.

Luscania was also Travis's close companion, yet she didn't hold any Northland title.

This is not only the bottom line for the North, but also the bottom line for humanity.

The fruits of humanity's rebellion against the will of the gods, achieved through countless sacrifices, should never be shared by the white dragon, who has brought countless disasters to humankind.

Regardless of whether this white dragon is closer to humans or not.

The gods could not accept this outcome.

But why didn't anyone care about the White Dragon's name on that list...? Because Lori Montes probably wouldn't die at all.

He estimated that the White Dragon King would live for about the same amount of time.

Even though he looks like a human, he is a dragon at heart.

But he was, after all, a human who had awakened, and no one could interfere with such an existence... The ancient bloodlines of the knights all had some problems to some extent, and no one dared to say that their own family wouldn't suddenly have a child who had reverted to their ancestral ways.

So, Lily's name was just written there to amuse the child.

If it were someone else, people might also consider unexpected issues.

But Lori Montes... that's really hard to kill.

The people of the Church of the Dark Night know very well the temperament of their goddess.

That's the kind of stubborn person who will just keep going even if they're wrong.

But in the end, without warning, she reconciled with the lord of Qingfeng Territory, all in front of everyone.

Not only did they reconcile, but their relationship is actually quite good.

Even the Dark Night Church had some doubts; the Lord of Green Maple Territory was probably the kind of being that couldn't be killed no matter how hard they tried.

Although their world didn't have one before, the high-ranking humans who had some contact with the outside world before the world was downgraded knew that mages had the ability to create a soul shell for themselves, so that if something happened to them, they could be transformed into an evil spirit and resurrected.

Moreover, archmages resurrected in that way become extremely cold-hearted, or even evil.

Many worlds would try not to go too far when faced with such a great mage.

Or perhaps, that archmage with dragon blood might be reborn as a dragon after death... If that happens, wouldn't those who harmed him suffer even more?

Of course, most importantly, nobody really thinks anyone can take him down.

This is someone who, at the age of four or five, could deal with smugglers and venture into the wild with all sorts of terrifying creatures unscathed.

This could never be a matter of ability; it can only be luck.

Even the Goddess of the Night would take a step back when faced with people who are incredibly lucky... not because she fears fate, but because she worries that these exceptionally lucky humans might affect the revival of the world's will.

The Goddess of the Night didn't want her involvement to cause any unexpected problems.

After all, the results of her reckless actions were never good... Even the followers of the Night couldn't deny that.

The Goddess of the Night herself has actually admitted to this.

The appearance of the Lord of Ice, in particular, was a bolt from the blue for her.

Although many people suspect that the union of the Rain Goddess and the White Dragon King was a conspiracy by her... of course, it is indeed related to her.

But her goal was definitely not to create a Lord of Ice.

Even the offspring born from the union of two deities may not be able to control the laws!
The White Dragon King was an outsider at that time, and his so-called divine office was not recognized by the world.

Normally, the daughter of the Rain Goddess should only be a demigod descendant, or even, according to their ideas, a female demigod.

If such a child's spiritual potential is erased during the fetal stage, then her divine aura will not appear... In that case, the child will be born as a blank slate.

The reason for choosing the White Dragon King as the child's father was to use his bloodline, which did not belong to this world, to circumvent the rules and bottom lines set by the world's will.

Although this is very unfair to the White Dragon King, how could the Goddess of Night care about this past enemy? Of course, her reason for doing this was definitely not to help the Goddess of Rain, otherwise she would not have paid such a high price.

The Goddess of Rain was nothing more than one of her experiments.

Even the followers of the Night can only know this much; what the Goddess of the Night did for what, and for whom, remains a secret.

But if she would still dare to act recklessly for this purpose, then when it comes to the revival of the world's will, she would definitely stay quiet and do nothing.

Therefore, the Dark Night Church quickly put away its past attitude and showed a friendly smile to the Green Maple Territory.

Moreover, a mage baron's position is not that of a busy king, so there is naturally no need for him to abdicate.

Since the position of lord of Qingfeng Territory will exist forever, the successor has become a mere figurehead.

However, if the four Toller siblings intend to leave with their lord and that Aagris, then... Lily, as the heir, is indeed qualified to manage the territory.

Bai Long has always been domineering; trying to make a living under her thumb is probably a bit...

Catherine suddenly took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly as she asked, "Then, taxes...business...our treatment costs..."

Her words were fragmented, but Alexandra still understood: "What are you thinking? How could Miss Lily possibly change Young Master Lori's decrees so casually!"

"Really not?" Catherine asked incredulously. "I come from the Crescent Moon Kingdom, where there are also several white dragons that nest in the wild."

Those white dragons couldn't even bear to spend a single copper coin.

I remember there was a white dragon who owed our New Moon High Priest money, and he was willing to come and be her mount for three years!
He has a gold mine in his own mountain!

Otherwise, how could the high priest have shipped the goods before he paid?
As a result, he got very angry, fought a fierce battle, and in the end, all he got in return was a dragon mount.

Although it was quite impressive to go back to the main temple for a meeting... she paid for that money out of her own pocket!

The Church of the Dark Night never made any more advance payments to the White Dragon after that.

Alexandra's lips twitched down slightly, as if she wanted to laugh but held it back: "Miss Lily is being well taken care of by Young Master Lori."

She knows what money belongs to her.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, your meager income is nowhere near the profit margin of Qingfeng Valley's specialty products..."

Catherine stood up in surprise: "What do you mean?"
You mean, Lori Montes plans to give all the profits from his clothing factories, alchemy workshops, and farms to… that Lily?

“No, that’s not it.” Alexis shook her head with a smile, and then delivered the most powerful blow when Catherine relaxed. “Because of the shares held by Gale Wolf, Young Master Lowry would not let Miss Lily handle the farm.”

Although Miss Lily understood the most appropriate distance between herself and humans, she couldn't bring herself to show too much respect to magical creatures, even Lord Lori's blood sworn companions.

For Miss Lily, only a small number of the Gale Wolves who grew up with her deserve her respect... but when it comes to wolves she doesn't know, her attitude goes back to the same old thing.

Young Master Lori felt it was best to avoid letting her take control of matters related to magical creatures until she had figured things out.

What truly belonged to Miss Lily were the income from the restaurants and snack stalls, as well as the adventurers' camp.

Young Master Lowry intends to keep the farm and the Swift Wolf caravan under his own control, entrusting them to others for management.

Catherine froze for a moment before saying, "I didn't expect you to know so much."

“It’s no secret,” Alexandra said frankly. “My companions from the past told me this when I went to Maple Valley to buy nutritional potions.”

The Church of the Dark Night doesn't know; it's probably just that... the message hasn't arrived yet.
If it's information that can't be shared, they won't tell me.

But there's no need to spread it around so easily, is there?

"You'll eventually receive the news when more people know about it."

Catherine had nothing to say.

Lori Montes' method of obtaining intelligence was not to place informants, but to go directly to the source of the intelligence and ask them questions.

For example, if he suspects that the Church of the Night is up to something, he will go directly to the Goddess of the Night to ask her.

The key point is that if it weren't for the goddess's order, the goddess of the night would have actually told him.

Now, even those money-grubbing types from the Church of Wealth are very well-behaved in Green Maple Territory.

After all, no one can be sure of the internal information of Qingfeng Territory... Without someone in charge of intelligence, it is difficult to find a way to plant spies inside.

Qingfengling Human Resources tends to favor skilled workers.

As long as you have patience and your hands aren't too clumsy, you can basically find work in workshops of all sizes.

But working there provides an extremely stable life... and makes one stand out even when appearing in places they shouldn't.

The result of the attempts by several major churches was that they provided Lori Montes with very suitable workers.

After all, those who can work as intelligence agents must have extremely stable mindsets, and being skillful is a standard requirement; assembly line work is really too easy for them.
