Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 995 Do Not Interfere with the Path of Other Gods
This world actually has places similar to Greece.

Of course, it's Mount Olympia.

Bloodline brings an advantage that makes one superior, and naturally, one will also receive some rewards.

In fact, this reward is also an advantage in some ways, especially for those at the top... The relationships between family members have become much closer because of their shared bloodline.

But this depends entirely on whether the clan leader and elders have any humane bloodline constraints, which is the most terrifying aspect for the younger generation and lower-level members.

Parent-child relationships are more complex than in a world like Torell's.

Did no one in the direct line of the Gezar family, except for the daughter who was sacrificed, really understand that the count's actions were suicidal?
I definitely know.

But those with weak willpower can only sink into despair while remaining conscious.

Moreover, the benefits that Count Gezar brought back were too great; their humanity and struggles simply couldn't withstand such enormous profits.

In the end, it's normal for them all to abandon humanity and choose to be consumed by malice.

Even so, during those years, there were still many direct descendants of the Gezhar family who died young.

Whether they died or escaped, at least not everyone... but resistance was completely impossible.

This is not something that those of lower bloodlines can do.

Just as Athena, no matter how powerful, could not contend with Zeus... powerful artifacts are only one aspect.

On the other hand, there is the suppression of the bloodline of Mount Olympia.

Toronto alone knows dozens of ways to locate or even curse others through this bloodline connection.

Let's take Lori Montes as an example.

His neighbor was actually more indifferent than outsiders perceived.

Not only would Kloris lend a hand to Montes, but he would also take care of Gezar... even though these people were no different from strangers to him.

Based on Toronto's limited understanding of Lowry, he's not really the kind of person who's so quick to judge right and wrong.

That guy is more likely to throw knives at everyone out of spite.

But in the end, he still offered the greatest kindness.

However, Hades mentioned to him during his stay at Hamilton Castle that it was precisely because of these acts of kindness that Lori Montes' connection with the two families was almost nonexistent.

You should know that, according to the unspoken rules of this world, Lori, who awakened such a powerful bloodline as a humanoid dragon because of the existence of these two families, should have been the pillar of these two families.

Even though both families fell due to their patriarchs' folly, they should have been able to rise again because of Lori's presence.

However, although Lowry did take care of those two families, he didn't really bring them any hope.

Self-preservation is no problem, but the idea of ​​becoming great again is utter nonsense.

But by doing this, Lowry actually severed ties with those two families.

Even the connection between Lowry's mother, Lady Yages, and the Gezar family has become increasingly apparent... As for Montes, that connection was severed long ago.

Even though she is still the Countess of Montes, that family has no connection with her anymore.

Toronto speculates that when she managed to bring the current Earl of Montes Fabrice to his current state, the Montes family was the only one who owed her anything.

These debts also extended to Lori Montes.

The Lord of Qingfeng Territory is a completely independent entity, except for his surname.

So good~
When Hades brought this up, the three of them were extremely envious.

Not to mention him and Persephone, even Hades couldn't sever the bloodline that Mount Olympus was holding tightly in Greece.

Therefore, Antirochus was able to seize the opportunity to sever those unnecessary kinship ties... truly clever and decisive!
Of course, this is also because the child had no greed at all and was only thinking about his own path.

I've never considered borrowing someone's help, so naturally I wouldn't consider the benefits of blood ties.

Antirochus was clearly very intelligent; he couldn't possibly be unaware that if his sister's father was a follower of the Night, then his father was very likely a high-ranking member of the Earth Church.

Although Euphemia's father was a loser in the power struggle, he still possessed considerable power and status.

As the eldest son, Antirochus's father's status would only be higher.

If he wanted, he could walk to the Earth Altar outside Emilia and ask a bishop for help.

No earth believer would abandon a child with the talent of a natural mage.

But the child never considered this step. He passed by more than a dozen earth altars, but still headed straight for the Church of the Dark Night.

Therefore, his biological father, who had never cared or helped him at all, naturally had no standing to stand on.

Toronto curled his lip... The Goddess of the Night was right. No matter how 'naive' that Earth Bishop was, he couldn't be unaware of what he had done.

Whether he was tempted or fell for a trap, wasn't it all his own doing?
Moreover, although the Tower Witch may be ruthless in her methods, she never resorts to underhanded tactics... She doesn't do things like drugging or using sleeping gas.

The allure of their long dresses, capable of making any man fall at their feet, is proof of their charm and a manifestation of their abilities.

Those underhanded tactics will only diminish their own charm.

Moreover, they will only have children for men who truly 'love' them.

Regardless of whether this 'love' stems from desire, at least when they are in bed, the infatuation is genuine.

The Goddess of the Night was actually being quite tactful. But that wasn't to save face for the Lord of the Earth; it was because she herself didn't want to use such vulgar language.

How could a 300-year-old man, who must have already guessed the identity and origin of a certain woman, not know the characteristics of a witch?

The existence of Antirochus should not be a secret.

Does he really know nothing?

Or perhaps, after all these years of trying to suppress his talent, Antirochus failed to attract his attention?
Because they lack the Earthly Talent, they've confirmed that the child isn't theirs... This is the kindest answer Toronto could come up with.

"Does he really know nothing?" Turning to look at the stern-faced Archbishop standing on the terrace, 'Toronto' couldn't help but ask.

“The Earth’s followers are very good at deceiving themselves.” The Goddess of the Night suddenly became interested and explained to him in a serious manner, “Just like them, they know very well that the Earth does not like them causing so much trouble for some sect or theoretical dispute, but they can still turn a deaf ear and pretend that they know nothing, and continue to shout and kill at their own people.”

As long as he doesn't know what he's thinking, then he can remain completely ignorant.

Of course, if Antirochus Harvey had suddenly developed the talent of a nature mage while he was in the castle, he might have suddenly come to his senses.

But, like those boxes that can only be opened under certain conditions… before that incident, he was just a naive 300-year-old fool.

“Don’t portray my followers as so… cunning,” the Lord of the Earth couldn’t help but say. “If the one standing here were the King of the Church of Vargas, then what you’re saying would be true.”

But Bran Garrett, he really wasn't that bad.

"You mean, this is a real idiot?" The Goddess of Night scoffed. "Do you think I'd believe that?"

“No, that’s not what I meant,” the Lord of the Earth quickly denied. “I meant that Bran Garrett is a typical mineralist.”

He would pack up all the bad things that happened to him, stuff them into the mine, and then never think about them again.

But he actually knows that doing so is wrong, so he punishes himself.

For example, staying in Emilia City to deal with these troublesome matters and giving up future promotions.

He was originally supposed to be a candidate for the High Priest of the Mineral School at the Main Temple.

You could say he was deceiving himself, but he genuinely forgot all those things after making the decision to punish himself.

He only knew that he had made a huge mistake.

The Goddess of the Night sent out a row of symbols that clearly represented confusion: щ(Д｀щ), (屮゜Д゜)屮, (-﹏-)……

They even clearly intend to continue posting.

Despite trying to suppress it, 'Toronto' felt her face contorting in empathy for those strange and vivid patterns.

When he first encountered this kind of writing, he was truly...

Although the symbols on the crystal ball flashed by rapidly, 'Toronto' still managed to remember quite a few.

He planned to go back and show it to Persephone, even though it was meaningless, but the greatest significance was that it would be interesting to people.

Come to think of it, he had just felt that the Lord of Storms and the others had given up their suspicions about Serene a little too quickly!
But now, he suddenly feels that he can understand it.

After all, Serene, who is so engrossed in this kind of game, may not necessarily have much interest in the world.

The goddess of the night, who could earn the time and serious instruction of someone like Serene, is indeed no small figure.

After all, how could the Goddess of the Night send out so many random graphic symbols if she wasn't teaching wholeheartedly?

He was already confused and could only remember the first two rows and the last few.

"Stop, Dark Night." The Sun God finally stepped in to stop his mad little sister. "Didn't you say long ago that the people of the Earth Church aren't quite right in the head?"

"This is beyond what you would call abnormal."

The goddess of the night, who cherishes her cubs, is truly incomprehensible.

"To put it bluntly, believers in the earth are inherently closer to nature," the sun god said calmly. "The more natural they are, the more animalistic they become, and the more they only think of themselves."

From the very beginning, they only valued the physical body.

The reason you always have interactions and conflicts with humans and the church is because you are fundamentally more focused on the soul.

It's okay if we don't understand each other.

Can outsiders possibly understand the spiritual and sensual elements of the Church of the Dark?

But don't interfere in areas that don't belong to you just because of this lack of understanding.

You should know best that the rain wasn't like this at the beginning.

She started going down the wrong path, even veering further and further off course, because she always felt that the other side of the storm should also be his territory.

But she couldn't catch the storm.

If she were still that rain goddess who cared about nothing, and at most sent a little rain when she sensed a believer's request..."

"Heh~ there's no point in talking about this." The sun god interrupted himself. "Once a god goes astray, it's too difficult to turn back."

Moreover, most gods do not think they are wrong; they will simply continue to walk down that path persistently.

Therefore, just focus on your own path and mind your own business.
