Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 997 The Diggers in the Ruins

The blazing sun was making people feel irritable and restless.

Wiping the sweat from her brow, Yages turned to her son standing behind her: "Lorry, is there really something here that would be good for Pat?"

Lowry nodded thoughtfully: "Logically speaking, yes, but I'm only 50% sure."

“That’s enough.” Yagris looked up at the ruins where they were, her fingers trembling slightly. “Even if there was only a one in ten chance, I was willing to come.”

Lori sighed, "I knew this place could be troublesome, but I never imagined it would be this troublesome, where there can't be even the slightest fluctuation of magical power."

He looked up at his mother's Gale Wolf, which was patrolling above, and sighed helplessly: "I thought it was just that humans other than those of the Gezar bloodline couldn't come in, but I didn't expect that even wolves can't come in!"

After discovering Pat's whereabouts, Lowry felt something was amiss.

He knew very well that Pat had simply gone along with it when she revealed her pregnancy in Vargas.

It was because she had no choice but to do it, which was unexpected.

Therefore, Pat's pregnancy date is absolutely correct.

The birth would take twelve months... Although there were some positive possibilities, given the origins of the Gezhar bloodline and Pat's own identity, the outcome was absolutely unpredictable.

Pat can think positively, but he can't just go with the flow.

After much deliberation, Lowry decided to go back and discuss it with Mrs. Yages.

Although his mother loved him very much, it didn't mean she would tell him the deepest and most secret things about Gezar.

Lady Yages hated her uncle not only because he was the culprit who caused her family to fall into ruin, but also because the Gezar family had completely lost its future because of him.

She was born into this world after all, and once took pride in her family... Wolf of Gerzar, what a resounding name!

It's gone just like that.

Of course, unlike some people, Aragris would not blame the family's downfall on the girls who couldn't bear it.

Although she had never experienced that suffering, she understood that the only way to resolve pain was through revenge, not by distancing herself or forgiving.

The only thing she could do for her family was to keep those secrets deep in her heart.

Until one day, another qualified Gezar appeared.

Lowry was well aware of her mother's thoughts... Although Gale Wolf didn't know everything, he could get a general idea of ​​most of the things.

The wolf clan is known for its vengeful nature and will not hold any grudges against Gezar because of past relationships.

They abide by the contract, but that's all there is to it.

Even if one has feelings for their friends, it is only one-on-one and does not constitute racial recognition.

The reason why Lowry wasn't dissatisfied with Gale Wolf's complete disclosure was because both of them understood... that Lowry was the one who would live longer.

Choosing Lowry was, in effect, putting themselves in a shackle that could never be broken.

But compared to being led all the way to hell by Count Gezar, becoming a humanoid dragon's eternal follower is not such a big problem.

Their resentment towards Gezar is actually understandable.

Committing numerous evil deeds, even attempting to harm the Gale Wolves, is nothing compared to... The Gale Wolves might even choose to sacrifice a portion of their race in exchange for the restoration of their freedom.

Both sides of the alliance have left themselves room to maneuver for their own escape... The place where Lowry and her mother are currently located, Gezhar, is the human side's backup plan.

But Count Gezar is hooking up with the devil!
The Gale Wolves are creatures that have existed since ancient times. They have witnessed how the gods racked their brains to drive away these evil creatures, but still could not completely succeed... They have seen the Sun God's Aurora Cannon fired several times!

But the devil will still appear.

Moreover, these guys know everything about the past and are even very good at taking advantage of previous failures.

If the Gale Wolf merely tears apart its pact with Gezar, it could very well become the devil's weak point in the end.

Given the choice between being a follower of a dragon who has decent character and a basic moral compass, or being a tool that's worse than a dog to a devil, Gale Wolf would naturally choose the former.

Although the Gale Wolves, unable to break through the limits of their race, probably won't live to see the day Lori Montes grows a beard.

Therefore, the Gale Wolf has essentially locked onto Lowry, and it's only natural that they would reveal the secrets of the Gezar family to claim credit.

Lowry was content with everything he had and had no interest in digging into Gezar's foundation.

Mrs. Yages should know a little about these things as well.

The Gale Wolf did not hide these things from her companion, who had always been open and honest with her.

She simply left everything to Lowry to decide... and if Lowry wanted it, she wouldn't stop her.

Family legacy is indeed important, but the feelings of one's own son are even more important.

The mother and son have always had a great understanding.

However, these considerations, whether they exist or not, are meaningless in the face of Pat's safety.

Lowry only gave a slight hint, but Mrs. Yages resolutely chose to take action. Anyway, for the two of them now, going out wouldn't be difficult.

One can blend into one with its partner and move with the wind, while the other... not only knows how to fly, but also has a broom with a speed comparable to a swift wolf.

Lowry's broom, which originally only had some spiritual response, would probably become a minor artifact if he used it for several hundred more years.

Although there is still a strong desire to clean thoroughly, I no longer do it myself, but instead use cleansing spells to solve the problem in designated areas.

This is indeed just the most basic spell, but the broom has already learned to analyze and judge for itself and then decide whether to use the spell... Even if it's rigid, it's still thinking.

The place the mother and son came from was not the Count Gezar's Castle or the Gezar Ancestral Land, which had been searched countless times.

Rather, it was the original Gezar's home, the home of the Gezar before he became allies with the Gale Wolves... the ancient castle nestled in the mountains that was completely destroyed by the White Dragon invasion.

Perhaps Count Gezar, who made an alliance with the Gale Wolves, had other ideas for the future. So, after regaining his territory, he chose to build a new castle and a new city in the plains below the mountain.

After that, even though it was the former territory of Lady Yagelis, Gezar did not extend further into the mountains.

Moreover, the direction is also biased towards the territory of the Gale Wolves.

That ruin was like an old dream that Gezar could no longer recall, utterly abandoned.

However, the real secret of Gezar lies here.

Of course, when Count Gezar abandoned the castle, there were people or wolves who had doubts.

Even now, the ruins still harbor faint magical turbulence, which gives you an idea of ​​how terrifying it must have been back then.

Of course, Count Gezar wasn't truly unable to handle it.

Otherwise, Lori and Agris, who only possess bloodlines, wouldn't have been able to enter so easily... while the Gale Wolves were completely unable to get close.

The seemingly chaotic and illogical flow of magic actually dispersed automatically around them.

This is not actually a good ending; on the contrary, it proves that in the Northern Kingdom, Agris and Lori are the closest blood relatives of Gezar.

Otherwise, the magic circle wouldn't recognize their existence, especially Lori, who has a complicated bloodline and is not of the same surname.

Traditional family formations in ancient times did not care about severing control over female members simply because they married out and took a different surname.

At that time, there were too few family members.

The continuation of the family line is of utmost importance; as long as the bloodline remains, the legacy can continue.

However, with the victory of the White Dragon War and the fall of the gods, the royal families and nobles developed too well. Families with some power began to have ancestral lands for their direct descendants who did not have the right to inherit the throne to live in... This was simply impossible in ancient times.

Even the royal family was reduced to just a few hairs because of the White Dragon War!

Other families are even less relevant; they are considered lucky to have managed to preserve their existence.

However, ancient magic arrays also have some rather demanding requirements.

For example, Anise, who has already been removed from the Northern Kingdom's magic array, will be considered an outer member.

Not to mention Lori, even some of the more distantly related Ghazars have a higher right to inherit than her.

It could even be said that as long as there is one person of the Gezar bloodline in the Northern Kingdom, no matter how thin that bloodline is, it will still have a higher right to inherit from Bianice.

This was the most basic quality of the nobility before the King's Covenant came into being.

Family succession must never take precedence over national security.

Without a country, where is the home... especially for a nobleman like Gezar who is bound to go to the front lines to fight.

It is understandable that her inheritance rights were not completely revoked.

If there really isn't a single person of Gezar blood in the country, then it can only prove that either the country has completely abandoned the Gezar... Even if the chieftain betrayed the country, it wouldn't implicate so many people!

Or perhaps the Northern Kingdom has also disappeared.

When the country is gone, those rules naturally no longer need to be followed.

Lowry actually prefers this ancient magic array pattern.

During that period, noblewomen did indeed have a higher status, and many families treated their daughters very well, even choosing husbands for them who had influence and real power.

This is, of course, so that if one day the family bloodline were to be accidentally cut off, the daughter could single-handedly support the family's return... During wartime, even the most devoted female nobles would choose to have two children.

Although they don't have to go to the battlefield, they still need to support the hopes of two families.

Unlike now... only the strong can break free from the constraints of gender.

The same applies to the Dark Zone.

When Lowry set up the family magic circle for his territory, it was based on the ancient magic circle, and then he added the accessories required by the current system... If one day the world returns to its original state, then as long as the accessories are removed, there will be no problem.

Even though Lori has already traveled to the stars, Lily, who is already very familiar with these magic circles, will not have any problems.
