Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 999 Some things are better left unthought
"Hmm?" Yagris raised her voice slightly. "What kind of use?"

She never really cared about Lori's career progress... To an agility-based knight, the mage's endless theoretical research could only be described as malicious.

Even though Agriss was a rare, wise knight who was willing to explore principles and even gain the recognition of scholars, her learning was still utilitarian.

Once the goal is achieved, the books can naturally be placed on the bookshelf as decorations.

The main reason why Yagris rarely went to Lori's large study was that she couldn't stand the endless stacks of books that reached the ceiling... What was most terrifying was that Lori had actually read all of them.

Then, his small study continued to receive new books, and every day books that were no longer needed were sent to his large study for display.

Although Lowry didn't care much about the affairs of Maple Ridge and left the daily life of the castle entirely to Chesca, he would personally arrange each and every one of these books.

Her son can even instantly tell you where a book is!
The most terrifying thing is that Lowry even had three identical copies of each of these books.

One copy in the castle, one copy in his demiplane, and another copy in the underground palace, or rather, in the future astral castle.

Even though Iagris had dealt with scholars before, she still found her son somewhat terrifying.

Therefore, as long as Lori is normal, she will never care about her son's path to becoming a mage... Anyway, she doesn't understand it, so why bother making herself upset?
But she still asked the question today.

She needed to be fully aware of everything related to Gezar.

Even though she had rebelled to the point of 'digging up her ancestors' graves,' Yagris still held onto a glimmer of hope for the future.

What if, among all of Agnes's many descendants, one of them is a true Gezar?
Although the chances are slim, it's not entirely impossible!
Perhaps it was just wishful thinking, but Yagris still intended to make the preparations first.

The message from Lowry became very important.

She wouldn't ask about things unrelated to Gezar, but other things...

Even if she really didn't want to use her brain, she had to.

Lori could understand her thoughts, so she answered in great detail: "My own attributes lean towards the sky."

Wind, water, sunlight, even the dark night.

But local jurisdiction isn't really that great.

"I've never quite understood whether water belongs to the sky or the earth in your eyes? I see you directing the lakes and streams in the castle with such ease."

"Much stronger than any royal archmage I've ever seen... those were even water-based!" Agris asked earnestly.

"The goddess of rain is also the lord of the sky! But she can also influence the oceans and lakes."

Lowry knew her mother had almost no concept of the laws, so she tried to explain it in terms she could understand: "The laws are very strict; if you only control one part, you cannot become the master of the other part."

But that doesn't mean she can't mobilize the forces on that side.

In concept, a law is an endless line; even touching just the edge will open a door for you.

However, if another part has a different wielder, then although the Laws may be willing to open the door, the wielder will inevitably erect a high threshold, preventing you from passing through.

The power is still usable, but it will be much weaker.

The only way is to defeat him and then tear down that threshold.

The reason why the Goddess of Rain was in such a hurry to complete the mission of giving birth to the ocean gods with the Lord of Storms was because she was certain that she could not extend her power to the earth, and she did not want that threshold to appear in front of her.

How could the sea god she was born from possibly seal her power?

Furthermore, she could even use this connection to truly connect with the earth.

Agris seemed to understand. She said thoughtfully, "So, when you use water magic, you tend to use spells like thunderstorms or blizzards?"
Because of this, you can control it.

While you can use things like making the earth gush forth with springs, and even gain bonuses from it, you can't control its power?

“Yes.” Lori knew that his mother was actually very smart, but she just didn’t like to use it. “If I use the Blizzard spell, I can make it appear within a ten-meter range without it being a millimeter too far.”

I can even control the wind speed and the size of the snowflakes inside.

But even with the best efforts, I can only control the gushing spring within the most basic range of magic... but that would mean giving up the bonuses that the water elemental laws give me.

Therefore, I usually only use this kind of spell in places where I don't need to control it.

For example, digging a new river in the territory doesn't require overly meticulous work.

Yagris now completely understood: "Do these stones give you more control over earth magic?"

Lowry shook her head, then nodded as if she remembered something: "There's hardly any specific help."

I just don't have the Earth attribute bonus, but the spells themselves are still usable.

They may have preferences, but they are not limited to using only the spells they are best at.

But no matter how hard I try, I won't get this kind of bonus just because I try.

Yagris blinked: "However, but?"

“But as an alchemist, I have to study all kinds of materials.” Lori laughed. “Even if I only figure out 80% of the formula for a stone like this, it will be of great help to my future path. Actually, according to the classification of alchemists, although I am considered good at creating exotic items, I am... clearly more focused on gemstone making.”

Gems, although mainly produced from the earth, have a more extreme nature, requiring a high level of mental strength from alchemists, and do not need any special attributes.

The only advantage that earth-attribute alchemists have in gem crafting is that they can immediately sense what attribute a gem is and how many energy points it contains.

However, mages with sufficiently strong mental power can bridge these gaps by communicating with the spirit of the gem.

However, I am completely incapable of refining metals and stones.

Most of them are made by improving upon standard recipes, and it takes a lot of time to become familiar with the basic properties of certain materials... This is why alchemists spend so much money.

The only way is to master enough formulas and understand the proportions of more materials... The more you know, the more effective you can be in the face of new materials, and the more you can figure out a method that works through experience.

I'm actually fine with metals.

But Stone, I really am...

Of course, most importantly, my teacher, Alsalan, is a metal alchemist.

There don't seem to be many mages who play with stones in the North.

"Are they all at the Earth Church?" Agris asked curiously.

“I guess so…” Lowry replied somewhat absentmindedly, “Although, theoretically speaking, metals also fall under the category of earth.”

However, the Church of the Earth clearly favors nature and does not conduct much research on alloys or similar materials.

Their temples were also typically made of stone.

It was probably to cooperate with those plantations.

Yagris pondered for a moment and said, "So, why does Gezar have such special stone?"

If it's Sebefia, then it's understandable, since they are relatively close to Vargas and clearly have connections with the Church of the Earth.

What about Gezar? And what was the reason for that?
"Lowry, are you hiding something from me?"

Lori pinched his brow helplessly before sighing and saying, "The bloodline of our ancestor Gezar contains not only the golden blood of the sun believers but also the demonic bloodline of the dark angels."

Although she has left this world, you have also encountered a certain being; some dangers are best left unmentioned.

Although he told Lady Yages most of the things, he concealed the origin of the Dark Angels by claiming they came from an evil foreign faction that had "abandoned evil and embraced good."

It's not that I think Yages can't handle this blow, but... while that lady is still around, it's best to mention her as little as possible.

Who knows which careless word might bring the other person from hell, or even from the side of Asmodeus?

Of course, he exaggerated a bit, after all... there are some things his mother is better off not thinking about.

Mrs. Yages, who had also witnessed her neighbor's adventures, immediately understood why Lori had kept quiet: "Are both sides there?"

“Heaven knows, earth knows,” Lowry gave an absurd answer.

But Yagris could still understand: they were all alive, and all living with their respective bosses, so it was best not to mention it unless necessary.

Perhaps, Sebefia's demonic bloodline isn't even as strong as her ancestor's... wait, could she be a descendant of one of her ancestor's henchmen?
She looked at Lowry with a questioning gaze.

Lowry understood immediately and replied, "Although we're not on the same path, we're from the same family."

Sebefia's bloodline comes from succubi, and she may very well be a succubus who fell from the Dark Angels again.

Gezar, on the other hand, is a dark angel who wants to rediscover the heart of the battle angel.

Although it's unknown which of these two is a descendant of the humanoid dragon, there's really no need to investigate.

Both are dead ends.

No matter how much these dark angels misbehave or go mad, they will eventually return to Asmodeus.

Furthermore, there might even be some special relationship between Gezar and Sebefia.

After all, given their style, unless there's a special reason, succubi and dark angels would choose to stay away from each other.

But if they were sisters in the past... even angels born from the Pool of Life could become twins.

It means that two identical angels were born from one egg of life.

Even if twin angels ultimately choose completely different paths, they will still maintain a connection with each other.

It's perfectly normal for their offspring to have some interaction.

Mrs. Yages looked at her son with a bewildered expression: "Lorry, is your fate also something that someone has foreseen?"

"Maybe?"
