Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 1012 Lowry's Theory of Causality
Alexis had never understood why Lori had such an ethereal and aloof nature.

His past shouldn't have led him to such a tragic end... From the very beginning, there seemed to be a barrier between Lowry and this world, and even when he arrived in Qingfeng Territory, he seemed to blend in.

Despite all the things he does that have nothing to do with his own interests and how much he seems to care for the civilians in his territory, in reality, if those people do something stupid, Lowry can absolutely walk away without lifting a finger.

He had no attachment to her, and the only person he could accept making repeated foolish mistakes was Yagris.

Even Lily, whom he now dotes on so much, can't get into the depths of Lowry's heart.

This is very scary.

Even Anise couldn't be that resolute!

The Gezar family's affairs were nothing more than a few years' worth of gossip in the world of nobles; the Montes family's situation was nothing compared to that.

If it weren't for Lowry, this matter wouldn't even have spread to other countries!

It's impossible for a monk who is well-read and has access to countless information to still be affected by the shadows of the past after so many years.

Perhaps this is what makes the bloodline of the humanoid dragon so special?
Other dragons don't look like that either.

Alexis stopped thinking about the things she couldn't understand.

Her many years of experience have taught her to enjoy life while she can and to think less and worry less.

She felt that the Valera siblings were doing the right thing.

Regardless of whether Lori will stop missing them after a long time apart, as long as he stays by Agris's side and remains in Lori's reservation, he will remember them.

A hundred years may not hold his heart, but a thousand years will surely make him remember that there are others waiting for his return.

No, I have absolutely no expectations of anyone other than Aggris... While that would prevent me from getting hurt, it would also be too lonely.

So many people genuinely love him!

What a troublesome child!

Alexis smiled expectantly, touching her belly, hoping that her two babies would be easier to answer than her older brother's.

Although there are still more than half a month before the birth, Alexis is already certain that at least one of her two children will have pure solar blood.

Every time Antirochus passed by her house, she would get kicked twice in the stomach... clearly overly excited.

Moreover, when passing by Antiochus's house, the child would obviously thrash around.

Alexis hadn't left the house for days because of this, and she wasn't going to let the child have his way.

It's not even out of her belly yet! And you already want to boss her around?

You're overthinking it.

Alexis knew she might not be a normal mother, but... it was normal for her to be a little overly sensitive after watching Anise's daughter grow up.

After discovering she was pregnant, Alex vowed that she would only grant her children’s reasonable requests and strictly reject their unreasonable tantrums.

Fortunately, the two children were quite well-behaved.

Although there might be some commotion, it's not necessary to achieve the desired outcome.

Alexis rubbed her belly: The biggest drawback of Astral Fortress is that there isn’t enough sunlight.

Then, when the time comes, let this child become the sun for Agris.

Anyway, it's not really appropriate for it to stay on the ground.

Although Lori and Agris would certainly not reveal her whereabouts, but... what secrets are absolute?

Just like Bran Garrett, who came to the Antirochus door from the outside.

Even without the blood connection, didn't he still know that this was his own son?
Rather than worrying that Yuri might recognize the children one day, she'd rather take them with her to heaven with Agris.

It would also make Agris's life a little more comfortable... How could Agris, who loves the manor that Lori built for her so much, possibly think that the Star Fortress, where only magical gardens can grow flowers and trees, is suitable for living?
Although Lowry would do his best to create the perfect living area for his mother, he couldn't turn a place without sunshine, rain, air, and soil into a second Maple Ridge.

But if there were a real sun bloodline there, things would definitely be much better.

This is a win-win situation, right?

Alexis knew, of course, that Lori’s Astral Fortress would accept them regardless of whether she and the child were of any use.

However, she herself does not accept a life where she can only be taken care of by others.

She has been strong for so many years, and she has learned not to rely on anyone completely anymore.

After all, all the reliance ultimately came to nothing.

The sounds of arguing outside reached her ears faintly. Alexis suddenly pushed open the window to make the noise clearer... She wanted her two children, who were already aware of the outside world, to know that sometimes a father is just a nuisance and there's no need to acknowledge him.

Of course, she knew that doing so might be a little unfair to Yuri; that guy wouldn't be as shameless as the Archbishop in front of her. Since they had already given up on finding out who the child's father was, what was the point of insisting on acknowledging paternity now?
Yuri should be able to give up and never look back.

But Alexis still had to be cautious... Yuri, who was in high spirits now, wouldn't think that the chosen son of God was valuable, but what about later?
His Majesty Travis has not had a smooth journey these past years, and he has even had to watch his subordinates seek their own deaths one by one. What special qualities could Leon and Yuri possibly have?
Those people from Tiger Blade could remain steadfast in their loyalty to the two men even in the face of hardship and adversity, but could they still do so under the influence of money and power?

No one will indulge in pleasure or become addicted to wealth?

Alexandra didn't believe it.

The Lord of the Tower must have discovered some flaws back then, which is why he gave her an opportunity to seduce Yuri.

During those days, although it seemed that the Lord of the Tower was too lazy to look at her decadent behavior, normally, if given a day, he would probably call her away in his spiritual sea.

Such a long period of time, and deliberately chosen when Yuri was not in the palace... Alexandra was certain that among those people from Tiger Blade, some must have already begun to understand the importance of power.

They don't need to abandon brotherhood and kindness for power right now. Even the slightest trace of them is enough for the Lord of the Tower to take action.

Even if there are other goals now, that won't stop the Lord of the Tower from leaving some opportunities for his future self.

Alexis lowered her eyes slightly, her large eyes filled with relief.

She truly had no desires from the Tower Master; her only wish was to repay the life-saving grace she had received years ago.

Although she hadn't spent much time with Lowry, she seemed to understand some of Lowry's concept of 'cause and effect'.

Of course, Lowry didn't actually say much, he just drew an equal sign on the paper when his two stupid brothers and his stupid father angered him.

Lowry ranked the Montes family’s stupidity into ten levels and then prepared ten responses he considered equivalent to them.

Occasionally, he would sigh at the three empty lines at the top... Although Count Montes would occasionally cross his bottom line, he had never done anything so important that it could be listed at the top.

Lowry had always wanted him to do it.

In that case, he could abandon all his patience and completely break ties with that family.

Even the eldest couple, who were known for their many tricks, hadn't done it... Lowry would sigh about it every time.

At first, Ariges didn't quite understand why Lori insisted on waiting.

On two occasions, the methods of the eldest brother Alex and his wife had already appeared in the sixth line... Although Lowry's way of retaliating was also amazing, he never thought of taking this matter a step further and making it to the point of a complete falling out.

Then Lori brought up the so-called concept of cause and effect with her.

Count Montes was, after all, his father; even though he had done some bad things, he had still given him blood and status.

This cause and effect cannot be influenced by the actions of anyone else, not even the Earl of Montes' own son; it can only be due to the Earl of Montes' own foolishness.

Of course, if Alex goes too far and he investigates, and then Earl Montes goes too far in protecting him, then Lori could also flip the table.

Although it's a bit of a stretch, the cause can still be attributed to Count Montes.

But, almost, almost.

If Lowry plays to his own abilities, then the prize belongs to him.

It's very likely that Alex, who would have been killed by his own stupidity, was saved for this reason!
The current situation is not enough to make him take this risk.

Although she didn't quite understand what he said at the time, it still resonated with her.

Lori didn't hide the fact that he had a fragment of a semi-divine artifact from her and Agris after he was able to speak and walk.

To prevent outsiders from noticing this, Yagris and she even gave all the storage devices outside their main storage ring to Lori to wear.

Only in this way can the endless stream of good things about him appear normal.

At most, it might make people think that Agris spoils Lori too much... but so what?

At Montes Castle, Lori is their only future.

Lowry, if she wants to control her own future, must work harder and be smarter.

Therefore, despite some concerns, they did not interfere excessively when they saw that the artifact had taught Lori a lot and had not tried to control his soul.

It's just a matter of talking to Lowry a few times every day to confirm that his way of thinking is still his own... That's easy, Lowry's way of thinking is actually somewhat out of step with the normal world.

Although those artifact fragments came from elsewhere, their underlying logic was actually no different from that of their world.

If Lowry were influenced, she definitely wouldn't say something that seemed logical but was...inappropriate.

Therefore, that thing should really just be an ordinary fragment, and it didn't have any effect on Lowry in the end.

Unlike Arigris, who chose to ignore the situation because she was anxious, Arigris was still curious about what Lori had learned.

Of course, she couldn't be too concerned, lest she cause trouble for Lowry.
