Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 630 Ezra's Envy
"Everyone's down, let's go first!" Mal called out from the front, "This tunnel is quite long."

The Qingfeng Knight immediately responded, "Got it. Captain, I'll put the alarm device in place."

"Okay!" Mal replied quickly, "Try not to waste your own mana and let the Wind Wolf help."

"Yes."

Ezra, who had already walked some distance, couldn't help but look back.

The knight was placing small discs on both sides of the passage, with a strange square tool in his hand. Every time he placed a disc, he would press and turn the square disc with many slots inside.

The green light lingering on the square plate will fade after he uses it a few times, and then he will randomly find a whirlwind transformed by a wind wolf and let it sway around the square plate for a while.

Then the spell light on the disc will become bright again.

He continued his work.

How is this different from, scholar?
Bowen's students only reach this level after reaching level eight.

It is really rare to find a knight who can do this... If a knight didn't know from a young age that he is not only smart, but also smart enough to be a scholar, which knight would learn these things?
The use of magic tools also requires a lot of skills, and not everyone can learn it easily... The attribute energy that appears after the knight reaches level 10 does allow them to use some complex magic items, but most people can only turn them on and off. It is really difficult for the knights to adjust them and find the appropriate level.

Do you really think that once you reach a certain level, you will be able to remember those complex patterns?
Otherwise, those wealthy nobles with mines would have turned their homes into museums of magical artifacts long ago.

Ezra was extremely envious and decided to go back and tell his wife about it.

The most expensive part of the awakening array is the construction period. No matter which type it is, the maintenance cost will basically not be much different.

As long as they have a good enough relationship with Qingfeng Territory and behave steadily and steadily... then maybe they will be able to pay some money in the future to get their children tested.

It doesn't matter for their children, they can't even get tested in the outside world.

As long as he was a member of the royal family, even if he was an illegitimate child, there was no way that he could be recorded by the awakening array of the outside world... In other words, no matter how he was tested, he was just an ordinary person.

If a child shows enough talent at a very young age, but is tested to have no talent, then... it is best to find a temple to test the father-son relationship.

This is easy, every temple can do it.

Of course, if apart from his own family, even neighbors and relatives do not recognize that the child is talented, there is no need to make yourself suffer.

After all, even in such a harsh world, there are still parents who think that their children's fart can send the white dragon flying.

No matter which country the royal family members are from, they will be shielded by the awakening array outside their own country's palace.

The alliance of nations back then really did a lot to ensure the rule of their own families.

But it does ensure the most legitimate existence of the royal family.

The only way to destroy this legitimacy is to completely destroy the country's infrastructure, kill or at least suppress the territorial nobles, and make them accept the fate of having to rebuild their territorial cities and castles.

Rebuilding on ruins is more difficult than building a new country.

Over the years, the countries that have been able to do this after signing the alliance agreement are all because the original royal family itself did not have a strong foundation, while the new people in power have extremely powerful support behind them... To put it bluntly, they have the full support of the church.

No church, including the earth, storms, and dark nights, can accomplish such a task that will inevitably alarm the gods just because of the impulse of an archbishop or even the pope.

Therefore, it can actually be said that these countries have been punished by God.

Some countries might be stingy with illegitimate children, or even unwilling to accept their existence, preferring to let them be "ordinary people" for their entire lives... Even if these children are fully aware of their origins and have practiced in other ways, they will always be considered untalented in the judgment of the awakening array.

This means that they cannot use their own abilities to advance through formal channels, and the only way is to become adventurers.

However, for a country that has to save even on a small amount of money like the royal allowance, it would be better for it to take risks abroad.

Talent will not disappear because of these things. Not to mention independent adventurers who are already rebellious against the royal aristocracy, even those adventure groups that have connections with the nobles will not fail to accept and teach them.

After all, the royal family is home to a large number of talented people. It is not easy to reach the high level, but it is very easy to reach the middle level.

If the adventure team wants to receive a child who is sure to reach the middle level, they have to pay a large sum of money to the child's parents!

Of course, this would never happen in the Northern Kingdom.

Any child who passes the bloodline detection array will be added to the royal roster.

However, illegitimate children will have two results depending on whether the father and mother are married.

Children born to single parents will be given royal surnames and included in the list of their parents' direct lineage.

Even the prince's children would be classified as members of the direct lineage.

However, if either of the parents is married... this restriction applies not only to members of the royal family, but also to their other spouse... they will all be included in the royal noble list.

Just like Ezra's children, when they register outside in the future, they will say they are Hamilton. But Hamilton will also be included in the royal sequence from now on, and others can no longer use this surname.

In fact, each royal family has one or several surnames, which are specifically used to place these unfortunate children.

But no matter how pitiful and unlucky these children sound, they have innate advantages over ordinary people, including children from aristocratic families.

Just like this multi-talent verification awakening array.

It allows them to know which path is most suitable for them from the very beginning.

In order to ensure that they do not go wrong on their path, nobles would basically choose to marry into a family with similar attributes to their own for generations.

But no one can guarantee that every generation will have the right partner.

No matter how cautious one is, the family blood will certainly continue to add new attributes.

After all, humans do not have real bodies like gods, so it is impossible for them to engage in intra-family marriage.

The nobles could only train their descendants according to the traditional ways of their family.

That, in fact, is equivalent to tacitly giving up on those children whose attributes conflict with these training methods.

There is no way. How could a normal noble have the capital to do this?
Ezra had no way to say anything about such things before. After all, he was a vested interest. He couldn't ask the royal family to open their secret base to the outside world just because he cared about his subordinates, right?
And he himself does not have the ability to achieve such an achievement.

Not to mention the horrific resource consumption, even the magic circle itself is not something that anyone can easily learn... It is almost like inviting the chief wizard of the court to construct a basic magic circle for a noble in a territory.

Even if we can find Arsalan, we must have enough capital to attract him!
However, now, he has one next door!

Ezra knew very well that Lori Montez was not an easy person to talk to.

However, most people would not be able to recognize the unusualness of the magic circle next door like he did.

As long as they can keep their mouths shut and sincerely offer enough resources, they can at least ask the other party to make some exceptions, right?

He didn't intend to send all the children in the entire territory to Qingfeng Territory, only the children of their knights.

Even though there are quite a few of them, not many of them have children.

Many knights in the army feel that they have a long life ahead of them, and that they should work hard while they are young, and not get married and have children until they have achieved certain success in their careers.

Then when they achieve success, many people get used to being single and don't want to give up their happy single life.

Although Ezra strongly criticized this and liked to let his subordinates see his harmonious family and lovely children...it seemed to be of no use.

Among the nearly one hundred knights, there are only more than forty children, all of whom are adults.

What Ezra needs to consider in the future are the children who may be born and the next generation of his existing children.

How should I put it...the marriage rate among the next generation of children is even lower.

After all, the Almes and Pearl they were supposedly following… that wasn’t about being single and happy, it was about being alone for the rest of their lives.

The youngest one is already over 30 years old, but there are only three new forces in their knight order.

Ezra didn't know what to say.

He had always been reluctant to leave the army precisely for this reason… At least the pensions in the army were very generous, so there was no need to worry about these guys becoming too old to move and having trouble supporting themselves.

But now, it's a bit embarrassing.

With so few children, it is impossible for them not to recruit new reserve knights. After all, the territory needs a large number of mid- and low-level knights.

On the surface, it is impossible to make the treatment between the old and the new appear unfair.

It doesn’t matter for the older ones, their ability guarantees their treatment.

But what about those children?
It’s impossible that several generations follow their family and finally become lost in the crowd due to this or that reason!
Ezra was unwilling to accept this result.

Another point is the issue of pension for the Knights Templar.

Ezra can ensure that his feelings remain unchanged. Even if his old brothers can no longer lift a gun or a shield, he will continue to give them an allowance...but this money cannot be written into the rules of the territory.

The hard work put in by those ordinary knights, who were equivalent to mercenaries, was not enough to earn them such generous treatment.

However, the nobles of the territory must ensure fairness on the surface...but humans will only see the unfairness of interests and will never think about whether they have that value.
