Chapter 1056: Chapter 539

Blue Dragon Jones bowed respectfully to Ivita, but when he tried to attack her, in that instant, he felt as if time around him had stopped. The originally warm river turned tumultuous, as if it wanted to eject him from this place.

If the universal Law hadn’t been incomplete, he would have been abandoned by the lake the moment hostility toward Ivita rose within him.

Within the Holy Empire’s borders, Ivita was always in a state close to ’spiritual unity with nature.’ Nature was him, and he was nature; he was the incarnation of the universal Law. To attack him was akin to attacking the heavens and the earth.

Blue Dragon Jones was wary of Ivita and reluctantly submitted, "Great Sovereign, why have you come here? There’s only my broken castle and a neglected homeland."

"Few have visited this place over the decades."

"Sovereign, whatever you seek here, you will not find—be it wealth, power, or knowledge; none are present here..."

Ivita said to Blue Dragon Jones, "Count Pulfaetz told me you are his friend. He once entrusted a woman to you, and the child she gave birth to is my target."

Blue Dragon Jones’s pupils dilated immediately. "No... there’s none..."

Faced with the Emperor of the Universal Empire, Blue Dragon Jones grew irritable under extreme pressure, which caused the lake’s surface to surge tumultuously, as if highlighting the dragon’s conflicted heart at this moment.

Blue Dragon Jones said, "There is none... you all leave, no, I mean, Sovereign..."

Within the lake, Blue Dragon Jones spread his wings, and a series of ice spikes fell from the sky, landing on the ground and turning it into frost. Many plants around the lake were frostbitten.

The Hearthstone Witch said to Ivita with some vigilance, "Your Majesty, this fellow seems to be in an abnormal mental state. In a moment, you’re going to use magic to control him."

Ivita spread his hands to the Hearthstone Witch and said, "No. You’re going to use magic to control it, not me. For some reasons, I now need to reduce the frequency of using magic."

"Ah?" The Hearthstone Witch suddenly hesitated. "I... can I do it? I’m not up for it. Why don’t we go back and bring the army? This is a grown Giant Dragon; even the Witch Marquis is no match for him."

"Giant Dragons have strong resistance to magic. Your Majesty, I’m no match for it."

Ivita silently scoffed.

He used the interface of the four elemental realms of the Druids and then summoned Treants nearby. Suddenly trees over a hundred years old rose from the ground. Some branches transformed into the strong arms of Treants, and some roots into their powerful legs; thirty Ancient Treants appeared and surrounded Blue Dragon Jones.

As the Ancient Treants approached Ivita, the natural forces converging from the sky rapidly entered their bodies, enhancing them and raising their level by three, transforming into Ancient War Treants.

Mysterious patterns appeared on the bark of these Treants. They pulled branches from their crowns to use either as wooden shields or as long spears.

Emboldened by energy, they surrounded Blue Dragon Jones, suggesting a predisposition to dragon-slaying.

Blue Dragon Jones instantly became alert. Within the lake, he steadily retreated, with his huge dragon body appearing extremely cautious, because the universal Law: Divine Suppression curtailed his power, preventing him from utilizing his energy fully.

At the same time, the Senior Treants Ivita had summoned experienced no such restraints.

Ivita said to Blue Dragon Jones, "The Crown of Burgundy originally belonged to the Emperor of the Holy Empire."

"All I’m asking is for its return to me. When the Holy Empire was founded, it was established by the Emperor along with dukes and kings. At the very beginning, the Emperor was endowed with four crowns, which constituted the Emperor’s complete authority."

"Anonymous Blue Dragon, you’re well aware of my reason for coming here."

Blue Dragon Jones hesitated. "Sovereign, my name is Blue Dragon Jones, a blue dragon who has lived in seclusion here with amiable relations with the Empire’s nobility."

"But... I cannot surrender them to you, for them to become sacrificial offerings for your power struggle. Please do not force me; some things are more important than one’s own life..."

Ivita looked at Blue Dragon Jones quizzically.

Right now, Blue Dragon Jones’s emotions were erratic, almost as if he had developed a special feeling towards that human woman.

Ivita patiently said to Blue Dragon Jones, "If you wish to protect them, you should let them come out to see me."

"I can offer you a lawful marriage... just return the title to me, and I can grant you a modest rank, enabling you to live happily. Seeing as you have no ambitions, why not do so instead of perilously occupying what belongs to the Emperor?"

"Frankly, I don’t even need to deal with you directly. If I spread the news of your whereabouts here, a whole host of nobles would come seeking you out."

"The Crown of Burgundy is of no use to you."

Rapid changes flitted through Blue Dragon Jones’s dragon eyes. He still seemed to hesitate, but suddenly the castle gates opened. A young woman and a youth of about twenty emerged.

At a glance, they appeared to be siblings.

But Ivita knew dragons had the means to grant their loved ones immortality, which meant the woman must be the Knight Duke’s wife from thirty years ago.

And the young man by her side was her child.
