Chapter 145: Chapter 114: Witch Anna’s Transformation of the Redwood Forest (5166)_2

"I intend to make the redwood saplings grow again on this land, to let the humans of Ambros understand that all these mistakes originated from their Mortal King Rosamond, whom they worship as a god."

"Therefore, I need to do another thing, to ensure that Rosamond only has bastards, unable to give birth to legitimate heirs with his wife—the Duchess. In this way, Rosamond will certainly face misfortune in his later years. Without a legitimate successor, the state will inevitably fall into division and civil war."

"He will tragically die amidst the squabbling of his sons for the throne. He will live to see his great achievements crumble and disperse, as though they had never existed."

"This is the cruelest punishment for any ambitious ruler."

"He worked hard his entire life, only to see everything easily reduced to ashes in his old age by his own sons."

"But what’s more important is that once this happens, the people of Viscount Ambrose’s Independent Country would not pay attention to the Clock Kingdom. The civil war will cause them to lose the historical facts that they have already hidden. And in the end, the people of Ambros will forget about the Clock Kingdom completely, which is what I hope for."

"They will not even remember how to restore the Thousand-Year Fire, or why the Thousand-Year Fire goes out periodically. Once such unprecedented upheaval occurs, even if Ambros manages to barely recover, the internal structure and heritage will inevitably be lost."

"During this process, I have another powerful supporter for my revenge—Pan."

"I admit I underestimated him in the past. He is a good friend, always appearing at my side when I’m most desolate, guiding me, forecasting for me, pointing to outcomes that benefit me. If I had listened to him sooner, I wouldn’t have ended up in this state."

"Once such internal strife occurs in Ambros, I can quietly, without any interruptions, research and modify the Laws of the Great Redwood Sea here."

"As it turns out, I did indeed succeed, everything proceeded as I had anticipated."

"At the same time, I secretly killed the Ambros officers who stayed in the Clock Kingdom, gradually leading them to forget their identity as Ambros people, convincing them to reform their army into a kingdom."

"Altering customs to make them forget the name of Ambros people."

"I originally wanted to guide them to hate Ambros people. Imagine, over a hundred thousand soldiers, freed from the Miniaturization Magic and fighting with Fire Demons all their lives, entering the real world. How formidable such an army would be."

"I could sacrifice most of my Mana to allow these humans, adapted to a small-life existence, to adjust to the real world."

"But later, I just got tired."

"My husband, Lord Arcusi, is a native Ambros. He loves this land. If he were still alive, he certainly would not agree with what I’m doing. So, I suddenly felt tired and thought everything I had done seemed meaningless."

"So, when I was halfway through the history reconstruction process of the Little People in the Clock Kingdom, I just lost interest in continuing it and let them develop naturally."

"I returned to the Clockwork Box and never left again."

Ivita closed her notebook, her heart sinking. "I knew it."

"When I found out she brought only a seed into the Clock Kingdom, and then saw the redwood here, I knew that something was seriously wrong. But I didn’t expect that she intended to overthrow the foundation of order in Ambros."

The Hearthstone Witch was also frightened.

The depth of Witch Anna’s malice scared her.

Witch Anna intended to exact revenge on all the people of Ambros, in order to appease her wrath.

The Hearthstone Witch exhaled, "Thankfully, it seems she failed. At least, she did not fully succeed."

"Your Grace, you should quickly check her diary to see if there’s a record of the cause of the extinguishing of the Thousand-Year Fire, and a way to make the Thousand-Year Fire burn continuously."

"If we really find this method, even if we just sell it to the Ambros people, we can obtain huge riches."

"Hmm, but where did the body go? No, that’s not right." Ivita looked around the room and found no sign of Witch Anna’s body, or the parrot she brought in."

The Old Witch had already started flipping through the diary under the spring. When Ivita was looking for the body, she opened a notebook and said, "I’ve found it, the reason why she, being at least a high-level witch, possibly even a marquis-level, was forced to stay here."

"Your Grace, look here. It says that after the Grand Viscount used poisoned wine and ten Great Knights to kill her husband, Lord Arcusi the Igniter, he took her two young children hostage."

"The Grand Viscount of Ambros Independent Viscount, Rosamond, forced her to voluntarily enter the Clock Kingdom, never to leave, in exchange for the lives of her two children."

"While Witch Anna is indeed powerful, she is alone and vulnerable, not capable of guarding against enemies from every corner. Therefore, after her husband’s death, she couldn’t fight against Grand Viscount Rosamond who had the resources of an entire country."

The Old Witch said, "This diary says, Rosamond promised to send her daughter to the Snow Mountain to become an apprentice of the Ice Witch, and maybe even to become the next Ice Witch."
