Chapter 245: Chapter 167: The Location of the Elemental Flower and the Puzzlement of Potzstan’s Chief Commander_1

The crossing of such a large force had initially given Ivita a great headache, as it bore with it considerable risk.

They even intended to host a banquet in his own castle.

However, a turning point occurred when Councillor Ando suddenly approached him, stating that they had initially planned to use his castle to entertain the mayor of the Thirteen Mountain States. But in a surprising turn of events, the mayor decided to travel straight to Parviga.

This news left Ivita heaving a sigh of relief, albeit unwillingly so.

Because the mayor of the Thirteen Mountain States remained within his heavily guarded carriage throughout the journey, Ivita hadn’t had the chance to catch even a glimpse of him.

Perhaps the mayor didn’t deem it significant to meet with a Baron, so Ivita only had the opportunity to meet with the soldiers of the Thirteen Mountain States’ troops.

Similarly, the commander of the Potzstan Kingdom’s troops also chose to pass through directly, requiring no hospitality.

Perhaps they felt the close proximity of two different power groups was too dangerous, and thus were eager to leave his territory swiftly.

This could be seen as good news.

Ivita stood on the wall, watching his soldiers guide the two armies in and out of the mountain roads, leaving his domain.

He watched the mayor’s carriage disappear behind a small hill beside the mountain road, after which he could no longer see it.

Robert probably recognized the impoliteness of the mayor’s actions, deeming it improper to pass through someone’s territory without even paying a visit.

So he came over, stood beside Ivita, and quietly stated: "Thank you for your hospitality these past few days."

"As soon as these two figures pass, your territory will be safe again."

Ivita smiled and nodded slightly.

Ivita didn’t mind the mayor’s dismissive attitude towards him; quarrelling over such trivial matters was meaningless. One day, he would force the mayor himself to invite him reverence.

Ivita said: "Mr. Robert, you are also leaving to join Ambros, aren’t you?"

"Yes," Robert replied.

Ivita asked: "I’ve heard that the Ambrose Grand Viscount once had a wife, have you heard of her?"

Robert gave a bitter smile. "How could I have not heard of her."

"That woman is not a simple figure."

"She once used a lost crystal glove, forcing the Grand Viscount to look for her from house to house; a civilian, a witch, yet she brought our country to its current state."

"In the end, she killed the Grand Viscount. Oh, I don’t want to talk about this dreadful topic."

Although Ivita didn’t think a woman could change a country to this extent, he still silently nodded in agreement.

At the same time, he thought to himself, the reputation of the old witch’s disciple is that bad?

Whether she truly killed the Grand Viscount or not, now that was a question indeed.

...

The first army to pass was the force from the Thirteen Mountain States.

It took half a day for the troops from the Thirteen Mountain States to fully pass the castle and the pass.

The troops of the Potzstan Kingdom also began to cross the border.

The cavalry commander of the Potzstan Kingdom did not sit in a carriage like the mayor of the Thirteen Mountain States, as although the Thirteen Mountain States had a strong military noble culture, the government governing the country was still a civil government, albeit a weak one.

The cavalry commander of the Potzstan Kingdom was a Great Knight, due to the uniqueness of the Ambros Basin, he had the opportunity to command this army.

Otherwise, although the cavalry commander position cannot be achieved simply by strength, at least a fourth-level Superior Knight is required to serve.

Besides, the strength of the Superior Knights was barely sufficient, and required a bit of luck and relationship maneuvering to make it work.

And he was just a third-level peak Great Knight.

Therefore, Cavalry Commander Olynn cherished this opportunity tremendously.

He viewed this opportunity as the chance to obtain more resources which the God of All Things had bestowed upon him, and the greatest opportunity he had in his life.

If he missed it, he would lose it forever.

Cavalry Commander Olynn originally did not think highly of the baron here, he who was all-consumed in climbing the social ladder, was keenly inclined towards the flames of power and thus did not waste any thoughts on low-ranking nobles from small places.

But when he raised his head and glanced at Ivita on the city wall, his pupils abruptly contracted.

The deputy accompanying him noticed this and asked quietly, "Sir, what’s wrong?"

"It’s just...too similar. How can this be? What is the relationship between the Witch Queen and him? This is impossible." Olynn muttered to himself. "I absolutely cannot let the Witch Queen know about this, or else she might do something terrible."

"The less said, the better."

Olynn shook himself and then turned to his deputy. "Order the whole army to speed up, we need to leave here promptly."

The deputy glanced in the direction Olynn was gazing at, at the Potzstan kingdom’s cavalry commander, and at Ivita who was observing the army beneath the castle. He found it strange.

There didn’t appear to be anything wrong.

What was it?

......

On top of the city wall, Black Wolf had approached Ivita on the wall. He informed Ivita, "Your Highness, Lady Robin has finally told me the location of the Elemental Flower."

"But she hopes that once you know, you will let her leave."

"She has threatened you... if you dare to break the agreement, she will definitely take revenge."

Ivita ignored the threat, spread her hands, and said, "Of course."

"Because if it is so, she has already repaid her debt to me."

As long as I find the Elemental Flower, I will find the source of my Thunder Magic. With the Destructive Celestial Sphere I will obtain from Kappa Town, I can assemble all the Sources of Magic."

Black Wolf nodded, "Lady Robin said that she had once seen an Elemental Flower that had not yet matured in the wilderness northeast of a town. However, because the flower had not fully grown and there were occasional lightning strikes and cutting winds around it, she did not tempt fate."

"She originally planned to pick the flower later, but unexpectedly she met the Saxon Princess and then ran into the Wild Boar Knights and you."

Ivita: "..."

A town?

It wouldn’t be Kappa Town, what a coincidence.

Wait.

Perhaps Kappa Town had been monopolising the magical resources in this area all along.

It could even be possible that the immature Elemental Flower was discovered by the witches of Kappa Town elsewhere and then transplanted to Kappa Town.

As expected, Olynn just heard Black Wolf say, "That town is called Kappa Town."

"You had us investigate that town before."

"Enemies sure do cross path often."

Ivita’s face was an odd color. "Indeed, enemies’ paths cross often."

"Then you can let Lady Robin go. You can also go to the kitchen and offer her some food."

"Let her fill her stomach."

Just then, a mournful voice cut through the city wall, drowning out the sound of the march, and reached Ivita’s ears.

"Your Grace, I have suffered a huge loss this time."

Ivita turned around only to see the filthy, blood-stained Old Witch running onto the city wall, her face full of grievance and her eyes brimming with tears, looking like she had been bullied.

The Hearthstone Witch said resentfully to Ivita and the Knight Griffin, "I can’t believe I was tricked by my own apprentice."

"Ungrateful brat!"

Ivita was speechless.

She disappeared for two days, and this is how she shows up?

It appears...you’ve just been beaten up.

Ivita raised an eyebrow. "Isn’t your apprentice just a witch’s apprentice?"
