Chapter 375: Chapter 232: Gaining Two Sources of Magic, Source of War Attribute and Sky Attribute Magic! _2

Fortunately, Lord Ivita had previously expanded the Militia Guard of the territory, so there were enough hands. Most of the troublemakers had already been arrested.

By the afternoon, Black Wolf and Rayli returned to the territory. They came to the study to see Ivita, both looking dejected.

Black Wolf said to Ivita, "Your Highness, I met with Viscount Winchester and conveyed your message to him, but he suspected that I was a spy sent by the city council."

"He even tried to silence me permanently. I was lucky to escape."

"They are savages."

"He... he also asked me to pass a message to you. His exact words were..."

Black Wolf said: "His exact words were— ’A three-year-old child is fit to rule? I was curious, but now it is clear that you must have been supported by the whores of the city council. You wait, you will not be able to control the territory with your ability."

Ivita smiled, his eyes cold. "He must have gone mad."

"But I don’t care."

Ivita saw the injuries on Black Wolf and said, reassuring him: "Rest up and heal. I won’t be needing you for the upcoming sea voyage."

"Stay in the territory and keep an eye on it, to prevent Winchester from retaliating against my lands."

"I’ll cover all medical expenses."

Black Wolf was caught between laughter and tears; he could finally rest. "Thank you, Your Highness."

"I believe that the Viscount will pay for his disrespect towards you."

Rayli said something similar. He said to Ivita, "My Lord, the people at the city council told me that all these are trivial matters, that the Thousand-Year Fire is very safe."

"They want to first execute the traitor Viscount Winchester before considering other things. They also told me to find a place to rest."

"But that same night they sent thugs to kill me. I barely escaped with the help of a witch, who claimed to be the apprentice of the Hearthstone Witch. She asked me to pass on her respects to you."

"She said she is trapped there, unable to leave, and hoped that you could welcome her and take her away from Ambros."

Ivita nodded.

She must be the apprentice of the Hearthstone Witch, the mistress of the previous Mortal King of Ambros.

The two envoys he sent out were fortunate. No, it should be said that their reaction abilities were good, which was why they could survive.

Rayli said: "But there’s something I don’t understand. It’s one thing for irresponsible Viscount Winchester to behave rashly, but why did even the people from the city council try to kill us?"

Black Wolf was also puzzled.

Ivita looked at these two who were politically insensitive and immediately deciphered the intentions of both parties.

"Because they do not want to stop the war."

Ivita said to the still confused pair: "Your messages were regarded by them as potential insidious plots and tricks that could force a peace treaty. Even if the Church knew, the Pope and the Cardinal Group would intervene in Ambros’ affairs in a more forceful manner."

"They were terrified, so they wanted to silence you."

Ivita put a hand to his forehead. "I knew revealing the truth to two parties blinded by war wouldn’t work, but I tried out of duty."

"Unfortunately, they didn’t even give themselves a chance."

"Oh well, let this matter rest. I do not wish to inform the Church now, to avoid complicating matters."

Black Wolf and Rayli finally understood. So that’s the reason.

No wonder they were targeted despite their disclosure of the truth about the Thousand-Year Fire.

Ivita said: "Black Wolf and Rayli, you both stay in the territory for the time being and help me guard the territory."

"I have expanded the territory’s troops, built towers and outposts, and have also left the Dragon Palace Magic, Amelia Mirror Spirit, the Water Dragon Soldier endowed with the power of a Gladiator, and the Tide Fishman here. These should provide ample protection for the territory."

"If necessary, I could communicate with you through the Mirror Spirit and even use it as a medium to deploy my power."

"Yes, Lord Ivita (Your Highness)." Both Black Wolf and Rayli bowed their heads. They knew the task of guarding the territory is equally important.

Ivita feared that if his people go out, others may retaliate by attacking his territory.

However, Ivita has also considered this. He now has alliance relationship with Marlinna City, Kappa Town, and the Black Bearman clan of Parviga. Even if there are forces within Ambros who want to attack his territory, they must weigh the cost.

This is the advantage of having allies and forming alliances. It can inflate one’s power several times over, deterring attackers.

Black Wolf, standing behind the desk, said to Ivita: "Your Highness, during the month when I traversed through Ambros to Viscount Winchester’s territory, I realized that our territory’s iron-clad reputation has spread throughout Ambros."

"Your concerns were right. I fear our prosperity will attract the eyes of foolish fanatics."

Ivita nodded. "You both can leave now."

As the two left, Ivita walked to the window, his eyes icy. Viscount Winchester’s words were indeed foolish and unaware, yet they were a direct insult to him.

The city council’s plot alerted Ivita to the fact that Ambros needs a single voice.

His voice.

Ivita looked at the Hearthstone Witch, pretending to be a psychologist on the lawn under the castle, gaining insight into everyone’s thoughts (and secrets), feeling both annoyed and finding Viscount Winchester laughable.
