Chapter 444: Chapter 268: The Brand-New Path of the Official Wizard and the World Grand Scheme in the Eyes of the Druids!_2

"In the end, the fragment still appeared in front of us automatically. Our luck is just too good. After escaping from the ill-fated star, our fortune seems to have been improving continuously."

The Lion King shook his mane, and suddenly the flowers and trees around him started to bloom, the powerful energy revealed by the Lion King even brought forth new life within these plants - fairies, both males and females, small in size but elegant.

As soon as these fairies were born, they laughingly flew in all directions.

This is the effect produced by the eternal spell, [Eternal God’s Summer], inherent to the Lion King.

The Lion King spoke, "Everything rebounds after hitting rock bottom. Any magic requires a price to be paid and carries corresponding risks. After the Queen of Stars cast a disastrous star upon us, although we had bad luck for a whole thousand years."

"The result is, after surviving the previous seven druidic crises, our luck, which had been missing for over a thousand years, is continually returning. In this way, we have effectively doubled our luck over the same period."

"So... we have already found our conference ring quite smoothly. Ten owners were determined a thousand years ago..."

The Lion King hesitated for a moment, unsure if it was correct to say this, because there had actually been a minor problem, but based on the current situation, this minor problem might be a blessing for Druids.

The Lion King said, "One of our ring bearers entered the Directionless Sea in the Black Sea. He broke through the traps and concealment of Demon King Tormund and brought the fragments back to us."

"We have three people to thank for this automatic return of the fragments."

"The first is Marco Anson. Over sixty years ago, he created the Seven Seas Law Code. His actions of moving islands and various waters to the Black Sea inadvertently exposed a flaw in Tormund’s concealment."

"The second person is a native witch on Volcano Island in the Directionless Sea. Although she is a witch, she accidentally used our fragment to create a life of witchcraft. This further exposed a flaw in Tormund’s plan."

"The third person is our ring bearer Ivita Alsace, now known as Ivita Augustus."

"While he was colonizing Volcano Island, he killed that life of witchcraft. Although the Directionless Sea blocked our druidic power, the conference ring in his hand detected the fragments. Because of this, we were able to retrieve what we had lost."

The members of the Druid Council looked at each other in surprise.

"It’s him. I’ve heard about his affairs a few times before, and I knew then that he was extraordinary."

"Does this mean the Alsace Kingdom may support us Druids now? Can we obtain the fifth crown of the kingdom?"

"That’s not likely. His kingship has been forcibly taken by others, he himself is unable to reclaim the crown, and our reputation is too tarnished to help him. The international system of the Dark Magic Forest is still based on the Papal Country’s Holy International and the Holy Gold Rose Empire’s imperial system, these two dual systems."

"If we help Ivita, our ring bearer, given our reputation, it may result in him facing sieges from the entire continent."

A cheetah wearing a silver mask laughed inappropriately. "The situation in the Magic Black Forest is quite chaotic now. I think we can provide some minor support to our ten ring bearers."

"Support that won’t be noticed and cause significant trouble, this way, we can also repay the help that the ring bearer Ivita offered us this time."

"The current situation in the Magic Black Forest is —"

"The Papal Country has been trying to absorb all the other nations into a holy empire of one lord above and below through the faith of the Church."

"Although the Gold Rose Empire is an existent Empire, it is one in name only, far too diffuse. The conflict between imperial power and ecclesiastical authority is inevitable."

"The Frankish people to the west want to break out of the current international system and create an international system of their own."

"Only an empire can create an international system unique to oneself and all the countries around."

"Those who cannot do this cannot indeed be called an empire."

"The Frankish people want to prove that the king of Frank and the Emperor of the Holy Gold Rose Empire are on the same level."

"And the north, occupied by the Champagne and Brandy United Kingdom on three islands, hopes to be hailed as the King of the Sea, boosting its own value. They also aspire to construct an international system of their own."

"To the furthest east, the Duchy of Tevryl is rising. They believe that they themselves are the inheritors of ancient civilization, they are the legitimate successors of the empire and civilization, and think their capital, Tevryl, is the third Eternal City."

"Another country that wants to build its own international system."

The cheetah laughs heartily. "There is internal chaos among them, and no shortage of ambitious individuals. But across the sea from the Magic Black Forest, where most of the land is desert, the Selzhu-Rome Sultanate, which worships the God of All Beasts, is on the rise, with its national power almost reaching the level of civilization."

"The Selzhu—Rome Sultanate is an exception of this age, the empire most likely to reach civilized status."

"In the further eastern region, where the Civilization of Fire original territory lies, a great transformation is occurring. Perhaps the Civilization of Fire will be reborn in a different way."

"And on the prairie, the Golden Khanate, after suffering defeat for five hundred years, seems to have once again gained strength."

"At the end of the day, the various wars which have taken place since the disappearance of the ancient civilization—the Time War, the Civilizational Shattering War, the Great Conquest War of the God of All Beasts, and the Khan Invasion War—have left the nations of the Magic Black Forest and the countries scattered under the various civilizations in a state of extreme weakness."

"Now, after centuries of recuperation, the power of the nations scattered under various civilization blocks is finally filling up again."

"A period of great change and struggle is coming."

"The order that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years could be completely transformed in a short period of time."

"The simultaneous appearance of the six Emperor Stars is the best proof. Although we still do not know which six individuals the six Emperor Stars represented."

As the cheetah spoke, the members of the Druid Council nodded in agreement, indicating that they, as Druids, did not want to miss the opportunity for the order to undergo major changes in a short period of time.

The Lion King, noticing the opinions of these council members, looked at Pan, who had been silent all the time. "Pan, keep trying to get in touch with Ivita. After all, you haven’t solved the issue of the Son of the Forest and still have something to do with Ivita."

"Besides, I will send an Old Treant into his forces as a kind of advance investment from us Druids."

The Lion King assessed the current scale of Ivita’s power and, considering Ivita’s help to the Druids, made a relatively reasonable investment.

After all, in the Lion King’s view, Ivita’s current power is still too small to be taken seriously and invested in."

The Lion King said to Pan: "There are a few people you should pay attention to. Knight Gastrot is the illegitimate child of the Earl of Jylland in the Northern Viking Kingdom. That earl has no children. You arrange for him to inherit that earl’s territory."

"If necessary, poison that old earl. He has colluded with a witch to prolong his life and has killed dozens of young girls with witchcraft. He bathes and soaks in the blood of young girls. He is unfit to be a human."

"Also, those four kingdom princes who are ring bearers, you should focus on helping them. As it stands, they are the four top priority investment targets among the ten ring bearers."

"The sons of the two marquises and that duke’s son are second-tier investment targets."

"The rest of them are all roughly the same."

Seeing the Lion King ranking Ivita last, Pan’s eyes flickered. He wanted to say something but thought better of it and kept quiet.

Pan had a different ranking in mind.

The Lion King said to Pan, "Also, as the captain of one of the seven legendary ships in the pirate world, you should keep an eye on the Black Sea. Don’t forget, there’s an entrance there to the Forgotten Islands on the edge of this world."

"Don’t let the City-States or the Church discover it."

"My old friend, the undefeated Peter."
