Chapter 590: Chapter 333: The Eastern Empire, the Eastern Witch Zinobia!_3

"Moreover, this puppet said that we’re barbarians? It obviously misidentified us."

Wind Bone Granny bent over to dismantle the remnants of the Guardian, intending to extract the core from it. "The civilized world is the human world, and the human world is the world of the Ancient Civilization. A Empire, an Emperor, a god, a Wisdom Race, that is the Ancient Civilization."

"The Duke mentioned that according to the knowledge he gained from his family’s collection of books, the Ancient Civilization was the only truly universal empire in human history."

"We don’t look like the people of Ancient Civilization at all, so naturally, we are considered barbarians in the puppet’s eyes. Such an arrogant standard."

Wind Bone Granny sneakily glanced at Ivita behind her, "This arrogance is just like a certain Great Lord who judged people as primitives and barbarians when he first met them."

Ivita weakly said, "Can you remove the last two words?"

"By the way, Wind Bone Granny, what is your strength possibly?"

Wind Bone Granny shook her head, "I don’t know my own strength because I haven’t had a serious fight with anyone since my longevity surgery. At least in the swamp, no one has ever made me use more than a third of my strength. Most of the time, I barely exert effort, and they all end up on the ground."

"Even those Dragon-Veined Lizardmen are just a pipe away."

Ivita fell silent. Even a formal Knight might not be able to handle a Dragon-Veined Lizardman with a single strike.

In other words, Wind Bone Granny’s strength was at least third level, or maybe even higher because she said she never went all out.

Ivita felt relieved that he hadn’t used force against the Longhair Tribe, it showed that intimidating them was the right move.

If a real conflict broke out, he might not come out on top, losing face as a Lord for no reason.

As a ruler, face is quite important.

Wind Bone Granny picked up a perfectly round bronze sphere, engraved with mysterious characters that shimmered with a blue glow.

She then took out another perfectly round bronze sphere from the bag she always carried, engraved with mysterious characters that shimmered with a bright red glow. "This is the bronze core of the Defender of Fire, and this is the bronze core of the Guardian of Thunder."

"Although I don’t understand the principles behind them, when they will activate, a voice will explain that they are for the wizards and previously, in the Ancient Civilization Period, only the military wizards and witches of the Ancient Civilization were allowed to use them."

The moment Ivita touched the two bronze cores, he instantly felt an enormous power at his fingertips. At the same time, a voice came from within the cave world.

’Ah, congratulations to you, the guest who entered the cave world. You have defeated the Guardian and won the gladiatorial victory.’

’The ancient core is the work of an outstanding witch from our Holy Empire, meant to limit the damage witches and wizards might cause to the empire. It became a part of the equipment of auxiliary troops of the empire, non-foreign legion. Its creator— Luria Aurelia Zinobia told us that it will help the empire to endure the terrible Dark Age.’

’But the outcome... was a shameful betrayal and exploitation. Zinobia used the resources we gave her to complete her research on the ancient core. She split our empire and declared herself the Eastern Queen, demanding our submission. The foolish queen paid with blood. Bound with golden chains, once a queen, always a queen, it is a courtesy reserved for monarchs.’

’However, these tampered ancient core puppets could only be left behind in this research institution to live and die on their own. This institution was built when the Empire discovered a vast source of spiritual power under the swamp, the remains of a reptile dragon species from the Ancient Dragon Era. One of our accomplishments was the cultivation of the Corpse Dragon Devil Tuber using the abundant negative energy.

"Similar research institutions exist around the world."

"Before the catastrophe of the ’Final Day’, we reset all devices in the research institution so that visitors could receive the gifts left by our empire.’

’We assumed two situations—’

’1. The Law of Empire has shattered, and the Empire vanished. Hence, those who come after us can receive our gifts and leave, knowing we withstood until the end.’

’The ancient core designed by Luria Aurelia Zinobia combined the technology of sunken ancient city Gomorrah in the Mediterranean and magic. If you are a wizard or witch, you can use them by placing them into the Spiral Tower in the spiritual world.’

’2. If part of the Empire survived, albeit at a very low probability, and at an even lower probability that some remnants of the Empire found this research institution, please take a message back to the remaining empire after you leave: ’We may have mistaken the real enemy. Our research here uncovered the end of the Ancient Dragon Era. The dormant reptiles from the Ancient Dragon Era buried in this swamp possess a force beyond our understanding. Since every fossilized body has this force, and this force clearly covered these reptiles in an instant, we have every reason to suspect, we might have found the hypothesized ’it’.’
