Chapter 605: Chapter 337 Siege Network and Territory Disaster Punishment_2

Now, his own domain is equivalent to the breadth of six and a half viscount territories.

In this era, the living space throughout a common person’s life is just between a few villages, let alone the vast range of his territory now.

The Blue Illusion Witch said to Ivita: "To associate the already existing elements in nature with one’s magic requires a tremendous amount of magic power, therefore the stronger the magic power of a witch, the greater the objects that can be associated with."

"Moreover, the stronger the associated target is, the more sacrifices are needed, and the higher the failure rate of the ceremony is."

"In the Dark Magic Forest, the sun and the moon are different from ordinary stars, they are the most special."

"The moon is the domain of the Full Moon Queen. The Full Moon Queen’s Magic Tide of the Moon can even affect the magic power of the whole world causing a magic tide. She is also the main power source of the Dark Night Clan. In many magic practices, they are related to a full moon."

"As for the sun..."

The Blue Illusion Witch whispered: "There’s unconfirmed rumors saying: The Alien Flora’s origin is the sun. A long, long time ago, when the conqueror Shaw of the Ancient Civilization was about to die, he was unwilling to die."

"He wanted people to stop the whole world, even the time outside the world, at a certain moment, with this, everything would stop, allowing him to live forever. He ordered people to hold the sun, keeping it from setting forever, so that time would stop."

"He ordered people to use the Ice of Eternity, an ice that can’t be melted even at high temperatures, to create a rope for connecting the sky and earth, and then send people to tie the sun with this rope, restraining it just like restraining livestock from moving in the fields."

"Of course, the sun struggled to break free. In the ensuing struggle, thousands of magical plants erupted from the sun and fell onto the Earth. After those plants fell onto the Earth, they quickly became one with the Earth. Conqueror Shaw was furious, he thought that those plants, and everything they represented, would completely destroy the Holy Empire and everything the Holy Empire stood for."

"Conqueror Shaw ordered the empire’s army and civilians to destroy those plants at all costs."

"In that catastrophe, most of the alien flora were destroyed. Only a small fraction of them were collected in the capital of the empire - the throne of St. Peter where The Church now resides, because of their exceptional beauty and ornamental value."

Ivita was anxious to know what happened next. "What happened then?"

The Blue Illusion Witch lowered her head and shook it slightly. "My dear lord, that’s just a legend. I’m just explaining the specialties of the sun and the moon. After all, legends are just legends, so it’s not surprising that they contradict reality."

"According to the legend, it contradicts the fact that alien flora are now found everywhere."

Ivita nodded in agreement. "Now I understand."

If what the scroll said about the Frog Princess’s territory and grafting ceremony rituals was true, only the Witch Queen could achieve such an incredible feat of linking her magic to a territory larger than a viscount’s.

That is to say, sixty years ago, not only the Wallachia Duchy and Pearl Tooth Kingdom were involved in this matter, even the Witch Queen had also intervened.

But which Witch Queen was it?

...

Three days later, in the castle in Viscount Josè’s Territory, Ivita was having a conversation with housekeeper Joe Joseph. The housekeeper handed over the report Ivita had asked him to investigate - which region had the most people disappear in the last sixty years.

Housekeeper Joe Joseph looked at Ivita bewildered. "The current investigation is still rough. If we could publish a task and get cooperation from civilians and explorers, it would be more accurate."

Ivita shook his head, "It’s enough for now, I don’t want too many people involved in this."

He glanced at the disappearance statistics of Cross Island and was speechless. After all, on this evil island, people’s disappearance is a common occurrence!

Basically, each disappearance implies a murder.

With thousands of people disappearing everywhere every year, it’s impossible to see where the most people have disappeared.

Ivita furrowed his brows. Although this was largely due to the commonplace nature of murders on Cross Island, it couldn’t be ruled out that someone was deliberately manipulating things.

Wait a moment...

Ivita looked at Thunder Fang Cliff on the map. It was a wasteland known for its constant thunderstorms, hence the name.

But the disappearance rate here was only slightly lower than that in densely populated areas.

There was a problem here.

Ivita’s spirit shuddered.

The Frog Princess and her missing domain might be around Thunder Fang Cliff. But, that territory wasn’t his.

If it’s not his territory, it would be troublesome for him to bring large groups of people in and out.

That place was...

After some thought, Ivita found that, coincidently, the territory belonged to Viscount Ice Wolf, who had been aggressing his lands recently, wanting to plunder population and parts of peripheral territories.

The triumphant sound of a flute came from outside the castle.

Ivita was startled. Housekeeper Joe Joseph hurriedly ran to the window, lifted the iris-flower decorated curtain to look outside, and then turned to Ivita and announced, "Congratulations, my lord. Your Iron Mountain Knights are returning, leading horses that are pulling carriages."

"The horse is pulling a prison carriage, and inside the carriage is the captured Viscount Ice Wolf."
