Chapter 794: Chapter 418: The Obsidian Empire and the Primitive Law_1

"No, Mr. Sword Saint, you are mistaken." said Ivita casually. "Is Mr. Duravin preparing to return to the Empire?"

Duravin glanced at Ivita, looking somewhat unhappy. If it were not for the Old Sword Saint’s deliberate glance at him, Duravin might have ignored Ivita’s question.

But the Empire’s Old Sword Saint was not so foolish.

Even if nothing else is considered, merely being in the Lombardy Duchy required them to be humble. The strong dragon couldn’t crush the local snake. Even though their status was nominally higher than the vassals of the Empire’s peripheral areas, if they were killed here by the King of the Ancient Tomb as ordered, where could they take Ivita’s crimes to court?

Duravin replied to Ivita in a low voice: "Indeed. Since I did not obtain the Iron Crown, I must return to the palace of the Empire."

"To report everything that has happened here to the Emperor."

The Old Sword Saint frowned, feeling that Duravin was rude to Ivita. He explained in a low voice, "Lord Ivita, you may not be aware of something. When we were in the Lombardy Duchy, dealing with matters related to the succession, the Rome Sear Empire attacked the capital of the Empire. They only failed."

"Originally, the Empire sent us here hoping to use the wealth of the Iron Crown to help the Empire better combat the heretics. However, it seems now that we can only rely on the support of the Church and other countries."

"Haha...."

Ivita glanced at the Old Sword Saint of the Empire. Although his explanation was simple, it must have been a horrific bloodbath.

The Holy Gold Rose Empire probably wanted to control the Iron Crown and loot this country to obtain enough resources to wage war against the heretics.

Alas, his plan was thwarted by Ivita.

After the banquet with the Iron Crown heirs, everyone returned to their duties. Some began to write letters to their families, asking for resources to settle here, while others began preparations to return home.

No matter the result, the grand contest of the Iron Crown heirs had come to an end.

Ivita prepared for his identity to be exposed to the monarchs of various countries, got ready to face the world, and began to rally his forces to invade Ambros and seize the Grand Viscount Nation.

In doing so, he would possess the power of three independent nations.

Patching things up, he would be a rather powerful lord within the Empire.

Ivita also issued an edict for settlement, calling upon the priests and nobles of the Magic Black Forest to come to Lombardy and colonize the land.

Besides, he invited Church officials to send figures of a Red Bishop rank or higher to crown him.

Despite having officially become the monarch of the Iron Crown after obtaining the law, the international structure of the Magic Black Forest was based on the Holy Kingdom Alliance centered around the Church and the system of vassal countries in the Empire. By gaining recognition from the Church and forcing the Gold Rose Empire to accept his legitimate right to rule through fait accompli, Ivita could firmly secure his position as the monarch of Lombardy.

Having prepared everything, the next morning, Ivita, accompanied by the Hearthstone Witch, went to the basement of the castle. They saw the King of the Ancient Tomb standing alone in the basement prison, motionless with his eyes wide open.

Only when Ivita descended into the basement did the King of the Ancient Tomb’s eyes move slightly.

Even though Ivita had significantly weakened him, the King of the Ancient Tomb still possessed an Immortal Body, the physique of a Marquis Knight, and magical powers close to those of a Witch Marquis, after the weakening.

He remained the most terrifying existence in this country, an unpredictable factor.

Seeing the King of the Ancient Tomb, the Hearthstone Witch felt a little scared and hid behind Ivita, refusing to go ahead of him.

Seeing that the King of the Ancient Tomb did not speak, Ivita said, "I have temporarily released the Iron Crown, and so the lives and deaths of the people in this country. Now, people in this country can choose to die without needing my approval. But I haven’t fully figured out how I will rule this country."

The King of the Ancient Tomb looked at Ivita in surprise. "You are weakening your ruling foundation."

"On the contrary, I am strengthening it." Ivita sincerely said, "The past Iron Crown has shown us the outcome of binding all beings with law - when the kings died, the people of this country also died."

"The country was weak and primitive, its thoughts could not be liberated, and even though it had a sufficient population, the country and its people remained weak."

"Most of the country’s power was once used to suppress its own people."

"And now I have freed that power and given freedom back to every creature in this country." Ivita said, "But this does not mean that my power has been weakened. In fact, allowing everyone to only listen to one person’s orders, an absolute obedience to one person’s command is a complete failure. A slight mishap can lead to everyone’s death along with that one person."

The King of the Ancient Tomb’s eyes twinkled.

Was not his zombie army a small version of the Iron Crown society? Now that he was being threatened by Ivita with his heart, even his zombie army ended up in Ivita’s hands.

It seemed that tying all people to one person was the greatest selfishness.

In the end, the King of the Ancient Tomb turned his head and looked at Ivita. He said softly, "Then I believe you will be a different kind of monarch from the previous Iron Crown. You better figure out how to rule this country quickly. Because the other countries will not give you much time."
