Chapter 797: Chapter 419: The Empire that is about to Unify the Universal Law_2

Although it is said that territory is the most valuable, in the case of sparse population, the population becomes very important.

The Archbishop Anke, knowing full well that he would not spare the church a penny, was still able to offer such a large benefit, showing that he had his own ideas.

Lord Ivita and Archbishop Anke looked out over the courtyard from a window on the second floor of the castle, where soldiers were training.

Seeing Lord Ivita silent, Archbishop Anke took the initiative to speak to him, "What a pity, if you were in any other era and had conquered so many territories, you would certainly be the object of all nations’ attention."

"But Selzhu - Rome Empire’s aggressive demolition of two kingdoms with a history of over five hundred years and the discovery of the New World continent have dimmed your bright light."

Ivita kept silent in her heart, he most hoped that no one would notice him.

Ivita looked at Archbishop Anke and asked curiously, "Two kingdoms?"

"Which other kingdom was swallowed up by the heretical empire?"

"One kingdom is the kingdom of the King of Ravens." Archbishop Anke said in a deep voice: "The other kingdom is not a kingdom that worships the God of All Things, but rather a heretic’s kingdom that worships the God of All Beasts - the Mamuruk Kingdom."

"The Mamuruk Kingdom was a less extreme heretical state to us, so they traded with us and also located in the commercial trade center of the Eastern Mediterranean. However, this country is now in the hands of Selzhu - Rome Empire. My lord, in other words, the commercial trade in the Mediterranean has been disrupted."

Ivita frowned.

That would definitely affect the trade on Cross Island.

No wonder the pirates were fleeing, this was probably a major reason.

Most of the Mediterranean is now in the hands of Selzhu - Rome Empire.

Archbishop Anke, looking at Ivita, then turned to look at the blue sky outside the window and sighed. "Perhaps we have done something to anger the God of All Things, making God no longer favor us. Since ten years ago when Selzhu - Rome Empire took away the most fertile crescent from the ruins of the Civilization of Fire, they have grown stronger."

"Before, no one expected that it could grow close to the Ancient Civilization..."

"The laws of independent nations they have plundered are over a hundred. The once historic kingdom is only a province under its control, or even just a district."

"It seems that the great navigation is our only way out, everyone is full of hope for the new continent. Speaking of which, Lord Ivita, at least our country doesn’t have to worry about these issues for the time being."

Ivita knew that although there is some coastal sea on the east of Lombardy and Selzhu - Rome Empire’s coastal sea are in the same sea area, that country does not seem to value the navy and only values the army.

This is also a common characteristic of heretic countries.

They prefer to use slave armies, appoint slave bureaucrats, and only value the army. Even if there is navy reform, it is only the personal behavior of a certain monarch, and the next generation monarch cannot inherit their ideas.

The fact proves that even the most powerful dictator, if he fails to win the support of the next generation, his policies will also perish as soon as he dies.

Ivita nodded, without saying a word.

Because he doesn’t need to consider these for the time being, it’s better to secure Ambros first.

...

Lord Ivita and the Hearthstone Witch sorted out their current knowledge of creating the Soul of Darkness and found that to create the Soul of Darkness, a key point is needed, that is, their own past.

And not just their own personal past, but their family’s past.

That would require the help of their ancestors.

However, Ivita realized that if he wanted to create the Soul of Darkness, he had to involve the Alsace Kingdom. It was as if fate had determined that he should return to that kingdom and reclaim everything he had lost.

Although Ivita now has the desire to go to that kingdom and take back what he has lost, he still suppressed his impulsive desires.

Because Alsace Kingdom should be able to mobilize the power of the Witch Marquis level at least, not sure how much of this power that country still has, but it must exist.

Secondly, he also has to consider that if he declares war on the Alsace Kingdom, whether the other party will have allies.

Or rather, if I declare war on the Alsace Kingdom, will I be able to gain allies, allies from other countries, or even allies from within the Alsace Kingdom itself?

Ivita knew that he needed to exercise patience now. He needed to understand the current situation. Therefore, Ivita sent the Knight Robinson, a group of four, to infiltrate the Alsace Kingdom secretly to investigate and to contact any potential friends who might assist him.

Ivita, meanwhile, sought out the Hearthstone Witch, hoping to test the changes in him after gaining control of the Iron Crown Law.

...

On the open ground outside the Iron Crown Castle.

The Hearthstone Witch said to Ivita: "Your Majesty, I would like to test what happens after you have taken control of the law."

Ivita said to the Hearthstone Witch: "Within the confines of this country, I seem to have some sort of immunity to damage."

"Try to attack me with your Fire Magic, and I won’t use the Light Soul to defend myself."

"Okay, be careful." The Hearthstone Witch conjured a fireball in her hand and threw it towards Ivita.

But, the fireball disappeared the moment it touched Ivita.

The Hearthstone Witch looked at Ivita, puzzled.

The fireball was not suppressed and extinguished by a more powerful magic of Ivita, but it extinguished itself as it got close to Ivita.

It was as if Ivita was an insulator to magic.

Ivita held up his hands and looked at them. "Low-level magic is no longer effective against me."

"Try a higher-level spell."

The Hearthstone Witch was stunned. "No wonder so few witches would curse the Master of Law."

She raised her right hand. Immediately, a mysterious concentric circle formed by unknown characters appeared underneath Ivita. The concentric circles exploded with a great force, and subsequently, a Flame Tornado emerged from Ivita’s feet.

However, this fire magic disappeared not long after it appeared, like a flame that was extinguished and began to emit black smoke, and it soon died out.

Ivita looked at his hands which had felt an unusual temperature, "It’s kicking in. Only magic at the level of The Great Witch can affect me now."

"The following tests with magic are unnecessary. I have already estimated the results with the Light Soul. The Great Witch’s magic only performs like a trick on me, only High-Level Witches can truly pose a threat to me."

"Starting from the magic of High-Level Witches, all magic will have half of its power reduced when it’s used on me. It even grants me immunity to mind control and curse-type magic."

Ivita raised an eyebrow, speaking to the Hearthstone Witch, "I estimate the knights would be weakened even further. Monarchs who control the law, even if they are just regular people, can easily kill practitioners at the level of The Great Witch."

"And they are almost entirely immune to being controlled by magic."

"How then, do the Witch Queens use magic to control the monarchs?" blurted the Hearthstone Witch.

"The Witch Queen has controlled her idiot king husband before."

Ivita pursed his lips.

He didn’t know.

Perhaps, when they reach the level of the Witch Queen, their magic is more than just magic.

Ivita said to the Hearthstone Witch, "The knowledge for creating a Soul of Darkness is still insufficient, even with the knowledge you gained studying at Hearthstone Castle. Is there any institution in the Ambros Territory that possesses the knowledge of the Soul of Darkness? Does the Witch’s Tomb have it?"

The Hearthstone Witch immediately said, "The Witch’s Tomb doesn’t have the necessary rank, there’s no way it would contain the method for creating the Soul of Darkness. Ambros is a magic wasteland, there...wait a minute."

"The Ice Witch, the current ruler of the Snow Mountain Law, she may have the relevant knowledge. Snow Mountain Law has always been under the control of witches and is closely related to magic, there might be what we need there."
