The witch thought I am a Demon God

The emperor actually admitted it on the spot.

This surprised the Holy Wizard and Duke Gugel. The emperor admitted that attacking the vassal states was a very bad behavior.

Enough to start a war.

Ivita looked at Emperor Oyo III and nodded. "Really? That's it, let's go."

Ivita and the Hearthstone Witch transformed into dragon eagles and vultures and left here quickly.

The six holy wizards looked at Ivita's magical power, which may even exceed their peak period, and sighed.

"I didn't expect that such a powerful wizard would appear in this world. It seems that we are all old."

"I don't know how the emperor will respond, but what does this have to do with us. Let's see who will win in the end, between him and the emperor."

…

After leaving the territory of the Holy Empire, Ivita and the Hearthstone Witch settled in a remote village in Alsace. The Hearthstone Witch saw that Ivita was silent and thought he was very angry.

"Your Majesty, the emperor openly assassinated the subordinates of the princes. We must make him pay the price." Hearthstone Witch said. "But fortunately, he admitted it. As long as he admits it, it will be easier for us to deal with it. Your Majesty, I will assassinate whoever you want me to assassinate."

Ivita glanced at the Hearthstone Witch and shook her head slightly. "The emperor's admission is actually not a good thing. I originally thought he could deny it."

"To be honest, I have to deal with the emperor afterwards anyway, so it doesn't really matter whether he did it or not. But what is important is that he actually admitted to this major assassination when the Frankish Kingdom launched a full-scale invasion. He led it."

Iveta pinched her nose with a headache. "Many things, as long as we don't tell the truth, can be smoothed over and delayed for a while, and then solved later, but him admitting it so categorically really puts me in a difficult position."

"Am I going to work with the Frankish Kingdom to deal with him now?"

"Others drive wolves to devour tigers, but I cannot drive tigers to devour wolves."

The Hearthstone Witch also realized the seriousness of the matter, "I didn't expect that revenge would be so complicated."

Ivita said: "If we are just individuals, it doesn't matter what we like or hate, but our words and deeds determine the life and death of tens of millions of people, so we can't just follow our own emotions."

"This incident does make me angry, but I have already controlled my emotions. But we may really need to exact equal revenge on the emperor..."

"Wait..." Ivita suddenly seemed to remember something. "Wait a minute, this thing may indeed be done by the emperor, but it may also be done by the Frankish Kingdom at the same time. If so, the emperor will admit that he is the mastermind behind it, and it will be understandable. Because this is indeed what he did. The command."

"Hearthstone Witch, return to the Royal Capital immediately and ask our intelligence chief to investigate the connection between the Frankish Kingdom and these assassins."

Ivita tried divination and found that when he divined whether the Frankish Kingdom was related to these assassins, he encountered some kind of occult obstruction, which resulted in two divination results, one was that there was a relationship, and the other was that there was no relationship. .

The Frankish Kingdom actually hired a fortune teller to preventively confuse the divination results on this matter.

It can be seen that this matter is not as simple as it seems.

One day later, the results came out. Although the Frankish Kingdom tried its best to hide its traces, it was still found out that they had been in contact with the assassins.

So now the result is obvious. The emperor did issue an order to assassinate various ministers in the capital of Alsace, but with his preparation, he could not do such a big damage. It was Louis XI of the Frankish Kingdom who was behind it and helped. After giving him a blow, he systematically assassinated the nobles in the Alsace Council Hall.

This caused real problems in the administrative operations of Alsace.

The Hearthstone Witch looked at Ivita and said: "According to what we found out, most of the assassins who appeared in the royal city before were all the emperor's people, but among them were assassins raised by the Frankish Kingdom. Your Majesty, we want to announce the truth. Or are you just slandering the emperor?"

Ivita nodded.

Only one country can take the blame for an incident, not more than one.

You must choose a target as the target of legal revenge.

In other words, you can identify it as the Emperor of the Holy Empire and make the Emperor pay the price through the Imperial Parliament and other methods; but you can also announce the truth and re-identify your temporary enemy as the Frankish Kingdom.

‘This conspiracy of the Frank Kingdom can be seen through as long as I am careful. Does the other party just want to take a gamble? ’

'but……'

Ivita thought about it, but now combined with the prophecy, it seems certain that Oyo III is her potential temporary ally, and the Frankish Kingdom is her enemy hiding behind it.

He was about to speak when he suddenly heard the hurried footsteps of a servant outside his chamber. The servant gasped and saluted, and said to Ivita: "Your Majesty, there is a Frankish envoy riding a horse that can travel thousands of miles in a day. BMW is here to give you three gifts.”

The Hearthstone Witch's ears twitched when she heard the treasure. "What's going on? Have those Franks tried to change their behavior?"

"You actually want to offer treasures to Your Majesty. It's a bit late to please us now."

Ivita was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "This is not to please, but to set a trap for me."

"I just know that the other party's plan will not end like this."

"Then let the Frank come in. There is no need to arrange a special guard. They can't hurt me. Even if there are some means prepared to deal with me, isn't it because the Hearthstone Witch is by my side."

Soon, Frank's envoy led a white-fronted horse and walked into the meeting hall. He curiously scanned the meeting hall in the Alsace Palace and was surprised to find that the level of luxury here was comparable to that of the Frankish Empire's palace. , just slightly inferior.

In fact, this is normal. Alsace was originally the most powerful secular elector. In addition, the previous two false kings who usurped the throne loved luxury. Of course, the meeting hall was built as a face-saving project.

The Frankish envoy did not salute Ivita, but bowed and nodded arrogantly. As the Frankish Kingdom claimed to be an empire, its people became more and more proud, thinking that they were the smartest and best nation in the world, and regarded other nations as inferior. And other races.

"Dear King of Alsace, I come on behalf of the Emperor of the Frankish people of our empire. The People's Emperor expresses his sincere sincerity to you. He believes that now that the coalition of the United Kingdom and the Empire has gone bankrupt, a wise king like you should stand On the right footing.”

"So let me offer you three treasures."

The Hearthstone Witch who was sitting on the small seat next to Ivita's throne quickly stood up and said to Frank's envoy greedily: "Then what kind of gift are you going to offer?"

"What will the People's Emperor's gift look like?"

Ivita sneered. "If you are the so-called emperor of the people - these two words are put together, I feel that there is a language problem. If the monarch of your country wants to persuade me to help him attack the Holy Empire, then please stop talking, lest you Let us put down our face and make it impossible for you to go back today."

The Frankish envoy's face twitched, "If the two countries are at war... you can't kill the envoy."

He was really afraid that the young king of Alsace would directly kill him, so he quickly said: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. Please listen to me, this is the first gift given to you by the people's emperor, Wanli Horse [Zar]. This horse comes from the United Kingdom and was later captured by our outstanding Franks officers. It is said that this magical horse comes from the overseas New World. In the eyes of the local indigenous people, it is a mythical beast that created an island in the river."

"Having the feeling of a foreign country."

"Amazing legends of the ancient natives..."

The messenger took down the granite idol on horseback. "This is also the body of a strange evil god named [Black Third Brother] in the new world. People who hold this strange idol will become infinitely powerful, and their wounds can be healed in a very short period of time. The only flaw is , this thing likes to suck blood.”

"But I dare to assure your majesty that the more blood this thing sucks, the more powerful it will be."

Iveta looked at him coldly. The size of the gift was okay. It could be seen that it was a carefully prepared precious gift, but in fact it meant perfunctory and contemptuous. Both of these things were colonial specialties produced in the New World. It may be okay to give as a gift to friends or distinguished guests, but it is somewhat unsightly to put on such an occasion.

Occasions such as this are often gifted with products from the Dark Forest itself.

The Hearthstone Witch looked at Ivita and did not dare to accept these gifts privately.

There are no big nobles from Alsace currently stationed in the meeting hall. Only some small nobles who maintain the meeting hall are here. At this moment, they all show disgust and hatred towards the Frankish envoys.

The Frankish envoy waited for a while and said with some embarrassment: "The third gift is better than the first two gifts, much better. These are three counts, a marquis and a marquis of Alsace bordering the Empire. A map of a principality.”

The Frankish envoy unfolded the map. "No amount of gifts can be as generous as this one."

"How many treasures will this land carry?"

"His Majesty Louis XI now gives you these maps."

The presentation of a map on such an occasion generally meant the offering of this part of the territory, representing a generous gift.

But now things are strange.

Ivita had a strange expression on her face. Not only that, but even the always greedy Hearthstone Witch and a group of minor nobles were stunned.

Facing the Frankish envoy who was waiting for a response, the Hearthstone Witch shook her head in disbelief and said: "What do you mean? What is the relationship between these five countries and the Frankish Kingdom? I have never heard that you jointly rule these five countries? You Why are you offering their maps here??”

The Frankish envoy was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he opened his arms and said extremely excitedly: "On behalf of the Frankish Emperor, I present to Your Majesty the five territories on the map. Our Frankish Emperor will recognize these five territories as yours. Help you expand Alsace and make the Kingdom of Alsace the most powerful and the most extensive kingdom in the empire."

"As we all know, the Emperor Oyo III of the Holy Empire has been trying to infringe on your legitimate interests. And you have repeatedly tolerated it, but the other party will only take advantage of it."

“You just switch sides and you get these lands.”

Ivita looked strange.

He had long guessed that the Franks were more shameless in their actions, but he did not expect Louis XI to be so shameless.

If you want to divide the world between the two countries, just five territories would be stingy, but if you really want to give yourself five territories, then at least let these territories be in Frank's hands temporarily.

The Hearthstone witches laughed in anger.

"Are you kidding me, the emperor of your country? If you want to trade territories, the controllers of these territories are obviously Emperor Oyo III and the actual king. The emperor of your people likes to use other people's things as a trade. Conditions?"

The Frankish envoy became serious. "That's not what you say. In fact, these five territories are just appetizers. Our empire is planning to establish a confederal country called the Rhine Confederation between the empire and the superficial Holy Empire."

"These five countries are regarded as the territory of Alsace, and the small countries outside these five countries will form a confederation independent of the empire."

Ivita understood that the other party wanted to split the Holy Empire, move the Holy Empire towards a part of the Frankish Kingdom, become independent and establish a new confederal organization, thereby reducing the legitimacy of the Holy Empire.

This is indeed a poisonous scheme.

It was possible to weaken the Holy Empire without confronting the electors and emperors. There were quite a few talented people around Louis XI.

Especially when the other party wants to draw him into the game.

Iveta said: "We were at war not long ago, and even now."

The Frankish envoy said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be burdened. Things like allies will change with the passage of time. Every monarch must consider the interests of his own country, so changing allies is a normal thing. Regardless of Whether it’s Oyo III or the United Kingdom, their political leanings and alliances have changed countless times.”

"The key is that you have a fundamental conflict with Emperor Oyo III, but you have no fundamental conflict with our Frankish emperor. With our alliance, Alsace will be stronger, but with the empire, we will not When the empire's side was defeated, it was a victory, and what happened was the beginning of Oyo III's invasion of Alsace."

Ivita did not speak. This was indeed a possibility, but after all, the future is something that has not happened. If we only look at the possibility, then everything is possible.

But what the other person says is also a way of thinking.

A middle-ranking noble finally couldn't help it and said angrily: "What about the Black Death Lord? Just throw that big garbage into the Black Magic Forest and ignore it."

Ivita coughed, and the nobleman immediately bowed his head and stepped back, knowing that he had overstepped his bounds.

The Franks' envoy said to Ivita: "Your Majesty, that is just a temporary measure. We Franks are absolutely sure that we can deal with the Black Death King after completing our goal."
