Prime Originator-Chapter 973 Temporary Solution

Chapter 973 Temporary Solution

A few breaths into reading the letter, King Lutheran's expression turned gloomy with silent rage.

It was a letter addressed to the Crawford Empire, listed outrageous accusations and demands for the deaths of the Geyser Kingdom's envoys.

It had been stamped with the Geyser Kingdom's royal seal, but King Lutheran had no recollection of writing such a letter.

In fact, King Lutheran would never write such an absurd letter that could potentially spark a war between the two major countries.

The letter was clearly forged.

However, what upset King Lutheran the most wasn't the contents of the letter but the person who used his royal seal to forge the royal letter.

This was treason on the highest level of the kingdom's government!

"I apologize if this letter has caused you any distress or offended you, Queen Elizabeth. This letter was not written by me, nor are the contents of this letter my intentions," King Lutheran said with a sigh.

If King Lutheran had seen the letter without knowing the empire's strength, he would have unwillingly gone along with it to hide the internal problems in the kingdom.

After all, it was true that the Geyser Kingdom was barely holding on against the harmful sunlight, and the World Tree's protection could be their only solution.

However, since King Lutheran had seen the empire's strength, war was the last thing he wanted, more so than ever!

"I have no intention of making an enemy out of the empire, and I do not blame the empire for the ones truly responsible for the deaths of our kingdom's envoys."

"Oh?" Elizabeth raised an eyebrow with interest after noticing King Lutheran's particular choice of words.

"That is to say that you are aware of the people responsible for killing your envoys, King Lutheran?" Elizabeth asked shortly after.

"I do," King Lutheran nodded before adding, "But it's not confirmed."

"There's a group of fanatics that has been causing problems in the kingdom. We call them Demon Worshippers. They worship the demon star as their god and draw power from it, which I still find hard to believe."

"Nevertheless, they've been a real headache. Even if we catch all of them, more will appear. They most likely have a hidden spawn somewhere, but we haven't been able to track it down."

"More importantly, these Demon Worshippers have been converting our people to their religion and may have spread to the empire," King Lutheran mentioned.

"Demon Worshippers, huh?" Elizabeth muttered.

However, she shook her head in the next moment. She did not come to talk about that.

"That matter aside, we haven't finished addressing the problem in this letter. It might not have been your intention, but it is clear that there are high-ranking people in your kingdom wanting to pick a fight with my empire," Elizabeth said with a sharp look.

"Yes, and it saddens me that they would resort to this method behind me," King Lutheran replied with a sigh.

King Lutheran already had a suspect in mind when he saw the forged letter stamped with his royal seal.

His blood brother, Duke Flugerd, had sided with the extremist faction during the high-level meeting a few days ago.

"I understand their discontent, but I am helpless to resolve it. The Cataclysm has made everyone hide under the water dome like a turtle tucked in its shell, making it no different from a cage," King Lutheran mentioned.

"Although the water domes protect most people from the cataclysmic sunrays, the Transcendents, who are closer in touch with the laws, are still mildly affected by the unknown law empowering the sunrays."

"Furthermore, it's getting worse by the day. If there's another powerful wave from the Cataclysm, it's hard to fathom what it will do to everyone. If you have any solution to remedy this situation, I am all ears, Queen Elizabeth."

"Heck, I am even willing to pay a high price if there is a solution to my kingdom's problem," King Lutheran added.

"A permanent solution, I do not have. The World Tree will eventually bless the whole world. But until there, everyone can only endure," Elizabeth stated.

King Lutheran felt disappointed after hearing that.

However, Elizabeth wasn't finished speaking. She suddenly added, "Although It won't resolve the immediate problem, I did bring something that could ease it."

Shortly after, Elizabeth took out a black plate with runic engravings and a crystal orb embedded in its center before handing it over for King Lutheran to check it out.

"This is…?" King Lutheran furrowed his brows.

He didn't understand what the enchanted black plate was used for, but he could sense the foul energy stored inside the crystal orb.

It was the same foul energy plaguing the world, Wrathful Demon Energy.

"It's a called a Demon Gathering Array," Elizabeth stated.

"Of course, it's only a miniature version of what we have back in the empire. I trust the Geyser Kingdom will have its own capable runemasters who can replicate the Demon Gather Array after studying it."

"As the name implies, the Demon Gathering Array will collect the demonic energy in its surrounding atmosphere and compress it inside. We use this back in the empire to collect the Wrathful Demon Energy areas unprotected by the World Tree," Elizabeth explained.

"What?"

King Lutheran's hands trembled as he held onto the black plate and stared at it seriously like he was looking at a priceless treasure.

However, King Lutheran suddenly furrowed his brows in the next moment.

"Are you saying that even if we remove all the Wrathful Demon Energy in the atmosphere with something like this, we still can't eliminate the problem?" King Lutheran understood from Elizabeth's words.

"Isn't that obvious?" Elizabeth casually replied.

"Even if you remove water from a flooded region, the ground would still be wet. In other words, even if we remove the Wrathful Demon Energy from a region, the region will still be affected by the Wrath Law."

"Wherever the sunlight touch is the domain of the Wrath Law. Unless we remove the source of the Wrath Law, the world will continue to be influenced by the Wrath Law," Elizabeth stated.
