Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 514 - 302: Tulip King: How Come I Didn’t Know My Kingdom Was This Awesome? (Part 2)

"Alright, let’s discuss this when we get back!"

Count Engel didn’t pay attention to his eldest son’s doubts and quickly spoke up.

As his words fell, the entire Dressrosa Family no longer hesitated and swiftly moved toward their station.

Soon, other gathered families did the same, but many families still remained in the clearing. Those who had once despaired found hope reignited after the appearance of Count Engel and Thor, anticipating a miracle to occur.

But they were destined to be disappointed.

Due to the isolation of the Divine Ruins, Thor and others were almost the last group to be reached.

Even if there were other nobles, they might not necessarily be from the Tulip Kingdom.

Most of them were destined to despair.

In these circumstances, some held their ground, while others began seeking retreat routes.

But none of this mattered to Thor, Count Engel, or the Dressrosa Family any longer.

Their group headed toward the exit of the square.

However, to leave this square, they needed to turn in the Law Fragments they collected.

The entire square was enveloped in a dense magical glow, making it almost impossible to take the Law Fragments away.

Fortunately, neither Count Engel nor Thor intended to take the Law Fragments. The fragments they could use had already been used, and the leftover fragments would be hard to make use of even if taken; after all, only a few could absorb the Power of Laws.

Moreover, Law Fragments are difficult to preserve; in the Exotic World, they are clearly bound in order to materialize. Once they leave the Exotic World, unused Law Fragments will dissipate quickly.

Compared to that, it’s better to exchange them for merit points.

Although Law Fragments can only be traded for kingdom merit points, they still hold significant value for a family.

They can not only elevate a noble’s rank but also be exchanged for various resources.

For example, High-Level Life Potions to advance to Sky Knight, Fruit of Life, or mage legacies.

Even admissions to Canaan Academy can be acquired with kingdom merit points.

At the end of the square.

A gigantic Light Gate appeared.

Thor exchanged a few words with Carlo and others.

Then, the figures participating in the Kingdom War stepped into it one by one.

And upon entering,

Thor felt a blur before his eyes.

The next moment, he found himself in a vast white world.

In this white world, a massive light sphere stood, with a robust knight standing in front of it.

"Just throw the Law Fragments into the Magic Ball!"

A deep voice echoed.

"Alright!"

Thor nodded, waved his hand, and several Law Fragments appeared before him.

Though he had given most of the Law Fragments to his father, he still had some left.

They appeared now and were quickly absorbed into the Magic Light Ball.

"Alright, you can go now!"

"The kingdom will conduct a count, and the merit points will be credited automatically by tomorrow."

The robust man spoke.

Then a Light Gate appeared.

Without hesitation, Thor took a step forward.

As the haze cleared, the surroundings returned to normal, and Count Engel, along with other Dressrosa descendants, appeared as well.

"Let’s go, time to head back!"

"Today we can have a good rest!"

Count Engel said with a smile.

The group then headed toward their station.

At this moment, the sky was gradually dimming, with the dusk glow adorned, they quickly returned to their station.

And just as Thor and others left,

as Law Fragments were being thrown into the Magic Light Ball,

deep within the Royal Palace,

on a vast throne, a figure opened their eyes.

"Is it over?"

"I wonder what the result this time is, and if we obtained a sufficiently complete Law."

The figure murmured to himself, his expression mixed with anticipation and anxiety.

Being only a mid-level kingdom, the Tulip Kingdom traditionally hadn’t fared well in Kingdom Wars and opportunities were scarce.

Even with fair strength, in the absence of the kingdom’s overall strength, the rewards were not substantial.

This time, he likewise had little hope.

Especially since rumors indicated something went awry in this Kingdom War.

In such circumstances, as long as the losses weren’t extreme, it would be enough.

Yet, regarding his next advancement, he couldn’t help but hold some hope.

Currently, he was already at the High-tier Divine Domain Peak, needing to ignite the Divine Fire and condense Divinity to advance further, a step that 99% of High-tier Divine Domain Peaks were stuck on.

Igniting the Divine Fire might be easy, but condensing Divinity was as challenging as ascending the heavens.

It required not only complete Laws but also the comprehension of the Power of Rules above the Laws.

For those like them in the High-tier Divine Domain, their comprehension was either dependent on the kingdom achieving significant results in kingdom wars to obtain enough Law Fragments to form a complete Law, weaving Rules through it, or through external wars.

The former tested the kingdom’s strength, the latter, their own strength.

Though he was strong, obtaining the Power of Rules in an external war was still challenging.

Thoughts swirled.

Various ideas intertwined.

In the end, the Tulip King couldn’t help but shake his head.

He let out a bitter sigh.

He knew his thoughts were somewhat indulgent.

However, at that moment,

a ripple spread in the space, and a figure appeared.

"Your Majesty!"

A respectful voice spoke, a figure kneeling on one knee.

"What’s the situation? The losses this time shouldn’t be too severe, right?"

Looking at the newcomer, the Tulip King took a deep breath, suppressing his inner fluctuations, and spoke gently.

"Well!"

The robust man who appeared instinctively spoke, but didn’t know how to continue.

"What happened, are the losses severe this time?"

The Tulip King was stunned for a moment, then his brows furrowed slightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, over forty percent of the kingdom’s nobles were lost, with counts and even marquises suffering the most, more than half didn’t return."

The robust man took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

"This!"

Upon hearing the robust man’s report, the Tulip King instantly focused.

But soon, he sighed softly.

"Alright, I understand."

"There shouldn’t be much gain this time, over fifty Law Fragments perhaps?"

The Tulip King waved his hand, speaking with a sense of helplessness.

The outbreak of the Divine War, such an outcome was already anticipated, just not expected to this extent.

This immediately extinguished his initial hopes.

"No, Your Majesty, the number of Law Fragments obtained this time reached seven hundred and thirty-five."

Upon hearing the Tulip King’s words of helplessness, the robust man opened his mouth, but still spoke up.

"Thirty-five pieces, you say?"

"What?"

The Tulip King first nodded slightly, then his pupils suddenly widened, looking at the robust man with disbelief.

This moment, even his body stood up instantly, unable to contain his excitement.

"Yes, Your Majesty, a total of seven hundred and thirty-five pieces."
