Chapter 499: I Am the Green Forest Earl

"The deity in charge of the 'Leap Month'?"

Yefunai, however, thought of more: "When the Green Forest Earl first promulgated the Lunar Calendar, he specifically stipulated an extra leap month every three years. Could it be that he was prepared long ago?"

"Is all of this the arrangement of my Lord?"

The more she imagined things this way, the more she felt the terror of the 'Spirit of Falsehood'; the other party was a terrifying existence capable of plotting and creating a deity!

"I have never heard of the name of the deity in charge of the 'Leap Month' before. Is this a trump card hidden by my Lord?"

Yefunai felt a secret chill.

Unconscious overthinking is the most lethal!

In reality, all of this was just a beautiful misunderstanding.

"The Countess?"

Even the Speaker of the 'Green Banyan Council', the 'Living Dead' Tias, was secretly cultivating Liliyat, which spoke volumes.

Aaron was still not prepared to do something like striking his own allies.

She recalled the Earl's previous order, her expression slightly dazed.

But if things went this way, it would inevitably offend the three Imperial God churches.

……

As for William nearby, he had already been ignored by him...

Because it came from the bestowal of that Green Forest Earl!

Although even so, a piece of meat would have to be ruthlessly cut from the Invis Kingdom, Aaron felt the other party should accept it gladly.

The time required for cultural shifts and customs changes is extremely long, especially for concepts that have been deeply rooted in people's hearts for a thousand years!

Unless... there is another Historical Ruling!

Therefore, the only thing that can oppose a Fate-Master is another Fate-Master!

Whoosh!

Reviving the glory of the ancient Sotos is Liliyat's long-held dream.

The 'Unmelting Ice' and the 'Lord of the Underworld' are at least neutral deities, and the 'Raven' is even his own ally.

The Green Forest Ring of Power was originally the cursed object of the 'Evil Spirit' Aokelaier, but now this item was of no use to him at all.

Even in the middle of the night, the conference room remained brightly lit; one wonders how many all-night meetings these core ministers and great nobles of the kingdom had dragged Arthur VI into.

She wore pajamas and got up from the bed.

Therefore, Liliyat had no choice but to agree.

She thought for a moment, put on the glasses on the bedside table, lit a candle, and began to perform the bestowal ritual:

"Founder of the Mortal World's Occultism, inspirer of modern science, wielder of the unexpected... the great Aaron Sotos..."

A cold wind suddenly rose inside the Spirit Wall, the candle flame surged upward violently, and countless mysteries and Spirituality flowed out from within, together forming a gate engraved with mysterious patterns.

As for the 'Red' relic? Naturally, it was a contribution from the 'Gourmet Association'.

Watching the excitement, shock, and awe of the 'Invisible Cult' members, Aaron nodded and stated the most critical matter for calling this gathering: "Liliyat."

While thinking, he arrived before the Mitra Palace.

Liliyat opened her eyes.

Therefore, he chose to strip away Aokelaier and grant his spirit eternal peace.

In the deepest part of the Mitra Palace, the 'Unknown-grade' Strange Object—the Mitra Palace Bell—just as it was about to chime, suddenly trembled and fell silent...

But for Aaron, this was merely a matter of closeness and distance.

Through simple identification, she confirmed that one of them was an 'Underworld' relic, and the other belonged to the 'Red' path.

Liliyat whispered a prayer in Spirit World Language: "I pray for your bestowal, I pray for you to open the passage to the Mortal World..."

"Yes, the future of Green Forest is entrusted to you."

It was a ring, and two Non-human Grade relics!

"The Green Forest Ring of Power, the true Green Forest Ring of Power!"

Liliyat played with the Green Forest Ring of Power with an uncertain expression, then carefully sealed and put away the two Non-human Relics.

And the idea that one must first destroy the laws of a 'cursed object' to completely eliminate an evil spirit did not hold true for Aaron.

She was actually very interested in this famous symbol of the Green Forest Earl, and had even risked stealing a fake one for it.

This superimposed responsibility was already too heavy, to the point where she could not escape it.

However, after Aaron conducted the Historical Ruling, the concept of the 'Leap Month' had already taken root in people's hearts; even if Invis joined the other two kingdoms and the South Innis indigenous states to announce the abolition of the Lunar Calendar, it would take at least decades or even a century to truly dissipate this influence!

And this was basically an impossible thing to do.

Aaron strolled leisurely to the front of a conference room.

Liliyat's eyes widened, clearly never having thought about this aspect of things.

And at this moment, this ring was undoubtedly real!

Even the 'Rapier' Aaron had paid with his life and soul for this, voluntarily becoming a vessel.

Liliyat, not knowing why, felt a bit uneasy; she stepped out and bowed in salute.

Amidst an ancient voice that seemed to come from the Spirit World, the gate slowly swung open, and the three items lay quietly in the center of the ritual.

Hearing Liliyat's prayer, Aaron chuckled.

Liliyat sighed with emotion and first picked up the ring bearing the banyan tree mark.

Clatter!

……

Plymouth.

The guards protecting the palace gate were like blind men, turning a blind eye to him entering the palace gate.

As for the spiritual remains, they shall be bestowed upon Liliyat; this carries a greater sense of heritage and Ritual.

Without a doubt, this is prepared for her advancement to 'Living Dead'!

"Great ancestor, thank you for your mercy and generosity..."

Aaron made the decision directly with an unquestionable tone.

Liliyat prayed once more before concluding the Ritual.

"I intend to restore the family name and Glory of the Sotos Family in the Mortal World... From this day forth, you—Liliyate Sotos! You are the future Countess!"

Even if one could persuade them through benefits, it would require paying a heavy price and exhausting oneself to rule the kingdom; why bother?

Therefore, simply restoring the Glory and territory of the ancient Green Forest Earl is enough.

After the previous great battle, let alone the Fourth Primordial Substance, Aaron could even produce the main materials for the Fifth and Sixth Primordial Substance.

Whether by using the ability of an Arcanist to directly create a Paradox, or by employing the 'Spirit of Falsehood' for Purification, this antique, the Ring of Power of the Green Forest, can be preserved.

Liliyat has known him the longest, so he is most willing to cultivate her; furthermore, she is a descendant of Jinni, making her bloodline closer than William, who is a descendant of Xia Ya.

"I... Countess?"

"Ancestor!"

With Aaron's current strength, even if he were to destroy the Invis Kingdom and change it into the Fabri Kingdom, it would be an easy task.

Because the Invisible Cult always convenes its gatherings late at night, sleeping through it would not arouse suspicion.

Snap!

The door to the conference room was pulled open directly, and Aaron walked in slowly; looking at the smoke-filled venue, a smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty the King, the Green Forest Earl has come to visit!"

Arthur VI rubbed his eyes, looked at the incomparably handsome figure walking toward him, then looked at the high officials and nobles who had risen in shock along with him, and took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound as calm as possible: "Are you the founder of Occultism, the inspirer of modern science, the Legend, the Green Forest Earl?"

"Yes," Aaron replied with a smile, "I am the Green Forest Earl!"
