Free Web NovelChapter 594: Chapter 342: The Dressrosa Family’s Past (Part 2)
For him at the moment, the deeper issues of the Dressrosa Family are not what he needs to consider now; what he needs to focus on is how to get through this crisis of the Sarca Kingdom.
Although from the daily intelligence system, he probably understood what was going on.
Clearly, the Dressrosa Family still has many connections in the Sarca Kingdom, and these people are likely the ones protecting him. As for another group, they probably have nothing to do with the Dressrosa Family’s previous problems and are just targeting the Dressrosa Family itself.
After all, if it were truly related to the Dressrosa Family before, he wouldn’t have left the Sarca Kingdom alive.
But the fact that he walked out alive speaks volumes.
Of course, even if it has nothing to do with the past Dressrosa Family, the Sarca Kingdom’s strength, comparable to the Sela Kingdom, is beyond doubt. Even just a part of the Sarca Kingdom’s power makes Thor somewhat gravely concerned.
Like the Seventh Prince in the daily intelligence.
To pass through the Sarca Kingdom, the Seventh Prince is an inescapable hurdle.
If he doesn’t avoid him, his troubles will continue unabated.
Additionally, it is crucial to note that even if he alters his plans and ideas.
The information in the daily intelligence suggests that the Seventh Prince will die and will implicate him.
Even if he doesn’t enter the city and chooses to take a further detour.
The outcome will be no different.
The only difference would be when and how he dies.
But the essence remains the same.
Even Thor had to curse when he realized this.
But regardless of his thoughts, this is reality, forcing him to consider these problems.
"Eldest Prince!"
"Second Prince!"
"Duke Opper Heis!"
"Duke Hubert Monk!"
.....
The whispered voice began, and in his mind, Thor sorted through several critical characters’ information.
This is also the advantage of daily intelligence.
After seven days.
With each refresh of the daily intelligence.
What Thor learned wasn’t just family-related information.
But also a part of this crisis.
The crisis of the Sarca Kingdom is much simpler than he imagined.
It wasn’t overly complicated.
It involves, essentially, the trivial matter of royal inheritance rights and the previous grudges of the Dressrosa Family.
When the Dressrosa Family entered the Sarca Kingdom back then, even with its remnants, its power was overwhelming to most Sarca Kingdom forces, naturally causing many conflicts.
When conflicts erupted frequently, hatred naturally formed.
The enmity between the Monk Duke Family and the Dressrosa Family was undoubtedly the deepest.
This is also the main reason why crises abounded the moment he entered the Sarca Kingdom.
As for the Heis Duke Family, it had some friendship with the Dressrosa Family back then, so it offered a bit of help.
Among them, the two princes.
Had their eyes on him and on the Dressrosa Family’s Divinity with the potential for exchange.
The Second Prince somehow learned of this information.
So he began to take action.
On one hand, using his affairs to weaken the Eldest Prince’s power, and on the other, seeing if the Upper-Rank God Divinity could be obtained.
It was an Upper-Rank God Divinity.
Though the Sarca Kingdom was strong, this level was beyond their imagination. If obtained, they would have the chance to reach higher levels or even gain a new continent.
Then, the position of Sarca Kingdom’s king wouldn’t be a concern.
Even within the Empire, it would hold significant status.
But clearly, this Second Prince probably did not know that this Upper-Rank God Divinity is not easily obtainable.
Organizing thoughts in his mind.
Ideas flowed one after another.
He did not change his course, continuing forward.
Two days passed.
The daily intelligence system refreshed twice, providing Thor with some related intel.
And this intelligence completely dispelled Thor’s last worry.
Now, a majestic city gradually came into view.
It was Serbia, one of the three major cities in the western Sarca Kingdom.
According to legend, the first King of the Sarca came from Serbia.
Though just a rumor, it made Serbia incredibly prosperous, especially since it was close to the Northern Demon Beast Mountain Range. The Mountain Range’s rich output turned Serbia into a distribution center for various goods.
Even though Thor and his group were still a dozen miles from the city, they could see many knights traveling on the road.
And many commoners.
Unlike other cities or kingdoms.
The gap between nobility and commoners wasn’t as vast as expected.
Nobles still held high status, and commoners would give way upon seeing them.
But that was about it.
Nobles wouldn’t go out of their way to trouble commoners.
And there were almost no instances of nobles bullying commoners.
This outcome surprised Thor.
After all, this was the first time he had witnessed such a scene in this world.
If the regime of other kingdoms mirrors the Middle Ages, the Sarca Kingdom resembles the ancient Huaxia feudal dynasties.
Of course, there are still some differences.
But it’s remarkable.
The Sarca Kingdom’s system doesn’t seem to fit well with the continent’s norms.
It shouldn’t exist.
But it did.
Moreover, the Sarca Kingdom had been around longer than other kingdoms.
This clearly presents many issues.
Taking a deep breath, Thor shook his head, stopping the thoughts.
These things were currently unrelated to him.
His task was to face the issues ahead.
The group continued forward.
As dusk descended,
The group finally reached the West City Gate of the City of Serbia.
As nobility.
Even if not Sarca Kingdom nobles, they could still use the noble passage, similarly to other kingdoms.
Other than needing to register as foreign nobility.
In line, Marco swiftly registered.
Thor’s group awaited entry.
The noble passage was undoubtedly smoother than the commoner’s.
In about half an hour, before dusk fully set, they passed the city gate.
But after passing through, Thor glanced back at the gate.
The City Gate Officer stationed there was already gone.
Thor shook his head, choosing not to stop him.
Unless he left the Sarca Kingdom, exposure was inevitable anyway.
So he opted to follow the predetermined path.
Anyway, he figured there would be minimal issues.
The daily intelligence had confirmed this yesterday.
Thoughts swirling.
The group entered the City of Serbia.
As soon as they entered, Anna and Ivira’s eyes lit up.
This city was by far the largest they had seen on their journey.
