Chapter ?1028 New Overlord Coming from the North


    After the start of Minos'' royal coronation, time quickly passed, and the whole part of this special asion open to the public ended.


    First, Minos and Gloria had given speeches to the local poption, talking about the future, the rtionship their organizations would have, and the regional situation favorable to the ck in.


    Minos had also made a few jokes while giving his speech and had even told his citizens that he would be taking time off soon to try to make princes and princesses...


    And in that festive and lighthearted mood, he was crowned and then followed Abby and Gloria in an open carriage through the main streets of Dry City.


    With that, the parade of soldiers from the ck in Army had slowly made its way through the main streets of this ce, with Minos and Abby waving to the poption, hearing the many congrattory words and noticing signs of happiness.


    Even the children there had shining eyes at the sight of it all, not actually understanding what was happening but happy to have seen such an unusual situation.


    When it was the afternoon in Dry City, Minos and his group made their way back to the local government mansion. There, he worked as King for the first time, listening to local leaders'' questions and expounding his wishes and orders.


    Finally, as the sun was setting over the horizon, Minos and those closest to him, as well as leaders of subordinate and allied organizations, met at the young man''s residence for a more private asion.


    In this ce, young Stuart drank alongside King Stone and this man''s older sister, the only members of regional royalty who hade to Dry City for this event.


    However, the now King Stuart also fraternized with his old Stone Ind allies, particrly the patriarch Nash, who hade to this city alongside Elen''s group.


    At the end of the day, all the allies who had attended this great event in Dry City left the local mansion with smiles of satisfaction, looking forward to the future after once again strengthening their ties to this ce.


    Now there was nothing more in their way since even the Spiritual Church had promised to keep the peace in the region against outside aggression.


    And so, this was the beginning of a golden age for these people on good terms with Minos!


    ...


    A few dayster...


    While the northern region was experiencing having the seventh state for the first time in hundreds of thousands of years, news of Minos'' coronation had already reached the ming Empire.


    Usually, a little coronation in the northern region of the Central Continent was no big deal in the eyes of the leaders of that state. But given how exceptional Minos'' rise had been, all the major powers were keeping an eye on those areas, having received this information with interest.


    Only a few months ago, Oswald had crusaded the empire in search of agreements with the main sects of that state so that they would not endanger Minos. But now, such a short timeter, the grandson of the Gray Cloud Sect master had already won the war and be a king!


    That was astonishing!


    As such, even the mighty Spiritual Saints of this state had heard of Minos'' name and could not help but consider what he would do in the future.


    Stay in the poor northern region of dominating that ce for centuries? Or would he be a real cultivator and experience the empire?


    Many wondered about such things, but one person in particr just wanted Minos to stay well away from the empire...


    There was no reason for a monstrous person who could not even have his past checked by a Spiritual Saint toe to the ming Empire... No, it was better if he simply stayed in the northern region!


    However, while this person wanted distance from Minos, other powers were already preparing for the future, to approach this new King amicably or not.


    ...


    "So, Oswald''s grandson won the war, huh?" A man with red hair and brown eyes, strong and tall, asked this while sitting on a dark red throne.


    Upon hearing that, the several high-level Spiritual Saints in that ce looked in the direction of the Spiritual Emperor, who was on bended knee in front of that person.


    Warner, the Spiritual Emperor who had gone to the Spiritual Church camp before, consented and said. "Yes, Your Majesty."


    "I did not watch thebat prowess of that young man since Maisie Coleman did not allow me. But he is indeed very skilled inbat, able to fight those of several levels above his own."


    "He also amassed impressive strength by the standards of that region, something that greatly facilitated his victory in the war of independence."


    Murmurs spread through that ce as the strongest in that state pondered what would happen next.


    But one of them suddenly asked about what Warner had just said. "Did that woman do something else? Did she try to help him in any way?"


    Warner then looked in the direction of an old man with long white hair and a big nose. "Not that I know of. She just kept me from watching her son fight."


    The Emperor of this state then ignored that court member''s question. "Well, since the ck in is now an independent state and the region is returning to normalcy, return that ce and do what is necessary for the Spiritual Tournament to take ce."


    "Take the opportunity to congratte the brat Minos and exin to him our agreement with the states in that region. We can even hold the Spiritual Tournament on his territory."


    "Yes, Your Majesty!"


    ...


    Meanwhile, at the residence of the master of the Gray Cloud Sect, toasts andughter resounded through the recreation area of that ce, with several Spiritual Saints congratting Oswald.


    "Outstanding, sect master!"


    "It seems that the brat Minos has inherited some of your blood!"


    "Hehehe, looks like he truly did a good job in that region, sect master!"


    "The Coleman family finally has a good candidate for leadership!"


    Hearing some of thements, old Oswald smiled in satisfaction, feeling good to know Minos was doing so well in that region.


    He then waved his hand that carried a cup with drink and said. "Little Minos is struggling in that ce, but soon he wille to the empire. So, save some of your words for him, my friends!"


    "But you had better get ready, or you will be too shocked when you see him!"


    Meanwhile, the women in that area were also talking animatedly, with smiles on their faces.


    "Ah, I can''t wait to see that fellow! Thest time I saw him, he was still wearing diapers..." A green-haired woman, who looked as young as Ruth, said this while sitting next to Maisie.


    Minos had been born in the ming Empire. Thus, some of these people had seen him and even changed his diapers.


    Ivy Lawson, level 65, Maisie''s best friend, was among them. She was a beautiful woman with green hair and big breasts that would easily be the biggest Minos had ever seen if he could remember his time as a newborn.


    "Hmmm, I''m curious about my nephew too..." Maisie''s younger sistermented, remembering the child she had seen twice when she had apanied her sister for trips in that region.


    And Maisie, who had already arrived at this ce after her departure from the ck in, was also there drinking and smiling, happy for Minos'' sess.


    She then looked at the ck-haired woman next to her, the mother of her disciple. "It seems that soon our families will be united..."


    "Sigh..."


    "It''s just a shame that my daughter and your sons are two fools..." Ruth''s mother said this after sighing, looking at Maisie and ignoring her other daughter, who was at her side now. "One is a stubborn son who doesn''t want to return home, the other..."


    "The other is a brat lost in her passion."


    While those two were talking, Talia Miles, Ruth''s older sister, also ignored her mother. As she did so, she thought about the man who had stimted her to the point that she had wanted to be with one of the few she should not have.


    ''Minos...'' She felt nervous, thinking that sooner orter, her little secret would fall apart. ''Oh, and to think that soon Ruth will marry him...''


    ''What will I do?'' Talia closed her eyes, remembering that at the moment, her sister was signing the agreement with the Spiritual Church so that she could finally be fully reunited with Minos.
