Dragon Monarch System

37 Chapter 37



“Old man, do you know who draw these runs on this door?”

Aditya asked while looking at the runes. Something told him that if he managed to comprehend all the runes drawn on this golden metal door, his Rune Monarch class would reach the next level.

“I am not sure. Even my father doesn’t know who has drawn these runes. Anyway, let go in.” The golden metal doors reacted when Zachary put his right palm on the door.

The golden walls spread apart, revealing the hidden room that was known as the treasury. Following the old man behind, Aditya walked in. The whole treasury wasn’t grand as Aditya had expected it to be. There were some old metal boxes lying around the room collecting dust and spider web.

“This isn’t what I expected the treasury to look like.”

“Hahaha! Your Majesty, your standards are too high.” Aditya felt a little embarrassed. Unknowingly he was comparing this room with his treasury.

As Zachary was moving the copper boxes, Aditya’s found a painting on the wall. ‘What is this painting?’ In the painting, there was a Crimson Dragon fighting 7 beings whose bodies were shrouded in darkness. But he could see the outline of their bodies and could determine that out of the 7 shadows, 3 of them were women.

“Old man, do you know anything about this mural?” Zachary stopped for a second and looked at the mural. When his eyes fell on the Red Crimson Dragon, he remembered how their village was saved by the Aditya.

‘Maybe he is really the person.’ Zachary closed his eyes for a second.

“This painting has existed for multiple centuries. This mural is related to the fairytale that has been passed down from generation to generation.” While saying that, from one of the copper boxes Zachary took out a golden simple, and ordinary-looking crown.

“So you’re telling me that some people are after this simple and cheap-looking crown.” Aditya couldn’t see anything special in this crown. He was more interested in knowing the fairytale that somehow connected the Crimson dragon in this mural..

“Your Majesty, this crown might look simple and cheap but this crown is so precious that its appearance could cause a continental war. Every Empire wouldn’t hesitate to kill millions just to get their hands on this crown. The appearance of this crown could potentially cause the deaths of millions if not billions.”

Aditya raised an eyebrow and observed the golden crown in Zachary’s hand. “Can I see it for a second?” Aditya wanted to see what functions and abilities this simple-looking crown had that made it so special.

“Here you go.” There was a mysterious smile on his face. He believed that if Aditya was the fated person then he would be able to see the value of this crown.

[Crown of Seven Sea]

[Low 5-Star Artifact]

[Description]: – The Crown of Seven Seas is an artifact that is considered a myth. The Crown was lost with the death of the Previous Crimson Dragon King. The Crown was forged by the world’s best and finest blacksmith and Rune Grandmaster. After losing the 7 stones, the Crown of Seven Sea lost its rank and fell from Peak 8-star to low 5-star. The king who holds this crown in his possession will become the unofficial ruler of the world. During War times, the male birth rate will be increased. The Crown can be restored to its former glory as long as the 7 stones that have been lost are found.

After falling to a low 5-Star rank, the Crown lost its main important functions.

[Function 1]: – The Crown of Seven Seas has the power to bless the land. When the land is blessed, the Kingdom’s agriculture will be improved by 50%. The overall food production will be increased by 50%.

[Function 2]: – For a temporary duration, the King can use this crown to increase the power of the soldiers by [10%]. The 2nd function will only last for 5 hours.

[Function 3]: – When the king wears this crown, the fighting power of that King will be increased by [20%]. The cultivation of the owner must be below 5th-order otherwise this function won’t work.

[Function 4]: – The owner of this crown can increase the cultivation speed of his loyal subordinates by 50%. The number of people who can receive this benefit will be limited to [10], The subordinate’s cultivation realm must be below 5th-order or the 4th function of this crown won’t work.

[Function 5]: – The crown can increase the power of the King’s generals by [20%]. The subordinate’s cultivation must be below 5th-order or the 5th function of this crown won’t work.]

Just seeing the rank of this crown, Aditya’s breathing became ragged. His heart began beating wildly. This crown wasn’t just some simple ordinary crown. It was like this crown was made for a King.

As the Crimson King continued reading each function of the crown, Aditya’s blood began boiling. By the time he finished reading the 5th function, his body was slightly trembling in excitement.

“Your Majesty, is this still a simple and cheap crown in your eyes?” Aditya shook his head while trying to calm his heart.

For a moment, Aditya was so tempted by seeing the power of this crown that he even thought of betraying the old man. But he quickly shook that thought out of his head. Aditya wasn’t a man who was going to let greed control his heart. Since the old man trusted him so much, Aditya wasn’t going to break his trust.

“Here, this is a low 5-star artifact. I have to say the functions of this artifact are really tempting.” Zachary shook his head and pushed back the crown to Aditya.

“Before your ask why let me tell your Majesty the fairytale of our Majin village.”

Aditya nodded with a serious look. After seeing the power of the Crown of Seven seas, he no longer dared to underestimate the fairytale that has been passed down for generations. He felt this crown, this mural, and the fairytale, all might have a connection with him.

“The Crimson King will wear the Crown of Seven Seas and shall unit all the races in the whole world. The Crimson King shall erase darkness from the whole world.”

“So the Crimson King is me?” Aditya looked at the Crimson dragon in the mural. The dragon in the mural was huge.

“When I saw his Majesty transform, at that time I was convinced that you were the Crimson King. Though I still don’t understand what darkness here meant. But I feel that darkness associated with the Demon race.”

Aditya weirdly stared at the Majin village head who also was a part of the Demon race. “You do realize that your Majin race people are also a part of the demon race.”

“I have to say, I was expecting his Majesty to freak out hearing my words but you’re oddly calm about this.” Aditya smiled and didn’t reply. On the surface, he might look calm but inwardly his heart was wild as a tornado. Working as a politician, Aditya has learned to keep his calm face in almost every situation.

“Our ancestors told us that when the Crimson King shows up, we have to follow him. With this crown, I and my village also swear our loyalty to the Istarin King also known as the Crimson King.” Zachary put one knee on the ground and lowered his head while saying those words.

“Get up, old man. Save the formalities for other times. Right now we have a problem.”

“What Problem?”

“Didn’t you realize it already? If an outsider knows about this Crown, then there is a high possibility that the information was leaked by someone from this village.”

“What? Other than me, only my two sons and a few elders of the village knows about this Crown. Your Majesty, do you think the traitor is someone among these people?” Zachary tightly clenched his fits while his eyes turned red due to anger.

“Calm down. For now, call all the people who know about this Crown. Meanwhile, I will go and talk with the Wyverns.” Zachary nodded. Now that their people had found the Crimson King, Zachary was going to listen to Aditya’s every order without any hesitation.

After walking out of the village, Aditya used the earring to communicate with Zayne. [Zayne, how is the situation?]

[Your Majesty, an advance party of 30,000 is advancing towards the fortress. The advance party should arrive within 8 to 9 hours.]

[Can you defeat the enemy? It will take me at least 10 hours to reach the battlefield.] Aditya wasn’t that worried knowing his 7 generals were there to handle the situation.

[We have over 20,000 troops. I should be able to defeat the enemy and force them to retreat.]

[Good. I will return with some powerful allies. When I return, we will take the initiative to strike the Zulux Dynasty.]

[Your Majesty, we will wait for your return.]

Aditya was very happy to know how the battle least causalities. After a day of investigations finally, the traitor was found. The traitor was non-other than the second elder who was Zachary’s 4th brother and his son. Both of them received a huge amount of huge in exchange for the information.

Zachary publicly executed the 4th elder and his son. He used this incident as an example to let the people of the village remember that betraying the village was a taboo.

“From now on, everyone shall listen to his Majesty’s order. He is the Crimson King. He is the King that we were told to serve. He will lead us to glory. If anyone disrespects his Majesty will be severely punished.”

After the execution, Aditya was announced as the Crimson King. All the Majin villagers happily accepted to serve Aditya. After seeing him fight and defend their village, he won the hearts of everyone in the Majin village.

Aditya then asked the villagers to move to his land and settle near the capital where he could at least protect the Majin village’s safety and prosperity. Some elderly people were not willing to move from the place that they called home for multiple decades. But after learning the dangers that could come at any moment, the villagers had no choice but to agree.

Aditya then asked Zayne to send some soldiers and carriages to help the Majin villagers shift as soon as possible. He also used the 4 Wyverns to carry the elder and children Majins to Zraka city where they could stay until their new village is created near the capital. While doing all that, he also made sure that no one was watching them from the shadows.

While that was happening, the news of the huge defeat of the Zulux Dynasty’s forces spread like wildfire. The most shocked were the Nepoca Kingdom. With the Istarin Kingdom’s victory, they had a lot of things to consider before helping the Istarin Kingdom.
