Chapter 172: Chapter 127: Snow Mountain Law and the Restricted Scale of War (5108) _2

So he finally understood. He originally thought the Ice Witch was an enemy of humanity, but now it appears that she is, in fact, a neutral power.

Because she placed her bets on both sides, she became a neutral force.

But why would the Ice Witch do this?

Ivita looked at the old witch. "Could a full-fledged witch, with such great mana, bestow blessings on thousands of ships in the Bohr River Basin?"

"After all, when I was distressed by my own fire magic and set ablaze, it was your response to the Ice Witch’s magic power that turned a creek into a river and extinguished the flames on my body."

Ivita stroked his chin with his fingers. "Looking at it this way, I should thank the Ice Witch."

The Hearthstone Grand Witch was extremely jealous and gritted her teeth. "What is there to thank her for? A mere full-fledged witch obviously has no such magic power. It is the Law. She is only a puppet under the Law."

"It’s Snow Mountain Law. Controlling the Bohr River Basin is an important subsidiary law of the Snow Mountain Law and is Snow Mountain Law’s compromise to The Fire of Law: the Thousand-Year Fire."

The Hearthstone Grand Witch said, "Legend has it that after the Great Redwood Sea disappeared, Ambros was turned into an icy landscape for a time. The Snow Mountain Law was about to engulf the Ambros Plain, but the Thousand-Year Fire melted the snow mountains, transforming them into the Bohr River."

"The Ice Witch is a protector of the Snow Mountain Law. She was only able to do what she did by borrowing the power of the Snow Mountain Law. If I had such a law, I would even be better."

The old witch said somewhat sourly, "If I had Snow Mountain Law, perhaps, I would be a senior witch by now."

"I really don’t know why, after all these years, the Ice Witch on the mountain is still a regular witch."

Ivita was a bit embarrassed.

He changed the topic to avoid the sour mood of those around him.

Ivita said to Lady Alice, "I’ve noticed that Redwood trees have started growing at the bottom of the Bohr, Lady Alice, you might want to prepare - in case the Bohr becomes impassable, it won’t affect Parviga’s trade."

Lady Alice raised her left eyebrow in surprise, her expression comical, and she began to laugh. "Worrying is a good thing, but Ivita, you don’t have to concern yourself with something that isn’t likely to happen."

"At its widest, the Bohr River is four hundred meters; at its narrowest, it spans several tens of meters. Historically, there’s barely any record of a blockage."

"You’re overthinking."

Ivita didn’t want to argue with her. "If the Bohr River could reach the doorstep of my territory, that would be great."

"That would save us travel time."

If they had to travel by horse-drawn carriage from their territory to Parviga and back, it would take four days. But by using the Bohr River, a specially structured automatic propeller boat, and the blessings of the Ice Witch and Snow Mountain Law to the humans’ ships, it might only take half a day for a round trip.

No wonder the commerce in the Ambros Basin is so developed. It seems that this is not only due to special customs but also because of the environment being endowed by nature.

This is equivalent to the entire Ambros, having an incredibly developed highway system.

On earth in a previous lifetime, there was a popular phrase - to get rich, first build roads.

And the Ambros Basin, naturally enjoying this unique waterway, is truly fortunate.

Lady Alice suddenly said to Ivita, "It’s possible. But you might have to spend several million gold pounds."

Seeing Ivita’s confusion, Lady Alice responded, "Ivita, the Bohr River on the Ambros Plain has been transformed."

"Do you know about the Ancient Civilization?"

"This was once the administrative center of the Ancient Civilization in a certain period, and it took thousands of years for the Ancient Civilization to dig channels here slowly, to create the current Bohr River Basin."

"In other words, if you want a river like this within your territory, the best method would be to hire people to dig it."

"However, such a massive project may take several decades to complete. It’s something that would benefit later generations."

Ivita just smiled and did not speak.

In the Dome murals of Fire Sacrifice Square, it was once shown that the Thousand-Year Fire was invited into the Pantheon of the Ancient Civilization.

Indeed, the Ancient Civilization once made this place their administrative center, but no one knows why they moved away later on.

In the end, the cause of the downfall of the Ancient Civilization was still unknown to him.

"Pan once said that what is happening now is the same tragedy that happened before." Ivita mused in a low voice. "Could it be ... the mysterious demise of the Ancient Civilization and the Ancient World has something to do with Ambros’s ongoing civil war?"

"Did the Thousand-Year Fire decline because of the civil war?"

But, that’s not right.

If that were the case, why didn’t the Thousand-Year Fire decline during the War of Extinction caused by Witch Anna’s plot four hundred years ago?

This suggests that the direct cause of the decline of the Thousand-Year Fire is most likely not civil unrest.

It is highly likely that he got the logical sequence wrong.

It’s quite possible that the Thousand-Year Fire began to decline first, and then the monsters lurking in the shadows emerged, leading to the current civil war in Ambros.

Ivita could not figure it out for a while and decided to return to the room prepared for him by the Blacksmith Guild.

"Lady Alice, I want to go back. I’ll leave the city tomorrow morning."

"In the future, we can stay in contact via carrier pigeons. If it’s not for anything serious, the one dealing with our guild would usually be the Knight Griffin."
