Chapter 381: Chapter 235 Purchase of Ships and Turin Law_1

The following morning, they set sail, leaving behind The Church and its people in Ravenna. Not long after they departed, a squadron of knights, bearing the Church’s banner, stormed into the dock they had previously occupied.

The leading Superior Knight exuded an intimidating power, his armor gleaming under the sunlight, as if bathed in divinity.

With a full voice, the Superior Knight declared, "I am a detective knight of Albert Monastery. Are the guests from Ambros staying here?"

"Have them come out to see me."

"The Abbot of Albert Monastery wishes to meet with them. Bring them out immediately."

The dock’s proprietor came out with his employees, giving the knight a once-over, raising two fingers. "Firstly, they have already left."

"Secondly, this is our privately contracted property, not associated with The Church."

"Although you are a fourth-ranked Knight and I am but a common man, should you dare act such a way again, I will report you to the Church’s court. I will also reflect your reckless and foolish behavior on my vote in the next district election when choosing the Abbot of Albert Monastery."

The Superior Knight narrowed his eyes. He could crush the dock’s proprietor with a single finger, yet he knew well that he was speaking the truth.

All he could do was roll his eyes, squeeze his horse’s flanks, and let his steed adjust its course. "I understand. If they return, please let me know... No matter, they probably won’t."

The knight’s second-in-command was a Great Knight, who asked: "Shall we pursue them?"

The detective knight of Albert Monastery rolled his eyes again. "Chasing after them locally is already troublesome, let alone across church districts. We’ll probably end up taking the blame. The patrol team of Albert Monastery is always the scapegoat."

"I have no interest in losing the district’s votes over this."

"Regardless, it’s not like this matter is of much importance, and they aren’t criminals. We’ll just report in a few days. We’ll tell them our adversaries have already left The Church and its people in Ravenna."

Unfurling his silver glove, the second-in-command chuckled. "Let’s go to the tavern for a drink."

"That is also a good idea," the detective knight agreed, "We should never do anything that would cost us votes."

...

It took two days for Lord Ivita and the others to leave The Church and the people of Ravenna, crossing into one of The Three Republics, the Republic of Belisarius.

After paying a penny toll and receiving a friendly smile from the rotund officer at the toll station, they entered the lands of Turin.

Suddenly, Ivita felt a terrible suppression on his magic power, and found himself unable to summon any significant amount of magic power.

Ivita attempted to use Fire Magic, but the Fire Bird Magic only produced a small flame on his finger tip.

Ivita turned to the others on the ship, "Hearthstone Witch, how much magic power can you use?"

The Hearthstone Witch was also pale, and her hand was trembling, the flame of magic only burned for an instant. The light purple fire of the Flower God’s Spirit Fire from the Fire Elemental Flower lasted only briefly before disappearing without a trace.

Cecilia the Pathfinder sensed her elf bloodline but was confronted with the horrifying realization that she was almost like a normal human.

Everyone on the ship realized the same, whether they were warriors or hunters, their strengths had not vanished but had weakened to the point of near normality.

Tartax declared the truth, "This is the law of Turin! People in close proximity to Belisarius, the legendary city, will be affected by the law of Turin. They will be unable to exert power, or else they will be in opposition to this legendary city and its metropolitan area."

"But don’t worry, everyone on this land under the influence of the law of Turin is close to being a mere mortal."

"I said, you should rely more on wisdom than physical strength. Perhaps you can find wisdom that belongs to you here."

Tartax suddenly realized it was not fitting to speak like this to Ivita and added, "Of course, Lord Ivita is not included in this."

On learning about the law of Turin, Ivita sat contentedly on the ship, observing the scenery on both banks.

The two shores of the Republic of Belisarius were mainly flat roads made of volcanic ash and bricks, bustling with pedestrians.

These pedestrians were sailors and merchants on their way.

They quickly entered a small town in the Republic of Belisarius called Lahrena Wu.

This town was coastal and built on both sides of the Bohr River. It boasted abundant water resources. Although it was called a small town in Belisarius, it had the scale of a city in Ambros.

The town was filled with gorgeous buildings ranging up to ten stories, all built with red and blue bricks. These waterfront high-rise buildings were impressive.

The townsfolk were very warm and hospitable. Many people were selling goods on their boats in the Bohr River flowing through the middle of the town.

Compared to the previous two countries passed by Ivita and his companions, this place was extraordinarily lively.

It was like the difference between a rural area and a super metropolis.

The goods here were dazzling, from gemstones sourced from all regions, rare fragrances like dragon’s saliva and yangchun sand, to various fruits, foods, handicrafts, and even children’s toys.
