The Volcano Lizard Chieftain and the Barbaric Bone Chief pressed their handprints on the treaty.

Ivita also pressed her index finger on it.

Ivita said, "From now on, neither of your tribes can fight each other privately. If any problems arise in the future, I am the judge. If someone under you decides to kill someone privately, then it’s up for both sides to solve."

"If anyone dares to knock down the stone statues of all tribes again, the death penalty awaits, albeit instigated not out of personal revenge, but a law I’m imposing."

The Volcano Lizard Chieftain and the Barbaric Bone Chief shook hands. Even though the two had their differences, they gave each other acknowledging nods.

The Barbaric Bone Chief said, "From today onwards, we are family. I have been thinking about this, maybe we were too excessive before, henceforth, we would share our channel of ironware production with you."

Hearing this, the Volcano Lizard Chieftain exposed a smile, speaking genuinely, "Actually, we’ve both made mistakes. The channels we use for producing herbal medicine can also be shared with your Longhair Tribe."

Once both sides cleared up the situation, the atmosphere immediately became much more harmonious.

This was the charm of unification.

Unification could eradicate a lot of internal friction, reconcile resources, and distribute commodities better.

Having sorted this out, that very afternoon, Ivita, accompanied by Kamizuki and the Dead Cow Wizard, made a visit to the Longhair Tribe’s treehouse. Ivita asked the Wind Bone Old Lady about the "Frog Princess" and "Clear River Bay".

Inside the treehouse, the Wind Bone Old Lady put down her pipe, and exhaled a long cloudy breath mixed with tobacco. "The name ’Rock Jackson’ appearing alongside the Frog Princess is shocking even to me."

"Sixty years ago, Rock Jackson was just a dull, clumsy, and distasteful little devil, always trying to peek at us bathing. But the phrases ’Frog Princess’ and ’Clear River Bay’ existed already in Cross Island legends from sixty years ago, making appearances only in fairy tales."

The Wind Bone Old Lady riddled, "A witness, huh?"

"I don’t understand the meaning of ’a witness’ and its connection with the grafting of laws. Rulers like you, none of your daily activities bring relief."

"Swamp Great Lord, ’Frog Princess’ and ’Clear River Bay’ are fictional names that appear only in fairy tales, and as far as I perceive, Rock Jackson was a good-for-nothing, destined to either be a poor shoeshiner or a peeping tom. As to why their names appear together, I also don’t have the slightest idea."

In Ivita’s eyes, the Wind Bone Old Lady’s expression brimmed with bewilderment.

Ivita had no choice but to be patient and asked, "Why not tell me about the fairy tales of the ’Frog Princess’ and ’Clear River Bay’? I’m quite curious."

The Wind Bone Old Lady squinted and smirked. "Ah, there is not much to tell, just a somewhat naive fairy tale that was widely known sixty years ago. I can’t fathom any connection it could have with people in reality."

"The legend says that the Frog Princess was originally a beautiful princess of a small kingdom, dwelling in the Magic Black Forest, living a blissful life. However, on the day of her adulthood, she met a lumberjack cutting down trees under the castle."

"The princess fell in love with the lumberjack at first sight, and the lumberjack was unmarried. Despite their burning love for each other, they met daily under the castle, but the princess’s father found out..."

"The princess’s father was terribly angry. Conveniently enough, he was a wizard. He threatened his daughter that if she did not marry a prince and instead chose to love a lumberjack who owned nothing, he would make his territory and daughter disappear... turning his daughter into a frog..."

"The princess didn’t believe her father would harm his territory or his daughter, so she eloped with the lumberjack anyway. However, the king fulfilled all his curses against the princess. He made his kingdom, the Clearwater Kingdom disappear completely, and turned his daughter into a frog, making her forever known as the Frog Princess."

"But the princess, after turning into a frog, couldn’t be recognized by the lumberjack."

"From then on, that kingdom disappeared forever." The Wind Bone Old Lady said, "It is a local fairy tale with ancient roots, so I suspect that the original version should’ve pointed to an Earl’s territory or a Viscount’s territory, the story probably involved a Viscount or an Earl, a tiny island could hardly sustain a king."

"Only a fellow like Marco Anson has the ability to turn Cross Island into a kingdom. If everything were truth."

Wind Bone Old Lady rolled her eyes, "After all, it is only a fairy tale that even a three-year-old child in the countryside would know."

Ivita nodded, "I see now. A disappearing territory and a princess becoming a frog, huh?"
