Chapter 615: Chapter 341: Obtaining the Law Seed_1

Ivita told the Hearthstone Witch about his findings on the third floor of the castle and said to her, "This must be the Holy Spring that the Frog Princess mentioned. The Frog Princess’s diary said that she got her magic abilities from this spring."

The Hearthstone Witch furrowed her eyebrows. "From the story in that diary, the Frog Princess’s father—the Lizard King—was a powerful knight who has been revered as a lord after saving the residents in the mountain area."

"But he was soon corrupted by treasure. His evil nature attracted Marco Anson and his accomplices."

Ivita sighed, "It seems that the desire for treasure is hard to avoid, whether you are a commoner or a great lord."

The Hearthstone Witch blinked her eyes. "Actually, many people are truly evil inside. They just didn’t realize their nature or have the conditions to become evil. The so-called Lizard King, I think he’s that type! Once a person gains power, their character changes. Only after they pass through this phase can their character stabilize slightly."

"Otherwise, important tasks cannot be entrusted to them"

Ivita looked curiously at the Hearthstone Witch. "And what about you?"

The Hearthstone Witch thought for a while. "I’ve always been this wonderful, my character is very stable. I never do good deeds!"

"..." said Ivita.

While the Hearthstone Witch and Ivita were conversing, the once dried-up center of the Holy Spring suddenly lit up with a faint light, although weak, was very strong.

The soul of the Black Heart that Ivita had once seen was much inferior compared with the strength of this light.

Hundreds of luminescent points began to emerge on the Holy Spring Water.

These points of light were interconnected to the others, creating radiant lines that formed a gigantic figure, which looked like a giant mermaid.

Her fishtail was as big as an elephant.

Ivita and the Hearthstone Witch stood before her like little dwarfs.

The Holy Spring Water started sprinkling out a weak stream of water, like the last breath of a dying man.

"After many years, someone dares to enter the Frog Princess’s castle. It seems that no matter the age, there are those who belittle their own lives."

"The existence of the Seven Seas Law Code has made me too weak."

"This place has been uninhabited for many years and no one adheres to the laws of Cross Island. I have lost almost all of my powers until I meet you two. You guys carry the scent of the last people in the castle who still wish to abide by the laws of Cross Island, and thus, I was able to wake up from the eternal slumber."

Every scale of the giant mermaid glowed with colorful light and when she leaned over to look at Ivita and the Hearthstone Witch, her golden hair hung down like a waterfall, as if it had fallen from heaven.

This was a ’super-sized mermaid’.

The Springs Mermaid said, "I am the guardian of the Holy Spring, and although I want to declare this in a grand way, given my current state, I really have no right to say I’m the guardian of the spring."

"And you two... a witch and a wizard, are the worst combination in the entire continent. What is your purpose for coming to the Spring of Wisdom?"

The Hearthstone Witch glanced at Ivita.

Ivita cautiously said to the Springs Mermaid, "I have too many questions. But I can start by introducing myself, I believe this is the beginning of our exchange based on respect and mutual trust."

The Springs Mermaid did not comment.

Ivita said to the Springs Mermaid in mid-air, "My name is Ivita Alsace, this is the Guardian of Hearthstone Castle, the Hearthstone Witch."

Upon hearing Ivita’s surname, the originally idle eyes of the Springs Mermaid suddenly showed seriousness.

The Springs Mermaid muttered to herself, "Someone from the Imperial Royal Family, huh? Sixty years, you’ve only come to administer justice now, where have you been in the past sixty years?!"

Ivita said to the Springs Mermaid, "I want to know what happened to this castle sixty years ago, why the Frog Princess and her realm disappeared, and how many forces are there that are trying to stop me from investigating?"

The Springs Mermaid said, "I can tell you all these. Sixty years ago, the Frog Princess’s castle was attacked by the minions of the Black Death, the Frog Princess disappeared within the castle, and no one knew why the minions of the Black Death attacked this castle suddenly. But not only the princess, even the Holy Spring was reduced to ashes, hundreds of knights and warriors who were sworn to protect the Holy Spring died here, they didn’t even have time to grab their weapons."

"The terrifying minions of the Black Death destroyed everything here in an instant."

Ivita’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Because it was obvious, someone had used the natural disaster of the Black Death to destroy the castle and kill those warriors loyal to the Holy Spring.

It is highly likely that it was the work of the Lizard King and Marco Anson.

Although these warriors served under the Lizard King, those knights probably swore to protect the Holy Spring, and even a lord’s authority couldn’t surpass the knight’s faith in the Holy Spring. That’s why the castle was hit by disaster.

But this also indicates that the Black Death had already appeared on Cross Island, which was under the jurisdiction of the Cross Island laws, sixty years ago.
