Chapter 625: Chapter 345 Sword of Power_1

Upon seeing Ivita’s strange expression, the Hearthstone Witch hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, do you have any thoughts?"

Ivita nodded, "I’ve been wondering why nations were secretly supporting Marco Anson sixty years ago, even targeting Cross Island’s laws. But now I have a guess - they wanted the title of ’Hero’. This title should be unique to Cross Island, but for their own benefits or to oppose the Rome Sear Empire, the nations tried every means to strengthen themselves."

"The titles of ’Princess’ and ’Hero’ are the most useful things for them. Besides, the Holy Spring Water, Strength Spring Water, or any other water, are just unique resources with many alternatives."

Ivita pondered, "The titles of ’Hero’ and ’Princess’ seem to be irreplaceable resources. Because of what happened sixty years ago, these two resources spread from Cross Island to the whole Magic Black Forest."

The Hearthstone Witch looked unsettled. "I might know something, Your Highness!"

"What!" An eel mermaid the size of an earthworm jumped up like a frog, "What do you know?!"

The Hearthstone Witch ignored her with disdain, for she had always looked down on weaklings.

The weakening state of the Guardian of the Spring of Power sparked her intense contempt.

Ivita reacted quickly. "That’s right, you’ve been in the Magic Black Forest these past decades."

"You must have heard of what the nations obtained from Cross Island. If not, it could only mean that it is something so powerful that the nations do not want anyone to know."

The Hearthstone Witch nodded, "I heard about the ’Princess’ and ’Hero’, indeed they are new terms that suddenly appeared about fifty years ago. Those with the title of ’Hero’ are generally knights. These knights are naturally stronger than ordinary knights, lucky, and are the treasures of the nations."

"These ’Heroes’ slay monsters, hunt pirates, capture demons and robbers, help the elderly, etc... almost all the disgusting good deeds we can think of, they do relentlessly. ’Princesses’, I’ve heard that..."

"The daughters of dukes or kings reportedly possess special abilities. Some have innately strong magic powers, others have the ability to command all small creatures..."

Ivita, the Hearthstone Witch, and even the Guardian of the Spring of Power fell silent for a moment.

Breaking the silence was the screech of the eel mermaid, the guardian of the Spring of Power. "It’s so unfair! These are unique to the laws of Cross Island; they’ve taken our things, and the nations not only didn’t help us but helped the pirates instead. Where’s the justice? Where’s The Church?"

"Liar! Pirates are wanted and hanged by nations for plundering a ship, but those nations that have stolen a whole country live in peace! Where’s the justice!"

The Hearthstone Witch sneered, "Survival of the fittest, the strong live. I’ve said it before, The Church’s nonsense teachings that when someone slaps you, you should turn the other cheek is the most stupid, brainwashing preaching for sheepling. Hahaha..."

"This incident can further prove my point."

"This world is a vast pasture, which is divided into two populations, wolves and sheep. The kind-hearted people consider themselves the lambs of God, then they are the food for us evildoers."

The Guardian, an eel mermaid, suddenly jumped up, hitting the Hearthstone Witch in the chest. The Hearthstone Witch couldn’t react in time due to her lack of vision, and was knocked down by the strong physical force of the eel mermaid.

The Guardian eel mermaid screamed, "Now that I’ve knocked you down, you are the weaker one in comparison to me. You, the weak, are born to be eaten by me, the mermaid."

Infuriated, the Hearthstone Witch swung her arms trying to drive it away. "Get away from me. Annoy me again, and I’m going to squish you, regardless of what you are!"

Ivita looked at the two who started fighting and shook her head slightly.

The words of the Hearthstone Witch were too extreme.

Indeed, there is a part of this world that lives by the law of the jungle, but more often we see humanity and compassion.

If this world were entirely a world of wolves and sheep, the leading power in the international system of the Magic Black Forest would not be The Church.

A world where the strong oppress the weak based solely on their strength is a world for animals and cannot foster the development of civilization. For human civilization to progress, a set of moral and religious beliefs must emerge to unite all human groups, enhance unity and overall strength, rather than harm each other and mutually deplete their strength.

Now, the nations don’t want me to find out more but also don’t want to reveal their involvement in this. They proceed with great caution, considering morality and religious condemnation, don’t they?

Ivita looked towards a mountain cliff in the distance, where a pillar of intertwined blue and red light was emitting. At the top of the cliff was a massive ice-carved castle, and the light pillar was projected from the top of the castle.

Observing the castle through a wizard’s vision, Ivita felt a potent source of magic power inside the castle, and that the castle gave her a dangerous feeling.
