Chapter 83: Chapter 80: I want to create universal laws! (6000 main Chapters) _3

The princess looked at Ivita strangely, as if surprised that he, an Alsasian, did not know this.

She said, "Yes. Lower Burgundians originally did not live in the area they live in now. They moved there after the mysterious collapse of the ancient civilization. They were actually supposed to live in the North Sea, probably on an island where some spirits resided. Their bloodlines are a mix of god and elf who served gods, carrying the legacy of water magic."

The Alsasian princess shook her head and said, "But it’s all unclear now. After the unaccountable collapse of the ancient civilization, literacy was rare and knowledge was almost just passed down orally. No one paid attention to history anymore."

"Law scholars and history researchers, along with the once revered philosophers, were seen as the most useless people by us. We let them starve or die of thirst, humiliating them until death. Only after several hundred years did we start to regret our actions and realize the value of scholars."

"In the present day," Ivita quickly added, "scholars have opened many universities, and there is even an alliance of universities — Scholar City."

The princess of Alsace looked slightly surprised. "I never would have guessed that those scholars, who in our time were as lowly as dogs, could make a fine showing in this era."

Ivita continued, "The powers of Scholar City have even issued a declaration to eradicate magic and the church."

"..." The princess fell silent.

After a while, she said, "This is just human nature. No matter where you stand, what comes to mind is always the simplest solution — eliminate the opponent, deny the opponent, and refuse to acknowledge any of their advantages."

"I have seen too much of this in the Alsasians."

The Alsasian princess said, "The royal family of Alsace has the Fire Dragon Bloodline, while the Lower Burgundians are the Tribe of Water."

"Therefore, we were born to be enemies, as incompatible as fire and water. I originally thought that as a collateral branch of the Alsasian royal family, you would be quite familiar with the Lower Burgundians."

Me?

Collateral branch?

Sorry, I am a direct descendant!

Ivita immediately realized that the princess likely misjudged because he only brought so few people to explore this place.

She probably couldn’t figure out how the original owner lost his position in Alsace.

Ivita found the flame of the Thousand Year Fire useful and tried to ask, "Princess, can you tell me how you successfully preserved the flame of the Thousand Year Fire?"

"It’s not that I don’t want to tell you." The Alsasian princess sneered. "Even if I told you, what good would it do? What resources do you have to follow my methods?"

"How big is your territory?"

Though slightly embarrassed, Ivita still answered, "One baron’s territory which has just experienced turmoil. However, I believe it has the potential to be quite prosperous."

The princess gave Ivita a sidelong glance but said nothing.

She must have found it laughable but held back her comments due to politeness.

"Oh, then you’re just a minor noble. I used the resources of an entire kingdom to achieve this, and afterwards, I was expelled from the Alsace Kingdom."

"So do you think, telling you the method will be of any benefit to you?"

Ivita suddenly felt a bitter ache in his heart.

He was just too poor.

The princess said, "Time is limited because we don’t know how long we can maintain this special state."

"You should no longer ask me for information that you can obtain by spending your own time."

"Look up at those murals. These murals have a Secrecy Spell placed on them, which will only be revealed to two specific types of people."

"The first type is those who wish to perpetuate the Thousand-Year Fire."

"The second type is those who wish to collect the laws."

The princess of Alsace said, "Let’s not talk about the second type for now, as the consideration seems too remote for you."

"..." Ivita.

The princess started to look down on him after knowing his financial status.

The princess of Alsace said, "So, if you want to see the contents of the mural, you should meet these two conditions; otherwise, you will be shielded by the Secrecy Spell."

"What’s powerful about this spell is that you’ve actually seen all of the content and all of the stories on the mural."

"Yet, the Secrecy Spell makes you forget all about it. Even though you’ve seen it, you don’t remember anything, you don’t even remember that you have seen it."

So that’s how it works.

Ivita fell silent for a bit, thinking that the murals could only be seen by people who genuinely wanted the prosperity of the Viscount Ambrose Country or people who truly wished to collect the laws.

Pan God once prophesied for him, saying that he was a collector of land and water, implying he was a law collector.

But if that was the case, he should have been able to see the story on the mural!

Ivita calmed himself down and breathed a sigh.

He realized he needed to sort out his feelings.

Did he want Viscount Ambrose’s Independent Country to get better?

Did he really want to collect the laws?

In the past, he had simply assumed that collecting the laws was tantamount to helping the original owner regain his country.

But he needed to ask himself, is this the case?

Ivita thought of Lolita, who was forced to harm people due to social changes; of the families in Baron Moro’s territories who lost husbands and fathers; and of every person he had met since coming to this world.
