Chapter 78: Chapter 77 The Wizard in the Stone Gap, Three Laws of Magic_1
Ivita coldly looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, begging for her favour. “Who exactly are you, which of my identities do you know, and who sent you?”
The Old Witch pushed her luck even more. “Your Honour, let
burn her to death, and use her ashes as fertilizer for my beloved plants in my garden.”
Ivita glanced at the Old Witch, who was always talking about making other people into garden compost, but she had never seen where her garden was.
She didn’t believe that The Hearthstone Great Witch just randomly chose that term.
If she had this portable carriage, then it wouldn’t be surprising if there was a garden she could keep by her side or take with her.
Moreover, she wondered why the Hearthstone Great Witch hadn’t told her the source of her magic power.
Hearing that she would be used for compost, Lolita, who was kneeling on the ground, cried: “Okay, I agree to be your fertilizer.”
“But please promise
one thing, Lord Wizards. Please revive my son.”
Ivita was slightly moved.
He suddenly recalled the strange behavior of this village woman before, holding brand new clothing that a village boy would wear and wandering around aimlessly, and as soon as she t him, she invited him and others into her house and even offered him a horse.
“So, you were wandering around with new clothes because…”
Lolita quickly answered: “I wanted to burn these clothes in front of his grave.”
“That was the command of the Wizard.”
“Inviting you into my house was also the request of that Lord Wizard. As I ntioned before, my son was killed because of the tyranny of the City Council.”
Lolita had an agonized expression on her face. “They also took away the shop we bought in the city, using our lifeti savings.”
“But none of that matters, I just want my son to be alive.”
“I had given up hope, wandering aimlessly in the wilderness every day, until one day, I suddenly heard a voice from a crack in a stone overgrown with wild grass. The voice ca from deep within the stone crack, telling
that he is a Wizard.”
“But he hadn’t eaten for a very long ti.”
“He wanted
to bring him so food, first only bread, then he began to want chicken, duck, cattle, and sheep.”
“And then…”
Lolita hesitated for a mont and didn’t continue.
The Hearthstone Great Witch sneered. “And then he wanted to eat humans, right?”
The Old Witch walked over to Ivita and murmured: “This is pretty common, and quite low-level blood magic, a barbaric remnant of an ancient sacrifice ritual. Low-level Wizards would use this thod to recover mana quickly, but I guess he couldn’t be very good if he needed to resort to this thod for tricking passersby.”
“If it were , I wouldn’t need any flesh and blood, that’s what low-level wizards do. I would need betrayals between family mbers, father and son killing each other, friends hating each other, those could help
recover my magic power quickly.”
Ivita noted this point quietly, then looked at Lolita. “So, you tricked us into your house before, and tried to poison us, because you thought we were just ordinary lost people, and you wanted to sacrifice us to that Wizard?”
Lolita’s eyes lost their focus. “I really had no choice.”
“He said that if he ate ten people, he could revive my son.”
“He said that once he had eaten his fill, he could co out, avenge
against the hateful heads of the city guild.”
Ivita was montarily speechless.
This was simply madness.
Lolita actually believed the words of a strange wizard.
The Hearthstone Great Witch ruthlessly shattered Lolita’s illusion. “That guy lied to you.”
“He does not have the ability to revive your son.”
Lolita’s eyes turned red as she looked at her. “No… No way, and even if he can’t do it, what about you?!”
“You just said, you are a higher-level witch than him.”
“It’s not about the level,” the Old Witch rebuked. “It involves the three incontrovertible Laws of Magic.”
Ivita looked at the Old Witch.
The Old Witch continued: “First, Magic cannot bring the dead back to life. Those resurrected by magic will inevitably lose sothing, preventing them from fully returning to life.”
“Those who have been resurrected usually beco mindless undead, or higher beings who are neither alive nor dead with newly acquired wisdom.”
“They can’t be called ‘revived’.”
“Second, Magic cannot create true love. At best, it can create special scents that stimulate hormones to allure n and won.”
“If you consider sexual desire and admiration as love, then Magic can indeed help you achieve your goal.”
“Third, Magic cannot give knowledge to others.”
“I can extract the scant mories and knowledge from your pathetic brain with my gaze, but I cannot impart the profound knowledge from my massive brain to you, making you a master in an instant.”
Ivita frowned, it was like that all along.
As for the images she saw of his ancestor’s before and acquiring so knowledge from that, it was not others imparting knowledge onto her.
It was her taking it herself.
The Old Witch beca more and more angry as she spoke, continuously closing in on Lolita, forcing her to stagger backwards until she had nowhere else to retreat to and crashed into a wall.
The Old Witch shouted, “Do you understand!”
“Magic cannot accomplish these things. If Magic can’t achieve other things, it is because our research on Magic is not sufficient yet, but these three things are absolutely impossible for Magic.”
“Because it involves the Laws!”
“These are laws that ca into existence at the inception of Magic. If these three laws were disregarded, the Magic Palace would collapse in an instant.”
“These three laws are like the beams of a house.”
“They are the basics that support Magic, and even the rules of this world. Any witch who violates these three laws will pay a price they absolutely cannot afford.”
“However, the witches who are able to break these laws are themselves extrely rare.”
The Old Witch said: “How can a wizard who is beckoned in backward places help you revive your son?”
Lolita’s body slumped to the ground, and at this mont, her heart was filled with despair.
Ivita glanced at her.
There’s no helping it, wars are cruel.
This turmoil caused by Ambros will affect everyone on this plain. As the Thousand-Year Fire extinguishes, the curse of the Duke of the Forest, which has lasted for two thousand two hundred years, will fall on the head of everyone in this basin.
The Thousand-Year Fire is the key to everything.
Ivita thought of her ancestor in her own body, the Princess of Alsace, the creator of Fire Snake Black Magic, who had said, after her research on fla magic, she discovered that the Thousand-Year Fire had almost extinguished more than once.
There’s always soone who discovered the secret to make the Thousand-Year Fire continue burning.
What exactly is that secret?
Has no one found the secret to making the Thousand-Year Fire continue burning this ti?!
Ivita said to the crying Lolita, “Take us to see that Wizard.”
“I want to et the Wizard you ntioned, who can bring people back to life.”
The Old Witch sneered. “I guess he’s one of the Wizards who were sealed underground before, but as the Thousand-Year Fire is about to extinguish, devils are running rampant on this land, and that fool is going to crawl out of the ground again.”
