Chapter 529: Helpless

"Which two ways?" Sein asked hurriedly. Ne/w novel chapters are p/u/blished on no/vel(/bin(.)c/o/m

"The first is to eliminate the Magus World’s hostility and restrictions against black mages at the law level. That way, nothing will stop the two of you from being together. The second is for the major divine towers and knightly orders to rescind the bounty on her,” White Stella replied.

“The first option isn’t viable for you; it’s beyond your capability, and even the soul overmages and overlords struggle with it. The second path is difficult but possible.

“There have been instances in the history of the Magus World where black mages were no longer wanted. These individuals, without exception, made significant contributions to the advancement of the Magus Civilization.

“As a result, various soul towers and grand orders issued declarations absolving them of their crimes and acknowledging their contributions to the Magus World.

“You might consider a similar approach,” White Stella suggested.

Much of White Stella's lengthy advice was motivated by concern for her younger sister.

Tourmaline, however, appeared confused and oblivious to the discussion between Sein and White Stella.

White Stella herself had little faith in Sein's ability to resolve Leena’s identity issue.

Their current strength was insufficient to garner the attention of the major soul towers and grand orders.

Rather than offering genuine solutions, White Stella’s words were more of a gentle consolation.

Since the request was beyond White Stella’s capabilities, if Sein and Leena were to meet in the future, they might have to resort to the strategy Leena had devised during the Knight Continent’s trial.

Leena was renowned for her proactive wisdom—preferring to rely on her own strengths rather than seek assistance.

Despite preparing for the worst, Sein could not hide his disappointment upon learning that even White Stella was powerless to help.

His long sigh caught Tourmaline’s attention, prompting the dragon turtle to look up at her sister.

White Stella continued, “While I can’t reverse her wanted status, I can certainly facilitate her escape from Blackhaven.”

“Did you say he signed a magic contract with a Rank Three black mage? Show me the contract. I should be able to alter it, provided it doesn’t involve the power of laws.”

She pointed at Zorro, who stood beside Sein, looking perplexed about how Sein had managed to forge connections with these formidable aquatic creatures.

The prospect of being able to bring Zorro away from here slightly lifted Sein’s spirits.

However, before he could express his relief, White Stella pointed to Faye and said, “Not her though.”

Leena had violated the overt rules yet had not transgressed the covert moral guidelines.

Conversely, Faye had breached the covert rules, though she was not officially wanted by the major divine towers or knightly orders.

Violating either set of rules was no minor issue.

The Magus World was a strong, thriving civilization.

Its strength lay in its comprehensive and complete laws.

The orderly adherence to these laws allowed the Magus World to continue advancing along its predetermined developmental trajectory.

However, should it descend into chaos and disorder, the internal conflicts alone could be enough to dismantle the Magus Civilization, despite its dominance over numerous star domains.

Why, then, did so many planes within the Magus Alliance, despite being exploited by Magus World, still choose to align closely with Magus Civilization?

The formidable power of the Magus World was one reason; another was the Magus Civilization’s commitment to setting and following rules.

Within these parameters, Magus World also safeguarded the interests of its vassal planes.

Thus, these weaker planes and civilizations staunchly supported the Magus World.

White Stella’s insights, as a Rank Five being, revealed to Sein the core nature of the Magus World and the perspectives of those among the higher echelons.

Glancing at Leena, Sein noticed the look of resignation on her face. Unlike Sein, her disappointment was not as profound.

Perhaps Leena had already anticipated this outcome and adjusted her expectations accordingly.

By keeping expectations to a minimum, she faced less disappointment.

For Leena, the prospect of occasional contact with Sein and meetings in otherworldly planes like the Undead World was enough.

She dared not ask for more.

Destiny was enigmatic and elusive.

Although Leena had studied some astrology, her understanding remained limited.

Given Sein’s promising future, Leena had no desire to hold him back.

Instead, she found solace in quietly supporting him from the shadows.
