It came from the Julian plate of the Lost Sea, and Julian itself bordered the TRAPPIST-1 system in the direction of Aquarius.
The Drifters had built a nation here, while the Great Library, hidden behind the reverse side of real history, had written an entirely different civilization for it."
Old Constance spoke slowly.
At this moment,
burdened by many Current World disasters, the once-cheerful old mage seemed to have grown even older.
"So,
Julian's main city, the City of Breezes—Lorenz Riel—protected by the Giant Tree of Breezes: Afadaratia, was actually a reserve academy for scholars directly under the Great Library.
That was why our status was so exceptional,
while Julian could only exist as an Abyssal Sea branch academy.
After all,
even aside from me,
the other Great Sages, and even sixth-rank Ascenders, would not permit any sort of H-system error to arise here."
Upon hearing him say that,
Elda, the short-haired female dean of Gatekeepers Alijos, had even more questions:
"I know all of that,
but why can't they solve Lorenz Riel's danger?"
When she said that, the Old Dean merely smiled gently and shook his head.
"Silly girl,
the Great Library has witnessed too many civilizations die in their infancy, their light extinguished while they were still flying toward the sea of stars.
If everything had to grow under protection, then human civilization would forever drown in its cradle.
It might even
be destroyed in the wars of the selfish.
From nations to the managers of an organization, or even independent individuals,
every possibility of their progress
would be consumed by how to divide up existing interests.
So compared to an old fellow like me, who has already made something of an exception, perhaps the Great Library's rule of keeping records without excessive intervention is the right one.
