The royal artifacts could do that too?
Analyzed logically, there was nothing wrong with it.
But the equipment attributes I saw said otherwise!
"..."
Linsey opened the attribute panel and checked again, half convinced and half doubtful.
No surprises there.
The Human Wisdom Codex collected "human will" and gained the effects of a wish-granting machine; the Thorned Necklace granted various enhancements to the chosen ruler of the City of Law.
Neither of the two royal artifacts in Linsey's hands displayed any ability to control the Law System. Even including the already-damaged White Steel Sword, whose original attributes Linsey had seen, there was no related function.
If he had to find some connection—
The Thorned Necklace had an Order attribute: only a recognized ruler could activate the enhancements granted by the laws. That was the one attribute related to the Law System.
But the effect of Order required its bearer to become the king of the City of Law before gaining permission to receive the Law System's enhancements.
That reversed the cause and effect of control over the Law System!
"..."
Linsey frowned.
The Princess, whom Wala Wala was helping to her feet, understood Linsey's predicament with a single glance.
Yanafeien: Under normal circumstances, only a recognized ruler can wield all three royal artifacts and obtain the corresponding authority.
Yanafeien: But that is part of a complete ritual.
Yanafeien: With the royal artifacts currently in our hands, we may not be able to operate it perfectly, but we can still achieve our goal indirectly!
Linsey: Incomplete royal authority?
Yanafeien: The Thorned Necklace symbolizes the foundation of law and order, so it is inherently closely connected to the Law System. The Human Wisdom Codex on you, meanwhile, can use human will to provide an opportunity to operate the Law System!
