You Can't Catch the Wind (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 161

Looking back, that might have been the beginning of the anomaly.

‘No, signs of the anomaly had already appeared before that.’

Lasis recalled the events that had occurred after Calon left for Denertum.

Though the entire continent was no different, Denertum was one of the nations where the Golden Law had been drying up particularly severely.

Other countries, even if their numbers had dwindled, still produced heirs whose very existence posed a threat.

For the past hundred years, Denertum hadn’t produced a single heir notable enough to be known across the continent.

The Imperial Academy had once found this fact puzzling. Why was it that only in one specific region had both the number and strength of heirs diminished so drastically?

“The Golden Law is like the water in a lake, isn’t it? Water flows in and out, yet it still remains there… So where did Denertum’s Golden Law flow away to?”

Even in an era when the Golden Law was steadily fading, such a drastic reduction should have meant a corresponding increase elsewhere.

The Imperial Academy initially deemed it worthy of further research, but soon even they lost interest, and the matter faded away unnoticed by anyone.

Denertum was, after all, a remote kingdom, and the Academy’s influence there was weak.

Moreover, the nation itself offered little benefit to neighboring countries, so studying it was deemed less useful than examining phenomena in other kingdoms.

Thus, Denertum’s issue vanished into indifference.

It was so powerful that even Lasis, who was in the Empire, witnessed the surge covering the skies above the imperial capital.
