Chapter 658: 211. The Art of Flipping the Table

“Law No. 1 of the Ulnas Circle” is also known as the “Foundation Decree of the Ulnas Circle”.

It confirms the Ulnas Circle as a wizard’s kingdom built on the power of magic, acknowledging the legality of every law-abiding wizard’s control over magical power.

At the onset of the establishment of the Ulnas Circle, magic ancestors clearly understood:

Constraining wizards wielding magical power through mighty means would only backfire, triggering greater chaos.

Only relatively lenient and free laws can ensure the basic rights and interests of every legal wizard.

After lengthy debate and planning, Law No. 1, hailed as the foundation of Ulnas, came into being.

Only thereafter were the 2nd to 6th rules, set up on the basis of Law No. 1, established.

Law No. 2 is used to restrain wizard forces.

Law No. 3 is aimed at wizard families bound by blood ties.

Law No. 4 constrains the Wizards Teaching Forest.

Law No. 5 restraints the Mass Wizard Tombs.

Law No. 6 restraints the Wizard Advancement Association, and its affiliated local magical research institutes.

Under Law No. 1, magical ancestors, from the perspective of a wizard’s own will, pursuit, strength, and power, have confirmed the three fundamental rights that every wizard shares.

These three fundamental rights are:

The right to cultivation, the right to explore, and the right to challenge.

The right to cultivation resolves the issue of promotion, indicating that every wizard has the right to meditate and practice spells.

The right to explore resolves the problem of wealth accumulation, indicating that every wizard can explore unclaimed land and distribute the spoils of war according to their agreements made before, during, and after the event.

The right to challenge solves disputes between legal wizards, minimizing crimes such as murder and assassination.

Imagine, if two wizards holding grudges against each other cannot resolve their disputes through a life and death duel, then the power of magic they hold will become a source of instability in their local areas.

Therefore, conducting a life and death duel lawfully has become one of the basic rights granted by the foundation decree to every law-abiding wizard.

Under the rules of Law No. 1:

When Party A challenges Party B to a duel to the death, if any of the following situations occur, Party B can refuse the duel application:

The first situation: Party B, a wizard of a lower rank than Party A, can refuse the duel to the death application.

The second situation: Party B can refuse the duel to the death application when they are a staff member of the Magic Institution of the Ulnas Circle.

Those covered by this situation include:

The members of the Wizard Council, the staff of magic institutions under the Wizard Council including the Department of Magic, Law Enforcement Department (excluding enforcement wizards), assistant Tombkeepers of the Mass Wizard Tombs, the mentors and professors of the Wizards Teaching Forest, and heads of the Magic Research Institute of the Wizard Advancement Association, etc.

The third situation: Party B, an enforcement wizard executing law enforcement procedures, can refuse the duel to the death application, but cannot reject challenges that do not involve life and death.
