Chapter 84 - The Ark Of The Universes Laws (1/2)

”Not really. This is quite a problem for the Mages. If it reaches out, it might end up alarming the higher ranks,” replied Mavislin, calming herself down.

The Valkyrie sat back down as the Baron turned the tide of the conversation. The Earl heaved a sigh of relief. Any more than that level of anger, the area might get destroyed.

”You kill without a care in the world. Deaths should not be an issue to you,” commented Gab, with a hint of antipathy.

”Oh no, not the death part. I'm referring to the incidents as a whole. It's not only an issue on Earth. It's an offense across the entire Universe.”

The Earl and Baron looked at Mavislin questioningly.

”The Universe has rules?” asked the Earl.

The face that the Valkyrie made to the poor Earl was priceless. Gab found it hard to stifle his laughter.

”Humans aren't the only intelligent life around the Universe, you know,” commented Mavislin, raising her eyebrows.

”But still, I didn't know that the Universe would have laws.”

”Herr, wirf Hirn von Himmel... Oder Steine hauptsache er trifft...” murmured the Valkyrie.

”And does that mean?”

”It's a German saying. 'Lord, throw some brains from heaven. Or stones so long as it hits the mark.”

”Mate, I think it's a must for all worlds to have laws. Or else, everything will be in chaos,” said Gab, in between laughter.

Even the Valkyrie had to crack a smile.

”We call it 'unspoken rules'. The basic courtesies to do upon visitation, to sum it up. When you arrive at a foreign planet, you are not allowed to take over unless it has been proven vacant. And if you are there to visit, you must try to blend in with the beings on that planet,” explained Mavislin, crossing her legs.

”Well, I have no issues about that. It's the same around here. Upon entering a home, one must be invited and not cause harm to the occupants.”

”Not very similar since the Universe as a much wider area to cover, the laws are quite loose compared to the ones on Earth. And if you tried taking over somewhere that had occupants, the locals are free to eat the opponents.”

”So that's why Mages tries their best to act human,” said the Earl, giving a petrified look towards the nonchalant Valkyrie.
