Chapter 1011: Elizabeth's Lesson

Chapter 1011: Elizabeth's Lesson

I was with Elizabeth inside the Dungeon, she seems to want to tell me more about the Creatures of the Abyss and insisted on talking to me in a place far away from everyone, so we went to the City of the Undead place that I acquired in the Dark Continent.

The Undead here are too weak to go against the two of us and the 4 Black Dragons I left here seem to be more intelligent than in the past, they are staying away from me but not taking me out of their sight.

"Why did it have to be here? Wasn't there a more normal place to talk?" (I)

"This place will do, people from your Dungeon don't normally come here, with the exception of a few people who are here often." (Elizabeth)

Even without her saying it I knew that the people who come here the most are Hela, Nix, Silvia, and the High Priest of Death Henrique.

"This place has become the hunting ground for those Dragons that follow you." (Elizabeth)

"I had forgotten they were here, but they look different, are they smarter?" (I)

"Yes, I gave them some of your blood, you should have done that earlier, first generation normal Dragons benefit greatly from the blood of True Dragons." (Elizabeth)

She points to the Dragons and waves to them as if she understands her way, the 4 come to us and stop in front of me, I can feel their Aura getting glued to mine as they look at me with sparkles in their eyes.

"They are average, but at least they are Black Dragons with Demon bloodlines, so if trained well they can serve as your guards in the future." (Elizabeth)

"What would I want Guards for?" (I)

"Your nation may be small now little brother, but over the generations, it will grow and you will become someone important sooner or later." (Elizabeth)

"When that day comes, you will need guards, emissaries, and servants of absolute trust to do the most mundane tasks for you." (Elizabeth)

"And you want me to use Dragons?" (I)

"You are a True Dragon, that's quite normal." (Elizabeth)

"..." (I)

I run my hands over the Black Dragons' heads before trying to wave them away and they oblige showing that they understand my gesture, looks like I'll have to think about them more in the future.

Sigh

"Why did we come here, sister?" (I)

"I wanted to show you a visual example..." (Elizabeth)

We walked to the center of the ruined city, and we saw many Undead in this place, but none of them came close when my sister released her Aura radiating from her Holy Power, I did the same copying her.

We did this in an area of only 20 meters around us, because of this all the Undead that come close are injured, and the dumbest ones simply die before they even get close to us.

In the center of the city, there is the castle in ruins and a crater right in the middle of what's left of the castle, that's where the Cursed Dungeon that was destroyed was.

"This place has seen better days..." (Elizabeth)

"Did you know this nation?" (I)

"One of my students created this nation or should I say one of the nations before this one a long time ago." (Elizabeth)

"He was an exemplary King and could have been an Emperor one day, but he didn't like the idea of conquering other nations, his descendants were more ambitious at least." (Elizabeth)

"But after 5 generations a rotten fruit fell, so it didn't take long for selfish desire and envy to spread until the Kingdom cracked from the inside out." (Elizabeth)

"In the fall of a Kingdom another takes its place and in the end, the cycle repeated itself again before this Kingdom was born, I had hope that they would overcome the barrier, but an unforeseen thing happened..." (Elizabeth)

Sigh

"Your Maid Alice told me about this place, they were unlucky, a pity, but it can happen to anyone..." (Elizabeth)

"Couldn't you have interfered at some point to save one of these Kingdoms? It looks like you followed them closely." (I)

"I just listened to a lot of things after it happened and noticed some signs before it happened, the rest was inevitable." (Elizabeth)

"What did you do to avoid the things you predicted?" (I)

"The only thing I was willing to do, I gave 'advice', but the point of 'advice' is just giving a light in hopes of illuminating a path, but it's still up to people to find that path and use that light." (Elizabeth)

"I am a Demigoddess who has a power comparable to the Gods, my actions can always lead to future consequences, that's why I don't like to interfere personally and I leave everything in the hands of those who have the potential." (Elizabeth)

"If the Gods and Demigods were to interfere directly in the world, then everything would be controlled, there would be no real freedom anywhere, and stagnation would be the only result." (Elizabeth)

I think of her words as I look down, the destruction of this place is great, but as she said Kingdoms rise and fall in the river of time, and my ancient world was no different.

If there was an existence above all others always guiding everyone to the right path, never allowing others to err or fall, then no one would ever think for themselves, and there would be no creativity or learning, it would truly be stagnation.

"(If you don't have the freedom to fall down to try to get up on your own, then would you still have the freedom?)" (I)

"..." (I)

------------------

I found myself reflecting on a world completely without freedom, as I don't know enough about the history of this world, I did this reflection using my ancient world as an example and I didn't like what I imagined.

Maybe the world would never have left the Middle Ages and there would never have been any kind of technology, people would live in peace, but it would be a miserable peace at the cost of restrictions that maybe nobody even saw, a world totally ignorant...

------------------

I got lost for a few minutes in my thoughts and when I turn my gaze to little sister I see her smiling, so I understand what she wanted.

"Did you come all this way just to try to teach me like you did your students in the past?" (I)

"No, unlike them you already have your way, I just couldn't resist giving you a lesson when an ideal situation arose." (Elizabeth)

She hugs me and strokes my head before letting go, so her eyes get a little unfocused as if she's concentrating on an image or memory in her mind before she starts to speak.

"I want to tell you about the Origin of Creatures of the Abyss." (Elizabeth)

"Tell you about the origins of Order and Chaos." (Elizabeth)
