To be honest, any mage who has reached a certain level is bound to be curious about the profession of governor, given its intricacies...

"Of course I'm curious. The governor... transformed himself into a vessel for the world runes, and used his own mana to construct wing pillars on his spine that could hold the [symbolic mana], thus deceiving the World Tree into giving him mana to fight."

Another woman stated, her voice also filled with surprise, "It's certainly intriguing that her way of thinking is so different from all the other extraordinary beings in this plane, but I'm actually more curious about Ira than the [Governor]."

"And what about me? If I had known he would appear, I would have woken up sooner."

"When did you start sleeping, Vereesa Ilúvatar?"

The half-elf woman known as Vereesa Ilúvatar thought for a moment and said, "I can't remember the exact time, but it was probably before the duchy split into the Duchy of Hazard and the Duchy of Caesar."

But in the current timeline, the Duchy of Caesar has long been destroyed, and the Duchy of Hazard has become a complete duchy again, seemingly no different from before she went to sleep... except for a name change.

"That was... a long, long time ago? A thousand years ago? Two thousand years ago?"

"You can't even give me a specific time? You seem to have no concept of time."

"Ahem, this is a bit awkward, but there's nothing we can do about it. As you know, Veresa, the passage of time doesn't mean much to us."
