"But how much freedom does this blood wedge give you? Does it mean that I can clamp down on his heart at any time, at will?"

　My new magic, the blood wedge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Elvis, who had told me of its existence and shared the information with me, asks me more questions.

　How much can the blood wedge be manipulated at will?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I don't think it is that flexible. This magic allows me to send my blood into the heart of the person I'm fighting. But it doesn't mean that I can just clamp down on the heart whenever I want.

"Oh. So, under what circumstances would the blood wedge be effective?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"When the conditions are broken, I guess. I've been trying it for a while now. You have to agree on the conditions when you send the blood to the other party. Like, let's see. You plant my blood in them with the promise that they won't steal. Then, after that, if they don't keep that condition of not stealing, the effect will be triggered.

"That's a very unusual kind of magic, isn't it? I see. So you are saying that the immigrants are conditioned to do this first?

　About the blood wedge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In a word, it is the compulsion of an oath.

　My blood contains a being called Norn, the demon sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is both sword and blood, with a personality separate from my own.

　And by using the Norn, I was able to create the Fresh Blood Soldiers.

　This fresh-blooded soldier has its own will and can move by its own decision.

　But once the fresh-blood soldiers appear, they have their own individual will.

　It does not always share information with my blood, but it is an independent being.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This wedge of blood will be similar to that.

　The blood that left my body could not be manipulated remotely.

　And since it does not use a magic stone, it does not have a strong enough will to speak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, I would say that it has almost no ego.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So we decided to make use of the oath with a set of conditions.

　Apparently, after trying various methods, nothing happens if you simply transplant my blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, if I put a condition on the person to whom the blood is transplanted in advance and then transplant the blood, I don't know why, but it seems that something like Norn's residual thoughts continue to exist, though subtly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I told Elvis, if you don't keep your oath not to steal as an example, the Norns who remain in the transplanted blood seem to know it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And if the norn admits to the host that he/she has broken the oath, the effect will be activated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The heart would be constricted as a sanction for breaking the oath.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have not explained this in more detail to Elvis, but I suspect that the effect of the Norn will be felt in the brain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Otherwise, we would not know if he has broken his oath or not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think the reality of the blood wedge is that my blood with my other personality is in my brain and watching me all the time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think that I have created an extraordinary magic trick.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, maybe I should say that it's more the ability of Norn, the magic sword, than me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, the effect is brought out by Norn who is in the opponent's brain, independent from me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not possible to remotely effect the person to whom I have driven a blood wedge, by something I have not conditioned him later on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, it is necessary to present the oath to be kept firmly at the beginning.

"So, we need a law for the new Barca Street. It doesn't have to be so rigidly defined, but we need to make them swear to obey the law."

"I see. Then, Master Kyle's governance might be helpful."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Brother Kyle's?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. Kyle-sama was once in charge of the land around the site of the Holy City, which he had nothing to do with. He ruled by trial. Using the magic of Judgment, he presented the charges and punishments of the guilty to all the people of the land and asked for their verdict. But there was a lot of trouble in the process."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I see. What kind of problems did you have, for example?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I have heard that the biggest problem is that the law is too difficult. If you are asked to make a ruling on the basis of a law that is too complicated, it is impossible for an ordinary person who does not understand the law in detail to make a judgment on it. Therefore, they set up a principle and made people think based on it. At first, I think there were three principles: don't kill, don't harm, and don't steal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Only three?　That's all they had to try him for."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. Later on, however, they increased the number of rules because they became insufficient, but at the beginning, it was important to make the rules easy to understand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess it must have been difficult for Kyle in a strange land.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I don't think that is enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As expected, only three conditions are not enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Especially, we want to prevent the leakage of information, so we should add a few more conditions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I agree.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe we can consult with your brother Kyle about this kind of thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Unlike back then, I'm sure that he would have some ideas about what we should have done from the beginning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I contacted Kyle through Ai right after that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, I wrote down some of the conditions of the blood wedge, but without making it too complicated, so that it would be easy to remember.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I decided that this would be the law of the new Barca Street.
