No sooner has Rozemyne’s fourth year at the Royal Academy begun than she ends up somewhere unexpected. How will the saint respond when an incident in Ahrensbach leaves everyone else feeling defeated?
If Rozemyne was able to get the Grutrissheit just from praying at the shrines and charging the library’s central magic tool, then what is locked behind the barrier, in the underground archive, since it is clearly not an absolute necessity to gain Mestionora’s Wisdom?
That seems rather excessive protection to add just the single step of donating mana in the library, to what was already explained in tablets and scrolls in the rest of the underground archive.
Could it just be an elaborate misdirection, to discourage potential usurpers from trying to usurp the crown, with the chance of the interloper coneniently getting themselves eliminated by Schwartz and Weiss?
I think it was a method made by the royal family (hence why it would check if you’re registered as a royal) as a shortcut to getting some form of copy of the Book of Mestionora. Wonder whether it’s a collection of knowledge in there or some form of magic tool that you would fill with mana so you could recreate it like divine instruments.
Oh I am absolutely certain that a later Zent made this room, otherwise Schwartz and Weiss, who were created by a Princess, would not be such an integral part of the mechanism.
To me it sounds like previous Zents have made physical transcriptions of important bits and that’s what would be locked up. Or at least some kind of tool that provides access to the knowledge even if it isn’t specifically in a written form.
There have been notes about the book being passed between generations too if I recall, which based on our description this week could be as straightforward as the feystone of a dead Zent.
The Erwaermen route Roz just did included a worthiness test that she passed easily (she wanted to read, not rule).
That worthiness test might be what previous royals failed at, so they added a chamber to the underground archive where they could copy a Grutrissheit lite containing just the important magic for running the country, without the full Erwaermen wisdom download.
As long as you have 7 tablets, you can probably make any knowledge you have appear in a book by chanting “grutrissheit”, regardless of whether you got a full download or not.
