Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son

Chapter 288  Main Heroines [2]

"Who here thinks a god can die?"

A few students raised their hands, including me, at Wilhelm's question.

His meadow-green eyes swept across the room. "I see… fewer than I expected."

Gesturing for us to lower our hands, he turned towards the massive map of Lumina pinned to the wall behind him.

Dots with symbols of various shapes and sizes marked it.

He tapped the map with a long stick; his voice echoed. "What do these symbols represent?"

"Dungeons."

Wilhelm nodded, pointing to the southernmost part of the map.

"As you can see, the Danava Kingdom of the Asuras doesn't have any dungeons. Does anyone know why?"

The room fell silent. No one said a word.

"No one?" Wilhelm's gaze shifted to the Asuran students in the room, but even they avoided his eyes.

He answered his own question, tapping the map again, this time at a nearby location.

"It's because of this—the Shrine of Princess Gwenyra." A few Asuran students recognized the name, though confusion clouded their expressions.

"But how?" one of them finally asked. "Isn't she just a myth? Something the Maidens of Artemis made up?"

Wilhelm tilted his head slightly.

"A myth, you say? Yet many claim to have seen her… and some even say she healed them."

"Anyone can do that by utilizing mana," another chimed in. "Doesn't mean they can start acting like a self-proclaimed goddess."

"She utilizes sunlight instead of mana, though," he replied, glancing back at the map.

"Anyway, as I was saying, Princess Gwenyra is the reason why there are no dungeons in the Lindit Continent." His stick moved across the map, pointing to the northern regions. "But what about the Vendrick Continent, home of the werewolves?" The stick shifted westward. "Or Alfheim, where elves and vampires live?" Finally, it landed on the sprawling Ocelotte Continent in the east. "And what of the humans in Ocelotte?"

Leaving the continent of Kandam at the center, he turned to look at us. "Why do they have dungeons?"

"..."

A complete silence lingered in the place as no one had the answer.

I could have answered it, but I chose not to.

Wilhelm took a dramatic pause before his lips curled up slightly.
