Chapter 328 - 7th Gen (1/2)
Yumi, Miya, and Diana were all interested in his story.
After all, they barely knew anything about the Northern Continent and Yumi was too busy thinking about Percival during that time.
”Right, we saw a floating island back then… You've stayed there for a while, I bet you have researched more about that island, right?”
Yumi was reminded of that magnificent view.
There are many weird things in that continent like the corrosive rain, treants, huge worms, and others… However, what truly marked in her mind was the floating island that looks so beautiful as it peacefully moves in the sky.
Of course, she already knows that it was most likely caused by a Mana Calamity similar to a popular story about the Illusion of the Venarian Town but knowing that doesn't help in understanding the mystery behind it…
”Yes… But I thought that you will ask more about the Celestials…” Wallace replied.
”Ha! Their existence is what I want to forget… I don't like them. They're unreasonable. I almost died… We almost failed that mission because of that Celestial…”
Yumi complained about it after Wallace reminded him of that previous event.
If not for Wallace's quick thinking at that time, they would've really died right there… As a matter of fact, one of them was in critical condition after the Celestial attacked them, and without Wallace's elixir healing him, they would've lost one member of their party.
”Oh, that makes sense… Anyway, the Floating Islands is just one of the benefits of letting Aeolia stay in the northern continent… I guess you can thank the people who were so eager in eliminating him that he needed to lie low.”
”Wait… So someone was truly plotting against him? It's not a baseless rumor?”
”That's right… He mentioned a couple of powerful Clans in the Kingdom. But I don't think that you'll be interested in it. Anyway, about a century has already passed so I'm thinking that the previous Clan who tried to plot against him has already changed for the better.”
Wallace smiled mysteriously.
”Urgh… Can you at least give us some hint?!” Diana asked as she was truly curious about this part of their history.
Wallace was about to explain more but Avalon interrupted him.
[ Your Senior Apprentice Lacus and older sister Clarice are outside. ]
”Oh, they're already here… Let them come in…” Wallace replied as he was expecting them. Only the three other girls were surprised.
Apparently, after everyone heard about Wallace returning home, they just decided to visit him here…
Lacus wanted to discuss the enhancements of AOTL that he hinted while Clarice wanted to see the progress of her transforming Mech Knight…
'Right… I just let Avalon handle it after giving some advice… I wonder how did turn out.' Wallace suddenly recalled Clarice's reason for coming here…
