Chapter 326: Elven Arcane Text (2/2)

The idea itself was not entirely impossible.

Edward never considered himself a genius. But if even he could predict the disastrous outcome of the high elven leaders keeping Mystery to themselves, the high elves themselves would definitely be able to predict it as well—they once founded the grandest of civilizations after

all.

That was why they were likely to have kept the clues to Mystery someplace else in case of emergencies even before they were wiped out.

However, it appeared that the surviving high elves didn’t know about that or couldn’t reclaim Mystery over various reasons, which in turn led to the schism between the elves.

Even so, it wasn’t impossible for someone to stumble onto the high elves’ legacy after over a thousand years by sheer coincidence.

After hearing out Edward’s analysis and thinking about it for a moment, the elven queen had a moon keeper ask for two elven elders who were learned in elven history to come to the visitor chamber, before requesting Joe and Gou Dan to reveal what they knew about the two automatons once more.

Unlike the elven queen who only possessed slight knowledge about the high elves, the two elders who were clearly historians and knew much more about the subject.

That was why when Gou Dan mentioned the war hammer that looked tiny but was extremely heavy and could be summoned into the user’s palm, one of the elders uttered the name ‘Moon God Meteor Hammer’ in agitation. They also subsequently confirmed that the curious buckler the other automaton had to be a protector exclusively used by the high elves called the Moon Sky Guard!

While those names don’t exactly roll off the tongue, the Moon God Meteor Hammer was forged entirely with starsteel. It was a metal divinely created as it only exists in the Moon God’s divine kingdom (there were no stars in this world in the real sense of the word, the ‘stars’ which mortals usually see are divine kingdoms embedded in the realm of the gods), and a blessing that only devoted Moon God believers could obtain.

Even if the Moon God Meteor Hammer was less than thirty centimeters in length, the amount of starsteel used to forge it had to be gathered by dozen thousands of zealots. And since zealots would never give up their gods’ blessing, it was only taken after they diedtherefore, taking into consideration that most of the Moon God’s believers were elves, it would take far longer than a thousand years to gather all those materials.

It was also said that the Moon God Meteor Hammer could only be lifted by the high elves when it was finally finished. With it, the lightest of swings would crush stone, whereas a full power blow could split mountains. Still, while it didn’t compare to the divine spear Sefarim, it was famous amongst high elves too.

On the other hand, the Moon Sky Guard was mass produced and was no more protective than an ordinary metal shield. However, the sacred arts that buffs it could divert most attacks aimed at it, misdirecting the oncoming blow away from the buckler itself to protect its wielder.

However, the elders still failed to recognize what the gimmicks of the sack and cloth were, and could only confirm that they were made by the high elves hanks to the arcane text inscribed over them.

Just as Edward considered how he should ask the elves to help, his System page suddenly bounced out in front of his eyes.
