Even though Link had a fierce battle with the Syndicate at the Red Leaves Cove, the news of the incident had not reached the people of the River Cove town yet, so life here went on just as peacefully as before
Link, Jacker, and Gildern were on their way back to the cabin in River Cove town that the ht When they reached there, they noticed that the front door ide open with two Warriors clad in iron ar outside Link recognized one to be that of Annie's, but he'd never seen the other two before
Just as he elling on the identities of the owners of the two carriages, a white-robed Priest walked out of the cabin
Link knew this Priest He was from the Temple of Eichrod, the God of Dawn, in the River Cove town His name was Pytor, and he was Level-3

Legends said that he was the son of the Lord of Light and the Goddess of the Hunt, Achyllia He had a warm and tender temperaic powers
Pytor looked exhausted, and the aura around his body was di divine healing ic
”Princess Annie has invited a healing Priest here, so I think we can stop worrying about Lucy now,” said Link to Jacker with a gentle smile on his face, visibly relieved
When the three of theone into one of the carriages and went away, so there was only one unknown carriage left It was plain and unadorned, and there was no crest or emblem on it which Link found to be quite suspicious
”Mr Link” One of the guards had recognized Link as they were about to enter the cabin, so he for but polite voice
His voice rang through the cabin, so anyone inside would've heard him clearly Soon after, someone rushed outside—it was Annie She quickly examined Link fro that he suffered no serious injury
”How did everything go?” she asked
She had not reached the cabin long before Link arrived Initially, she had planned toback to Red Leaves Cove She did not expect Link to come back so quickly
”Everything's fine now, more or less Andy and histhe militia into the forest to search for the Syndicate's lair,” answered Link, while leading Jacker and Gildern into the cabin
Under the effects of Link's Elemental Cure, Jacker had recovered considerably and his wounds were not life-threatening anymore All he needed was soet so with the battle spoils
Link and Annie then headed towards Lucy's room, and just as they reached the hall on the first floor, Link could clearly sense afrom Lucy's room
Sensing Mana was a natural ability of all Magicians, but Link was icians, so he could sense it even though it eak In fact, the Mana was so weak that he couldn't sense it at all from outside the cabin Nonetheless, based on the Mana that this person exuded, Link was sure that there ician in there!
”Is there so of the strange carriage outside
”You don't let anything escape frouest in the roolad to o inside,” explained Annie with a sweet smile on her face
Link was even ued now He climbed up the stairs to the second floor, slowly opened the door to Lucy's room, and the scene inside slowly revealed itself to him
Because thethe Dark Brotherhood, they could afford a decent-sized cabin It was quite well-built too, being constructed of mud bricks, stone, and timber It even had two stories, and Lucy's rooht A screen divided the roo room section
Link's view of the bedroom section was obscured by the screen when he entered the rooh, he saoolden locks clad in a blue Magician's robe with silver linings She had an elegant air about her It was very di room, so the luminous aura exuded by the woloomy atmosphere of the room
She was sitting at the table when Link found her, flipping through sheets of goatskin papers When she heard the noise of so the door, she raised her head She saw that Link was about to say so, so she interrupted him
”Shh! Lucy has just gone to sleep,” said the uest
”Who are you?” asked Link, lowering his voice as much as possible
Froician In fact, he was sure her level ue idea about the identity of the wooatskin papers in her hands looked very familiar
The woman stood up, walked to the door and said, ”Lucy's life is safe now, but she still needs a lot of rest Let's go to the hall downstairs and we'll talk there”
Naturally, Link had no objections, so the three of them went downstairs Once they reached the hall, the woman introduced herself, ”I'm Moira I'm sure you've heard of the name before”
Link had, of course, heard of her name before—she was Eliard's tutor The two had never h many letters and Moira had helped explained ic
”Thank you very uidance,” said Link, as he bowed Those answers froed to circuic because of her
Moira's smile widened and she stretched out her hand to invite Link to sit down Then she handed the papers to hinized that it was his revised thesis, then he turned back to Moira with a puzzled look
”Do the celestial bodies really move this way?” asked Moira Her voice turned serious when discussing these academic matters
Link nodded He now turned serious too
”I had analyzed the astronomer Derek's 50 years' worth of observation data and deduced my theory froned a fixed path of orbit, then it would only have to be according to the way I described here,” explained Link with much confidence
The stars and the outer space were infinitely , and in every world, there would always be some people ere attracted to its beauty Derek was one of theo who had devoted his whole life to observing the sky and the stars In his later years, he wrote down all his findings in a book called Dreaave it a poetic title, the contents were strictly scholarly and scientific and in it was Derek's own observation data of the movements of celestial bodies that he'd collected in 50 years
In the world of Firunored But because his observations were both detailed and accurate and because he wrote beautifully, his book had been passed down and read widely long after his death Link had even found it in the sht it at the price of only five silver coins It had been a great help to hi the thesis
