When the Storm Lord was still alive, the World Tree already existed. It had a manager at that time, and we all called him Heim. That means ‘highest sovereign. At first, the lords and Heim lived in harmony. Then one day, a lord made a mistake while testing a new spell, leading to a horrible spatial change. Heim spent three years trying to revert this change. During these three years, countless people died… Finally, Heim realized the danger of magic, and he decided to ban everyone from using it… Then, the War of Domination erupted.

Link sat quietly in his Mage Tower’s library, listening to the sword spirit recount the War of Domination from millenniums ago.

It was too long ago, and the sword spirit often had to stop, but his memory was still quite clear.

“What happened next?” Link asked.

What happened next? Let me think, let me think.

The sword spirit’s voice was close to a murmur. He didn’t continue until a long while later.

Heim was too powerful. The lords weren’t his match at all. Using the World Tree’s power, he easily defeated them all… Until one day, someone discovered his secret.

Here, the sword spirit stopped again. Link couldn’t help but urge in his mind, “And then?”

Don’t worry, don’t worry. It’s been too long… Oh, right. There was some unknown thief who somehow climbed onto Heim’s World Tree. He discovered the secret of the Book of Creation. Heim destroyed the thief, but the secret still spread. The Storm Lord, Fire King, Iron Dragon and more all went forth. Finally, my old master, the Storm Lord, found the chance. He used turbid lightning to shatter the Book of Creation into pieces… Ah, I was so powerful back then. I shattered the tablet with one hit, scattering the pieces on the ground… After that, I became famous…

“Alright, alright,” Link quickly cut the sword spirit off so it wouldn’t drown in its past glory. “What about the pieces? Was it really broken into three big pieces with one in the Dragon Valley, one in the Isle of Dawn, and one in the North?”

Let me think.

The sword spirit sank into deep thought again. Link had to wait patiently. This time, it took a long while to think. Just as Link was about to give up, it spoke again.

It was too chaotic at that time. I don’t remember how many pieces it broke into, but one was really big. It was the main portion. When it broke, the Storm Lord grabbed it… He’d checked it carefully and then said it was useless. He was about to throw it away, but someone stopped him…

“And then?” Listening to the sword spirit’s memories made Link feel constipated. He had to push it out bit by bit. It even made his stomach hurt.

This time, the sword spirit didn’t reply. More than ten minutes later, it said in confusion, I can’t remember, for some reason.

Link sighed deeply and composed himself. “Then tell me what you can remember,” he said.

Okay. I’m sorry. It’s been too long, and I can’t remember. Its voice was apologetic.

Link couldn’t do anything except comfort it. “It’s okay. Anything you say now will become my unique advantage. I don’t need to know everything. I just have to know more than other people.”

The sword spirit seemed to feel better, and it continued.

I have some impression of where the large piece went. I think… the Storm Lord still threw it to the north. He threw it really, really far away. He even used a wind spell. Perhaps that’s the one in the North.

“Oh… So you’re saying that the one furthest up north may be the biggest one and the main portion at that?” Link suddenly wanted to go north immediately and search for the piece.

However, he quickly calmed down. It had been millenniums since the war. Throughout these years, there must have been countless ambitious people who went to find it. The High Elves must have had some information too. They wouldn’t let go of a chance to control the World Tree.

After all these years, either someone found it secretly, or it was very difficult to find. Anyway, it couldn’t be rushed. It depended on pure luck to find it.

Probably. I remember that the main portion had many more times the content than the other pieces.

Link was intrigued. He continued asking, “Is there more information?”

Let me think.

The sword spirit fell silent. After that, it managed to say some more, but they were mostly unreliable rumors. Link could only remember them and use them for reference.

While he was communicating with the sword spirit, Celine came over. “Link, that mouse surrendered.”

Ever since that day, the mouse had been stuck in the basement. In order to not damage the Mage Tower, the Magicians just used the most powerful seal to keep the thing in a corner instead of capturing it.

It had been more than a week now. The thing hadn’t had any food or water and had less than 30 feet to move in. It probably couldn’t keep going anymore.

Since the sword spirit couldn’t think of other valuable things, Link stood up. “Let’s go take a look.”

The two got to the basement. Eliard and Evelina were there too, observing the cage.

Eliard looked as if he’d seen something new and special. “Link, you came at the right time. Come look at this thing. We thought it was a magic pet, but it’s actually a demon. It has such great transformation skills!”
