This is problematic.

Link sprawled on the ground of the valley, thinking of the information he’d gotten from the two demons. The Void Ferry actually had more than 3000 Legendary demons. Nozama wanted to come personally to deal with him. Even more shocking, these guys were still looking for the mysterious gear and had come here.

This place was extremely close to the mysterious gear. If they searched carefully here, they would definitely find it. What would happen if they found the gear?

Link didn’t know if they would receive undefeatable power or shocking wisdom. All he knew was that he couldn’t let Nozama find it.

But what should I do now? Link had no clue. While wracking his brain, his magic servant Dadara walked over with a thick magic book in his hands. “Master, I’ve prepared what you’ve requested.”

“Get closer and read for me.” Link’s eyes rolled and looked down at Dadara. He remained sprawled on the ground.

It wasn’t their first meeting, but whenever Dadara had to approach this huge beast, he would still get nervous. He forced himself to around 50 feet from Link and started reading.

“The realm we live in is called Fedara. In ancient times, it was a barren land. There was no water, no air, and no life. One day, a great god arrived. He saw that the world was so quiet and decided to add life to it. He spent seven days in total to create the creatures… Master, this is the myth spread all over the continent. I cannot ensure the validity. I personally do not believe it.”

Link didn’t agree or disagree. He huffed out some air, creating a breeze in the valley. “Keep reading. Don’t add your useless nonsense. Your knowledge isn’t enough to determine the truth of history.”

Dadara felt insulted, but he didn’t dare object. Licking his chapped lips, he continued, “After God created life, he stayed in Fedara for countless years. He arranged the order for the world to operate, and spread the written and spoken language. When he left, he pointed at the ancestors of humanity and said, ‘From now on, you will rule the world in my place. Magic is the scepter I give you…'”

The myth was very rough. There was a handful of myths similar to this in Firuman. Most of the details couldn’t be believed, but there were still some traces left behind by history. Here, Link asked, “What was the god called?”

“He never said his true name. However, the ancient people called him the Sovereign of Light. Whenever he appeared, he was covered in endless light. People couldn’t see his features clearly either,” Dadara said.

“Sovereign of Light?” Link was slightly surprised. The Sovereign of Light was similar to Firuman’s God of Light. Piasce had also said that the mysterious gear in the Sea of Void was enveloped by light. Could there be a special relationship between these three?

However, there still wasn’t enough information. Link couldn’t conclude anything yet. “Continue,” he ordered.

“After the god left, the ancestors used the God-given magic and quickly reached the top of the world. In the beginning, many believed that God would return and the ancestors were only temporarily protecting the world order for him. Thus, the world was very peaceful, and everyone lived happily. However, God never returned. Time passed, and the order broke apart. About 9000 years ago, the first magic war erupted in Fedara. Countless powerful Magicians crowned themselves as magic king. They fought each other to snatch the scepter given by the god. The dark ages lasted for 30 years. It was known as the War of the Kings.”

“Oh? Is this a legend or history?” Link was interested.

“This is true history,” Dadara said.

“Where’s the evidence?” Link asked.

Not only was Dadara a Magician, but he was also a learned scholar. He knew everything about Fedara’s history.

As soon as Link asked, he replied, “There are many ancient relics on the continent. The most well-known is the Stargazer’s Platform in the South. Ancient scholars observed the paths of stars there. There’s a famous wall painting called Dawn of the Gods. Beneath it is an epic poem of 5389 ancient words. It recorded the ancient war in detail.

“There are also three eternal magic seals on the Stargazer’s Platform and five fossilized bodies. This all proves that the War of the Kings had truly happened around 9000 years ago. According to my research, the specific time should be around 9155 years.”

It was a detailed reply. After hearing it, Link felt like he should visit the Stargazer’s Platform. Of course, he had to learn as much as he could about this world’s magic before that.

Thinking of this, Link said, “Continue the story. After that, I need to know about your magic.”

“As you wish, Master.” Dadara continued reading.

While Link was focused on learning the specifics of Fedara, Glyn was escaping with Franklan. He ran more than 1000 miles without stopping and finally took a breather after reaching the heart of the Troym Kingdom.
