The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
Looking at the morning that has calmed down...
Lucille still couldn't calm down. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that these things existed.
Ancient gods, believers... and that unspeakable power, the opponent would fall down without even needing to do anything!
Although he had believed in those ancient prophecies over the years because of his pursuit of the power of the Cain Slate, especially when Kselk met Sister Rachel, her abilities were completely beyond the scope of ordinary people.
These feelings were all different from what I had witnessed with my own eyes, especially since that power was deeply embedded in me...
Now, the person Lucille was most reluctant to trust was her mentor, Sean. Not the current Prince Sean, but the all-powerful yet extremely low-key wizard Sean from over twenty years ago. Had he also dabbled in the power of the Old Gods?
Touching his chest...
Events from many years ago came back to mind again.
"Master Elesis!" Anu asked curiously when the people behind him saw that Elesis did not move.
Lucille turned around and looked at the nobles and Seria in front of her...
Sean's sister, the eldest princess of this country, she had met him before when she was in the imperial capital, but they had never spoken because of their status. If she had become a court wizard, she might have had a chance to meet him, but it didn't happen, of course not!
"This battle is thanks to Master Elesis. I will definitely report it to my father and reward you." said Seria.
This was also the first time that Princess Seria and Lucille spoke face to face.
Who would have thought that the notorious witch Elesis in the southern region was actually such a beautiful woman. She looked not much older than herself, and possessed such high strength at such a young age. Compared with the current head of the court wizard, Master Brad Pitt, the witch in front of her was too lucky.
It is not difficult to imagine that when she gets older, there will be few people in the entire Jagun or even the entire desert countries who can compare with her!
"Let's put the commendation aside. I don't like that kind of reward either. It's just that the opponent you meet this time may not be so simple!"
"Why?" asked Seriya.
Lucille thought about it. The person originally responsible for this ghost incident was Princess Celia. Even if she returned to the imperial capital, she would still be required to make the news public. By then, many wizards would come back to harass her, like Brad Pitt.
I might as well tell a few people the whole process.
Of course, this omitted the corrosive power in his own body, and only said that he understood the other party with powerful magic.
"High-level wizards or other professions will be able to glimpse the existence of this power itself, but I didn't expect that their activity is higher than I imagined."
After hearing this, Seria and the other nobles all had expressions of disbelief on their faces...
Adak is a region that believes in the sun god. Many people have faith in gods in their hearts, but if one day they are suddenly told that what they believe in exists, and even what they don’t believe in also exists, that kind of helplessness is probably their expression at this moment.
"Then..." Seria didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I recall that many years ago I heard that an incredible incident also occurred in the southern part of the Bashalan Empire in Zambutar. At that time, a large number of residents in the city of Central Plains died. Afterwards, the country deliberately suppressed it in order not to cause panic. The one who rebuilt the city in that area was our current Prince Sean." Anu said.
A group of people also looked at him.
"It seems you have good news." Lucille praised.
"I have only collected some news about what happened in various regions. This matter was handled very hastily back then, and the Basaran Empire has always been unwilling to disclose the truth. And our prince may be more familiar with it?" Anu said.
His topic reminded Lucille...
That's right.
Sean...it was he who told me not to get involved in anything related to the ancient gods, not even to investigate.
Looking back now, he might have known that the other party was still taking action, and he had the Survey Corps track this matter all these years.
"Anyway, you guys just handle the aftermath. As for how to explain it to the public, that's your business, but I can tell you that this group of people still exists." Lucille said finally.
Just as they were about to leave, Seria suddenly called out to them.
"Wait, Master Elesis."
He paused for a moment and looked back at the princess.
"What's up?"
"You helped us anyway. Please allow me to show some respect as a princess and reward you."
Still talking about awards.
If Lucille loved money, she would have had countless opportunities to acquire it over the years, but she didn't care. These awards were meaningless. Instead, exposing herself to the public would attract countless wizards to challenge her or seek her out as their apprentice.
I don’t have the time to accept disciples.
A Sean...
Suddenly he mentioned his disciple who was a prince.
Had he been doting on him too much over the years? Simply because he shared a name with his mentor and their personalities were somewhat similar, he'd listened to everything he said, rather than demanding he fulfill his disciple's obligations.
"No need. I don't like interacting with too many people, and one of the reasons I saved you was simply because of Sean. But I still want to remind you that this matter is beyond your capabilities. Once what the Ancient Gods believers have planned is realized, what will it mean to this country and even the entire world... You should be clear about it."
"Let's hand this matter over to professionals as soon as possible, otherwise I can't guarantee that I'll have a chance to save you next time."
Lucille's words were so...
The tone is the same no matter who he is talking to, and it can't be changed.
Listen if you like, forget it if you don't like...
"I understand." Seria said firmly.
The next second, Lucille's figure disappeared from the spot and flew towards the coastline.
At this time, the ice had not completely melted, and the frozen monster had been cut into pieces by the noble army and was probably dead.
Why does such a monster appear?
Or why the words I heard during my own corruption sounded so much like Sean's.
Countless questions popped up in my head...
Lucille decided not to stay in the southeast any longer, leaving the rest of the matters to the princess and the others, and she rushed back to the capital to ask Sean for clarification.
……………………
At the same time, in the summer resort outside the capital, Sean was lying naked on the bed, with Frelia busy handing him water.
"What happened to you just now? You must be hiding something from me."
Sean smiled and said nothing.
But in my mind, fragments of things were already flashing through my mind.
