The powerful general had been complaining since earlier, realizing that there were enemies even more troublesome than monsters.
He casually picked up an ancient book that contained information about the "Sacred Stone".
He had previously heard other historians in the group say that the emblem and the sacred stone seemed to have some connection.
In Valentino, there is an old saying: Fateful encounters are always preordained.
When Kerèse turned to the page about the "Great Stone," a splitting pain shot through her brain.
This time it was more intense than ever before; the time imprints appearing in the hazy hallucinations were becoming clearer, and their duration was shorter. Did this mean that we were on the right track and that we were beginning to see clues?
The Great Sacred Stone, a symbol of the current peaceful era in Valentino, was a sacred stone that was discovered by the world after Elphons' final battle in the capital.
Today, the Great Sacred Stone is housed in the Kingdom Ruins Museum in the holy city of Gransis.
Coincidentally, two days later, Silverwing's airship would also be staying in the Holy City for a while.
The holy city of Gransis is a town steeped in history and bears the scars of that history.
Hundreds of years ago, it served as the capital of the kingdom and was the most prosperous place in the country.
Today, it stands as an ancient city that bears witness to the scars of the kingdom, serving as a warning to the world through the wounds of war.
The evening glow outside the window shone on the yellowed paper, and the first day of my precious holiday came to an end just like that.
Knowing he couldn't miss such a golden opportunity, Keller decided to head to Gransis for further investigation.
-
The Holy City retains less than half the prosperity of its former kingdom days, and is even much quieter than before.
What creates this tranquil atmosphere is none other than the sacred and solemn color that permeates the surroundings and deeply touches people's hearts.
Those who are new to the holy city do not need to go into great depth to understand it; they can feel its profound solemnity simply by looking at the distinctive features of the buildings standing there.
Even though it was only a superficial understanding, it was enough to make a first-time visitor like Kaireser feel great reverence for the holy city of Gransis.
A robust young man, with a traveler's heart set on tourism, strolled through the streets as an ordinary tourist, feeling relaxed and extremely comfortable.
After spending half a day sightseeing, he composed himself and, following the route he had learned while exploring the main street, headed to the Kingdom Ruins Museum.
The museum was originally the royal palace of the Kingdom of Valentino.
It has now been well preserved as an ancient site, and an exhibition hall has been built on the outer layer.
On the one hand, it serves as a newly added tourist attraction, and on the other hand, it is also for the better preservation of historical sites.
The Great Sacred Stone is located at the far end of the exhibition hall, in the "Sealed Room" hidden inside the palace.
Indeed, those who know a little about the history of Valentino probably know that this sealed place is the site of the final battle of Elphons against the last king, Van Rexor, and was formerly known as the "Valentino Sacrifice Site".
It is worth noting that this place is of great significance and profound meaning. The only exit is always heavily guarded by ducal knights, and outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave at will.
Keller, who wears the Duchy's Order and has a certain voice in the Knights' Guild, can exercise his privilege once to enter the inner room and find out the truth with his own personal questions.
With the watchman's permission, Kerese stepped into this place of destiny for the first time.
The extreme devastation inside the room shocked the visitors.
The six walls, ceiling, and floor that could be seen were covered with countless sword marks, claw marks, and curved blade marks created by special wind magic.
The sacrificial implements and even human sacrifices that were once placed here.
Today, it has long since turned into dust in the swirling air, into decaying history. Only because the physical remains have vanished, while the intangible remains. The bloodthirsty aura that has lingered for centuries has not been eliminated, just like the resentment that has accumulated since the fall of the kingdom, which cannot be erased.
Keller's first notice was of the three sharp weapon scratches that covered the visible areas of the room.
This sense of incongruity, which differed from the descriptions in history books, surprised him.
"The final battle between Lord Alphonse and King Vanrexor... Was there a third party besides the two at the sacrificial site?"
As Kaiser was marveling at the discrepancies between historical records and the facts, the knight leading him reminded him, "Sir, this is the Great Holy Stone."
Meeting the Great Sage Stone was the most important purpose of this trip.
Therefore, Kerèse no longer devoted much attention to the kingdom's secret history, which was not very relevant to her.
"The one chosen by Eliviel is the successor to the holy sword Belgard."
...
The voices, seemingly empty yet filled with ominous omens, echoed in Kaireser's ears.
The sound triggered another sharp, splitting headache when it entered the brain.
The buzzing and snowflakes obscured everything around her, leaving only a sudden surge of pain in Kaiser's mind.
He barely opened his eyes, painfully trying to make out the appearance of the sacred stone amidst the gray and white snowflakes.
It was a golden boulder with ancient characters engraved on its surface, its surface smooth with a metallic texture, reflecting the brilliance of the light;
With its sharp edges and regular seven-sided shape, it resembles a man-made sculpture, and is so detailed that it is indistinguishable from the work of a master craftsman.
Such a master craftsman must be either a god from heaven or a devil from the underworld.
"The one chosen by Eliviel is the successor to the holy sword Belgard."
Despite suffering from an extreme headache, Kareser was able to decipher the ancient Elven script inscribed on it.
The words inscribed on the Great Sage Stone were exactly the same as the information conveyed by the mysterious voice they had just heard.
