Chapter 545 Demon Extermination Operation Estella picked up the teapot on the table, poured herself another cup of tea, moistened her throat, and continued to explain.
"No one knows who created this terrifying magic circle, or what their purpose was in creating it."
"Back then, when no one knew the power of this magic circle, many magic scholars studied it."
"By the time the president of that generation of the Magic Association discovered the power of this magic circle, it was too late to stop its spread."
"Although the Magic Association has clearly informed the entire continent of the terrifying nature of this magic circle, there are always people who study it in pursuit of ultimate power."
"It is like a beautiful rose with deadly thorns, constantly attracting every magician."
"It was because of this that the 'demon-slaying operation' was triggered."
"That knowledge extermination operation targeting mages, although cruel in its methods, was indeed effective in erasing the information about the Nine-Pointed Dead Star World Destruction Array."
Renn listened attentively as Estella recounted these stories about ancient times.
These events were only briefly mentioned in the Empire's most authoritative library, with no detailed accounts of the events.
But the elves are different. As a long-lived race, they are the race on the continent with the most complete knowledge and history.
"Is this demon-slaying operation the reason for the current decline in mages?" Raine asked.
Estella shook her head: "No, the demon-slaying operation only erased the knowledge of the world-destroying array from the mages' minds, and did not cause any harm to the individual mages."
"The reason why the mages are dying out, as you mentioned, is not recorded in the Elven race. It's as if that part of history has been erased."
Just then, a voice echoed in Raine's mind.
"Master, would you like to know that history? I can tell you."
The spirit of the Book of History bowed slightly to Renn in his spiritual world, lifting the hem of his skirt.
Upon hearing the voice of the Book of History's spirit, Renn was visibly taken aback.
He had forgotten about the history book and thought to himself, "I'll wait until tonight."
“Yes, my master.” The spirit of the Book of History nodded.
The matter of the history book was just a minor episode. Rein came back to his senses and continued listening to Estella's account of the Pentagram Dim Star Annihilation Array.
Estella: "Although the knowledge of that terrifying magic circle was effectively erased through the demon-slaying operation, there were always some that slipped through the net."
"After further research, they discovered that although this magic circle was powerful enough to destroy the world, the conditions for its construction were too demanding."
"Therefore, after their research, the next level of the Dim Pentagram Annihilation Array was created."
"While it may not be enough to destroy the world, it can easily wipe out a region's life for a century, which is why it is listed as one of the third-class forbidden magic arrays."
Estella solemnly warned, "I know you have exceptional magical talent, Renn, but if you actually use this magic circle, you will be making an enemy of the entire continent."
"After all, this magic circle is different from other forbidden magic; its superior magic circle is too frightening."
"I hope you can forget about this magic circle, as if you've never seen it."
Estella's words made Renn, who was sitting on the sofa, lower his head and ponder.
In Raine's mental world, the book spirit pouted after hearing Estella's explanation and whispered.
"How was I supposed to know that this magic circle had so many forbidden stories behind it..."
Raine rolled his eyes at the book spirit but didn't complain. After all, the Book of Arts' ability was to acquire magical structures, and it didn't care about how magic came about.
Raine finished his tea and sighed softly.
