“It’s an honor to meet you.”
Grey wanted to pretend to be calm, but he couldn’t. His heart pounded like he was a young boy again.
With trembling eyes, he looked up at Frey, the Great Mage who had made unprecedented achievements in the study of Magical Science.
‘Anyone who understood mana would be excited.’
His heart trembled violently just by making eye contact.
Frey looked at the man who currently possessed his own body before saying.
“I need your help. Can you lend me your strength?”
“I will do whatever you say.”
He said these words without even needing to think.
Grey’s firm belief in Frey could be clearly seen in his eyes.
“I’ve long dreamed of something like this happening. That the Great Mage, who suddenly disappeared, was still alive and had returned to defeat the Demigods… Haha. It was like a fairy tale that even little children would not believe possible…”
“The truly unbelievable things only happen in real life. You have wisdom that befits your age, so I’m sure you already know this.”
“Of course I do.”
Frey looked at Grey for a moment before speaking.
“By the way, why did you give yourself the surname Trowman?”
“Ah… pardon my discourtesy.”
“I’m not against it. I’m just curious.”
This was the truth.
Frey was not a noble. So naturally, he didn’t have any pride in his bloodline. He had no objections to someone using his last name unless it was a despicable person.
“If I think about it simply, I believe you took my last name out of respect…”
“That is naturally one of the reasons.”
“So there are other reasons.”
“Huhu. That’s right. It is also because I, Grey Trowman, am the successor to the Great Mage’s path in the truest sense.”
“…”
This was a statement that he couldn’t understand.
Naturally, there were many Wizards whom Frey had ‘taught’, but he didn’t have a ‘direct disciple’ among them who had received everything.
As if he knew that, Grey nodded.
“Of course, I know that the Great Mage didn’t have any direct disciples. But a book containing the essence of your path was passed down.”
“…a book?”
Frey’s eyes narrowed.
A book containing his essence. He had never written anything of the sort.
Grey laughed bitterly.
“Of course, you might not know about it. It is a book written by those who were taught by you at least once and were greatly impressed by your teachings… You thought that you were just guiding the lost, but for them, you were their lifelong teacher.”
“…”
“My master’s master… No, even long before my master’s master, we were able to decipher the teachings in the book. And many were able to reach 9 stars because of that book.”
When he heard that, Frey recalled something.
“There is an organisation called Paragon in the modern era. They mentioned 10 stars to me. And they seemed convinced that it was real. They said… that they read it in the Great Mage’s… my book.”
When Grey heard that, he pondered for a moment.
He had never thought deeply about the 10 stars level, nor did he recall leaving it in a book.
But if the authors of the book were truly Grey’s ancestors and descendants, then the missing pieces could be interlocked.
“May I ask the name of the person who owns the book?”
“Cairo Wilsemann.”
“Wilsemann! Then he must be a descendant of the Great Sage. In that case, I’m certain. They have always had a close relationship with us in the past.”???????????????????????????? ????o????
“…by that you mean…”
“Exactly.”
Grey nodded, saying.
“After your ‘death’, we never once neglected our re
This was a power unique to Dragons that was neither magic nor divine power.
Then how was this transcendent power expressed? How could a combination of words released through speech have such an effect on the fabric of reality?
They explored.
They explored for thousands of years.
Even someone with an extremely long lifespan would not have been able to achieve such a feat.
Frey dared to affirm this.
He believed that this achievement was only possible because it was done by humans.
‘Our lives are short.’
Even if they reached the highest level, they would rarely be able to surpass 200 years. But they were able to fiercely live each moment to the fullest because they knew that death could arrive at any moment.
They could burn their souls as though the present was their last. They could run constantly, and even if they couldn’t achieve their goal in the end, they could die laughing. Because their will, desire, and achievements would all be inherited.
And they believed that their future generations would be able to complete the mission that they couldn’t.
If not the next one, then the next after that.
It kept stacking and stacking. And eventually, the pile of leaves would become trees.
“The power of beginning. Ether.”
[…!]
Lord showed a rare look of surprise.
This was because he didn’t expect Frey to suddenly mention this power.
“The Dragons used Dragontongue to communicate with the ‘ether’. The power that forms the foundation of the world. This law, which only operated of its own will, responded to the Dragons’ voices… Probably because they were given the role as the balance of the Continent from the beginning.”
However, it was pointless to imitate them. Dragontongue was certainly powerful, but in the end, it was defeated by the Demigods’ divine power.
“We couldn’t handle that power. So I found a new law. I decided to communicate with the law I was most familiar with instead of ether.”
Mana.
