The first generation of the Earth's acolytes; The Great Sage from the East, the Northern Shaman, the Beast King of the West, Izta the Gilgash, and Enkidu; all of them were heroes of their era in Earth's history.
However, unknown to the existing historical texts, they were all just ordinary young warriors if they were compared to the great King Anu, the First King, who was the founders of Earth's civilization.
At the mont, Fuxi was explaining to Klea the history of Earth two thousand years ago..
She, who had always had a great curiosity about history, listened intently to the words of the Eastern Sage for this was a part of the missing history. One which couldn't even be found in the Great Library of Alexandria. Most of them disappeared from the world in the great deluge that covered the entire Earth.
"We don't really know what happened either. All five of us were in the academy at that ti. When we returned, the king was dead and the Babylonian Empire was no more."
The death of King Anu, who was the official proxy of the Nephilim at that ti, paved the way for the Kronos faction to beco the caretakers of Earth . Although there were irregularities in the exchange of power, Izta, who was the king's nephew, refused to investigate further.
"The king's body was buried along with his mysteries, sealed up and the existence of the tomb was obscured by the great flood that ca after."
The Eastern Sage indeed once found the entrance of the tomb. However, at that ti he was still just a simple acolyte. He wished to return when he beca a magus, but he had never been able to with Kronos blocking the way.
Fuxi then stretched out his hand and showed Klea a bronze amulet. It was normal at first glance, but Klea noticed it had a peculiar symbol of two engraved crescents opposite each other, which was the symbol of the house of Uranus.
"I didn't really like the idea of desecrating the king's tomb, but desperate tis call for desperate asures."
Hearing the story and what the Eastern Sage just said, Klea quickly deduced what he was planning to do. "Senior, you're looking for evidence that might help us take down Kronos, aren't you?"
Even though Klea preferred to beat the Kronos through a show of strength, that didn't an she would reject other alternatives, especially if it aligned with their goals. After all, it could potentially be a fail-safe card for unforeseen troubles.
With that being said, the two of them quickly began her training. Closing her eyes, Klea mustered her focus and followed the Eastern Sage's guidance to further improve her spirit reading abilities.
Being soone who was not proficient in light elents himself, Fuxi taught her how to use the elent combination as a thod to strengthen her soul.
Aside from that, Klea also needed to learn the [Soul Tempering ditation] technique. Hence, she went to buy all three books. Since she wasn't a privileged acolyte, she had to pay almost double the price they were sold for on the privileged planet.
During her days of training, more people ca to visit the Terra Palace: Gerri the Violet Fla along with so other acolytes. They had co to bid their farewell as they were going back to their respective planets.
Terra Palace was also visited by people from Zodiac City, specifically Heorgar the Demon Wolf, who ca with several White Fang mbers, who were close to Ery.
Everyone who visited the Terra Palace mostly ca to see Ery, except for one. A young noble from a renowned faction, Anas of the Kaleos. He had co to check on Klea's situation and convey his gratitude for saving his life.
"My planet Kaleos will be forever open if you ever need my help."
…
After a month, the news that confird her return finally ca out. It was finally ti to pack up everything she needed.
Throughout the last month, the teams dispatched from the Apothecary Institute had tried their best to maintain Ery's body in its pri condition. In fact, Master Dulin even donated an advanced dical tube that could preserve his body for tens of years if needed.
Klea had also obtained the necessary permission to visit Hyperion planet, where she brought Twik and the four Chizpur brothers back to Ery's spirit cave so they could reunite with the other plant creatures.
Patting the small bundles of joy, Klea smiled fondly and spoke with conviction.
"I promise I will bring your master back."
"Kuang kuang ku ku."
Returning to the Terra Palace from Hyperion planet, Klea was welcod by the farewell feast Magus Rosia and the others had prepared for both her and the Eastern Sage.
The Eastern Sage decided to take his adopted daughter on another long journey. This ti to fix the broken pieces of the Tier 6 [Array formation Flag] and look for the missing sets to further increase its power. As for Chumo, the female magus of Terra Palace, especially the youngest Yuria, promised they would monitor his progress closely.
The feast lasted until morning the next day and ended with a toast.
"To see each other again in seven years."
A ship had waited for Klea at noon in the Golden city and she departed right away with Ery lying inside the tube.
******
Unbeknownst to her or anyone from Terra Palace, two figures were watching the ship from a distance.
The middle aged man spoke politely to the person next to him, "Senior, I still think we shouldn't let them go like this. I wasn't sure before, but even though the elves tried to hide such a shaful day, I managed to find out that it was indeed a Star-devouring beast."
The old man with a long white beard next to him seed to think for a mont before saying, "Delbrand, It's best that no one finds out about this. Besides, returning ho is the only path for him."
With a smile on his face, the old man spoke as his gaze fixed on the ship that was becoming smaller and smaller. "I hope I can live long enough to see what that young man will beco in the future."
After saying such words, the old man casually turned around and said, "Co on, The council has approved our proposal for the new kind of academy. There will be a lot of work for us to do from now on."
