Turning Chapter 529

Chapter 529

Ah Research continued even after this point.

Yuder quickly flipped through the pages, skimming their contents.

The author had presented his research anonymously and seed to have attempted various magic experints. However, the tales woven from archaic jargon and complex magical terminology didn't particularly interest Yuder. Even if sothing important was hidden among those lines, he believed that Enon would probably be better at discerning it than he was.

Enon would get mad if he heard say that, but oh well

Unabashedly, he continued reading until he reached the last page.

There, a few hasty sentences were scribbled.

Suffering from a terminal illness brings forth various regrets. Although my research yielded practical gains, it did not clearly provide the answers I sought. After my father's death, the only one who held the sa questions was my Spiritual father. What did he gain? Where is he now after leaving Gyllandr Hill with the scripture

I leave this here because I believe he may return soday. If it's him, he'll undoubtedly decipher everything written here.

With those telling lines, the research journal ca to a close. Kishiar had also added his own notes at the end, writing, "Gyllandr seems to be a word from an ancient language, but its precise aning is unclear. The last sentence is entirely in archaic script, and the ink is smudged; the reason for this is unknown."

" Archmage Luma disappeared from the Empire a few years after the death of the First Emperor. Though he is said to have had little to do with temples or faith, the truth is unknown. Thus, the part about him leaving with the scriptures is sowhat enigmatic."

Could the scriptures symbolize sothing else? He pondered but couldn't co up with an answer. However, another phrase caught Yuder's attention more than anything else: After my father's death.

Who else could be the father of the first Duke Tain, if not the famous Founder and First Emperor of Orr?

"It's hard to imagine how the death of the First Emperor could impact both this research and Archmage Luma, but I suppose it's worth looking into."

He wondered if this was the sa matter that Enon had been concerned about.

The first Duke Tain, who sought the origins of monsters. Luma, who researched ti reversal. Their enigmatic confrontation, and the First Emperor of Orr. Nas from a past that should have no relation to Yuder Aile, who was living a thousand years later.

Yuder stared at the last page laid out before him and finally closed the book. It was then that he noticed a very faint imprint on the blank back page.

What's this?

Focusing his eyes, he saw that the imprint was left by a pen tip that hadn't been inked. As he traced it with his gaze, his eyes abruptly halted.

"Yuder."

Yuder Aile.

The mont he realized that the faint imprint spelled his na, an indescribable sensation surged through him, making his blood rush and his heart pound furiously.

The markings were in Kishiar's handwriting, albeit in a different language. Yuder gently touched the spot where his own na was written with the tip of a dried ink pen. He imagined the man who had written his na one character at a ti after completing the translation.

A neat repetition, but a scribble that would be invisible unless one paid close attention.

As he felt the texture through his fingertips, he was reminded of Kishiar's voice calling out to him. At the sa ti, it was as if a small current sparked through him.

"..."

Yuder briefly lifted his finger, then furrowed his brow and lowered his head.

Kishiar had written this translation while Yuder had left for a few hours under the pretext of eting Enon. Imagining him writing it down as he waited for Yuder's return, and even inscribing Yuder's na in an unnoticeable spot with any ti he had left, made it impossible for Yuder to repress his sentintal feelings without biting his lip.

Especially when he considered that in so way, the waiting continued even now.

Yuder thought of Kishiar's red eyes, which prioritized Yuder over any other questions or waiting. He then took a deep breath and made up his mind.

'Enon told to co soon... It wouldnt matter if that ant today, would it?'

"You looked busy; I thought you'd co a few days later. What brings you so quickly?"

"I just finished reading the translation the Commander gave , so I was curious."

"Hmm. Alright. Co in."

Enon's room in the Cavalry was located right next to the dical division. It was an optimal location to both take care of severely injured patients and sense the presence of unexpected visitors at any ti.

As Yuder entered the room, which slled strongly of dried herbs, he got straight to the point.

"Did you find anything about the journal?"

"If you've read it all, you'd know. It's because of what's written at the very end."

Enon fetched the original journal and opened it. He pointed to the last page.

"First, this. Gyllandr Hill. I know where it is."

"What?"

"Its the na of the house where Luma stayed while conducting his research. To be precise, it was until I woke up."

Enon nonchalantly revealed the identity of Gyllandr Hill, ignoring Yuder's rarely altered expression as he continued speaking.

"I was planning to go there soon anyway. Thought there might be sothing useful."

"Can you go?"

"I can. Dont ask for details. Next, look at this."

"Why this section?"

This ti, Enon pointed to the sentence, "If its him, he would naturally understand whats written here."

"This part is written in enchanted ink. Its obscured by multiple layers of illusions, Luma-style. Unless you know Lumas magic well, like , you won't be able to understand it."

"Ah"

It then occurred to Yuder that Kishiar had noted that he could not figure out why that particular sentence was written in a hazy and complex manner.

"The Commander had also marked that sentence as strange."

"Really? Hes not deeply schooled in magic, yet he noticed that?"

Enon's expression changed very oddly before he scowled.

"Ah, whatever. Anyway, when you break it down, it reveals this."

As Enon brushed the sentence in a peculiar way, claiming that even though he couldnt perform magic, he could decode this, new text appeared on the previously blank page beside it. At a glance, it seed to be quite a significant amount, covering multiple pages.

The journal appeared to be left unfinished, as if its author had died before using up all the paper. As it turned out, however, there was morehidden in the empty pages.

"After a certain amount of ti, it will disappear, so it won't last much longer. The guy who wrote this journal left his thoughts freely penned before he died. From my perspective, this is what really matters to you."

The tension sharply escalated upon hearing these words.

"What does it say?"

"You may recall I once ntioned that maybe Luma began his research after encountering soone like youa person who could travel back in ti. Do you rember?"

"I rember."

"If we assu that everything written here is based on facts, then that person might have been the First Emperor of this land."

It was a shocking statent. Yuder recalled the writings of the first Duke Tain, who wrote that after his fathers death, he and his spiritual father, his ntor, had been wondering the sa thing. Yuder slowly opened his mouth.

"You're saying the First Emperor might have been like ? How? Are you sure?"

"I can't guarantee its accuracy. What's important is that it seems both the author of this journal and Luma believed so."

The revelation felt so unrealistic, so absurd, as it was utterly unexpected.

'I almost want to ask if I've read sothing wrong.'

However, Yuder cald himself, realizing that his own experiences would sound no less implausible to others.
