Adventurer’s Guild third floor, Ceder’s office.
The entire floor, imbued with soundproof magic, was quite quiet. The noise downstairs could not penetrate here, only the assistant Jina’s pen made a "scratching" sound as it rubbed against the paper.
Steeran sat calmly on the sofa, in front of her were steaming red tea and the pieced-together Silver Shield.
"It’s a pity, this shield no longer possesses any magic power. Even if repaired, it would rely be a regular shield."
Ceder shook his head, having listened to Steeran’s recount of the events during the campaign against ["Full Moon Queen"’s Biomitic Tear Drop]. As a magic expert, he naturally had an interest in [Topps Force Field] and the shield embedded with that magic.
Seeing its inability to revive its past power, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret.
However, since painting fragnts could be reacquired, and Steeran had described the thod to obtain them, piecing together a new painting was rely a matter of ti.
Once the new painting was pieced together, Ceder decided to personally venture in and witness what the so-called "Force Field Deflecting Gods" looked like.
Surely, it would be a scene comparable to mythological tales.
At this mont, Jina put down her pen and, while stretching her shoulders, said: "The background information for the new area ’Lake Lienia’ is sorted out."
"Good," Ceder tapped the wooden armrest, "Please read it aloud, I’ll listen."
"Okay." Jina flipped the docunt to the first page and put on her glasses.
"At an unknown point in ti, in a place nad ’Boundary Land,’ the first magicians observed a teor shower on the snow mountain, using it as the origin to comprehend star-related magic, and established the Reyalucaria Magic Academy, governed by the Calia Royal Family."
"The magic brought by the stars harbored danger; excessive contact with the origin of the stars posed risks to magicians, even causing bodily mutations. Magic Masters Yazler and Luset were banished from the academy due to overindulgence in the origin. Their follower, the magician Seren, who likewise chased the origin, was also wanted by the academy."
"The academy grew stronger, the academic faction rose, and the conflicts with the Royal Family increased, finally escalating into war. There’s no knowing who won the war, but since Queen Renala the Full Moon Queen was stationed at the academy, it might indicate the Royal Family’s victory."
"During or perhaps after the war, the academy sealed its gates. No one noticed the ordinary magician nad Topps unable to return."
"One day, a being referred to as the Faded — denoted by Steeran as the White Wolf — t Topps, learned magic from him, and ford a deep bond, eventually finding the key to returning to the academy for him."
"After parting with Topps, the White Wolf encountered Seren and followed him to advance in magic, later breaking through the academy’s barriers to clear Seren’s na. Subsequently, Seren successfully returned to the academy, taking on the role of ntor."
"It was probably during this return that the White Wolf discovered Topps, who had dedicated his life to magic research, and obtained his legendary magic. This enabled the White Wolf to disgrace the academy and, in battle with a presud godly existence, used Topps’s force field to deflect the divine attack, thoroughly proving the greatness of Topps’s legacy."
"Afterwards, the White Wolf beca the unclear ’Elden King,’ and departed with Moon Princess Lanni, taking away Full Moon Queen Renala, leaving no trace behind, ’bringing a mont of peace to this world.’"
"These are the summarized tilines based on the current obtained information, sourced from weapon, equipnt, and magic introductions, ntor’s hat narrations, and ..."
In essence, it amalgamates many fragnted pieces of information, piecing together such a relatively complete tiline.
"There are many doubts within, what Elden King signifies, what peace ans, and what ’that thing,’ repeatedly ntioned behind nurous ntor portraits, actually refers to."
"Isn’t it Topps’s force field?" Steeran said.
But Ceder shook his head, saying: "Regarding the known information, the academy possesses [Calia Return] and [Renala’s Full Moon] techniques to counter magic. If that’s the case, Topps’s force field shouldn’t cause the academy to seclude itself."
"Hence, either it harbors uses unknown to us, or ’that thing’ refers to another existence. I lean towards the latter."
Steeran showed a helpless expression and said: "Researching these matters is genuinely troubleso."
"But that’s where the fun lies." Ceder took a sip of hot tea, saying: "Thank you for your information, and regarding your request... are you truly prepared?"
"My spiritual power is quite strong, go ahead and do it."
Steeran chuckled indifferently and said: "It might sound silly, but I really want the teacher to be fad worldwide. Ahem, I an to make Topps renowned, so people can see what he created. His talent should not end like that."
"With all due respect, empathizing with the imagery in the Painting World may not be a good idea."
"It’s alright, I ’witnessed’ Topps’s story firsthand, and in the end, I gloriously used his power. He is my teacher; I am his student. There’s no issue with that." Steeran stated calmly.
