"Gulp."
The sound of her swallowing echoed in the laboratory. In her memory, there should have been many Arcanists lining up to use the magic circle. But now, there was only her shadow …
She took a few steps back in shock. A few unacceptable guesses popped up in her mind. Then, she ran to the door of the laboratory. But before she could push it open, the door opened by itself.
Silvia was stunned to see Camilla standing at the door. She felt as if she was looking at a High Elf. Camilla's appearance was very similar to a High Elf's, but she still had human blood. The difference in hair color and eyes could not be hidden. Silvia reacted and said sternly, "Human, this is not a place you should be in!"
Although her words were tough, her trembling fingers still revealed her inner panic. Camilla's expression was complicated. Then, she walked into the laboratory without any precaution and closed the door.
"If it's possible, let's sit down and talk, Magician Silvia."
Camilla gestured with her hand. "You can call me Camilla. I have High Elf blood in me, so I can be considered half a High Elf. "
Camilla's pure High Elf language and subsequent explanation cleared up Silvia's previous doubts. After all, humans had been deliberately separated by the High Elves 700 years ago. More than 99% of humans had never come into contact with High Elves, let alone speak High Elf language. However, "half-elves" were the only exception, so she did not feel any resentment.
However, Camilla's calm yet oppressive aura made Sylvia feel uncomfortable. But when she thought of the questions she had, she decided to put away her superiority and arrogance. She hesitantly sat opposite Camilla and asked, "Then … Half-elf, can you tell me what's going on? What's the date now? Has the Beastmen's attack ended? "
Camilla knew that the "Beastmen's attack" was referring to the war 700 years ago before the Time Cycle was activated, and not the silly green-skinned barbarians. So, she calmly asked, "Then please allow me to ask a question, Magician Silvia. When is the last day that you remember? "
"The 21st of the new Fire Month."
Sylvia replied with a frown. She remembered writing in her diary that day, complaining that the waves of Orcs' attacks never stopped, so she had some impression of it.
"Then … which year is the new moon of fire?"
This question stunned her. "Which year? Uh … Buno Calendar Year 1302. Why do you ask? "
Camilla blinked, looked at her, and slowly replied, "It's year 590 of the Elon calendar. If it's calculated according to the Buno calendar, it should be 2021."
"2021? Isn't there a difference of 719 years? This … "
Her answer struck Silvia as if she had been struck by lightning. Nobody would believe that a dream of seven hundred years could happen to them. Therefore, she did not take Camilla's words seriously at all. She stood up and gathered arcana brilliance in her hands. "That's impossible! This is a scam! What Eron calendar … You must be a half-elf spy who broke into Elson! I advise you to tell me the truth! "
Feeling that the arcane power was as comfortable as before, Sylvia felt a lot more relieved. However, before she could say anything, Camilla, who was sitting on the chair in front of her, raised her hand and pressed down. The "Arcane Binding" that was almost completed collapsed into a purple light on the spot …
"Elemental Elimination! You … "
Silvia was scared out of her wits and took a few steps back. To be able to interrupt a spell from afar without creating any magical waves, this was already comparable to Master Cadgar's power. Could it be …
She suddenly reacted and asked with a trembling voice, "What … is your relationship with Turing?"
"Turing has been destroyed, but you're right. My duties now are similar to Turing's."
Camilla pointed at the chair in front of her. "Sit down. I'm afraid we have a lot to talk about."
"I don't … I don't believe it …" Silvia shook her head and took a few steps back. "How could Turing be destroyed? That was Master Cadgar's most satisfactory work … That was the hope of the High Elves! It was our guardian! "
"Hope? Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Sorcerer Silvia. Haven't you realized that you're already dead? "
Camilla calmly described the cruel reality, breaking through Silvia's last line of defense. "It's not just you. The High Elves have already perished in the war against the Beastmen. Up until now, there are no direct descendants left. And the one who killed you in Elson City is none other than the 'guardian' Turing that you speak of. "
At this time, Silvia found that she did not know what to say. She looked around helplessly and found that her chest that should be heaving up and down was not moving at all. Her body was like a pool of stagnant water. There was no breathing, no heartbeat. It was cold and despairing.
"Cadgar activated the 'Time Cycle' barrier and sealed the entire Elson City for 718 years. It was only when the barrier disappeared last year that we discovered that all the High Elves in the city had died. But the death was not the main point. All the dead High Elves were controlled by Turing and became his puppets. We put in all our effort to destroy Turing and fulfilled Wizard Cadgar's last wish. "
Camilla looked at the real High Elves in front of her and sighed. The "Holy Union" that she was once a part of claimed to be the descendants of the High Elves and was dedicated to restoring the glory of the High Elves' Arcane Art. However, their overly extreme thinking made them unable to achieve much. These "descendants" who were stuck in their old ways would never have thought that there would actually be survivors of the High Elves in this world.
Although Silvia was technically an "Undead", if she had recovered all her memories, she would not just be a simple High Elf Magician. She would also be the "seed" left behind by the High Elves!
A civilization that had completely surpassed the times seemed to have fallen in a single day. What was the reason for this? The answer was probably in Silvia's memories.
Silvia's expression was now a little numb. She felt that her brain could not even analyze what Camilla had said. As Camilla spoke, she realized that everything matched up with her previous "dream". After being resurrected as an Undead, she and her former Magician companions had experienced many battles. And this time, they had even faced the attack of a demon …
No matter how numb she was, it could not compare to the instinctive analysis in her brain. As a Magician, Silvia was not a fool. After Camilla finished speaking, she had basically confirmed that Camilla had not made up anything. However, confirmation was one thing, and acceptance was another.
She hugged her head and slowly squatted against the wall. Her eyes filled with despair, she murmured, "Why is it like this … Why did it choose me …"
