"I remember that the first thing Geresco said was about the location of the battle. Some said that the Dragon of Destruction had suddenly descended on the Tree of Eternity, while others said that the Immortal King had entered the Dragon of Destruction's lair. However, Geresco said that the battle took place in the sky above Roddanmo, the northernmost part of the Breezy Plains … "
The moment Rogge heard the location of the battlefield, he knew that the information that Nefa had heard from Geresco was most likely true. The earth-shattering battle that he had witnessed had taken place in Roddanmo. However, Rogge wasn't too sure if he had unintentionally revealed what Geresco knew.
"The Dragon of Destruction and the Immortal King met in the sky above Roddanmo at the agreed time. They had a short conversation, or rather, a negotiation. However, neither side was willing to make any concessions …"
In order to find the answer that he wanted, Nefa had been pondering over the information that Geresco had given him for the past 1,000 years. At this moment, he did not miss any pauses or changes in his tone when he relayed the information to Geresco.
"When the battle started, the Dragon of Destruction had the upper hand. The nomological power of destruction that he controlled had almost reached the level of annihilating everything. It even destroyed the Immortal King's so-called strongest attack. That was until the Immortal King took out his weapon … "
As Rogge listened to Nefa's narration, he compared the information he knew and recalled the days when he fought alongside Geresco. However, as Nefa's narration deepened, Rogge's pondering expression faded, and it was replaced by an unconcealable shock.
Rogge was shocked to find out that Nefa's narration was even more detailed than what he knew. From the conversation between the Dragon of Destruction and the Immortal King to the changes in the battle, and even the characteristics of the power used by both sides, there were many details that Rogge, a bystander, had no way of knowing.
H-how could this be possible! Rogge could not believe his ears. Did Geresco tell Nefa all this? How could Geresco know more about it than him? After all, he had witnessed everything with his own eyes! Rogge was already certain that the information that Geresco knew about that battle was definitely not leaked by him.
Rogge suddenly realized that he had a great sense of unfamiliarity with Geresco, the partner he had once fought alongside with. If the information that Geresco knew was not leaked by him, then where did he get it from? Geresco was not even born when the battle between the Immortal King and the Dragon of Destruction took place. When Geresco was born, even the Immortal King had disappeared.
Could it be that Geresco had obtained some notes left behind by the Immortal King? However, even notes would not record a battle in such detail. Even the Spacetime Beacon Spell would not be able to compare. Geresco and the Immortal King were two people who had no interactions in life. What kind of unknown relationship did they have?
However, compared to Rogge's shock, Lin Li's expression was much calmer. Although he was listening to an earth-shattering and peerless battle, Nefa's narration was obviously boring. To Lin Li, the battle between the Dragon of Destruction and the Immortal King was not as exciting as the battle between Geresco and the Evil Eye Tyrant that he had seen through the Spacetime Beacon Spell.
In particular, Lin Li did not hear much useful information about the Stars of Fury from Nefa's recount. Although he had expected it, he could not help but feel disappointed. He now had five pieces of the debris of the stars, and the whereabouts of the other two pieces of the debris of the stars were confirmed. The Stars of Fury was the only one he had no clue about. Although the power of the Stars of Fury might not be stronger than the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, it was the best weapon to unleash the power of the debris of the stars. It was undoubtedly important to him.
Back in Osric's mausoleum, Lin Li had thought that the Stars of Fury was in Osric's hands. He did not expect the perfect body to appear with Nothingness, which had turned into a spear. After that, Lin Li searched the crystal coffin, but did not find any trace of the Stars of Fury. All the clues were cut off.
Of course, Lin Li knew that it was almost impossible to find out the whereabouts of the Stars of Fury from such a battle. However, without any clues about the Stars of Fury, Lin Li didn't seem to have any reason to pay attention to this battle. Even if he wanted to learn some experience, it would be better to recall the battle between Rogge and Nefa and the Flame Dragon Lothar.
Seeing that Nefa had finally finished speaking, Lin Li touched his chin, and asked, "Now, you don't have to suppress the power of the Fire Elemental World anymore. The Immortal King and Geresco have already left Anril. How about it? Are you interested in going out for a walk? I don't think Tutankhamun would be so heartless. "
Although he knew that Nefa was not a good person, Lin Li still wanted to rope him in. If he could rope such a Sanctuary powerhouse into the Tower of Dusk, the power of the Tower of Dusk would be too terrifying. Of course, since Lin Li dared to rope him in, he was not afraid that Nefa would cause trouble. He had ways to make this black dragon work for the Tower of Dusk obediently.
"No, although I have regained my freedom and don't have to be tortured by the power of the Fire Elemental World every day, I don't plan to leave this place yet." Nefa did not expect Lin Li to be trying to rope him in. After all, a Legendary-mage trying to rope in a Sanctuary powerhouse to work for him was not something that anyone could think of.
"Are you afraid of Tutankhamun, or are you afraid that I'll settle scores with you when we get out?" Lin Li was puzzled. What was so good about this lousy place? Didn't Nefa say that he wanted to leave this damned place when they were talking in front of the big crack?
"Settle scores with me? I'm afraid you're not there yet. Let's talk about it when you step into the Sanctuary-realm. As for my younger brother, I'm not really afraid of him. " Lin Li's words made Nefa feel a little amused. However, after laughing, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became solemn again. He said, "Of course I want to leave this place, but I have to admit that I really don't dare to leave."
"What you said is a little contradictory." Lin Li was a little confused. This black dragon couldn't have been beaten silly by the Flame Dragon Lothar, right? Why wouldn't he dare to leave even if he wasn't afraid of anything?
Nefa fell silent for a moment, and decided not to hide it from Lin Li. He said, "When I was tricked by Geresco to come here, he told me that if I could return to Anril one day, I would definitely follow in my father's footsteps and die in the hands of the Immortal King."
"He must be joking!" Lin Li was shocked. Although he said that, he knew very well that a person of Geresco's level would not speak casually. Every word he said had a deeper meaning. Although Nefa said that Geresco had deceived him to come here, everything that Geresco had said wasn't a lie. For example, Geresco had asked Nefa to suppress the volcano and told him about the battle.
"I don't want to believe it either, but Geresco had already reached the peak of the Sanctuary-realm at that time, and was only one step away from becoming a god. You should know that powerhouses of that realm can no longer be judged by the standards of mortals. Although that warning was a little absurd, the more absurd it seems to us, the more terrifying the reality is, "Nefa said dejectedly. The seal and Tutankhamun's oath were actually not as powerful as Nefa's words. Just because of that sentence, Nefa had no choice but to stay here obediently without any restrictions.
Although he had not even stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, and was worlds apart from becoming a god, Lin Li did not doubt Nefa's words at all. Didn't the Flame Dragon Lothar laugh at the Dragon of Destruction's prophecy when they were fighting? In fact, everyone knew that the wyrms were indeed chased out of Anril by the High Elves that were nurtured by the Tree of Eternity. The High Elves became the rulers of Anril, and created an unprecedented dynasty.
When they reached the realm of gods, they would be able to truly grasp the changes in the world and understand the flow of time. The world would no longer be mysterious to them. Their casual words were filled with infinite wisdom, and it was not an exaggeration to predict what would happen 1,000 years later. Hence, when Geresco said that Nefa would be killed by the Immortal King if he left this place, he would definitely die in the hands of the Immortal King.
Unfortunately, none of the three present had reached Geresco's realm. Hence, they naturally did not understand Geresco's words. Firstly, the Immortal King had disappeared long before the end of the Dark Age. Otherwise, the High Elves would probably still be the rulers of Anril. It had been thousands of years, and no one knew where the Immortal King had gone. In fact, no one even knew if he was dead or alive. How could he kill Nefa?
"I know why you're so obsessed with finding out the truth of that battle. There's such a sharp sword hanging over your head, and it could fall at any time …" Lin Li's voice was trembling, and he could not help but sympathize with Nefa's fate again. The Immortal King was too ruthless. Lin Li really did not know how the Dragon of Destruction had offended him. Not only did he kill the Dragon of Destruction, he even wanted to ban the descendants of the Dragon of Destruction from entering Anril.
"Old Rogge, it's time to talk about you. What you know wouldn't be the same as what Geresco knows, right?" Nefa looked at Rogge with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"I don't know where Geresco got that information from, but I have to tell you that the information he knows is probably more detailed and complete than what I know. However, since I have promised you, I will tell you what I saw. As for whether it will be useful to you, I don't know. " Rogge shook his head slightly, and stopped thinking about Geresco. His eyes were filled with reminiscence as he slowly talked about the peerless battle in his memory.
During the war at the end of the Dark Age, Rogge's reputation in the Resistance Army was second only to Geresco, who was known as the God of Mages. He was recognized as the strongest mage apart from the God of Mages. However, no one would have imagined that Rogge was not a mage when he was young, but a very ordinary human soldier.
During the Dark Age, when the High Elves ruled Anril, they had never divided the races under their rule into ranks. It was not because all beings were equal, but because in their eyes, other intelligent races were the lowest of all creatures, and they were lowly existences that could be killed without any reason.
In particular, humans, who had short lifespans, were fragile, and had fast reproduction rates, were a kind of flawed creature in the eyes of the High Elves. According to historical records from the Dark Age, there were even High Elven nobles who directly threw the magical beasts they reared into the cities where humans lived just to watch the battle. Fortunately, that kind of scene proved to be not in line with the High Elves' aesthetic standards, and did not really become a popular entertainment for the High Elves.
Even the elves who were the slaves of the High Elves could still obtain a certain status with some contributions, such as the famous Helios Family. However, the so-called powerhouses among humans, be it mages or Warriors, did not have a certain status just because they had a certain level of strength. They were mostly captured by the High Elves and brought to the Tower of Death by the High Elves, where they would engage in endless battles with countless magical beasts for the High Elves to watch until they died. No one had ever been able to come out of the Tower of Death.
Although the High Elves ruled the entire continent, it did not mean that Anril had truly entered an era of peace. However, the reason for the outbreak of war was not because of the conflict of interests between countries, but because the High Elves were playing a kind of chess game. Hence, in that era, an important use of human soldiers was to be the chess pieces of the High Elves. The young Rogge was an extremely ordinary human soldier in an era where humans were as insignificant as ants. The so-called ordinary human soldiers were actually ordinary people who held weapons, and did not know any martial arts or magic. They were also the most suitable chess pieces because they would not affect the High Elves' chess skills.
However, Rogge did not do the work of a chess piece. Instead, he did a job that was even more lowly than a chess piece — that of a sentinel. A sentinel only had to keep watch, and did not have to fight like a chess piece. It seemed to be a good job, but it also depended on where he was a sentinel. The sentry post that Rogge was at was located at the northernmost part of the Breezy Plains. After passing through this sentry post, one would arrive at Roddanmo, which was covered in snow all year round. The place that used to be known as the Land of Ice was now the Dwarf Kingdom.
Although the dwarves were living rather well in Roddanmo now, Roddanmo was definitely not a place that humans could easily set foot in back then, especially when Rogge was a sentinel at that sentry post. Especially during the era when Rogge was a sentry, Roddamer was a famous dangerous place in Anril. Even Legendary powerhouses did not dare to enter it alone.
