Chapter 115: Ancient Book
Sylvia watched until Elysia walked out of the room and closed the door. She then turned to look at her father with a disgruntled and unsatisfied face.
"Father, why are you so stubborn and stupid? You want to give Ais so punishnt with your real power? You want to silence her, make her obedient? You forgot our aim, right? See earlier, even with Emperor class body resistance, you can easily be thrown by Ais." Sylvia sat on the bed and looked at her father. She really felt relieved everything was fine.
"Everything about that girl nad Ais is completely incomprehensible. She is just a weak human girl, but her power output is great, and I just confird it. I'll do what I think is necessary, and you sotis won't understand what I am trying to achieve." Dylan put back the barrier in the room and didn't feel anything wrong with his previous actions.
Vengeance failed, and he just needed to do sothing different. Despite that, he also beca interested in that human girl who seed to be a Human Emperor unknown to mankind and the world.
"If I sotis don't understand what you are trying to achieve, now please let know. You almost offended a Human Emperor who defeated you twice so easily... If the conflict broke out and got worse, I would be the first victim in the first round." Sylvia looked gloomy.
She just didn't understand, and she only knew her father was a fool who sotis just solve everything with force and violence.
"Try to think back to when we first t Ais, who is now your new friend. She clearly saw the aura of our magic energy that has not been disguised, heard your warning words to , or maybe our conversation while still in the sky. Ais has a power that has been disguised, and I just confird that." Dylan explained what was on his mind, so his daughter would think critically from her perspective.
"So, the first ti you were defeated by Ais. You just thought it was just a dirty trick and trying to get back at her actions here, father?" Sylvia seed indifferent to it and entered the main point.
"Hmm... Silencing eyewitnesses who might cause harm to us is a precautionary asure, but right now, I have other thoughts." Dylan didn't answer directly to his daughter's question, and the latter took it as a yes.
"Other thoughts? Like what? Surprisingly, Ais is an unknown Human Emperor who does not have a prejudice against devils? She is also kind and not vindictive." Sylvia paused for a mont then looked outside the window before continuing their conversation.
"You know, father... Ais could have given you a harsher punishnt with her mysterious powers. Still, she didn't do it and only gave a light punishnt in self-protection."
She had guessed that her friend was at Emperor level with the sa level or higher than her father. She assud it just because Ais could easily repel her father's defensive magic and defeated him twice!
"Yes, those are so of the factors I'm considering right now. The first female Human Emperor I have ever known. She just wants to watch over us even without your invitation. She also doesn't need to use dirty thods with her power. Only weak people will use sches and craftiness." Dylan walked over and stood beside his daughter.
"Do you feel calm and relieved now, father? Then, don't intimidate her again, she will fight back, as she said earlier, and I don't think it will be light. We'll just have an adventure and have fun, right? Not a special secret mission." Sylvia turned sideways and looked into her father's eyes.
"Yes, apart from the side mission of the search for the missing Human Emperor, that bastard nad Magnus Walsh, we're just going to go on adventures and fun things you want." Dylan nodded once.
"Yes! That's good. I don't want things like this to happen again. If Ais is an ordinary girl, she will definitely suffer in your hands, but unfortunately, this is the opposite. Isn't my luck excellent, as I said before we left, father? My first friend was a Goddess of the outside world, and my second friend is an unknown Human Emperor hehe..." Sylvia returned to her cheerful self, along with her lovely smile.
She couldn't keep blaming her father because no matter what, and after all, he was still her father. As long as he understood what she ant, then it would be fine.
"Humph! You talk happily, maybe it's true that your luck is good... Do you rember the item your friend found in the lake? A gold emblem with an intricate symbol in the shape of a diamond and the faint wing symbol of ancient rune inscriptions engraved there?" Dylan snorted when he saw his daughter's smug expression.
"What's wrong with that golden emblem, father? Was there sothing hidden behind it? You said you didn't know it at the ti." Sylvia started to get curious.
"Well, she asked it, but I don't want to answer her. It seems she also doesn't know anything, and it was found accidentally when the white tiger was diving in the water."
"Do you know anything about the golden emblem and want to share it with your daughter, father? I'm good at keeping secrets, trust ." Sylvia smiled with renewed joy.
"The symbol on the gold emblem bears the sa markings as those in the ancient books on lost and forgotten world history. I only have one book with ancient script encryption that can only be decoded on the initial sheet, and for the rest was faded with age." Dylan took out a book from his [Space Bag], a very ancient grimoire, and it looked fragile.
Next, he turned to the first page and showed his daughter the sa symbol engraved on the gold emblem his daughter's friend had found in the lake.
"You are right, father. This insignia painting is the sa as the gold emblem. Is there any aning behind this? What does this first page say? I cannot read the ancient language and do not really understand written history. Please enlighten your lovely daughter, father." Sylvia looked at the grimoire her father had shown to her and then looked up with a plea. Now, she wanted to know more about it.
"Hmm... What was written on the first legible page was..."
[The vast world's origins covered in beautiful skies will be planted and rembered by the fertile land, the high mountain, the lush forest, and the deep water.
Vrelenia was given by the divine as the na for the world we live in.
Nobody will know to whom history was written, and all of them probably won't know what has been buried with age.
Our stories and struggles may be forgotten, and history will be lost, but we are writing this with the hope that it will return.
Life only cos and goes. We are here to fight on behalf of the world from various forms of life without fear of dying.
The land was crumbled, mountains turned upside down, forests lit red, and oceans stained with thick ink.
Many souls have drifted to other realms within seconds, and the bodies that perish have no regrets.]
"Hum, I can only read that far. The next page and so on, it can't be helped at all. So, Sylvia, do you know why I'm telling you this? You need to know, I kept this secret, and until now, no one has known that I have this ancient book." Dylan looked at the next page and returned to the first page, then he looked at his daughter with a firm expression.
"The contents of this ancient book are like wordplay, rhys, poetry? There is no history of more than ten thousand years ago. The lost history... No one knows when the recorded events took place, but it must have been so chaotic..." For a mont, Sylvia muttered while digesting the entire writing, quite deeply after her father read the ancient book's first page.
"Ah! Regarding your question, father. You are telling this classified information... Is it because the gold emblem was found by Ais in the lake created from Ely's battle against another God? So, you want to go there to explore tomorrow morning with ?" Sylvia erged from her contemplation. She asked with the guess that seed the most correct.
"Yes, exactly. Keep this a secret, and don't let anyone know. We don't know what has happened in lost history and what might affect the world in the present." Dylan nodded lightly in confirmation.
This first page introduced the signs of disaster or doomsday, but who they were fighting against, and who was 'we' in this ancient book's writings.
Many questions arose afterward about what really happened when it happened, who was involved, who was opposed, and more... But it remained a mystery.
Sylvia also understood that, just like her father. That was only one page, so what about the other pages? What if there were other ancient books? Wouldn't there going to be so related books?
"Father, have faith in . We will also leave early tomorrow morning before going to the guild. I am also curious hehe... Does this ancient book have a volu or number series?" Sylvia needed to confirm her assumptions. At this ti, she began to be interested in ancient history.
"There is a number three in ancient writing on the cover. This is volu 3." Dylan closed the ancient book and then put it back into his [Space Bag].
