Semua Bab The Return of the War Legate: Bab 1841 - Bab 1850

The coffin was covered in a layer of frost. Adrian then recalled that Nicholas had encountered an attack from someone laying a coffin in Mount Shangspar previously. As they neared the coffin, Adrian held Rozi back and warned, "Be careful. One thing I've learned from Enigma City is that whoever's inside a coffin may not be dead, but a zombie.”Rozi nodded and summoned her sword, while Adrian summoned Dragonbane. Every step they took on that mountain was like walking over thin ice. The pair then cautiously approached the coffin.But just then, Mount Shangspar began to shake violently, like a precursor to another volcanic eruption. The pair stopped in their tracks, and the tremors went on for about five minutes before subsiding."Do you think the volcano is going to erupt again?" Rozi asked, looking at Adrian with uncertainty. She now stood less than ten meters away from the coffin.Adrian looked toward Deus, which looked calm and showed no signs of erupting. The volcano had been er

Adrian and Rozi stood before the coffin. The volcanic eruption had melted the ice, revealing the coffin frozen within. The pair carefully examined the crystal coffin with strange runes engraved on it, not a very unusual sight after everything they had witnessed."Where have I seen this before?" Adrian ran his fingers along the runes. Rozi recognized the patterns. "These runes are from my country! They're usually used on our totems.""Nicholas had mentioned that Mount Shangspar was the burial place for some Partingians. Adrian turned to Rozi and asked, "Do you know who this Partingian is?"Rozi, her gaze still on the coffin, felt something pulling her toward it. She gathered her courage and said, "I can't tell who it is without opening it." She glanced at Adrian, seeking his approval.Adrian agreed with a nod and instructed Rozi to step back. "Okay, let's open it and take a look. Stand back. Nicholas was once hurt by something inside a coffin, so whatever is inside is probably som

Now, Adrian was faced with his biggest question, and Dragonking's appearance became a major point of the matter. Neither of the pair knew what Dragonking had experienced or whether he was still alive or not. If he was, would his existence spell disaster for the world or would he bring hope to it? These were distinct issues, each with varying outcomes. Rozi asked, "What should we do now?"Dragonking's appearance made Adrian and Rozi feel uneasy. They could not even determine if this was the same Dragonking they knew.Adrian remained silent for a very long time. He knew he could not allow the corpse to be left unattended in their current situation. He needed to know whether this Dragonking was the same one from Gostia and whether he was still alive."We don't have the luxury to dwell on him right now. We have to seal his coffin and revisit the issue once we get out of Partingia.""All right, let's do that."After all, Dragonking was not their prime objective. Their goal right now

"This is a Partingian-style altar. This was done by my people," Rozi said."It's a meteorite," Adrian noted after observing the altar a little.Rozi was initially puzzled but then noticed the resemblance between the altar and the meteorites. The stones embedded in the heads of the monsters and the altar's material were similar, but the altar did not have those strange runes engraved on it."It does look like meteorites that have been forged and shaped to make this altar. After the Gost emperor was sealed away, the Partingians used the meteorites to do this after I fell into a deep sleep," Rozi said in astonishment.Adrian surveyed the area and commented, “And it's not just the altar. I've also noticed that Dragonking's coffin is made from meteorites as well, and so is everything in here. This is a literal meteorite crater."Rozi was stunned by this revelation. She began observing her surroundings closely. Aside from the wall paintings, she had not noticed anything peculiar. Given

Adrian's theory left Rozi utterly stunned. She had lived in Partingia for many years, completely unaware that beneath the land lay an enormous meteorite. This might reveal the origins of Partingia.Gazing at the craters at their feet, Rozi fell into deep contemplation. After some time, she said, "Everything you've said so far is possible, but do you think the Partingians were involved in Wonder's plan? And if that is so, my father never told me about it. I didn't even know we were coexisting with meteorites." Adrian smiled, thinking that things were getting interesting. It was like a game of chess among the people of the ancient era. And now, he was walking down a path based on the board.He explained, "I thought he was the one who brought the meteorites into existence so that we’d live our lives according to his wishes. But now that I know he had nothing to do with them, I'm more certain that everything that has happened revolves around these meteorites." Rozi thought that Adria
