Semua Bab The Return of the War Legate: Bab 1851 - Bab 1860

"Looks like my guess about Partingia being built on top of meteorites was correct." Adrian could now verify his first deduction.He said, "It's all very clear now. Partingia disappeared because he found out about the meteorite's existence, so he conjured an entire snowy mountain to bury the country.""But why didn’t he take the meteorites instead? Why did he only freeze them within the mountain?" Rozi asked curiously. Adrian shook his head, not knowing the answer to her question. Still, he speculated, "There are two possible reasons. First, he did want to take the meteorites, but couldn't. So, he buried this place using the snowy mountain as he didn't want anyone else taking the meteorites. The second possibility is that he had tried to reset Partingia but failed because of the meteorites' powers. Hence, he could only seal this place.”Rozi wanted to find answers as soon as she could. She stood up from the altar and said, "Speculation is of no use to us right now. You should inste

There was no response. The tunnel remained eerily silent, and Rozi's increasing worry was reflected on her face. She would have heard Adrian sliding down since the sounds he made would have been clearly audible. Adrian had only jumped down seconds after her, so he should have arrived by now."Adrian? Adrian!"Rozi called out several times, but it was as if Adrian had vanished into thin air. This unnerved her greatly. She then attempted to enter the tunnel opening but found that she could not use any of her abilities. Her sword could not be summoned, and she felt no different from an ordinary person. She was unable to enter the meteorite opening as if it repelled her efforts. Gravitational pull seemed stronger here too."Adrian… A…"Something strange was happening to Rozi as she continued to call out. Her vision started to blur, and she felt drowsy as if an irresistible sleepiness was taking over. She felt as though she had been hit with anesthesia. The drowsiness would not go away

"You're a liar, Nova, just like your father!"Miguel and a few young boys surrounded Nova, pointing and shouting at her. They were not the first to make such claims. Many had speculated that Adrian was swayed by the Creator and was secretly enjoying his life somewhere. They painted him as a traitor. Otherwise, why had he not shown himself for five years?"Get lost!" Nova grew angry and tears streamed down her face. She had never seen her father, but she did not want anyone talking bad about him either.Nova shoved Miguel aside and ran out of the classroom, crying.Elayne, who was late to the scene, called out, "Nova! Wait!" But the little girl did not stop and ran out of the school gates. Elayne scowled at Miguel and the others."How could you do such a thing to Nova? Her father isn't a liar. He's a hero.""My father said her father's a liar who tricked all of us into being hopeful. Why haven't we been able to contact him if he isn’t a liar?" Miguel retorted."What?!" Elayne c

Steel had taken Nova under his wing since she was three and trained and tutored her in various fields every day. They covered things like combat training, astronomy, geography, how to wield weapons, and various complex academic subjects.He did all this because he cared for the girl very deeply. Putting aside the fact that she was Adrian's daughter, Nova was remarkably intelligent and quickly picked up on various skills.***Huff! Huff! Huff!Nova, who was assuming a military stance, had been practicing her combat skills on the headquarter's training grounds for ten minutes. She was practicing Herculean Boxing, a powerful technique from Wyvern Peak that Adrian had mastered at twenty years old.The little Nova had already mastered half of the technique in just three years. Punches flew, and Nova worked up a good sweat. Due to her pent-up emotions, her strikes on the training dummy increased minute after minute. Finally, with a loud crack, the dummy broke in half.Huff! Huff! Huf

The children learned about Sir Draco and new information filled their minds. They were highly curious about him, but that was when school was declared to be over for the day. The children returned home, and so did Nova. "Mom, Mom!" Nova called out as she excitedly ran into the kitchen. Samantha, who was preparing dinner, was a bit surprised. She knelt down to hold Nova's shoulders. "What's going on, darling?"Nova, with puffed-up cheeks, said, "Ms. Helen taught us something new today.""What about?" Samantha replied.Nova asked with a hopeful expression, "Mom, do you know Sir Draco? Ms. Helen said he's an amazing person who protected us."Samantha felt comforted when she heard this from her daughter. However, upon recalling her prior conversation with Steel, she knew she had no choice but to hide the truth from Nova. As she continued to smile and stroke Nova's head, Samantha said, "Of course, I do. He's the most amazing man in the world. He not only protected me but you too."
