Chapter 166: Four Pillars Of Ulterra

Chapter 166: Four Pillars Of Ulterra

After a few hours of walking around the kingdom of Erela, Leal decided to bring me to another hilltop. But at least this time, this one did not have statues in it. It was just a simple hilltop where we could see the beautiful view of the forest beneath.

As I turned my gaze to Leal, I found him staring at the cliff far away from our location but still visible. It's a very stiff cliff located at the boundary of the kingdom and the vast forest. For some reason, there was something on that cliff that made Leal look nostalgic as if that place made him remember something.

"What's in that place?" I asked out of curiosity.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"Everything." He said with a gentle smile on his face. He turned his gaze at me. "That spot is the most beautiful place in this kingdom."

If that's the case, why not bring me there first! You had me walking around this freaking kingdom while being flooded with looks of disgust and those places weren't even the most beautiful places in this kingdom!

"We can still go to that place if you like, you know?"

However, Leal did not reply and just remained silent while staring at the cliff with his gentle smile. He did not hear me, he was busy being sentimental.

There is definitely something in that place!

For a few minutes, none of us talked and just felt the gentle wind touching us as we watched the beautiful scenery in front of us. The trees beneath were gracefully swaying to the gentle melody of the wind and the sound of the birds and other animals inhabiting the place.

He moved and stared at me. "That's it for today, I know you are already tired walking around, we should take our rest now. Thanks for accompanying me around."

Ah... So, we're not going to that place?

I shook my head. "No. Thanks for touring me around your kingdom." I crossed my arms as I suddenly remembered something. "Anyway, you mentioned something about the Fairy king earlier? And he is part of... what was it again? Four pillars?"

"Yes, I did. The Fairy king, Roshan. The ruler of the Fairies, the superior race variant of the elven people. Why?"

Magerna. The author of Magerna's grimoire, the main reason why I was summoned into this world. The one who was responsible for all of this. That person is one of the Four Pillars of Ulterra!

"Is there a problem, Casimir?" Leal asked while staring at me.

"Magerna, huh?" I raised my eyes towards Leal. I found him staring at me while waiting for my reaction. As if he intentionally said her name last to see what my reaction was compared to the other Pillars.

As if he himself was looking for an answer that only my reaction to that name could give.

"Sounds familiar?" He asked casually.

"Yeah, I heard her name before. Oracle Archmage, huh? So, someone who can see the future? Do you know something about her?"

Leal shrugged. "Just like I said, she is the most mysterious out of the Four pillars. The other three are already mysterious on their own, but compared to them, Magerna is an enigma."

"I see."

For some reason, Leal's curious expression turned into a puzzling smile while staring right into my eyes. "But, I know some things about her past that may answer some of your questions."

Oh wow, he has done some research, huh?

Man, this guy, I can easily tell that he is into something. Him giving me information about Magerna is not me getting answers, it's him getting them. I can see it in his curious eyes.

I just don't know what answer he could get from me, or if it's even relevant to the things that he wants to know. I don't know shit! I just hope he doesn't end up disappointed.

I exhaled and smiled. "Let me hear it, then."
