"Even if it was me, I just accidentally heard about it from a historian before the catastrophe happened."

Although the black-haired young man in front of him looked like a young-looking refugee, he didn't need to pay attention at all.

However, even if he is old and frail, the old man was once a true quasi-legend.

However, even with his eyesight, he couldn't detect the slightest heel from Charles' body.

This also means that the other party——

Perhaps a true legend.

This is almost impossible to happen!

Even before the cataclysm, most of the legends in this continent were blessed by the righteous gods, so they were able to advance to the rank of legendary gods.

And after the cataclysm, the huge Orthodox churches collapsed together with the believers, and the legends on the mainland were on the verge of extinction.

The few remaining ones also fell in the follow-up war against the Lightless Calamity.

As for the other party being a legend who grew up after the cataclysm... that's even more impossible.

After the cataclysm, the average life expectancy of people was less than 30 years old, and supplies were extremely scarce.

Even in the era of abundance and abundance, legends were rare, let alone today?

So, who is the other party?

The old immortal who survived from before the cataclysm to today?

Facing the desperate situation after the cataclysm, the chosen one who became a legend?

Or, is it a favored person chosen by the remaining gods after the cataclysm?

still..

That ancient book vaguely mentions an extraterrestrial visitor from another plane?

At this moment, countless guesses flashed through the old man's mind.

However, at least from the attitude of the other party, it is obvious that there is no malice towards himself or Aurora City.

"Aurora City used to be one of the kingdom's metropolises, so there was a library in the city."

"If you want to know about the wizard's past, I can take you to the library to look up the original materials."

The old man spoke slowly.

Whether this black-haired young man is an alien or a person favored by gods, it doesn't really matter to him or to the entire Aurora City.

This city, this world—

I have persisted in the darkness for too long, I have waited for too long.

Today it is today.

If anyone can really save this city, this world from this dark future—

It doesn't matter whether it's a righteous god who has gone mad, or a revived evil god.

Even the most vicious and insidious devils really don't care.

"That would be troublesome."

Charles nodded, not rejecting the other party's kindness.

..

The old man staggered, leading Charles to the other side of the city step by step.

This is an old building full of dust, the walls are covered with cracks and signs of weathering.

Charles and the old man's footsteps passed the steps of the door, raising waves of dust.

"It hasn't been repaired for a long time."

"After all, in the current Aurora City, compared to exploring the past history in the old library, people are actually more concerned about whether there is enough food and firewood for tomorrow—"

The old man smiled helplessly and walked into the library.

"Grandpa Aize!"

A voice of surprise came from the library, followed by a girl wearing coarse clothes.

This is a girl who looks about eighteen or nineteen years old. Although there are a few puddings on the plain cloth, it is very clean.

And the most eye-catching thing is the girl's eyes——

Those eyes were bright, full of hope and longing for the future.

The gray and haggard eyes of the other people that Charles saw in Aurora City formed a sharp contrast.

"Grandpa, why are you here? Don't ask anyone to tell me."

"You have old arms and legs, what if you fall down on the way here?"

While complaining in a low voice, the girl walked to the old man's side and supported him.

Seeing the girl in front of him, a faint light suddenly appeared in the cloudy eyes of the old man named Ai Ze.

At this time, the girl also saw Charles who was following beside her, and hurriedly put away her previous complaining attitude, and gave a standard noble salute to Charles.

"My name is Ana Tasia, and I am currently the great librarian in Aurora City. My dream is to find the root cause of the Lightless Calamity and solve it completely!"

"By the way, I almost forgot to thank you, Grandpa Ai Ze has been taken care of by you earlier."

"Anna's parents used to be members of an expedition team. They accidentally encountered a twilight beast horde while they were out collecting firewood, and they both died."

"Anna was only three years old at the time, so I adopted her... and then watched her grow from the little girl who was like a bean to today."

"Frankly speaking, ever since I watched the capital city collapse, I have been in a daze since I survived."

"I randomly found a safe city to hide my identity, and squandered my life under the anesthesia of alcohol..."

"When the city I'm in is about to be swallowed by the Agnostic Calamity, I'll run away one step ahead...Anyway, the twilight creatures wandering in the wilderness can't stop me as a quasi-legendary."

The old man's subtle voice sounded in Charles' ears.

"I thought I would just forget my past pride as a quasi-legend, and spend my life in a daze...until I met Anna."

"Actually, the crisis that Aurora City is facing this time has already been foreshadowed. If I want to run away, according to the rumors of the homeless, I heard that there are still some cities in the west of the mainland that are relatively safe."

"However, this time I don't want to escape anymore..."

The old man Aize looked at Anna who was bouncing around in front of him, and said in a kind voice: "Anna, Your Majesty is here to find information about wizards and magic."

"wizard.."

"magic..?"

Anna stopped in a bit of trouble, and began to think hard, her little face was full of tangles: "That was before the cataclysm, thousands of years ago..."

"I have been studying the records before and after the cataclysm, and I don't know much about the research on the pre-epoch..."

She rummaged through the rows of bookshelves.

"Wizard related books.. let me think about where to put it.."

..

"Sorry because of the stories I told her when she was a kid.."

"Anna's dream since she was a child was to find out the truth about the Lightless Disaster, and then solve it completely, so that people can live under the sun again..."

"So she worked hard to pass the assessment and became the administrator of the library, and spent every day in the library studying various ancient books and scholars' documents before and after the catastrophe."

Ai Ze shook his head slightly, and said to Charles helplessly.

"It's childish..."

"At the beginning, the entire continent gathered the power of countless experts and scholars, and the few remaining legends went out in person. None of them have ever researched the truth of the lightless disaster and the cataclysm."

"Now that 200 years have passed, everything has long been buried in the dust of history..."

"She wants to rely on a small library to explore the secrets. It's simply a fantasy. It's just a waste of resources and time."

Having said that, there was no sense of reproach in Ai Ze's eyes when he looked at Anna, instead, he was full of relief.

Also, that looming, a little longing.

"Do not--"

"My teacher once told me that."

"Every dream, even if it is far away, as long as it is put into action and persisted unswervingly, it will never be naive."

"A moth that catches fire, even if its life is short...but the splendor of that moment has already surpassed countless rickets who dare to live in the shadows."

Charles' words remained calm.

"Then, your wish—"

"I did hear it."

..

He looked at Ai Ze, and said slowly: "I know that there are some arrangements and deliberations in your statement."

"I want to make me, an existence you can't figure out the origin of, sympathize with the experience of your world, and bring changes to your now hopeless world."

"However, the good news is that you won the bet."

Ciel looked at Aize with clear eyes, not stained with dust.

"I will help the world, but not because I am moved by your words, or because of boring, condescending sympathy, pity and other reasons."

"It's because, I want to do this..."

"That's all."

Charles stretched out his hand, interrupting Anna's search among rows of bookshelves.

Relying on the feedback of mental power, Charles has already located the target he needs.

He walked through rows of creaking bookcases.

Charles' footsteps stopped somewhere, and he pulled out an old book from it.

"Chronicle of Events of Abundance Church"

Charles opened the ancient book, the rough parchment rustling between his fingers.

Then--

His pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly.

"The 374th year of the Harvest Calendar: Upholding the oracle of the Lord, the popes of the seven major churches and all high-level officials passed a unanimous resolution, and the witch hunt officially started."

"In the same year, the Moon of Summer Flowers, the nations of mankind raised objections to this."

"Adhering to the oracle of the Lord, suppress those who resist the most fiercely, and replace their national leaders with loyal believers."

"The 393rd year of the Harvest Calendar: The first legendary battle broke out."

"In this battle, more than 150 archmages were lost in the Three Towers of Wizardry, more than 250 fallen great knights and believers of the same rank from the Orthodox Church, and four pages of the legendary mage [Ice Witch] Eternal Frost were lost in the True Red Tower."

"The 424th year of the Harvest Calendar: The second legendary battle broke out, one of the three towers of wizards - the tower of true red was destroyed, and three people who were strong in the legendary rank fell."

"493 Years of the Harvest Calendar: The third legendary battle broke out, one of the three towers of wizards - the Tower of Pure White was destroyed, and four legendary strongmen fell. In this battle, the Church of Truth launched a divine descent, defeating the Pangea magic net in one fell swoop .”

"After the collapse of the magic net, it is difficult for wizards under the quasi-legendary to use the magic net to cast spells. They can only try non-magic net spells, or cast spells with the help of residual magic items."

"550 Years of the Harvest Calendar: The Final Battle of the Witch Hunt"

"In the 564th year of the Harvest Calendar, in the moon of the cold star, the last tower of the three towers - the extremely black tower was destroyed, and nine legendary ranks fell. Only one of the 24 eight-page mages in the three towers survived, and their whereabouts are unknown."

"590 Years of the Prosperity Calendar: After 30 years of arrests and siege, all wizard remnants, including arcane books, magic props, technology, etc., were confiscated and destroyed. The witch hunt was a complete success and officially ended."

Chapter 50 Replace the sun? 6k

The candle was burning brightly, illuminating the few people standing side by side in the dark and quiet library.

Charles slowly put down the ancient book in his hand.

Although going to this secondary dimension is to satisfy my thirst for knowledge as a wizard, and I want to dig out some secrets of the old era.
