Seeing her surprise, Adrian explained, "Times are different now. We endorse gender equality, so be it men or women, anyone can achieve anything so long as their capabilities allow them to. In fact, women in this era are much more powerful than men.""What do you mean?" Rozi did not understand, and she was curious to learn more."You'll find out soon enough," Adrian said with a smile. “Come on. Let's go meet them." He got out of the car, with Rozi following behind.Jerome and Crystal walked over, with the former saying, "Sir."Crystal added, "Long time no see, Adrian. You seem to have gained a little weight."Their gazes landed on Rozi as they spoke. Jerome merely shot Rozi a glance, while Crystal continued staring. She was mesmerized by Rozi's beauty. She was even more stunning than in her picture."Who’s this, Adrian?" Crystal asked."Guys, this is Rozi,” Adrian introduced, "Rozi, this is Jerome Yahn, also known as War Legate Dominus, and this is Crystal Nave, Novemton's monarc
A being that had lived for a thousand and two hundred years. Such a thing was considered an impossible miracle in modern society. Yet, Rozi's presence had turned this notion on its head.Adrian told Jerome and Crystal everything that happened at Enigma City and everything else he knew. The two slowly came to understand more about recent events with this explanation. At first, they were both shocked, but that ultimately turned into rage and dissatisfaction. As the letter had stated, the Uduma Desert was reset. This left Crystal shocked and outraged. After all, nobody felt good upon learning their fate was out of their control.Crystal said, "Who would've thought such a thing would ever happen? I'm sure something similar to the Uduma Desert's reset has happened before. So, who is this person?"Hannibal's Heroes of Wyvern Peak had taught everyone something. The concept of time and memory being reset was growing stronger, and the entire world was within that person's grasp. Thus, the fu
All of Novemton's resources were poured into the research of the meteorites at that moment.Jerome looked at Adrian. He knew it was next to impossible to figure out who was pulling the strings from behind, but one thing was for sure. They had to locate the Creator if they did not wish to live under constant threat. "What are your plans now, sir?" Jerome asked."We need to locate Mount Thunder." Crystal asked, "I heard a few days ago that you were investigating this place. What's so special about this mountain? Why are you looking for it?"Adrian explained, "That's where Rozi saw her prophecies. There's a place called the Celestial Lake, which is located at the mountain summit. The problem now is that we don't know whether Mount Thunder was reset or not. Our only chance at getting closer to the truth is through locating this place."It's easy to find a mountain. What’s difficult is to find one that meets all of your given criteria. How are we supposed to start?" Jerome asked.A
Crystal was feeling fortunate to have come across someone like Adrian in the course of her career. After all, he was the person who resolved all of her issues from the moment she became the monarch.Wyvern Peak's existence directly affected how history progressed. And on this day, they were all faced with an enemy with unprecedented powers, capable of destroying the world. At that moment, Hugh entered the office and said, "Your Majesty, I bring urgent news!"Adrian and the others immediately stopped their conversation. Crystal said, "Come in." Hugh walked in and greeted, "Greetings, everyone."Adrian and Jerome waited for Hugh to tell them the news. Crystal said, "What's the matter, Hugh?""Your Majesty, Oliver just sent word that our men found an ancient ruin while building the railway at Mount Gremont.""What?” Crystal was shocked.Jerome asked, "What sort of ruin?"Hugh handed over a few pictures. "Our men realized something strange as they were tunneling through Mount
As Crystal pondered, Hugh asked, "Your Majesty, the railway works have been forced to stop. Oliver and the others are waiting for their next orders. It’ll be difficult to remain active on the snowy mountain over long periods of time. They need your answer as soon as possible, Your Majesty.""Rozi and I will go take a look," Adrian said."Okay.” Crystal got up and continued, "Hugh, tell Oliver to stop tunneling for the time being and work on something else. War Legate Draco will investigate the frozen city. They will be allowed to continue working on the mountain after he's done.""Yes, Your Majesty,” Hugh responded and left. Adrian was about to leave with Rozi when Jerome held his shoulder and said, "I can't shake the feeling this is going to be dangerous. Perhaps you should leave the investigation to me, sir. I don't wish for you to get any further involved."Adrian smiled. "I haven't grown that old yet. Come on, Rozi. Let’s go.”Rozi nodded and left the office with Adrian.Je
Adrian and Rozi were on their way to Mount Gremont, the largest snowy mountain in Novemton. This mountain stood in between Wyvern Peak and Dragon Peak. One needed to pass Wyvern Peak to get to Mount Gremont. While the helicopter flew through the air, Adrian and Rozi looked out at the glorious palace standing at the topmost level of Wyvern Peak. Filled with fascination, the excited Rozi asked, "What is that place? It looks even more glorious than Enigma City.""That's Wyvern Peak," Adrian replied with a smile. Rozi had heard Adrian mentioning this place many times, but she could not remember what sort of place it was. She asked, "What's Wyvern Peak?""It's a place founded by Novemtoners. It's the main entrance into Novemton and the place that protects our citizens from foreign invasions. It has stood for hundreds of years now.""Which means it's about the same as the Gost emperor's army, right?" Rozi asked. "Yes, Wyvern Peak is an army for Novemton. It's because Wyvern Peak sta
Those were unchangeable facts. Adrian tried to console her. "It's all in the past now. What you should be thinking about is how countless people have yearned to live forever without aging but have failed. Yet, you've succeeded in just that. You've managed to live for more than a thousand years, yet you haven't aged one bit. Do you have any idea how many people dream of being like you?"Rozi rolled her eyes. "More accurately, I've been asleep for more than a thousand years, so how was that any different from being dead?""The dead never wake but those who are asleep will.""So in terms of age, don't you think it'd be appropriate for you to address me as your great-grandmother?" Adrian was startled by this sudden question and quickly cleared his throat in awkwardness. Rozi burst out in laughter. "You're only in your twenties, while I've lived for over a thousand years. It’d be more than appropriate for me to be your ancestor, regardless of how you look at it.""No comment." Adr
But something had attracted Leonardo's attention. Seeing how nobody took him seriously, Leonardo took one last look at the cave before leaving with everyone else.***The night was without incident.Adrian and Rozi arrived at Mount Gremont's headquarters at noon the next day. Their helicopter landed on the helipad above. They got out and gazed at the base."I heard that Oliver was an outstanding archaeologist. Just look at how neat and tidy this whole place is," Adrian said as he observed his surroundings.Rozi was mesmerized by the large area. The base looked extremely spectacular standing within the snowy mountain. Though the working conditions here were harsh, it looked as though the engineering team would complete the railway without any problems.Rozi was curious. "Adrian, why are they building a railway through the mountain? Won’t this require a huge amount of resources?"Adrian smiled. "The railway is crucial if Navia wishes to survive against the vast numbers of outland
