Bromin College was immersed in a fog. Billowing mist poured in from all directions, and no one was seen ten paces away. Holding torches aloft, we followed in the footsteps of Zenney and Fressen as we walked briskly towards the library.

The clothes and hair were wet and uncomfortable to stick to the body. In the grass, every dark shadow resembles a hiding April, watching us with his curious eyes.

Somehow, I suddenly felt lost, as if my eyes were covered by a fog, and I had missed something.

Ten minutes later, we ascended the slippery steps and entered the library through the empty side door, the sound of footsteps echoing through the porches and halls, empty, and the goddess seemed to stand still in the clouds, looking at us mortals with pity.

The parchment library remained the same as when I left, with precious manuscripts scattered all over the floor, pages torn and mutilated—like Zeni, I was not really a lover of books. I glanced at Kozmo, his face extremely ugly, as if he was distressed by the catastrophe.

Bart lights the wall lamps around him with a torch, the grease squeaks and burns, emitting a pungent scorching stench.

The father walked to the stone wall facing the entrance, half-crouched, and patiently tapped each piece of granite, finding no hollow echoes. He frowned, "The stone walls are so thick that you can't hear the difference. ”

"The library was originally the temple of the goddess Kethira, and at the beginning of its construction, every stone was carefully calculated, and the magicians carved the ancient blessing magic, and when it was completed, the whole building formed a huge magic circle, called 'Kethira's Guardian', and it was almost impossible to destroy it," Kozmo explained. ”

The father stroked the granite that had been worn by the vicissitudes of time, and asked rhetorically, "Almost impossible?" ”

Kozmo shrugged, "There's nothing you can't destroy. To maintain such a large magic array, it is necessary to rely on the artifact to provide abundant magic power, and as long as the source of magic power is cut off, the magic array will be fundamentally disintegrated. However, this temple has been standing for hundreds of years, and there are many people who covet the artifact, and no one can discover the secrets in it. It's easier said than done to find a needle in a haystack! ”

Bart interjected, "Isn't there any other way?" We just need to pry open a granite or two, and the skinny man can get in......"

"If you can pry open a piece, you can destroy the entire temple, and there is not much difference between the two."

To verify the Dean's words, his father drew the broadsword from Bart's waist and tentatively slashed at the stone wall. There was a loud bang, sparks splashing everywhere, shaking his arm violently, but the stone wall did not move, not even the debris fell.

He returned the greatsword to Bart, rubbed his wrist and muttered, "Priscilla, what do you think?" ”

This question had been haunting my mind for a long time, and I replied ambiguously, "Neither destroying the overall structure of the temple nor breaking the guardianship of Caithera, I'm afraid only a magician from Carbon can do it." ”

"Yes, Carbon's magician......"

It's a taboo topic. Father and Dean Kozmo looked at each other, and they both fell into deep thought.

To break the guardianship of Caithera, it is necessary to harness the power of the Carbonian magicians, descendants of the natives of Bromin Island, who hold the secrets of the magic circle and whose ancestors built the temple.

The origin is a long story.

According to the History of the Gufryns, about fifty years after the completion of the temple of the goddess Kethera, the Gufryns split into three branches because of their different beliefs.

One of the more powerful factions believed in the sun god the father, and they had a large number of magicians and occupied the islands of Collin and Aiudin. The other two groups of worship, the mother goddess Kethera, spread their teachings from the south and the north to the north of the Bremin Island, bounded by Mount Rex, and there were constant disagreements and disputes with each other.

The Father and the Mother were at odds with each other, and civil strife broke out, which eventually led to the decline of the entire race.

The Guflin people south of Bromin Island were the first to be defeated in the war, and the survivors crossed the sea to the continent of Saro, where they were captured and expelled by Oxskin, and forced to travel long distances to the western frontier, where they intermarried with the local barbarians and established the barbarian kingdom of Nachoqin in the desolate mountains.

The Gufrin people north of Bromin Island did not escape defeat after stubborn resistance, and they fled by sea to the continent of Salo, and in order to avoid conflict with Oxskin, they made their way north through the fertile grasslands and established a formidable Ka nation in the ice and snow.

Starting with the islands of Collin, Audin, and Bromin, the victors continued to expand outward, annexing the surrounding islands, large and small, and establishing a new kingdom of Flynn as the overlord of the seas. But the good times did not last long, and the Oxkine Empire, which was on the rise, sensed the threat of Flynn and gathered a huge fleet to expedition to the sea, occupying Bromin Island and Audin Island successively, and had the potential to annex Flynn in one fell swoop.

A sudden storm saves Flynn, and none of Oxskin's fleets survive, but Flynn never recovers.

To this day, the secrets of magic remain in the hands of the descendants of the Guflynns. Flynn's elemental magic, Nachoqin's spiritual magic, and Carbon's magic circle are the three major sources of magic recognized by the Magic Association.

Without the division and civil strife of hundreds of years ago, the landscape of Salo would have been completely different, and the Guverines might have been able to continue their glorious history, and Oxskin would never have had a chance to become the master of the continent.

King Siman had sent his cronies to Kakin in the hope of getting reinforcements from the north to fight against Oxskin, but for some reason, Carben actually sent the secret letter to King Cassius of Oxkine along with the messenger.

It was an eternal pain in Seaman's heart. As the rightful heir of Gufryn, he hated Kaben and believed that he had betrayed his ancestors and committed an unpardonable sin.
