Old Adrian walked over to the campfire and sat down, and motioned for Kelly and Alan to come with him. Rare's energy was immediately on the grilled fish in his mouth, when he suddenly heard Old Adrian's voice ringing in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw that the three men were already seated on the floor, not knowing what they were discussing.

"As you know from the textbooks, nearly two thousand years have passed since the advent of magic on this continent. In the course of these long years, the ruling power of the Hepp Continent has undergone three major changes. Old Adrian glanced at Alan and asked, "Then Ellen, could you please explain to me which three times they were, you should know?"

"Hmm...... There are similar questions in this morning's exam paper. Eren thought for a moment and then began to say: "The origin of magic can be traced back to about 1800 years ago, and its original intention was to improve the living conditions of human beings, because at that time, human beings were still a vulnerable group, and there were many enemies, not only facing the threat of many dangerous creatures such as werewolves and earthwalking beasts, but also more difficult to deal with food shortages, disease invasion and other problems......" Saying this, Eren glanced at Kelly with apologetic eyes, and Kelly nodded lightly to show that he didn't mind, and motioned for him to continue.

"But the advent of magic changed all that, and it helped people to escape the fate of being hunted and killed all day long, and also gave people the ability to fight hunger and disease, no longer wander, and live a stable life...... Humans obtained the dominance of the Hepp continent from their natural enemies and drove them to unknown dark corners, which was the first change of dominance on this continent. Alan took a sip of water and looked at old Adrian.

"Well done, go on. Old Adrian encouraged.

"But the good times didn't last long, and although magic took away the backward way of human existence, it also gradually exposed the dark side of human nature. Some magicians who thought they were powerful began to gather their followers, divide their spheres of influence, and fiercely compete for power, wealth, and various survival resources, and a large number of deadly magic was invented at this time...... The battle between the magicians lasted for about 500 years, a period known as the 'Five Hundred Years'. It wasn't until the monster known as the 'Demon Eye' appeared that it was the end of the infighting between humans. ”

Eren paused for a moment, then continued, "A Brief History of Magic has a detailed account of the Magic Eye - it was pitch black, as large as a mountain, with limbs similar to those of a human, but very slender, with a slender neck, and a protruding head with only one eye and a large mouth. It was restless, roaring and shaking the ground with a wave of its arms, and dust and sand would fly. All creatures that come close to it are affected by its evil aura and become restless and restless. And about its eyes......" Alan paused again, and continued: "Arrogance, anger, jealousy, laziness, selfishness, greed, hypocrisy, etc...... Most people have these dark sides in their hearts to a greater or lesser extent, and this huge one-eyed seems to be able to draw out the darkness in people's hearts. Those who are watched by it will be swallowed up by the darkness in their own hearts, making people lose their minds, go crazy, become cruel and ruthless, and then kill each other...... But the strange thing is that the description of its form in the book is very detailed, but there is almost no record of its origin, except that it suddenly appeared one night without warning, and such a terrible thing came out of the sky, and no one knows where it came from, and no one knows why it appeared......" Alan stopped abruptly at this point, frowned, looked at old Adrian with questioning eyes, and asked, "Mr. Adrian, I would like to ask some digression when it comes to it...... This is a question that I have not been thinking about for a long time. According to my personal knowledge, everything should have its origin, just as trees come from seeds and rain comes from the sky, but there is no record of the origin of the MONOCULUS...... What the hell is it?"

"That's right, you're right, everything has its origin. Old Adrian was silent for a moment, and said with a smile, "But I don't know exactly where it came from, only some of my personal speculations...... But instead of telling you about these unsubstantiated speculations, I think it's better to let you find out for yourself...... And you seem to have the answer in mind, don't you?"

Alan didn't understand old Adrian's words, and still looked at him with a confused expression.

"Maybe you just didn't notice it now...... I think sooner or later you'll find it with your own eyes. ”

Alan wanted to continue asking, but Old Adrian waved his hand to signal him not to ask any more, and began to continue with Allen's words: "The appearance of the Magic Eye is undoubtedly a catastrophe for humanity, but it also puts an end to the struggle that has lasted for hundreds of years. Once again, the mages who fought separately stopped fighting to resist a common enemy, and once again united for a common goal: survival...... However, no matter how much people resisted, no one could stop the destruction and killing of the MONOCULUS, and people's seemingly stubborn resistance was exchanged for great sacrifices. Ordinary magic can't hurt it at all, and there have been magicians who have sacrificed themselves and used all their magic to inflict all their magic on it, but to despair, it seems that it can't be killed at all, because no matter how badly injured, the wound will slowly heal itself...... The catastrophe lasted a long time. The Eye was first seen as a scourge and then as divine punishment, and was thought to be the punishment of human strife for angering the gods. But whatever it is, the result is the same – humanity is on the verge of extinction under its wrath...... Just when people were in despair, four great magicians from the Valley of Origin, known as the 'Guardians of the Dawn', used their unique magic to fight the Eye...... A handful of survivors witnessed the battle and told the story: 'The battle was fierce. No one knew what kind of magic they were using, except that the sky was lit up by fire and lightning, and the magic eye was heard roaring all night. At daybreak, the people saw that the magic eye, which had been thought invincible, had fallen, and the four men had won the final victory!'...... The four of them teamed up to seal the Demon Eye hundreds of meters underground, bringing this protracted battle to an end. ”

The four are Gil Alvaona, Sherin Lezberg, Stephen Calvins and John Isger. Old Adrian tilted his head slightly, closed his eyes and paused for a moment, then said with respect: "They have dispersed the dark clouds that obscured the sky, preserved the spark called 'hope' for the continuation of mankind, and opened a new page in the history of the wizarding world." In commemoration of these four people who freed them from fear, this day was designated as the New Year's Day of the First Age of Hepp - 'Dawn Day', which is the first year of the First Age of Hepp...... Those who have been saved from the brink of destruction gratefully follow the leadership of the Four and their descendants until millennia later. This was the second change in the ruling power of the Hepp continent. ”

"Uh...... You spoke in much more detail than I read in the book. Allen said.

"That's because people make history and repeat it. Old Adrian smiled at him, "And I, on the other hand, like to look back at history, to review where we came from." ”

"And how much do you know about the third time?" asked Old Adrian with a smile suddenly put away.

"Uh...... As for the third time, the book is very brief, presumably related to the second appearance of the MONOCULUS. The book says that the descendants of the four people coveted comfort and became incompetent, and finally lost their lives and failed to stop the MONOCULUS, or it was the joint efforts of some new magical families that later sealed the MONOCULUS again, and then soon the outstanding magicians elected by various families jointly formed the Magic Management Association, replacing the old ruling model that lasted for thousands of years, until now. ”

"Heh, it's really quite sketchy. Old Adrian smiled contemptuously and added, "Not only is it brief, but it also distorts history." ”

"Distort history?" Alan was taken aback by the word, because it meant that the history he now learned from the book might not be entirely true.

"Yes, as far as I know, this is not the case. Old Adrian took a sip of water and continued, "The place where the four of them sealed the Eye in the first place was Montroda, far west of what is now Krivari, and I said before that I had stayed there when I traveled to the continent of Hepp...... And the Demon Eye did appear there for the second time, and the descendants of the four people were indeed a little negligent about the Demon Eye...... But they are not incompetent, as the heirs of the four Guardians hold the four relics inherited from their ancestors and are skilled in using all sealing magic. They were raised as guardians of the land, actively or passively giving up their happiness as ordinary people...... And in the end, it was they who lost their lives to seal the MONOCULUS again, not some so-called new magical family, such as the clever Winslows. ”
