Chapter 931 - Cmity


    "Primordial Wisp? Is that what lies in the restriction zone?" Roran asked Emery back.


    Emery was silent when he saw Roran''s reaction. Apparently, even the Harlight Prince himself did not know the real cause of the Cmity. This, after all, was still a test from the Magus Academy. There must be some level of secrets being hidden and only known to the higher-ups.


    "Yes, I believe it is." Emery said with a hint of affirmation. "Do you know anything about it?"


    Hearing the question, Roran nodded his head. Seeing the inquisitive gaze Emery had, he then exined that ording to what he knew, a Primordial Wisp was one out of a dozen possible scenarios that would lead to a Cmity stage.


    "It''s one fo the mostmon causes actually,parable to technological meltdown and evolutionary mutations," Roran said in a casual manner. Emery waspletely speechless hearing how casual he said those words.


    Noticing his reaction, the Harlight Prince merely smiled. He then exined that a Primordial Wisp was a source of pure power, which when integrated into a would elerate the evolution of all living things on said.


    If exined in a simpleparison, it was like nting a precious seed in the soil that made the area where it was nted much more fertile over time.


    The seed would simply benefit the ce where it was nted. However, once in a few millennia, the seed would bloom and the blossom could then lead to a Cmity like the one the natives of the Andora were facing right now.


    After hearing that, Emery waspletely flummoxed and speechless. It took him quite a while before he managed to utter a word. "The Primordial Wisp is the culprit causing this?"


    As if not believing what he had just asked, Emery turned his head towards the sacred mountain ins. He couldn''t wrap his head around the fact that an existence akin to Gaia was the source of such madness.


    Not just Emery, Julian was also surprised by the unexpected revtion. Roran quickly noticed their rather odd reaction, "What''s wrong? Did I say something wrong, or did I miss something?"


    The Harlight Prince received no response as the two of them were in deep thought.


    The news was so shocking Emery needed to learn more about it. He had thought about keeping Gaia''s existence a secret from Roran, but then he knew information about Gaia on his wasn''t really a secret. At least not for someone like Roran.


    Roran, with his status and the resources at his disposal, should be able to easily get the information if he wanted to. Therefore, it should be in Earth''s best interest to just directly tell him. Emery just had to make sure he didn''t spill a single hint of Khaos'' existence.


    "What? You have one on your?" Roran asked, surprised. However, the surprise on his face onlysted a moment, before he opened his mouth again. "You''re worried that something like this will happen to your, right?"


    Seeing Emery''s nod and Julian''s anxiety, Roran was silent for a moment before saying, "Well… This event happens once every few thousand years and it might not even happen at all. So my advice is not to worry too much about it"


    Roran''s reply, unfortunately, was not enough to calm the restlessness Emery was currently feeling. He would certainly not let go without asking for more details, as it involved the safety of his home.


    "What caused it? The Cmity, I mean."


    Roran took a deep breath and thought for a moment before saying, "It can vary actually. It can bepletely natural or even intentional by the Primordial Wisp itself. But the mostmon cause is the work of man."


    "What do you mean by that? Like what exactly?" Emery asked seriously, a peculiar glint shed across his eyes.


    s, he saw the Harlight Prince shake his head. "I really can''t say. It''s a lifeform afterall, hence each is unique… But it''s obvious, isn''t it? A Primordial Wisp possesses a tremendous amount of power, thus it is only natural that many would covet it and find ways to have such existence for themselves."


    Roran paused for a moment, nced at Emery and Julian, before slowly saying "Well… usually, it is the caretaker assigned to said that has the right on it."


    As soon as he heard the word ''caretaker'', Emery quickly nced at Julian and saw he was doing the same. Without saying anything to each other, their minds came to one conclusion and a name.


    Nephilim. ?? ? ????? full


    Emery suddenly remembered about a certain time during the harvest festival, when a certain Nephilim magus came to take 9 out of 10 Heavenly Fruit produced by the Gaia tree. He recalled how at that time even the Abbot and King Fjolnir couldn''t do anything about it.


    His recollection was cut short as Roran continued to speak.


    "If it''s really a Primordial Wisp out there on the Sacred Mountain, that means there''s probably a lot of fortuitous encounters to be found there. No wonder it was designated as a restricted zone." The Harlight Prince said as his gaze fixed on the north. "I''m sure Commander Raynor and his men are harvesting those fortunes right now."


    At this moment, Emery remembered how the white-haired local who previously called him a thief.


    "What about the natives? Shouldn''t they have a say in this matter? I mean, isn''t it technically theirs?"


    Upon hearing that, Roran shifted his gaze and looked at Emery with a smile while saying, "Aa… of course, the natives indeed have the first right over it. However, they have lost that right when they are deemed unable to survive without the help of the Magus Alliance."


    Hearing such words, Emery inwardly heaved a deep sigh.


    As Lord Izta once said, the lower realms were merely a source of talent and resources for the Magus Alliance. A massive and vast pasture, simply put.


    If they were talented enough, the alliance would leave them alone; but if not, they would take im of the resources for themself. After all, the Magus Alliance was currently at war against the elves.


    Yet, what bothered and still lingered in his mind was the idea that Gaia could possibly be the source of such destruction and - arguably - do such a thing of her own volition.


    Thinking of this, Emery quickly became anxious. Considering how Gaia was behaving strangely and the vision of destruction he had seen, it suddenly worried him that something disastrous would happen in the near future.


    Emery once again looked towards North and thought he might find some answer if he knew what''s happening on this.
