Velin pondered for a moment before answering confidently, "An echo."
The phantom's smile widened. "Correct. You have earned an additional question. Ask your two questions now."
Velin took a deep breath and asked his first question, "What is the true reason behind the Zerzura Kingdom's downfall?"
The phantom's expression turned somber. "The Zerzura Kingdom sought to defy the world's rules and create their own. They believed they could replace the Ancient Rule God with their own will.

The phantom's gaze intensified. "The Secret Tome is not a repository of knowledge or power. It is a testament to the world's will, a manifestation of its rules. Those who seek to understand the world's will and its rules can gain insight from the Secret Tome. However, those who seek to defy or control the world's will will find only their doom within its pages."
