The Tree Spirit, curious about what had happened after Kulori returned to the ruins three hundred years ago, took the chronicle from Angel without hesitation and immediately began reading.
At first, the Tree Spirit had approached it with the mindset of prying into legendary gossip, but before he had even read two pages, he froze.
He had actually seen news of Aldrich and Marisa in Kulori's chronicle?!
The Tree Spirit reread Kulori's records of Aldrich and Marisa again and again, countless emotions swirling in his eyes.
The Tree Spirit had lived for a very, very long time. He had witnessed the rises and falls of Savage Cave. Nearly every genius of Savage Cave had grown under his watch, and Aldrich and Marisa were no exception.
Aldrich in particular—being the previous leader, he had shared an especially close connection with the Tree Spirit.
Because Aldrich possessed a rare talent for affinity with nature, the Tree Spirit had watched over him ever since he was a youth. Later, when Aldrich became the leader, nearly every reform and policy of his had been carried out by the Tree Spirit below. Their coordination had been so seamless that they could understand each other's intentions with a single look.
However, no feast in this world could last forever. After Aldrich broke through to Legend, he still bade farewell to Savage Cave in search of the road ahead.
From then on, the Tree Spirit had received almost no news of Aldrich.
Who would have thought that he would see the name of an old friend in Kulori's chronicle this time?
The Tree Spirit stared at Aldrich and Marisa's names for a long while before suddenly closing the chronicle. "I believe Rhein will also want to know this news about Aldrich. I'll go tell him now."
