"Where did I get the notebook..." Miss Gwen thought back carefully before answering. "It floated down from the mountains in the hot spring water and ended up in the pool at my grandfather's house. I happened to find it while I was playing there...
"I noticed the paper was unusual. It hadn't been damaged despite soaking for so long, so I kept it out of curiosity. Then I forgot about it for a long time.
"It wasn't until I studied Ancient Feysac, the source of the North Continent's written languages, at the Girls' Public School in Backlund that I remembered it... The writing in that notebook was Ancient Feysac."
It floated down with the hot spring water? It wasn't excavated underground? In that case, the information gathered by Paige from the Gnosis Society might not be true...
After a moment's thought, Abner asked again, "Annie... If you don't mind me asking, what year did you find it?"
Miss Gwen's full name was Annie Gwen.
"About twelve years ago, when I was six," Miss Gwen answered with certainty.
That was also the year she had left Feysac with her parents for Backlund, so she remembered it clearly.
Twelve years ago... If I remember right, the Police Diary I got from the Dream Labyrinth Tower recorded that fishermen first discovered the ruins with the Dragon skeleton twelve years ago too...
Could that be a coincidence?
Or is there some connection between the Castle of Giant Descendants and those ruins linked to Mr. Azik?
I thought I understood those ruins fairly well after exchanging information with Closia... Now it seems there may be other secrets hidden there.
His thoughts racing, Abner met Miss Gwen's curious gaze and briefly told her how the Castle of Giant Descendants had been destroyed by a mysterious disaster
