History

Outside an abandoned ancient Ancient Castle.

The "Magician" Lady waited with Lumian for a while before, following a spiritual prompting, she stepped out and arrived at a certain place inside, stopping in front of a vermilion door.

Knock, knock, knock, knock, the holder of the Major Arcana knocked on the door three times in a row.

After a few seconds, a soothing voice came from inside:

"Please come in."

As these words were spoken, the vermilion door slowly opened behind them.

Lumian then noticed the heavy curtains, through which Sunlight struggled to penetrate, casting Golden reflected the floating Dust in parts of the room.

On the other side, untouched by Sunlight, lay a Pitch-Black coffin, not a typical Bed.

Opposite the coffin, the Desk near the Sunlight was piled high with letters.

At this moment, a man wearing loose Pajamas sat in front of the Desk. He had just put down his gold-tipped, black-bellied fountain Fountain Pen and folded the Paper filled with Vocabulary.

The man stood up, walked towards the door, and turned his back to the Sunlight.

Lumian had gained Darkvision through the "Witch" Pathway and could clearly see the man's appearance:

Around forty years old, of medium build, with bronze skin, no beard, black hair, brown eyes, and soft features. His eyes revealed an indescribable sense of vicissitude, and there was a black mole below his right ear that could only be seen upon close inspection...

"Good afternoon, Mr. Azik," Lady. "The Magician" greeted the man respectfully.

Lumian echoed this sentiment.

They speak Old Feysac.

The middle-aged man, known as Azik, suddenly seemed dazed, as if he had instantly received a large amount of information from the Spirit World and from his own subconscious.

He nodded and said softly, "Thank you for your help and for the help of the book, which allowed me to wake up earlier and my soul has been healed to some extent."

"It was mainly this little boy who made the contribution," the "Magician" Lady said, pointing to Lumian beside her.

She then introduced him to Lumian: "This is Mr. Azik Aegis, the Divine Child of That One ' Death God ' from the Fourth Epoch, and the former Archon of the Balam Empire."

Son of "Death God," former Death Archon of the Balam Empire... Lumian suddenly recalled parts of the "The Fool's " Church Holy Scripture:

The ' Angel of Death ' is the being who has followed my Lord the longest; they are the Archon of the Underworld...

Could this be the "Angel of Death" beside Mr. "The Fool's " throne? Lumian greeted him again.

"A ' Witch '." Azik glanced at Lumian and nodded slightly. "You carry the aura of the River of the Underworld Source."

"The river that connects the two worlds, the ' Angel of Death,' is the Source of the River of the Underworld?" Lumian paused, then said, "That's the seal of the ' Underworld Daoist.'"

"' The Underworld Daoist '..." Azik muttered to himself, seemingly having never heard of this being.

The "Magician" Lady laughed and changed the subject:

"Mr. Azik, we've come to visit you today mainly to inquire about a few things."

Azik glanced at the corridor outside the door:

"Let's take a walk around the Ancient Castle and talk as we go. This place holds important memories for me."

"Okay." The "Magician" Lady stepped aside.

Lumian and she followed behind Mr. Azik, who was suspected to be the "Angel of Death," through the corridor and up the stairs, step by step.

Along the way, one by one, the old wall lamps embedded in the walls lit up, Burning with a cold and Paleness Flames.

Lumian noticed that there were Oil Painting hanging on both sides of the corridor. Some were of Azik himself, but with a more lively expression and even a smile on his lips. There were also beautiful Lady with their hair tied up and several children teasing Wild Deer.

Azik's gaze slowly swept over the Oil Painting, pausing occasionally, before he finally asked the "Magician" Lady and Lumian after a long pause, "What do you want to ask?"

The "Magician" Lady was wearing a purplish-red magician's Robe today. She asked directly, "Mr. Azik, do you know why the ' Primordial Witch ' sought cooperation with your father, That One ' Death God ' of the Fourth Epoch, after the ' War of the Four Emperors '? Have you discovered any problems with the ' Primordial Witch '?"

Upon hearing this question, Lumian was taken aback for a moment before realizing what was happening:

Yes, this person was a firsthand witness to those events in the Late Fourth Epoch. Who else should we ask but Him?

He is indeed an ancient Angel who has lived for over a thousand years...

The "Magician" Lady should be about the same, but my spiritual intuition tells me she's still very young...

Azik recalled for a few seconds and said, "There was more than a hundred years between the end of the ' War of the Four Emperors ' and the beginning of the ' Pale Disaster.' The arrival of the ' Primordial Witch ' was probably in the middle of that time. We don't know the specifics of what she and my father discussed. I only know that she declared to us that she would avenge the ' Blood Emperor,' that she would make all Seven Gods of the Northern Continent perish, and that she would bring Trier and the ' Blood Emperor's' Deity Corpse, which were sealed Underground, back to the surface."

Is this true love? Two against seven, both seeking revenge for the ' Blood Emperor '...

"No, if the ' Primordial Witch ' had truly achieved her goal, it would have meant that the Special Mirror World would no longer be sealed, revealing all its problems. But the current Witch Sect doesn't seem to have that intention; they even plan to nail the Coffin lid even tighter to prevent those ' Person in the Mirror ' from achieving their goal..."

"Also, was it really not the ' Death Emperor,' that is, That One 'Grim Death God,' who delivered the final blow to the ' Blood Emperor '? The Uniqueness of the ' Red Priest ' has fallen into the hands of the ' Death God,' and there is something like the ' Samaritan Woman Spring ' Underground Trier..." Lumian was filled with strong doubts, but he did not interrupt Mr. Azik's story.

Azik said, "Without a doubt, the ' Primordial Witch ' is the most Charm Women in the world. Every living being who sees her is bound to be mesmerized by her, including me, my brothers and sisters, the Undead of the Underworld, and even our father was inevitably attracted to her to some extent."

"Even Undead are attracted to the ' Primordial Witch '? This is already Fascination of concepts and Authority..." the "Magician" Lady remarked. "Was your father, That One ' Death God ' of the Fourth Epoch, ultimately bewitched by the ' Primordial Witch ' when he decided to forcibly accept Temptation Uniqueness of the ' Red Priest '?"

Lumian had gained some understanding of the Uniqueness connection between "Death God" and "Red Priest" when reading the "0-01" sealed materials, but this was the first time he had clearly come into contact with the essence of the matter.

As his thoughts raced, Azik shook his head slightly and said, "The Instigation of the ' Primordial Witch ' should be one reason, but I don't think it's the main one, otherwise my father wouldn't have waited decades to do that."

The "Magician" Lady hummed in agreement and repeated her previous question:

"Have you noticed anything amiss with the ' Primordial Witch '?"

Azik passed by an Oil Painting and lightly ran his finger across it:

"Every time I encounter the ' Primordial Witch,' I become completely captivated. How could I possibly discover the problem of her existence?"

"If there's anything unusual, it's that on a few occasions, His Fascination was slightly weaker than usual; that must have been because He deliberately toned down his Charm."

As a "Witch," Lumian knew that Witch's natural Charm and her deliberate concealment of Charm would indeed present two different states, but after experiencing the fake "Black Witch," he suspected there might be other possibilities.

The "Magician" Lady thought for a moment and changed the subject:

"Mr. Azik, do you know about the Corpse of the Ancestor of the Phoenixes Depths in the Underworld?"

Azik glanced at the two Women.

"My father felt it was a waste to just destroy the Corpse of the Ancient God like that. He believed it could play a more important role, such as helping my father to better and more completely control the Underworld, or giving Him, as the 'God of Death God,' greater power."

"Beyonder in the Death Domain will never reject powerful Corpse that they can control."

Before the "Magician" Lady could ask again, Mr. Azik added:

"My father also mentioned that the Corpse of the Ancient God, the Ancestor of the Phoenixes, holds some secrets."

"A secret?" the "Magician" Lady asked curiously.

Azik stepped forward and said, "He didn't tell me the specifics, only that the story of the ' Ancient Sun God ' killing the Ancestor of the Phoenixes at the end of the Second Epoch was false. Well, to be more precise, the process was correct, but the result was wrong. The Ancestor of the Phoenixes was only severely injured by the ' Ancient Sun God,' not killed on the spot. He escaped to the Southern Continent and went into Concealment."

"Yes, if it really was the ' Ancient Sun God ' who killed the Ancestor of the Phoenixes, it's unlikely that the divine corpse would have been obtained by the 'Grim Death God ' and appeared in the Underworld, unless, it was arranged by Him again." The "Magician" Lady agreed.

Azik continued, "Similarly, the King of the Giants Olmuir did not perish on the spot. He apparently escaped and, before dying, passed his power to his Eldest Son, the later ' God of Combat,' Badheil."

Is this related to Ombella? Hmm, it seems that both of the Ancient God who weren't killed on the spot by the "Ancient Sun God" are connected to Ombella. One's Corpse is laying eggs and is currently incubating Ombella, and the other is Ombella's husband... Lumian glanced at the "Magician" Lady, and after obtaining her permission, asked, "Mr. Azik, what is the relationship between the Ancestor of the Phoenixes and the ' Harvest Goddess ' Ombella?"

Azik shook his head:

"I was born in the Fourth Epoch, and my knowledge of the Second Epoch history comes from what my father occasionally mentioned."

At this point, He smiled at Lumian and said, "Speaking of which, I should give you some reward."

With a gentle lift of His right hand, a torrent of White Bone erupted from the ground, forming a gigantic skeleton.

The skeleton respectfully handed a gleaming Loen Pound to Mr. Azik.

Azik took the Gold Coin and handed it to Lumian:

"Is it alright to use this as payment?"

"Thank you," Lumian said sincerely, accepting the Lucky Gold Coin that carried the aura of "The Fool."
