Aloisâ eyes were not those of telling lies.
It was a pletely different atmosphere from the usual light jokes.
I licked my lips nervously.
âA wise man and a great wizard. Iâve never heard of such a story anywhere.â
As I was about to think this way, Alois saw through my question and continued.
âItâs probably the first time youâve heard of it. This is the history passed down from generation to generation only in the family of magicians.â
âNow I understand. Why my technique didnât work for you.â
âMiss Tiarozety signed a contract with the book, didnât you?â
My lips parted naturally at Aloisâ question.
If it was a contract, it was a contract.
Received a reward for fulfilling the bookâs demands.
âI didnât sign the contract because I wanted to.â
âAnyway, itâs true that you and the book are connected.â
âI was just dragged in. I wasnât even from this world in the first placeâŠâ
I looked at the book in a hurry.
It was because I was worried that the book would interfere the moment I said that I was not from this place.
âDonât worry. The book will mistakenly think we are having a normal conversation.â
âAs expected, Tiarozety was not from this place. Well, for the book to wake up, it needs the soul of another world.â
âHow much do you know?â

Alois smirked when I looked at her with wary eyes.
âThatâs Sullivanâs book, the first magician and wise man.â
Alois hurried and began to talk about the origin of the book.
The beginning of the world and the most chaotic time.
It was a time when it was natural for the powerful to bee king, and for the more powerful to usurp the position.
Sullivan, the magician, was a ray of light in that chaotic world.
Many difficulties were solved through the âsightâ of seeing the future.
Everything she said was right to the point where everyone agreed that what she said was right.
Therefore, many people called her a wise man or a sage.
Among them, there were four disciples called the Sujeja.
Agnes, the emperor who became the leader of the world thanks to her.
Arden, the best general who was able to catch a sword while tending sheep.
Esol, a name bestowed by God who is said to save people who are on the brink of death.
And Kun, the great archmage who was called the strongest.
They conquered the world with Sullivan at the center.
Finally, an empire that unified the world was established.
The empire they built was solid and they had no doubts that no one would be able to touch it.
Until a rift opened between them.
Shortly after the empire was established, the emperor announced that he would appoint Sullivan as empress.
The emperor loved Sullivan, and after endless courtship, she agreed to marry him.
Everyone took it as a natural oute and blessed the marriage.
Except for one person, Archmage Kun.
Kun, who secretly had a crush on Sullivan, suddenly disappeared in anger at the news of their marriage.
Since he disappeared without a trace, everyone assumed he had run away.
Sullivan tried to find him, but he was hidden.

Later, Sullivan and the emperor had a child.
When the child was just born and the wise manâs eyes were darkened, the great archmage appeared.
The evil archmage kidnapped Sullivan with powerful magic and ran away.
After losing the empress, the emperor went mad and lost his intelligence due to the archmageâs curse.
In the meantime, Arden, who was jealous of Agnesâ position, killed Agnes and became emperor himself.
The name of the empire was changed to Arden after himself.
Esol was afraid that the general would kill the child, so he took the child and hid in the depths.
In order to solidify his legitimacy, the general called the dead emperor âEvil Dragonâ and transformed him into a person worthy of being killed.
Esol, the founding contributor, was also erased from history and was not recognized as an imperial citizen.
It was because the name stole Agnes and Sullivanâs child.
The person later tried to find Agnesâ body, but the general did not tell him where it was.
And as time passed, when the person died and the child grew up, the empire was infested with witches.
Arden, a general who became emperor, fabricated it as an âevil dragonâs actâ to strengthen the imperial authority.
The child who became an archmage went to the imperial family to punish the evil dragon and went on a subjugation.
And when he found out that there was a real evil dragon, the child found a book that the evil dragon was guarding.
It was the diary of the wise man Sullivan and his motherâs will.
The evil dragon had already lost its intelligence, so it did not recognize the child.
The child could not bear to kill his father, so he returned with the evil dragon sealed, and the emperor of Arden, indignant at this, tried to kill the child.
The child saw through the emperorâs tricks in advance and went into hiding.
After finishing the story, Alois was quite calm.
I knew part of the story she told me, and I knew part of it differently.
I didnât know more than half of the story at all.
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
It was all the more so because I only knew the limited history of the empire that the book shows.

âItâs already an old story, so the descendants of the Arden Empire donât know the inside story at all. Because the Emperor of Arden burned all the records.â
âThe Great War 100 years ago, then âŠ.â
âThatâs relatively recent. Because the unsealed evil dragon attacked the empire.â
Life here always felt like wandering in the fog.
Especially since I didnât know anything about the world other than what the book told me.
In the end, the pedigree of the magician is Sullivanâs lineage, and Esol was a helper.
Arden betrayed Agnes, and the cursed emperor became an evil dragon.
âThen what does it mean that the two souls are sealed in the book of Wisdom?â
âWhen Sullivan was kidnapped, she used her wisdom to seal Kun in the book.â
âUnfortunately, she was under Kunâs spell, so even she was sealed.â
âSince it has been sealed for many years, there is no guarantee that the state of the soul will be fine. Itâs not easy to distinguish Sullivanâs soul from Kunâs.â
Alois swept her mouth and continued speaking seriously.
âNow that the book is awake, Tiarozety will have to plete it.â
I bit my lower lip when I was told I had to finish the book.
âBut to do that⊠.â
When I couldnât bear to speak, Alois opened her mouth.
âThe successors of the magician were always trained to be prepared for when the book awakens. I also learned how to get rid of books.â
âBut you have to kill the evil dragon to plete the ending. You may not know, but the evil dragon isâŠâ
âYes. I noticed that the Duke was trying to inherit the lineage of the evil dragon at that time.â
âThen I have to kill the Duke in the end. I canât.â
As I shook my head, Alois explained.
âItâs not necessarily like that. Of course, I canât guarantee success for sure, but itâs not that thereâs no way.â
She seemed worried that I might turn her down.
As expected, she seemed to know how to prevent something.
âThen are you saying there is a way to solve things smoothly?â
âRight, itâs not an easy road, of course.â
âIâll do it unless thereâs no way at all.â
I answered with a determined look.
If I can get out of the book, if I can save Lexion, Iâll be happy to go on a thorny path.
I asked a question to further clarify the doubts.
âThereâs one thing I donât understand. According to Alois, the magicianâs family and the evil dragon are related by blood. But why is the magician trying to punish the evil dragon?â
It was like trying to kill an ancestor.
Alois sighed and answered my question.
âItâs to break Kunâs curse.â
âAgnes became an evil dragon under Kunâs curse. That soul loses reason cannot die, but is resurrected over and over again.â
âItâs because the child didnât kill the evil dragon and sealed it.â
âThatâs true, but in fact, he couldnât kill him.â
âWhat do you mean he couldnât kill him?â
âItâs a curse that is solved only when Kunâs soul dies. He knew he couldnât kill him by himself, so he sealed it.â
My mouth opened wide at Aloisâ answer.

Because Kunâs soul was sealed in the book, Agnes also couldnât die and was resurrected over and over again, repeating unwanted actions.
To think that was the identity of the evil that confused the world.
My hair stood on its ends from the side of the book I didnât know.
âIn the end, the guide is Sullivan and Kunâs soul.â
t was strange to hear that what I thought was just one of the systems in the book was actually a living soul.
Then suddenly, I opened my mouth, recalling that Lexion had a book.
âAlois, thereâs more than one book.â
âThis. Their souls are already separated.â
Alois frowned and replied calmly.
âWhat do you mean separated?â
âIt means that both souls are awake.â
âIf both souls are awake, there must be another contractor.â
âThe other contractor is Lexion Sparrow. His role is the evil dragon.â
âAs expected⊠I see. Thatâs why he entered the family tree of the evil dragon.â
As if expected, Alois sighed quietly and murmured evasive words.
I asked Alois, grasping at straws.
âDo you know anything about the Dukeâs condition?â
âKun must be looking for a soul to replace the evil dragon. Agnesâs soul was already ruined. He needs another soul to bee the next evil dragon to keep Sullivan bound.â
âWhat do you mean tying up Sullivan?â
âBecause Kun wants to monopolize Sullivan. The medium of the absolute evil, the evil dragon and the book are very good means.â
âMaybe the dukeâs contractor is Kun. Thatâs probably why the duke became the evil dragon.â

âThen my contractorâŠâ
âIt must be Sullivan.â
Alois finished her words with a glance at the book.
