Chapter 746: The Past of the Twin Moons of the Empire

The crowd stood dumbfounded in the library.

Although they were mocked, the effect was very clearly there.

Rather, there was absolutely no need for this split entity of Esmeralda to deceive them.

However, even if their rationality knew it, their emotions would still often act up.

After all, they had spent a great deal of effort to kill those trash mobs.

Even the recent Leviathan was the same.

Alright, although that thing normally shouldn't be called a Leviathan either.

But who cares about a name.

They only cared that there were still many, many of those things outside.

"Don't worry, those things can't charge in. Otherwise, why do you think a place like Storm Island would exist?"

As if knowing what everyone was thinking in their hearts, Katie immediately added a sentence to reassure them.

"..."

Because it's an island, those things from other continents that could truly be called magic beasts couldn't come over, right.

"But don't forget there are still magic beasts in the ocean."

Ruan Qingyi curled her lips and complained.

"You also shouldn't forget that the things in the sea can't come ashore."

Katie directly retorted.

"It seems everyone should be aware of the disparity in combat power by now."

"So, those things were just an appetizer."

"It was to let everyone know what they will be facing."

"As for those so-called E-rank and D-rank magic beasts, strictly speaking, they can't even be considered magic beasts in this world."

"Rather, they are existences that were brought over from Blue Star and modified through magic power."

"Or otherwise, they are just small animals that originally existed in this world."

"Even those so-called levels were arbitrarily added by Esmeralda because she thought it would allow everyone to adapt faster and more smoothly."

"Look, you guys have still been protected too well."

Katie smiled, then waved her hand dismissively.

"Of course, these are just my one-sided words."

"If you don't believe it, then go to the true outer seas. There, you will bear witness to more."

After saying this, Katie picked up her pen again and continued transcribing the text in the book.

Perhaps to her, none of this was as valuable as transcribing books.

However, if viewed purely from the perspective of civilization, what Katie was currently doing was actually right.

But as for outside...

The group looked at each other.

Everyone was now pondering Katie's words.

Whether they should really go out and take a look at the outside world.

After all, according to what Katie meant, the Storm Island they were currently on was at best just a newbie village.

So...

"Because the original inhabitants of this world completely died out, the Will of the World is almost done for;"

"Because the Will of the World is almost done for, this world is also almost done for;"

"Because this world is almost done for, a group of people needed to be extradited from Blue Star to replenish this world."

"Can I understand it this way?"

After pondering for a moment, Lan Qingyou asked Katie.

The matter regarding the original inhabitants could be corroborated because of her 'teacher', Albert.

Rather, cities like the Forsaken Ruins were also remains left behind by the previous civilization.

But after their arrival, they hadn't encountered a single living original inhabitant.

Then it could only be that they had completely died out.

And in a world without intelligent beings, the so-called Will of the World would definitely gradually die out as well.

Or rather, go from '1' to '0'.

Which is what everyone called returning to zero.

In the end, what exactly was this so-called 'Will of the World'?

Lan Qingyou had also pondered this question before.

The conclusion she finally reached was 'an amalgamation of the thoughts of intelligent beings'.

Or it could also be said to be an aggregate formed from the convergence of souls.

"It can be understood that way, but it's not complete."

Katie still didn't raise her head, but this time she raised her hand.

Subsequently, a screen of light appeared in front of everyone.

On the light screen was a simplified map.

With just a brief glance, everyone could tell that this was roughly the map of the current Storm Island.

And outside Storm Island, there was a ring of various chibi-style magic beasts surrounding the island.

"To be precise, these magic beasts should be called abyssal monsters."

"Where they came from, and why they came is unknown."

"Anyway, according to what the Will of the World told me, roughly because of the arrival of these abyssal monsters, the magical civilization of this planet faced an unprecedented crisis."

"In order to deal with such a crisis, the original inhabitants thought of many methods."

"Among them, the ones known as the Twin Moons of the Empire..."

"Pfft..."

When Katie mentioned the term 'Twin Moons of the Empire', Lan Qingyou on the side couldn't help but spit out.

With this, Katie, who was originally telling the story, stopped.

The crowd who was originally listening to the story also turned their heads to look at her strangely.

Everyone didn't understand what this witch was doing just now.

Understandable.

After all, it's highly likely that besides Lan Qingyou, the rest of the people in the manor had probably never even heard of this term.

"Does this Twin Moons of the Empire refer to Albert and Nicolas Romé?"

Lan Qingyou asked while wiping her mouth.

This question made the surrounding manor members even more confused.

Albert?

Nicolas Romé?

What do these two names mean?

And the Twin Moons of the Empire that Katie mentioned.

No matter how you looked at it, this should be a title. Barring any surprises, it should also be a world title recognized by the Will of the World.

"Yes, how did you... Right, I forgot you are an alchemist. It seems you must have obtained someone's manuscript."

Being asked, Katie raised her head in confusion to glance at Lan Qingyou, and then suddenly remembered.

"Yeah."

Lan Qingyou nodded.

She didn't specify whose manuscript she had obtained.

But to Katie, this wasn't important.

After all, whether it was Albert's Alchemical Notes or Nicolas Romé's notebook, she had thrown them out along with the accompanying tools.

As for where they were thrown, that was completely random, so Katie naturally didn't know.

Are you kidding?

Although alchemy materials were very important, the materials for other disciplines were equally important.

With so many disciplines, it was simply impossible for her to think about where to throw each one individually.

So who ultimately obtained what was also completely random.

However, one thing was certain: these guys who obtained the notebooks would ultimately stand in front of her or Esmeralda.

Just like how the people of Tarot Manor were standing in front of her right now.

"Alright, in short, Albert and Nicolas Romé came up with the idea of using sacrifices to increase the magic density of the entire continent, thereby turning the entire continent into a heavy magic zone."

"The benefit of doing this, besides being able to increase the power of magic to fight against the abyss, was that it could also allow more people who originally weren't very capable of using magic to use it easily, thereby increasing the source of troops."
