Chapter 292
Lysinas, the Wise King.
The leader of the Great Heroes.
The Dragon of Wisdom who guided the world to the path of salvation with her insightful vision.
The one who selected heroes and gathered them together.
With countless accolades, Lysinas was the most praised Great Hero, regardless of race.
That’s how special Lysinas’ existence was.
However, apart from everything else, there was one thing that was most special about her.
‘The beginning of everything.’
Everyone in the world gave up and accepted the destruction of the world.
It was a time when everyone could only pray for each day to continue.
It was a world where even the gods had given up.
She drew a grand blueprint, never doubting in the salvation of that world.
Even when fools laughed at her, she silently took one step at a time.
In this way, she gathered the Great Heroes together and created hope for the world.
That’s why everyone considered Lysinas particularly special among the Great Heroes.
A true symbol of salvation.
Leo reached out his hand toward the door of Lysinas’ house.
Thump- squeeeeeeeeak-!
The door opened with the sound of an old hinge.
As Leo opened the door and entered, the illusion of Lysinas’ house appeared again.
Uninvited people could not enter Lysinas’ house.
This was true even for the Great Heroes.
There was only one way to enter.
To destroy the illusionary sorcery created by Lysinas.
However, Leo’s current magical power was insufficient to dismantle the sorcery.
Yet Leo opened the door to enter Lysinas’ manor once again.
He knew.
How to dismantle this illusionary sorcery that protected the house.
Lysinas had taught Kyle the dismantling technique.
‘Why did she tell only me, not even Luna, her best friend?’
Leo stopped walking as this long-standing mystery came to mind.
The look in Lysinas’ eyes, who sometimes cursed openly, flashed through his mind.
Naturally, he also remembered Dweno looking at him with true pity.
No one could enter Lysinas’ house without her permission.
But Lysinas could enter whenever she wanted.
‘No, she said she’d kill me if I entered without permission.’
Leo opened the house’s door again, recalling his friend’s extremely vicious appearance back then.
As soon as the sorcery was activated, he used the dismantling spell.
Whoosh-!
Squeak- bang-!
The door closed and the inside of the house was revealed.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve been here.’
Leo took a moment to look inside the calm air of Lysinas’ house and then started walking.
His destination was clear.
‘Lysinas’ study.’
The treasure trove of knowledge held by the Wise King.
In the distant future, 5,000 years later.
It was the space that had been passed down through the hands of the Dragon Lords for generations and reached Melina.
Of course, the scale of Lysinas’ study was larger than this small house.
But the study itself was a space created by Lysinas.
Leo walked inside the house with familiar steps and reached the library.
Click-!
The door opened, and the study space unfolded.
Thump-
Leo closed the door.
This study housed more than just the literature and materials Lysinas had collected.
‘Lysinas kept one of the Spirit Jewels here.’
Spirit Jewels.
A kind of token that the Great Spirits, who could be considered the kings of the spirits of each attribute, possessed.
Among them, the Jewels of Light and Darkness did not exist in this world.
The Jewel of Darkness was destroyed during the Age of Disaster.
The Jewel of Light had faced the danger of extinction long ago when Kyle and Lysinas subjugated the King of Gluttony, Jormungand, the last Legion Commander.
It was sealed together with Luminous and obtained by Kyle.
However, the Jewels of the other Great Spirits have been passed down to this day.
The Jewels did not have any special powers.
However, their historical value and symbolism were extremely important.
During the Age of Disaster, the owner of the Jewels was not the Great Spirits, but Lysinas.
‘To be exact, the Great Spirits entrusted them to Lysinas.’
During the Age of Disaster, the Great Spirits gave the Jewels to Lysinas as a token of their contract.
Lysinas sealed the Great Spirits within the Jewels.
Of course, she did not confine them, but allowed the Great Spirits to dwell within the Jewels.
Sealing the Great Spirits in the Jewels posed a great risk.
First, the Great Spirits’ range of action was drastically reduced.
The Great Spirits could operate at most within the confines of Godthron.
Second, even Lysinas, the contractor, could not use the Great Spirits’ power without the Jewel.
Lastly, no one other than Lysinas could make a contract with the Great Spirits.
Literally, in this era, no matter how excellent one’s spirit sorcery talent was, it was impossible to contract with the Great Spirits.
The reason she took such risks to seal the Great Spirits in the Jewels was to protect Godthron.
During the Age of Disaster, Godthron had accepted many people as the world’s last bastion.
Although Leisar was called a refugee city, the population of Godthron was much larger than that of Leisar.
To maintain Godthron, light, water, fertile land, and clean air were needed.
‘The Lake of Spirits, where Carr, Ar, and Eiran were transported. The restricted area full of flames, known as the Realm of Fire, where Lunia and Driana went. They are all essential to maintaining Godthron.’
And at the center of them all was a Spirit Jewel.
A Jewel that only Lysinas could touch.
‘And this Jewel is the core of conquering this Hero’s World.’
The Spirit Jewel was both the power of Lysinas and the power of the Great Spirit itself.
If you could use it, you could access Lysinas’ power.
Of course, since no one except Lysinas could use it, in a sense, it was Lysinas’ exclusive weapon.
But…
‘I inherited Lysinas’ power.’
Although her power had disappeared long ago.
The token of the oath that Lysinas had made existed in Leo.
‘If I can summon Katariu… That means I can use the Spirit Jewel as well.’
Thump-thump-
Leo stopped walking.
In the middle of the study.
A silvery round Jewel the size of a thumbnail was carefully kept.
‘The Jewel of Wind.’
The Jewel that sealed the Great Spirit of Wind, Silesta.
Leo approached the Jewel and stretched out his hand.
Whoosh-!
The Jewel reacted when Leo touched it.
However, Silesta, who was still sleeping, did not open her eyes.
‘Three more.’
Leo held the Jewel in his arms.
‘The Giant King’s invasion is in one week.’
Leo took a deep breath as he confirmed his past memories and the present.
‘The Jewel of Wind was easy to obtain, but the other Jewels were not.”
The Lake of Spirits and the Realm of Fire.
And the Temple of Earth was heavily guarded.
It wasn’t easy for Leo to get through there and retrieve the Jewels.
‘But I have to do it.’
Leo stopped walking as he was leaving the study.
He found a desk not far from the entrance.
Leo approached the desk and reached out to a familiar book.
‘Lysinas’s journal.’
Leo looked at the journal for a moment and burst into laughter.

Lunia, Driana, and Carr looked around with extremely tense eyes.
The room was filled with all kinds of weapons.
‘This is the Divine Blacksmith… Dweno’s workshop.’
‘Aren’t these all divine weapons?’
As that thought occurred to Carr, he swallowed a dry throat.
The three of them calmed their trembling bodies and looked at Dweno, who was sitting at the table, drawing something.
“I… um, Master Dweno.”
Lunia carefully opened her mouth.
Dweno stopped moving her hands and looked at Lunia.
“What is it?”
“I… are you going to teach us something…”
“Yes. I have something to teach you.”
Dweno stopped his hands.
Seeing Dweno like that, Driana asked curiously, “What are you drawing?”
Lunia and Carr looked at Driana with bewildered eyes.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Driana narrowed her brows.
“Hey, can you just use a different tone of voice? If you suddenly use a cute girlish tone after using such a crass one for so long, it’s really hard to get used to.”
Driana crossed her arms at Carr’s question.
“My speech is also a sign of respect for Master Dweno. So I could never change it!”
“Why should you imitate the speech of an old dwarf? Just use your original speech.”
“Yes, sir! I understand!”
“You really are so ignorant.”
“That’s right.”
Seeing Driana finally speaking in a manner appropriate for her age, Lunia shook her head, and Carr agreed.
Dweno smiled and said, “What am I drawing, you ask? I’m designing the shape of the weapon I’m going to make.”
Scribble scribble-
Dweno said, holding up the paper, “Would you like to see it?”
At Dweno’s question, the three approached Dweno’s desk with bright eyes.
“Wow- It’s beautiful.”
“Isn’t this a work of art?”
“As expected of Dweno!”
Dweno laughed as he looked at the three amazed spectators.
“Beauty is the essence of this world.”
“That’s right! I think art is the driving force that sustains this world.”
“Oh, a fellow dwarf who knows something.”
Dweno nodded with satisfaction.
“In that sense, I guess.”
Dweno glanced at Lunia.
“You said your name was Lunia? I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Huh? What do you want from me?”
Lunia made a nervous expression.
“You are a very beautiful elf. Just like Luna.”
“Huh? How could someone like me compare to Luna? Oh dear.”
Lunia blushed and didn’t know what to do.
Even so, when the Great Hero Dweno himself said that she was as beautiful as Luna, she couldn’t help but smile.
“But your temper seems to be completely different from Luna’s.”
“Sorry? Could you repeat that?”
“You don’t have to become a delinquent just because you quit being a model student! Why is your demeanor so extreme?” Carr screamed as he saw Lunia grabbing his collar and clenching her fists.
Dweno laughed heartily as he watched her.
“It’s refreshing to see.”
Dweno, who was laughing happily, looked at Lunia.
“Anyway, what is the favor?”
Lunia made a nervous expression.
“Would you like to be a model for my work?”
“A model for your work?”
Lunia smiled shyly.
“Well, it would be an honor if you were to use me…”
“I will pass on your beauty to future generations as a nude model.”
Lunia’s face turned bright red at the words added later.
“W-who, a nude model?”
Seeing Lunia, who was flustered and wrapped her arms around her body, Driana said, “Should I take it off for you?”
“What do you mean take it off? You pervert!”
Lunia glared and hit the back of Driana’s head.
Carr laughed playfully.
“I agree.”
“What?”
Looking at Lunia, whose eyes were turning so fierce that her flesh was trembling, Carr said coldly, “I misspoke. I disagree. That’s actually what I said the first time.”
“Well, I can’t force you to do something you don’t want to do.”
Dweno licked his lips slightly.
Seeing that, Lunia let out a sigh of relief.
“Then let’s get to the point.”
Dweno made a serious expression.
“Carr, I will teach you my alchemy.”
“Huh?”
Carr made a surprised expression.
“Driana, I will teach you how to make weapons.”
Driana made a puzzled expression.
“And Lunia, you.”
Bam-!
“What’s going on? You pervert dwarf. If you keep saying rude things like making me into a nude model, I will really burn you this time.”
A woman with white hair and an extravagant outfit came in.
‘A Phoenix…?’
Lunia, who had been contracted with Phoenix for generations, immediately saw through the identity of the being that appeared before her eyes.
And she felt trembling.
‘The bloodline of the king…!’
“Huh? An elf who handles the flames of the Phoenix. Interesting.”
Katariu looked at Lunia as if she was amused.
Dweno said while watching her, “I will teach you the Essence of Flame.”
