92 Chapter 92: The Beginning

Musashi halted his footsteps and turned around to face Caesar, he had a contemplative expression as he stroked his beard.

"Hmm, there are many races that can charm, such as a vampire, succubus, incubus, siren, and many more, however, there are only a select few races that can involuntarily charm others"

Both Caesar and Ahri urged him to continue with their eyes, even the kobold elder that joined their group late was looking at Musashi inquiringly.

"Both the valkyries and the nymphs are well-loved races, the Valkyrie have a strong holy affinity which naturally attracts others with it's warm and loving energy, while the nymphs are forest-dwelling girls that love attention and familial love… both attract others with a different sort of charm, however, both races have unfortunately gone extinct"

Caesar stroked his chin in deep thought, 'Elizabeth could be either one, I had never actually tested nor sensed the mana within her body, so perhaps she is a nymph?'

"You never told me about these two races before, grandfather, how did they go extinct"? Ahri asked curiously, she had wanted to know which race Elizabeth was, but there was no way they could tell without the person in question being present.

"Haha, the story behind the Valkyrie and the Nymphs are quite tragic, why would I have told such a story to a young girl such as yourself" Musashi chuckled dryly and explained.

Ahri rolled her eyes and Caesar's brows furrowed, "please do tell us more about them, I would like to think that they are no longer extinct…" Caesar asked, the more information they knew about both the Valkyrie and Nymph, the better.

"Ohoo, you say they are no longer extinct huh? Interesting…" Musashi spoke with a strange smile.

Caesar couldn't help but roll his eyes in annoyance 'this old man is purposely making it suspenseful... '

"Well, long ago, both of them belonged to two separate factions, the valkyries sided with the church while the nymphs sided with the fallen angels, or as you know them by, the four progenitors… you see, the nymphs may not sound all that powerful, however, they were the only race to have possessed the very rare nature affinity, which makes it possible to create forests in mere minutes, and while it is capable of creating life, it is also capable of healing... because of this, the Nymphs were the first priority to be annihilated in the great war"

Musashi paused and opened up one of his eyes to observe both Caesar's and Ahri's expression, seeing that they were still amused, he continued.

"The nymphs never killed others and were mostly a peaceful race, so because of this atrocity committed by the church, the first progenitor was enraged, alas, this was also about the same time his wife was brutally murdered and conspired against by his own kin, thus, a rampage ensued, with the Valkyries being the first progenitors priority to slaughter"

"I'm a bit confused, although Ahri has mentioned some of this before, I was wondering why the progenitors had betrayed the first progenitor, furthermore, you had referred to them as the fallen angels?" Caesar blurted out a few questions once Musashi paused his story, he was very intrigued by the history of this world.

"No mighty man wants to ruled over, but, with the first progenitor being stronger than the other progenitors, they would never get the chance to actually stand on top, thus their greed took over them with the promise of strength, even I am not certain as to what they were promised, however, one thing is for sure, they were not given it" Musashi calmly explained and continued his footsteps.

Caesar followed closely behind him and tilted his head, "I see, but why do you refer to them as the fallen angels?" he asked, and Ahri nodded her head from behind him, she was also quite curious.

"The myriad of races in this world are generally created from reproduction, however, according to legend, there needed to be a beginning, in this case, the 12 apostles, or angels, were the beginning… they were the strongest and holiest of races, alas, many of the angels wanted absolute order while Lucifer the oldest angel, and also the first progenitor, prided freedom"

Musashi paused for a second and continued…

"So, a separate faction was created, Lucifer, along with his three younger brothers created the vampires while the remaining eight angels created the humans, the four fallen angels sacrificed their ability of light for darkness, the only ability which can kill an immortal"

His words were cut off as they reached a ragged looking shack, on top of the shack was a wooden plank with two words etched into it 'Farmers Foundation'

"Ah, it would appear we have arrived, by the way, take everything I just told you with a grain of salt, although I am quite old, I am not old enough to the point of knowing all of his information for certain, in fact, most of this was told to me by my very own grandfather," Musashi said with wry smile while opening the farmers foundation door.

*creak*

Both Caesar and Ahri nodded their head with absentminded expression while Caesar had a strange look on his face… 'it's quite similar to some of the religions in my past life, albeit it is a bit different, however, they share the same concept besides the fact that 'god' isn't present, perhaps both earth and this world share something in common?' Caesar quietly thought to himself as he walked in the farmer's foundation.

He shook his head and decided to stop thinking about such troublesome matters, at the very least, they figured out that Elizabeth should either be a Nymph or Valkyrie, or on the contrary just a very cute little girl, but the former was more likely.

Caesar looked around the farmer's foundation whilst deep in thought, there were plants and flowers placed all over the place while quite a few older looking fox-kin were studying them and writing down notes in what looked to be a notebook…

The old fox-kin in the shack didn't even notice the presence of both Musashi and Caesar as they just continued to scribble down words on paper.

"Juzo! I brought somebody that is very knowledgeable when it comes to agriculture, perhaps you would like to trade secrets!" Musashi roared at the top of lungs, to which all of the farmers inside the shack, raised their eyes curiously.

The corner of Caesar's lips curled, 'puting the matters of Elizabeth and the four progenitors aside, I should focus on my current problem, the trolls' Caesar thought inwardly and took a step forward.
