Lothur saw in his mind how this area was 2.8 thousand years ago when suddenly a group of 3 people with battle marks on their clothes came into the village.
Two of them had pointed ears but also human features, while the third, a woman, looked a little less like them, with much sharper Ancestral Folk features.
This woman looked extremely old, missing an arm, and looked exhausted, not from battle but from her own life.
When they flew into this village, the three seemed hurried and worried about something, probably asking for help.
But in this memory, they did not seem to have received any such help from the village elders. On the contrary, they were turned away while everyone in the village hid in their homes.
Lothur could not hear what these people talked about, but judging by their expressions, way of speech, and actions, he did not need to hear to more or less understand the situation.
While being pursued, these creatures thought of hiding there but were rejected, probably because the people of that village did not want any trouble with the enemies of the three.
After being rejected, they tried to escape, but a group of human cultivators surrounded them before they even left the village.
A battle ensued, resulting in the destruction of several houses around the village and the death of one of the two hybrids.
The other two survived, but the surviving hybrid, badly wounded, was captured, while only the Ancestral Folk's woman managed to escape.
She was distraught when this happened, feeling pain not from the deep wounds in her body but from the tragedy of the day.
But from what Lothur saw and felt from the aura that such a woman emitted, she had been strong enough to run away to try to save the hybrid in the future.
If she escaped, she could have a chance to save the hybrid. But if she fell in there with him, it would be the end of them all!
After her escape, the group of humans headed east, leaving the area until Lothur no longer saw anything related to them.
'If that's Verna, it looks like she survived her passage through the Ancestral Region about 3,000 years ago... Hmm, she probably went to that place on behalf of one of those two.n0velusb.c0m
She probably tried to save them from trouble but failed.
Lothur thought about what he had just seen and concluded that he would have to go to the capital of the Petha Empire to solve the mystery of Mathias' family.
But he had a feeling that if the one in his vision was Verna, she had probably died shortly after the battle he had witnessed.
One of the two hybrids, probably her son, had died, while the other had been captured. The chance that Mathias' entire family had died long ago was very high!
Depending on what he could achieve by contacting the imperial family, his mission would be over, and he could return to Leopoldine.
When he opened his eyes and got up from where he had been working for over a week, Lothur saw a few people around watching him, but he didn't bother to talk to anyone.
He just moved and left without looking back.
...
Two Days Later...
On his way to the capital of the Petha Empire, Lothur had been involved in a large battle the day before, which had been caused by a dispute between beasts in the area.
He joined the conflict with no choice but to fight the creatures who clearly had no respect for his existence, killing one Supreme beast and seriously wounding another.
However, due to the number of creatures fighting on this occasion, Lothur had suffered a bit to eliminate the trouble caused by the 7 Supreme beasts.
The injuries he had suffered were not serious. However, he still spent a lot of energy defeating his opponents and healing the injuries on his body.
Therefore, he was still standing at the place where he had fought, meditating in the middle of an area where several corpses were scattered over hundreds of square meters.
But as he stood there with his eyes closed, Lothur suddenly felt a strange mental fluctuation and opened his eyes.
"Oh?" He opened his mouth to see a creature similar to the projection he had encountered in the Immortals Well!
'A dinosaur! I didn't expect to find something like that here!' He immediately identified the creature, which looked like a giant chicken with scales and hostile attributes.
Seeing the human looking at him, the dinosaur, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, stopped where he spotted Lothur and considered what to do.
But before he could make up his mind about whether to leave or fulfill his mission, Lothur stood up and asked, "Hey, where did you come from? Why are you here?"
This was a level 21 creature, but it didn't want any trouble with a being capable of killing all those beasts in the area. So this creature did not answer Lothur right away, raised its head, and let out a shrill scream.
'Trying to call for backup? I haven't even done anything!' Lothur shouted in his mind as he put his hands to his ears, realizing that this creature was more cowardly than its appearance suggested.
"Hey, don't do that. I only killed them because they dragged me into their conflict!" Lothur flew toward this creature, but the dinosaur immediately began to flee the area, fearing that he would fall to this "human" in the same manner as those he had followed.
"Elder, I am being chased by a human! He killed all our targets. Please help me!" This creature shouted as it fled, flying so fast that the gap between him and Lothur only widened.
Lothur just wanted to ask this creature a few questions as he seemed to be from the same tribe as the dinosaur that had tested him in the last level of the Immortals Well. But seeing his reaction, the young man with black hair gave up on the idea, feeling that he would let fate bring him into contact with such a being.
'What a coward!' He thought to himself as he stopped and let go of the beast, smiling as he shook his head negatively.
He looked in another direction and saw a large mountain in the distance, which he knew was the capital of this state.
Seeing that place, he didn't hesitate. He manipulated the space around him, traveling toward the mountain, which was tens of kilometers away from where he was.
As he disappeared from the area, a large eye appeared above where he had left, staring intently at his spiritual path.
