Chapter 175 Former Hero
Leaving the city center and entering a residential community, Yixuan invited Ajiu and others to his home. He opened the study and approached the bookshelves, where all of Haiyun's past was recorded.
"Haiyun was not originally a research park. It was a fortress to fight against sea monsters, and also a military base for mages."
"Due to its geographical location, surrounded by mountains and facing the sea to the east, the threat of sea monsters has always ravaged the people of the past. Eventually, magicians from all over the world united to establish Haiyun and jointly resist the disaster of sea monsters."
"That was before the establishment of the Mage Guild. In Haiyun, magic and knowledge from all over the world gathered, and it was that opportunity that allowed the people of this land to have a truly meaningful mutual learning and exchange."
What Il-hyun delivered was not a history book or biography, but notebooks containing various things about this land.
Haiyun is indeed the most disciplined place, but it is also the place with the most advanced knowledge, where humanity's ultimate understanding of magic and the world converges.
"I've never seen or even heard of many of these things before! How did you even learn about them, Yixuan?!"
"It started out of interest, but then I got hooked and did it day by day, gradually accumulating experience until I achieved what I have today."
He simply stated that he didn't take what he did too seriously; he had simply stuck to his interests from the beginning until today.
"During the interdimensional invasion ten years ago, Haiyun's status was elevated, leading the various states to unite against the enemy, transmitting knowledge to establish defenses, and the former war fortress became a holy place in the eyes of mankind, bringing hope and strength to everyone."
"However, such good days were extremely short-lived. Humanity was almost completely defeated by the otherworldly forces and was driven to the coastal areas to become homeless. At that time, the leader of Haiyun realized that human magic alone could not turn the tide, and that humanity needed the power of unity."
Next comes the story that is well-known to the locals. Ajiu, Xiaoen, and Zhaoyu have all heard this history since they were young.
"Muban, the leader of the Sea Clouds at the time and now the guild master, has brought together monsters and humans. Magic and magical beasts have become allies fighting side by side, and wild beasts have donned armor made by humans to fight against the invasion of monsters from another world."
Ajiu took out her legendary magic book and began to explain what she knew.
"The Earth Guardians and Earth Masters became the vanguard of the human-monster alliance at that time. The Earth Guardians controlled by the Earth Masters became leaders that both humans and monsters were willing to trust. They charged ahead to protect the common home of humans and monsters."
Sean put away his land blessing magic, focused his mind, and recalled various memories from his childhood.
"Telepathic magic became the most widely circulated magic at the time, realizing the first step in communication between humans and monsters. This was inseparable from the long-standing exemplary role of the Langye State Republic, and everyone saw the possibility of hope from Langye State."
Zhao Yu unfolded the map and focused his gaze on the territory of Langye Prefecture. The previous lord was one of the greatest contributors to promoting the alliance between humans and monsters.
"After eliminating the threat of interdimensional invasion, Muban, who became a legendary figure in this battle, ordered the establishment of the Mage Guild, which brought together the strength of all humans and monsters to serve the public. This is a fact that is widely acknowledged."
"Later, President Muban resigned as leader of Haiyun and focused on magical research as president of the Mage Guild. Haiyun was subsequently transformed from a fortress into a research park. However, its internal militarized management remained unchanged. After all, this is the front line connecting the public's homes and the ocean. What if some stupid sea monster came along and caused trouble?"
After explaining Haiyun's background, Yixuan looked out the window. Guild members were already patrolling the streets, just like before.
"Although the leader of Haiyun has changed, the power ultimately remains in the hands of the guild master. He is the highest-ranking person in our world who controls magic and combat power. Even though the headquarters of the Mage Guild where Guild Master Muban is located has moved, he still has the ability to change our world."
Without fear or unease, without dissatisfaction or anxiety in his tone, Yixuan was simply stating his research findings objectively. He had no ulterior motives for doing what he was doing; he simply felt that someone had to see the world clearly.
Yixuan wants to be a hero; he's always wanted to, which is why he wants to understand, learn more, and broaden his horizons. He makes the most of what society can offer; and what society cannot provide, he'll explore on his own.
Old paper, tattered pages, and simple line drawings record the world as it is, while interviews tell people's stories and thoughts.
The bookshelf may not be large, but it can hold the world within its walls; the desktop may not be wide, but it is wide enough to bear the true face of the world; every word and phrase contains the magic unique to words.
With a snap, Yao Hui placed his hand on the desk covered with documents. The sudden vibration caused the magic array recorded on the papers to fluctuate abnormally, and various magical energies leaked out in an instant. Meanwhile, Mu Ban, sitting opposite him, remained calm and composed.
"I'm so sorry, Guild Master. We didn't receive any notice of the Hero's sudden visit, and he insisted on seeing you in person. We couldn't persuade him to stay, and we are truly sorry."
"It's alright, it's not your fault. You can all go out first. I need to speak with Mr. Yaohui alone."
The guard behind him, who looked flustered, finally spoke up and confessed his guilt to the leader. Muban really didn't expect Yaohui to come to him on his own initiative. The incident happened suddenly and he was not prepared at all. However, Muban knew a thing or two about the reasons behind it.
Upon hearing the chairman's words, all the researchers around them put down their work and left through the door. They had a thousand questions in their minds but dared not show their faces. The clash of auras emanating from the chairman and the hero made the ordinary people's minds in turmoil.
Renovated floors, clean walls, and cutting-edge magic arrays are everywhere. The colorful, glowing instruments are exquisite in both appearance and function.
The ceiling is arranged in a stepped pattern along the rock face. The magic circle in the center of the cave is now surrounded by layers of barriers. The most precious and rare research object inside is the Zeta Ascendant.
This place bears no resemblance to the dark cave it once was. It is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious places Yaohui has ever seen in the world. All the wise figures of the Mage Guild are at the disposal of Muban.
Yao Hui didn't care about Mu Ban's goals; he didn't care about Mu Ban's methods!
Yaohui came here this time just to see with his own eyes what Muban's attitude was towards him, Zeta, and the world!
