Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

The young princess then continued to speak to Reji in a calm manner:

"Throughout the entire history of the dimensional universe, there have only been two exceptions that could avoid pollution. The Demon Race is one, and the \'Hero\' who defeated the Demon Race a thousand years ago is the other."

"Very similar to the Demon King\'s apostles, the Hero from a thousand years ago also had many companions. Although their strength was not as great as the apostles, each of them was at least at the eighth tier like me, or even higher."

"But from what I\'ve seen in history, these Hero companions never exhibited any pollution phenomena. Each of their minds was very stable, and their spirits and bodies never showed the slightest tendency to develop towards \'mutation\'."

"I don\'t believe those companions could have achieved this on their own. Undoubtedly, there must have been some kind of power from the Hero that isolated them from pollution and achieved a protective effect."

Louise, who had been talking non-stop, suddenly sighed at this point, and a look of regret and disappointment appeared on the young ancestress\' face.

"If I could have a conversation with that Hero from a thousand years ago, perhaps I could learn more, but that\'s no longer possible."

"In any case, the relic in your hand and everything that just happened prove that my guess is correct. Indeed, even if the Hero is no longer around, using his relic can still have a similar effect of resisting pollution."

This loli princess seemed to be conversing with Reji, but in fact, her gaze was lowered, her hands crossed between her legs in a contemplative pose, constantly reasoning and analyzing, until finally, she raised her fair face again, those red eyes of the Blood Race staring straight at Reji.

"The importance each prince places on the Hero\'s relics is greater than their own lives. In other words, the fact that this relic is in your hands means that the Crown Prince is already dead, right?"

"That\'s right." Reji nodded.

Although she had a mental expectation, after getting a definite answer from Reji, Louise still furrowed her brows, her beautiful face now filled with chaotic worries and thoughts.

"The Crown Prince is actually dead. He controlled the entire Mage Nation, how could someone like that possibly die? Could it be that in these years, the humans on the surface have reshuffled? Who did it? The Seventh Prince? No, since you can appear in Stillwater Prison, it means you\'re the Second Prince\'s person, so...

Hehe, I really underestimated that fellow Danye."

"So what is Danye\'s purpose in sending you down here? Wait, could it be that the Second Prince had already anticipated the disappearance of the Gloom, so he sent you to help us?"

Seeing Louise speculating on her own, this time Reji shook his head.

"Unfortunately, there was a riot in the Court of Judgment, and the Second Prince sacrificed himself in this upheaval. However, you were right, one of the purposes of my coming to Stillwater Prison is to help you get out of your predicament, leave this place, and return to the surface."

After Reji\'s words, before Louise could even be shocked, the other human scholars who had been eavesdropping outside couldn\'t hold back anymore.

Bang!

The door to the conference room was pushed open, and many scholars who rushed in looked as if they had received a great shock, staring at Reji in disbelief.

"You, what did you say! Prince Danye is dead! No, this can\'t be true! How is that possible!"

It wasn\'t until Reji took out the jade core that the Second Prince had given him that many scholars, including Louise, recognized at a glance that this was a token unique to the Second Prince, and only then did they believe Reji\'s words.

The faces of many scholars immediately showed despair. It felt as if the sky had collapsed all at once.

"Why... Damn it! I had clearly developed a way to remove the insect eggs! Why did this happen! All the efforts were in vain! We...

we can never get out again!!"

This scholar, who had deflated and sat dejectedly in the corner of the wall, caught Reji\'s attention, and he immediately asked, "Remove the insect eggs?"

"This was the task the Second Prince gave me. If we want to resist the Emperor one day in the future, we must remove the insect eggs the Emperor planted in all humans. My experiments had succeeded, and the insect eggs in us Stillwater prisoners had all been removed, but... Damn it! What\'s the use of that now?"

"Without the Second Prince\'s protection, we are just lambs to the slaughter after going out. The Emperor won\'t let us off, the Empire won\'t let us off. It\'s over, it\'s all over..."

Other scholars were also assigned similar tasks by the Second Prince to varying degrees, such as writing the truth, exposing the Emperor\'s atrocities, researching spells, retrieving the knowledge sealed by the Empire, and so on.

Although these were not as significant as "eliminating the insect eggs", they were all methods to rebel and fight against the Emperor. Your journey continues at mvl

It was also the Second Prince\'s guarantee to unite these scholars and make them wholeheartedly work hard. Everything was for the sake of overthrowing the Empire\'s rule and restoring human society.

But now, without the Second Prince as their protective umbrella, facing the Empire\'s absolutely overwhelming power, they couldn\'t think of any other force in this world that could contend with it and protect them. So now, this group of scholars was in such despair, shocked to the point of directly rushing in upon hearing of the Second Prince\'s death.
