The Ancients World Chapter 15
Advertisement
After reading these 2 diaries I understand why they say you can find more than what your looking for on legacy and higher quests. I wonder if the old man would be interested in this book as well. I take one last look around this room and I feel so much pity for Elenore and her people, if there is a possibility to bring them back I should at least try.
I make my way out of the bedroom as I put the diary of Elenore into my inventory. I look down the hallway I came from knowing I have everything I came for. It is starting to get late in the afternoon and I still need to meet up with my griffin. I approach the main door and I can see the entrance to the main chambers across from the door. There is something very powerful in there and I am not high enough level to take whatever it is on.
A part of me is angry that I am not strong enough to enter the dungeon and face the creature inside. I turn away from it swallowing my pride and leaving. There is still sunlight out and I guess I may have another hour before dinner. I make my way down the long path back to the old man and I eventually have a view of the front door. I can also see my griffin waiting outside for me. I guess the man in this place is capable of many things, he was also nice enough to bring my griffin here.
I push open the door and I can see the same fire and man waiting there. "Thanks for bringing my griffin here for me. Saves me the time to go and meet up with him." The old man has a pipe in his mouth now sucking on tobacco.
The man looks over to me and smiles. "Not a problem young man. So how did it go in there?" I got everything I needed and I reach into my inventory and pull out 2 diaries, as I look back at him he looks as if I just scored very well on a test.
I place them next to him and close my inventory. He picks up Melina's and starts to read it himself. He starts from the beginning though. "I read the diary as well and it only shed a little bit of light on the history of this place. I figure that maybe Elenore's diary would answer some of the questions that were left unanswered by Melina." He nods with a wise look on his face as I speak.

He takes a long suck of his tobacco pipe and blows out smoke. "I was wondering if you would go the extra mile and satisfy your curiosity. That is an important quality of any explorer, and you have done well. I can also see you gained a lot of strength in there. The most impressive thing to me is that you restrained yourself from going into the main chamber. That wisdom is what most do not have." I guess he was testing me for some reason. I get a notification from the system and I open it.
[This NPC wishes to reveal all of his information with you]
[Do you accept? Y/N]
I look to the man for permission and he nods his head in approval. I think yes and I get to view all the information about a character instead of just there name, level, and health. I am flabbergasted by what I see.
[The Grandmaster Magician Wilmer Lvl.500 tier 10 Strategic Defense Mage]
[Description: Wilmer is one of the strongest mages on the continent and is the leading authority in defense magic. He comes from the capital city Greshca, and this is where all the greatest mages come from after learning from the ancient texts of Yemen. Wilmer is almost 200 years old, as a master of magic he can change his age. He prefers to look older to keep himself honest.]
14,000,000,000/14,000,000,000 HP
This is the strongest NPC I have ever talked too. You can count the amount of Grandmaster Magicians alive right now on one hand. They all chose to do self imposed exile in search of greater knowledge. The lore stats every 25 years they meet for tea and discuss there findings over a week long period. The location of the event is hidden and impossible to know without asking one of the Grandmasters. "Wow Wilmer, you are truly a powerful man. I never would have thought I'd meet a Grandmaster Magician out here in my quest." He laughs out loud and closes the diary to talk to me.
He set his pipe down to we can have a clear conversation. "Slayer Zern, it is so nice to talk to another person after so many year. I am glad that you are a polite young man, I cant stand nobles and kings these days. Speaks too your character being so humble as The Son of Arch-Angel Michael. Others would parade around with that type of bloodline." I am glad he thinks so, I am never one to pick fights with people or be disrespectful. I wasn't raised to be that type of man. After a couple seconds of silence I get a system notification the same time Wilmer is reaching into his space storage.

I can pretty much dominate any player no matter what gear they have at this point, my dungeon armor set has leveled up with me as well. I hear one of the things I hate the most in my entire life. Surprisingly it is only a little bit about me. I am glad that the system measures peoples strength before they release there names in association with mine. Nobody can force Wilmer to do anything, not even the church. My secret is safe with Wilmer, I will have to be more wise on when I show this seal though. Smart ones can connect the dots.
[World-wide Announcement: The Grandmaster Magician Wilmer has found the last pieces of his documents on ancient times! New spells and skills will become available to the players in 30 days and once they reach level 125! The Son of Arch-Angel Michael has provided invaluable help in this task and will have his identity protected by Wilmer and his allies!]
[World mission announcement: The church of light will reward a legacy great sword for the location of The Grandmaster Magician Wilmer!]
[World Mission announcement: The church of the dark ones will reward a legacy class quest for the location of The Grandmaster Magician Wilmer!]
I have everything I need now and all I need to ask him is if he has any information on Bellvia I can use. "Grandmaster Wilmer, do you have any information regarding the kingdom of Bellvia and its involvement with the dryads?" Wilmer looks at me with sharp and calculating eye's, after a couple of seconds his expression softens and he reaches into his bag and pulls out a book. He hands it to me and I inspect it.
[Diary of Fredrick Moris]
[Description: This diary belonged to the Duke Fredrick Moris of Elinstein city, he was one of the 3 Dukes in Belliva's country.]
[Quality: Legacy]
[Durability: NA]
This looks like it will provide information on what I am looking for, it is very big however. "This belonged to one of the Dukes in the country of Bellvia. He was alive and in charge of Elinstein city during the time these other diary's where being written. I never read more than a few pages because of how boring it was. I may be old, but I am short on patience often. Good luck Slayer Zern in your journeys, I'll buy you a drink the next time we meet." After he said that his body began to float and a bright light fills the room. After I get my sight back I notice he is gone with everything I gave him. He left the fire for me which is nice.
I figure now would be a good time to get off and get ready for dinner. I go outside and I bring the griffin in so he has a place to stay that will be safe. I don't think monsters come into the grounds so I have nothing to worry about. I log off after I lay down on my sleeping roll and I leave the game world as my game character sleeps. I don't want to be late for family time so I leave my laptop and head downstairs. Unknown to Cera, the threads are going crazy right now and a similar thing is happening in Ancients World.
