Chapter 1035 -375 Amber Master

——A thousand years ago, the Spirit Summoning Tower was relocated into the Helasal Empire?

Aleister fell into deep thought.

Aiwass had studied Elf history for a while when he was in the Holy Nation.

The elves of the Holy Nation primarily used two kinds of calendars, namely the current Moon Calendar and the old Amber Calendar.

The former marks the time when Eternal Self ascended to become a Pillar God, while the latter marks the birthtime of Amber.

After all, both Eternal Self and Amber completely changed the entire world’s situation.

Aleister had no knowledge of the era before the birth of Amber, but the birth of Eternal Self directly caused the extinction of demon beasts. Many inheritances created to combat these demon beasts were thus lost, and the races that co-existed with the demon beasts, such as the Lizardfolk, rapidly declined; the era dedicated to racial survival ended, and an era filled with myriad desires and disputes emerged.

——The era belonging to humans also gradually arrived.

Before that, Horus was established by Avianfolk with a small number of Lizardfolk, the Parthian Ancient Country belonged to Lizardfolk with a few Avianfolk and Serpentfolk, and the far eastern Primordial Empire was once the territory of Dragons and Serpentfolk. The main races of the Helasal Empire were Avianfolk, Dwarves, and a few Goblins.

However, after Eternal Self became a god, their territories gradually became human territories.

Because humans had no concept of the Amber Calendar, they only used the Moon Calendar.

The year 6174 of the Amber Calendar was when Eternal Self ascended to become a Pillar God. It was also the first year of the Moon Calendar.

The elves only started adopting the Moon Calendar, believing that Eternal Self had completely changed that era about two hundred years after the birth of humans. Both calendars ran concurrently until the Amber Calendar was completely discontinued in the thousandth year of the Moon Calendar.

It’s now the year 1899 in the Moon Calendar, and the Spirit Summoning Tower was relocated into the core territories of the Helasal Empire a thousand years ago, around the year 899 of the Moon Calendar.

By this point, the Helasal Empire had been established for exactly five hundred years.

“…Something doesn’t seem quite right.”

Aleister’s brows furrowed slightly: “This means the Winged principal had found the spine of the Spirit Amber Celestial Marshal three hundred years after the establishment of the empire? But then another two hundred years passed before moving into the empire… What happened during that time?”

Suddenly, Albert realized something.

He asked somewhat perplexed: “Are you saying… that the Spirit Summoning Tower was also a mage school established by the Avianfolk?”

“Yes, those Birdmen are born spellcasters. Among all ancient races, those ancient beings with wings were the most adept at various kinds of spells… It could be said that the vast majority of modern spells are inherited from them.”

Adolf nodded: “Their innate talent for casting spells is much stronger than that of humans. Avianfolk don’t need magic wands, nor do they need to learn the principles of spells, they can cast spells by instinct. The time it takes for humans to learn a spell, Avianfolk could roughly master a whole system…”

“So… where have they all gone now?”

Aurora asked quietly: “Did they leave the Spirit Summoning Tower?”

Adolf looked meaningfully at the three young-looking individuals.

“No,” his voice was cold and ruthless, “Our ancestors are always with us.”

As he said this, he raised his head.

Aleister instinctively looked up too, staring at the ceiling.

The next moment, her eyes widened.

——She saw that hanging above the chandelier on the ceiling were numerous skulls!

Each skull flickered with a dim yellow flame, silently overlooking them.

“Necromancers have a bad reputation, which is somewhat of a prejudice… but this prejudice is not without basis. Our ancestors indeed committed unforgivable evil deeds…”

Black Minister Adolf slowly said: “This is the original sin.

“Humans, as a nascent race, were merely ‘teaching assistants’ at the Spirit Summoning Tower, serving as experimental subjects for the Avianfolk’s study of the emergent technology of Necromancy. It was not until the first ‘Anonymous’ principal gradually ascended from a teaching assistant to a student, and then from a student to a mentor. Ultimately, he fostered his own faction… and finally, with the aid of the Spirit Amber Celestial Marshal, seized control of the entire Tower.

“All Avianfolk were slaughtered… To prevent them from seeking revenge against humans after ascending en masse, ‘Anonymous’ imprisoned their souls within skulls, preserving them here. As this was an act of killing his mentor and massacre, he did not leave his own name for posterity to remember. His own skull is also somewhere among them, serving as a hypocritical atonement… and likewise a torment to himself.

“Indeed, it was only after that event that humans fully mastered the arcane inheritance of the Spirit Summoning Tower. From another perspective, it was also since then that humans were no longer mere experimental fodder for the Avianfolk.

“Compared to the Spirit Summoning Tower, all branching inheritances of the ancient Tower of Truth had long since ceased, only being revived through archaeology. Only our lineage is naturally intact. It is for this reason that we were able to become the sole inheritors of the Tower of Truth. Thus, I say, in some sense, we come from four thousand years ago.

“But from another perspective, the Spirit Summoning Tower belonging to humans began a thousand years ago.

“Precisely because we seized the inheritance belonging to the Avianfolk, to this day the Horus People still regard the necromancers from the Spirit Summoning Tower as enemies. They continue to claim that one day they will reclaim their heritage… although they are actually not those Avianfolk.

“That is a thousand-year-old oath of vengeance—every generation of principals believes that there will be an explanation one day. The tradition of temporarily abandoning one’s own name upon becoming a ‘principal’ also started from that time.”

Adolf glanced at Albert and Aurora, clearly shaken, and Aleister, who appeared thoughtful, and sighed, “There was no written record left of the events of those days, only verbal transmissions that couldn’t clarify everything. To this day, there’s no need to worry too much… Since we are humans, we can only live as humans.”

“But there must be some who can’t accept this truth, right?”

Aleister suddenly spoke up: “Like… Amber Master?”

It came as no surprise to Adolf when Aleister mentioned this name.

After all, that was the only person in the world who mastered the Resurrection Technique—before the revival potion was reinvented, people who wished to revive others could only request Amber Master’s intervention.

“Indeed, Master Durer might also have left the Spirit Summoning Tower for this reason… because he did not want to bear the burden of this millennia-old hatred,” Adolf quickly responded, well-aware of this friend of the principal. “Otherwise… perhaps the ‘principal’ might have been not the old teacher, but Amber Master himself. Yes, we’re here now.”

“After all, he is the world’s strongest Preserver…”

As Aleister spoke, she approached Fernando, turned into a stone statue, and slightly furrowed her brow.

This was not what she had anticipated.

She already knew that this was the individual burnt to death by the Defiant Flame Butterfly during the promotion ceremony.

But now, this was no longer damage caused by fire… but rather a soul shattered due to a curse.

This level of soul damage would really require Aiwass’s personal treatment to potentially resolve it. Because it probably needs the utilization of Aiwass’s liquid soul for repair…

Aleister subconsciously touched the liquid soul in her pocket, her eyebrows tightly furrowed.

She could cure it, but…

Seeing Aleister’s troubled expression, Adolf sighed without surprise: “If we can’t find the former Pope who is traveling outside, we probably need to ask Amber Master for help.

“If Fernando’s problem is really difficult to solve… I think, in the end, it might be safer to seek his intervention.”

“Where is Amber Master?”

Aleister breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked.

She was indeed not too keen on using this bottle of liquid soul… but having promised, she also didn’t quite want to go back on her word. Not to mention, this was indeed the man Aiwass had killed in the past.

Although Aiwass himself didn’t mind… Aleister also didn’t want someone to hold a grudge against Aiwass for this reason.

“As for the master, he seems to be searching for a relic from the Age of Amber.”

Since Fernando was Adolf’s most beloved student, Adolf was quite attentive: “As far as I know, the master is currently preparing to explore a relic from the Age of Avian People. That should relate to the remnants of the Tower of Truth. He is currently acting as an investor, anonymously soliciting archaeologists… the money was borrowed from me. If you hadn’t come, I would have suggested that Aurora go ask around.

“If you know any archaeologists, you might also suggest they try their luck.

“With some luck, perhaps you could meet him through this!”
