‘I don’t understand what you’re talking about.’
Leffenhardt also knew the ancient people of the Silver Age well. I also knew that they spoke ancient elven or ancient dwarven languages.
But I never thought of those ancient people as elves or dwarves.
There was a reason for that.
‘Then what were the elves and dwarves of that time?’
In his previous life, Leffenhardt had seen ancient people, elves, and dwarves appearing together in artifacts from the Silver Age. Some artifacts were found by the person himself, while others were owned by elves or dwarves in remote areas.
‘Right now, just by hearing Eleusion’s voice, blonde elves with long ears come out.’
Additionally, if you use Eleusion’s voice to a higher level, orcs and trolls will also appear. Since the play style is to drop all the boards before the orcs and trolls attack, the orcs appear in a vicious state and the trolls are implemented in a berserk state, but it is clear that they will appear anyway.
Yes, in the Silver Age there were definitely elves, dwarves, orcs, and trolls. And also the silver-haired and black-haired ancient people.
Leffenhardt was lost in thought.
“Uhm, what the hell is this…” … .”
Compared to ancient people, there are very few artifacts depicting elves and dwarves. However, all Silver Age artifacts are written in Old Elvish and Old Dwarven. The world only knew it as an ancient language, but Repenhardt, who was well versed in linguistics, knew that the ancient language was of the same family as the existing elven and dwarven languages.
Based on this, this was the conclusion Leffenhardt came to in his previous life.
The Silver Age civilization was led by elves and dwarves.
The ancient people who became the ancestors of mankind were following suit.
The orcs and trolls of that time were leading nature-friendly lives, just like they are now, so their traces are not easily visible.
‘If you compare the reproductive power of elves and dwarves with that of humans, the difference in the number of artifacts is not that strange.’
From an archaeological point of view, this was the most likely hypothesis.
‘But the ancient people were actually ancient elves and ancient dwarves?’
For a moment, I wondered if the silver wise men did not know about the existence of elves and dwarves.
Of course, that couldn’t have been the case. Because there was information in the information right away that said, ‘An elf with long ears and a thin body, or a dwarf with pointed ears and excessively short and thick body could not be considered human.’
‘I don’t know why the Silver Sage came to that conclusion.’
It is understandable that the Silver Sage would try to hide the ancient secret.
The fact that humans, who were believed to be the lord of all creation, and elves and dwarves, who were thought to be slaves, existed above them may feel like a shame to extreme people.
‘But there’s no need to turn ancient people into elves and dwarves?’
If there are elves who look like tall humans and dwarves who look like short humans, isn’t it clearest to think of them as just tall and short humans?
However, it does not seem like the Silver Sage intentionally manipulated the information.
They were people who even manipulated history in order to protect humanity and increase the pride of humanity. There was no reason to believe that the ancient people were ancient elves and ancient dwarves, let alone the obvious and most likely conclusion.
‘Even today’s elves and dwarves living in remote areas believe that ancient people are the ancestors of humans.’
It’s a contradiction.
It doesn’t fit together at all.
‘Something… … ‘Is there something I don’t know?’
With doubts, Leffenhardt searched the information spheres some more. But there was no more information than that.
‘It’s a shame.’
I clicked my tongue and put aside my worries for now. As I searched through post-imperial history, I began to find a wealth of records about what the Sages of Silver did to protect their secrets.
Kill ruin explorers who have access to secrets, steal relics, secretly exterminate new ideas that appear, eliminate kings or nobles who question other races and try to create new systems, and if they are unable to do anything, move other countries. He did not hesitate even to overthrow the kingdom.
While handling all of this, he never revealed his true identity. Even the name Silver Sage was completely hidden. No matter how secret an organization is, its existence or name may become known in the form of folk tales over time, but they did not tolerate even that.
Reppenhardt was astonished as he read the record.
‘I can’t believe people like this existed in the world…’ … .’
I felt like I knew why the human kingdoms were able to come together so well in my past life. Because these guys were behind it, a great war that made no sense to common sense could have happened.
‘You said Tethron and Jade were silver sages, right? Then it must have been the same in my past life.’
Considering that the current Yussus is Eun’s collaborator, the swordsman Cyrus at the time would also have been Eun’s collaborator. In a past life, Cyrus had pushed out Yussus and taken over as the head of Tenes.
Considering that Alex, who could not possibly exist in this era, appeared with Thesron and Jade, Alex in his past life must also have been related to the Silver Sage. Since Saint Elin was also a priest of Sayre, it was highly likely that she belonged to the Sages of Silver.
In other words, it means that the group of five warriors who killed the Four Heavenly Kings and cornered Repenhardt in his previous life were all sent by the Silver Sage.
Snapping.
Leffenhardt gritted his teeth as he clenched his fists. The brow furrowed deeply.
Anger was boiling in a corner of my chest.
‘So, these guys were behind it all?’
☆ ☆ ☆
After roughly searching all the necessary information, Reppenhardt used his search magic. He continued the spell for a long time and he got a slight headache.
“Uhm… … .”
Siris helped the groaning Reppenhardt and handed him a canteen.
“Are you okay, Mr. Leffenhardt?”
“Ah, thank you, Siris.”
I feel better after quenching my thirst. Reppenhardt looked around him. The other party members were waiting with curious eyes while he was casting magic.
Carol asked.
“What was written, Your Majesty?”
Leffenhardt briefly summarized and informed people of the information he had obtained. I left out stories about ancient elves and dwarves that I didn’t understand. As the story progressed, the group’s expressions became more and more distorted.
Russ said in bewilderment.
“Someone was controlling us without us knowing?”
Silan also responded that he was amazed.
“This is outrageous. “Why are they so arbitrarily calling themselves the guardians of humanity?”
Carol made a serious expression.
“I think I understand why the truth about this race is so unknown. “If there were such thorough people behind it, it wouldn’t be impossible.”
Everyone was feeling absurd and angry at the same time. On the other hand, people of different races responded with astonishment. Titima tilted her head to either side.
“They’re such funny guys, aren’t they? “In our view, humans are the scariest.”
“Yes. How scared were you that you did something like that? “They are strange people.”
Siris smiled bitterly as she looked at the two people.

“Seeing as even we think that way, they were definitely successful.”
At first glance, it was a remark that sounded like he was criticizing Tashid as a coward. Tashid angrily retorted.
“Looking at Gerard and Old Man Vanatel, do you say that humans are weak? “Your Majesty right now?”
“They are monsters that come out once in a while.”
“Even among us Orcs who reverence warriors, such monsters do not appear. “I guess it’s common among elves?”
“Oh, of course there isn’t, but that’s because it’s the current era. “Is there any way it couldn’t have happened in the past?”
“Then is there a law that says there wasn’t one among humans in the past? “Isn’t it the same?”
Repenhardt made a sad expression at the conversation between Siris and Tashid.
“Hey, you’re a monster right in front of me… … .”
Anyway, the truth of history that was revealed was shocking. How can people who have the power to control the world be so unknown?
“One thing is certain.”
Carol declared while clearing her mind.
“That the Silver Sage and the Principality of Antares can never coexist.”

Reppenhardt and his party left the room where the information crystal spheres were placed. It was to explore other places as well.
“… … Even so, is this the only way?”
Silan was embarrassed as he looked down the dark cliff(?). The space was so large that even when Siris illuminated her surroundings with the spirit of light, she could not see the other side. I don’t know why the road is cut off in this place.
Carol said while looking down.
“Shall we go down first?”
If you use common sense, the idea of blindly descending this smooth cliff with no visible bottom – which was actually a metal wall in a huge space – would sound truly absurd.
However, if there is a wizard in the party, it is a different story.
“Mass Levitation.”
After levitating the entire party in the air with a multiple levitation spell, Reppenhardt stepped into the air.
“Silan, don’t use holy spells this time. Let’s crash again.”
“I don’t use it, I don’t use it. “Who do you think is a fool?”
Cilan also threw himself in a scolding tone. The entire group began to descend downward, buried in darkness.
Russ slowly landed and looked around.
“Let’s say it comes down to magic, how does the Silver Sage use this place?”
“Isn’t everyone using the floating spell by default?”
Repenhardt answered as if it was no big deal. Russ gave me an incomprehensible look.
“Are you saying that all Silver Sages are wizards of the 5th circle or higher?”
That didn’t seem to be the case. Even in the case of Duke Iranad, he was a pure Auror user.
“Or maybe they’re all wearing boots with a floating spell on them. “You said you’ve been stealing other people’s relics for thousands of years?”
“Haha… … .”
At that time, Cilan joined the conversation between the two.
“It doesn’t really seem like that, does it?”
Cilan gestured overhead. In the passageway in the center of the cliff where the party entered, several discs were coming down the wall, accompanied by a strange roaring sound.
Weeeeing.
Silan was furious.
“Look! “That’s right, you can ride it!”
There is no need to get on an unknown object when you are going down safely. The group continued to use floating spells to descend downward.
☆ ☆ ☆
After going down for a while, I could see the bottom.
Siris, Reppenhardt, and Silan, who landed, were each spirits of light and used magic and sacred light spells to illuminate the surroundings. When the three people combined their efforts, a considerable amount of light came out. The entire area became brightly lit and the interior of the space was revealed.
Leppenhardt and the others, who were looking around, burst out in admiration.
“Hey… … .”
“wow!”
The floor was wide enough to surpass the size of a typical palace hall. Hundreds of altars were arranged in an orderly manner, and various strange objects were placed on them.
There were easily recognizable items such as armor, weapons, and backpacks, but there were many more whose purpose was unknown. It was full of pure white boxes, huge black stones that looked like tombstones, and other objects of various shapes.
Once I get down to the floor, I feel a strong energy that I couldn’t feel from above. Not only was she able to sense the wizards Siris and Reppenhardt, but she was even able to sense Karl, who was still inexperienced in magic.
Carol stammered and asked.
“Are these all magical tools by any chance, Your Majesty?”
