Chapter 319: Conversation With Claude
That was the voice he recognized, the voice of the unknown man who had appeared in his visions on several occasions in the past. It had been there when he comprehended the symbol inside the golden box of the secret sword chamber in the Forgeheart Kingdom and again when he completed the forging of the unnamed divine sword.
This unknown man felt inexplicably close to him, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say Aldrian considered that man like blood family.
Aldrian was immersed in a state of comprehension as he pondered the thread of origin. That voice kept repeating itself, like some kind of recording playing inside his mind. His thoughts spun with the emotions he experienced when he saw the visions of himself and Sylphia, all while hearing the voice over and over again. At one point, he felt as if he could leap into one of the visions and enter that world, but he held himself back.
After more than half an hour, he finally opened his eyes. Something profound lay within Aldrian’s gaze, as if he had witnessed countless lives, each shaped by different circumstances. His eyes seemed to radiate wisdom.
The first thing he saw after opening his eyes was Sylphia, gazing at him with curiosity. He smiled at her, leaned in to kiss her forehead, and held her more tightly. His love for her seemed to grow even stronger after this comprehension session. Although he had yet to fully grasp the entire extent of the thread of Origin, he chose not to rush it. He could sense that this thread was far more profound than simply witnessing the past lives of any beings or their connections to him.
"Done with your comprehension?" she asked.
"Yes," he replied.
"You’re truly a genius like no other. Even in this situation, you can enter a state of comprehension," Sylphia said, her tone teasing. "Many would struggle to achieve that without the perfect environment to support them, yet here you are—naked with your woman after having sex. What kind of comprehension did you gain this time? A new position?"
Aldrian suddenly adopted a mischievous expression and leaned in close, his lips brushing against her ear.
