Chapter 437
“The Wise One mentioned in his records that the Heart of Life was once a supreme treasure, a relic that had belonged to none other than the Mother of All Gods,” Elder Roergue began, his voice reverent as he spoke of the divine artifact.
His eyes glinted as he continued, “I believed… perhaps it is the very object you honorable envoys sought when you crossed into our world.”
“Do not be alarmed; I do not claim to know the precise nature of your mission here,” he added. “But the prophecy, though veiled in obscurity, hints at the purpose of your arrival in this realm.”
The players listened to Elder Roergue’s story as they exchanged looks with equal parts surprise and intrigue reflecting upon their eyes.
And the more they felt that the ‘Heart of Life’ he mentioned was very similar to the characteristics and abilities of the last fragment of the Scepter that Lady Zero had told them about.
Could it be… this is the very object they’ve been searching for?
“So, where exactly is this Heart of Life located? Where do we go to obtain it?” asked Optimist, his voice tinged with urgency as he watched the Elder grow paler in his weakened state, yet visibly more animated with every word.
The other players also looked to Roergue expectantly.
“It’s in Seigües City,” Elder Roergue replied gravely.
