I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Saeldir fell back into his chair. He stared at the white sphere that gave off a soft glow.

Saeldir couldn't even bring himself to do anything to stop Laston. Or use powerful Magic to make him admit all the lies he might perpetrate.

In the end, Saeldir could only wait for things to unfold themselves. After all, he still needed more evidence.

The familiar feeling of Magic he encountered at Mount Calamity started to make sense.

That dark Magic power most likely came from Laston. What he didn't know was why it turned to become so dark.

Saeldir glanced at the door and then spread out his arms. A magic circle appeared at the door and sealed it from anyone who tried to enter.

Then Saeldir opened his right palm. A moment later above the palm appeared a strand of black hair.

It was the hair he took from the Dark Elf he killed back then. Before actually ending her life, Saeldir took the time to grab the Dark Elf's hair.

The hair floated in the air, then landed on the ground. Saeldir cast a spell and a magic circle appeared under the hair.

The Magic circle had a dark blue color and shine filled the room.

The Dark Elf's strand of hair was right in the center of the circle. Then Saeldir spread his arms out towards the magic circle.

He concentrated, then a projection image of Quenya writings appeared.

The Quenya language was a little different from the Quenya that he and all the Elves in the palace used on a daily basis.

Saeldir read the writing carefully once again. Yes, Saeldir had indeed done this several times since he had gotten the hair.

He only read the text and saw the same picture, but no matter how many times he read it, Saeldir still didn't understand the meaning of the words.

The Magic that Saeldir was currently using was magic that could bring out the last memory of a dead creature. By using their body part as a medium.

At least, at his current stage of power, Saeldir could get at least three days of memory before the Dark Elf died.

Most of them don't really matter. Even the faces of the traitors she met in the palace and the room she appeared in were not clearly visible.

Saeldir had already guessed that the traitor was that careful. He didn't even believe the Elf he had conspired with.

Subsequent memories appear fuzzy. But Saeldir knew that the traitor had sex with the female Dark Elf.

It was one of those unpleasant memories for Saeldir to see. So he skips through it.

There was one thing that really caught Saeldir's attention. About an inscription carved on a dark stone.

The stone seems to be made from obsidian. The dark stone reflected the moonlight. That means the rock is located outside.

Saeldir didn't recognize the area around that stone.

"(I can't understand what it means no matter how many times I read it.)"

Saeldir sighed heavily. He could only read a few parts of the writing and that made Saeldir even more frustrated.

Even so, he continued to do so. Saeldir hoped that he would be enlightened someday if he read it often enough.

"(The Great Calamity... The Devourer of Multiverse... The Descending of The Ender... Will come.)"

Saeldir sensed the danger from those words. All these sentences indicate that there is a danger that is lurking from afar and about to come.

The rest - a few he could read - described prophecies about the destruction of the Multiverse.

"(Multiverse...)"

Saeldir had known about the existence of the Multiverse for a long time.

It was indeed knowledge that was discovered for the first time by the first Archmage.

The world that Erend was in was also one of those Multiverses.

The secret to crossing into the Multiverse has also been obtained by the first Archmage.

But they only dared to attack Erend's world because it was the world that had the least risk.

The Devourer of Multiverse is something his teacher has mentioned before. In essence, it is catastrophic destruction on a very large scale.

Which ultimately threatens the Multiverse. Not just one world, but many worlds will be destroyed by it.

"(But, what does all that have to do with the betrayal in the Elf palace?)"

It is a big mystery that is very confusing.

Saeldir took a chair and sat in front of the projection. He stared at the projection with a furrowed brow. Trying to find an answer to one of the questions in his mind.

After several hours passed in the siege of a rainstorm, it was finally over.

Aurdis came out of tidying up her tent.

The leaves were still wet and drooping from the rain. The ground she stepped on was still wet and muddy, causing Aurdis' shoes to sink into the mud.

It made Aurdis flinch because she had never experienced it in the palace.

"(Ah, how annoying!)"

As a girl who loves cleanliness, Aurdis feels disgusted when she sees mud covering her feet.

But then she exhaled loudly to brace herself.

The journey is still long. This mud was completely incomparable to what she would face up ahead.

Finished tidying everything up, Aurdis got on the Star and raced the stallion again.

The roads are wet and muddy. Star's feet slipped on the slippery surface.

This made Aurdis feel worried. So she slowed Star's pace.

There is a mountain whose peak is missing. As if it had been grabbed by something enormous, the mountain peak was roughly chopped off making it look like a mess of teeth.

The Jagged Tooth. That is the name given to the mountain.

Aurdis did not know who gave the name. But she thought the name was quite appropriate.

Suddenly the sound of flapping wings was heard from above. Aurdis immediately waved her hand back and formed a white magic shield.

*TWANGG!*

A spear that was about to pierce her head was blown away by the magic shield.

Five Aarakocra floated above. Their bird eyes stared intently at Aurdis like a predator looking at its prey.
