The Legendary Mage (Alavin) novel Chapter 237

"What have you understood?"

"Years ago, I traversed the Ancient Seas to reach these wild lands, all in the quest to find a lost ancient kingdom."

"I'm not interested in the secrets of your old realm now."

"Hear me out, for it is the very cause of your parents' demise."

"What secrets did this ancient dynasty hold?"

"The secret of eternal life!"

"What?!" Alavin was visibly shaken.

"The vanished kingdom, the lost scrolls... By chance, I've unraveled the dusty secrets! Ancient Kings, the secret of eternal life!"

"Is it merely legend, or is it real?"

"I've located this place and uncovered its whereabouts, but then I chanced upon the Cobalt Strike Commander. He, too, was investigating it back then, but without the knowledge I had. He attacked me, and together with the Cobalt Strike Elders, they suppressed me. They dared not kill me because, in the end, they knew my identity and that my soul was bound to the Warrior Tribe of the East’s Stone of Life and Death. Should I die, my kin would find Cobalt Strike’s location."

"Is this Commander still in charge?"

"The former Commander, he later died of grievous injuries, and Cobalt Strike has since kept this secret hidden."

Grima looked at Alavin curiously, wondering why he had suddenly fallen silent, and just sitting there lost in thought.

The Chained Spirit spoke, "I thought Cobalt Strike would no longer meddle with the Ancient Kings' secrets, but lo and behold, the Grand Elder has started to covet them and even found the 'key' to unlock the dynasty, the Immortal Edge!"

"Do you mean... the ancient sword my father was escorting is the Immortal Edge?"

"It cannot be mistaken!"
