Chapter 830: Section 553: Oath (Three)

Clovis stood in front of the blackboard, looking at the dream-tree diagram she had just organized, and for the first time, the young High-Order Mage felt fatigue.

This was a huge tree diagram, which included the children that she and her sisters had seen in their dreams, and at the very bottom of the blackboard, was Nana Haus... Clovis’s descendant.

Recently, Clovis had been dreaming about her, where the daughter was always searching for relics from before the Great Destruction Era in a city named Oslo,

She didn’t know what exactly this child was searching for, only that the relic could activate the central engine room of something called Garinin... Garinin? Clovis did not know where that was, but she felt that whatever this child was risking her life to find, it must be the most beautiful thing for future humanity.

Clovis wanted to help that child, but her abilities were limited, and Oslo was said to be to the north of Copenhagen, a very dangerous Dark Zone, with Chaos, Spirits, ghosts, and even more Chaos, that city from before the Great Destruction Era had become a complete death zone.

Before Nana Haus’s era, Clovis had another confirmed descendant, named Tot Haus, who was said to have developed the potion that could verify an ancestor’s identity. This child had communicated with Clovis once; he was from a single-parent family, his father had died accidentally during an experiment when he was young, and his mother raised him, Clovis still remembered the stubbornness and resilience in this child’s eyes.

Above Clovis on the diagram was Lillim’s line of descent, she had a child named Mil Haus, whom both Malin and she had met, and was from the same era as Tot Haus. Clovis had asked Nana about him, and she said that Mil Haus was a Spiritual Energy master, even stronger than her, he married Matilda’s descendant named Jane Haus, and their children had always been the lords of Carterburg, Haus Group was the largest private group in all of Europe, and Carterburg Free Port continued to serve as the main seaway connecting the Eastern and Western human worlds until Nana’s era, even with the appearance of airships, Carterburg’s position remained stable.

Jane Haus, supposedly Matilda’s last child, as so far, Matilda hadn’t dreamed about any descendants from after that era.

Although regrettable, Matilda was not saddened, for her lineage to continue for so long compared to other contemporaneous Paladin nobilities that ended due to various accidents, it was indeed a very fortunate future.

Above Matilda was Karte Rewo Gaiate.

Rewo’s descendants, according to what Rewo said, she had seen at least three descendants. Karte was a child from sixteen hundred years later, from the same generation as Mil, and Rewo’s descendants seemed to have inherited the ancestral potion workshop and expanded them greatly.

The second child was Gold Rewo Gaiate, a child from a thousand years later, who only appeared once in Gaiate’s dreams, as an assassin. This child seemed to have inherited quite a bit from Malin, and it was said that in that era, some Transcendents unhappy with the Western human world’s noble regressive practices gathered together, founded an extensive underground network based on the Creed of Assassin’s Guild from an ancient book, Assassin’s Creed, and were evenly matched against the noble’s Temple Knights’ organization.

When Clovis and others heard this story, they had a helpless feeling of not knowing how to explain it—a thousand years later, people certainly wouldn’t know that what they considered a legacy from a historical book a thousand years old was merely a novel written by their forgotten forebears.

At first, Rewo disliked this child, as his actions were nothing like a Domestic Fairy, but after learning about the nobles’ actions, Rewo still shared all her knowledge of potion lore with him, hoping her child and his companions could do more for the unfortunate people of that era.

As for Rewo’s third child, from two thousand years later, that was a child in the Eastern human world, named Mamar Rewo Gaiate.

Rewo said the era this child lived in, humanity had already begun a great revival, reconciliation, joining hands, and was striving to reclaim the Dark Zone and trying to break free from the constraints of gravity once again.

What a great era indeed.

Clovis almost cried the first time she heard about this era from Rewo—her foster father always said that humanity must restore its former glory, despite now suffering from cerebral insufficiency and being delirious from encephalopathy, and despite needing treatment after occasionally regaining clarity from World Tree potions just a few times a day, even so, he still remembered this aspiration.

This era likely wouldn’t see that day come, but the day would eventually arrive, and that was enough, surely her father would be very happy if he came to.

Looking above Rewo, envy had yet to dream about her own child, and above her, a name remembered in Nova’s dreams— Winston Gaiate.

From two thousand years later, a very ordinary child from a very typical family, who was completely stunned when he met Nova.

In his words, he never knew his ancestors were descendants of the most famous queen of the Farole Kingdom.

He and Mamar were from the same era, but unlike Mamar, who lived as the young heir of Rewo Pharmaceuticals in the Northern Kingdom, this young man made his living by writing novels, apparently a very famous long-running detective novel author.

Nova was initially very saddened to learn that her descendants had lost the crown, but when she heard that the royal family of the Eastern Kingdom would one day be entirely hanged, she immediately felt relieved—see, life is such a strange thing, you feel the whole world is against you when you are alone, but once you have someone to compare with, you discover that there are others who live even more miserably, and thus, the joys and sorrows of life turn upside down.

Thinking of this, Clovis looked up at the record at the very top.

Maya, her sister had three confirmed descendants, one of whom was Wyn Gaiate, from the same era as Mil. His death was confirmed multiple times, and Maya grieved over him for a long time—because she only saw Wyn Gaiate once when he was young, and that was before confirming he would die.

After that, she most frequently saw Deverill Gaiate, this child learned a lot from her. According to later generations, Deverill Gaiate was the most famous Divine Master in the history of The Great Forest Land, as he dedicated his life to striving for the poor on the continent and in his later years, he even facilitated a reconciliation between the Assassin Alliance and the Temple Knights.

The future is truly like a haze, former opponents eventually came together, holding up the banner of Northernism, the Western Human World achieved a grand unification.

Thinking of this, Clovis looked at the last name.

Mars Gaiate.

One of Deverill’s later descendants, living in the same era as Winston, residing in the Eastern Human World. Maya had seen him several times in her dreams, and it is said that he met with Malin many times. This young child has an immensely powerful gift of Spiritual Energy... perhaps influenced by Malin.

According to Maya, this child was a very silent young man, his father’s death put great pressure on him, and facing life and death alone made him forget how to smile.

A truly pitiable child, hoping he can live a happier life.

After reading all this, Clovis looked at the pinnacle of it all, her name and Malin’s name side by side.

Why has Malin disappeared in subsequent history?

This was what Clovis was most puzzled about recently. She asked Nanachi, and the child said she had never even heard the name ’Malin’, as if something prevented her from hearing it, even though these children were all searching for this name, seeking for what truly apexes their lineage.

Malin, my love, what made you disappear into the river of history.

Clovis pondered this while her hand gently caressed her bulging belly, inside her, a new life was gestating, it might be the common ancestor of Nanachi and Tot—as these two children say, the legendary Mage Clovis only had one child.

How cruel is Fate, why does it have to take her husband, why must it make everything disappear.

Clovis did not want all this to happen, she was always searching for a solution to solve all, although the chance of success seemed exceedingly slim, but Clovis and her sisters would not fear.

They must find a way to solve everything, their purpose is clear, their thoughts are pure, to not let Malin disappear from their lives, theirs is such a humble request.

Clovis looked at the large blackboard and finally turned to leave her own room.

This is Clovis’s Mage Tower, located in the port district of Carterburg, her father recently had been receiving treatment at the Benevolent Hospital, so only Clovis was in the Mage Tower alone.

Let this blackboard stay here, Clovis thought as she closed the door.

Her father’s brain damage caused him to lose many memories, and perhaps he might never be able to walk out of the hospice of Benevolent Church... Perhaps one day, descendants will come to this Mage Tower, perhaps one day, they will see this blackboard, they might be unable to confirm the apex of these seven family branches, they might even fail to see the names on it.

But... May the Lord have mercy.

Clovis prayed in her heart, hoping that the all-powerful Lord of Justice could hear her plea.
