The Moon Thief

Heinald flew with them to the very top of the tower. A group of Kawtils greeted them on the top floor of the tower. The energy waves emanating from them were equal to those of a Level 1 Ainsar.

After descending many stairs, they came to a large round door. There was some kind of tree shaped carving on this round door.

As Towsak waved his hand, yellow lights began to emanate from the tree shaped carving, and the great door opened.

When the door opened, a short corridor began to appear. There were about twenty doors along this corridor. At the end of the corridor, the road curved to the left.

Heinald watched as they walked slowly down the corridor. This tower was completely covered in a light gray stone, the inside looked just like the outside. However, it was clear that these stones were quite solid.

It had a much simpler design and structure than most of the buildings he had visited before. There was no decoration or decoration on the walls or corridors.

When they reached the end of the corridor, they followed the road to the left and emerged into another corridor. At the end of this corridor were stairs leading down.

Heinald had passed many doors, but he had no idea what areas they led to, but he was sure that they did not lead to personal rooms.

When they reached the end of the corridor and went down one floor, they encountered a large door again. This great door was exactly the same as what they had first seen and opened in a similar way. However, this time they did not appear in a corridor, but in a large area. In the middle of this large area was a long and graceful door. To the right and left of the gate were narrow roads leading to two different places.

Four Kawtils were waiting outside the door. When they saw Heinald and the others coming, they dropped to their knees and greeted them.

"Open the door!" Towsak ordered.

When the door opened, Heinald saw a crescent-shaped table in the middle and three Kawtils sitting around it. Sitting in the very center, Kawtil had the energy waves of a peak-phase Level 2 Ainsar. Those next to him had the energy waves of early-phase Level 2 Ainsar.

They stood up when they saw Heinald.

"We're the first to see a human after thousands of years, I think we can be considered quite lucky. Welcome, mate! I'm Avrn." The Kawtif, sitting in the middle, greeted him.

"Thank you for your kind invitation. It's an honor to meet you." Heinald gave a nod. As far as he could see, they all looked alike, male or female. The male ones were bald, while the female ones had long hair. Regardless of male or female, they seemed to have very strong bodies.

"You look injured." Avrn said.

"An insignificant wound, if I rest it will suffice. Besides, it's not a problem for me at the moment."

Heinald's wound was already starting to crust over, thanks to his rapid regeneration rate. However, the long cut in his robe greatly diminished the nobility of his appearance.

"Please rest until tomorrow. In the meantime, I will send healers to heal your wound completely. Tomorrow morning we will meet again and get to know each other better."

At Avnr's orders, one of the great and spacious rooms on the lowest floor of the tower was prepared for him, and healers were sent to care for his wound.

The coming healers rubbed a mushroom Heinald had never heard of before on his wound. With an astonishing healing rate, this mushroom paste had almost completely covered his wound within hours.

The only problem was that this mushroom smelled very bad.

Various craftsmen from the tower came and repaired the damage to his robe. Although Heinald had another dimensional treasure he had obtained from Hamra, he did not want to give up this robe. This robe was inherited from his grandfather and therefore had a special place in his heart. Moreover, this robe was quite sturdy, otherwise he would have been injured much more seriously.

The next day, Heinald was summoned to the meeting room. When he got there, he saw five council members waiting for him there.

He had already met three of these five members.

After meeting the two council members, Dabk and Kusep, they began to talk among themselves about serious matters.

"The ancient Ainsars and their remains... Destroyed?"

Heinald told them some facts about Ancient Ainsar and the lost millennium. After all, the Ainsars who remained on this plane were those of ancient times.

"Have you ever heard of an organization called Al-Yuen?" Heinald asked.

"No..."

The council members thought for a while, then shook their heads.

Heinald said, "I think this organization went after the remains of the Ancient Ainsars and destroyed them. I'm not sure, but I learned a few things about this subject during one of my travels."

"Why would they do such a thing?" Towsak asked.

"I have no idea." Heinald replied.

"How did you get here?" Avrn asked.

Heinald hesitated for a while about answering this question. Realizing this, Avrn immediately apologized for his rudeness and haste, and began to tell him about this realm.

According to what he tells, the Ainsars who came to this plane in ancient times seized various underground resources and plants on this plane. All of them ruled in various parts of the plane, but there was no war between them. One day, for an unknown reason, they all left this plane and left some legacy behind.

"You see that painting?" Avnr pointed to the painting behind it, "This painting belongs to the Great Ainsar Grildar, who left us his legacy."

Heinald began to observe the painting in the back. A young looking man with long black hair and eyebrows is pictured staring sternly.

"What do you know about him?" Heinald asked.

"We don't know much about him from our ancestors. We only know that he is a Level 4 Ainsar and is a master of various formations. Moreover, even from his time it is known that he had an intense research passion for ancient times." Avnr replied.

"The Ainsar's curiosity and quest for ancient times will never cease. It doesn't matter what age they live in..." Heinald smiled faintly.

"What do you think happened in the lost millennium you speak of?" Towsak asked.

"I cannot know for certain. However, it seems to me that much longer than the lost millennium, some sort of disagreement arose among the Ancient Ainsars. Afterwards, a great war ensued, including the lost millennium." Heinald replied.
