After reaching the maximum level, my "soft rice system" finally arrived.

The Flashback Spell is an eighth-circle spiritual spell that allows one to resonate with the soul of the deceased and perceive fragments of their memories.

The length and completeness of the flashback fragments depend on the strength of the deceased's mental state and their obsession.

Because this spell is so difficult to learn that it is comparable to a common forbidden spell, it is also known as a quasi-forbidden spell.

Generally speaking, the Flashback Spell requires specifying conditions in advance and is a spell cast on a single target.

But someone like Charles doesn't choose a specific target, but rather perceives a broad area within a certain range...

If it were an ordinary legendary wizard, he would probably have fainted long ago from the impact of the massive number of mental fragments.

In severe cases, it is even possible that one's mental strength could be severely damaged and never fully healed.

But at this moment, Charles—

But he simply let the ocean of his mind rise and fall, silently accepting the information contained within those millions of points of light.

.......

After a long while, Charles slowly opened his eyes.

"did not expect......"

"After a thousand years, I was able to see the figure of a wizard again on the ruins of the White Tower."

"and......"

"He's actually a genuine legendary mage."

A weak voice, filled with confusion and disbelief, rang in Charles's ears without warning.

Charles was not surprised by the sound.

The reason I came here and discovered the ruins of this once pure white tower was because of the faint connection and influence from the stone statue of the girl in the Dreamland of the Western Continent.

Charles activated the memory flashback spell partly because he wanted to learn about the past of this wizard tower.

On the other hand, it is to use the resonance between spiritual power and soul to awaken this lingering soul in the ruins.

Ordinary ghosts will dissipate in three to five days.

Even for a legendary soul, it would be a miracle if it could exist in the world for more than ten years without the assistance of special tools.

This remnant soul has been weathered by at least several hundred years.

Although it is badly damaged and often falls into a deep sleep, it has not completely disappeared.

It's easy to imagine how deep their obsession was.

Charles turned around and looked at the faint, blurry figure beside him, which seemed as if it might disappear at any moment.

"Then, let's talk about it."

"Your past with the Tower of Pure White, the cause of the Calamity of No Light and the Great Cataclysm."

"besides--"

"The truth about that 'Twilight Witch'..."

.......

Aurora City.

The city, which was usually dim and could only be illuminated by candlelight and torches, now appeared bright and clear.

Pure white light shone from the top of the watchtower, spreading to every corner of the city.

In the streets and alleys, and even in every house, similar white light shone out, converging into a stream at the most dazzling beam.

Let the entire Aurora City be bathed in a sea of ​​light.

"It's been almost half a month already..."

"But now, looking back, the scene before me still feels like a dream, and I'm afraid it will vanish like a bubble in the next second, never to be grasped again..."

Francis, the governor of Aurora City, stood on the top floor of the Watchtower, looking down at the bright city below, his words still carrying a hint of doubt and disbelief.

He had initially been somewhat skeptical of Anna's words.

After all, how could a divine technique of that level, which could be called a miracle, be replicated with just a few ores?

but--

The facts before our eyes cannot be faked.

After Anna and Aize taught them the corresponding methods, the miraculous "Atomic Lamp" could actually be made by even an innocent child by copying it.

Within just half a month, the pure and stable light filled the entire Aurora City.

Work such as carving, scientific research, and restoration, which were previously difficult to carry out due to insufficient lighting conditions in Aurora City, has now begun.

With the protection of the Atomic Lamp, the survival rate of the exploration teams sent out by Aurora City was greatly guaranteed, with no casualties or missing persons in half a month.

Just two weeks ago, this was a number that no one would have dared to even imagine.

"yes......"

"Looking back now, it really is a bit unbelievable."

Behind Francis, a hoarse female voice slowly rang out.

She was a rather beautiful woman; although her skin was rough from excessive fighting and fatigue, it could not hide her charm.

However, the other party was clearly Francis's wife, yet Francis had never seen her face so clearly before.

.......

"Your Excellency the Consul—"

The hurried voice interrupted the consul and his wife's intimate conversation.

A soldier clad in gleaming silver armor ran up to the top of the Watchtower.

"The scouting teams that went out have sent back news that the Twilight Creatures near the city have begun to consciously gather about fifty miles outside Aurora City."

"According to the forecasts reported back, the evening tide may officially arrive within twelve hourglasses!"

The soldier's voice was filled with barely concealed tension.

Thanks to the widespread use of atomic lamps, the safety, depth, and accuracy of exploration by expedition teams today have all improved dramatically compared to the past.

However, precisely because of this—

For many, this was the first time in their lives they had ever witnessed the creatures of dusk and the full spectacle of the dusk tides.

Furthermore, they learned about the astonishing number of twilight creatures within the twilight tide.

"What was bound to happen has finally happened."

Francis stood up.

He looked down at the city below, which appeared vibrant and thriving under the bright light.

Just half a month ago, this city was completely desolate.

But at this moment, every resident of Aurora City had a gleam in their eyes.

"How are the preparations for the divine spell 'Marrow Burst,' bestowed by His Majesty Charles, going?"

"Thanks to the combined efforts of all the extraordinary individuals in the city, two full-power missiles have been completed."

Francis's wife seemed to have anticipated his question and responded quickly.

"Is it--"

Looking at the prosperous scene before him, Francis finally made a decision in his heart.

"Then let's abandon the seed project."

"Francis?"

“...Look at the residents of Aurora City, look at the smiles on their faces now.”

"This city has waited for two hundred years, and finally the dawn has broken, and hope has arrived."

Francis smiled slightly.

"Now, who among them would be willing to join the Seed Project?"

"To become a wanderer, homeless, and destitute?"

"I believe in Anna—"

"I believe in His Highness Charles—"

"And I also believe in that so-called arcane magic."

His gaze fell upon the outskirts of Aurora City.

There, a pure silver-white metal object was being pushed onto the city wall by a group of superhuman soldiers, who began to load and test it around various metal instruments.

The top of the silver-white metal object was engraved with two characters that Francis could not understand.

As far as he knew, another one, which was still lying in the warehouse, also had similar inscriptions.

According to Anna, the two words mean "little boy" and "fat man" respectively, and were added at His Majesty Charles's special request.

Francis did not understand the meaning of those two words.
