Do-cheol was so serious that Yu-ri was a little surprised at first.

But he soon regained his composure and answered in a dull voice.

“I know.”

Ancient East.

That was common sense known to everyone in the world.

A very long time ago, called ancient times.

A continent that can be reached by taking a boat east for a dozen years from the continent of Lymont.

It was said that at the time, it was a mysterious land inhabited by people with a culture completely different from that of the Lymont Continent.

And it was now widely known that the people who escaped when the continent collapsed were the people of the ancient East.

“Is there anyone who doesn’t know the story of how the ancient land of the East collapsed and sank into the sea?”

Minsu laughed at Yuri’s story.

“Do you really think we held meetings for nearly ten days in the middle of our busy schedule just to tell such a trivial story?”

“then?”

Do-cheol continued speaking at Yu-ri’s question.

“From the beginning, the only continent that existed in this world was this land where we live. It is not true that if you sail east for more than ten years, you will find the Eastern Continent, and that this continent has now sunk and disappeared forever.”

“uh?”

Confusion arose in Yuri’s eyes.

It was natural to react like that since common sense, which had been believed to be true all my life, was denied.

“Then… what about the Ancient East? That was all made up? What about magic? That also originated in the Ancient East? That was also a lie?”

Yuri’s head turned quickly.

‘Can that be possible?’

If the stories of the ancient East were all false, then the history of the Redner family, which was said to have originated from the sages of the ancient East, would be entirely false.

And that’s not all.

“Does that make sense? It’s not just the magic. The writing, clothing, architecture, language, and customs that are said to have originated in the ancient East… Even the names you use are all from the ancient East? All of this is false?”

The culture of the ancient East had long been ingrained in the continent of Lymont.

Actual data in accordance with this were being discovered frequently throughout the continent.

It was nonsense that all of that was a lie.

No, even if that makes sense, who would spread such a lie into the world and for what reason?

When Yuri looked slightly excited, Seojun slightly waved his hand.

“Calm down, when did we say that the land of the ancient East did not exist, and that the things handed down from the ancient East were false?”

“… … ?”

“It is true that they came from the land of the East. And it is also true that many cultures passed down from them have permeated this land.”

Yuri made a face that said she couldn’t understand at all.

“The land of the East did not exist from the beginning, but is it true that I came from the land of the East?”

“yes.”

“How is that any different from a child being born into the world alone without a mother or father?”

“Heh heh, sometimes things that don’t make sense actually make sense. Like, Mom and Dad being in different worlds.”

“…what?”

Do-cheol gave a clear answer while looking at Yu-ri, who was blinking as if she still didn’t quite understand.

“The country called the Ancient East… no, the beings who claim to have come from the ancient East were dimensional refugees. They were those who abandoned their own country called the East and fled from the dimension that was on the verge of destruction to come to our world.”

“… … .”

Yuri was speechless.

In the midst of a strange silence.

His eyebrows furrowed as he carefully analyzed the story he had heard.

“… Are you kidding?”

They are people who escaped from a world that was on the verge of destruction and came from another world, across dimensions.

Who would believe this upon hearing it?

Gayeon chuckled at Yuri’s question.

“Do you think we’re just a bunch of old men who joke around with you while you’re even selling us expensive liquor?”

“huh.”

“… Do you want to lose what you’re drinking?”

As Gayeon glared, Yuri took a sip of her drink and fell into deep thought for a moment.

‘So… is this all true?’

It may sound absurd, but we can only explain it if we assume that what they say is true.

All cultures that originate from the ancient East.

And ancient Eastern materials and relics that still exist today.

To explain that all of this is not fiction, the Masters’ words must be true.

That’s why Yuri changed her mind.

‘I have to throw away what I have seen so far. What I believed to be common sense.’

Before you hear the truth of the ancient East, haven’t you already seen it?

A flying palace made from dragon remains, complete with dragon breath and magic.

All of these were things that could never be explained with one’s own common sense.

So, in order to no longer be surprised and to think flexibly, we had to break out of the framework of contemporary common sense.

As soon as she decided that, Yuri’s eyes became much more profound.

He looked at the masters and asked.

“They, I think there was a term for the people of the East?”

The masters flinched slightly as they looked at Yuri, whose atmosphere had suddenly changed.

And soon Do-cheol nodded.

“Of course there were. At that time, people of the world called them… the famous people.”

“The Ming tribe?”

At Yuri’s small question, Do-cheol cleared his throat and continued speaking.

“At that time, the number of people who crossed dimensions reached tens of thousands.”

“There were so many?”

“That’s a small number. Considering all the people in one country.”

“Are you saying that all those tens of thousands of people belonged to one country?”

“To be more precise, it was a nation formed by people who survived the destruction of a dimension. In other words, there were only tens of thousands of survivors in each dimension.”

“So many died. So what does that have to do with them being called the Noble Tribe?”

“There were three families that led those tens of thousands of people. The people of that country called them the Ming Clan, the great family of light. And the word Ming Clan has come to mean a prestigious family in modern times.”

“Huh?”

“Ahem, anyway! Since that noble family represented the refugees from different dimensions, the people of the world began to call them the noble family.”

“A prestigious family and a noble clan… how interesting.”

The truth of the ancient East.

No, Yuri’s eyes sparkled as she learned the truth hidden in the world.

“What kind of place were those three?”

“Heukilmyeongga, Geumwolmyeongga, Euncheonmyeongga. These are the names of the three great families that led the nobility at that time.”

The corners of Yuri’s mouth twitched slightly when she heard this.

‘Silver sky, golden moon, and black sun… what a coincidence.’

Geumwolmyeongga and Heukilmyeongga, excluding Euncheonmyeongga.

Aren’t the words that symbolize those two all too familiar?

But Yuri didn’t show it and just focused on the story.

If you keep listening to the story, you will definitely reach the end without having to rush it.

Do you know what Yuri is thinking?

Do-cheol continued speaking quickly.

“The aristocratic people who appeared about 1,300 years ago and the indigenous people of that time… that is, our ancestors, did not get along very well.”

“That would be understandable. Who would like an uninvited guest who suddenly appeared? Furthermore, they couldn’t have been weak, having survived in a world that was about to be destroyed. How could the existing countries welcome such people taking over a region and establishing a country?”

Seojun nodded at Yuri’s words, which seemed to clearly show the situation at that time.

“You saw it exactly. That’s why all the countries and powers at the time had no choice but to reject the Ming Clan. However, the Ming Clan, who had lost their homeland, had no choice but to settle in our world. So what do you think they did?”

To Seojun’s question, which seemed to suggest that she could even know this, Yuri answered without hesitation.

“What’s the big deal? If you don’t want to remain an uninvited guest in a house where you’re not going to live for a day or two, but for the rest of your life, you have no choice but to bring this and that to the owner and try to win his favor.”

“Huh? For example?”

“If the establishment of a country is offensive to the master’s eyes, then the country will not be established. If the master fears the power of the guest, then he will share the power.”

“You’re quite intelligent, darling.”

What Yuri said was true.

In order to escape the rejection of the original natives, the Ming family dispersed all of their clans throughout the continent.

It means that we will not form a country… no, not even a small group.

And so, the famous clans spread throughout the continent and taught the world how to use mana, which became the basis of modern magic.

They shared with the world the foundation of the power they knew.

“The famous people and their descendants who spread throughout the world in this way are the ones who are called the sages of the ancient East today.”

Yuri nodded at the additional explanation of such combustibility.

“Wow… You really worked hard.”

As Yuri put it, the nobles had to live hard, abandoning their pride, in order to survive in the new world and settle down there.

Those with power put aside their pride and give up their power?

It was not something that Yuri could easily follow.

‘Is this a choice that only those who have experienced destruction once can make?’

They may have been able to throw away their pride without any hesitation because they knew the value of a place to settle down.

While Yuri was guessing the feelings of the nobles at the time, the masters took turns telling their stories.

“The emergence of the nobility and all they did advanced the civilization of this world by several levels.”

“According to literature, that time was called the golden age of civilization.”

“The problem is that the golden age brought trouble.”

“People who are uncomfortable with the rapid development of the world have appeared.”

A small mutter came out of Yuri upon hearing this.

“… dragon.”

“That’s right. They are.”

Do-cheol nodded.

For a long time, dragons were considered to be gods of this world to humans and similar races.

The strongest life form that no one dares to oppose.

However, with the emergence of the Ming Clan, the dragons that were called gods of this world began to look completely different to those who gained power.

Magic that was once invincible and nothing short of miraculous.

The power that was once enjoyed only by a select few who asked permission from the dragons was overshadowed by the magical arts spread by the nobility into the world.

Because of this, the status of dragons, who reigned as gods of this world, gradually declined, and the fear of them began to fade.

A fear that can be overcome is no longer a fear.

The dragons, who were well aware of this fact, tried to return the world to the state it was before the appearance of the nobility.

Because of that, 1,100 years ago.

The Hundred Years’ War, which everyone remembers as a myth, broke out.

“Not only humans, but also dwarves, elves, and giants… all of humanity gathered their will and strength to continue the fight against the dragons.”

There were less than 100 dragons.

But, they were strong, too strong.

Throughout the war, the dragons clearly demonstrated why they were called the gods of this world.

“Even so, the reason humanity was able to endure was because of the Ming Clan and the power they passed down.”

The wondrous art of magic that has evolved human existence to several levels.

And after many years, the noble clan was united as one.

All of this made possible the war against the dragons that had been thought impossible.

But more than anything, the three absolute beings who led the Ming clan were the ones who gave humanity the greatest strength.

“At the forefront of the noble families who took part in that mythical war were the three kings, the heads of noble families.”

The Heavenly King of Euncheonmyeongga.

The king of the Black Knights.

The King of the Moon of the Golden Moon Family.

Absolute beings that even dragons could not guarantee victory.

Thanks to them, a war that could have ended in a few years could last a whole hundred years.

“Then, towards the end of the war… he appeared.”

“No! It was because he appeared that the war was able to end!”

“The one who reached the end of the myth.”

“King of the Moon, Lee Han.”

Every word the masters spoke in turn was etched vividly in Yuri’s mind.
