The Ancients World

Chapter 482 Learning Of Kris Martim



~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Private Room in Palace, Capital City Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 5:02 PM)~~~

"I don't know where to begin regarding the man you seek... Kris Martim is a very old magician and someone that doesn't like to be contacted... The Avalon Kingdom hasn't been around for very long, but when this place was created by the system. Kris Martim already existed in these lands."

I have no plans to interrupt her at any point in her storytelling, but she's taking breaks to sip some tea. I don't mind... I'm not in a rush now that we're in a private area. 

"He had the power to resist being moved by the system like all the things in the lands that the Avalon Kingdom exists today. I don't know much about the process, but essentially, the creatures that were once in my Kingdom's land were moved somewhere else."

Everything except for the man known as Kris Martim... It makes me question whether or not this man is a God... More or less anyway... Only people of that power can resist the system... 

"Kris Martim built the foundations of Magic... That's all we know about the man. He's been around a lot longer than most Empires. There are 2 possibilities to what he is. You might find more, but these are what we've come up with."

She stands up and makes her way over to a drawer on the other side of the room, and pulls out some papers. Lay them on the table for me to see. I pick one up, and it's a description of what the man looks like. The other paper is about possible locations.

"Many surmise he's a God that's pretending to be a mortal. Why he's doing this, I couldn't possibly know. The second and last possibility is he's a man that's supported by the power of a God. These are the only things that we came to with what we know."

As she said earlier, there may be other things that could explain Kris Martim, but these ones are the most likely. 

"The list of possible locations isn't that old, but he's probably always on the move. He doesn't like to be bothered, and we've left him alone. His power isn't something that we have any business messing with... And I suggest you do the same... I know you're powerful, Slayer Zern... But this guy is on another level..."

I'm not going to ignore her warning... When a person gets the title of Laying the Foundations of all Magic, it means that you're powerful. But from the sounds of it, he doesn't sound like a violent person. Just someone who likes his privacy. 

"Thanks for all your help, Queen Veldrindor. I can't do anything at the moment to repay you, but thanks to you. I've gotten an update."

My tier-up quest has marked all the possible locations to find Kris Martim, and I'll have to search each to find the man. Hopefully, he's actually at one of them. It's seven locations, and they're all far apart.

"Before you leave, there is something that you should know."

Instead of heading straight for the window to leave via flying, I stop so she can tell me what she needs to tell me.

<br/>"Kris Martim isn't a fan of people that could cause him unnecessary problems. Given who you are, I felt that you should know that."

The Queen of Avalon has been very helpful, and to my surprise, I get a notification that he's getting rewarded by The Almighty Father. Turns out she did this, not expecting anything in return... This is the second time this has happened out of all the people that I've talked to and asked for help.

"I'll be sure to remember that... You've been a great help, Queen Veldrindor. The Kingdom of Avalon is under the guidance of someone who can bring it to a bright and prosperous future."

She closes her eyes and nods her head as I make my way for the window. I jump out, and my wings come out of my back. In a burst of speed, I make it above the clouds and take a closer look at the map.

It's funny cause two of the locations aren't even near The Kingdom of Avalon. One of them is next to The Fairy Kingdom, and another is close to The Kingdom of Zenith. I doubt these are the most likely locations, so I'll check the 5 still in The Kingdom of Avalon.

"I'm gonna be busy... So I should start with the closest possible location... I find it strange that Kris Martim has been to 2 places that I've been... Maybe he's expecting me and has been keeping tabs on me..."

That's the only way I can explain why he's been to places so far away from The Avalon Kingdom. It makes sense since one of my tier-up quests involves him.

~~~(Time: 6:22 PM)~~~

I keep getting messages from Hailey, and I haven't looked at any of them. She needs to learn that I'm not interested in anything to do with her or to talk with her, not after what she's done. I had to silence the notifications I get specifically from her.

Forgiving her isn't in the cards... And I don't know if it ever will be... If I could, I'd avoid her for the rest of my life, but since she's Cera's sister, I can't do anything about it. 

Enough of this crap, I'm going to bed, and I'm not bothering with her, but before I do, I should check in with Cera. 

[I wanted to let you know that I'm doing good, but I'd be doing better if you could tell Hailey to stop messaging me. It's everyone couple of minutes, and it's making the situation worse with her.]

I send the message, and I plop down on the bed and look at the ceiling. It'll be nice to get some sleep after all the stress I've been through today. My eyes actually feel heavy for the first time in a while.

Before I can get too comfortable, a message from Cera comes through.

[She's persistent, and I know that you don't want anything to do with her right now. But you'll have to talk with her eventually. It's unavoidable. Just know that I'll be on your side.]

It's the answer that I expected to get from Cera... The one I wanted to hear was complete and total agreement, but the one I got was the one I needed to hear.

~~~(Time: 7: 34 PM)~~~

Not all bad things have happened today... Personally... I've got my tier-up item repaired, and I'm now tier-3 and completely caught up on all my tier-up quests. Meaning that I can do what I want instead of what I have to.

"I wish she would answer me..."

I know that sending a bunch of messages isn't the way to do this, but I have no other choices here. I want to make sure she knows how much I wish I could fix this and how sorry I am.

Cera messaged me a while ago, telling me not to bother Sally for a while, and I've stopped since getting that message from him. When Sally reads my messages, she'll get back into contact with me... I hope... It's all I can really do at this point.

"I really fucked this one up... The family fuck up at it again... What's wrong with me... I think that I'm doing better, and then I pull this crap... I've changed since Earth... But not enough... Cera isn't blameless in this... But he knows that..."

A/N: Below this line, I'll be keeping Cera's player information. That way, I won't have to place it into the story above anymore. It takes about 180 words up.
