The celebration in the city of Gaal lasted for a full seven days, while Bexia spent a whole seven days in the old king's library, reading through all the books here, searching for a way to leave this world!
The collection of books in the city of Gaal was not extensive, but also not lacking. Frankly speaking, Bexia did not find any information related to leaving this world. The only thing that caught Bexia's attention was an ancient legendary tale.
It was said that a long time ago, the realm of Orosis had no divine realm. The gods descended upon the earth, and the world was engulfed in various battles between the gods, constantly fighting to gain faith.
And the Great Sage was the savior of that time. With mysterious and powerful magic, he enveloped the mortal realm, isolating the powerful gods from entering the world easily, thus calming the fires of war in this world.
Bexia speculated that perhaps it was the magic cast by this Great Sage that imprisoned this world, or perhaps he himself was a powerful ruling god who sealed this world with his own power!
Though this was just speculation, at the end of the legendary tale, the Great Sage actually died, perishing on the magical barrier he had set up. This made Bexia wonder - if he was truly so powerful, how could he have died?
A creator could create a vast world single-handedly, and a ruling god would naturally be even more capable. How could they die?
So Bexia came up with another conjecture: perhaps the Great Sage used something to seal off this world, maybe a ruling god artifact?
Closing the books, Bexia walked out of the library and happened to meet the old king who was resting here. After abdicating, he was quite leisurely, spending his time relaxed except for teaching Princess Talisa a few things every day.
"Are you ready to leave immediately?" the old king asked as he watched Bexia walk out of the library.
"I want to ask, where can I find detailed records about the Great Sage?" Bexia inquired. Though unsure, he had to find some clues, right?
"The Great Sage? It is said that in the center of the continent, there is a place called the Tower of Sages. It was an organization established by the disciples of the Great Sage, and there must be information about the Great Sage there!" the old king pondered and replied.
"Thank you for letting me know!" Bexia nodded and walked past the old king.
"Could you say goodbye to Talisa when you have time? You have been her first friend since she was young!" the old king requested.
"Sure! I will!" Bexia walked away without looking back.
The next morning, before saying goodbye to Talisa, Bexia found her while riding on a golden lion. Seeing the tired Talisa, Bexia stopped what she was doing, teasing her with a smile, "Seems like you've been toiling day and night!"
"It's all because Father King doesn't handle things. How can I manage those annoying matters?" Talisa complained and sat beside Bexia, laying her head on the table with a weary face.
"Being a king isn't easy!" Bexia chuckled.
"I don't want to be king at all. It's not fun!" Talisa pouted, feeling burdened unexpectedly as she was suddenly burdened with responsibilities.
"Hehe!" Bexia chuckled, remembering someone saying something similar a long time ago, but she hadn't found her until now!
"I heard you're leaving?" Talisa took off her golden gauntlet, tossed it on the table, and propped her head up, looking at Bexia.
"...Tomorrow, I think!" Bexia hesitated for a moment, actually planning to leave in the evening.
"Could you take me with you? I don't want to be this king anymore!" Talisa grabbed Bexia's arm, her eyes pleading as if clutching a lifeline like a drowning person.
"Why would you follow me?" Bexia glanced at her.
"To go on adventures together! It's my biggest dream to explore every corner of the continent!" Talisa's eyes sparkled with a peculiar light.
"I'm not going on an adventure; I have things to do!" Bexia replied.
"Take me with you, along with Tyees!" Talisa held Bexia's hand tightly.
"You're the queen of this country. Can you leave?"
"Well..." Talisa was speechless at Bexia's words. As a queen, she really couldn't leave, nor should she.
"So, learn to be a king in peace!" Bexia put down the wooden bow in her hand, using the tendons of the River Crocodile God as a string, crafting a longbow.
"This is for you, as a parting gift!" Bexia handed the longbow to Talisa.
"No, I don't want it! T_T I don't want to be any king!" Talisa was at a loss for words. It was indeed difficult for her to be the queen, but Bexia couldn't take her along either.
"I'll shave a few arrows for you. If you encounter something you can't fight, shoot them with arrows!" Bexia started and said, "Though not very strong, it's certainly enough, unlike the small fry like the Forest God!"
"Is it a magical bow?" Talisa's eyes lit up as she pulled the bowstring, and a black arrow appeared on top. "Swoosh!" It knocked down the wall of Bexia's courtyard...
