Chapter 1071: Maybe It’s True

Livishid was a floating city conjured from the imagination of the ancient god Angelweird, the Dragon of Imagination. From every perspective, it could be called a miracle—even a divine miracle.

It was vaster and more primeval than the Giant’s Court, incorporating alien characteristics. Every stone pillar was nearly a hundred meters high, resembling seats for giant dragons to rest. It was a city that left an unforgettable impression on anyone who merely heard of it.

Thus, although Audrey had never actually seen the City of Miracles, Livishid, the scene she now witnessed immediately sparked certain associations. Of course, knowing in advance that Groselle’s Travels originated from the Dragon of Imagination, Angelweird, was also one of the main reasons she made that connection.

As for Klein, because he had once divined the origins of Groselle’s Travels and seen the real City of Miracles and Floating City in a dream, he was now absolutely certain that the island-sized city in the Deep Sea Pit was identical to Livishid—except it lacked the giant dragons that used to fly in from all directions to perch there.

Was this real, or a replica? Or was it the convergence of some subconscious impressions from special beings within the book’s world? Slightly surprised, Klein quickly analyzed the situation.

Based on the results of his divination and the content revealed in the dreams of the Giant Guardian Groselle and the Elf Singer Shatas, he could determine without any doubt: when that travelogue was created, the City of Miracles, Livishid, still existed; when it spread to the vicinity of the Giant’s Court, Livishid still existed; when Groselle began his adventures and Shatas was sucked into the book’s world, Livishid still existed—if the City of Miracles, Livishid, had disappeared, the various supernatural races would not have remained indifferent.

In other words, these facts definitively indicated that the city in the Deep Sea Pit could hardly be Livishid.

But soon, Klein remembered a sentence.

It was an answer that Arodes, the Magic Mirror, had once given: «…What is clear is that it first appeared among the dragon race, after the City of Miracles, Livishid, disappeared.»

That was interesting… On what basis did the Magic Mirror confirm the earliest appearance date of Groselle’s Travels and believe it was after Livishid’s disappearance? It couldn’t even see clearly matters related to Zaratul, so how could it spy out the origin of an ancient god’s artifact? I originally used that conclusion as a basis for speculation and reasoning, but after my own divination, I completely overturned it and never thought about it again… Klein stared at the city with its towering stone columns and magnificent palaces, thoughts flashing through his mind.

Suddenly, he seized an inspiration: The previous owner of the travelogue, «Iceberg Lieutenant» Edwina, was a member of the Church of Knowledge and believed in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.

The God of Knowledge and Wisdom was almost certainly one of the Angel Kings who once served the Ancient Sun God—the Cherub.

And from the religious texts of the Third Epoch and the historical figures of the Second Epoch, it could be reasonably suspected that this Cherub might very well be the Dragon of Wisdom, Herabergen!

He was a subordinate god of the Dragon of Imagination, Angelweird, and a high-ranking member of the dragon race!

Could it be… that the information that Groselle’s Travels appeared after Livishid’s disappearance was transmitted by the God of Knowledge and Wisdom in some way, making the Magic Mirror believe it? If He truly was that Dragon of Wisdom, it meant He was a dragon concerned and, at that time, already very high in station, knowing far more than Groselle and Shatas… But how then to explain the vision I saw when I divined above the Gray Fog? Even now, when I recall it, my head still aches; what I saw was definitely the true form of the Dragon of Imagination, that ancient god… Klein was suddenly enlightened as he connected the dots, yet simultaneously thrown into deep confusion.

He kept tossing his divination coin and quickly came up with some conjectures: Since the City of Miracles, Livishid, was imagined into existence, couldn’t a new one be imagined after it disappeared?

Was the original Livishid stuffed into this book by the Dragon King Angelweird, and what existed afterward was a new imagining by Him?

Did this fool all the dragons except for the one famous for its wisdom?

If this was true, then there were actually two Cities of Miracles called Livishid, and this one was the oldest, most ancient…

But then the question came: why didn’t the Dragon of Wisdom personally enter this book world? Even if He was not a Spectator, He, marked by «Omniscience is Omnipotence,» should have sufficient ability and level to explore here…

Perhaps He had already come, but without disturbing any living being in the book world, and for some purpose, left this City of Miracles still here?

As thoughts bubbled up one after another in Klein’s mind, «The Star» Leonard, with his hands in his pockets, looked at him and then at «Justice,» who had also been silently gazing downward, and broke the silence: «This city is indeed magnificent and grand, and obviously not meant for humans or humanoids, but there’s no need to stare at it for so long.
