The following day, as dawn barely began to break, Colin led Jennifer to the Lightless Forest.
Erwin had mentioned the secret of the ancestors, or more specifically, the exact location of the secret realm of the Roon Family, in manuscripts left in the Palace's secret chamber.
This secret realm was the most important legacy of the Roon Family.
Its location, like the method to open it, had vanished with the death of those Third Rank Wizards of the Roon Family many years ago.
Nevertheless, Erwin had vaguely heard in his youth that the secret realm was within the Lightless Forest. Thus, he spent more than a decade searching through the forest and eventually, with some luck, managed to find the entrance to the secret realm.
"Master Colin, this is the place," said Jennifer, pointing to an unremarkable patch of woodland.
"Hmm," Colin nodded slightly.
