"It's submerged in darkness. Its enviroment is one of the reason why it was so hard for the wizards to explore it," Voidslayer revealed.

"You keep talking about the wizards doing this and that. What were the bloodline users doing?" Val asked.

"There were no bloodline users in that era. They came about after the appearance of the Crimson Moon due to a wizard called Valerius. He should be a notable figure in history considering he was granted highest authority in the wizard community only a while after his first appearance."Voidslayer exposed the hidden truth to Val

"Wait, wait, wait, are you telling my wizards existed before the catastrophe that flipped the laws of this world?" Val asked, clearly taken aback by the revelation.

Voidslayer said, "What, you didn't know?"

Val shook his head in affirmation to Voidslayer's question, saying "No, I didn't" with his actions.

"Someone must have tampered with history!" Voidslayer exclaimed, contemplating the possible reasons behind this misinformation.

"Not just someone," Val said. "It has to be the highest of the kingdom. The royal family."

"Voidslayer, I propose we compare our knowledge. I believe our differing experiences could lead to enlightening discoveries," Val suggested.

"Sure, I am interested in knowing about current affairs," Voidslayer said eagerly.

The exchange that followed did lead to more revelations. 

Voidslayer got a better understanding of the world outside the Frontier and found it bewildering. In the previous era, wizards were the master of the safe haven created for humans. The humans revered them, and the beasts and devil lived in fear of them. But that was no longer the case. The Super soldiers had become the master of the safe haven, and wizards were just one of the few powerful faction in the Queen's court. How ironic!

Val also benefitted from this. More layers were added to the history Val thought he knew.

It turned out that wizards had been a part of Eldrich since time immemorial. They were a tightly-knit community, one that refused to mingle with outsiders, especially humans. Their self-perception was that of superior beings, and it was considered disgraceful to lower their standards and interact with humans.

They had been tasked with protecting Eldrich from foreign invasions, but they failed. When the Crimson Moon appeared, it signaled the end of the world as they knew it. The emergence of devils, the mutation of beasts and plants, and the dreadful sight of the dead rising from their graves overwhelmed the wizards, the only beings who could fight bacj against such monstrosity. 

In this chaos, when a savior appeared with a way to save the last remaining humans, he was accepted without doubts.

Valerius emerged seemingly out of nowhere, with a method to transform ordinary humans into super soldiers. 

Given their desperation, the wizard community welcomed him with open arms and helped disseminate his method among the masses made out of the very beings they considered inferior and descrimnataed against.

As the information spread, the first generation of super soldiers was born.

With the advent of these super soldiers, now termed as bloodline users, humans were able to repel their enemies and establish a safe haven.

This, it turned out, was the true origin of the kingdom, a story that had been hidden for reasons unknown.

Val cross-referenced this newfound information with his own knowledge. 

As a result, it became clear that he had been misled. The history book accessible in the kingdom were only half true. The other half was full of horse shit.

Humans had not started being born with a special organ enabling them to practice wizardry after the appearance of the Red Moon. They had always existed. Moreover, the existence of wizards and the method to create cursed artifacts predated the catastrophe. Lastly, Valerius's background as told in the history textbooks was bogus. 

This realization made Val feel validated in his decision to compare notes with Voidslayer. 'I have made the right choice,' he thought.

He had certainly taken a step towards the truth, a step away from the misinformation he'd been taught.

"Voidslayer, when you said Valerius appeared out of nowhere, is it because he wasn't a part of the wizard community? Or is there another reason?" Val asked.

"Valerius, before the catastrophe, had no traceable past," Voidslayer explained. "There was no house registry in his name, no known relatives, no history. He wasn't a part of a mortal clan either. How should I put it? It wss like..."

Val mused, "Like he wasn't from this world at all."

"Yes, exactly," Voidslayer said. "It was as if he sprang into existence at that very moment, with no past ties to Eldrich or its wizard and mortal communities If I had to simplify it, I would say it was as if he had appeared out of thin air just when we needed him the most. There were whispers among the wizards of old. Some thought that he was the physical manifestation of Eldrich's will itself, sent to help them survive the apocalypse."

"Do you know anything else about Valerius?" Val asked.

"I never liked that guy, so no," Voidslayer said dismissively.

"Why don't you like him?" Val queried.

"He appeared out of nowhere and usurped the position of the Community Leader that rightfully belonged to my previous master," Voidslayer explained, bitterness creeping into its tone. "As the inheritor of the previous Wizard King, it was my master's position. But he lost it to Valerius. I can never like the guy that stole Assam's opportunity." 

"Even though Assam thought otherwise?" Val asked. "It's mentioned in history that Assam was Valerius's right hand man. You understand what that means, right?" 

"I do," Voidslayer said. "But a majority of the history is faked to make the inferior look better than wizards. So what are the chances that Assam being Valerius's closest confidate isn't a lie? And even if he was, it must be because he was burdened with the responsibility to lead mankind to a bettee position."

"Whatever floats your boat," Val said.

With this, the fruitful conversation came to an end!
