Chapter: 163
If you traveled up north, the majority of the mountain peaks were made of granite. The Roan Kingdom had quite a lot of Rock Mountains.
Taylor continued to speak, as if he suddenly remembered something.
�If you look through the ancient stories, there are many, �boulder,� related stories, even before the Roan Kingdom came into existence. One of them says that this land had a boulder-like guardian.�
The Roan Kingdom was located on the Northeast of the Western Continent.
�It was a guardian that could protect everything from any kind of attack. When darkness descended on the continent, this guardian was the one to stand in the front against it.�
There were many different myths about the end of the ancient times. You would hear tons of different stories as you traveled around the continent.
Some say that the end of the ancient times came when darkness descended and some heroes managed to defeat this darkness, others say it ended because people were jealous of each other�s powers and fought for control. Finally, some even say that a god was so angry that it destroyed all living beings.
The story that Taylor was discussing right now was one of those many myths.
�Taylor, you seem to like that story?�
Taylor nodded his head at Cage�s question.
�Yes. I do.�
Cale turned to look at Taylor. Taylor had always had a fragile body, even before his legs became paralyzed. Taylor patted his knees and continued to speak.
�The guardian is said to have stood firmly in place, like a boulder, even after everything in his body became broken. That was how he was able to protect the people and the land of this Northeastern area, that is covered in boulders.�
There were a lot of different contents in the stories regarding the darkness that descended onto the continent.
When the darkness appeared at the center of the continent, other myths discussed the tales of those heroes that fought against it. However, the main character in the one Taylor is talking about only focused on protecting.
Taylor considered such an individual to be a hero.
�Such an existence cannot survive in the present day. That is why I like this myth so much.�
�But you don�t seem to believe it?�
Taylor nodded his head at Cage�s question.
It is very rare to see someone injure himself so severely to protect something.�
�I agree.�
Cale nodded his head to agree with Taylor�s statement. It was one thing to protect yourself, but this guardian protected others and this Northeastern land? Cale could not understand such logic.
�But this is my first time hearing about this specific story.�
Cale had read about all sorts of legends and myths regarding ancient powers while reading until volume 5 of, �The Birth of a Hero.� However, this was the first time he heard about the boulder guardian of Roan Kingdom. JrNovels.com
