Cale could see Alberu�s eyes that seemed to be sparkling even in this darkness.

�We will stick the Roan Kingdom�s flag on the Eastern continent.�
�You�re quite greedy.�
�I�ll take that as a compliment.�
�As you please.�

Alberu observed Cale responding nonchalantly and looking away from the boulder and at the stone chamber itself as he asked another question.

�But do you have any proof that the White Star�s power, that the sky attribute power is from the Demon World?�
�Ah, you see��

Cale explained the things that had happened until now as well as information that might prove that his hypothesis was correct.
To finish off, it was time to talk about his recent trip to the World Tree. He chose the things he could share from his conversation with the World Tree to explain.

�What about the Demon World? Did you ask the World Tree about the Demon World?�
�Mm.�

Cale stopped talking for a moment after hearing Alberu�s question and started to think.

He had taken Elf priestess Adite to the inn after making a deal with Sully, the contractor for the Fire Elemental.
He had to go back to the Elf Village with the World Tree to meet Adite, and he had another chat with the World Tree while he was there.

�What do you think about my thoughts regarding the Demonic race and the Demon World? I�m talking about the White Star�s sky attribute power.�

The World Tree said something unrelated to Cale�s question.

�As I mentioned last time, there was not much I could see around the end of the ancient times because my sight was covered by darkness.�

The World Tree repeated what she had said when they first met.

The ancient times.
The story about how she could not see the flow of the world because her sight was covered by darkness at that time.

�What is that darkness?�

Cale had asked once more as he had done the first time, and the World Tree responded the same way she did when they first met.

�I can only speak the things that the World allows me to say. I told you this last time, right?�
�Yes, ma�am. You did say that.�
�I also said that I cannot say anything about things I cannot see.�
�That is correct.�

The World Tree stopped talking for a moment as if she was thinking before continuing to speak.

�I could not predict the true body of the darkness. However, the me that lived during that time did see �darkness.� Unfortunately, that is something I cannot discuss.�

It was the same answer as in the past. JrNovels.com
