Quick Transmigration: Goddess Of My Imagination

Chapter 206: Historical Record (2)

After the explanation was given, Ella and Evelyn no longer looked at Pope. However, both of them became shocked as they glanced at the ancient book. Elysia was reading it silently ahead of them!

"Ely."

"Ely, aren't we going to read that together?"

Evelyn and Ella delivered their little protest to the girl sitting in the middle of them.

"Ah, ohh... I'm sorry, I just got to page four. Let's start from the first page again." Elysia smiled with a pang of slight guilt. She carefully turned the pages to the starting sheet.

Hearing that, Ella and Evelyn smiled back and then drew closer to Elysia. Meanwhile, the girl who was flanked by something soft from two sides just ignored it because there was something more important in her hands.

Feelings of embarrassment or the like that could make her blush did not arise because her focus was completely diverted to the ancient book and Elena's discussion.

Elysia read the first sheet one more time, then innocently turned the page slowly. However, her focus was interrupted once again by two girls who couldn't read the ancient language.

"Ely, I can't read the ancient language. Can you read it with your own voice instead of reading it silently?"

"En, we also want to know."

Ella and Evelyn slightly poked Elysia's arm for attention. They both seemed so united in asking for the same thing. Despite not knowing anything related to the ancient language, their curiosity for the lost history was great.

Since their friend was proficient in the ancient language, it would be nice if Elysia read the book as if telling a fairy tale for them.

"Sure." Elysia nodded, but her gaze was still on the book in her hand. She returned to the first page once again to read it out in her voice. Of course, it pleased the two girls who requested it.

"In ancient times..." Elysia read that in her pleasant voice. Unfortunately, she failed to continue her story, which she did on-demand only because two golden-haired girls on both sides interrupted her once again.

"Ely, please don't tease us. Ella and I don't know the ancient language, let alone understand what you are saying."

"Can you read it in Aefasy? Can you translate it for us as you read it?"

Evelyn and Ella asked once more as if their friend was a versatile girl. It might irritate someone from repeated interruptions and then a request like that, but that someone wasn't Elysia.

Elysia treated her friends with special care because they deserved it just as well as they treated her well.

She just nodded and repeated her words, but in Aefasy. Even though she didn't know for sure how she could easily change languages. One thing was certain, she only needed to suggest herself with imagination and concentration.

"In ancient times--"

For the next few minutes, Elysia spoke what she read in the ancient book. Evelyn and Ella could also understand what was written there, and they just listened attentively.

The two girls could ask for a later retelling, ask the Pope for a translation, or they could even ask the Pope to read it for them. However, they asked Elysia to read it for several reasons.

Elysia had no idea that her friendly, easygoing, and patient actions had left a good impression on the two girls. Alexander also smiled at Elysia when she read it, like reading a fairy tale to her friends. She didn't even give a negative response because of these two silly girls' requests, which sometimes overwhelm people.

After reading the ancient book to a blank page in the middle of the book, Elysia lowered the grimoire she was holding onto her lap.

At that time, she had some complicated expressions after she read half of the ancient book. It was a note written directly by Nell when she had fallen in her deep slumber via her avatar until finally it was handed over to Pope.

Besides that, there were some important things that she could learn from what she just read. The symbol on the first page was the same as the symbol engraved on the gold block found at the bottom of the lake. After that, some explanations concerning the curses that ravaged this world, the cursed creatures, and much more.

Apart from that, Nell also implicitly explained about this grimoire summarizing twelve other grimoires that had been scattered somewhere. No one knew for sure the whereabouts of the twelve grimoires.

Although not as detailed as the twelve grimoire series written by Nell and her followers... She made this so that her people would know what happened long ago so that they began to make preparations as soon as possible for the inevitable. Still, this brief summary was written based solely on memory before her avatar ran out of power and disappeared.

No wonder Nell needed to confirm something as soon as possible before explaining further to Elena. There were too many things that had happened in these hundred thousand years, and Nell needed to update her knowledge of the world today. Perhaps, she didn't remember all the details perfectly because of the length of time she fell into her deep slumber.

'However, why only half? It's a pity... Most of the cursed creatures were sealed away, but where? What should be prepared... What should be anticipated? What should we do? Too many other questions! Sigh...' Elysia cried out with a sigh in her mind.

'Ely, take a breath, then let it out. Calm your mind a little with something fresh. When your mind is calm, things won't seem complicated anymore.' Elena gave a suggestion to the restless and confused girl.

Elysia obediently took the advice until she felt calm again. Even if the situation didn't change, at least she felt better with a clear mind, and she could think more brightly.

"What do you think after reading that ancient book, Elysia?" Alexander looked at the girl who had a little complicated expression between the two confused girls.

"Curses, disasters, problems, and many more questions without answers. This ancient book is incomplete." Elysia replied in a neutral tone. She glanced back at the ancient book on the first page of the blank sheet.

"Yes, that's the general conclusion you can draw from what was written in the memorial book left by the Goddess of Blessings. You may have missed some of the things that were implied. Because of that, the Human Race is preparing many things just in case." Alexander nodded his head with his own understanding.

"Hmm? What did humanity prepare, Grandpa?" Elysia asked that with interest, and the two girls next to her also suddenly became interested in this sensitive topic.

"Please read the last page that is written. Before the seal word, the previous sentence is written implicitly about a race that is the enemy of this world. Yes, I don't know which other races are currently, but our Human Race has other enemies besides the Devil Race. We are preparing for it in the last few decades if they are free from the seal." Alexander declared it proudly.

For some reason, he emphasized his words to the Devil Race, not to the sealed races called cursed creatures. Elysia and Elena wondered in their minds. Maybe something happened to Pope against the Devil Race? Despite that, they didn't really ask about it or think any further in that direction.

In contrast to Elysia, who was not surprised, Ella and Evelyn became scared and agitated girls.

"Wha- what? The world at this point is bad, but now one more race wants to invade our continent? Ahh... More wars, how many more casualties..." Ella felt a little sluggish after her grandfather said that.

She was already shocked and confused after hearing the story about the lost history. Still, she could sigh of relief because it had happened long ago. Nevertheless, it was much more profound than what she heard.

"So, so... Will humanity wage large-scale war against two races at once? That's terrible." Evelyn's face paled slightly at that direct explanation.

She didn't really understand complicated sentences and implied words. Still, it was bad for the present and the future if that was the endpoint. Devil Race alone was scary, and now the sealed race would come to enliven the chaos?

"Well, nobody knows, and that's just the preparation of the inevitable. But you don't need to worry too much. It's been handled by many parties. Sooner or later, everyone will also know the truth, and you only know this earlier than others." Alexander shrugged his shoulders and gave words of comfort to the two restless girls.

Evelyn and Ella only nodded weakly. They understood that, and it was a privilege to know sooner than others.

"Well, look at the girl among you. She still has her composure. She understands the meaning of the ancient book and knows how to respond to it. That's what I mean by a wise person because of knowledge. So, do you regret your decision to find out about lost history?" Alexander gently asked as he pointed towards Elysia.

Evelyn and Ella simultaneously glanced at the girl in their midst. Elysia was still calm, unlike them. Despite that, they didn't want to lose, and they didn't want Pope to think they were unprepared. Elysia's calm had motivated them.

"No, grandfather. Thanks for letting me know about lost history." Evelyn shook her head subtly as she turned towards Pope once again.

"Grandfather, I understand what you mean by telling us this. I will try to be a wiser girl." Ella sighed softly and looked back at her grandfather.

"That's a good thing if you understand." Alexander nodded with a gentle smile.

At the same time, Elysia noticed a strange symbol in the last sentence before the blank page. She seemed to understand what that symbol meant.

For the experiment, she made a little water element magic on her index finger's tip, then pasted it onto the blank page.

"What!? Elysia girl, what are you doing!" Alexander suddenly exclaimed in panic.
