What is the background behind Odin's rise to the top of the southern continent?

Most talk about the meeting of Eldora, the head of Odin, and the esteemed prophet Melinus, but if you look closely, you can't see that that's all. Similar groups exist in the southern continent, for example, as the North calls the Ten rivers a special user.

When Eldora was first summoned to Hall Plain, she was only a little girl about six years ago. No matter how high-potential a user is, what can a 14-year-old do in this barren world?

It was then that Melinus appeared as the Savior who had already gained a reputation on the south continent. Unfortunately, Melinus, who was serving as a caregiver of a backup user, saw Eldora who had just come in, recognized her potential and killed her guardian. In other words, he decided to bring them up himself.

Thus, Eldora begins to unveil her potential under the prophet's protection. There is one thing Eldora is doing. The way Melinus told you to go, the way Melinus told you to go. But this didn't mean that it moved like a puppet. It's because Melinus was always careful not to let Eldora feel that way. I always showed a respectful attitude everywhere, and when I had to do something, I had enough explanation to confer on the party.

Eldora recognized the meaning and fulfilled her expectations faithfully. On the contrary, it was a good thing it went well, because Melinus said nothing bad could ever come of it.

Thus, two years later, Eldora stood in the eyes of a storm on the southern continent. The name of the blonde girl began to appear gradually among the users, and more and more people became touchy about Eldora's daily routine.

Of course, this was also Melinus' intention. Melinus handled the attention of users who could lead to jealousy if they were wrong in two ways.

The first was not pursuing self-interest, but strictly for the public good. From Sosa to Ambassador, when the South was in trouble, Eldora always took the lead. For example, you could have allied with a closed fairy to open the fairy forest, or you could have approached the Orc Castle and discovered it.

Then, the South Continent users began to become slightly enthusiastic about Eldora's march. In fact, the benefit to them was that, secondly, a beautiful girl met an old sage and had a romantic adventure, and it felt like a kind of fantasy literature in the process of creating a power. That way, Eldora was getting similar attention as an accredited person.

And the second was not just the Poison-Fire ceremony, but also a group of high-profile users. Like all continents, there were many famous users, and Melinus was actively recruited through a variety of methods, including calling out to the one who had an epiphany, or coming and persuading him himself. There was even a dramatic event in which Eldora and her colleagues dueled.

After all, individuals and power, those who spread their names in one region came together, and that became a big concern. Eldora treats them as equal, not her minions. Whenever something important happened, I always sat around the table and discussed it without discrimination, and always led to the right decision.

Users in the southern continent refer to the group as Knights Of The Round Table, the Knights of the Round Table.

The location Olivia spoke of was never a short distance from Ragnarok, but the expedition marched smoothly. The stabilization area was out of the picture, and there were no particularly threatening distances in the quasi-stabilization area. Apart from Olivia, the guide, there are thirteen knights, including Eldora, and even Melinus, mostly consist of secret classes, so you won't have to blink your eyes unless you're a confused monster.

Moreover, the expedition was closer to its destination on an earlier date because Eldora continued to pursue the vigilante's desire to find the stables. However, Eldora pauses at the foot of the mountain to see if she can ignore Ian's successive request to rest. In fact, the proximity was not a big deal, but Ian needed some consideration because he was the only non-combat user in the Knights of the Round.

Akirov looks around with a relatively relaxed face and approaches Olivia, reclining on a large rock.

“Elpin Lord. I thought I heard you say you were almost there. ”

“Yes, I just need to get over there. ”

Olivia, who swallowed her breath, points to the top of the mountain without even looking. There were steep mountain paths slanted with sharp swords, and the rolling hillsides with hollow clouds.

Akirov nods a couple of times.

“I see, but you know what? I didn't expect to run into you, but why can't I see any other users? Are they waiting for us out there? ”

“… encounter? Who?"

“Who? The Elpin clans. ”

“We've evacuated them all. ”

“What? Why? What about the guide?”

“We took heavy casualties at the entrance. So I told him to go back. I can guide you. ”

Suddenly, Akirov crosses his arms and looks arrogant and unique.

“Hmm…. ”

“Why?”

“No. I admit I found the ball, but I feel like I'm eating it too early. ”

“Oh, that's a pretty grumpy quote for a knight in shining armor. ”

Akirov shoots me with a standing tone, but Olivia takes it well. Suddenly, Akirov suddenly looks away as he tries to spill a stronger word. Someone appears quietly through the bush.

The body is wrapped in leaves, like a leaf in a mountain landscape, and the breasts are full of a fist, but still full of flesh. And the woman who created a mysterious atmosphere with her ears sticking out through her hair, was Elf Erwin.

“Tsk.”

Akirov frowns straightaway. I stared at the hinderer openly. However, as Erwin continues to walk, he kicks his tongue and turns away as if he doesn't want to face you anymore. He hides himself from the trees, and Olivia giggles. He shakes his head, smiling as he looks at Erwin's sorry face.

“Don't worry. He hasn't done that once or twice, has he? Well, that's actually not wrong. ”

“No, no one would think that. Eldorado is deeply grateful to Olivia. ”

“Thank you for saying that. Phew. Nice timing, by the way. Were you watching? ”

“That's... ”

Olivia, who cheerfully joined her words, was surprised to see Erwin, who was running his mouth.

“Do you have something to do with me...? ”

Erwin nods cautiously, making sure the answer is correct. Then I looked around quietly and opened my mouth in a lower voice.

“By any chance... ”

“Do you?”

“Isn't Melinus acting a little strange lately? ”

“ ……. ”

Olivia stares at Erwin quietly for about three seconds. And by tilting my head slightly, I expressed the feelings of something.

“I don't know. ”

“I see…. ”

“Why?”

“No, it's just... I often see myself restless, and I feel a little nervous... ”

“Oh, Melinus? ”

“Yes. I also heard some strange soliloquy whispering. ”

Olivia says it's a habit that has been done for a long time. However, as the water on Erwin's face does not dissipate, he shrugs and scratches his cheeks.

“I don't know. If it bothers you, why don't you ask Eldora instead of me? ”

“Sometimes it's better to see the distant side than the nearer side. ”

Olivia realizes Erwin's ambiguity.

“Yes. I didn't feel much strange, actually, but if Erwin does, I'll take a closer look. ”

He lowers his head and gently turns away, just to make sure he's relieved. Immediately, you hear Eldora scream that she's leaving, and Olivia gets up on her butt.

But Olivia didn't move right away. You pause for a moment, gazing back at Erwin as he walks.

After resuming the march, the expedition rises to the top and looks down.

Across the ridge was a vast basin surrounded by mountain ranges, where many of the presumed ancient buildings remained broken. An intact architecture is just a giant tower that rises alone in the middle.

However, even the tower has the power to overcome the power of time. Moreover, the sandstorm was practically a ruin.

“That's a lot less than I thought. ”

Edward mutters to himself, and Olivia shakes her index finger.

“You'll be in trouble if you underestimate me. It's pretty dangerous to see them. I had no idea there was a trap on the way to the tower. ”

“Then I'll take the lead from here, right? ”

Olivia hurriedly stops Natalie as she tries to jump off in a cold hue.

“Wait. I'll show you around. We can go the way our clans have broken through. I shouldn't have gone the other way... ”

Natalie sighs and complains, but as Eldora stares at you, she quickly retreats to a convincing face. It's because I didn't have to go through all this trouble to buy it.

Soon, the expedition set out and began to lead Olivia down the mountain. Arriving at the bottom, the basin was much larger and more complex than when you looked up. The wreckage of the destroyed building blocks the way and makes me feel like I can see the maze.

However, Olivia, an experienced person, did not hesitate a bit. After skillfully navigating through the building, you stop walking within a distance of the tower, some 60 meters away. In the front, there was a long, two-metre-high wall that blocked the way to the tower.

Olivia walks right up to the front, patting the wall a few times, then tapping her back to look around the expedition.

“This is the mural I was talking about... ”

At that moment, Ian sprints forward like a bullet before he can even finish speaking. Someone says, "You're on fire again.” I muttered, but I did not restrain myself. Ian, a non-combat user, could have been selected as one of the Knights of the Round because he had more knowledge of the ancient hall plains than anyone else.

“Let me see, shall I? ”

Soon, the expedition began to take a relaxing walk around the mural. The walls were filled with metaphysical texts reminiscent of similar-looking occipital characters, or odd drawings that were difficult for Moora.

Most of them gave up shaking their heads as soon as they saw it, but Ian was also different. At first, I thought it might be a quick walk through the wall, but as I went, it was slower and slower. Almost at the end, I felt a little surprised.

“Huh. Is this...? ”

After a while, Ian blurs his words with a serious look.

“Why? What do you know? ”

A mature woman with a white cross shield, who can feel the white chili, sneaks up and asks.

“No, well... ”

Ian frowns as if he's having trouble seeing the expedition gathering.

“I'm curious about the interpretation of the renowned Ian scholar. ”

When Olivia asks with a curious voice, Ian smiles bitterly and connects the words.

“No. Elpin Lord's interpretation is accurate. I don't know if it's accurate, but it almost fits me. It looks like this mural dealt with God's Seal. I checked the drawings of the sacred objects. ”

Even though he said that, Ian stared at the corner with a dim gaze. The place to look at was the end of the mural, where no painting was drawn.

“Ahh. I think there's a margin... I didn't think I needed to interpret it. ”

“Not really. ”

Olivia says Ian shakes his head calmly.

“Ancient murals have no idea where they mean. If you had left it in the margins, it would have given itself some sort of meaning. Yeah, that's what it's all about. Space…. Space with nothing…. Vacant... Vacant... Empty…."

Erwin stares at Ian with slightly anxious eyes, listening to the words that flow out like he was possessed by something, he opens his mouth quietly.

“Sounds like death to me. ”

“That's it. ”

At that moment, mate! A loud clap sounds. The users who were just listening were stunned and wandering around.

“Right. What if this margin represents death...? ”

“Oh, right. That reminds me. It was very old food.... ”

Ian, who was talking to himself in a row, suddenly took a big breath.

“So if I could put together my opinion of Miss Erwin and I... This margin is the justification of death, no. Maybe it's an abstract representation of death. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

Ian turns around.

“I don't know the details of this, but... Maybe.”

Then, for a moment, he looks at the golden glasses and raises them.

“In this language, I think it means Thanatos. ”
