Chapter 170 Old Fable

Chapter 170 Old Fable

"It truly is." Yuki agreed with Gale as the memories of his clan's inner struggle flashed before his eyes, making him a bit sad.

However, Gale and Freya didn't notice, or to say they ignored it, they didn't want to bring back someone's sad stuff hidden inside their hearts.

Afterwards, they started talking about their experiences and how their days went these past months. Gale also got well acquainted with Freya, and Freya, who thought Gale might be someone with full arrogance and might ignore her, got surprised by his demeanor.

Their chat ended after an hour when the moon started to shine brightly, illuminating the garden that had no source of light.

Seeing that their conversation was about to end, Yuki asked the thing that was stuck inside his mind. "Gale, you told everyone earlier about immortals. Are they real? Can people really achieve such a feat?"

"Heh…" Gale tilted his head and smirked at Yuki. "To be honest, I should be asking you this, not you to me. Right, Yuki Skyripper, runaway from the famous swordsman clan?"

'Huh!?' Yuki's eyes widened in shock, as he didn't expect Gale to expose such a thing. Gale might not have told everything, but the small amount he exposed was enough for Yuki to guess that Gale knew about his identity.

Meanwhile, Freya was left confused, not understanding what Gale meant or why his words shocked Yuki. 'Famous swordsman clan…? Is it Yuki's clan? Now that I think of it, I never gave a thought about his clan; I always assumed he was from our nearby clan.'

"When did you know?" Yuki gave up without trying, as he knew it was futile.

"From the very beginning." Gale's answer surprised Yuki even more, making him worry about Gale now. Gale was from the Burnheart family and only had a small amount of influence, it was impossible for him to know such a thing. So, it meant Gale was hiding a big secret. But Yuki wouldn't try to pry on him, as he didn't do anything to him despite knowing his secrets.

Yuki said, staring intensely at Gale's eyes. "So, you want to learn about immortality from me despite being much more knowledgeable about this than me?"

Gale just chuckled and shook his head. "It isn't like that. I might know more than you, but there are some things that can't be known just by reading and assuming. Your clan is very experienced, I am sure they know something or have even witnessed things that I don't know of."

"Yes, you're right." Yuki agreed with Gale, deciding to tell him everything, as from Gale's words, it looked like he would reveal his part after he did his first. "Immortals, such beings might be legends or myths now, but in the ancient period they were a norm. We could see people walking alongside humans, participating in many incidents for the benefit of humanity. The early world was very prosperous, something that we can already dream of now."

At this point, Yuki's voice had dimmed a little. "However, that didn't last long as the Cosmic Calamity occurred that destroyed the world and the structure in which the earth would spew spiritual energy. For lack of spiritual energy, the few immortals that were left all went into hiding."

"Hmmm…." Gale went into deep thought after hearing that before he came up with his conclusion. "Your story feels like a fabled legend. Not very detailed, but filled with excellence and wonder."

"To be honest, you can say it is. But this knowledge has been passed down by our ancestors, who have fought alongside them. Unfortunately, this knowledge got lost bit by bit with the passage of time." Yuki shook his head, frustrated.

"However, it does match with what I know." Gale then told his version, which he combined with the knowledge the system would give from time to time.

After Gale was done, Yuki gave his own conclusion about Gale's knowledge. "So, you are basically saying to me that reaching this immortal realm is still possible but very hard to achieve now. The reason is because the laws are broken and the density of spiritual energy is reduced very much."

Gale nodded his head. "And don't ask me what the law is. I don't even know it myself."

"Well, that is already enough for me. It at least gives me hope that immortality is achievable, not some fable." Yuki stood up, ready to leave, but he asked something else before doing so. "By the way, what is your goal now?"

"My goal…" Gale pondered a bit before answering. "My end goal might be immortality, but the current…I do not know. Till I find one, I will just spend my days with my wives, and I have enough time to find one."

"I see, you are right. Let's take our time. It isn't like the world is about to end." Yuki turned around, flashing a smile at Gale. However, he has not even taken a step; he has come to a halt. He turned his head to his right and asked. "Don't you want to leave, or do you have something to talk about with Gale in private?"

Freya, who was in a daze and in a deep state of processing the information she just received, woke up after hearing Yuki's voice. "Ah..ah…yes.. I forgot." She hastily stood up and said this to Yuki. "Let's go."

Yuki just gave her something weird before walking along with her. Before they exited through the door, Yuki gave a nod to Gale, while Freya just waved her hand. In return, Gale nodded at them with a smile.

After the door shut down, Gale thought with a smirk on his face. 'They do make a good pair.'

Then, with that smirk still on his face, he turned around and said. "Sneaking into someone's house is punishment worthy, Captain Vik."

Vik ignored him and sat in the chair Yuki was in. "Punishment is only given where there is law, but this town is currently lawless."

"Hehehe, you're not wrong, Vik." Gale chuckled at Vik's quote.
