I Became A System
Chapter 195 - Blessed [2]
The other Blessed left Ellena and Gero. It was only Polan who was there to assist them as 078 had to make a report.
As soon as we arrived, Polan, the guy who assisted Ellena, started teaching Ellena about the history of the Blessed and how society called them 'Cursed Children' and 'Witches'.
The fear of 'Cursed Children' started 500 years ago. It was just after the whole continent got established after the peace between kingdoms.
There was also an independent organization, or group, that stood in each country; it was the Temple.
The temple was there to guide the people, heal them and teach them about their abilities. But, it was only supposed to be that way...
After some studies, the Temple started to discover the phenomenon that only happens to people who have black hair. At that time, they weren't feared and hated. In fact, they are regarded as being people who were talented despite not having had that much use of their runes.
Talented? Why so? It was because of their talent for rough control of mana and containing it inside their bodies. And because of it, the first pure mage studied more about rough mana control.
After some studies, he came up with the invention of magic circles and the method of containing mana.
Now, that unnamed legend was surely a genius one. Not that he disclosed it to the temple, he even proceeded to take it to the next level. How can people who have their runes purely activated be pure mages?
The Temple was overjoyed. Because of his studies, they recruited Blessed people and taught them about the rough control and method of containing mana.
But this was all during the time when the unnamed legend was researching how to turn everyone into pure mages. After that, showing no progress, the Temple feared their powers.
Fear? Or precisely, threatened that they might lose their power.
And so, after that, the Temple started taking action to capture every trained Blessed as well as kill people with black hair. They made up information, telling everyone that the 'gods' gave them an oracle to eradicate evil humans like them.
Yes, they were evil, as the Temple said. And thus, being powerless, the Blessed humans were left with no choice but to escape and search for shelter.
It was also after 20 years that the unnamed legend started the secret magic society. And thus, they continued living in seclusion.
As time went on, the Temple grew tired of searching for Blessed humans, and so they just warned the people that humans with black hair are wicked.
And at that time, many years continued flowing, more false information spread, coming into the current knowledge that cursed children attract witches, and they have retribution against you if you dare to kill or drive them before the coming of age.
For that whole time, the secret magic society continued living in secrecy. First, they continued studying magic, until now at present, they have various types of magic that can be used at their own will.
Of course, it doesn't remove the fact that Blessed are hard to teach magic if they don't have the idea, making cursed children powerless in society.
That was rough all that happened to them. And other speculation I had turned out to be real.
"If you are powerful, why didn't you take your revenge on the Temple?" Ellena asked, but I suppose it's obvious. Blessed will still be the villain in the eyes of people.
They don't know about the 'gods', but I think it is about the Ancient Dot of Wordly Seal that Polan mentioned.
"We didn't take revenge on them, it's obvious. The world is in danger. Why would we dare to make innocent people drown in turmoil? Also, there is the Ancient Dot of Wordly Seal that the Great Ancestor said to be the reason why we aren't blessed by gods. And so, the only thing they could do was just to make Blessed people the protection of the continent. "
However, I didn't expect that Ellena would be interested in it. Just after Polan mentioned it, she jolted then asked Polan about it.
"Do you know where the other one is?!"
The other one? Hearing it made me perplexed. It seemed like Ellena knew about it.
"Other one?" Polan asked.
"Yes, there were two, so do you know where the other one is?" Ellena continued.
"Ah... I don't know for sure, but from what I can remember, it's in another country. In our kingdom, Olteria has a neighboring country that has the other one. That country is the Theocracy of Monasteria. But, may I ask? How did you know it?"
Ellena flinched as she went back to her previous state.
She's acting weird. It was as if she was conscious of what she was going to say.
"Nothing. It just happened."
"I see... I won't question you again."
Polan's assistance continued for more minutes. He assisted them around the base.
There were different buildings around, and just as I was curious where we were going, Polan stopped.
"This whole area was just the outer part of the whole society. Since you are all guests and not official students of the society, we won't be going to the Central."
Woo... From what Polan was saying, it seems like there are more places in this area. Outer and Central... I wonder if there's even a difference.
The whole area we walked was as if a refugee camp in Earth's future.
"Does that mean everyone here isn't a student?"
Ellena was talking about others who were living in other people's living quarters.
"They are students but they all have a mission. Students with a mission or task live here so that they can easily leave for the mission they have."
"I see... So far, thank you for assisting us."
"Then please think about joining us. I am sure that the knowledge you want will be provided by us."
Ellena nodded, then, after it, Polan said his farewell.
Ellena and Gero were given living quarters that looked like a house. It was even a house that had 100 square meters.
This is living in the underworld, a literal one.
"Ellena, can I ask? How did you know about the Ancient Dot?"
It was one that I hadn't read despite reading different books, so I was curious. But if she feels like not mentioning it, I don't insist.
'Sorry. I'll talk about it in the future. Right now, I don't want to tell you about it.'
"I see..."
It's not that bad.
