Chapter 103: Zuatania’s Death Reasons

“I remember you. If my master were still alive, she would have been very happy to see that your reincarnation worked well.”

Tar sighed remembering his master’s death.

“How did she die?”

Yale was curious about that, Tofesh had died due to old age, but Zuatania founded a whole republic while Tofesh only a clan, so Zuatania should have been more powerful than him.

“She was killed. One day she returned to the association with her soul dissipating, but she never told me the details. She only took care of the association’s matters ensuring that everything will work well after her death and then she left and never returned. No one knew where she passed her last days; I was hoping that you knew it.”

Tears appeared in Tar’s face, his master’s death was something that continued affecting him even after that many years.

Yale also had tears in his eyes, but they appeared due to an ominous feeling he felt after hearing how Zuatania had died.

“I don’t know it either. Reply to me; there is any other expert from Zuatania’s era alive?”

Tar didn’t understand the reasons for the change in topic, but Yale’s tone of voice was different from before; Tar understood that he wasn’t asking randomly.

“All disappeared or dead, except Revgen. I heard that he had shut himself in the Imperial City of the Revgen Empire for ages, but the token Zuatania had of him remained intact, so he is still alive.”

After replying, Tar felt that was indeed strange that all the people from that era were dead, except one that refused to interact with others for ages.

At that moment, Yale ignored the information about the Revgen Empire; his mind was focused on the past. He was in a trance, lost in his forgotten memories.

“Probably, Revgen hid himself after Zuatania’s dead. The disappeared ones should also be hiding or dead.”

“Indeed, Revgen announced his seclusion some weeks after my master’s token broke. My master didn’t have tokens from all the experts of the era, but only Revgen’s remained intact of those she had. Now that you mention it, they had all died in the following years; it is indeed strange. We didn’t think too much about it as at that time we were all affected by my master’s death. Do you think that Revgen did it? But his power was similar to my master’s, even if he was a bit more skilled in battle I can’t believe he killed her. Furthermore, their relationship was a cordial one.”

Yale shocked his head, Tar was thinking in the wrong direction.

“I doubt Revgen did anything to Zuatania; he is a pacifist who only battles when there isn’t any other way. He should have felt the danger and hid himself, seeing that all experts from his era were dying, that course of action was a reasonable one with his personality. However, I have a solid guess about who killed them all, indirectly killing by forcing the slow dissipation of the soul isn’t a normal method after all.”

Tar felt shocked that Yale had a guess about the culprit, but at that moment he remembered how Yale’s past life died, it was by a slow soul dissipation, exactly the same way Zuatania dead.

“The one who killed me, and the killer of all the others it is probably the same person.”

“But, my master died a lot of time after your death, while all the others died in a short span of time.”

That was the only thing Tar felt was off in Yale’s theory.

“I can’t remember anything about the one who killed me, but I remember the reasons.”

Yale felt that the Origin Path was the culprit of everything, his death was related to it, and the chances of the same one who had killed him found his friends and killed them were high.

The other possibility was that Zuatania found his killer and tried to avenge him, dying in the process, but as the other experts also died afterward, it would mean that everyone died trying to avenge others. However, after some of them died, it would be strange continue charging towards the killer without a good plan.

Yale was feeling bad due to those guesses; if either of them were true, he had doomed all the other experts of the era.

“Can you tell me those reasons?”

“Sorry, I can’t tell you.”

Seeing Yale’s grieved face, Tar didn’t dare to ask anything more about the topic. Sometimes knowing too much could be harmful.

Yale remained a few minutes in silence until he went back to his normal state.

Yale could remember all that happened while he was in his trance, but he felt that while in a trance the one speaking wasn’t his current self but his past self as he had spoken things he hadn’t known before.

It seemed that a fragment of memories resurfaced thanks to that conversation with Tar.

He put his thoughts in order; he discovered someone who could help him to unlock more of his past life’s memories, the Revgen Empire founder emperor, Revgen.

“Give me a map, the more area it covers, the better. I want to check the current geography.”

Yale still didn’t remember exactly where the Revgen Empire was situated, but given that Zuatania had known Revgen and even tar knew about him, the Revgen Empire should appear in the maps.

Tar took out a map and gave it to Yale.

“I only have information about the current continent, since the past era’s experts died there haven’t been too much contact with other continents and worlds, we have been quite isolated.”

In fact, since the continental war, the continent had almost isolated itself from the outside world. It was only in the last centuries that Trade City started to try rebuilding the connections with other continents.

For people at Tar’s level, traveling to other continents wasn’t difficult, but if they were to leave their countries would be in danger. The number of experts in the continent dropped drastically with the massive death or disappearance of the previous era’s experts.

That map showed the whole continent, the western part was the same Yale had seen in Julie’s map, but he was interested in the rest. The Anpaes Kingdom covered the entire middle section of the continent, but the eastern part was all part of the Revgen Empire.

Yale sighed in relief after he confirmed that he was still on the same continent, crossing the ocean would be far more dangerous than crossing the Anpaes Kingdom.

“I need to see Revgen. I feel that he will have answers to my questions, but with my current strength I can’t reach the Revgen Empire safely.”

Yale couldn’t avoid thinking that, he wanted to return to the Revgen Empire as soon as possible, but he didn’t plan to do it recklessly.

“Senior, if you need any help just say it; I will do anything I can to help you.”

Tar had enough protecting the Zuatania’s Merchant Association; he didn’t have any plans to avenge his master as he didn’t even feel that had possibilities as he was weaker than Zuatania before her death. However, as the same person killed Yale’s past life, it was logical that someday he tried to avenge his own death and in the process, he would also avenge Zuatania and the other experts.

Moreover, Yale was young in body, so he had a lot of space to grow. Tar felt that Yale will someday become strong enough to avenge everyone.

“Then, I won’t restrain myself. I need to reach the expert stage in forging as soon as possible. It may be difficult to explain, but that will boost my speed in increasing my realm.”

Yale felt that without help, he would need years to reach the expert stage, reaching the expert stage while being in the mortal rank was difficult after all.

“This is simple to solve. I will send our best master smith to teach you. Sadly, forging isn’t my forte either, I can teach you, but I am not the best smith in the association.”

If any smith had heard Tar say that, they would kill themselves, Tar was one of the best in the whole Zuatania Republic regarding forging, even if he wasn’t the best, he was still in the top three.

However, Tar wanted the best teacher for Yale, and as the best was one of his subordinates, an order was all he needed to manage to obtain the best teacher for him.

“Thank you. I also want some books about healing spells; my current main healing spell is somewhat special, I would like to learn some of the normal ones in this region to avoid suspicions if someone experienced sees me casting it.”

Tar felt that it was logical, as a reincarnated expert, Yale should have spells that weren’t usual in the current era, a kid using that kind of spells would be suspicious if were found out by an expert.

Yale was safe inside Trade City, but he would need to travel in the future, and a healer identity was always good because any traveling group valued healers. However, Yale wanted to avoid relying too much on Time Healing and also learn other types of healing.
