Chapter 170: Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (34)

༺ Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (34) ༻

‘The blood of Dragons flows in the Imperial Family’s lineage..’

Regardless of its veracity, such a rumor was known to anyone on the continent. This was because the Imperial Family themselves asserted the matter.

A ‘dragon’ was a wise creature that lived on the surface of the earth in ancient times.

They were the firstborn of the Heavenly God Arus, Guardians of order and balance.

During the Mythological Age, where various races and monsters ran rampant, mankind was weak. This was the reason why the Dragons, the Heavenly God’s representatives and lovers of the weak, stepped in to protect mankind.

So, the Dragons bestowed mankind three Gifts.

The first Gift was Fire.

With the advent of fire, mankind underwent many changes.

They began to cook and were able to endure winters without needing thick fur. Naturally, the frequency of relocating their dwellings to maintain the fire’s embers increased.

Fire also gave birth to metallurgy. Agriculture, which until then had been at a primitive level, flourished due to fire.

The second Gift was writing.

For mankind, who conveyed knowledge through speech and pictures, writing was a revolutionary invention.

All kinds of knowledge were recorded and passed on to subsequent generations, and humans, due to their fragile bodies, decided to use Wisdom as a weapon.

With the advent of writing, mankind finally stood shoulder to shoulder with other races.

The third Gift was Magic.

The origin of all magic techniques in the world were the Dragons.

They, inherently curious, have pursued the truth of the world for a long time, using magic as a means.

Humans who received magic from Dragons evolved it in their own unique way.

From this branching path, the art of Aura Cultivation was created, and several schools, including alchemy, began to flourish.
