746. Nobody Knows_1

At the moment the Magic Network was constructed, everyone in the Night Country heard a thunderous roar.

The mages noticed that silk-like threads, seemingly tangible and made of light, were emanating from their own chests and extending towards the infinite heights of the sky, where they tangled together midway to form a vast web.

In their consciousness, a fire appeared amid the dark and gloomy night sky, like a pale sun, bringing a weak light to the land.

Some knowledge emerged in their minds, it was a contract.

This contract promised uncontaminated knowledge and power, but it also demanded sacrifice and payment.

Some mages hesitated, others accepted gladly, while others were utterly bewildered.

Yet still, some chose to accept.

They might have been wretched souls tormented by pollution, with little time to live, or idealists with noble aspirations, determined to save this world, or perhaps they simply wanted to cling to the last sliver of hope in this dark and desperate world.
