"We...welost."It’sdifficulttoadmitthis,butinthefaceofTheKingofUndead’sabsolutepower,allstrategiesandplansbecamejokes.

"Aboutahundredyearslater,allmagerealmsdisappeared,andtheeraoftheknightsbegan."Poincar鑼卻hookhishead.

Whocouldhaveimaginedthattheknights,originallyconsideredasmerecannonfodderonthebattlefieldofthedivineera,easilycreatedbythemagesduringtheirgloriousperiod,wouldeventuallybecomethenewrulersofthecontinent.

"Almostallthepuredivineerabloodlines,exceptintheSiaKingdom,havedisappeared."

"Thepowerofwarlockshasalsobeenaffectedbythedeclineofthemagictideperiod."

"Now,itistheeraofmortals,theeraofscience...Itwassupposedtobelikethis..."Poincar鑼卨ookedpuzzledattheBabylonSkyTowerrisingfromthegroundinfrontofhimandtheundyingmagiciansemergingfromtheUndergroundCemetery.

Itwouldtakeatleastseveralgenerations,thousandsofyearslater,foranewsurgeinmagicalpower.Thisistheconclusionunanimouslyrecognizedbythescholarsoftheempire.

"Indeed,themagicalelementsintheairarestillsoscarce."Dukenodded,agreeingwiththeassessmentofhisdescendants.
