Chapter 86: Defection
Some say that the Trolian Kingdom is the last kingdom of mankind, a remnant glow of human civilization that has lasted for a thousand years after the end of the Fire Epoch.
Though it once shined brightly, it will eventually extinguish like the dying embers of a fire.
The world is slipping into darkness, just as a stone falls into the abyss.
However, this assertion was strongly opposed by scholars led by Amides.
They believed that beyond this vast world, in the unseen depths of darkness, there must exist other cities of fire like theirs, other civilizations of mankind struggling for survival, just as they were.
Mankind must have hope and will find ways to conquer the seemingly invincible Black Fog.
Whether it's the Jinworth Society, the Mechanical Research Institute, the Ash Diggers, the Eternal Violet, the Non-human Voice of Calier, the Redemption Rose, or the Element Dawn.
