The warriors and the mages have fundamentally different pursuits.

The ultimate goal of a warrior is simply to acquire more power, while most mages are more focused on exploring the mysteries of the world rather than just seeking power.

That's why so many mages are requesting to join after hearing the name of the legendary mage clan known as "Hister".

To the mages who know what "Record Magic" is, the existence of Hister is itself the key to the culmination of mysteries.

Despite the fact that Hister's activities were not as extensive as other prestigious groups and much of its history had been lost, this fact remained unchanged.

Suddenly, Jin thought of Valeria's advertisement board that Golden Peng installed all over the world.

Thinking of the refreshing smile and even a wink in the picture, Jin couldn't help but chuckle.

"Why are you laughing like that?"

"I was reminded of your advertisement picture. Just by looking at the list, it seems like there are well over a hundred applicants."

"These are only among the magical scholars, specifically engineers, and among them, only professors and those with doctoral degrees were selected. There are over two thousand applications."

"Over two thousand? That exceeds my expectations by far."

"And yet, they keep flooding in like the tide."

If Valeria had been a member of the Zipfel clan and the world wasn't as chaotic as it is now, there would have been several times more requests.

"It's not just me; Ms. Luet's existence has also become known. Especially now that she's using the name Hister."

Ever since Jin brought Luet, he didn't bother hiding her existence.

Rather, it was announced that Runcandel was protecting the new survivor of Hister.

There was no need to be concerned about Zipfel's suspicions, and strictly speaking, it wasn't incorrect information either.

Instead of perceiving Valeria's claim as a lie that she was the last survivor, the public responded positively to the emergence of a new record mage.

Of course, Zipfel and Kinzelo are aware of Luet's identity or have speculated about it.

However, Zipfel cannot provoke Jin recklessly, and Kinzelo, on the contrary, is against it.

In particular, Orgal is eagerly anticipating Luet's memories returning, as it would make it easier to find clues about Lokia.

"Among the people written on this paper, is there anyone particularly worth noting?"

"There is one person. Sael Lutberh, that's the name."

"That's a name I've never heard before."

"He is a low-ranking noble from the Palin Kingdom. He's a terminal engineer from the Palin 3rd University, and he's 33 years old."

The Palin 3rd University was not a well-known university among magical engineers.

"If he's on the list of first-class engineers, does he have some special abilities?"

"That's something we'll have to find out from now on. I've seen the story of the Lutberh clan in the succession temples that I've unlocked."

The Lutberh that Valeria saw in the succession temple had once formed a brief alliance with Hister.

However, only the record of the alliance being broken remained, and the details were not confirmed.

Meanwhile, the fact that Lutberh, a figure from Hister's past, had submitted an application intrigued Valeria.

As Valeria explained this information, Jin nodded.

"Since they were once able to form an alliance with Hister to that extent, it's possible that Lutberh's lack of current influence is related to Zipfel."

"I agree with you. My ancestors didn't leave any hostile records about Lutberh. So, before you came, I occasionally asked about Lutberh's identity and now I've found him. Let's go meet him while we're at it."

The two of them rode Red owl and headed to the outskirts of the city where the Palin 3rd University was located.

They simply disguised themselves with Golden Peng cosmetics and quickly found their way to the 3rd University and were able to meet Sael.

"Who are you... You've come to find me?"

"I am Jin Runcandel. This is Valeria Hister."

"Yes?"

As they took off their wigs and quickly wiped off their makeup, Sael's eyes widened in surprise.

"Oh, wow! It's really you!"

Without anyone instructing him, Sael hurriedly locked the door of the lounge and immediately bowed deeply.

"I am Sael Lutberh, who submitted the application. I can't believe you've come to see me personally. Did you come to learn about the history of my family?"

"You should speak first. How did the alliance between Lutberh and Hister come about in the past, and why did it break?"

Sael glanced at Jin and Valeria, assessing their intentions.

"Please speak freely. I will not harm you regardless of what you say."

Valeria also nodded. Even if Lutberh had betrayed Hister in the past, it wouldn't have had a significant impact on the current situation. If that were the case, Zipfel wouldn't have left Lutberh alone until now.

"I understand, Sir Jin. However, what you just said about the past alliance between my clan and Hister... what I know is slightly different."

"How is it different?"

"My late grandfather and my parents used to say something. They said that thanks to Hister, our Lutberh clan survived and that someday we must repay that debt."

"You survived thanks to my clan...?"

Upon hearing Valeria's words, Sael nodded.

"Yes, our Lutberh clan is an ordinary clan. However, in the 14th century, one of our ancestors had a special talent for magical engineering. His name was Zen Lutberh."

Zen Lutberh was also an unfamiliar name to the public.

However, Valeria remembered his name from the succession temple she had unlocked. He was the one who formed an alliance with Hister.

"At that time, it seems that Lord Zen received a request from Hister. It was a request to create a certain object, and I heard that he collaborated with Hister to develop this object for a while."

"Do you know exactly what that object was?"

"That... It's a story that has been passed down in my family like a legend. I've heard that it was an object that enabled long-distance communication."

As soon as they heard those words, Jin and Valeria felt a flash of realization in their minds.

Long-distance communication device.

It was closely related to the "Wavelength Tracing Summon" that Valeria and Qwaul were currently developing. It was a device that had a direct connection to it.

All devices that involved the term "wavelength tracing" were like that.

Currently, Qwaul and Valeria are developing all the related items to free the Plutonian tribe from the dead world, Laprarosa.

One of the results was the red sphere that enabled limited battle god fusion, and another ongoing development was the long-distance communication device.

If direct summoning was difficult, the first step was to create a means to have real-time conversations with Laprarosa.

"To be honest, I always thought of those stories as inflated legends. But seeing how the world is now, it makes me think it might have been real. With the rapid technological advancements happening since the world fell into chaos. And above all, seeing Record Magic firsthand has made me even more certain."

"A long-distance communication device... So you're saying that Hister requested it from your ancestor."

"Yes."

"Is there any more information about it? Whether it was completed, or any technical documents that have been passed down?"

"My grandfather and parents believed that it was completed but hidden somewhere."

"Then there isn't any tangible evidence?"

This time, when Valeria asked, Sael smiled awkwardly.

"Well... There is something like that. It's a paper that Lord Zen left behind, a family heirloom."

Sael said as he took off the pendant hanging around his neck.

Inside the pendant was a folded piece of paper that looked so worn out and stained with fingerprints that it looked like trash.

As Sael unfolded the paper, a series of sentences composed of ciphers were revealed.

And Jin, he had seen the exact same ciphers in the past.

The magic tomb of Schugiel Hister that he obtained from the Tessing Underground Auction House.

Sael's paper was made up of the exact same cipher system as the one written in that magic tome.

Valeria's pupils widened as she read the ciphertext.

"May I take a closer look at it?"

"You may do as you please."

Valeria deciphered the text and found the following contents:

<On May 12th, 1457, with the help of great magical engineer Zen Lutberh, we finally succeeded in developing communication device.< p>

However, since we cannot withstand the enemies who covet this device and its blueprints, we have decided to hide the device in the succession temple of Maliet Hister. There is no other way to prevent the destruction of Zen Lutberh's achievements.

Unfortunately, Zen never had the opportunity to use the completed device even once, and it is distressing that his accomplishments will be forgotten for a long time.

Zen Lutberh graciously agreed to my suggestion, even though it meant parting ways with his family because of us. Ah! Zen, I am grateful once again for your great judgment and sacrifice.

All of Zen Lutberh's knowledge, achievements, soul, and even my own physical body and soul... will remain in the succession temple of Maliet. Until the enemies find it, whenever that may be.

So, to my future successor who reads this letter, find the succession temple of Maliet.

The location of the succession temple of Maliet is left on the back of this letter.

It is a highly notorious succession temple even among the record mages, so be sure to acquire sufficient ability before attempting.>

According to the paper, the communication device that Zen Lutberh had developed with Hister was completed in the 14th century.

Furthermore, Zen had never betrayed Hister, but rather, Hister owed him a great debt.

Valeria calmed her racing heart and carefully examined the paper over and over again.

Then she shared the contents with Jin and Sael.

"...So the family legend was actually true."

"Rather than being a legend, if the contents of this paper are proven to be true, it is I who owe gratitude and repayment to you as Hister."

"Oh no, there's no need for you to think that way. It was the deed of my ancestor, not mine. I just want to work as a member of the Vamel alliance. Even if there were no paper left by my ancestor, I would have submitted an application to the alliance as a magical engineer."

Jin and Valeria nodded, smiling.

Not only did the contractor of the god of architecture suddenly appear, but also first-class magical engineers came forward, and now Hister and Zen's legacies. They were experiencing a series of fortunate events.

"As soon as my investigation in Maleet's succession temple is complete, I will give you a proper reward, Sael. Let's head to Tikan for now."

Upon Valeria's words, Sael jumped up with joy, clearly delighted by the prospect.
