After that little exchange between Aster and Sarina, the room fell in silence until Orson finally spoke.


    "The books were full of lies, some of the events written on them are true but the causes and results tend to be quite different".


    Orson sighed before he continued.


    "For example, Valius which supposedly asked his mother to arrange a marriage and got rejected, that part was true but when he started having his "secret" meetings with the princess from Riga, the former queen noticed it and when she confronted her son… he killed her".


    Aster gritted his teeth, he longed for a family all his past life and there were people who had it and didn''t appreciate it, it was infuriating.


    "I don''t want to sound rude, but what does that have to be with the current problems", asked Sarina.


    Orson shook his head.


    "It was just an example and believe me when I say that was one of the lesser evil things done by kings from the past, however let''s go straight to the point, in the memories of Jordan Millefiore the second king, there were a lot of useful information".


    "Of course, he left the crystal when he was exiled so his memories stop there, but before that, it seems like he was working on a way to leave this closed gxy, unlike the other kings since he was skilled in rune mastering, he found that the crystal recorded more than what he wanted to show, so he tried to manipte it and erased some of the records but he got discovered by the librarian of that time".


    "Also, it was due to him that the lineage test was invented… he wasn''t part of the main lineage of the previous king, he usurped the throne, by secretly killing his best friend and cousin, who was the original heir, of course he made it look like an attack from Riga and since there were no other males in the royal family at that time and they needed a king he was chosen".


    Orson was still processing the fact that his eldest ancestor was a scum, although with the pass of the years there were a lot of changes in the lineage, the heirs up to this day always had the blood of the second king even if it was just a bit of it.


    "I saw the bloody fight that the second king started in the session ceremony, that psycho killed nearly a third of the poption of Luonto after being exiled, he beforehand prepared a one-time use killing array… in case he lost, in the memories of the third king I saw the result of that, blood and carnage everywhere, whole cities full of innocent civilians were decimated".


    …


    Silence fell into the room, even Aster was surprised by how crazy the bastard was, "Every family has their skeletons in the closet, but this… this goes beyond that", he thought.


    As if something made a click in his mind, he suddenly got an idea.


    "What happened to the people that died in that disaster… I mean how they died does it mention it or the king saw the corpses maybe?".


    Aster''s sudden interruption made everyone think he might discover something that wasn''t in the memory crystals, Ss answered.


    "What did you discover kid?".


    Aster had a serious expression.


    "You told me that there have been cultivators that surpassed the star vertex realm, but even them couldn''t break the wall that isted this gxy, if the second king lost the fight for supremacy, then I can suppose he wasn''t too skilled in battle, right?".


    Orson nodded.


    "On his memories, he was only an early-stage star vertex realm cultivator, regarding the casualties of that damned killing array… there were a lot of people who didn''t leave anything behind to be buried but why did you ask that?".


    Aster remembered the story of the twins, if the twin eternity lotus is something rare enough for Rya to don''t have any information regard it, then it was easy to guess that the guys that tried to refine Alessia had problems to do it due to theck in their strength, and their solution was using the lives of a lot of people to make up for it.


    "For some reason the second king wanted to leave this ce by all means, rune masters have the option to surpass their own limitations using talismans and spirit arrays, the problem is that the energy needed for that is not easy to find, also that bastard was quite cunning, so my theory is that, the killing array purpose wasn''t a petty revenge but… gathering the "materials" needed for his escape".


    Ss clenched his fists


    "If that was the case then… he was a freaking evil cultivator!!! To think he dared to use the lives of his own people".


    Sarina frowned her eyebrows.


    "Orson, was there anything regarding the first king on the memories of the other kings, because we read all the books and no one wrote anything about him?".


    The wall that prevented them to leave this gxy has supposedly been there since the beginning of the foundation of Luonto, so if someone had more information about it, it had to be the first king.


    Orson shook his head.


    "No, no one knew anything about the first king, besides the story of the golden knight, there is basically none other information from his epoch, but there were some holes in the memory crystal of the second king, at this point it wouldn''t surprise me if he discovered something but erased it to not leave any traces behind".


    Aster sighed.


    "So basically, the next step hasn''t changed at all, we need to go to that hidden chamber".


    He frowned his eyebrows.


    "Speaking of that, how old is the current gatekeeper… maybe he knows something else about this whole situation?".


    Ss doubted for a moment.


    "That guy is the one that has lived the most in the whole Luonto continent, if my memory doesn''t fail me, he has been the gatekeeper for more than five generations of kings".


    A star tribtion cultivator has a lifespan of over five hundred thousand years, so taking that into ount Aster calcted that he was around when thest king that disappeared was still in his mandate.


    He turned to see Orson, and spoke.


    "Can you order him to answer your questions?".


    The king contemted things, but he finally nodded.


    "Normally I wouldn''t dare to demand anything from him, but since this is a world… no a gxy level possible crisis, he will have to answer anything we ask".


    Aster stood up followed by Alice and to everyone but Ss''s surprise, Sarina also did it.


    "Let''s go then, something about all this gives me a bad premonition, but there is also a good thing".


    Everyone was a bit confused by Aster''s words, "what could be good in all this mess", they thought.


    Aster smiled before continuing.


    "Now that we all agree the second king was a piece of trash… then I can happily destroy his grave when I find it hahaha".


    …


    The silence was broke due to Ssughing.


    "Well said kid, hahaha, once this is over, we need to find where did that guy dropped dead and burn it to the ground, only that might lessen the anger I''m feeling right now".


    Sarina saw her father and her future husband bothughing like madmen and she mentally sighed, "the heavens create them and theye together".


    Orson was a but confused, although the second kingpletely deserves not having a peaceful death, he couldn''t understand why Aster seemed to hate him so much, since he is not a native of Luonto after all.


    So far, only Sarina, Kana and Ss knew that Aster and Alice came through a portal from another gxy, although they had their suspicions, due to Riga getting "guests" from outside of the wall, it''s still a supposition for them.


    It was something that needed to be confirmed so Orson decided to ask what was in his mind.


    "Aster… you and your sistere from outside of the wall like those guys that are helping Riga, right?".


    The other members of the royal court with the exception of Ss focused their attention on Aster and Alice, but contrary to what they expected they weren''t nervous nor surprised for being discovered, Aster simply shrugged.


    "At this point there is no need to hide it, wee from another gxy… well it would be more urate to say that wee from another star cluster and probably even another ster system".


    "But we aren''t in the same "team" as those guys that are with Riga, they are from a ce called the sand mountain sect, and their hobby is to invade other star clusters get their resources and enve the natives, I have a friend from another force which is more or less in the same level as them but they are the ones that are currently protecting the star cluster where I was born, and I came here with him".


    The librarian didn''t bother to feign being friendly.


    "Why should we trust you then… ording to what you said, you probably also came here looking for our resources".


    Ss wanted to interfere but Aster stopped him, before saying.


    "Because you don''t have other option anyway, if I wanted to plunder this there is no one that could stop me, and that includes all the presents in this room… maybe that old man who you say is the gatekeeper will be a problem but it''s nothing I can''t handle to be honest".


    He directly looked at Orson when he added.


    "That being said, due to certain circumstances, Luonto has now be a ce I like, so there is no need to worry about me having any ill intentions towards it, if anything I would like help to see if you can find anything from a list of materials I have been looking for", he said before taking out a piece of paper from his spatial ring and handing it to Ss.


    Aster saw Sarina and he smiled.


    "Regardless of that I still have many reasons to offer my help, that asshole second king yed a trick on me before, and he will pay for it whether he is alive or not".


    Although Aster didn''t mention it, it was clear for Sarina that Kana and her were also a reason for which he was willing to help Luonto.
