Chapter 4126 — From Pawn to King (Part 1)

“I don’t know why Lady Tyris did that,” Sylpha said, “but the Royals of the Griffon Kingdom have learned the hard way never to dismiss the words of the First Queen.

“From that day on, we searched the Royal Library for any mention of the Black Throne.

“Unfortunately, there wasn’t much to find. The Black Throne appears only in some of the oldest records our archaeologists managed to recover. In those texts, it’s described as an evil mage tower.

“According to the legends, it was created with Forbidden Magic by a mad mage seeking immortality. The tower can supposedly strengthen its enchantments and even grow stronger by feeding on innocents.

“The details vary depending on the source, but the core story is always the same. The mage tries to conquer Mogar until a hero eventually stops him. I know it sounds far-fetched, and if not for Lady Tyris’s warning, I wouldn’t even bring it up.”

“It does sound far-fetched,” Fyrwal said, “but you’re right about one thing, Sylpha. Never ignore a Guardian’s warning. I’ll start researching my people’s archives for more information about the Black Throne.”

“And so will I,” Lotho added. “Even if the Black Throne isn’t the monster the legends describe, we can’t afford to underestimate a mage tower created through Forbidden Magic.”
