The Pathway Of Wisdom-Chapter 41: The Interesting History. Part-2.

There were quite a few interesting legends and myths recorded in that book, but the most surprising was still the fact that this world was on a plane, not a planet.

’I wonder if magic exists in this world too... I don’t feel any unique energy like mana in the air, though, like what’s told in those novels and manga books...’

’Or is it because I don’t have any affinity for it?’

Alex could not find any mention of magic or mana in the books either, so he didn’t think much about it for the time being and started reading his next book.

The next book was the first volume of the history of the Kreimhild nation, which Alex had tried to read before but got distracted by the topic of ’Pathwalkers.’

Now that he was clear about the existence of ’Pathwalkers,’ it was finally time to dig into the history of the Kreimhild nation.

...

According to the book, the Kreimhild nation was founded 516 years ago from the current year.

Currently, it is September in the year 978 of the ’New Dawn’ era, and the Kriemhild empire was founded in August of the year 462.

Which also means that exactly 16 years ago, when Alex was born in the month of August, the nation of Kreimhild had completed its 500 years of reign exactly in that month.

This was also one of the reasons why Alex was tolerated despite being so talentless and useless; the best thing that the previous Alex did in his life was that he was born lucky.

He already had the exact same hair color and eyes as the chosen saint who once helped in founding the nation, but he was born at the exact time when the nation had completed its 500th year of establishment.

It was such a coincidence of various factors that his very birth was considered a gift of the god of wisdom to the nation of Kriemhild.

If not for the fact that Alex destroyed his own popularity and reputation with his own hands, he could have had a chance to aim for the throne with how lucky he was.

Perhaps some noble or general would have supported him if he had managed to maintain the reputation he got around the time of his birth.

’The same kid who was once considered lucky is now considered an unlucky star that everyone avoids...’

Alex’s mother died not too long after giving birth to her, and the attacks of monsters and beasts increased in intensity right after that.

Several other disasters also struck the nation right away, causing everyone to start whispering and saying that Alex was an unlucky child for the nation. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

’Well, if he had somehow become the king... with how immature he was, he would have surely caused a lot of trouble for this nation...’

While reading the book, Alex could not help but sigh and think about the previous Alex, but there was no way to change the past now, so he could only shake his head and continue reading.

’So the first king of this nation was actually a woman... that’s interesting...’

It turned out that the ’saint’ of the God of Wisdom who helped in establishing this nation never became the king himself, as he had devoted himself to the service of his god.

He didn’t care about power and money and was a true saint from the very bottom of his heart.

He was compassionate and kind to everyone and he had insane control over divine power, which he could use for various things like healing, purification, etc.

Before the nation of the Kreimhild ever came to exist, humans were divided into hundreds of small kingdoms that were at war with each other frequently.

But then the threat of monsters and beasts from outside increased over time, and it’s said that quite a few of those ancient kingdoms were destroyed by a very powerful monster.

Many of those small nations were forced to work together; the saint of the god of wisdom brought them together as he became the first one to teach the world the meaning of ’cooperation’ and a ’unified’ human empire!

In that same era, there existed a powerful warrior whose name was Kreimhilde; she was the strongest person of her time, capable of fighting powerful monsters and beasts single-handedly.

She and the saint of the god of wisdom church came together to finally defeat the monstrosity, which had destroyed many other smaller nations and had driven humanity almost to the brink of destruction.

Many ancient texts and artifacts have records of their bravery and how they unified several nations to save all of humanity.

Afterwards they established the nation of Kreimhild, and Kreimhilde became the first ruler of this vast unified nation that protected the entire human race from any and all external threats.

Kreimhilde and the saint of the god of wisdom church eventually married each other, and their descendants went on to become the royal family that still rules the nation of Kreimhild even to this date.

According to the history records, the saint of the god of wisdom and the first ruler, Kreimhilde, both retired from their positions and handed their responsibilities to the younger generation as they left for a new adventure after a hundred years of protecting the nation.

As they were both very powerful Pathwalkers with a very long life span, it is believed that even to this day, they are both out there somewhere exploring the world and adventuring to their heart’s content.

’That’s quite a legend those two love-birds left behind... I wonder if they are still alive...’

’I have read quite a lot of novels and manga and my reader-senses are telling me that these two old legends might actually still be alive... after all, this is what happens in most novels usually...’

’Some random difficulty arises and the old folks start appearing one after another...’

Alex tilted his head as he smiled to himself while thinking these things in his mind.

’Ah, I kind of miss those brain-rot novels and manga now...’
