Ellen couldn't help but feel a chill at the thought that the entire world was surrounded by a strange barrier that couldn't be crossed.
'Wait... couldn't be crossed?' She frowned as she realized something, then murmured,
"Then how did we cross it?..."
Even her faint murmur didn't escape Arkanos's ears as he stroked his beard, a habit deeply rooted in him.
"You aren't the first to cross it. Even the first humans when they came here... and the monsters that descended upon the land."
"So perhaps there are special circumstances we don't know about."
Silence filled the room, and Ellen could only stare at the wooden table with distant eyes, but the Emperor's heavy sigh brought her back to reality.
"The winds of change may be closer than we expect."
His voice was so heavy and deep that it made her body tremble.
The two remained silent for a while as Ellen hesitated, not knowing what to say.
