"Are you... sure you want to know?"
He asked slowly:
"Once you know certain things, you can never forget them. That kind of memory will appear repeatedly in your dreams like poison."
"I'm sure."
Ron's voice was calm and firm:
"Knowledge itself doesn't hurt people, only the misuse of knowledge brings danger. Moreover, avoiding historical lessons often leads to the repetition of tragedy."
Valen gazed at Ron for a moment, as if seeing something familiar in him.
Finally, he sighed deeply and began to recount the past buried for nearly a century:
"At that time, Allen, a witch named Selena Vystra, and I were the outstanding young generation of the Crystal Tower."
His voice became increasingly hoarse:
"We were all eager for higher-level knowledge, especially about transcending life's limits.
In that era, the Void Remains theory was far from being as developed as it is now, and the path to becoming a Great Wizard was filled with the unknown."
