Professor Binns nodded. "Very well! Then I shall tell you about him! In fact, this figure is ancient—or rather, no one can actually prove that he truly existed! Because the era he belonged to is far too distant! He was a contemporary of Merlin!"
Professor Binns continued, "In that era, Merlin encountered a certain individual! The name of this person has been lost to history, but his power was immense! Even Merlin himself almost died at this man's hands! Later, Merlin used his talent as a Dragon Speaker and, with the help of the last dragon, defeated this man! This man was known as the first Dark Lord! After his defeat at Merlin's hands, he vanished without a trace! Many people say he died! Of course, there is also the theory that he went elsewhere to research new magic and make a comeback, but his power is beyond doubt! However, these are all legends! Because no one can confirm that this person actually existed! Perhaps the only one who knows the truth is Merlin! Unfortunately, Merlin disappeared! No one knows where he is, and naturally no one knows the truth of the past. Even I have only learned fragments of it through a few ancient texts!"
Erwin nodded. Others might not be able to prove it, but Erwin knew for a fact that this person truly existed.
