— Perhaps you already know this, being frequent visitors to the archive, but recently the collection of literature has been expanded to include biographies of the empire's rulers. At first glance, this may not seem particularly relevant to the upcoming task, but... — Alaria gathered her thoughts, trying to better articulate her premonitions, — ...one of the emperors, Raidarck, among other things, was famous as a dragon slayer. There are no guarantees, but there is a chance that a description of his deeds may give us ideas on how to better deal with Despair. Even weakened by the forces of the elements, he is unlikely to be an easy opponent. Unfortunately, the archive only allows the biographies of the rulers to be read in a strictly defined order, which means that it will not be possible to simply look up and read the history of the second emperor — it will take some time. Therefore, in the coming weeks, I plan to spend time in the archive, just like you, in the hope that my suspicions will prove to be correct. Just in case, I wanted to let you know.
-- There is a theory about how he won, but in any case, I am very grateful to you, Alaria! If you are interested in what I mean, then defeating the Dragon King is clearly not a simple task, and no mortal, even one like Emperor Raidarck, could do it without additional supernatural help. Most likely, the Dragon King could only be defeated in the same way that we are planning against Despair, by suppressing the elements. Or perhaps some other divine intervention, or... a simple hostage situation with lesser dragons. But it will be interesting to hear if I was right when you read it.
