Earth: Robert Berard, Conrad's ancestor, showed up on earth holding his arm in 1798. This sets the arm travelling 202 years prior to 2000. Source: " The Facade of the Lady Is a Disguise!" Chapter 5. (140 years before 1938)

Other world: Paige Berard, Robert’s son and descendants according to the Big Shimaron’s library: Cont. – Berard, acknowledged defeat during the battle at Present-day Dai Shimaron agricultural area Col Nilzon. Survivor Paige Berard confined to May Island in the Kitamibashi ocean (ocean of the Northern Bridge of God). According to a special report, transferred to the royal capital 20 years later and changed family name to Weller. 5 generations confirmed afterwards. Source: "Novel 8 Chapter 7" If Conrad is about 102, and time on earth and the other world go by similarly (as it is implied), then there were 4 generations having children at age 25, before Conrad, which fits the timeline. Since this information is in Big Shimaron’s library, we can gather it was also accessible to Saralegui, explaining why he knew the Weller name before meeting Yuuri.

Chapter 5: “A hundred and forty years ago, one night when the moon was high in the sky, a one-armed man fell from the sky. He held his amputated left arm tightly, his whole body soaked with water and blood.” Questions: Do different keys travel through different means? He was soaked in water, so he touched the water in the other world, but he appeared on earth in the air? 2) The Facade of the Lady Is a Disguise!" Chapter 5: “This is one of the four Keys. It’s the first one, and also the easiest to use, or the easiest to be used.”“…How can this be, wasn’t the Key to the Box pure water…” Fact: The Wind Key was the first to be created according to novel canon. 3) The Facade of the Lady Is a Disguise!" Chapter 5: (Richard ) “I plan on doing a switch, I want to use that… to cut off my left arm, and replace this arm that hasn’t rotted in 140 years with it.” (April )“How is that possible…” (Richard )“I don’t know if I can pull it off, but right now there’s no other choice. Only the Key and its true wielder can control the power released by the opened Box. Right now, the army has ‘Mirror’s Depth’, and I have in my hands the Key to ‘Wind’s End’… You should have heard that as long as it’s something similar to the matching Key, then it too might be able to force the Box open. In that case, this left arm that feels like a toy, can it close the Box too?”
