Combining the explanations from Liana and Nangong Nayue, Ai Li finally figured out what was going on.

"That is to say, the man named Zaharias believed that the Fourth True Ancestor was sleeping in my body, so he came to Genshin Island to hold a banquet, so that the Fourth True Ancestor in my body could awaken, and then let the Xiongnu worship the Fourth True Ancestor as their king, so that the surrounding countries could recognize their independent territory..."

After figuring out the whole thing, Ellie was completely in disbelief.

"Where does that man named Zaharias get the confidence that he can negotiate a deal with the Fourth True Ancestor?"

Even if you have never seen the Fourth True Ancestor in person, you should know from the legends about her that she is definitely not an easy person to deal with. The legendary Fourth True Ancestor is the world's strongest vampire without any blood relatives. She is the only and aloof vampire who appears at every turning point in history, bringing massacre and destruction to the world... In fact, based on the information Ellie obtained from her personal exchanges and battles with her, she is almost the same character.

Even if the fourth true ancestor was not dead, assuming that the man named Zaharias really woke her up, Ellie believed that he would slap him to death after waking up.

Never mind. None of this matters.

What’s important is…

"You should know that I killed the Fourth True Ancestor."

Ai Li looked at Nangong Nayue curiously, and the latter shook her head.

"I did see it with my own eyes, but common sense shows that no one would believe this. In fact, after I reported it to the higher-ups, most of them believed that the Fourth True Ancestor had just awakened, his strength had greatly decreased, and he fell into a deep sleep after being defeated..."

"Well... this is understandable..."

Ellie was not surprised. After all, this kind of thing was incredible. Especially after understanding the setting of this world, she could understand that no one believed that a little girl of only eleven or twelve years old could kill a legendary extremely powerful vampire. The inherent accumulation time of both parties was not equal. According to the "knowledge" of this world, the best explanation was that the fourth primogenitor fell into a deep sleep after being defeated.

After all, no one would have thought that there was a time dragon behind that 11 or 12-year-old girl...

It can be said that now, except for Ellie herself who is very sure that the Fourth True Ancestor is dead, everyone else in the world probably believes that the Fourth True Ancestor is currently sleeping in her body.

Foolish mortals always use their shallow wisdom to understand things that they cannot understand. Forget it...it doesn’t matter.

"I understand. I will take care of this matter. But Natsuki-chan, I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on Nagisa."

"Oh? Is that okay?"

"No problem. I also want to see what tricks those guys are up to. However, from what I know, guys of this level will basically use some despicable means to achieve their goals. In order to avoid being disgusted, I still ask for your help."

"You really are unwavering."

Looking at Ai Li with a smile on her face, Na Yue sighed instead.

"Is this really okay? I was hoping you could live a more normal life."

"That would be risky, right? Rather than being dragged into a situation without knowing anything, it's better to take control of the situation yourself, isn't it?"

Ai Li shook her head. To be honest, she didn't understand the stupid logic in many Japanese settings. For example, a protagonist had a powerful power in his body or some terrible existence was sleeping, but the people on her side didn't help him understand and figure out his situation. Instead, they let him spend every day in confusion, under the euphemism of "I hope you can enjoy a peaceful and ordinary daily life."

The price is that when the crisis strikes, the protagonist is like a dumb goose who knows nothing. He is completely in the dark and doesn't understand what is happening. He goes with the flow like a mentally retarded person and performs worse than a pig. In the end, he relies on the protagonist's halo to turn the situation around.

What’s so cool about this?

Ai Li simply didn't understand what was so interesting about this kind of logic and routine; she just thought it was stupid.

"What you said makes sense..."

After hearing Ai Li's answer, Nangong Nayue was silent for a moment.

"I see. So you better be careful."

For Ellie, this news did not make her have any special thoughts. If the man named Zaharias really dared to come to her, she would give him a big surprise.

Soon, Airi's peaceful day came to an end. Today, she did not ride the broom, but went home with her sister. After all, it was her sister's first day at school, and she wanted to hear about Nagisa. Nagisa was also very excited. Along the way, he kept telling Airi about what happened today, including what kind of people her classmates were, what kind of people her teachers were, and what she did today. It can be seen that Nagisa seemed to be very happy.

"You look very happy."

"Of course, sister."

Hearing Airi's question, Nagisa smiled and hugged her arms.

"Because my sister and I are in the same school starting this year, I can see you anytime and anywhere in the future."

"But it's only this year. Next year I'll be in high school."

"Wow... How about you repeat the grade, sister? You don't look like a third-year student anyway."

"Are you serious about that?"

As she spoke, Airi reached out and grabbed Nagisa's ears, causing the latter to scream in pain.

"It hurts so much, sister, please let go, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong..."

"It's good that you know you're wrong. If you want to be with me, there are other ways, right?"

"Hey? What can we do?"

"You just need to skip a grade."

Facing Nagisa's puzzled look, Airi spoke with a smile.

"I can help you with your studies and make sure you can keep up with the third grade curriculum. As long as you work hard for a year, you can go to high school with me, okay?"

"Well……"

Hearing this, Nagisa's expression suddenly turned ugly.

"This...sister...this..."

"Okay, enough with the jokes."

After patting Nagisa's head, Airi turned her head and looked forward, then stopped.

"Looks like we have a visitor."

"Why?"

Hearing what Airi said, Nagisa also looked forward, and found that there were several men in black suits standing at the end of the street in front of them. They were standing on both sides, showing a kind of terrifying momentum that made people unable to get close. In the middle of this group of black-clad men stood a thin middle-aged man, who was wearing a black suit and dressed like a circus owner.

However, the one that Ai Li was most concerned about was the girl standing behind the middle-aged man. She looked almost exactly like the fourth true ancestor that Ai Li had killed before. The only difference was their hairstyle. The fourth true ancestor had straight long blond hair, while the blond girl in front of them had wavy curls.

"Sister...sister?"

Nagisa leaned behind Ai Li somewhat uneasily. Although she didn't know who these people were, she could tell from their appearance that they had no good intentions.

Then, the middle-aged man walked towards Ellie while stroking his goatee.

"Hello, Silver Witch, I'm sorry to bother you at this time. Could you please talk to me for a moment?"

"sure."

In response to the middle-aged man's invitation, Airi nodded, and upon hearing her answer, Nagisa pulled Airi's sleeve nervously.

"elder sister?"

"Don't worry, Nagisa, you go back to school now, and then go find teacher Nangong Nayue on the fifth floor... Got it?"

“Ah… um…”

Although she felt a little uneasy, Nagisa nodded obediently. Then she looked at the men in black warily again, then turned and left.

After watching Nagisa's back disappear, Ai Li turned around and looked helplessly at the middle-aged man in front of her.

"Can you please not make such a big scene when you come to see me? What if I scare my sister? Even if you can't scare my sister, it's not good to scare the flowers and plants."

"How rude."

The middle-aged man bowed once again in a pretentious manner, but Ellie was obviously not interested in chatting with him.

"You must be Zaharias."

"Oh? I didn't expect the Silver Witch to know my name."

"Because someone told me about you, so what do you want to do by coming to see me?"

"In that case, I think you should understand why I'm here, Miss Ellie."

As he spoke, the man named Zaharias stretched out his right hand and made an invitation gesture.

"I came to you for only one purpose, and that is to invite you to participate in the Flame Feast held by me as the Emperor's Chosen One, and complete the final awakening of the Fourth True Ancestor."

At this point, Zaharias stared at the girl in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Everything was under his control at the moment, and he was confident enough that no matter what the other party wanted to do, he would give the girl an invitation that she could not refuse...

However, as Zaharias watched, Ally simply nodded.

"OK."

"……Why?"

Faced with Ellie's straightforward answer, Zaharias was stunned.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Ellie folded her arms and looked at Zaharias with a grin.

"Don't you want to awaken the Fourth True Ancestor as soon as possible? Then let's go. I want to see what you want to do."

“…”

Facing Ellie's answer, Zaharias seemed a little confused. He knew that the soul of the fourth primogenitor was sleeping in the girl's body. If the fourth primogenitor woke up, the girl would no longer exist. Because of this, Zaharias made a lot of preparations to ensure that the other party would attend the "Flame Feast". But what Zaharias didn't expect was that the girl in front of him not only didn't resist or feel uneasy, but agreed very happily?

What's going on? Is there some conspiracy?

Of course, Zaharias didn't know that what was sleeping in the girl's body was not the soul of the Fourth True Ancestor, but power - her soul had been completely destroyed by Fang Zheng, the manipulator of Ai Li, but this power had never been used. If the ritual performed by this man named Zaharias was to awaken the power of the Fourth True Ancestor sleeping in her body, then Ai Li naturally had no intention of stopping it.

Who doesn't want to be stronger?

"I see."

Although he felt a little uneasy deep down, Zaharias suppressed his doubts, smiled, and extended his hand to Ellie.

"Then please follow me, Silver Witch."
