When Char opened his eyes again, he saw that the sky outside the window was still dark, with only a faint light at the end of the sky.
It is now just before dawn, the darkest time.
In the dead silence before dawn, you can hear the long breathing sounds in the meditation room in the distance.
After washing the dishes last night, Xiao Ai finally kept her promise and let Xia Ya enjoy the perfect knee pillow in her dream miniskirt in **.
So that night, Xia slept very soundly.
But when Char woke up, there was no one beside him.
All that was left was the folded quilt and the faint sandalwood scent that belonged only to a young girl.
This is Airola's routine. She gets up at 5:30 every day and goes to the meditation room to practice. She has been doing this since she moved to this mansion in the Black Lily District.
Although her origins as Rongomyniad have now been confirmed by the imperial royal family, and her potential to reach the legendary level has been confirmed, Airola's daily practice has not changed at all with this news.
...
...
Char stretched, got up, changed his clothes and washed up.
There were hot sandwiches on the wooden table downstairs, and next to them was a note with beautiful handwriting saying "There is hot milk in the kitchen".
This has always been their tacit understanding. Xia Ya is the best cook, but except for some special holidays, other meals are prepared by Xiao Ai.
It’s not that Char is lazy, but Airola insists on doing so. She gets up early every morning to cook for Char.
At first, her cooking skills were still very unfamiliar, but with the influence of Char, Airola's level has now surpassed that of ordinary chefs, and can even be compared with court chefs.
Char finished his sandwich, drank his milk, and stood up again.
Usually at this time, he would go to the meditation room to accompany Xiao Ai.
Cultivation is secondary. Unlike Xiao Ai, Xia Ya does not rely much on meditation to improve his own realm. He goes to the meditation room mainly to appreciate the beauty of his little wife when she is meditating.
The faint sunlight shining on the side of her face looked very much like the kendo girl kneeling in the dojo in the anime of Char's previous life... Oh no, it was the spear girl. It was a stunning sight.
But today, Xia didn't do that. He returned to the second floor, entered the study, and closed the door.
He lit the magic lamp in the study, then closed his eyes and immersed his consciousness in the spiritual world.
In the dark ocean, there are three bright and spacious small worlds. Little ferrets, little golden monkeys, and a group of red star spirits are sleeping in the three small worlds.
However, outside these three small worlds, there is still a dark space.
This small world clearly exists and has been opened up, but it is clearly filled with some kind of dark substance.
Theoretically speaking, this small world is Char's fourth soul covenant space.
At the Borgia family's engagement party, Char shot Warwick and rejected the Borgia family's marriage proposal. After that, his spirit was fulfilled and he crossed the bottleneck from the third ring to the fourth ring in one fell swoop.
Even from the perspective of mental strength, after the breakthrough, Char's rank is actually very close to the fifth ring.
Theoretically speaking, all Xia needs to do is find an excellent pet to sign a fourth soul contract. Then, with the help of the feedback from the soul contract, he can be promoted to the fifth ring in one fell swoop and become a so-called master beast tamer.
By then, if he was lucky enough and signed a Fifth Soul Contract with a pet of a higher race level, and the feedback from the Fifth Soul Contract was further increased, he would not be far from the Six-Ring Title Level.
A Beastmaster with his own exclusive title is already qualified to be among the top powerful people in the entire Western Continent.
But now, Xia Ya is facing an unprecedented situation, or it can be said that this situation may be unheard of even in the entire extraordinary world.
His fourth soul contract, which he had just opened up and should not have signed a contract with any pet, had been occupied from the moment Xia was promoted to the fourth ring.
Moreover, he was unable to find the source of the possession of his fourth soul.
It's just outrageous.
Xia's thoughts moved slightly, and a light curtain quietly emerged in his mind.
"The Fourth Soul Contract (Char Eggot)"
"Soul Contract Status: Equal Contract (Signed)"
"Contract object name: unknown (authority not met)"
"Species name: unknown (authority not met)"
"Racial level: unknown (authority not met)"
"Battle level: unknown (authority not met)"
It's just outrageous.
It’s only been a few hours since I was promoted to the fourth ring. How come I don’t know when I signed a contract with which pet?
And it’s not a master-servant contract, but an equal contract?
Looking at the lines of text on the system panel, Xia felt speechless.
But soon, he noticed a line of small words below the azure light curtain.
"Warm reminder: After completing the first official mission, the host will unlock more unknown data permissions."
Okay, okay, wait for me here, okay?
Xia looked at this short line of text and fell into deep thought.
Frankly speaking, after completing the novice mission, Char was not planning to undertake his first official mission in the short term.
After all, this system is really a bit unreliable.
The magical novice mission at the beginning tricked him into the historical remnants, which was fine...but the most important thing was that everything in the historical remnants actually came true.
After completing that mission, Char also commissioned the Military Secret Service to collect clues about other historical echoes, but the intelligence collected showed that... the historical echoes triggered by other people were just an ancient secret realm, or a reflection of history.
Among those historical remnants there are treasures, extraordinary materials, holy relics, and even ancient pet eggs... Most of those who are lucky enough to enter can harvest quite rich resources, but that's all.
That is just a reappearance of past history... No one has ever been able to truly travel through time and space to the past and personally interfere in past history.
So, looking back at the novice tasks I went through, it’s a bit terrifying to think about it.
This is the power of putting the cart before the horse.
Of course, the first dungeon that Char experienced actually had a good result...
Not only did he complete the mission and get a lot of rewards, but he also got Sylvia, a white-haired wife who was willing to bury herself for five hundred years just to be reunited with him. But Char did not forget the name of his own Tongzi, and his self-introduction when he was first activated.
【Destiny Villain System】
[So-called human beings are nothing but beasts who cannot sing the praises of life without sacrifice. Ignorant children can only grow up after knowing pain. Only blood and death can water beautiful flowers. 】
[So, let this world feel pain!] 】
Inherently evil stuff.
If he really acted according to the requirements of the mission...the historical echoes of the Cang Ting Principality would actually have been completed when he backstabbed Sylvia.
If it weren't for the fact that Char later, due to some subjective will, used a series of hard work and tricks to clear his name, then what she would have had to face in reality yesterday would not be a search for her husband across time and space, but a search for revenge across time and space...
The style of the Blue Silver Witch will probably become the type like Yuno Agatsuma, with her pretty face stained with blood.
"Brother Xia, I finally found you."
"How can I repay that blow bit by bit?"
"Should I cut it horizontally? Or vertically? Should I start from the head or from the feet first?"
True. Hatchet ending.
Moreover, after completing his revenge on the Borgia family and reuniting with Silvia, Char no longer had such an urgent motivation to become stronger.
Even without the help of the system.
By following the routine for several years or even decades, Char is confident that he can advance to the level of Legend and even surpass the Throne.
but……
After hearing the news about the ancient society "Golden Dawn" hidden behind the scenes... and Isadella's words that the Holy Sword and Holy Lance have revived and troubled times are coming.
There was still a sense of urgency in Xia Ya's heart.
On the surface, the situation around him was very good. The old nobles in the imperial capital were currently leaderless, the Second Princess who had formed an alliance with him and the royal family behind her had the upper hand, and there was also a throne-level Lord of the White Tower by his side.
However, if a disaster comparable to the "Earth of Disaster" period really were to occur, then the current prosperous and peaceful scene would turn into a dream bubble in an instant.
The status of the throne is equivalent to that of a demigod, or an angel... But even if we only talk about the period of the Great Disaster, there were many saints and angels who shed blood.
He closed his eyes calmly and cleared his mind.
After a long time, a decision was made.
"I would rather take more risks and suffer more now."
"I don't want to wait until it's too late and then regret why I didn't work harder."
The next moment, an old mechanical pocket watch appeared in his hand.
【Flashback Pocket Watch】
[Rarity: Purple]
[Category: Disposable Extraordinary Props]
[Price: 15 pieces]
[Description: After use, the holder's current spatial coordinates and status will be recorded. 】
[When used for the second time, or when the host is on the verge of death, the item will be activated, and the host's status and coordinates (including objects and life forms touched by both hands) will be traced back to the record.]
[If activated during Historical Reverberations, the holder will be forced to exit Historical Reverberations and restore to the original state.]
[Note: After using it once, the "Flashback Pocket Watch" will become a "Broken Pocket Watch", which requires spending extraordinary resources of the Time and Space System, or paying ten Time Sands to repair it. 】
This was Char's preparation for the dinner, and it was also the source of his confidence that he could escape with Xiao Ai even if he faced the legend.
However, because of Sylvia's arrival, this flashback pocket watch was saved and can be used at this moment.
The historical remnant of the first official mission, that place called "Esgania", no matter how hard Char searched, he never found any clues.
However, according to the rule that "Historical Echoes" mostly appear in the original ruins, and Char triggered the historical echoes in the Sinful Thorn Club.
It can be roughly inferred that this historical remnant called "Esgania" is likely located in the current imperial capital.
The Foresta Empire was established in the first year of the Holy Calendar, which means that this "Esgania" is most likely the name of a place here in the Old Era before the Holy Calendar.
The history of the old era had long been interrupted, so it was no wonder that Char was unable to collect any information.
Char reached out and pressed the button on the old mechanical pocket watch.
Since "Esgania" has no intelligence, it means that it is impossible to make targeted preparations.
The final boss of the novice mission of the Principality of Cang Ting is a sealed ancient god of twilight, and there is Norton, a peak fifth-level villain. God knows how big the risk of "Esganiya" as a formal mission is.
"We have taken precautions for the worst-case scenario this time. I don't think there will be another case of someone fainting in the bathroom, which worried Xiao Ai."
Feeling the long breathing of the girl in the meditation room in the distance, Char smiled in his heart.
The next moment, his thoughts moved slightly.
[You have entered the remnant of history——"Esgania"]
Char's figure faded rapidly, and then slowly disappeared.
Inside the study, all the surrounding scenery was frozen.
However, in that solidified time and space, there was a pure white figure that never stopped.
Meow--
A white cat gracefully jumped onto the windowsill.
It looked at everything in the study, its silver eyes full of thought.
