When Char regained consciousness, the first thing he noticed was the cold metal ground.
Could it be that I failed to enter the echoes of history and am now still in the ruins of that secret room?
This guess was quickly denied by Char himself because he heard hurried footsteps behind him.
"Char, the time is almost up, aren't you leaving yet?"
This voice was not familiar to Xia Ya, so he probably didn't know the other person.
But it was obvious that the other party knew him.
"Sorry, I was just thinking about something. Excuse me."
Char turned around naturally with an apologetic smile on his face.
In just a few breaths, he had already sensed the soul connection between himself, Shanshan and Yin.
...
...
As a beastmaster, even if he is in an extremely unfamiliar environment, as long as his pet is still there, Char has the confidence to face all the unknowns.
"The family's coming-of-age ceremony is coming up soon. This is a major event that affects our future status in the family. You can't continue to be so muddleheaded."
The man looked about the same age as Char, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a clan emblem on his chest that had a silver-white sword engraved on it.
"The elders are already calling us together. If we are late, there will be consequences..."
As he spoke, there was a hint of fear in the other person's eyes that was hard to conceal.
It seems that this elder is of great importance and has left such a deep psychological trauma on him.
Char's thoughts were stirring, but he didn't show it.
He knew very well that he was now considered half a fake, and that talking less and listening more was the top priority at the moment, so he repeated the other person's words.
"Then let's set off quickly, otherwise if the elders are really angry, the consequences will be disastrous."
The other party wiped the sweat off his face and nodded quickly: "Okay, okay."
In the Grand Duke's residence, in an inconspicuous lobby.
Char randomly found a corner to sit down and glanced at the other people sitting there. There were about seven or eight of them, and their ages were not much different from Char's.
Their clothing and accessories were neither shabby nor luxurious. Apart from their age, their biggest commonality was that they all wore the same clan emblem of a silver-white sword on their chests.
"This family emblem should be the family symbol of the former ruler of the Cangting Principality, Grand Duke Brunstadt."
“I never thought that this ‘echo of history’ could actually achieve an effect similar to time travel.”
"Everyone I meet now feels like a real person, not an illusion or a projection."
Xia made a secret judgment in his heart.
He originally thought that the so-called "echoes of history" might just be the replay and replay of some past historical imprints.
Even if I really enter it, I may just be an observer who can only watch but cannot interfere with any historical process. Otherwise, the grandmother paradox cannot be explained.
But now it seems that this historical remnant of the Principality of Cang Ting is not as simple as he imagined.
Perhaps this place was formed because of some obsession of the strongest, a super-large illusion that is strong enough to be mistaken for the real thing. Or perhaps this is really a fragment of history that has been intercepted.
When it comes to the laws of time and space, Xia has no way of guessing, but no matter what the principle is, he should now be in the Cang Ting Principality which has not yet been destroyed.
Of course, this is undoubtedly good news for Char. After all, if it is really the kind of time travel where one can only see but not touch, then he would naturally have no way to start his favorability mission.
"Fortunately, fortunately, we made it in time."
A voice of relief came from behind Char. "Leonard, relax. Pay attention to your image and be careful not to lose your composure in front of the elders."
Xia frowned slightly and spoke as a reminder.
After his guiding speeches and indirect questions on the way here, Char had quietly gathered enough information to give him a general understanding of the current situation.
As a duchy, the supreme ruler of the Duchy of Cangting is the Grand Duke of Brunstadt.
However, the border of the Principality of Cang Ting was plagued by beast tides, so Grand Duke Brunstadt led his troops to be stationed on the border defense line for a long time. In the Brunstadt family located in the royal city of the principality, most matters were decided by several family elders.
The most powerful among the elders is the Grand Duke's younger brother, Elder Norton, who is currently the acting head of the family.
Char, the young man named Leonard, and all the people present were orphans taken in by Elder Norton on the battlefield in the past. Although they were also considered members of the Brunstadt family, they were not direct descendants.
This meeting at this time was naturally convened by Elder Norton.
"Yes, Char, thanks for your reminder, otherwise I would have embarrassed myself in front of the elders."
Leonard nodded hastily.
"Glad to know." Xia Ya said lightly. He had long discovered that Leonard was terribly afraid of Elder Norton, and he mentioned it at this moment just to take control of the initiative in the conversation.
After laying the groundwork, he calmly raised the issue that concerned him most.
"By the way, how is Sylvia doing lately?"
Char didn't know the specific situation of the Grand Duke's daughter who was the target of the mission, and he wasn't even sure whether she was in the Grand Duke's mansion at the moment, so his questions were vague. Even if Leonard had never heard of the other party's name, there was still room for mediation.
But it was beyond Char's expectation.
Almost immediately after hearing Char's question, Leonard revealed an undisguised look of disgust on his face.
"Her? What else can she be? Of course she's still annoying."
Leonard's eyes flashed with hatred: "If it weren't for her, perhaps the disaster sixteen years ago would not have happened, and we would not have become orphans."
"The disaster sixteen years ago"?
Char sensed big news.
If there wasn't some huge hidden secret, Leonard, an adopted member of another family, probably wouldn't dare to question Silvia, the daughter of the Grand Duke, so blatantly.
However, before Char could put his doubts into action.
Suddenly, from a distance, there were uniform voices of "Hello, Elder".
Xia stood up along with Leonard and greeted him, while at the same time looking at the old man in elegant clothes who was walking slowly towards them in the awe of the crowd.
His demeanor was solemn and he carried a strong aura. It was obvious that he had surpassed the realm of a high-level beastmaster and truly entered the realm of a master-level beastmaster.
What concerned Char more than the strength of the master beastmaster was the faint smell of decay on the body of this powerful elder.
For ordinary people, this faint breath is probably impossible to detect.
However, Char, who had come into close contact with the evil god's relic, could assert that the auras of the two could not be said to be somewhat similar, but could only be said to be exactly the same.
Thinking back to the record in history books that "the Cangting Principality was destroyed by the dusk disaster"
Good job.
My birth point was directly refreshed in the cult’s lair.
