It's like waking up from a dream.
Everything in the dream slowly faded away, and then returned to reality.
Char felt his consciousness gradually detaching from the roaring river of time and space, and then gradually merging into the real material world.
Just now, he felt that he was just a little bit away from being lost in the turbulence of time and space.
Fortunately, at the last moment, it seemed that some force helped him return to the real node of the current timeline.
"Xiao Ai!"
"My little Ai!"
"Do you know how scared I was just now? I almost couldn't come back."
Char reached out and hugged her, only to feel fullness and softness in his hands.
...
...
Given how well he knew Xiao Ai, he was of course well aware of the personality of his childhood sweetheart.
If it were an ordinary day, if I wanted to be intimate, even if Xiao Ai was obviously very moved, due to her proud and awkward personality, she would rarely take the initiative to do anything.
But as long as you act a little pitiful, reveal your weak side, and arouse Xiao Ai's desire to protect you, then the benefits will come to you.
Needless to say, there are kisses and things like that, and maybe you can even hug yourself to a soft and fragrant pillow from a beautiful girl when you sleep.
This was a skill that Xia had practiced himself. After he had been in a coma in the bathroom for three days, Xiao Ai had stayed by his bedside for half a month, feeding him medicine every day in an indescribable way, and taking good care of him until his body gradually got better.
It's so cool.
If it weren't for the incident with the Scarlet Rose Borgia family, Char felt that he could have been taken care of by Xiao Ai on his sickbed for a whole year.
only--
Why does it feel a little bit wrong this time?
It doesn't look like the steel body of his concubine at all. Instead, it looks more like his concubine who has experienced the spirit world.
Xia was stunned for a moment, then he opened his eyes and looked around.
However, the next moment, he heard that ethereal and pleasant voice, like a familiar wind chime, ringing in the ocean of his soul.
"It's okay, Brother Xia."
"It doesn't matter if I recognized the wrong person... Don't be afraid, I will always be by your side."
"Even if you are lost at the end of time, I will bring you back to this real world, just like I did just now."
In the room.
Sylvia, who realized at first that Char had recognized the wrong person, was a little confused and at a loss.
But soon, she lowered her eyes slightly, and couldn't help but raise her hand and gently touch Xia Ya's face.
Then, Sylvia opened her arms and hugged the boy.
I have been forced to be a cat-shaped light bulb for so long, what's wrong with letting myself eat a little?
"In the past, it was you, Brother Char, who saved me from that dark and lightless quagmire."
As she spoke, Sylvia gently held up Char's face.
The breathing, the heartbeat, and the sound of the blood flowing were all so fascinating to Sylvia, they were exactly the same as in her memories.
During the five hundred years and more than one hundred thousand days and nights when she was sealed in the pure white tower, it was with these memories that she kept her soul from decaying and drying up, and from deteriorating.
And at this moment, the figure in his memory appeared vividly in front of him.
So, Sylvia followed the surging emotions rising in her heart and pressed the boy in front of her into the tenderness before her chest.
"And now, it's my turn to protect you, Brother Xia."
"Don't worry... I'm here, no one can hurt you."
"Whether it's a legend, a demigod, a throne, or... a real god."
Char: ...
Char: I can't breathe.
Click.
Click.
Airola's little fist clenched suddenly, making a sound of bones colliding.
The fierce energy cut through all the surrounding furniture, leaving tiny cuts on the tables and chairs.
After a long while, Sylvia gently loosened her arms, freeing Char's face.
Char regained his freedom and slumped on the bed.
Between the wings of the nose, there is still the faint milky...fragrance that belongs only to the Cang Yin Witch.
Damn, legend.
Damn, the throne.
"But before that—"
A faint smile suddenly appeared on Sylvia's delicate and flawless face.
She just stared at Xia's face in silence, with a hint of intoxication and attachment, and light golden words slowly emerged in the void.
“I want to know…”
"Just how great a sin has Char-nii committed?"
"That's why the course of history has been disrupted to this extent."
…
At the end of the horizon, the night sky turned slightly white.
The long night has passed, and a faint glow appears in the distant sky, which is the dawn.
"Later, Vortigern's army melted like ice and snow under the light of the Holy Lance."
"Well, that's about it."
"In short, I did those things out of sympathy for the displaced refugees in that disaster-stricken land."
"Although I did act like a scumbag once before, I really didn't have time to do anything this time."
Xia sat at the table and spoke to Sylvia with a sincere and serious expression.
It is impossible to completely conceal the past.
Our famous detective Xiao Ai's method of solving cases relies on intuition rather than logic. Perhaps only Su Lun can control it.
It can be described as a humanoid self-propelled lie detector and cheating catching machine.
Moreover, the pretense he showed in the Valley of the End was only possible with the help of Xiao Ai's Holy Spear.
God knows whether that thing will report the news to its current owner across time and space.
As for Sylvia, let alone her.
He himself is a personal witness of the remnants of history and the first victim of Char's Trans-Dimensional Sea King behavior. He knows all of Char's tricks very well.
As the throne, he already possesses the ability to initially interfere with history.
Even if I can't say I can see everything that Char did, I can at least guess about 50% to 60% of it.
Therefore, Char took the initiative to confess part of the truth. Of course, it is the kind with the Spring and Autumn style of writing.
The information about the immortal body and system was hidden...
Instead, he briefly mentioned the story of how he, as Cain, worked with the Akatsuki organization to save the world at the end of the old era a thousand years ago.
Actually, there is nothing to hide. It is quite pleasant to brag about how awesome I was a thousand years ago in front of my first and second wives.
Listening to Char's statement, Sylvia's beautiful silver eyes flickered slightly.
The blonde girl next to him was hugging a pillow, also pricked up her ears and listened silently.
Normally, Char wouldn't talk about the echoes of history, and Airola wouldn't ask either. This was a tacit understanding between them.
But this does not mean that she is indifferent to what Char experienced in another time and space.
There has already been a previous conviction by the Lord of the White Tower. If Xia attracts an unknown woman from nowhere next time, she will be in real trouble.
Childhood sweethearts cannot resist the law of heaven's will, and this left a very deep impression on her during this period of time.
Originally, Airola wanted to throw a tantrum about Char's mistaken embrace.
However, when she saw Char's pale and bloodless face, her willfulness turned into heartache.
So although the process was a bit tortuous, Xia still successfully enjoyed Xiao Ai's long leg pillow.
…
"If that were all... I'm afraid it wouldn't have caused such a huge disturbance in the course of history."
Sylvia's delicate brows knitted slightly.
Then, the light golden text began to appear little by little in the void.
"The power of time to correct the inertia of history is extremely strong."
"Even if ordinary thrones and demigods have the ability to go back to past time points to a certain extent...but under the constraints of the inertia of the general trend, what they can do is extremely limited. They can only affect some minor things that have nothing to do with the general trend of history."
"And even so, once they withdraw from the long river of time, their influence will gradually fade under the influence of the historical correction force, and eventually, their interference will be reduced to a negligible level."
"But... this time is different."
"The historical trend of the past has been abruptly reversed."
Char nodded, indeed noting the unusualness of this journey through the remnants of history.
You know, when he entered the historical remnants of the "Cang Ting Ancient Kingdom" before, he entered and exited the historical remnants very smoothly, and had never encountered such a terrifying spatial turbulence as this time.
But when he returned this time, the violent ripples of time almost made him think that he would never be able to come back.
If he were to get lost in the turbulence of time and space, it would be equivalent to being exiled to the end of the dimensional abyss. His immortal body would be of no use and would only increase Char's own suffering in the lonely darkness.
"So, did something unusual happen when we entered the remnant of history this time?"
"But if we really follow what Sylvia said, even a demigod's ability to interfere with time and space is extremely limited..."
"Then I am just a small five-ring master. Even if my methods are beyond ordinary, I can't really make such a big fuss by my own strength."
Char muttered to himself as he pondered.
"Could it be that what I did caused some butterfly effect?"
"When a butterfly flaps its wings on the other side of the sea, the airflow generated is disturbed and amplified, and it can cause a storm on the other side of the sea."
"So... the key now is to first figure out what happened a thousand years ago that led to the birth of this butterfly effect."
Almost at the same time as Char spoke, the blonde girl quickly stood up.
Then, he disappeared out of the door of the hotel room.
This is the tacit understanding between her and Char. Without any verbal communication, Airola knows what Char wants to do and then completes it.
As for Char's safety, although the girl was somewhat reluctant to admit it, since Sylvia was present, it was undoubtedly guaranteed.
Ten minutes later.
Click.
The door was opened.
Airola pushed the door open again.
She walked over with an ordinary book in her hand, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Xia was distant, deep, and extremely meaningful.
She placed the book on the wooden table and said, "Take a look for yourself, Xia-san."
That inexplicable look and the sudden address of "Char-san" gave Char a bad feeling.
He picked up the book, which was titled "A Brief History of Human Countries in the Western Continent".
Can this kind of enlightenment-oriented popular science book on history really contain any actual historical secrets?
Xia was a little confused.
He is at least half an archaeologist. In the past, when he explored various secret materials buried in the dust of history, he had to search and look through the secret libraries of major forces, and he even had to go out and rob tombs himself.
It is actually a very novel experience to gain knowledge from this kind of historical enlightenment reading material aimed at ordinary people.
However, out of trust in Xiao Ai, Xia Ya still opened the book "A Brief History of Human Countries in the Western Continent" and quickly turned to the page where Airola had marked the fold.
"The Scarlet Empire - Foresta Arc"
The Red Empire?
When did the Foresta Empire get such a nickname?
A little doubt arose in Xia Ya's mind, and he quickly looked at the following introduction.
But the next moment.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"The Scarlet Empire of Foresta was founded by the Knight King in the year of the Holy Calendar."
There have been no problems up to this point.
However, the next line.
"Knight King - full name Isadela von Fresberg, formerly known as Artorius"
"At the end of the Old Era, I purged the entire territory of Esgania, defeated the humble king Vortigern, established the Red Empire, ascended to immortality as a human, and ruled the Red Empire until today."
"In the year 302 of the Holy Calendar, the Holy See of the Theocracy declared that the Knight King had an affair with the ancient god of the abyss, Vermillion Moon, in order to seek immortality, and even planned to use forbidden techniques to desecrate the souls of the dead..."
"Since then, the Red Empire and the Holy Kingdom have launched a holy war, and the Order camp has been in chaos, with countless lives lost. This is known in history as the [Hundred Years of Bloody War]."
"Professor Adams, the dean of the History Department of Floren College and an authority in the field of lost history, once spent more than ten years conducting scientific research in the interior of the Scarlet Empire, tracing back to the origins of the ancient times."
"Finally, after an extremely arduous and life-threatening investigation, an astonishing hypothesis was proposed."
"The Knight King's actions, and even the birth of the Crimson Empire... are all because of an old friend of his in Esgania at the end of the Old Era."
"For this discovery, Professor Adams was awarded the title of 'Sage' by the Arcane City."
"And the ancient man of the old era who decided the fate of a country is widely referred to in today's academic circles as:
"【The Man Who Caused Trouble to the Nation】——Cain"
