"As the saying goes, three women make a scene, not to mention that there are four of them in my house at once."
In the bedroom, Xia sat down on his soft big bed, feeling a little restless in his heart.
Although the atmosphere was a bit tense, he was still looking forward to the evening.
I just don't know what the final order will be.
Even the weakest contestant, Diris, has already reached the sixth ring, while the others have reached legendary spiritual power.
Even if they had never played that kind of card game before, as long as they had a slight understanding of the rules, they could quickly use their powerful computing power to deduce the optimal solution for various situations, and there would be no gap in experience.
In other words, the biggest factor that determines the outcome of a game is luck.
His mental power was restricted from exploring outside, so Xia calmed his mind and calmed his breathing.
Then, a series of vague magic broadcasts were heard.
...
...
"Ancient ingot knife, wine, fire and killing..."
"Unparalleled, the army takes the lead!"
Bleeding so soon?
I just don’t know which girl in my own fish pond will be the last one to play this night…
However, Xia still forced himself to suppress the heat in his heart.
Before that, he decided to get the important matters settled first.
His mind moved slightly, and the next moment, a small white holy grail was called out.
"My respected master, may I ask how I can be of any use to you this time?"
Before Char could speak, words appeared on the cup of the Sage's Cup.
Xia thought for a moment and said, "Tell me all the information about the little snake with mercury blood flowing in its veins."
He stretched out his hand and drew a few strokes, using magic to depict the appearance of the mercury-colored Ouroboros.
"Master, you actually came into contact with that person?"
Looking at the Ouroboros pattern drawn by Char, Abei couldn't help shaking his head: "But since the master is so great, it's not surprising."
However, as if sensing Char's dissatisfaction with its chatterbox, the body of the Sage's Cup quickly condensed into a brand new self: "As far as I know, it has had many names, "Sacrificial Snake", "Mortal Python"..."
"However, its most famous name is still "Snake of Fate". ”
"This is the name of a god that was famous in the Second and Third Ages... It is said that its authority does not seem to be good at fighting, but is directly related to fate itself."
"It is also with this ability that the Serpent of Fate has been able to seek good fortune and avoid disaster. It is said that it never participated in the God War at the end of the First Epoch. Therefore, it avoided the fate of other gods who participated in the war, either returning to the astral world or falling into the abyss."
"Then, He rose rapidly during the Second Age and the early to middle Third Age when the mythical creatures disappeared due to the God War, and established His own kingdom of God and angel family on earth."
"During the disaster at the end of the Third Epoch, the Serpent of Fate quickly hid itself again. As far as I know, at the end of the Third Epoch, several true gods personally descended to the Western Continent to search for it, but ultimately returned empty-handed."
"And since the Fourth Epoch, even with my connection to the spirit world, I have not been able to find any news about Him from the spirit world."
"Owner……"
The Sage's Cup shook its body: "As an equivalent exchange, please answer the following questions for me——"
"Have you come into contact with the angel family "Mercury Blood" created by the Serpent of Fate? ”
"no."
Xia shook his head. "I seem to have captured His true form, and it is now locked in a space pocket. We are your neighbors."
Prison cup:?
But soon, the Sage's Cup was grabbed by Char and taken back into the small dark room.
After getting the answer he wanted, Xia thought for a moment before taking out the little mercury snake from his space pocket.
"Gu, kill me."
It’s still the familiar lines.
However, this time, Char did not use threats or inducements like before, but just spoke softly.
"I seem to have some misunderstandings with you earlier."
"Because the timing of your appearance was too coincidental, I mistakenly thought that you were in cahoots with the other evil gods of the abyss who were preparing to descend in the imperial capital and harm my second wife."
"But now I have figured it out... From the First Era to now, the Serpent of Fate seems to have never sided with the Abyss, and you have never shown any hostility towards me before."
"In other words, we are not the enemy."
Char's voice was calm.
Although he had the golden title of "God Slayer" on his head, Char was certainly not crazy enough to kill every god he saw.
He had offended the Old God of Dusk before because he wanted to save his wife Sylvia, and then the Lord of Ashes stepped on his head. Shayana's counterattack was purely in self-defense, and the same went for the Vermillion Moon.
Later on, the evil gods on the abyss side had reached the point where they wanted to kill him as soon as possible. Given Char's character, he would naturally not sit and wait for the enemy's conspiracies and tricks to come, but would take the initiative to plan an attack.
However, when facing a god like the Serpent of Fate who is on the neutral side or even the side of order, although the paths they have chosen are different, Char will naturally not blindly become hostile to it.
Otherwise, he should have destroyed the Holy Kingdom and the Church of Dawn by now.
The Serpent of Fate did not participate in the God War in the First Age, which means that it was not opposed to its teacher who was suspected of participating in the war.
The Kingdom of God and the Angel Family established in the Second and Third Ages, regardless of their starting points, at least did bring order and faith to the disaster-stricken land after the end of the War of Gods.
"Since we are not hostile in our stances, I have no reason to continue imprisoning you."
"Besides, you are a person who seeks good fortune and avoids misfortune. Even if I kill you, I won't gain anything. I might even bring bad luck to myself."
"It's just that, if possible, I want to make a deal with you and ask you something..."
"Of course, I'm poor, so this is probably the only thing I can trade that would interest you True Gods."
After Char finished speaking, he took out the Giant King's skull from his space pocket.
This was once the supreme holy object of the Lord of Ashes, but it was sucked away by Yin when he was advancing to a legendary species.
After that, he completed another descent ceremony, helping Char to open up a passage to the long river of history. At this moment, the power inside the Giant King's skull was almost gone, and Char didn't know how much trading value it had.
After doing all this, Xia sat in the bed and waited quietly.
The little mercury snake looked at the Giant King's skull in front of it.
After a long moment, it gently stuck out its tiny snake tongue and hissed again in the ancient language.
"The skull of a demigod mythical creature was transformed into a holy object by the Lord of Ashes..."
“Although there is little power of faith and divinity left, it still has some reference value.”
"Tell me what you want to ask."
Xia thought for a moment and said, "I want to know, after the God War in the First Age...what kind of state is my golden elf teacher in now?"
"I asked the Philosopher's Cup about this, but it was only created at the end of the First Age and cannot know what was discovered before that."
Xia's words made the little mercury snake slightly stunned.
It widened its yellow snake eyes and said, "You said... the Sage's Cup, and the Golden Elves?"
Char nodded: "Well, I recovered the Holy Grail of Knowledge for my own use."
“And Hathaway Zekin, the ‘Eternal Page’ of the Black Tower, is my teacher. ”
“Without the help of my teacher, I would not be able to get to where I am today.”
His fingertips tapped lightly, revealing a hint of Hathaway's scent.
This is a question that Char has been concerned about for a long time.
Originally, he thought that his master simply had a habit of going out and wandering around on a daily basis. He spent years traveling in plane rifts and dimensional voids, and might not return to the main material plane for decades.
However, ever since he asked his master for help once during the remnants of Esgania's history a thousand years ago, Char realized that something was wrong.
The reason why the golden elf teacher of his family never returned to the main material plane and wandered in the astral realm did not seem to be because of his love for fun.
On the contrary, it feels more like being exiled at some level of rules.
Later, when Char was promoted to the legendary throne in the Garden of Eden, his spiritual power was sublimated to perfection and turned into a spiritual ocean. He could overlook his soul and mind from a higher dimension.
He became more certain of this judgment by examining his past memories.
The golden elf wizard who accepted him as his only disciple outside the main tower of the Black Tower when he was young was not actually his real self.
On the contrary, it was more like some kind of projection or illusion, but Char at the time was unable to see through it.
in other words--
I don’t know how long ago it started, maybe one era, maybe three eras.
The real body of the golden elf girl has actually been wandering in the deepest part of the void of that dimension.
Only occasionally, when the barrier between the astral plane and the main material plane fades, can she briefly interfere with the real world.
In the darkness and nothingness that lasted for three full epochs... and for thousands and tens of thousands of years, in just a moment, I felt the light that belonged to the human world.
However, whenever Char asked Hathaway about it, the golden elf girl would cleverly avoid the topic and was unwilling to talk to Char.
Hearing Xia Ya's sincere statement.
The mercury snake stared at him blankly, its clear yellow pupils shrinking into nothingness little by little.
"That... the only disciple of the Golden Elf."
"Besides, that annoying fake cup has recognized you as its master."
At this moment, he finally had a vague premonition.
Why was it that I had always been so dependent on my destiny, which had never gone wrong...
This time, however, she would be reborn in front of this black-haired, black-eyed young man.
Destiny can never go wrong.
All the gifts from fate have already been secretly marked with a price.
"I agree to make the deal."
"But I don't need the skull of the giant king."
The mercury snake stared at Char and said, "As a bargaining chip, I want to sign a contract with you."
"contract?"
Char raised his eyebrows: "I'm not interested in selling my soul." In the extraordinary world, there have always been cases where those who are blinded by profit choose to make contracts with the demons and evil gods of the abyss for various reasons.
The final outcome of these people is often quite miserable.
For example, Viscount Lori, the previous owner of the "Thorns of Sin" club, had signed an equal contract with a certain abyss demon.
Then, as everyone knows, he was tricked by the devil and successfully made his head explode in the roulette game with Char.
"No, it's not an equal contract, but a master-servant contract of the highest binding force."
The Mercury Snake's gaze was scorching.
"The Lord is for you, and the followers are for me."
After hearing the other party's answer, Xia's eyes suddenly became deep.
Master-slave contract.
It is the highest level and most binding master-servant contract, and it is no joke.
This means ignoring the difference in rank and mental strength between each other... As the Master's contractor, they have absolute control over their Servants and cannot betray them.
The Lord died and followed death.
At any time, Char only needs to say "Kill yourself, Lancer," and Mercury Snake, as his servant, will have to stab himself to death with a gun, with no limit on the number of times he can give the order.
Because of this, most beastmasters would choose to raise their pets from cubs or pet eggs... because in most cases, mature pets would not sign a master-servant contract with strangers.
Even so, the master-servant contract signed by Char and Silver, Gilgamesh, and Red was not a master-servant contract of the highest level of binding force.
Xia looked at the mercury snake in front of him and asked, "Why did you sign a master-servant contract with me?"
He now has a lot of vacancies in his soul contract, except for Augustina's abnormal fourth soul contract -
His sixth and seventh soul contracts are still empty at this moment.
The soul covenant space of the sixth soul covenant is now occupied by a certain lickspittle cup, and it seems that he has no intention of leaving.
However, the seventh soul covenant he newly opened was completely ownerless.
This is mainly because Char currently does not have a suitable soul contract target.
With Char's current status, the cost of contracting those emperor-level cubs and pet eggs for training is too high. And to be honest, even if ordinary emperor-level pets are trained to the peak of the emperor level, the help they can bring to Char is actually very limited.
As for legendary pets, they are too rare. Even a complete legendary beast king is hard to come by for most beastmasters, not to mention the chance to contract a larval legendary pet or a legendary pet egg.
Even for giants on the Western Continent like the Fresta Empire, the Holy Church, and the Alliance of Princes, even if they put all their national strength into it, the pets they could only cultivate were at the peak of the Emperor level.
As for the last small step from the peak of the Emperor Rank to the Legend Rank - the so-called legend does not require external force, and the same is true for pets.
This is an extremely difficult chasm that can only be overcome with time and chance. For example, Isadella's crowned griffin relied on massive resources in the fantasy zone and worked hard for hundreds of years before taking this final step.
No matter how bad the Serpent of Fate is at fighting, and no matter how bad its condition is after being resurrected, it is, after all, the status of a complete true God.
Since this little snake dared to mention it, Xia dared to sign it.
"Because this is a big gamble, and it is also my investment."
"This is an investment that will allow me to survive the Fourth Epoch."
The little mercury snake spit out its tiny tongue and wrapped it around Char's finger: "As a token of sincerity, I can answer your question first."
"Your guess is correct. Your golden elf teacher has indeed been exiled to the deepest part of the astral realm and cannot return."
"And all of this originated from the war between gods at the end of the First Age."
"I did not participate in that war between gods, so I have no way of knowing the details."
"But if you want your teacher to return from three epochs of exile, there is only one way..."
…
The bright moonlight shines through the window and falls onto the white bed.
Xia slowly opened his eyes.
[Racial name: Mercury Snake (only)]
[Soul Contract Status: Seventh Soul Contract (Master-Servant Contract: Char Eggot)]
[Battle Level: 5]
[Racial level: Mythical species]
[Pet skills: Wheel of Fortune (mythical skill), Fate Rewind (mythical skill)]
The contract process went even smoother than Char had imagined, without any problems.
Looking at the azure light curtain appearing before his eyes, Char's gaze fell on the "Combat Level: 5".
5?
6
This is the combat level of the awakened pet.
To put it in perspective, it is not much stronger than a big rooster. Considering the species restraint, it may even be killed by a single person.
The Mercury Snake, who had just completed the contract and felt much closer to Char because of the master-servant contract, was slightly stunned.
He noticed a hint of pity in his new master's gaze, and looked bewildered as Xia touched his snake head.
"That is to say, if I hadn't taken you away, you might have been snatched away by a passing eagle and become a meal."
"Poor Zhanwu Snake."
?
I am a mythical creature, and this is the first time in my life that I have encountered such an insult!
Moreover, what does it mean to be carried away and eaten by an eagle? Do you understand the value of controlling your destiny? The eagle can't even see you!
Xia played with the mercury snake in his hands for a while, and was about to take a closer look at the functions of the two pet skills.
But then, Char heard the sound of high heels stepping on the stairs from bottom to top.
So fast?
Xia was slightly stunned, and threw the indignant Fate Snake back into his soul contract space, and added many perception seals to create a new small black room.
But speaking of it, when he was talking to the mercury snake just now, he did vaguely hear the broadcast sounds coming from the living room, "Crazy Massacre", "Hero of Ceylon, Undefeated in Troubled Times", "Hmph, White Tower, she will never return", and "Anyone who invades the territory of the empire will be struck and defeated."
I just don’t know which girl in my fish pond has used some magical cheat.
Xia's confusion did not last long, because soon after, the footsteps stopped at the door.
Then, Char saw the smiling silver-haired Queen and the Succubus Princess following behind her obediently.
Then, Xia immediately understood the result of the game.
It seems that my childhood sweetheart from the north eventually became a loser under the knife of "Pojun".
Isadella crossed her arms across her chest, looking down at Char who was lying on the bed, with a faint curve on her beautiful face.
"Sorry for the wait."
Behind Isadella, Diris also sat down obediently at the head of the bed.
The lavender light flowed and lingered around Diris.
When the light faded, the student council president who looked well-behaved and calm had changed his appearance.
The bright moonlight shines through the window and onto her face, making her look both pure and charming.
However, what caught her most attention were the slightly protruding white horns among her hair.
There are also the black wings extending from the well-defined back, flapping slightly, and the heart-shaped tail swaying in the moonlight.
The next moment, a magnificent and dreamy illusion, along with the peach-colored mist, filled the room.
In the gorgeous peach-colored mist, the new Empress of the Empire sat on Char's body in a riding position, staring straight into his eyes.
"I know that I am indeed far behind Xiao Ai. I knew you, encountered you later than her, and fell in love with you later than her."
"Even if it's a romance in the remnants of history, Miss Sylvia was earlier than me."
"But that's why I'm even more upset."
She lowered her head slightly, and her soft hair caressed Charles' cheek.
"In my life, I have never been inferior to others."
"Whether it's cultivation, politics, military affairs... or pursuing love, it's all the same."
"Since I have never left my mark in your past memories."
"Then what I have to do is to create more memories that belong only to you and me in the days ahead."
The warm air was breathed on Charles' neck, bringing a slight tingle.
"So, are you ready?"
"My black knight, my sword bearer..."
"And my husband."
Feeling the soft touch on his chest, Xia closed his eyes slightly, feeling the emotions and thoughts running through his heart.
It was still a dream created by the Succubus Queen...
But this time, the person next to me is not fake, but real.
“It’s really a dream come true.”
Xia smiled.
Then, following the most primitive impulse deep in my heart——
In the diffused gorgeous peach-colored mist, he embraced the silver-haired girl in front of him.
"King, I want you."
Char felt the empress in his arms nod slightly.
"good."
The night is late...
