"night……"
Xia looked at his empty fourth soul space and fell into deep thought.
Speaking of which, because one can freely enter the echoes of history and even rewrite past history, it does indeed raise a lot of logical questions.
Leaving aside topics like the Grandmother Paradox, after all, based on the experience of the Echoes of Esgania's History at the end of the Third Age, Char has confirmed that things like the historical correction force and the fantasy belt are real, and many time and space paradoxes can be explained in this way.
However, even among the pets contracted by Char, there are differences.
Xia Ya's third soul, Red, was the pet contracted five hundred years ago in the remnants of the history of the ancient country of Cang Ting.
According to the experience of the Little Silver Spirit, he can freely use the Red Soul Bound Space to bring the remnants of history out and return to the current time node.
Moreover, Chihong's growth also maintains a progress comparable to his own. It will not happen that he goes back five hundred years to the future, while Chihong grows normally for five hundred years and transforms from a newbie into a big boss.
However, that was because the soul contract between Chihong and himself was a master-servant contract.
...
...
The master-servant contract - as the name suggests, the two parties in the contract are led by Char, the beastmaster, so the red party followed him to five hundred years later.
However, the contract signed between Char and Ye was an equal contract that was different from the master-servant contract.
Although if Ye wanted, it could also enter Xia's soul contract space.
In fact, during the period of time when they were together during the remnants of the First Age... the relationship between the Little Dark Dragon and Char was not much different from that between them and other pets that had signed master-servant contracts, such as Silver and Shining.
With Char's strategy of delicious food and rich upbringing, Ye's compatibility and intimacy were quickly improved.
His daily image has also changed from the only offspring of the Ancient Dragon King, a member of the cold and elegant Ancient Dragon royal family... to a silly and cute Husky who is no different from Gin and dozes off on Char's head all day long.
However, the nature of the equal contract means that Char and Ye are actually equal to each other.
It's not like Chihong, where one party is a vassal of the other.
Char is a human from the Fourth Epoch, and Ye is a creature from the First Epoch...
To Char, the journey of the historical echoes of the First Age was just a fragment of his life. He was just a passer-by in that period of history. The reality of the Fourth Age was the down-to-earth reality.
But to Ye, it was indeed a creature of the First Age.
Since there is no constraint of the master-servant contract, and there is no clear subordinate relationship, there will indeed be a situation where two eras are separated between Char and Night.
"My journey in the First Age must come to an end, but not for Ye."
“Even if I leave the Remnant of History, it can still live on its own in the First Era.”
"And the current situation..."
"That is to say, after the First Epoch, Ye continued to grow up alone in the Western Continent..."
"If it was a pet of an ordinary race, then after nearly ten thousand years from the First to the Fourth Epoch... I'm afraid it would have already aged in the years, buried by the knife-like ruthlessness of time."
"After all, even if it is a legendary pet, thousands or even tens of thousands of years is still too long, enough to turn the beast king who looks down on the world into dry bones..."
"Damn, I wasn't paying attention and almost got hit by the iron fist of the "longevity theory". ”
Xia couldn't help but complain in his mind.
"But the night is different."
"It is a descendant of the Lord of the Ancient Dragon King's Court who inherited all the divinity and power. It is a natural mythological race."
"From the perspective of the Mercury Snake, the lifespan of mythical creatures tends to be infinite. For a pure-blooded ancient dragon, thousands of years is really nothing."
Of course, even mythical creatures can fall, for example by being hunted by other mythical creatures and having their divinity devoured.
But if that were really the case, then Char's fourth soul covenant should have been broken long ago.
The backlash to mental strength caused by the breaking of the soul contract is very severe. In severe cases, it is even enough to turn a legendary beastmaster into a vegetable.
However, Char's fourth soul contract was intact at this time, which also showed that Ye should have survived safely and survived from the first era to the fourth era.
"However, since he followed me, Ming Ye should not take the path of becoming a god..."
"He is not a god, but he survived from the First Age to the Fourth Age..."
“Tsk…”
In Xia Ya's mind, a certain guess gradually became clearer and he could no longer ignore it.
It is suspected that he has survived for several epochs, and he did not take the traditional path to becoming a god. Instead, he chose to cross the boundaries of the throne and embark on a completely new path that was different from that of a god.
In the Fourth Epoch, Char knew of only two such beings.
One of them is naturally his Golden Elf Master.
And the other one...
Naturally, it was the master of the Shadow Council——
"Queen of the Night" Augustina.
Moreover, according to the rumors that Char knew.
In fact, Augustina and Hathaway have known each other for a long time and their relationship is like that of best friends...but no one knows why they met.
Think of the Night Dragon and Augustina, who also specialize in the authority of shadows and darkness.
Even the location of the soul contract with Char is the same, the fourth soul contract.
So many facts cannot be explained by coincidence.
"hiss……"
"She clearly told me in the remnants of the history of Esgania in the Third Age that the Third Age was the first time we met and encountered each other."
“And the contract between us was also caused by the “First Embrace” of the vampire ancestor. ”
"When Scarlet Moon was killed and the fantasy belt ended, the "First Embrace" contract that originated from the vampires also lost its effectiveness and will be automatically terminated and will no longer occupy my soul contract. ”
"After all this time... before you became the true ancestor of the blood race, your original race was not human, but ancient dragon, right?"
Char recalled the time when the True Ancestor Hei Ji explained things to him in a serious manner in the thousand-year-old castle of Esgania.
I knew it—
You guys who play with intelligence have dirty hearts.
Each one is like a thousand-layer cake. One piece of information can be split into several parts and sold. It seems that the truth was revealed at the beginning, but in fact, there is a second layer after revealing one layer.
He will never say everything until the very end.
No wonder there is a rumor in the Western Continent that my teacher and Augustina are best friends...
In "Char's Flying House", Hathaway often carried Ye around to play, and they were even together when he gave lectures. She could be considered half a keeper.
In addition, one of them is an ancient dragon and the other is an elf, both are from the three major races of the royal court, and both are survivors of the catastrophe.
How can the relationship be bad?
Xia took a deep breath and calmed the ripples in his heart. If you think about it carefully, the fact that Ye is actually Augustina is not a big deal after all.
In other words, whether he discovers the truth or not has no significant impact on him.
After all, Augustina and the Shadow Council behind her have always been considered Char's staunch allies.
When Guderian was hunted down, it was Augustina who dealt the final blow to the panicked Guderian in the star realm.
Meanwhile, the situation in the imperial capital was turbulent and precarious. While most of the other forces in the Western Continent were waiting and watching, the Shadow Council stood on the side of the royal family, or Char and Isadella, without hesitation.
Originally, Char was a little confused as to why the Shadow Council supported his side so firmly when the situation was still unclear. Augustina even violated the unspoken rule that the Shadow Council always remained neutral in the Western Continent and took the initiative to intervene in that legendary battle.
Now it seems that the inexplicable liking and inclination have been explained.
Although Char still felt a little sad that his originally silly and cute little dragon had turned into a tall and arrogant lady with long legs in the blink of an eye.
He quite liked the cute little night dragon that obeyed his orders.
But after all, it was Char's irresponsibility that came first. He did not take into account the difference in time and space, which made him a hands-off boss.
She was left alone in the First Age, relying on herself to become strong and independent. Now she has transformed into a human and grown into a great figure like the "Queen of the Night"...
He still cares about the friendship we had in the first era, and it is already very good that he has become his steadfast ally.
The two people are in an equal contractual relationship, and there is no such thing as subordination.
Naturally, Char now has no right to put on the airs of a superior master in front of Augustina.
"I just simply feel that... it's so socially awkward."
Xia couldn't help but cover his face.
With Xia's current status, his mental strength has long been powerful. He can easily recall any small thing he has experienced in the past, even down to every detail.
Therefore, Char naturally did not forget the bold words he had spoken when he signed the contract with Ye.
"I will eventually become a dragon rider."
The same sentence, placed in the context of that time, expressed lofty ambitions and heroic spirit.
But - let’s change the context.
This sentence has a completely different meaning.
"Dragon Rider?"
A cold voice sounded behind Xia.
The blonde girl was wearing plain white pajamas. She was standing at the door of the balcony, tilting her head slightly and looking at Char with some doubt.
"Nothing... I just accidentally got killed again. I'm used to it."
"Well, next time you go into the Echoes of History, you have to be more careful and never sign a contract casually."
"Otherwise, if you're not careful, you'll be socially dead, or even get hit by the iron fist of the theory of longevity."
Char waved his hand and walked to Airola's side while yawning.
Then, he put his coat on the other person.
"Why did you come out in just your pajamas? You're not obedient at all..."
"Although it is early autumn, the cold wind is still quite strong in the early morning. What should I do if I catch a cold?"
Feeling the still warm coat being put on her by Char without any explanation, Airola couldn't help but blink her sky-blue eyes.
"Char... the Rungomyniad I contracted has been completely unlocked."
"Well, so?"
"As the holy spear that anchors the world, Longomyniad can give great protection to its chosen contractors - such as immortality and immunity to all diseases..."
"Not to mention the cold wind in the early morning, even if the highest-level curse spell cast by the Black Tower's "Plague Prophet" is used, it is impossible for me to be infected with the disease..."
She was only halfway through her words when she was interrupted by Char.
Char stretched out his hand and placed it on the top of the blonde girl's head, patting her head as usual while feeling the soft touch of her long light golden hair.
"Nonsense, how could I not know this? If a strong person who has surpassed the legendary level can catch a cold from a bit of cold wind, then I think there is no need for the extraordinary people in this world to practice."
"But Xiao Ai, you make me feel bad. Anyway, I just feel uncomfortable."
"So don't do this again, understand?"
Airola looked at Xia with her beautiful sky-blue eyes for a while, and nodded after a long while: "Oh."
"That's right, that's my pretty girl."
Char reluctantly removed his hand from the girl's head and said, "After we finish breakfast in the Eternal Sleep Plane, we will go to the Shadow Council."
"The Shadow Council?"
Airola frowned her delicate brows.
When she heard this word, she felt that her long-buried intuition was triggered again.
"Your visit to the Shadow Council this time, is it related to the Queen of the Night, Augustina?"
"What did you encounter in the remnants of the First Era? Did you come into contact with the Queen of the Night?"
"Xiao Ai, when did your intuition advance again?"
"Excuse me, are you going to advance from "Intuition A+" to "Intuition EX"?
Char suppressed the urge to complain and said calmly, "Nothing, just confirming some things."
"By the way, we will go to the Shadow Council to supplement some intelligence and purchase some extraordinary resources that are not available in the White Tower and the Imperial warehouse."
"That historical reverberation is indeed a bit tricky. I want to prepare for it with all my strength."
Although Char felt that his guess was mostly correct, after all, so many details matched, it was definitely not something that could be explained simply by coincidence.
But after all, that is just speculation, not the truth.
Airola looked at Xia deeply again.
Although Char seemed to be taking it lightly, she knew very well that the more so, the more it meant that the situation Char was facing was quite difficult, and even Char himself was not very sure.
But she did not show her worries.
Because that was Char's decision, and all he could do was to support him unconditionally.
She just nodded again obediently:
"oh."
