The carriage sped through the flooded streets of the imperial capital, splashing water.
Aurora sat by the window in the back seat of the carriage, staring blankly at the gray city under the rain outside the window.
The rain flowed down the glass windows, forming tiny grooves.
She has always been the type of iceberg girl. The previous series of emotional outbursts have squeezed the girl's potential, so at this moment, Aurora is even more silent.
"Why are we going to the Night Garden?"
"I want to confirm some conjectures."
"For example... what I experienced before was the real history of five hundred years ago, or was it just a dream?"
"oh."
This was the only conversation that took place between Char and Airola after they boarded the carriage.
...
...
Then she sat by the window and was in a daze, letting Char's hand beside her stroke her hair dishonestly, like a cat that was used to being touched on the head.
Cats only like to be touched on the head by the people closest to them.
And Char was naturally happy about this. He played with the soft and smooth hair between his fingers while concentrating his mental energy in his mind and checking the results on the system panel, which he had never had the chance to check before.
Come to think of it, there was a cat-like girl who accompanied me not long ago.
I just don’t know if there will be a chance for us to meet again in the future.
[Novice Mission: Let Sylvia, the young and immature daughter of the Grand Duke of Cangting, experience betrayal by her loved ones (completed)]
[The remnants of history - "Ancient Cang Ting Kingdom" has been cleared]
[Task rewards have been settled]

…
Char realized it, deep in his soul.
In the originally dark spiritual world, dozens of light spots suddenly lit up.
Those points of light gathered together and emitted a faint starlight, bright and clear, like a nebula, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
Xia could feel that under the shining of those stars, his originally chaotic, empty and extremely illusory spiritual world suddenly became clearer and more stable.
"My mental strength has increased again... plus the insights gained from the previous battle, it seems that breaking through the fourth ring is not too far away."
Char sensed his own mental power and made a judgment.
People are good at intelligence but not strength. As a beastmaster, the main thing is the spirit, or the power of the soul, in order to open up soul contracts and contract pet beasts.
Generally speaking, until one breaks through the fourth ring and becomes a so-called master beastmaster, mental power is merely an illusory and mysterious thing that can only be vaguely perceived but cannot be materialized.
Expanding the newly materialized, extremely small and illusory spiritual world bit by bit until it becomes clear and real is the training process for Beastmasters after the fourth ring.
One of the symbols of a legendary beastmaster is the ability to open up his own broad and vast spiritual ocean.
Xia Ya's spiritual power has always been much beyond that of his peers. He was able to perceive his own spiritual world before he reached the fourth ring. At this moment, with the help of those little starlights, his spiritual world has been condensed a lot. This is already the level of an ordinary five-ring strongman.
This also means that breaking through the fourth and fifth rings will no longer be a big bottleneck for Char.
"Is this the reward for the novice mission, the forty "Sands of Time"? "
Char was pleasantly surprised, as this was a good thing that could directly enhance his potential as a beastmaster.
Although he believed that his qualifications and talents were already excellent, potential was certainly something that one could never have too much of.
Moreover, as the forty tiny star-like sands of time merged into his spiritual world, Xia clearly felt that his affinity with the laws of time and space had also increased.
If he were to enter the "Echoes of History" again, the time he could sustain under the erosion of the long river of time would undoubtedly be longer.
"but--"
"Where are my free experience points? And where are my skill seeds?"
I still have three pets at home that are crying for food. It would be great if I could improve their future potential and affinity with time, but the improvement of their immediate combat effectiveness is also urgent.
Fortunately, Char soon found the answer from the newly expanded system light curtain.

[Note: It's really holy and cup, do you have such a wishing machine? I want to ask? ]
…
It took Xia a long time to take a general look at the dazzling mall list.
All I can say is that Tongzi knows how to make big promises.
Even Char would be jealous of those rare items.
Apart from anything else, just the "Dice of Destiny" alone, Char could instantly think of a lot of ways to use it.
There is also the "Black Cup". Although the description suggests that it is not a good thing, if it can solve the pollution, it will truly be a universal wish-making machine.
The only problem was, he couldn't afford it.
Previously, in order to add some red "Filthy Blood" and "Dark Enchantment", the system should have automatically exchanged "Small Experience Crystals" for him.
As a result, he now only had 29 pieces of Time Sand, which was not enough to buy the "Pegasus Reins".
In fact, Char was quite envious of this item. According to the skill description, it could materialize the fantasy beast "Pegasus". Even if the strength of the materialized fantasy beast was fixed and could not be improved, it was equivalent to having one more soul contract in the early stage.
Fortunately, the Sand of Time in the store seemed to be just a unit of currency, and he didn't really need to exchange it. The number of tiny stars in his spiritual world was still forty, otherwise it would be a huge loss.
Char let out a needy sigh.
Then he shifted his attention away from those high-grade and rare commodities and focused again on those commodities that he could afford.
"A large experience value crystal, worth ten Time Sands, can be exchanged for 110,000 free experience points. It's a profit, but the amount is too large to be practical..."
"A skill seed that allows a pet to create a high-level skill on its own (common), worth three pieces of Time Sand."
"The skill seed I obtained before should be this. No wonder Amaterasu consumed three skill seeds and only reached the quasi-super level in the end."
"And the skill seed (rare) that can create the highest super-level skill is worth ten Time Sands."
"I have to save some to buy experience crystals... which means I can only create two new super-level skills before entering the next mission and obtaining new mission rewards."
"And that skill fusion book. If you really want to use the fusion book and skill seed (rare) together, then you only have enough for one."
Char's eyes swept across them one by one, and then stopped at the top of the mall.
【Weekly Heartwarming Lucky Bag】
[Price: 1 piece]
[Item Description: Randomly obtain any item on sale in the mall. This item can only be purchased once a week]
"Is this system produced by Penguin? Is it so ugly to increase daily activity?"
"You've even learned this kind of thing. Are you going to launch a season pass soon?"
Char complained madly in his mind.
But finally, he was silent for a moment.
Then, choose to buy.
It smells really good.
There is no other way. The cheapest product in the entire mall is worth one Sand of Time, so I won’t lose money no matter what.
And if by some stroke of luck one gets to exchange for those high-rarity items, such as the "Black Cup" or something like that, wouldn't Tongzi be left with nothing?
[You have purchased the "Weekly Heartwarming Lucky Bag", consuming one Time Sand, and the current number of Time Sands remaining: 28]
[You have obtained "Small Experience Value Crystal" *1]
"All right."
Char silently closed the interface of the Sands of Time Mall.
Africans are indeed Africans. No matter how much money they spend, they will never be able to escape from Africa and join Europe.
Forget it, it’s not a loss if I get the guaranteed prize.
You can never have too much free experience points.
After reading the newly opened mall function, Char looked down at the part where the red dots were jumping.
The next moment, lines of new information appeared before Char's eyes.
[Congratulations, based on your performance in the historical echo "Ancient Cang Ting Kingdom"]
[You have obtained a new title——"Blasphemer"]
[You have obtained a new historical legend - "The One Forgotten by Time"]
