Chapter 8: The Echoes of History, Char's Second Soul Agreement



Amid the huge roar, the entire secret room and even the ruins outside the secret room were shaking.

Fortunately, the ruins of this ancient country are located in the gray hills where there is no village in front and no shop behind. If it had erupted in the city, it would probably cause panic among the people about natural disasters such as earthquakes.

Xia was still standing in the center of the secret room, with the accumulated dust falling beside him.

But his eyes were always fixed on the bronze platform.

The red light from the stone sculpture shone brightly, illuminating the entire secret room clearly.

After a long time, the red glow slowly faded, and the surrounding roar gradually faded.

Although the appearance of the stone sculpture had not changed at all, Xia could feel that the filthy and dead atmosphere that had lingered on the stone sculpture had disappeared.

The stone carvings nowadays are no longer the evil and magical evil god pollutants they once were, but just ordinary stone handicrafts.

Instead, on the bronze platform, twisted rays of light converged into something that looked like a door.

...

...

The little snow ferret opened its delicate ruby ​​eyes on Char's left shoulder and looked curiously at the door summoned by Char.

As a master of high-level illusions, Yin could clearly perceive that the distorted door in front of him was not a trick of light refraction, visual dislocation or the like.

Rather, there really was a crack in the laws of space in that area, and even light would be distorted when passing through that area.

Char stared at the twisted door, feeling an uncontrollable excitement rising in his heart.

"The echoes of history".

Or "echoes of history", "fragments of time", "remnants of the long river of time".

So many nouns are used to describe this extraordinary phenomenon happening at this moment.

This extraordinary phenomenon is extremely rare and even directly involves the laws of time and space.

Even if ordinary people hear about it by chance, they will just treat it as an urban legend and ignore it.

Even those powerful people who are at the legendary level have no clear conclusion about this extraordinary phenomenon.

The current relatively common mainstream understanding is that "echoes of history" will only appear in ancient monuments with a long history, which often carry a very heavy history and are formed by the obsession of a powerful person.

And its connotation, as the name suggests, is the remnant of a lost history in the long river of time.

As for the specific details, even though Char took great pains to collect information, he still didn't understand them very well.

However, if you want to complete the third stage of your novice mission, searching for "Echoes of History" is the only possibility.

Only in the cracks of the long river of time and the fragments of history can Xia Yafang have the opportunity to meet Sylvia, the "Silver Witch" who had long disappeared in reality.

After all, even a fancy operating system like writing a name on a family tree can determine that the task is completed.

Then it should be feasible to increase favorability by brushing through the cracks and fragments of history, right?

The good news is that——

Char won the bet.

As the last remnants of a glorious ancient nation, these ruins do contain the "echoes of history".

Just as Char guessed, the evil god's token, which might be the culprit that destroyed this ancient country, is the key to unlocking the remnants of history.

Char calmed down and reached out his hand towards the distorted light and shadow.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt a repulsive force pushing him back, and at the same time, a cold reminder sound rang out in his mind.

[Entering the historical fragment requires the host to have sufficient time and space affinity. The current host's space affinity is insufficient.]

"I knew it."

Char's eyes lit up slightly. The reason why the extraordinary phenomenon of "The Echoes of History" is so mysterious is not only because it occurs very rarely, but also because entering the world of "The Echoes of History" where the laws of time and space are distorted has extremely high requirements for the time and space affinity of the entrant.

If there is not enough spatial affinity, even if you are really lucky enough to discover a "remnant of history", you can only watch from the outside and wait for this extraordinary phenomenon to slowly dissipate with the passage of time.

And since Char had been preparing for this moment for so long, he would naturally have taken the current situation into consideration.

Char's consciousness moved slightly.

The next moment, a round stone, half a person's height, fell silently on the floor of the secret room.

"嘤嘤~ (Long time no see!)"

The little ferret on Char's shoulder looked at the big round stone and greeted it happily.

"Chi Chi!! (Long time no see!)"

The big round stone rolled over, and then a muffled sound came out of it in response.

Then, the big rock slowly rolled twice and rolled straight towards Xia.

"Chichi! (Master, is it finally my turn to add some more?)"

The soul covenant that connected the souls conveyed an inexplicable emotion of joy, allowing Xia, the owner of the soul covenant, to roughly understand the meaning of the cry.

[Race name: Sealed Stone Monkey (Sealed Stone state)]

[Soul Contract Status: Second Soul Contract (Master-Servant Contract: Char Eggut)]

[Battle Level: 1]

[Racial level: Low-level extraordinary]

[Pet Skill (Unique): Breeding (Perfect)]

Although he is a time traveler, Char did not inherit the most classic style of the good-for-nothings from his predecessors who were time travelers.

Quite the contrary, his spiritual talent as a beastmaster is quite outstanding.

At the age of seventeen, he has already cultivated to the level of a second-ring intermediate beastmaster. According to the system's panel attributes, he has reached level 28. He is not too far from becoming a third-ring high-level beastmaster and has already opened the second soul contract.

Such a speed of advancement is not much slower than that of the descendants of the great nobles in the imperial capital.

However, even Xia Ya’s classmates in the imperial capital had never seen the pet he contracted with his second soul contract.

Many people speculate that Char is the type of beastmaster who specializes in training only one pet and does not have the energy or resources to train multiple pets.

This guess is reasonable.

After all, Char doesn't have any prominent background.

Being able to train that snow marten to be so powerful that it can even defeat many monarch race cubs is already an extremely amazing achievement. It is natural that he is unable to be distracted by other pets.

However, only a very few people knew that Char's second soul contract had actually been occupied long ago.

Moreover, most of the resources he collected in the past few years have been invested in the Second Soul Covenant. Compared to Silver, whose basic abilities have already been finalized, Char has invested even more in the Second Soul Covenant.

Xia squatted down, picked up the slowly rolling stone and touched it, with a smile on his face.

"Since there is already a snow ferret that can read the moon——"

"Then it would be reasonable for me to train a monkey with space-related skills, right?"
