Hate Me, Miss Witch!

When Char's consciousness regained consciousness, the first thing he noticed was the cold metal ground.

Could it be that he failed to enter the historical reverberation and is now still in the ruins of that secret room?

This guess was quickly denied by Char himself, because he heard the rapid footsteps behind him.

"Xia Ya, the time is almost up, why don't you leave?"

This voice was not familiar to Xia Ya, and he probably didn't know the other person.

But it was obvious that the other party knew him.

"Sorry, I was thinking about something just now. I'm sorry."

Xia Ya turned around naturally, with an apologetic smile on her face.

In just a few breaths, he had already sensed the soul connection between himself and Shining and Silver.

As a beast master, even if he is in an extremely unfamiliar environment, as long as his pet beast is still there, Xia Ya will have the confidence to face all unknowns.

"The family's coming-of-age ceremony is coming soon. This is a major event that affects our future status in the family. You can't continue to be so ignorant."

The other person seemed to be about the same size as Xia Ya, and he was also about seventeen or eighteen years old. He had a clan emblem engraved with a silver-white sword on his chest.

"The elders are already summoning us. If we are late, there will be consequences."

As he spoke, there was a trace of unconcealable panic in the other person's eyes.

It seemed that this elder had a lot of background, and he actually left such a deep psychological shadow on him.

Xia Ya's mind was spinning, but she didn't show it.

He knew very well that now he could be regarded as half a fake, and speaking less and listening more was the top priority at the moment, so he read the other party's words again.

"Then let's set off quickly, otherwise we will really make the elder angry, and the consequences will be disastrous."

The other party wiped his sweat and nodded quickly: "Okay, okay."

In the grand duke's mansion, there is an inconspicuous lobby.

Xia Ya randomly found a corner to sit down, and glanced around at the other people sitting there. There were about seven or eight people, and they were all about the same age as Xia Ya.

Their clothes and decorations can't be described as shabby, but they can't be described as luxurious either. Apart from their age, the biggest thing they have in common is that they all wear the same clan emblem of a silver-white sword on their chests.

"This family emblem should be the family symbol of Grand Duke Brunstadt, the former ruler of the Cangting Principality."

"Unexpectedly, this "reverberation of history" can actually achieve an effect similar to time travel. "

"Everyone I meet now feels like a real person, not an illusion or a projection."

Xia Ya secretly made a judgment in her heart.

He originally thought that the so-called "reverberations of history" might just be the reenactment and playback of some past historical imprints.

Even if I really enter it, I may still be in the state of an observer who can only see but cannot interfere with any historical process. Otherwise, the grandmother's paradox cannot be explained.

But now it seems that the historical remnants of the Cangting Principality are not as simple as he imagined.

Perhaps, this place was formed due to some obsessions of the most powerful, and it is powerful enough to be a super-large illusion that can be mistaken for the real thing. Or maybe, this place is really a fragment of history that has been intercepted.

When it comes to the laws of time and space, Xia Ya has no way of guessing, but no matter what the reason is, he should be in the Cangting Principality that has not yet been destroyed.

Of course, this is undoubtedly good news for Xia Ya. After all, if it is really the kind of time travel that can only be seen but not touched, then naturally there will be no way to start his favorability task.

"Fortunately, fortunately, I caught up."

A happy voice came from behind Xia Ya.

"Leonard, relax. Pay attention to your image and be careful not to lose your composure in front of the elders."

Xia Ya frowned slightly and spoke as a reminder.

After some guidance and insinuations on the way here, Xia Ya had quietly collected enough information to give him a general understanding of the current situation——

As a principality, the supreme ruler of Cangting Principality is Grand Duke Brunstadt.

It’s just that the border of the Cangting Principality is plagued by a tide of beasts. Therefore, Archduke Brunstadt has long been stationed at the border defense line. Most matters of the Brunstadt family located in the principal city are decided by several family elders. .

The most powerful among the several elders is Elder Norton, the Grand Duke's younger brother and currently serving as the acting head of the family.

Char and the young man named Leonard, including these people present, were all orphans taken in by Elder Norton on the battlefield in the past. Although they were considered members of the Brunstadt family, they were not direct descendants.

The meeting at this time was naturally convened by Elder Norton.

"Yes, Xia Ya, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would really have to show my shame in front of the elders."

Leonard nodded eagerly.

"It's good to know." Xia Ya said calmly. He had long discovered that Leonard was deathly afraid of Elder Norton, and he mentioned it now just to control the initiative in the conversation.

After laying the groundwork, he quietly raised the issue he was most concerned about.

"By the way, how is Sylvia doing lately?"

Xia Ya didn't know the specific situation of the Grand Duke's daughter who was the target of the mission, and he wasn't even sure whether she was in the Grand Duke's mansion at the moment, so his question was very vague, even if Leonard had never heard of the other party's name. There is also room for mediation.

However, it was beyond Xia's expectation.

Almost as soon as he heard Char's question, Leonard's face showed undisguised disgust.

"Her? What else can she do? Of course she is still so annoying."

A hint of hatred flashed in Leonard's eyes: "If it hadn't been for her, maybe the disaster sixteen years ago wouldn't have happened at all, and we wouldn't have become orphans at all."

"The disaster of sixteen years ago"?

Xia Ya sensed the smell of big news.

If there wasn't some huge secret, Leonard, an adopted member with a foreign surname, might not have dared to question Sylvia, the daughter of the Grand Duke, so blatantly.

However, before Xia Ya could put his questions into action.

In the distance, a uniform question mark of "Hello, Elder" suddenly came from the distance.

Xia stood up and said hello with Leonard, while using the corner of his eyes to look at the old man who was walking slowly in the awe of everyone, dressed in elegant and luxurious clothes.

His aura was calm, and he carried a strong aura. It was obvious that he had surpassed the category of high-level beast masters and truly entered the realm of master-level beast masters.

Compared with the strength of the master-level beast master, what Xia paid more attention to was the faint aura of decay on this powerful elder.

For ordinary people, this faint aura may not be detectable at all.

However, Xia Ya, who has had close contact with the evil god's token, can conclude that the breaths of the two cannot be said to be somewhat similar, they can only be said to be exactly the same.

Then think of the record in the history books that "the Principality of Cangting was destroyed due to the disaster at dusk"

Good guy.

My birth point was directly refreshed in the cult's lair.
