Four years ago.

The pure white city of "Thales".

Two figures, one black and one white, walked in the long underground corridor.

"I didn't expect that there are caves under this pure white city," said Mr. Palamedes, who was dressed in black robes, and looked around in amazement, the ground, walls and ceilings of the underground corridor were like crystals, all of which were integrated into one, emitting a gentle white fluorescence, "I thought that the great Errios had only left us a secret place of 'Empedocles'." ”

The white-robed man walking next to him laughed twice. He lowered his head and stared at his own inversion on the translucent ground. The tall mage had a majestic square face and wore a golden crown encrusted with six diamonds, with a faint glow circulating on the crown.

"Originally, any legendary mage would have been informed of the existence of this 'Thales Underground Vault,'" said the white-robed Lord of the Crown, "but Vane said that your talent is not inferior to that of Elrios back then, so I have to keep you alone." ”

"You've been hiding from me like this for ten years. Just to keep me from coming into contact with the oldest secrets of the French Nation. ”

"That's right, John."

"Then I have to thank you, Corbrian," snorted Mr. Palamedes, Lord of the Black, "for not telling Vane about my return. ”

"You are my only friend," said Cobrien, the Lord of the Crown, leisurely, "and you are right, for Vane and François are so self-contained that they do not even accept the least truth. It's just us...... We are qualified to master the legacy of Elrios and then guide the fate of the entire continent. ”

Mr. Palamedes glanced meaningfully at the Lord of the Crown. Like his old self, he was too confident......

"Maybe Vane and François are right. It's that we're too arrogant. Palamedes said self-deprecatingly.

"No, Palamedes," the "Lord of the Crown" Corbrian's turquoise eyes gleamed with a strange light, "Trust me. It is our destiny to accomplish this great cause. ”

The figures of the two legendary mages disappeared at the end of the corridor.

……

The next day, Mr. Palamedes, the "Lord of Black", hurriedly left the pure white city. Later that day, Vane, the Lord of the Blue Sky, and François, the Lord of the Stars, discovered the body of the Lord of the Crown, Cobrien, and concluded that the Black Lord was the work of Palamedes.

Vane immediately declared Palamedes a traitor in his capacity as the chief archmage of the French Powers, and declared that he would devote all his strength to defeat Palamedus.

----------------------

Time comes back to the present.

In the "Pitch Black Dome" at the highest point of the Black Floating City, Mr. Palamedes opened his eyes.

The past is vivid. But now is not the time to reminisce about the past......

"Here you go again." Palamedes smiled.

The girl ran towards where he was.

……

"Palamedes!" The girl rushed to the Lord of Darkness, panting.

"I don't know what's going on yet." Palamedes said quietly.

"Another traverser."

"You've already said that." Palamedes said almost lazily.

"Another traverser," the girl gritted her teeth, her heart filled with rage, "he ...... He's ......"

"Who is he?" Mr. Palamedes asked.

The girl opened her mouth, but said nothing. How would she describe this to Palamedes? Just say......

"I guess you've met yourself," Palamedes whispered, "not into the consciousness of another body, but into your original body that is alive, walking through this world. ”

That's right. On the streets of Elrios, the maiden sees the face of Wei, the "Eternal Blood".

There is no doubt that that face belongs to the past self.

The identity of the other traverser has been revealed.

"Sure enough, you already knew. I should have guessed—" The girl glared at the Lord of Darkness.

"There are two visitors from this world," said the Lord of Darkness, "but there is also a lot of evidence that only one foreign object has descended on this world. I was puzzled by the contradiction and proposed several hypotheses. Your words confirm one of them. ”

"Even if I asked you, 'Why didn't you tell me earlier,'" the girl raised her eyebrows, "and you'll reply, 'Hypotheses without verification are not worth mentioning.'" ”

"Exactly."

"Don't try to fool me," said the girl, "tell me." Why do you think that only one alien consciousness has come to this world? ”

"Most legendary mages can't cast snooping spells, but I can."

"Let me see."

"It will take a long time."

"Then we may as well study the subject later," said the maiden, "and I have a stomach full of doubts now." ”

"You don't look like you're here for advice, but you're here for my help." Mr. Palamedes made a governess-like expression.

"Don't talk nonsense. First of all, one thing is certain: I know who he is, but he can't realize who my consciousness belongs to. After all, I'm using Vicky's body now. ”

"You're right."

"That's where the key comes in. I saw my old body moving in the street. ”

"And then?"

"If I find this out unprepared, I will first make sure that controlling that body is not my original consciousness. Maybe my body was just stripped from my consciousness, and now the shell is owned by an unrelated guy. ”

"You're not unprepared. You've identified another traveler and you've made contact with you. ”

"Just knowing that another time-traveler exists, and seeing my original body shopping, I can't rule out the possibility that a second time-traveler is using my original body, or that an unrelated person is controlling my original body. You just said that there is only one object from the other world in this world, but you have suddenly reduced the scope of the truth a lot. ”

Mr. Palamedes did not speak. There was silence in the garden-like "dark dome", save for the sound of the murmuring of the stream.

"The other me in this world is Ocard's 'eternal blood'." The girl said slowly.

……

Mr. Palamedes smiled.

"Are you convinced?"

"It's just a rough elimination," said the girl, "and I have the talent of the three systems of power: divine, mysterious, and mysterious, and all of them are above the average of the corresponding class groups. If there really is another me in this world, it will never be unknown. In fact, in my brief encounter with him, he did display a high level of arcane prowess. ”

The Lord of Darkness listened silently.

"Then it's simple, the body was brought from another world, and it has no identity in this world," the girl said, "In recent years, has there been any genius in divine arts, arcane arts, and secret rituals that has suddenly risen under the premise of an unknown background?" The only answer is Ocard's 'Eternal Blood'. Because he is a 'soulless one' who, like me, has the opportunity to achieve eternal life, he has given himself the title of 'eternal blood'. ”

"Unless it is confirmed that he is a visitor from the other world, it is difficult to guess the meaning behind the title of 'Eternal Blood' alone." Mr. Palamedes said.

"But I still can't figure it out," the girl frowned, "It seems that the 'Eternal Blood' was thrown directly into Okad. If that's me, then ......"

"It's strange," Mr. Palamedes nodded, "that you knew something about this world before you came to our world. You seem to prefer Elrios to Okad...... Favor me. ”

Because the protagonist I described in the original work is Erios, the girl thought boredly. Okade was originally the villain. If there was another undamaged self that had crossed over, it would never have been as loyal to Okad as Eternal Blood.

"Perhaps I can help you explain," said Mr. Palamedes, "that there is a minor problem with the mental condition of the 'Eternal Blood'. ”

"What?"

"He can't remember who he is," said Mr. Palamedes mildly, "I don't know if it's amnesia or psychological suggestion, but he can remember the common sense of life before he came into this world, but he forgets everything about his experience." I can't even think of my own name. He was so distressed by this that he covered his face with a mask. ”

The girl waved her arm heavily.

"This is it!" "The last piece of the puzzle for truth," she said. ”

"Oh?" Mr. Palamedes seemed interested.

"The ...... 'Bald Starman' that made me travel into this world," said the girl, "is a demonic type of guy full of bad tastes." I was put in Victoria Douglas's body, and if I hadn't found out about it in the first place, or hadn't made peace with Vivi, I was afraid that the end would have been very miserable. ”

"Go on."

"The other one is the same. I have a healthy, complete consciousness, but my body is not right; The other me, who had a body from the past, was so broken that I couldn't even remember who I was. The tremendous pressure led him down another path. I'm afraid that the purpose of the bald star is to see us hostile to each other. ”

"You don't seem to worry about who you really are."

"Huh." Eternal Blood's body is mine, but his spirit is not mine at all. I am who I am, and no one can replace me. ”

"A man's memory is like a towering tree," said the Lord of the Black, "and a person without memory is like the heart of the tree has been hollowed out, and even if it is still leafy on the outside, it will not last long before it dies." ”

"The 'Eternal Blood' lives well."

"I am afraid that he has a great will to build a new personality that is very different from the past," said the Black Lord, "and it is possible that he will continue to persevere, or he may suddenly collapse one day in the future." ”

"That would save me a lot of trouble, just treat him as an enemy."

But that would be the equivalent of being led away by the nose by the bald star. Bald Starman ...... He must not have been well-intentioned.

"You and the Eternal Blood are the keys to ending the war," the Lord of Darkness said softly, "and it's up to you whether you want to continue to be his enemy or turn him into a friend." ”

The girl's heart moved.

Let's not talk about anything else. If the "Eternal Blood" can become the internal response of his side in Okad...... Maybe you can really defeat Speaker Nicholas in one go.

Don't be funny!

You who have lost your memory are still you, the girl's heart said. Just as Okad can't dig into his own corners, it is difficult for him to easily shake the loyalty of "Eternal Blood".

I have a normal memory, and I don't have any ill feelings towards him, so let's ...... It's hard to imagine his attitude towards me......

What a difficult future.

"Don't talk about that," the girl sighed, "Mr. Palamedes, aren't you going to show me your spell of prying for cause and effect?" Come on. ”
