"Actually, I'd guess you're a goblin who transformed into a ghost or god after a living person devours a ghost, and the root cause is because of your relentless pursuit of Dracula. ”

Charlotte explains,

"Because if it's a real ghost or a god, they don't care so much about what they are offended – all they have to do is follow their rules. ”

"Like a drowning person turned into a water ghost, it only wants people to repeat the process of their own death, and not to chase after someone who has fled from its territory. ”

"By the same token, if you're really pure embodiment of people's obsession with paying the price to fulfill their wishes, then you won't be staring at Dracula – after all, you've already made him pay, haven't you?"

"You are more offended only if you are transformed into a living person and have a human way of thinking. ”

"Moreover, you will chase Dracula because he has diluted your power, right?"

"—the power you stole from the goblins or gods you devoured!"

"Bang Bang!"

Xu Fu, who was staring at the face of "Al Pacino", slapped his face,

"Your analysis makes a lot of sense. Indeed, Dracula's transformation from a living person to a half-goblin and half-god is indeed equivalent to stealing some of his power from me. ”

"And if you want to take back this part of your power, you must destroy him?"

"Yes. ”

Xu Fu nodded,

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?

Faced with Xu Fu's expression of "let you kill you with your mouth", Charlotte was not nervous at all,

"After guessing that you were transformed into a living person, the first thing I suspected was that it was actually Paracelsus—indeed, one of your incarnations, but the problem is that Paracelsus existed only after the story of Aladdin's Lamp. ”

"That means Paracelsus is just my incarnation, not my real person, right?"

"Yes. ”

The corners of Charlotte's mouth hooked,

"In particular, the story of "Aladdin's Magic Lamp" can be said to have been discovered by me under your deliberate prompting, does that mean that your real body is from China?"

"—As I said, the people who taught me spells also taught me the records of most of the ghosts and gods that appeared in Chinese history, even some of the famous spellcasters. ”

"Those ghosts and gods in China are not quite compatible, because they are too casual to fulfill the wishes of mortals—on the contrary, there is a suitable goal among the spellcasters—"

"Xu Fu!"

"I see!"

Xu Fu nodded,

"It seems that you have something to do with Lao Dan's lineage!"

"Old man!?"

Charlotte was stunned for a moment,

"Do you mean Lao Tzu?"

"Yes!"

Xu Fu laughed,

"I didn't expect that the inheritance of the history of Tibet would spread overseas. No wonder you know about me—indeed, spellcasters who keep a history of histories have a bad habit of keeping a history of ghosts and spells. ”

"Lao Tzu was originally a historian!"

Charlotte put on a reasonable expression, but suddenly realized in her heart.

- No wonder the old ghost taught him more history of ghosts and spells than the spells themselves.

- It turns out that the old ghost inherited the lineage, and it was originally the work of recording history.

"It's just a record of the hidden history of the world of magic. 」

Charlotte sighed in her heart, this time dealing with ghosts, there were some unexpected gains.

- You know, when the old ghost taught him spells, he never mentioned his identity and mentorship to him.

"Now that the teacher has it, the identity is ......."

Charlotte thought about it, and finally decided that now was not the time.

He now needs to focus more on how to solve the problem in front of him-

"Because it is speculated that you are transformed from a living person and originated in China, it is more reasonable to suspect that you are Xu Fu. ”

"In particular, according to the knowledge passed down to me, or the records, Xu Fu is the only person in Chinese history who has ever played the idea of devouring the gods. ”

"Although the information recorded is vaguely written, and it does not mention whether you succeeded or failed in the end, judging from the current situation, it seems that you have succeeded!"

"yes! I made it!"

Xu Fu's face showed a smug expression,

"I devoured the Queen Mother of the West!"

"The Queen Mother of the West!?The Queen Mother of the West who holds the elixir of life!?"

Charlotte's face was clear,

"It's no wonder that in ancient China, since the Qin and Han dynasties, the original main goddess of the West Queen Mother, her sense of presence in mythology has become weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely - it seems that this is not only the result of the evolution of mythology, but also because you devoured her power. ”

"You're not wrong about that!"

Xu Fu nodded,

"Although with the help of those boys and girls sent to me by the First Emperor to help me find the elixir, I began to devour the Queen Mother of the West, but by the time I finished devouring, it was already the end of the Western Han Dynasty. ”

"I see!"

Xu Fu's words are consistent with Charlotte's analysis. However, thinking of the sacrifice that Xu Fu said, Charlotte was still a little disgusted-

Legend has it that Qin Shi Huang, who wanted to live forever, sent Xu Fu 2,000 boys and girls to go to sea to find in order to find the elixir.

And now listening to Xu Fu's words, he obviously took the two thousand boys and girls as sacrifices, and in return, he got the opportunity to devour the ancient Chinese god of the Queen Mother of the West.

But—

"Would you choose to devour the Queen Mother of the West because, according to legend, she is in charge of the elixir?"

Charlotte sensed the problem,

"In other words, do you really want to complete the task assigned to you by Qin Shi Huang?"

"Because that's what the First Emperor wanted!"

Xu Fu's voice was a little low,

"In that era, the expectations of the First Emperor were even more important than the sacrifice of those 2,000 boys and girls—after all, I am the country!"

"Does his expectation represent the expectations of the whole country?"

Charlotte said curiously,

"According to what you say, there are still many emperors in China behind them, can't they also provide a lot of magic power?"

"How could they possibly have the prestige of the First Emperor?"

Xu Fu retorted,

"There is only one ancestral dragon. ”

"I see!"

Charlotte nodded,

"It seems that you were able to devour the gods with the help of the First Emperor's wish power - therefore, you can only devour the Queen Mother of the West, because she holds the elixir of life, which is exactly what the First Emperor needs. ”

"That's right!"

Xu Fu smiled bitterly and nodded,

"The First Emperor is the First Emperor after all, even if I deceive him, as long as I borrow his power, I must fulfill his wish for him - at least, the direction of my pursuit of power cannot be unrelated to immortality. ”

"—This is the price I must pay to devour the Queen Mother of the West!"

"At the cost?"

Charlotte sighed and said her final inference,

"So, paying the price to fulfill your wish is actually a rule you set for yourself, right? Xu Fu!?"
