-26- Not to change, but to create!

The Scarlet Queen Rowena's diary is finished.

Looking at the worn-out notebook in her hand, Charlotte's heart was like a rough sea, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Especially the two sentences left by "Lilith" in the notebook by Rowena's hand......

"History has never changed? But...... Can history be made? ”

Charlotte muttered to herself, lost in thought.

She felt as if she had grasped something, but she couldn't tell what it was.

However, the question that had been puzzled for a long time since her first crossing was now answered:

"So...... My second time travel is really time travel, and not only that, but Lilith, the creator of the Blood Sacred Book and the 'True True Ancestor' of the Blood Clan, also knows about the 'time and space travel' that happened to me. ”

"In a sense, my 'crossing'...... It's even quite possible that she designed it. ”

"The oracle she left behind...... It's more like an admonition, a kind of guidance, she knows that I will go through, she knows that I will 'influence' history. ”

"But...... What does it mean to never 'change' and to be able to 'create'? ”

Charlotte's brows tightened, and she only felt that the mystery on Lilith seemed to be growing.

This "True Ancestor of Blood", who she accepted as an apprentice through history and was forgotten by the blood clan, is becoming more and more mysterious, and it is becoming more and more difficult for her to see.

"If only she could leave more oracles, just two sentences like riddles...... There is still too little information. ”

Charlotte shook her head.

Her crossing relied on the power of the Blood Tome.

This conclusion, through many temptations combined with the Rowena diary obtained this time, Charlotte can almost be sure.

In a sense, if Lilith, the creator of the Blood Codex, really had the purpose of having Charlotte travel to influence the worldline, maybe ...... The creation of the Blood Tome was not a "failure" as Rowena believed.

On the contrary, it has been considered a success.

It's just that Charlotte wonders what the other party wants her to do if it was really Lilith who let her cross?

And, why was she the one chosen?

If history cannot be changed, then why can she leave traces in real history as a "savior"?

She even managed to leave a "visit here" on the tower of the royal library in the Crescent Kingdom!

She...... Is there really no "changing" history?

If...... If it wasn't her who changed history, if "a trip here" existed from the beginning, if her "crossing" was a kind of "historical necessity......

So what's the point of her "crossing"?

And Rowena's diary.

There are so many vague parts in Rowena's diary that it is not a simple smear, but more like a "cover-up" in a way that even Charlotte cannot understand.

Why "cover up"?

Who is "covering up"?

This "cover-up" ...... Does Rowena know that?

Lilith ...... You know?

Wait a minute......

"Cover-up"?

As if realizing something, Charlotte suddenly stared.

As if an electric flash flashed through her mind, Charlotte suddenly realized a detail that she had overlooked:

"Wait a minute......"

"From the very beginning, I seem to have been struggling with whether 'history' has been changed by me."

"But...... What if it's really not 'change'? ”

"Of all the information I know, the Bloods have forgotten Lilith, not only Lilith, but they even have vague memories of the mythological era."

"In Rowena's diary, most of the records of the mythical era are similarly obscure."

"Not only Rowena's diary, but also the various blood classics I found are mostly vague about the past of the ancient era, in a sense, the reason why I want to know what happened in that era is because of the lack of 'historical data'."

"But...... What if this lack of 'historical data' is an inevitability? If...... Is it inevitable that the memories that the blood clan 'forget'? ”

"What if...... I mean, if ......"

"What if...... What about the 'history' that is not the bloodline, nor the classics? ”

"'History' cannot be changed, but 'history' can be created...... 'History' cannot be changed, but 'history' can be created!"

"The Bloods 'forgot' that history, the books 'forgot' that history, even Rowena's diary...... That history has also been 'forgotten'. ”

"'Oblivion'...... This means that there is a 'gap' in the record of history. ”

"Is there something wrong with 'history'?"

"'History'...... Distorted? Censored? History...... There was a 'gap'? ”

"Could it be that the meaning of those two sentences in Rowena's diary is to let me 'go back to the past' and fill in the gap in the creation of 'history'?"

Thinking of this, Charlotte only felt that the doubts in her mind were suddenly like clouds that had been removed, and most of them were clear.

"Isn't it 'changing' history, it's ...... 'making' history?"

"I think maybe I understand the true meaning of those two paragraphs."

With a light breath, Charlotte looked at Rowena's journal again.

She flipped through the diary, looked at the blurred part, and her gaze gradually faded away:

"Perhaps...... The oblivion of the bloodline, the absence of the classics, and the blurring of this diary are all a necessity of the moment! ”

"'Being' can be 'forgotten', 'being' is forgotten, history related to 'being'...... Naturally, there will be corresponding gaps. ”

"I used to subconsciously think that the history related to the forgotten 'existence' would be rewritten and revised to a state where the 'forgotten existence' never appeared."

"But in hindsight, that perception may not be accurate."

"'Existence' can be forgotten, then ...... 'history' can also be forgotten, or ...... 'Erased'! ”

"History cannot be changed, which means that what has happened cannot be changed, but 'what has not happened'...... But it is not included! ”

"What if...... If a piece of history is 'erased', then ...... Is it also possible to say that that history 'never happened'? ”

"Perhaps...... My 'time travel' is to fill in the 'erased' history, and this ...... It's called 'making history'! ”

Charlotte's thoughts were fluttering, and she only felt that she had vaguely grasped the truth.

Beneath this truth, of course, lies a bigger problem.

Like what...... If there is really a "gap" in history, then who is the existence of all this, and who is the existence of "deleted" history.

And...... Who is the existence mentioned in Rowena's diary that is "not His Majesty".

Or could it all be the same "being"?

"No matter who it is, it must be an extremely terrifying existence, after all...... He can even influence 'history,' perhaps...... That's the real 'terrifying enemy' that Bloodline and Lilith faced in Rowena......'s diary."

Charlotte muttered to herself.

She had a vague feeling, perhaps...... This mysterious "existence" is also related to Rowena's madness, the "disappearance" of the stargazer Cauchy, and the two strange stone doors in the depths of her consciousness.

Thinking of this, Charlotte looked at her hands again.

Although the consumption of the large-scale release of divine power this time was very large, the mythical power obtained made her divine power to a higher level.

Not only that, but the perfection of the Blood Sacred Codex, her own understanding of the laws of mythology, and even the divine fire in her chest have all been strengthened and improved to varying degrees.

She had a feeling that as long as she wanted, she could fall asleep again at any time, triggering the "crossing" in the dark.

"Make history, fill in the blanks...... These are just my inferences for the time being, and perhaps, when I actually cross over again, I can further verify it. ”

"Of course, before that, I have to be fully prepared, based on the time of the previous crossing, if I cross this time, maybe I will sleep for a longer time."

"This time I am asleep, I should be far from the level of becoming a 'true god', but the power of the essence is ...... It should be possible to take it to the next level. ”

Charlotte muttered to herself.

You also need to find a safe place to sleep, and before you sleep, you must take care of everything around you.

There's no rush on this for now.

She still has a lot to deal with now, the complete submission of Khortsosh, the reclaiming of faith in the Free Tribal Alliance, the game with the nobles of the Falling Star, and the formal covenant of the Grand Duchy of the North......

Whether it is to unify the existing blood clan forces, expand their faith, and deter the Crescent Moon Kingdom that is eyeing the tiger, they need a certain arrangement.

"There's a lot that needs to be done, so let's take care of them all before we fall asleep."

Charlotte muttered.

……

Retrieving Rowena's diary, Charlotte continued to sit in the holy land of the Khortsosh clan for the next few days.

Although the Great Prophet Margot had officially surrendered to her, she was still somewhat uneasy not to see the complete submission of the entire Khortsos.

However, later events proved that she was overly worried.

Perhaps, as a god, when it comes to the Scarlet Queen Rowena, for the sake of the gods she believes in, Margo, the great prophet of the Khortsosh clan, will inevitably misjudge impulsively.

But when she calmed down, as a legendary bloodline who had managed the Khortsos clan for nearly a thousand years, she finally showed her due ability.

The final oracle of the Scarlet Queen Rowena is scheduled to be released "three days later".

However, during these three days, there were news such as "True Ancestor has returned", "True Ancestor has regained his senses", "True Ancestor has saved the Khortsosh clan", "The Queen Palace is ready to resubmit to True Ancestor", etc...... and it has spread throughout the Holy Land.

This is naturally the handiwork of the great prophet Margot.

Unlike the other clans, the Khortsos clan had gone into seclusion from the Miriad continent early, and their rejection and fear of the True Ancestors were far less intense than those of the other clans.

Although these "rumors" have also caused an uproar and sensation in the Holy Land, they are generally within the controllable range.

And three days later, when the great prophet Margot ascended the platform and announced to the clan the final "oracle of obedience" of the Scarlet Queen Rowena, the Khortsofh bloodline, who had already been mentally prepared, also knelt down in front of Charlotte.

Everything went smoothly, and even Charlotte was a little surprised.

Of course, after thinking about it, she understood why it had gone so well.

First, the foreshadowing of the Great Prophet Margo did alleviate the psychological pressure of the Khortsos bloodline.

Second, Charlotte's intervention did save the entire Khortsos clan.

Third, the blood clan is a race that values class after all, and there is no reason for the Khortsosh clan to refuse to surrender to a true ancestor who has regained its "rationality" and has lost the protection of mythology.

Of course, surrender is submission, and it will take more time to make the Khortsosh bloodline his own followers.

But this is for the future, Margo, the great prophet in charge of the Queen's Palace, has been loyal to Charlotte, the Queen's Palace was originally a "theocratic" institution of the Khortsosh clan, and it was only a matter of time before the faith changed or something.

Of course, like the Ness Clan, apart from the Great Prophet Margo, the bloodlines of the Khortsosh clan also did not know Charlotte's true identity.

She was still an adult, accepting the submission of all the blood.

As for the matter of "the return of the true ancestor", it was also written into the blood oath of Khortsosh as a secret oath.

Don't ask for secrecy forever.

At least...... It's always good to buy some more time for development.

Having completely subdued the Khortsosh clan, Charlotte had no need to stay any longer.

The day after Khortsosh formally surrendered, she left the holy place of Khortssosh.

"Your Majesty, this is a tribute prepared by the clan according to your needs, including 100 million gold tana in cash, and 150 million gold tana worth of extraordinary materials......

At the exit of the Holy Land, the Great Prophet Margot respectfully presented a beautiful storage ring.

Charlotte bowed slightly and put the ring away.

Her face was inconspicuous, but her heart was cheering, and her hand holding the ring trembled a little.

250 million!

That's 250 million!

No matter where you put it, it's a lot of money enough to shake a country!

"Your Majesty, look...... Are these enough? If it's not enough, we'll go get ......."

Looking at the silent Charlotte, the Great Prophet Margo asked with some trepidation.

"No, that's enough."

Charlotte shook her head.

Enough is enough.

After all, she used the money to run the church and develop the territory.

Since the Hortsosh clan submitted to her, it was also her sphere of influence, and it was not appropriate to use the wool of Hortsosh to subsidize her other subordinate forces.

Of course, the most important thing is that such a large sum of money is really enough, even if it is more than enough to make money as the start-up capital of the Falling Star Kingdom's Demon Guide Alchemy United Company.

After thinking about it, Charlotte said again:

"This funding ...... Even if it is the investment of the Hortsosh clan in the Falling Star Kingdom, the shares of the future joint company are also considered a share of the Hortsoksh. ”

"United...... Firm? ”

The Great Prophet was a little dazed.

Charlotte smiled:

"It's a company that I set up in Falling Star that focuses on magic technology and the alchemy industry, and in Miria, magic technology and the alchemy industry are the future, and it's good for Hortsosh too, huh...... You'll understand later. ”

After saying that, she patted the Great Prophet Margot on the shoulder again:

"Lead the clan to recuperate in the Holy Land, for Hortsoksh, recovering strength is the most important thing, and the Holy Advent Day is coming, and I also need you to become stronger."

"I hope ...... To be able to see the descendants of Khortsosh truly become my followers as soon as possible. ”

"I will not be stingy with rewards for those who are truly pious."

"I'll summon you again if you need to."

Listening to Charlotte's words, the Great Prophet hurriedly saluted respectfully:

"Everything...... Obey Your oracle! ”

……

At the behest of the Great Prophet Margot, Charlotte left the Great Northern Forest, where the sacred place of the Hortsosh clan was located.

However, instead of immediately returning to the Falling Star Kingdom, she rushed in the direction of the Free Tribal Alliance.

The prohibition that had enveloped the North was gone, and in her perception, Sebas had reached the temple enshrined by the Alliance of Free Tribes.

Faith Network of the Liberal Tribal Alliance...... Recyclable at any time!
