-36- "Fusion" of identities

The capital of freedom, the central tower.

Charlotte sat on the throne of the Alliance, rubbing her temples with some headaches.

In the hall, leaders and officials from all over the city-state alliance were quietly lining up, respectfully waiting for their work reports.

"Lord Lilith, the clearing of trees in the northern forest some time ago has been preliminarily completed, and we have vacated enough land according to your request."

"Not bad."

"Next, we plan to hire elven craftsmen to start the construction of the fortress according to the plan, do you see if it is feasible?"

"Yes."

"And ...... Regarding the magic circle in the north to resist those cultists, the lords have consulted and come up with some suggestions......"

"There is no problem, just follow the results of the discussion."

"There is also the selection of the guards, the primary selection has been completed, and the final review will be held in the afternoon, and it is up to you to choose the final candidate."

"Hmm."

"In addition, there is also the selection of the maid, the announcement has been released, and according to your requirements, the registration period is limited to one month."

"Hmm."

“……”

By the time the last official had finished reporting, the morning had passed.

Charlotte relaxed at this time, and her expressionless and beautiful face, which was originally trying to maintain her majesty and identity, suddenly became vivid:

"Whew...... It's finally over. ”

"Fortunately, Lilith left enough information, and the abilities of these leaders and officials are not bad, so they can barely be fooled and their identities are not revealed."

"But...... What the hell is going on? How did I become Lilith this time? ”

As she spoke, Charlotte reached out again and touched a part of herself that felt quite good, and shook her head:

"No...... I should say, why did they think I was Lilith? ”

Charlotte was confused.

Really confused.

She did succeed in the crossing.

However, I don't know why, after she crossed this time, she was recognized by everyone as Lilith.

At first, Charlotte wondered if she had crossed over to Lilith, after all, after she first embraced Lilith, Lilith's appearance had changed and she became very close to her.

But she was sure that her body was her own.

Although it is an adult posture, the divine fire in the heart cannot be faked.

It was indeed her own divine fire, she was very familiar with it, and she would never admit it, not to mention the core of the belief network that had been formed in it, although it was the same as before, it could not communicate with her believers in another time and space, but it could prove her identity.

Not only that, but Charlotte could still sense the existence of the Blood Sacred Scripture in the dark, even clearer than the previous two crossings.

And, of course, the figure.

Although Lilith is about the same height as her as an adult, the size of the two is very different......

The people of the Free City-States Alliance didn't even see this?

Wrong.

Something is very wrong.

At first, Charlotte wondered if she had fallen into some magical illusion, but she overturned her after using her divine power to investigate.

After that, she wondered if there was something wrong with the people around her, but after quietly checking the mental strength of those who thought of her as Lilith, she was sure that the people around her were normal.

They...... I really thought of her as Lilith.

And their memories, their thoughts, have not been changed at all, there is no trace of being affected.

Charlotte didn't wonder if Lilith's appearance had changed again after she became a demigod, and the place where she should have been bigger had become more similar in appearance, so that others couldn't tell the difference between her and Lilith......

But upon further investigation, she found that it did not seem to be the case.

"The place where I woke up in the morning was Lilith's bedroom."

"I've asked the guards, and I've asked the maids, and in their minds, ...... 'Lord Lilith' did sleep in the bedroom last night."

"But this morning, it was 'me' who woke up."

"And where did Lilith go?"

Charlotte was confused.

This crossing is different from the previous two crossings.

Not only has the body shape changed, but even the "identity" has changed.

The only thing that is fortunate is that she is Lilith's "teacher" after all, and the last time she crossed over, she also watched Lilith handle her work many times, and she can pretend to be eight or nine without leaving ten.

The leaders and officials of the Liberty Castle Alliance didn't see anything wrong with her, and their expressions didn't show the slightest difference.

Combined with the various temptations and investigations after waking up, Charlotte had a very subtle feeling.

That feeling...... Like, like......

"It's as if I've crossed over and replaced Lilith's existence with my own."

Charlotte muttered to herself.

At the thought of this, Charlotte was stunned.

Her expression changed and fell into deep thought:

"Replace ......?"

"Could it be...... This is also Lilith's plan? ”

Charlotte was unclear about Lilith's specific purpose.

But through the journal of the Scarlet Queen Rowena, she knew what the other party wanted her to do.

In other words, I hope that after she "travels" through history, she will do something.

"Perhaps...... This was done by Lilith on purpose. ”

Charlotte's eyes twitched as she looked at the stone chronology on the wall.

Apocalypse 495.

It's been almost 15 years since she last crossed.

Looking at the weather outside, it should be winter, and there is snow everywhere in the distance, that is, the city is protected by a magic array, which isolates the cold outside.

"Did you change the name of the City of Dawn to the City of Freedom? Freely...... Rutthia ...... I see, I forgot that Lutesia was originally a transliteration of the lingua franca of the 'free' continent from the ancient elves......"

"However, in the later generations, this land is not so cold, as the royal capital of the Crescent Moon Kingdom, the climate of Lutecia is quite mild, and the history is so different from the later generations, is it because of the change in magic......"

Charlotte muttered to herself.

This time the crossing was beyond her expectations.

However, it did not affect her plans.

Her main purpose this time is to improve her strength, and the target is those old gods in the northern frontier, and now she is walking as "Lilith", which is actually more convenient to do.

After all...... The Free City-States Alliance was an enemy of the Old Gods, and through the memories in the lenses Charlotte saw, she knew that the two sides were still at war.

The biggest difference is that the Alliance of Free City-States is no longer a small force that may be destroyed at any time, but a behemoth that occupies almost half of the northern frontier.

This is all thanks to the appearance of the "family of dependents", eh...... This is what the people of the Liberty Castle Alliance call the Bloodline.

Wait a minute......

Bloodline?

As if thinking of something, Charlotte's heart moved:

"I am already the True Ancestor of Blood, and I can sense the location of all the Blood Clans."

"I first hugged Lilith, so...... It stands to reason that I should be able to sense Lilith's bloodline as well. ”

"In the past, there were no bloodlines on this plane, but now it's different."

"Perhaps...... This will allow me to find her! ”

Thinking of this, Charlotte sank into consciousness again.

Unlike the last time, after this crossing, Charlotte easily entered the spiritual world of the Night Castle.

Sitting high on the throne of blood, Charlotte's divine power moved slightly, and the crimson mist rolled in, forming a vast sea of stars.

However, when Charlotte's gaze fell on the sea of stars, she quickly sighed slightly:

"Sure enough...... That's it. ”

Just as she had envisioned, she had indeed succeeded in summoning the Crimson Star Sea, a symbol of the Bloodline.

But the sea of stars in front of her was completely different from the sea of stars in her impression.

Just like her faith network, a large area of the crimson star sea she summoned was blank.

It was not a simple blank, but more like a "shield", and the scope of the shield was exactly where the many stars representing the blood clan in Charlotte's impression were located.

Charlotte could even faintly perceive a rejection.

That rejection was not only rejecting her exploration of the Crimson Star Sea, but even the entire real world seemed to resist her when she wanted to delve deeper.

It's subtle and weird.

Like some kind of rejection, she felt as if she were a foreign body to the world.

Charlotte was thoughtful and had a slight guess.

If there is no problem with her judgment, perhaps this rejection is likely to come from "time and space".

"If I go deeper, maybe ...... It is likely to be kicked straight back into the future plane. ”

Charlotte muttered to herself.

Thinking of this, she gave up on in-depth exploration, and instead set her sights in the other direction of the Crimson Star Sea.

Aside from the interference of "time and space", she could still see the few stars there.

Not only that, but she can even clearly perceive the "coordinates" of those stars.

Charlotte had an instant realization.

These stars belong to this time and space.

This is one of the second-generation bloodlines that Lilith first embraced!

It's just that when Charlotte sensed it further, she didn't sense Lilith's breath in these stars.

Lilith ...... It's as if it's gone.

"Could it be that I really 'replaced' Lilith's existence?"

Charlotte was a little surprised.

And at this moment, she suddenly sensed that a star in the crimson star sea was rapidly approaching.

The brilliance of that star was about the same as that of the Earl of Blood, and the aura it brought to Charlotte was quite familiar.

"This breath...... Is it Bardock? ”

Charlotte's heart fluttered slightly.

After thinking about it, she put away her divine power and withdrew from the spiritual world of the Night Castle.

Consciousness returns to reality, and spirituality spreads.

Charlotte soon sensed the approach of the same aura in the real world.

After a while, the guard at the door of the hall respectfully reported:

"Lord Lilith, Captain Bardock asks to see you."

Sure enough, it's Bardock!

Charlotte was sure.

In any case, it is always reassuring to be able to meet acquaintances on this plane.

"Let him in."

Charlotte said.

The guard stepped back respectfully, and soon, Bardock, dressed in elven silver armor, entered the room.

I saw him come to Charlotte's face, bow down, and say respectfully and fervently:

"Commander of the Third Army, Bardock...... Meet the Savior! ”
