-37- That's high!
Bardock's appearance was unchanged from Charlotte's memory.
This was true thousands of years ago, and it will be the same thousands of years later.
But when Charlotte heard what the other party called her, she froze in place.
"Savior...... Is it? ”
She couldn't help but look at the other person.
Bardock smiled innocently:
"I'm sorry, Lord Saviour, although you have repeatedly emphasized that it is enough to call you by your first name, you are the hero who saved us and saved the entire city-state."
"You have brought extraordinary power, and in my heart, Lord Lilith, you will always be our Savior."
Charlotte stopped talking.
Although the "Savior" when the other party first opened her mouth made her heart skip a beat, the other party's words later made her calm down.
She looked at Bardock, who looked respectful, sighed, and said:
"I want to go out for a walk, can you...... Walk with me for a while? ”
Bardock saluted respectfully:
"Do as you command."
……
Charlotte left the tower and wandered through the city.
Low buildings line each other on both sides, and the bustling streets are bustling with activity.
Although it is far from being as prosperous and beautiful as the Crescent Moon King Durutesia in Charlotte's memory, compared to the last time it traveled, the Free City at this moment has a bit of a big city atmosphere.
When the people saw Charlotte following the guards and Bakda accompanying them, they stopped to salute.
Charlotte smiled and nodded.
Unlike what is recorded in the books, Lilith in her memory is not a stingy smile, and this response is still ready to be done.
From the eyes from all directions, Charlotte could feel the heartfelt respect for her.
As she strolled, she quietly conversed with Bardock, who was traveling with her:
"So...... You mean to say that I'm 'Lilith' and ...... Is it also the 'Savior'? ”
Bardock didn't think there was anything wrong with Charlotte's words, but said as a matter of course:
"It's natural, Lord Lilith, you have brought us extraordinary power, giving us those who should have died a new life, and you will always be our 'Savior' for us and for the people of the city-state."
Charlotte was silent.
She glanced at Bardock and continued:
"You...... Remember when I became a blood ...... No, what happened that day of the family? ”
Bardock's face was reminiscing, and his voice was respectful:
"Of course, I remember that at that time when we were in the crisis of defeat, it was you who gave your life and awakened new power in Nirvana, which brought us new hope."
"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have fallen into the sacrifice of those evil gods......
Nirvana......
Charlotte was thoughtful.
After thinking about it, she asked again:
"You...... Remember the name 'Cain'? ”
Bardock nodded and said with a smile:
"Of course, you mean the pseudonym that you used to hide your identity before, right?"
"I remember when I first met you, you gave your name, and at that time, I didn't know that you were the Savior of the city-state, Lord Lilith, and you made a joke in front of Lord Harald."
Charlotte: ......
God hides his identity!
But......
Harald......
Could it be ...... There is no problem with Harald's identity?
History of Harald...... Temporary or normal?
Is it just that the "history" of me and Lilith has "merged"?
After thinking about it, she asked:
"What about Harald? Where is he now? ”
"Lord Harald has gone to inspect the north, and it is estimated that it will be some time before he returns, but ...... He will definitely return before you have a strength runoff. ”
Bardock replied respectfully.
"Power...... Select? ”
Charlotte was stunned.
"Yes, aren't you planning to pick an excellent third-generation seed for a second awakening among those of us who are the second-generation clansmen? After all...... Compared to you, who are extremely powerful, those of us who have been pulled back from the brink of death by you...... The upper limit of strength is still too weak. ”
Bardock explained.
Charlotte thoughtfully:
"Excellent three generations of seeds? Do you mean the bloods who are not the first embraces by me, but by you? ”
"Bloodline? You mean the family, right? This is also the conclusion that everyone has come to after many attempts, compared to those of us who have received power directly from you, they have not been polluted, they have more possibilities, and if they can get power from you, they will definitely be able to go further. ”
Bardock said.
As he spoke, as if thinking of something, he fell into deep thought again:
"Still, the Bloodline...... Feel...... Your new name is more suitable for us than 'Dependents'......"
After speaking, he said to himself:
"It's a good name, and while we're all used to calling ourselves your 'family,' somehow it feels more appropriate for our power."
Charlotte: ......
The name of the "Bloodline"...... That's not how it came about?!
At this moment, she looked inexplicable, and such a thought popped up in her mind.
……
Charlotte strolls along and has an in-depth conversation with Bardock.
Gradually, she sketched out the current situation.
As she had guessed, Bardock's memories showed that her identity had indeed "merged" with Lilith.
The things she had experienced in the first two crossings, the things she had done as the "Savior", had become what "Lilith" had done in the memory of the other party.
As for how "Lilith" became a blood clan, it is not the first embrace of the "Savior", but directly "self-awakening".
In short, all the memories of the "True Ancestor of Blood" and the "Ancestor of Blood" are different for two people.
In Bardock, in everyone's perception, the "True Ancestor of Blood" and the "Ancestor of Blood" have been one person from the very beginning.
This discovery made Charlotte frown slightly.
You know, before this time of crossing, she had just "reviewed" the previous two crossings through the memory fragments in those mirrors.
In those memory fragments, her identity and Lilith's identity were still distinguishable.
But after this crossing...... How did these two identities come together?
It's not that ...... Can't history be changed?
If her identity is fused with Lilith, if the identity of the Blood Ancestor and the Blood True Ancestor in the memories of the second-generation blood clan of Bardock are merged, then isn't that contrary to her previous two crossings?
Or is it ...... Her first two crossings were the "rewriting" of history, and the integration of "identity" after this crossing is the "self-correction" of history?
Charlotte felt that she might have to find a way to enter the mirrored world that seemed to be a long river of time and space.
She needed to verify, she needed to look at the memory mirrors after the first and second crossings, to see if the memories in those fragments had changed again.
Of course, Charlotte knew that in her current state she would definitely not be able to see it.
Even if she wants to see it, it is estimated that she will only have the opportunity to see it when she returns to the future when her "crossing" is over this time.
"History...... There is a problem, history is confused, maybe when I really figure out what happened in history, and sort out the whole chaotic history, can I really figure out all the secrets behind it. ”
"And this ...... It must also have something to do with the warning left by Lilith, 'History never changes, but history can be made'. ”
Charlotte pondered.
Of course, she still has too little information to get now.
Traveling through time and space is like a fish entering a different water tank, and if you want to figure out what is going on in the water tank that represents history, you have to jump out of the water tank to check it.
In other words, Charlotte may still need to be repeatedly investigated and verified through future crossings.
As for now, since her identity has "merged" with Lilith, she might as well act as "Lilith" and complete the purpose of her crossing first.
Perhaps, after her strength is further improved, she can also be more sensitive to the "changes" of history.
"Let's first understand the current situation of the old gods in the northern frontier, know yourself and know your opponent, win all battles, after all, this time I came back to deal with those old gods, although my blood divine power has suppressed them, but in the face of myths...... Still have to be careful. ”
Charlotte pondered.
……
At the end of her walk, Charlotte returned to the central tower and ordered Bardock to send all the information about the northern frontier.
Bardock's movements were fast, and it didn't take long for him to carry a large stack of materials.
Charlotte flipped through all the information and had a general understanding of the situation in the north in her heart.
Unlike the previous two crossings, this time Charlotte also has a clearer understanding of the scope of the entire northern frontier.
Different from the northern territory of the later generations, the area referred to by the current northern frontier should be the northern part of the Crescent Kingdom in the later generations, plus the northern territory, plus part of the West Yunaite Empire, and part of the East Yunette Black Land.
Overall, it encompasses almost most of the western part of the continent of Miria.
This area was almost the core area of the Yunette Empire, which later unified the continent.
Speaking of which, this can no longer be described as the "northern frontier of the continent", judging from the map drawn, Charlotte prefers the name "northern frontier", which should only be a unilateral name when the elves who set foot on the Miria continent radiate around their colony.
And now, with the rise of the Free City-State Alliance, the entire northern Xinjiang presents a three-legged situation.
On one side were the elven forces that retreated to the southwest and southeast, occupying an area roughly equivalent to the western part of the later Crescent Kingdom and the area of the West Yunaite Empire, separated by the Dorne River and the Luna Inland Sea as borders and a free city-state alliance.
On one side is the Alliance of Free City-States, which controls the northern part of the later Crescent Kingdom, the Castel Lowlands, the southern part of the North, and the western part of the Eastern Unette Blacklands.
The last party is the Old Gods, whose control area almost coincides with that of the later Northern Grand Duchy.
Among these three forces, the elven forces that are all divided into two by the Alliance of Free City-States will not be mentioned for the time being.
The elves are not united within themselves, and they are divided into large and small forces, and the areas under their control are severely fragmented, and there are rivers, mountains, and inland seas, which pose no threat to the free city-state alliance for the time being.
With the rapid spread of supernatural power among the human race, the elves were exhausted from the human "uprising" within them, and they simply had no energy left to unite to launch an attack on the rapidly growing alliance of free city-states.
They can only rely on a temporary alliance with the forces of the Old Gods to prevent the Alliance of Free City-States from moving south and east.
In the face of the pressing forces of the old gods in the north, the alliance of free city-states does not have the ability to continue to attack the elven-controlled area for the time being, and most of the forces are contained by the united old god cults.
The three parties have reached a delicate balance, while the war between the city-state alliance and the Old Gods continues, in a situation where big wars are not starting and small wars are constantly fighting.
And as for why this is so, Charlotte also has a further understanding after reading various materials of the Free City-State Alliance-
The transcendent power of the Alliance of Free City-States has reached its current limit.
Like the elves, the Old Gods are not united, and the forces of the Old Gods who are at war with the Alliance of Free City-States are actually several Old Gods led by the god of secret contracts, Kurkan.
Lilith, who had become a demigod and even killed the gods of abomination and aberration, was enough to contain the old gods who were hostile to the city-states, and the supernatural powers became the decisive force in determining the course of the war.
Although the overall strength of the blood clan of the Free City-State Alliance is constantly getting stronger, it is still too weak in the face of the old god forces with mythical pressure.
It is also because of this that there is what Bardock called the "second awakening" - that is, to select talented bloodlines from among the blood clans, and the ancestor himself will improve the power of the bloodline, further strengthening the extraordinary power of the city-state alliance.
This...... It is also to prepare for further warfare with the Old Gods.
Charlotte browsed through all kinds of materials and quickly learned about the current situation in the northern frontier.
And at this moment, there was another knock on the door:
"Lord Lilith, the Clan warriors who have passed the primary selection have been gathered in the central hall, ready to begin the final review."
Hearing the report, Charlotte patted her head, and then remembered that Lilith had another job in the afternoon to select personal guards.
The review is conducted one-on-one and is also selected by Charlotte herself.
Of course, it is said that it is the selection of personal guards, in fact, it is also one of the preparations for the "second awakening", according to the information she read, Lilith is planning to select a group of personal guards and maids for the second awakening to strengthen the power of the bloodline.
Of course, now that Charlotte has "crossed" into Lilith, then she has to do the job.
"Exactly...... I'm also very curious about the current blood warriors of the city-state alliance, I don't know what their strength is, so it's not bad to take a look. ”
Charlotte muttered to herself.
She replied with a "got it", then put away the information, posed, and prepared for the review.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Bardock's voice came:
"Lord Saviour, you're ready."
Charlotte nodded:
"Let them come in one by one."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened, and Charlotte felt a huge shadow cast in, blocking the sunlight from the window for a moment.
Looking at the first Blood Clan warrior who entered the room for review, who was definitely more than three meters tall, Charlotte, who was sitting behind the desk, was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said:
"Good fellow, this one...... That's high! ”
