"Can you stand up?" Ember asked softly as she turned her gaze to the frightened girl.

"I ...... I ......"

Instinctively frightened by the rolling thunder, the girl's lips trembled and she spat out two words, but she couldn't say the full words. She looked at the dragon corpses all over the ground, and her mood was inexplicably complicated.

These mighty dragons who have hunted them down and slaughtered entire groups are now left with only wreckage. The sturdy dragon scales that they couldn't even break through the defenses had been shattered by the thunder and lightning, leaving only flesh and blood to their bodies......

The strength of this man in front of him is simply terrifying!

"I—I can ......," Lilith gritted her teeth and stood up, whispering:

"Thank you for saving me."

Lilith didn't know what Ember was trying to do, but at least the other seemed friendly and did save her from the dragon. This made the girl not only afraid, but also full of gratitude to him. Fear is strength, and gratitude is action.

Ember looked down at the girl's still trembling legs, knowing that she needed a little more time to get used to, and asked softly:

"Why are they chasing you?"

"To plunder our Bloodborne."

Lilith's mood fell, and she whispered, "The law of the jungle eats the strong, this is the way this world is. Giants hunt dragons, and dragons hunt us ......"

"Have you heard of the Old Gods?"

Ember pondered for two seconds, then asked.

"Old Gods?"

Lilith looked up, her eyes blank.

"For example, the ancestor of the blood clan, have you heard of it?"

Lilith shook her head in confusion and said hesitantly:

"I have never heard of the Ancestor of the Bloodline, but the strongest of the Bloodline is Lord Lyzius, who is a true god. His castle is in the easternmost part of the continent, and it is said that there is no need to worry about the threat of dragons there. Sister Dorothy had planned to lead us through the desert in the middle of the continent to the east, but we didn't expect ......"

Lilith's eyes darkened, and the entire tribe of hundreds of people had been completely wiped out in the relentless pursuit of the dragons. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Ember, even she wouldn't have survived.

"No Blood Ancestor?"

Ember looked slightly moved, but he was not too surprised by this answer, and then asked:

"The Giant King Ormir, the Fantasy Dragon Angelweed, the Xenomorph King Kvahithun, the Elven King Sunia Soleem, the Demon Destroyer Fregel, the Undead Ancestor Gregarry, and the Demon King Fabuti. Ever heard of any of them? ”

"Ormir?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lilith's eyes, and she explained in a low voice:

"I've heard of the Giant King, and legend says that He is the common ancestor of all giants, but I don't know what His name is, no one knows. I haven't heard of any other names, but it seems that the dragon clan has a dragon king......"

Lilith blushed a little, for she realized that she couldn't answer a single question.

"That's right."

Ember bowed slightly, and Lilith's answer matched his guess.

According to the elves' division of history, the Second Era is divided into three eras: the embryonic age, the first dawn of fire, and the twin age.

The last time he went was the Twin Age, when Lilith, the ancestor of the Bloods, had long since fallen, and the Giants and Dragons were the two most powerful transcendent races.

And before that, the Beginning of Fire was centered on the confrontation of the eight ancient gods. Giants, elves, and bloodlines form the pan-human camp, while dragons, xenos, and undead birds form an extraordinary race, and in the process of fighting and confronting each other, the two sides work together against the pollution and erosion of demons and wolves.

As for the current era when the ancient gods had not yet been born, it was undoubtedly in the embryonic age of the early Second Age.

During this period, the ancient gods appeared one after another, and the sky, earth, sea, and earth slowly transitioned from absolute disorder to a certain order. During this period, the desecration of the slate had not yet been born, causing madness and tyranny to fill the land, even the old gods were not immune.

And from the current point of view, the Giant King should have initially gotten rid of madness by giving birth to children like crazy, but his rank should not have reached sequence 0 yet. Similarly, the Utopian Dragon should be the same.

As for the Bloodline......

"Is Lyzius a man or a woman?" Ember asked suddenly.

"Huh?"

Lilith was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Ember to ask such a question, but after a moment of hesitation, she whispered:

"I've never met Lord Lyzius, but he's supposed to be a man."

Ember realized:

"Since it's male, it won't be Sequence 1."

"And Lilith's name for Lyzius is 'he', and the description is also 'a true god', which means that it is most likely an angel."

"What's more, since Lilith's clan has a Sequence 4 Sage, it is unlikely that they will take refuge in another Sequence 3 Sage. After all, even the tribes with Sequence 4 Sages can be easily slaughtered by dragons, and Sequence 3 is not much better, only the angels of Sequence 2 can barely gain a foothold. ”

"That is to say......"

Ember's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly turned his gaze to Lilith, and his voice was low:

"Lilith."

"I, I'm ......"

Lilith was nervous and overwhelmed, not knowing what Ember wanted her to do.

"Do you crave power?" Ember's eyes were deep, and a blood-red gem appeared in his hand, and the light it emitted was as dazzling as the moonlight.

"I ......"

Lilith's gaze was almost instinctively drawn to the moonlit blood ruby, and she swallowed.

She wasn't greedy, but her instinct made her crave these 'Blood Essences', even though she knew they had belonged to her people.

The girl clenched her silver teeth, looked away with difficulty, pursed her lips, and asked in a low voice:

"What do you need me to do?"

Everything comes at a price, she knows.

She wants to gain power, and maybe at a price she can't afford.

"What do I want? That's a good question indeed. ”

Ember touched her chin and didn't answer Lilith's question right away.

I just didn't know what came to mind, and Ember suddenly chuckled.

"Huh?"

Lilith blinked, her expression a little confused, not knowing what Ember was laughing at.

Ember's gaze fell on the girl again, and she said softly:

"Become the Ancestor of the Bloodline, Lilith."

"Huh?"

The confusion in Lilith's eyes was even greater.

Who am I? Where am I? What is he saying? ——

Trier, inside a luxury hotel near the church of St. Russell.

Audrey, who lives in a luxury suite on the top floor, sat on a cushioned chair in her room, looking at herself in the mirror and slightly distracted.

"What are you thinking?"

The sound in her ears made Audrey's face move slightly, and through the reflection of the mirror, she saw the figure standing not far behind her.

It was a lady who sat on a soft mattress made of velvet in an intricate and ornate long black dress. Her face was covered with a light black veil, and she couldn't see her face clearly. But the lady's beautiful figure and crisp and beautiful voice will still make people instinctively feel good about her.

But Audrey changed color slightly, because she had seen this lady, in the square during the day!

"How did you get in?"

With just the right hint of panic on her face, Audrey nervously stepped out of her chair and took a few steps closer to the door in a way that was as unsuspicious as possible. But this is just a disguise, because Audrey knows very well in her heart that since this lady can appear in her room quietly, her strength must be far beyond her imagination, and it is unrealistic to escape from the door.

However, this does not mean that she has to be slaughtered, because she has other back-hands......

The lady smiled slightly and said softly:

"Miss Audrey, we are not enemies, but we have mutual friends. I came to you to help our friends. ”

Audrey was stunned for a moment, as if persuaded by the other party's words, relaxed her vigilance a little, and hesitated:

"Friends? Who? ”

The lady slowly stood up and said softly:

"Ember."

“……”

Audrey was silent for two seconds, no longer showing a change in mood on her face, not knowing what she was thinking.

The lady took off her veil and smiled:

"Miss Audrey, I think you can relax a little bit, you don't need to be so nervous."

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is still Calula, a witch."

"Witch?"

Audrey's spirit tensed again.

She has only known two witches so far, one is Triss who seduces the third prince, and she can be said to be forced. But the other witch tried in vain to create the 'Beckland Great Smog' incident, almost causing hundreds of thousands of casualties!

It's hard to convince Audrey that a witch is a good person, especially a witch who claims to be a friend.

Calula easily saw through Audrey's thoughts, but she didn't mind, but smiled and said in a soft and pleasant voice:

"I think you've misunderstood something, I'm not an extraordinary person in the witch's 'path', but a 'spectator' path like you. Of course, I'm a little bit taller than you in the sequence. ”

She is the purest witch and the purest depravity, but it has nothing to do with the 'witch' path.

"Well, I think I can prove it......"

Kalu stretched out her white index finger and tapped it lightly on her lips, as if she was thinking about how to prove her identity.

But in the next second, her wine-red eyes quietly turned into golden vertical pupils!

Behind her, a pair of pure black skin-covered wings also quietly spread, and a few black scales appeared on her cheeks and neck.

Audrey's heart shook slightly, and her golden vertical pupils were undoubtedly one of the symbols of the 'audience' approach. And the covered wings are a symbol of the mythical creature, and the other party is a sage of the 'audience' path!

Audrey's expression quickly regained her composure, and she took a deep breath and said:

"Ember in the Church of Steam."

"No, he's not here."

Calula folded her wings and shook her head:

"I entered the painting world of the Steam Church with him, but now that he's missing, I'm looking for him."

"Missing?" Audrey's heart fluttered.

"What do you think of?"

Calula keenly caught the slightest fluctuation and asked.

Audrey was silent, and although she disguised it well, it was far from enough. If it was an extraordinary person facing other paths, even a Sage in Sequence 4, he might not be able to see what she really thought. But if she is confronted with a Sage who is a 'spectator' path, then all her concealment is in vain.

"Can't you see for yourself?" Audrey asked rhetorically.

"Do you want me to do that?" Calula blinked.

Audrey was silent, of course she didn't want to, but she couldn't organize it, and she couldn't even be sure if the other party had done it.

"Just kidding."

Calula laughed, "I'm not going to do anything to you, he hates that we kill each other. ”

"Killing ......"

Audrey's expression was a little strange, she knew that the 'he' in Calula's words meant the embers, but the killing was a bit excessive, right?

Audrey said softly:

"I don't know where the embers are."

She didn't believe the lady in front of her, who called herself Kalula, but she instinctively chose to believe Ember's disappearance, because it wasn't the first time. The previous two disappearances, one to the Sunia Sea and one to the Godforsaken Lands. And one of these two disappearances is also related to the world of painting.

So even if she hears again that Ember has disappeared because of the world of painting, Audrey will not be surprised in the slightest. But the problem is that every time Ember 'disappears', even he doesn't know where he's going, and Audrey can't even be.

"I know." Calula was not surprised by this, and bowed her head slightly, and said in a complicated tone:

"But he'll definitely come back to you, that's why I'm staying with you."

Audrey's mood is a little delicate, this audience who is suspected of being a 'high sequence' has an extraordinary approach, and can undoubtedly hide herself perfectly in front of her, the 'psychiatrist' of sequence 7. But the other party didn't seem to do it, because she could hear the resentment in the other party's words......

Of course, the other party may also deliberately put on such a posture in order to gain her trust.

"Whatever you want."

Audrey was silent for a long time and said softly.

Faced with a demigod of the audience path, she couldn't resist anyway.

Calula stared at the girl and suddenly winked playfully:

"Now, Audrey, do you want to be my apprentice?"

"Huh?" Audrey was stunned for a moment, this topic span is a little too big, right?

Despite the differences, Audrey still refused without hesitation:

"No, I still don't."

"That's it~"

Kalula made no secret of her disappointment, lamenting: "It's a pity, I thought it was ......"

"Why?" Audrey always felt that the other party had bad intentions, and asked keenly.

"I thought I could finally accept an excellent disciple."

Calula answered Audrey's question seriously, showing no trace of lying.

But Audrey doesn't believe a word, she herself is an extraordinary person in the 'audience' way, and people who know the 'audience' way are the best at acting. Especially a demigod of the 'audience' approach, the other party can't believe half of the punctuation marks he says.

Audrey didn't dwell on this topic, and changed the subject and asked:

"Would you like tea?"

"Black tea." Calula bowed her head slightly.

Audrey shouted softly:

"Miss Lotina, can you please prepare two cups of black tea?"

"I'll go get ready."

A woman's crisp response came from outside the door.

Calula narrowed her eyes slightly, this treatment was much better than that of her back then!
