Chapter 538 37 So High!

Bardock's appearance remained unchanged from what Charlotte remembered.

This was true a thousand years ago, and it will be true a thousand years later.

But when Charlotte heard what the other party called her, she froze in place.

"Savior...?"

She couldn't help but look at him.

Bardock smiled honestly:

"I'm sorry, Lord Savior. Although you have repeatedly stressed that I can just call you by your name, you are the hero who saved us and the entire city-state after all."

"It is you who bring extraordinary power. In my heart, Lady Lilith, you will always be our savior."

Charlotte hesitated to speak.

Although the word "Savior" when the other person first spoke made her heart skip a beat, the other person's subsequent words calmed her down.

She looked at Bardock who looked respectful, sighed, and said:

"I want to go for a walk. Can you... walk with me for a while?"

Bardock saluted respectfully:

"I obey your orders."

…

Charlotte left the tower and strolled through the city.

There are rows of low buildings on both sides, and the bustling streets are bustling with activity.

Although it is far from as prosperous and beautiful as Charlotte's memory of Lutecia, the capital of the Crescent King in later generations, compared to the last time she traveled, the Free City at this moment has a bit of a big city atmosphere.

When people saw Charlotte, who was followed by the guards and accompanied by Bakda, they all stopped and saluted.

Charlotte smiled and nodded.

Different from the records in the classics, the Lilith in her memory was not a stingy smiler, and she would still respond in this way at any time.

From the looks from all directions, Charlotte could feel people's sincere respect for her.

As she walked, she talked calmly with Bardock who was walking with her:

"So...are you saying that I am 'Lilith' and at the same time...also the 'Savior'?"

Bardock didn't think there was anything wrong with Charlotte's words, but said matter-of-factly:

"This is nature. Lady Lilith, you have brought us extraordinary power and given new life to those of us who should have died. For us, and for the citizens of the city-state, you will always be ours. 'Savior'."

Charlotte was silent.

She glanced at Bardock and continued:

"Do you...remember what happened the day I became a blood...no, Familia?"

Bardock looked reminiscing, his voice respectful:

"Of course I remember that at that time we were in danger of defeat. It was you who sacrificed your life, awakened new power in Nirvana, and brought us new hope."

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have become sacrifices to those evil gods..."

Nirvana...

Charlotte mused.

After thinking for a while, she asked again:

"Do you...remember the name 'Cain'?"

Bardock nodded and smiled:

"Of course you remember, you mean the pseudonym you often used when hiding your identity in the past, right?"

"I remember when I first met you, this was the name you announced. At that time, I didn't know that you, Lord Lilith, were the savior of the city-state, and you even caused trouble in front of Lord Harald. What a joke."

Charlotte:…

God hides his identity!

but……

Harald...

Could it be that... there is no problem with Harald's identity?

The history about Harald...is it normal for the time being?

Is it just that the "history" of me and Lilith has "fused"?

After thinking for a while, she asked:

"Where is Harald? Where is he now?"

"Master Harald went to the north for inspection. It will probably take some time before he comes back, but... he will definitely return before you conduct the strength selection."

Bardock replied respectfully.

"Strength... Selection?"

Charlotte was stunned.

"Yes, aren't you planning to select outstanding third-generation seeds among our second-generation family members for the second awakening? After all...compared with you who are extremely powerful, those of us who were pulled back from the line of death by you are The upper limit of human...power is still too weak."

Bardock explained.

Charlotte thoughtfully:

"Excellent third-generation seeds? Do you mean those vampires who were not first embraced by me but by you?"

"The vampires? You mean the dependents, right? This is also the conclusion that everyone has come to after many attempts. Compared with the lucky ones like us who get power directly from you, they have not been contaminated and have more possibilities. If If they can get strength from you again, they will definitely be able to go further."

Bardock said.

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and fell into deep thought again:

"However, blood clan... I feel... your new name is more suitable for us than 'familiar clan'..."

After finishing speaking, he said to himself again:

"This is really a good name. Although everyone is used to calling themselves your 'familiar', for some reason, I feel that this title is more appropriate to our power."

Charlotte:…

The name "Blood Clan"...couldn't that be how it came about? !

At this moment, she looked incomprehensible, and such an idea came to her mind.

…

As Charlotte strolls, she engages in deep conversation with Bardock.

As she continued to make insinuations, she gradually outlined the current situation.

As she guessed, judging from Bardock's memory, her identity had indeed been "fused" with Lilith.

The things she experienced during her first two time travels, and the things she did as a "savior", all became what "Lilith" did in the other person's memory.

As for how "Lilith" became a vampire, it was not the first embrace of the "Savior", but directly "self-awakening".

In short, the memories of the "True Ancestor of Blood" and "Ancestor of Blood" are different between two people.

In Bardock, in everyone's perception, the "Blood Ancestor" and the "Blood Ancestor" were the same person from the beginning.

This discovery made Charlotte frown slightly.

You know, before this time traveling, she had just "reviewed" the previous two time traveling through the memory fragments in those mirror images.

In those memory fragments, her identity and Lilith's identity can still be distinguished.

But after this time travel...how did these two identities merge together?

Doesn’t it mean that... history cannot be changed?

If her identity is merged with Lilith, if the identities of the Blood Ancestor and the True Ancestor of Blood merge into one in the memories of the second-generation vampires such as Bardock, wouldn't this be contrary to her previous two time travels?

Or... her first two time-travels were the "rewriting" of history, and the "identity" fusion after this time's time-travel was the "self-correction" of history?

Charlotte felt that maybe she should find a way to enter the mirror world that seemed like a long river of time and space.

She needed to verify. She needed to look at the memory mirrors after the first and second time travels to see if the memories in those fragments had changed again.

Of course, Charlotte knew that she would definitely not be able to see it in her current state.

Even if she wanted to see it, she would probably only have the chance to see it when she returns to the future after her "travel" this time.

"History...has problems. History is messed up. Maybe when I really figure out what happened in history and sort out the entire messed up history, I can truly understand all the secrets behind it."

"And this...must be related to the warning left by Lilith, 'History never changes, but history can be created'."

Charlotte thought.

Of course, the information she can obtain now is still too little.

Traveling through time and space is like a fish entering a different water tank. If you want to know what the water tank that represents history is about, you have to jump out of the water tank and check it out.

In other words, Charlotte may still need to conduct repeated investigations and verifications through time and space travel in the future.

As for now, since her identity has been "fused" with Lilith, she might as well act as "Lilith" and complete her purpose of traveling through time first.

Perhaps, after her strength is further improved, she will be more sensitive to the "changes" in history.

"Let's first understand the current status of the old gods in Northern Xinjiang. Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle. After all, I am back to deal with those old gods this time. Although my divine power of blood suppresses them, facing the myth... I still have to Be careful."

Charlotte thought.

…

After finishing the walk, Charlotte returned to the central tower and ordered Bardock to send all the information about Northern Xinjiang.

Bardock moved very quickly, and soon he came over with a large stack of information.

Charlotte read through all the information and had a general understanding of the situation in Northern Xinjiang.

Different from the previous two crossings, this time Charlotte also had a clearer understanding of the entire northern Xinjiang.

Different from the Northern Territory in later generations, the current Northern Territory refers to the area that should be the northern part of the Crescent Kingdom in later generations, plus the Northern Territory, plus parts of the West Unite Empire, and the East Unite Black Land. partial area.

On the whole, it almost covers most of the western part of the Miria continent.

This area was almost the core area of ​​the Yunet Empire that later unified the continent.

Speaking of which, this can no longer be described in terms of "the northern border of the continent". Judging from the map drawn, Charlotte prefers the name "Northern Border", which should only be used by the elves who set foot on the Miria continent. Own colonies are named unilaterally when radiating around the center.

But now, with the rise of the Free City-State Alliance, the entire northern Xinjiang is in a three-legged situation.

On one side are the elven forces that retreated to the southwest and southeast. They occupied an area roughly equivalent to the western part of the Crescent Kingdom and the Western Union Empire area in later generations. They were separated from the Free City-State Alliance by the Dorne River and the Lunar Inland Sea.

One side is the Free City-State Alliance, which controls an area equivalent to the northern part of the Crescent Kingdom, the Castel Lowlands, the southern part of the North Territory, and the western part of the East Yunet Black Land.

The last party was the Old Gods, and their control area almost overlapped with that of the later Grand Duchy of the North.

Among these three forces, let’s not mention the elven forces that were divided into two by the Free City-State Alliance.

The elves are not united internally, and are divided into large and small forces. The area they control is severely fragmented, and is also separated by rivers, mountains, and inland seas, posing no threat to the Free City-State Alliance for the time being.

As extraordinary power spread rapidly among humans, the elves were exhausted from dealing with the internal human "uprising" and had no extra energy to unite to launch an attack on the rapidly growing Free City-State Alliance.

They could only rely on a temporary alliance with the forces of the Old Gods to prevent the Free City-State Alliance from moving south and east.

Faced with the pressing pressure of the Old God forces in the north, the Free City-State Alliance has no ability to continue attacking the Elf-controlled areas for the time being. Most of the forces are restrained by the united Old God Order.

The three parties have reached a certain delicate balance, but the war between the city-state alliance and the old gods is still continuing, and they are in a situation where there is no big war and constant small battles.

As for why this is the case, Charlotte also has a better understanding after reading various materials about the Free City-State Alliance——

The extraordinary power of the Free Cities Alliance has reached its current limit.

Like the elves, the old gods are not united. The forces of the old gods at war with the Free City-State Alliance are actually several old gods headed by the God of Secrets, Kulkan.

Lilith, who has become a demigod and even killed the God of Hatred and Deformation, is enough to contain the old gods who are hostile to the city-state. With the mythical forces restraining each other, the supernatural power becomes the decisive force that determines the direction of the war.

Although the overall strength of the vampires in the Free City-State Alliance continues to grow stronger, they are still too weak overall when facing the forces of the old gods with mythical pressure.

It is also because of this that there is what Bardock calls the "second awakening" - that is, talented blood descendants are selected among the vampires, and the ancestors personally enhance the power of the blood to further strengthen the extraordinary power of the city-state alliance.

This... is also to prepare for further battle with the old gods.

Charlotte browsed various information and quickly understood the current situation in Northern Xinjiang.

And at this moment, the door was knocked again:

"Lord Lilith, the warriors who have passed the preliminary selection have gathered in the central hall and can start the final review at any time."

After hearing the report, Charlotte slapped her head and then remembered that Lilith had another task in the afternoon to select personal guards.

Reviews are done one-on-one and Charlotte selects them personally.

Of course, the selection of personal guards is actually one of the preparations for the "second awakening". According to the information she read, Lilith plans to select a group of personal guards and maids for the second awakening to strengthen the power of her bloodline.

Of course, now that Charlotte has "traveled" to become Lilith, she has to do this work.

"It just so happens... I'm also very curious about the vampire warriors in the current city-state alliance. I don't know what their strength is. It would be a good idea to take a chance to see them."

Charlotte said to herself.

She replied "I know", then put away the materials, posed, and was ready for review.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Bardock's voice came over:

"Saviour, you are ready."

Charlotte nodded:

"Let them come in one by one."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door was opened, and Charlotte felt a huge shadow cast in, instantly blocking the sunlight outside the window.

Looking at the first vampire warrior who entered the room for review, who was definitely over three meters tall, Charlotte, who was sitting behind the desk, was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said:

"Good guy, this guy... is really tall!"
