Hate Me, Miss Witch!

Chapter 33 The Sword Holder (Two in One)

Foresta Empire, dark blue collar, gray and white hills.

Inspector Fioren stood on the desolate hillside, his metal mask glowing with cold luster, and his red hair swaying slightly with the wind blowing in the wilderness.

In front of her, under the slope, among the desolate ruins, there were dozens of uniformed figures exploring back and forth.

Compared with ordinary imperial soldiers, their left shoulders have the image of a black vulture drawn with silver lines, and their whole body is filled with a chill and capable aura.

Black Vulture Guard——

One of the most elite secret troops in the entire Foresta Empire, the entry threshold for joining the Guards is only three rings.

As for the captain of the guard who is qualified to command an entire team of black vulture guards, they are all fourth-level beast control masters.

The current configuration of the black vulture guards in the gray hills is enough to launch an siege against an ordinary small city——

But at this moment, they were just quietly searching for this seemingly inconspicuous ruins.

"The age of the soil layer has been roughly determined. It is indeed a remnant from about five hundred years ago."

"Then we can infer based on the architectural style inside the ruins, the remaining text information and other details..."

"This ruins should be the remnants of the ancient capital of Cangting."

The person who spoke was an elegant old man with white hair and beard, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

There are several small silver-white pet beasts hovering around him. Different from other ordinary beast beasts, their bodies have obvious joints and the texture of miniature magic circles.

This is a man-made pet beast made by a mechanic. Although its combat power is minimal, it is of great help in the field of inspection and assistance.

"Thank you for your hard work, Professor Adams."

Facing the old man, Fioren's tone softened a bit.

She knew very well the weight of the elegant old man in front of her——

The dean of the History Department of Florent College, a great scholar who was awarded the title of "Sage" by Knowledge City, is also the absolute authority in the field of lost history in the Western Continent.

If Her Royal Highness had not been kind to him in the past, it would have been difficult to invite him even as an imperial inspector.

"It's not hard, after all, it's the little girl's request."

The old man named Adams smiled easily. Although he seemed to be over seventy years old, he was still gentle and gentle.

"Besides, even leaving aside the kindness."

"For me personally, it is a worthwhile trip to be able to personally participate in the inspection of the ruins of the ancient Cangting Kingdom."

"About 400 to 600 years ago, the continent experienced a period of extremely large-scale chaos and turmoil. Our academic community also called that period the "Disaster Land." "

"During the "Disaster Land", there should have been countless wars, big or small, between humans and humans, humans and beasts, beasts and gods... There should have been countless wars, big or small, with saints falling and gods bleeding..."

"The inheritance of most civilizations was cut off in that cataclysm, and the very few that survived are unknown."

"The relics of the Cangting Ancient Kingdom can be excavated this time, which will also be of great help in filling in the blank history of that period of disaster."

"in addition……"

The old man's words paused slightly: "The ancient country of Cangting is rarely taken seriously even in our academic field, and there are only sporadic records."

"Who was the person who identified the location of this ruins and excavated it?"

"To be able to find this place just by relying on some trivial clues in ancient books, the other party must have extremely high attainments in the fields of history and archeology, and may even be as good as me."

"Fullen? Taklin? Or Vladimir?"

Adams named several authorities in the historical academic community, but Fioren shook his head and denied them all: "His name is Chara Eggut."

"Char? I don't seem to have heard of this name."

Adams frowned slightly and began to rack his brains to recall, but soon he heard Fioren add: "He is a student of Saint Laurent College. He is seventeen years old this year."

"Seventeen?"

Adams was stunned for a moment, but then his eyes lit up: "Then I wonder if you can introduce me to him?"

Fiolen saw what Adams was thinking: "Char Aegut's talent in beast control should be even better than in archeology."

"In addition, if my investigation is correct, he should already have his own teacher...maybe an "Eight Pages" from the Black Tower. "

"The "Eight Pages" of the Black Tower..."

Adams' expression stiffened, and he stopped thinking about finding a successor for himself.

The extraordinary forces in the Western Continent can be roughly divided into three categories.

Empires, alliances, theocracy... occupy vast territories, have thousands of people, and are huge forces based on countries.

A taboo organization like the Ashes Order, entrenched in the Lost Kingdom, allied with the Lost Beast King, and recognized as a cult by various countries in the Western Continent.

And other extraordinary organizations that exist independently and generally maintain order and neutrality, so they will not be hostile to the forces on the side of order.

The Shadow Council and the three towers, including the chalk tower, all belong to the latter.

And compared to the White Tower and the Red Tower, which have only been passed down for hundreds of years... the Black Tower is truly a behemoth that has lasted for thousands of years from ancient times to the present, and its inheritance has never been cut off for thousands of years.

It is said that during the heyday of the Black Tower, there was no vacancy in the "Eight Pages" seats. Each one of them was a legend and could compete with the entire Theocracy on their own.

Even during the Disaster Land, the Black Tower's "Eight Pages" also suffered heavy losses, but even so, the Black Tower still stood at the top of the entire Western Continent.

"Forget it...I don't dare to snatch away eight pages of students."

Adams smiled bitterly. Although his status in the academic world was quite lofty, in the final analysis he was only a fourth-level scholar, and he knew his own weight very well.

"But it doesn't matter just to get acquainted." He took out a business card with several golden rose flowers hollowed out: "Please pass it to Chara Eggut, and say that if there is a chance to come to Knowledge City, I will I would be happy to have him as a guest at the Florentine Historical Institute.”

"I really want to get to know a young man who can get eight pages of the Black Tower at the same time and is valued by Her Royal Highness."

This time Fiolen did not refuse, but put away the business card: "I will pass it to him."

She glanced at the ruins below and spoke again: "Two weeks ago, a 'historical reverberation' erupted in this area. "

"But within a few hours, the fluctuations of historical reverberations were completely eliminated. By the time our people arrived at the scene, there was no trace left and it was impossible to enter again."

"There are actually historical remnants here?"

Adams was a little surprised, but then he realized clearly that otherwise, the unearthing of the ancient ruins would never have alarmed an inspector of Fioren's status.

He thought for a moment and said: "According to my experience, most historical afterimages are actually simple relic spaces. There will be some precious extraordinary materials stored in them, and some trials may also be set up, but generally speaking, there are no Too big anomaly.”

"However, the situation you mentioned is extremely special even among historical reverberations. In other words... the person who triggered the historical reverberation for the first time is very special."

Adams pondered for a moment: "To be precise, this historical reverberation was opened specifically for him... If it hadn't been for his arrival, then maybe this historical reverberation would not have been opened after hundreds of years and thousands of years, but it would have remained so unknown. Be silent."

"He is the blood descendant of the powerful man who created the reverberation of history? The inheritor?"

"Or, it's not impossible to simply be an ancient person whose soul has been resurrected."

Adams made several guesses, but did not dare to draw conclusions. After all, this was an extremely rare situation based on his experience.

Fioren nodded, and just when she was about to say something else, there was a faint vibration in her pocket.

Her expression became more solemn, and she waved slightly, and a huge jet-black dragon roared down, carrying her to a high altitude away from the crowd.

After doing all this, Fiolen put his hand into his pocket, took out a light blue crystal, and then touched it lightly.

The next moment, the crystal emits a blue magical light, and then converges into two blurry human-shaped lights.

This is a communication network built directly in the star realm by the Foresta Empire using star creatures such as "Star World Wanderers" as a medium.

Taking advantage of the special characteristics of the astral realm, it is possible to achieve truly zero-delay real-time communication. In human terms - it is the astral version of the World Wide Web, or penguin group chat.

Of course, due to the scarcity of "Astral Wanderers" and the huge expenditure of extraordinary materials required to cultivate them, there are very few people who have the authority to use astral communications. Even Fioran himself rarely uses them.

Fioren put his mental energy into it, only to find that the astral communication should have been started long ago, and he only joined it halfway.

"Char Egut, his resume is very mysterious and extremely difficult to trace."

"When he was twelve years old, he briefly appeared in the arcane city of Logia, and was accepted as a disciple by Hathaway Altiano, one of the eight pages of the Black Tower, the "Eternal Page." "

"At the same time, this is also the only time the legendary golden elf accepted a disciple according to the records of the empire's intelligence database."

"When he was fourteen years old, he came to the imperial capital with Aurora. They used two hundred Rhine gold coins seized from an illegal gang in the lower city as starting capital, and completed the primitive accumulation of capital in a very short period of time."

"Popular reading materials, luxury goods, ornamental pets... He is involved in many commercial markets that are currently popular in the imperial capital, and even some of the emerging categories were entirely promoted by him."

"Later, for some reason, he turned his attention to the field of archaeology. Not only did he invest a lot of money in this, he also frequently traveled to and from major cities in the empire, and by the way completed a large number of tasks for the local administration bureaus. Bounty mission."

"Moreover, the distraction in the field of archeology has not affected his growth in strength at all."

"Judging from the latest information, his pet animals should include a snow marten that is good at spiritual illusions, and a space-based golden monkey with the ability to teleport..."

"He and Alora should be on the verge of reaching or breaking through the boundaries of the second ring. Once the breakthrough is officially completed...their combat power assessments in the intelligence database will be raised to the level of the fourth ring. ”

"Based on my actual personal opinion, an ordinary master who has just entered the fourth ring should have no more than a 50% chance of winning against any one of them."

"The two of them are not so much legendary seeds, but as long as they don't die young, becoming legends is a sure thing for them."

An elegant female voice sounded in the astral communication.

As if he was aware of Fioren's joining, the other party paused in his words, then slightly pulled up his skirt and gave her an impeccable aristocratic salute.

"Your Majesty Fioren."

"You are the one from the abyss..." Fioren noticed the other party's identity and was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to be involved this time."

"After all, it is what happened next to me." The other party's words were still elegant: "And in front of Her Highness Isadella, there is no need to mention my past identity."

The two briefly exchanged a few words, and soon Fioren also began to report.

She concisely stated the information collected from the Cangting ruins, as well as the guesses made by Adams.

Finally, Fioren hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

"Your Highness, I would like to temporarily step down from my duties as inspector and return to the White Tower."

"Before the tower owner fell into a self-sealed slumber, he left a few words. The emergence of this historical reverberation may have a profound impact on the entire chalk tower."

"Can."

"After all, this is the promise I made to you when you swore to follow me."

This is the first time a third party in the astral communication speaks.

With the help of the blurred light and shadow of the communication, it can be distinguished that this is a girl with long silver-white hair, wearing a black and red military uniform.

What is even more eye-catching is her noble and majestic aura, which makes those who see her involuntarily ignore her age and appearance.

The second princess of the Forresta Empire—Isadora von Fresberg.

The current emperor of the Foresta Empire has been seriously ill for many years. In addition, many historical problems are difficult to recover from. Whether it is the great nobles or many hidden forces inside and outside the country, they are already ready to take action. There are countless incidents such as infiltration, internal sabotage, and civilian riots. …

And this huge country is still able to maintain a balance amidst such internal and external troubles, and does not show signs of decline under the covetousness of many forces——

It can be said that most of them are due to the second princess.

The second princess's gaze shifted from Fioren to the former again: "What about his experiences before he was eleven years old?"

"The specific details are no longer available. Char and Alora only officially entered the official organization's sight after entering the imperial capital."

"However, there is reliable evidence that both he and that Airora were born in Ceylon."

"Ceylon?"

There was a hint of interest in the voice of the silver-haired princess: "You mean, the northern city of Ceylon that was destroyed eight years ago?"

"That's right, everyone thought it was the work of a title-level lost beast master who was wanted by the Theocracy and was on the run."

"However, if someone hadn't leaked the news, how could the other party have just launched an attack at a node where Ceylon had just fended off a wave of beast riots in the North, and all the strong men in the city were seriously injured, leading to such a massacre of the city."

Princess Isadella's voice paused slightly: "If I remember correctly, the "Winter Flower" among the eight major sworn families in the empire was exterminated in Ceylon. "

"Yes."

"Therefore, combined with Chara Eggut's talent as a beast master at a young age, as well as his outstanding business acumen and smooth handling style..."

"Many informed forces are speculating that he may be the only son of Earl Winter who died fighting the beast tide, and he is also the only survivor of the "Winter Flower" family in that catastrophe. "

"The remnant of Ceylon, the sole successor of the "Winter Flower" family... very interesting. "

There was a hint of interest in the cold eyes of the Second Princess.

She took a few steps, and her high-heeled boots clicked on the hard ground. The distant roar of the magic cannon came from the astral communication. Her Royal Highness turned out to be an astral assassin on the battlefield. communication.

After a long time, Isadella spoke again.

"In terms of your personal perception, what is your impression of Char Egut?"

"how to say……"

"I know that His Majesty Fiolen and His Highness have both speculated whether he is the resurgence of the soul of an ancient powerful man or whether he has replaced him."

"But from my feeling, Xia Ya doesn't look like that kind of senior figure who has deep knowledge of the city and is full of conspiracies and calculations."

The elegant voice at the beginning paused slightly, seeming to be lost in memories.

"He is greedy for money, cunning, glib, and a dramatist. He likes to act stupid...and he has an absolutely uninterested and unwilling character."

"He has his own subjective judgment on everything, and tends to firmly believe in his own views, and is not swayed by any outsiders' views and public opinions... From this point of view, it means that he is extremely difficult to be checked and balanced by ordinary means. constraint."

There was some indescribable emotion in the soft voice.

"but--"

"If he decided to do something, he never failed, and this is clearly reflected in his resume."

"If what His Highness wants is a subordinate who is conscientious, loyal, and will perform tasks according to your wishes, then Chara Eggut is obviously not a good choice."

"But - combined with the current situation of internal and external troubles in the empire, I think he may be able to accomplish something that such a loyal mediocre person cannot accomplish."

“All in all, I think he has the qualifications to become an ally of the empire and a ‘sword bearer’. "

"very good."

In the image of the astral communication, the silver-haired princess turned slightly sideways.

An astonishing aura erupted from her body, causing many nearby soldiers to look at her sideways.

"Then, wait until the war on the border is over——"

"I will personally preside over the sword wielder assessment of Char Egut."

It’s a big chapter of 5,000 words. I thought about it and was too lazy to divide it into chapters, so I combined them and posted them together.
