Chapter 161: Leaving a Mark that Belongs only to Me in Your Heart (Two in One)

Black flames flow.

When the pale golden writing completely solidified in mid-air, the expression of the old man in black robe also solidified.

?

As a legendary strongman of the Foresta Empire, even though he has not had too much interaction with the cult before, he still has the knowledge that a legend should have.

What is that, the Order of Ashes?

It was just a pile of pure sticky shit, full of thoughts about burning and burning things, something that people hate and dogs hate.

At this moment, the Ashes Order contacted him to secretly prepare for the ceremony of divine descent.

According to his original prediction, the Lord of Ashes' divine descending ceremony would probably not be possible if hundreds or even thousands of people were sacrificed without fire.

It's hard to say that a whole block, or even most of the city, had to be buried.

He had even made preparations in advance, mobilizing his close friends and mobilizing a group of prisoners and slaves from black markets and secret markets in various places to prepare for the needs of the divine descending ceremony.

But at this moment, the pale golden handwriting in mid-air was so clear and clear, leaving no room for misunderstanding.

Buzz——

The sound of the magic crystal vibrating echoed in the empty room.

On the finger of the old man in black robe, a ring exuded clear magical light, spreading throughout the room.

This is the highest level alchemy tool, with formations for dispelling illusions and illusions engraved on it.

However, even if more than ten seconds passed, when the magical light that dispelled the illusion dissipated, the words displayed on the skull of the Giant King still did not change at all.

"Right--"

The old man in black robe took a deep breath and fell into deep thought.

"After all, it is such an important thing that God descended upon you——"

"This directly involves the fate of the entire empire, and even the redistribution of people's beliefs in the entire Western Continent after the great change."

"The Lord of Ashes is the true God after all. He doesn't restrain his believers very much on weekdays. It's okay to let them go crazy and only know how to burn, burn, burn."

"Faced with such an important matter at this moment, I will probably take it seriously and make the ceremony as secretive as possible to avoid being noticed by outsiders and even affecting the progress of the plan."

"And these ritual preparation conditions-"

"Although it seems quite simple, it is indeed related to the burning of authority."

After all, the power to receive the gods' descending mainly comes from the sacred skull object.

The biggest role of the so-called ritual is to provide an introduction, as long as the meaning is in place.

The Ashes Order has sacrificed countless souls in the past thousands of years, and perhaps it is not short of the hundreds or thousands that it has prepared.

Thinking like this, the old man in black robe also grasped the inspiration in his heart.

"My lord..."

The confidant beside him saw that the old man in black robe was deep in thought, so he couldn't help but came over and spoke hesitantly.

But I saw the old man in black robe wave his hand——

"What are you still doing? Are you still not following the Lord of Ashes' instructions?"

"According to the instructions of the Lord of Ashes...are we really going to buy beef and cut it into minced meat?"

The confidant hesitated to confirm.

"if not?"

"This is an oracle sent down by the supreme holy object of the Ashes Order. How can it be false?"

The old man in black robe looked coldly at the confidant beside him.

In his heart, he actually had doubts because of the unexpected preparation requirements.

But whether it's the way the sacred objects are traded or the terrifying aura on the white skull, it all proves his character and authenticity.

"To activate the network of relationships throughout the empire, we must perfectly meet the requirements of the ceremony."

"Especially the heat. Remember to hire a professional fire elemental beast master to control it. The final product must be just right, especially if it meets the mature requirements. There can be no deviation at all."

"In addition, everything must be done in secret. The hounds from the military headquarters and the command bureau must not be able to find any trace."

"You should be very clear about the consequences if there are any mistakes in this process."

"nature."

The confidant nodded yes.

Both he and the old man in black robe knew very well that this was a beheading business.

He raised his head and memorized the several ritual requirements written in pale gold handwriting in mid-air.

Before leaving, the confidant suddenly paused at the door and spoke hesitantly.

"Lord, those living sacrifices that we have collected through various secret channels and are ready to be used to complete the fire sacrifice..."

"Process the memory and send it back to where it came from."

The old man in black robe thought for a moment and responded.

Although the empire is large, the sudden disappearance of hundreds or thousands of people may still alert the governing bureau, the military, and the newly established sword-bearing organization.

At this moment, those living sacrifices were of no use, so it was naturally more appropriate to send them back as they were.

"Remember, buy the best quality beef and hire the best chef..."

"yes."

…

then.

A few days later.

Famous chefs from all over the Western Continent, as well as many fifth- and sixth-ring beast masters specializing in the field of fire elements, were invited to the imperial capital under many different names, including "Chef Seminar" and "Fire Beast Exchange Forum" among.

As the name suggests, it is a chef competition and cooking skills discussion.

As for the work he does secretly, it's really just cooking beef.

Fantasy brings embers, Garden of Eden.

"Wow, it's so hot."

Sitting on the sofa in the living room of the spacious villa in the Garden of Eden, Char secretly observed everything in the capital through the mark he left on the skull of the Giant King while eating skewers.

He had never expected that the legendary traitor in the capital would execute the few instructions he issued casually with the mental mark so seriously.

In order to conceal his true purpose from others, he even specially organized a cooking skills and chef exchange meeting in the capital.

Even the theme of the seminar was chosen as "beef".

All that was left was a few beef-themed food battles.

"I think I'm contributing to the food desert of the empire, right?"

"I hope that Her Royal Highness will remember my good intentions and reward me more when it's time."

As Char muttered to himself, he took out a few skewers of sizzling skewers from the gradually dissipating black flames in the resentful eyes of the little snow marten.

These days, as the turbulence of the long river of history gradually stabilized, not only Yin, but also Shanshan and Chihong gradually woke up from the chaotic time and space.

So, the Garden of Eden, which had become a little quiet with Xiao Ai's retreat, became lively again.

The news that Yin successfully advanced to the legendary level and opened up a new legendary race "World Snowfield Marten" made Shanshan and Chihong envious.

Everyone was sleeping for the past ten years, why did only the big sister break through the legend?

They also want to become "World Sealed Stone Monkey" and "World Silver Spirit"!

With the sense of crisis that the master's pillow position will be completely occupied by the big sister, both Shanshan and Chihong are now full of energy and start to double their training.

However, the reason why the legendary level is praised as a natural barrier is that it is naturally not so easy to break through.

After all, the opportunity to absorb a cult's supreme holy object like Yin is only a few. If you rely solely on training, then if you want to break through the legendary level, you can only rely on a long time of accumulation.

Ten years is certainly not a short time, but for the lifespan of legendary pets of thousands of years, it is nothing.

When every pet of Char can't wait to break through the legendary level, fearing that it will be left behind, only Yui can sit on the Diaoyutai.

After all, as the last pet to join the team, it is still enjoying the unique resource bonus of newcomers. Relying on the advantages of the Black Knight Mecha and the Solar Furnace, there is no need to worry about its position being shaken.

So when Yin was caught by Char to be used as a grilling tool, and the other two were busy training hard, only Yui condensed a miniature fairy with liquid metal, landed lightly on Char's shoulder, and swung her legs idly.

"Master, Master... The riots in the long river of time and space have basically subsided. Although there are still small-scale turbulent fluctuations, the master's current status is enough to pass safely."

Char stared at the grilled skewers sizzling in the black flames: "Finally, I've waited until this time."

"In this case, as long as Xiao Ai comes out of retreat, we can return to the main material plane."

"Returning to the main material plane means that I can see my mother?"

Yui, who looked like a tiny fairy, blinked on Char's shoulder, and the wings condensed by mercury fluttered slightly.

The mother in Yui's mouth was naturally Su Lun, the Saint of the Dawn.

After all, half of its birth was attributed to Char, and the other part was due to Su Lun's talent as a mechanic.

Char himself only proposed ideas and drawings, and he was not specialized in the direction of mechanics. Without the help of the saint, many of his ideas could not be realized.

"Well... But Su Lun's situation is a bit complicated now."

"She was involved in the Golden Dawn... But it seems that she was not forced, but Su Lun took the initiative to decide to do so. I don't know what purpose and considerations she had."

"You can't be here to fleece this secret organization like me?"

Char took a bite of the skewer that Shougin grilled with Amaterasu and fell into thought.

Although they are good girlfriends, Su Lun is different from Xiao Ai. She has always had her own wisdom and opinions.

For example, when she and Char parted in Lugia, even Char didn't know that she would eventually choose to go to Florence in the Holy Kingdom, and even finally completed the many tests of the Church and became the Saint of the Dawn.

In this respect, Su Lun's personality is quite similar to that of Char himself... This also makes this Saint of the Dawn seem like Char's own reflection in the mirror, always covered with a layer of hazy mist, making it difficult for him to see clearly.

"But no matter what, as the Saint of the Dawn, her safety in the Holy Court is absolutely guaranteed."

"As for the secret gathering of the Golden Dawn above the black fog, I will be watching, so safety should not be a problem."

Char finished eating the skewers in his hand and frowned slightly: "It's a little burnt."

"Understood, according to your taste, reduce the cooking time recorded in the recipe by five to ten seconds."

Yui's crisp response sounded in Char's ears.

"You are so sensible, you are worthy of being my caring little cotton jacket."

Char touched Yui's little head, who looked like a fairy.

There is no way, from his perspective as a time traveler - not only the empire, but the entire Western Continent can be said to be a complete food desert.

Therefore, in order to satisfy his picky stomach, Xia Ya had to do it himself.

Whether he is cooking by himself, promoting some hometown cuisine recipes in the imperial capital, or asking Xiao Ai to learn how to cook, it can be said to be a helpless move.

But then, Char began to regret the compliment he had just given to Yui.

Because the next moment, he heard the slight footsteps behind him, getting closer and closer from the second floor.

There was also the faint scent of sandalwood coming from his nose, which had been with him day and night for the past ten years and had already been engraved in the depths of Xiaya's soul.

"Obviously when you rescued me in Ceylon... you still said you wanted me to be your beautiful girl, your caring little cotton-padded jacket."

"But now it seems that you have a lot of thoughtful little cotton-padded jackets, classmate Xia Ya."

A pleasant voice sounded in Xia's ears.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a soft and delicate body sit down on the sofa next to him.

Aurora rested her head on Char's shoulder, her sandalwood-scented pale golden hair falling down her forehead and falling on Char's neck, with a slight itch.

Xia Ya noticed two soft little hands on his temples, gently kneading them for him.

"Obviously we have been together for so many years, Xiao Ai, why are you still like this...even jealous of a mechanical pet beast?"

Not to be outdone, Xia Ya pinched the soft little face of the blonde girl. The feeling was still as good as before, exactly the same as when the two were still in Ceylon.

Although ten years have passed, Xia Ya found that except for being a little more open-minded, Xia Ya's personality has not changed at all.

Being pinched by Xia Ya, the blonde girl's pretty face turned slightly red.

However, she did not reject him, but took the initiative to put her body into Xia Ya's arms.

Feeling the soft and fragrant body in her arms, Xia Ya also noticed the heat in her heart.

His fingers moved slightly, just about to do something.

But then, Char saw Gin and Yui who had stopped what they were doing and poked their two little heads from the back of the sofa with burning eyes.

"This is an adult's business, what are the children doing to join in the fun?"

He waved his hand, and Yui beside him immediately returned to the form of immortal metal obediently, and returned to the soul covenant space with Silver.

However, despite this, in the soul covenant space, the chatter of the two pet beasts did not stop.

The stock market, which had been shut down for ten years, has opened again with the awakening of the beasts.

At this moment, there is no doubt that Yin has the upper hand.

There is no way, in the stock market simulated by Yui using huge computing power.

If the stocks of Sylvia, the second princess, the master's Shi-chan, and his mother Suellen are fluctuating up and down, any one party may gain the upper hand in a chaotic trend.

So the stock that Aurora represents has been in a bull market for ten years since she and Char entered the embers of the fantasy zone together and began to live in the Garden of Eden.

Today, an extremely huge gap has opened up with other stocks.

"Mom, you have to work harder."

In the soul covenant space.

Looking at the little ferret wagging its tail triumphantly at her in the Soul Pact Space opposite, Yui couldn't help but murmur to herself softly.

There is no way, as a holder of a full position in Su Lun shares, it can only be inferior to the Xia Ai party fans at this moment. No, it is inferior to the beast.

However, since they are not married yet, there is still a chance for everything.

The Sulon Party will never give up!

…

Along with the pet beasts, they all returned to the soul covenant space.

Xia Ya's hand restlessly touched the blond girl's waist, all the way up.

Well, it's still as flat and steel as ever, unchanged for ten years.

"Is this the legendary steel plate gene that is deeply rooted and more indelible than the dragon bloodline?"

Xia Ya sighed in his heart.

Airola didn't resist his little move, but just moved herself a little closer to Char's arms.

"I'm actually not jealous because of Yui..."

"It's because of Suellen."

She snuggled into Xia's arms and spoke softly.

The breath is warm and moist to the touch.

"When we return to the main material plane, you will definitely go find them."

"Not only Su Lun, but also Sylvia, Her Royal Highness and the others..."

"Are you planning to intervene in the conspiracy secretly planned by the cult to overthrow the empire, and then take this opportunity to return?"

Xia Ya nodded.

"When are those cult groups going to take action?"

He thought for a while: "Tomorrow evening in the time of the main material plane, converted to the current stable time flow rate in the Garden of Eden, there will be about a week or so."

Xia Ya did not deny it, because this was what he had to do.

After ten years of separation, it would undoubtedly be a lie to say that Xi Bao, Su Lun and Isadella were not missed in Xia Ya's heart.

And he did not choose to lie, because lies were meaningless in front of the blond girl in front of him who knew him well.

If not, she would not have traveled across thousands of years of history to come to the Fantasy Zone to spend these ten years with herself in the Garden of Eden.

"I knew it."

Aurora sighed softly.

"Actually, the more I get to know you, Xia Ya, the more I understand."

"How difficult it is to be alone."

"But..."

She paused for a moment.

"At least at this moment, at least now--"

"We have not returned to the main material plane yet, and we are still in the Garden of Eden."

She stared at Char with her beautiful sky-blue eyes at a very close distance, speaking word by word.

"So, Char."

"In this last month."

"I want to leave a mark in your heart that belongs only to me."
