Chapter Seventy-Four: Convergence and Rewriting of Fate

Ahem, back to the normal perspective.

The petite, naked Lydette was forcing herself to remain calm, but she was uncontrollably stunned by everything in the spring water stained red with blood.

She timidly raised her head to look at the tall, handsome man with brilliant blond hair. The clothes he wore were quite out of place compared to what she remembered people wearing, but they suited him perfectly.

The tight-fitting clothes, whose fabric was indiscernible and whose construction was unimaginable, along with the man's air of nobility that defied description with stale terms like "noble," left the vocabulary-poor Lizzie with only the association of aristocracy.

Who is this man before me? He shines with golden light, like a king.

Even though the environment was terrible and frightening, Lizzie felt that as long as she looked at the other person, everything else around her lost its color and nothing else mattered.

The other person's long boots, which looked like black military boots, stepped into the red-stained spring water and waded through the murky current towards the stunned and frightened girl.

Lizzie hugged her smooth body with nervous hands, trembling slightly as she looked up, her large, watery eyes filled with shyness and fear.

Ignoring the murky water, Reige squatted down and looked at the naked Lizzie in front of him. He then nodded and smiled, confirming her identity.

“Lysette Wertor…”

"Ugh?"

The girl was surprised that this unfamiliar man would call her by name. She didn't know Razer, nor did she doubt her own memory, because she was certain that once she saw the blond man in front of her, she would never forget him.

Just like now, she will never forget the man who appeared and saved her in her most desperate moment.

That head of long, golden hair, more dazzling than gold and the sun, and those golden eyes were simply too rare to be seen; it was clear that the person was not from here.

Moreover, the gentle and kind expression of Reiji in front of her gradually calmed down Lizzie, who was nervous and timid. Her intuition told her that the other party had no ill intentions.

"You... um?"

Not wanting to frighten the still immature and innocent Lizzie in front of him, Reiji tried his best to be gentle and speak in a very tender tone, but after uttering just one word, he immediately turned cold and sarcastic.

To Lizzie's astonishment, the man before her seemed to conjure a huge sheet of pure white cloth from his robes, and then...

"ah!!"

Amidst Lizzie's panicked screams, she felt her petite body being pulled into a warm embrace after her vision was covered by a white cloth. The white cloth seemed to have a life of its own, completely covering her exposed body.

Once she could see the outside world again, the girl looked down and saw herself wrapped in a white cloth like a silkworm.

Now that he had left the murky spring, he was sitting on a huge rock not far away, his view blocked by the man in front of him.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Two more familiar sounds of flesh being torn apart and sliced ​​were heard, followed by two thuds as the flesh fell to the ground. Confused and nervous, Lizette looked in the direction of the sound and saw two headless corpses standing in the grass before collapsing to their knees on the ground.

Their convulsing bodies and trembling legs indicated that they died without feeling anything at all.

Lizzie recognized them immediately as the companions of the dead men, because they were all wearing the same tattered clothes and armor.

The person who killed them without a word was the man right in front of them.

"Woo..."

Looking at the things wrapped around her petite body, Lizzette realized that she had misunderstood the man in front of her.

It turned out that it was all to save her, and he even thoughtfully draped something over her to cover her body.

"Um...excuse me, who are you...?" Although still somewhat uneasy, Lizzie, no longer feeling fear or tension, clutched the tightly wrapped white cloth in her hand, wanting to ask the other person something. So she mustered her courage and asked Reiji, "Could you...tell me your name?"

"Name?"

When Leizhe mentioned Lizzie's name earlier, he was speaking her native language, so there was no communication barrier.

He chuckled and glanced at Lizzie, then easily annihilated all the nearby spies with his senses. He walked to where the girl's clothes were hanging, picked them up, handed them to her, and introduced himself:

“My name is Razer, and I come from the East, so you can just call me Razer. I’m here to see you, Lizzie.”

This self-introduction helped the girl understand something, but when the other party frankly revealed his purpose, a blush appeared on Lizzet's face, and she immediately curled up shyly.

Looking at the gentle smile on the handsome man's face, her heart was pounding, and her fair face began to flush red.

The still innocent Lizzie was too embarrassed by Reiji's very direct words.

The East? Such a far place, why would someone travel all that way just to see her?

Even if the other party didn't say anything flirtatious, blunt words are more lethal than those. Lizzie didn't know if the man in front of her was joking, nor did she know whether she hoped her words were a joke or not.

"How ironic that times are..."

Looking at Lizzie's adorable, shy appearance, which resembled that of a little girl, Reiji couldn't help but sigh with a touch of pity.

Who could have imagined that this pure, kind, and lovely Puritan girl would become the cruel witch Liselotte in the future?

But now is the time of war, and it is the Pope who has ordered the Crusaders to march and punish the heretics in southern France.

Rezer despises religion, after all, such groups are one of the biggest sources of chaos in the world.

Religions that uphold the supremacy of divine authority and operate under the banner of gods are undoubtedly enemies to kings of countries where royal power is supreme.

This is not hard to understand. No one would think it's a good thing to have another huge power above a leader who rules over all people and is arrogant.

The town where Lizzette lived, Béziers, was one of the towns in southern France and the area where conflict was about to break out. The lords of other towns had long since led their soldiers to prepare for battle.

As for the balance of power in this war, Lizzie was naturally not very clear, but she believed that the outcome should not be too bad.

However, in the course of history, the Albi Crusade, initiated by Innocent III, was subjected to nearly twenty years of armed suppression.

According to historical records, the entire Necropolis faction in the late Middle Ages was eradicated by the Inquisition.

Lizzie, caught in the torrent of history, was no exception. Reiji obtained the Qi Observation Technique through the Reincarnation Space and practiced it in his spare time.

Lizzie possesses considerable fortune, but her fortune manifests as a rebirth after the brink of death, destined to face a tragic calamity.

Therefore, without the Crusades, there would be no Liselotte, the witch who would strike fear into the hearts of people all over the world.

But now that he, Reiji, has arrived, the witch Liselotte can remain, but her tragic past needs to be erased by him.

"Put your clothes on first, Lizzie."

Seeing the shy little guy clutching the white cloth and trembling, Lei Zhe turned around and walked to a short distance away, jokingly suggesting that the other person should put on some clothes first.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Lizzie looked at Reiji, who was standing not far away with his back to her, and quickly wiped the water off her body and put on the red and white clothes beside her.

Then, looking at Lei Zhe's back with some hesitation, the girl wanted to continue talking to him, wanting to know why he knew her name, and whether his words about coming for her were a joke.

But that's it.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The city bells rang, their sound echoing throughout the nearby city, and Lizzie naturally heard them clearly as well.

The alternating tolling of the bells told her she had to return to the city chapel, but she hesitated as she looked at that golden figure.

"Um... Mr. Rei... Mr. Rei Zhe?"

Rezer's eyes, which seemed to pierce through distance, saw the arrival of the Crusaders in the distance. They had already clashed fiercely with the forces led by Lord Bézier, but he didn't care about the life or death of anyone in this era except for Lizzet.

Hearing Lizzie's hesitant words, he turned around and saw the shy little girl standing behind him, holding a white cloth made of random matter by Reiji, wanting to return it to him.

"Lizzie, I just arrived here recently. Could you please take me to the city?"

Reiji took the things from Lizzie and chuckled as he asked the girl in front of him for a small favor.

"Okay, sure, no problem!"

Lizzie, whose inner thoughts were unknown, readily agreed and led Reiji toward the city.

Throughout the journey, this pure and curious girl kept asking Reiji questions, such as what the East was like and why she had come to Bézier.

When faced with Lizziet's words, Rezhe simply smiled and slowly replied, his words filled with the utmost honesty, though whether she believed him was another matter entirely.

He came here to protect this girl with a tragic fate, but now that war has broken out, he naturally has to protect Lizzie while also planning for her future.

The goal is to change Lizzie's tragic fate while also preventing Lizzie from disappearing due to the rewriting of time and space.

The number of troops in Béziers is now vastly different from that of the Crusaders. Even if they initially achieve small victories and boost morale, it will be difficult to reverse the situation.

The Crusaders are a fanatical army of madmen with a death-defying faith. A single defeat can make them think it is a trial, and they will stop at nothing to eliminate heresy.

The Crusaders, who had started off poorly, immediately regrouped and charged toward the soldiers guarding the city.

This time, Béziers did not gain any advantage. The true number of the Crusaders was devastating, so they could only wage guerrilla warfare against them.

Upon arriving in Béziers, Reige noticed that the residents were beginning to feel tense and panicked.

After secretly leaving a mark on Lizzie, he temporarily separated from the girl.

Lizzie knew she had no reason to stay by his side any longer, and she also needed to return to the chapel, so she looked at Rezer with some reluctance as he gradually left.

She also learned that war was about to break out, so she had to go back to the church.

After enveloping himself in a magic spell that made him appear insignificant, Razer enveloped the entire world with his will, making everything transparent to him.

Reiji was slightly interested in the Jade Record of this world, since most of the extraordinary artifacts in the original work were casually crafted from the Jade Record.

It was an inscription made of jade, found in the tomb of the great magician Hermes Torlis Megistos, inscribed with the wisdom of the gods.

It also contains the most profound secrets of alchemy, making it an item coveted by all alchemists in the Middle Ages.

The original body was shattered into twelve pieces on the orders of Queen Netecles of the Sixth Dynasty of Egypt. Whoever possesses a piece can master all magic and obtain infinite magical power.

After it was broken, none of the known methods could damage the fragments of the jade tablet.

However, in this world story, the first three fragments of the Emerald Tablet have been destroyed or disposed of in different ways.

【The Illusory Magic Stone】

The dark magic stone that was once easily destroyed by Reiji when he knocked it out of Liselotte's body was a treasure placed inside her body by Michelle Maxmy, Liselotte's teacher, and merged with her soul.

This was also something made from fragments of the Emerald Record, which provided Liselotte with immense magical power.

Then there's the [Eye of Calamity], [Monument of Gods], [King God], [Keros Clock], [[Key of Hades/Necronomicon], and [Helena's Holy Nail]].

"This is quite an interesting thing..."

Sitting on the rooftop of a building, Lei Zhe raised his hand with a light laugh, and a force that stirred time instantly permeated the entire time corridor of this world.

Having gained a complete understanding of the Jade Record's structure, Razer used his power, enough to create the world, to directly create an enhanced version of the green jade-shaped stele in front of him.

The Alchemy Classic, also known as the Jade Book, is a symbol of wisdom, erudition, and the power of wealth.
