I, the final BOSS of the beta test server!

Ophelia looked at the scene on the light screen, and a hint of surprise also flashed in her eyes.

"So, is it possible that the Night Traveler in the Echoes of History had such an outrageous initial identity?"

The Night World does provide a rationalized initial identity in the historical remnants based on the strength of the Night Traveler.

But that is just an extra feature to make it easier for night travelers to move around in the night world, mainly to prevent night travelers from being caught as illegal residents by the police on the spot just because they do not have an ID card in some prosperous and civilized era.

Even the legendary Night Traveler in records could not have such an exaggerated initial identity.

And Axia is clearly only at level five.

"Do not……"

Dean Yin stared at the girl with long ice-blue hair in the light screen.

At this moment, she was sitting on the throne, playing with the doll in her hand curiously, sometimes pinching its face, sometimes fiddling with the clothes of the clay doll.

The pair of shoeless feet swung freely in the air.

The girl on the throne was exactly the same as Axia in appearance, aura, hair color and eye color.

but--

"She's not Xiao Xia."

“Although they look similar in every way, there are still some differences.”

Dean Yin spoke seriously, making a judgment based on his countless experiences of eating for free.

At the same time, lines of text appeared silently on the light curtain inside the Mysterious Tower.

[The current historical reverberation type is "Epochal Reverberation", with no rank restrictions]

[Due to the uniqueness of destiny, the night world missions have changed and are automatically matched.]

[Mission Objective: As the Lord of Paradise and Queen of the Underworld, fully experience the epic story of this period of history.]

PS: The update is a bit late. I originally wanted to write 8k in one go to make up for the overdue update due to yesterday's leave, but I only wrote 7k. I still have 1,000 left to make up tomorrow.

Chapter 95: The Fairy Tale Book and the Queen

The Mysterious Tower, next to the Epoch Tombstone.

Looking at the words appearing on the light curtain, the empty hall fell into a brief silence.

Dean Yin's action of rolling up the dried fish with his tail and trying to put it into his mouth was frozen in mid-air, as if he was eating popcorn while watching a movie.

Even Ophelia's eyes flashed with surprise.

Then, the next moment.

The line of azure text shattered into mottled fragments.

And within the light curtain, the girl with long ice-blue hair was still lazily leaning on the throne.

She supported herself on the armrest of the throne with her right arm, supporting the side of her face with her hand, while her other hand was boredly playing with the small clay doll, as if she didn't notice the prompt message from the night world at all.

From Dean Yin's perspective, this was an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

Obviously, for a normal night traveler, upon entering the night world, their first reaction should be to be alert, and then survey their surroundings while remaining vigilant...

After all, for night travelers, finding themselves in danger as soon as they enter the night world is a common occurrence.

If she didn't even have this most basic sense of vigilance, then Axia would never have become the chief of the Starry Obelisk.

But the girl in front of him, who looked exactly like Akshia, did not have the slightest bit of caution that a night traveler should have when entering the night world for the first time.

Even the opposite—

It was as if she was not just a night traveler passing through the echoes of history, but a member of this world.

I have lived in the night world for a long time.

"what happened?"

Dean Yin couldn't help but narrow his eyes and glanced at Ophelia beside him: "Could this little Xia be a fake?"

This is the intuition of magical animals.

"Or is it something like reincarnation?"

"Since the background of the night world is the Sixth Epoch, and the Sixth Epoch is the oldest epoch closest to the Pale Age."

"Then maybe this queen of the underworld is Xiao Xia's previous life?"

Dean Yin recalled the plots of several female-oriented novels he had read recently in the school hospital to kill time because he was so bored.

Those novels particularly like to describe the plot of reincarnation.

Spanning three lives and three worlds, from the devil and angel in heaven, they were reincarnated as princes and princesses in the human world. They would fall in love even if the world was destroyed.

It can only be said that although it is a magical animal, Dean Yin has long been integrated into human society and has become a standard otaku mink. He needs all the necessities of a otaku, such as novels, animation, games, and happy water.

"No, not reincarnation."

Ophelia shook her head. "Those so-called reincarnations in novels, because the soul must be reborn to match the new body... The past life and the future life are actually no longer related, they are just similar flowers."

"But Akshia is different."

"I improved the Transmission Crystal to mimic the effect of a heraldic ceremonial robe after it recognizes its master... and directly bound it to her soul."

Ophelia stared at the scene in the light curtain with her eyes: "Her soul is Axia herself."

"If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have been able to see the Night World prompt just now... Normally, that's information only the Night Traveler can see in their minds."

Ophelia paused for a moment, and the dark undead metal surged beside her. It seemed that Ophelia's auxiliary intelligence as a mechanic was analyzing and retrieving information based on the stored database.

After a moment, the flowing undead metal beside her gradually calmed down.

Ophelia raised her head slightly and came to a definite conclusion: "It's not so much reincarnation."

"Rather than that... Axia and the Queen of the Underworld are actually the same person, having lost some of their powers and forgotten some of their memories."

The metallic luster in Ophelia's eyes disappeared in a flash, and turned back to its original crimson color.

"This is the most reasonable explanation for the so-called 'unique destiny requirement' mentioned earlier in the Night World."

"otherwise--"

"If there is an ancient and powerful being who has survived from the Sixth Epoch to this day, and once again enters the historical echoes of the Sixth Epoch through the Night World, is it possible that two of them would be the same person?"

"The so-called uniqueness of fate is probably the rule limiting it in the Night World. Multiple versions of the same person will not appear in the remnants of history."

"Once a similar situation occurs, the Night Traveler will descend directly into the Night World in their original identity."

She spoke calmly, "According to the information stored in my auxiliary intelligence, Miss Axia is an orphan who was accidentally discovered by the former president of Starry University while exploring a ruin and was brought back to the academy for adoption."

"However, Miss Axia has clearly entered the Order of the Death God without ever having studied supernatural knowledge. I even suspect that her Night Blade, called the 'Angel of Death,' wasn't awakened through the Night World, but rather possessed by nature."

"These things seem to be contrary to common sense, at least not consistent with the understanding of the current extraordinary people about the Sequence Long Stage and Night Blade—"

"But what if Miss Axia wasn't born in the Sixth Epoch, but was an ancient from a civilization before the Old Era, and for some mysterious reason, she lost her past memories and powers..."

"Then, at this moment, all the secrets surrounding Miss Axia have a reasonable explanation."

Ophelia once again fixed her gaze on the light screen manifested by the Transmission Crystal: "As for the abnormality she is showing now."

"It's probably because the memories of the Round Table's leader, the Night Traveler Axia, have been temporarily suppressed, and the consciousness of the Queen of the Underworld in the Night World is now dominant..."

"Perhaps this is due to the rules of the Night World, or perhaps it's because her memories of this world are so insignificant compared to her past life, so there's a focus."

"Little ferret—"

Her voice rang in Dean Yin's ears: "What I said should be correct."

On the side, Dean Yin couldn't help but shrink his body into the furry tail again.

The information Ophelia had was exactly the same as Dean Yin's understanding of Akshia.

In this way, all of Akshia's original doubts can be explained.

"However, what you said really doesn't sound appropriate for your age." Dean Yin glanced at the second princess beside him.

She not only doesn't look like a girl of twelve or thirteen.

You know, even the great nobles in the imperial capital would feel like they were facing a formidable enemy when faced with the name of Ophelia.

The only thing that could frighten those cunning nobles who would do anything for profit and power... was naturally someone with a deeper mind than them.

Obviously, other noble heirs should be in the care of the ivory tower, singing songs about butterflies and flowers and praising love, but Ophelia has already been involved in the political whirlpool of the imperial capital, and seems to be at ease.

"After all, I have a sister like that."

Ophelia smiled and said, "Father needs a well-behaved, obedient and sensible princess who can be in the public eye."

"And my father's allies among the nobles, including the people of the entire empire, are also looking forward to a successor with qualified political skills who can continue my father's glory and make the empire great again."

"If I don't shoulder all of this, respond to all of this expectation, and show what they expect..."

"Then wouldn't this pressure, and the undisguised malice from the enemies, naturally fall on Sister Wang?"

"Then, my sister's glory will be stained with dust."

She curled the ends of her brown hair, and a sly curve suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Ophelia's soft mumbling dissipated in the wind, and even Dean Yin didn't hear it clearly:

"However, in the end... I'm afraid those people will be greatly disappointed."

Dean Yin looked at Ophelia and was about to continue asking questions.

But soon, the changes that appeared on the light curtain attracted its attention again.

In the light curtain, the girl on the throne fiddled with the clay doll in her hand for a long time, and finally lost interest in it because she seemed to be unable to find out the reason for its inexplicable appearance.

She carefully placed the clay doll on the armrest beside her and tapped it lightly with her white index finger.

In the dim light of dusk, a book covered with pictures and reliefs quietly emerged between her knees.

It seemed to be a fairy tale book. Through the cover of the book, one could see the hero and heroine of the fairy tale.

A young knight holding a silver sword, and a witch-like heroine shrouded in shadows and dark mist.

The girl with ice-blue hair sat back in her chair, gazing at the fairy tale book in her hands...

From time to time, she reached out and turned the pages of the fairy tale book, her dark purple eyes flickering slightly.

Outside the palace, the faint dusk flowed slowly.

Time seems to be frozen here, as if it will last forever.

PS: There will be another update later.

Chapter 96: Rust: I Have Few Friends (Two in One)

The Shorewatchers' headquarters, the Watchtower.

The waves hit the shore, bringing with them the sound of the cascading and faint tides.

As Last listened to what Cecil, the leader of the shore guards, said, he felt that the amount of information he provided was a bit too complicated.

Let me... lead the shore guards to overturn the so-called "paradise", or the underworld.

And become an insider and infiltrate the gravekeepers?

"To destroy that rumored 'paradise', I can understand that..."

"Because the so-called pure land that can isolate all disasters sounds like an unrealistic and empty pie in the sky."

After all, according to Last's experience in his previous life, if someone suddenly told him that there was a high-paying job abroad with no overtime and two days off a week... then it was likely that the other party was after his kidneys.

If you really go, don't blame others for being open-hearted to you.

"but--"

Rast looked at Cecil in front of him.

"What does it mean to be a spy among the Gravekeepers?"

This was the first time he heard the name "Gravekeeper".
