As a tyrant, it's reasonable for me to snatch the heroine away

"Claudio, please go down first. I have something to talk to Maria about... alone!"

A solemn look flashed across Chenxing's eyes.

Tell him consciously that this matter... definitely involves a lot of things.

It might even be related to time travel.

Chenxing is not stupid. All the experiences he has had during this period of time have undoubtedly reminded him that this world, this world, should have been a game he once played.

It's completely different from the game I remembered.

Even if the overall structure and framework look the same as I remember.

but.......

A lot of clues and details point to one thing.

In addition to myself, there must be other travelers who have had an impact on this world.

It is even possible...

It had already appeared before me.

Chen Xing is now somewhat suspicious, will the mastermind behind this...

"Yes, Your Highness, then I...will go outside first!"

Clotia knew what His Highness meant.

The meaning of talking alone is naturally that you don’t want to be disturbed by others.

No one else is allowed to eavesdrop.

It's more like letting yourself stay outside than letting yourself leave.

In case...

Although there are some things I want to tell the Saint, His Highness has already given the order...

We can only wait and see.

As Clotia left the room, the door closed again.

The atmosphere in the whole room became noticeably tense.

It was a kind of tension that even made people feel a little suffocated.

Both Chenxing and Maria were silent.

Morningstar also put on the Gaze of Supreme Disaster, and the magic-banning effect instantly enveloped the entire room.

"Now... you can tell me why you, as an enemy, have such an attitude..."

Chenxing propped his chin up with one hand.

Even though Maria showed respect and even submissiveness, Morning Star still did not dare to let his guard down.

Who knows if the "cat replacing the prince" drama of the Dawn Kingdom was deliberately performed for its own benefit?

Perhaps the Maria in front of us, who has restored her original appearance, is indeed very beautiful.

Even with the noble and elegant temperament that the fake saint did not possess, she was not inferior to Agnes at all.

But Chenxing still knows clearly which is more important, beauty or business.

There are plenty of women in the world, and there is no shortage of women around you.

Anyone who is blinded by beauty is a complete fool!

"Before that, please allow me to..."

Although she was still very weak, Maria managed to sit up.

She didn't mind at all that she was only wearing the white gauze dress that Clotia had changed for her.

He just threw back the covers, slowly sat up on the edge of the bed, and bowed deeply in the direction of the morning star.

The black hair slid down along the ears, barely covering the slightly wide collar of the gauze dress.

"Thank you for saving my life, Your Highness."

"Ahem, I told you it's not necessary. After all, I promised Clotia, and I know how to keep my promises."

Chenxing coughed twice and motioned for the other party to stand up first.

I really don’t know what Clotia was thinking. She asked her to find a suitable piece of clothing for Maria to change into, but she found this one?

This size looks strangely familiar...

Maria, on the other hand, didn't seem to care about this kind of thing.

Even in the other person's eyes, there was no sign of affectation; it seemed more like... an unintentional action.

Maybe even Maria herself didn't notice?

"So.... Regarding the question you raised, Your Highness..."

Maria raised her head, without any hesitation or confusion in her eyes.

It seems...there is no intention of covering up.

"If I say... that the Dawn Kingdom was originally a gift given to you by Maria, the Saint of the Abyss and your most loyal believer, would you... believe it?"

Maria said this, her tone extremely respectful.

There was no concealment of the enthusiasm in his eyes.

But what Chen Xing cares about is not the gift, but what the other party just mentioned...

"You mean the most faithful believer?"

Chenxing frowned.

In this world, I am only seventeen or eighteen years old, and I am the king of a country that was originally ranked last among the seven countries. How could there be a believer who does not belong to my own country?

What's more, this believer...

He was also imprisoned by the impostor for several years, and during those years, he never had any contact with the outside world!

Chapter 22 The Secret of the Advent

"That's right. From the moment I became the Saint of the Abyss, I have already...considered you everything to me. This is also the duty of the Saint of the Abyss. I will dedicate everything to you, the last descender of this world, and the one who will change this world as predicted!!"

Maria said a little excitedly.

Even his voice was trembling.

At this moment, she had waited too long to see the other person with her own eyes, to greet him in person, and to say all this in person.

I have been looking forward to it since I was a child.

Looking forward to the appearance of this destined person, the one who can possess everything of mine and is worth risking everything for.

"The Advent? The prophecy?"

Listening to Maria's words, Chenxing frowned even more tightly.

He could understand the term "adventurers", which probably referred to...time travelers.

But what prophecy is this?

These have never been in the original game plot...

"Your Highness must have been to the Falling Dragon Canyon and witnessed the secrets of the dragon race with your own eyes, right?"

"Yes, so the adventers and prophecies you mentioned..."

"About the Adventers... In this world, at regular intervals, there will be beings that do not belong to this world. They will descend into this world due to the influence of unknown forces. From ancient times to the present, in the history that can be verified, there have been a total of nine Adventers, and you are... the ninth, and final, Adventer!"

Maria explained, as if she knew almost all of these secrets.

Not only that, even the identity of the previous adventer...

"The first adventer can be said to be the ancestor of the Holy Empire today. He is the first hero of mankind who made humanity move towards glory. The Holy Trial... Chiba Kyouhei."

"And the few people who came after that were almost all... famous people from other races, or from the other six countries, but..."

"They all died at the hands of the eighth descender who came before you! He was the founder of the current Adventurer's Association, who once had a very evil reputation... Shen Mo."

Maria recounted the clues she had obtained.

And there is no doubt about all this....it made Chenxing fall into shock for a moment.

Is the Trial in the Temple a time traveler?

The first person in history who could be said to be the reason for all the stories in this game was actually the same as himself...

Just from the name, it seems like he is a...Japanese?

Plus the local dialect I noticed at the Dragon Clan Ruins...

Do all time travelers come from the world they once lived in?

and many more!

Thinking of this, Chenxing suddenly noticed a problem.

"You just said that adventers appear every once in a while. Are there multiple adventers appearing at the same time, or is there only one adventer in each time period?"

Thinking about the dragon ruins, Chenxing suddenly realized a very serious problem.

What we know now is that the dragon slayer in the Holy Trial is a time traveler, but if only one descender appears in the same time period...

"According to what my mother told me, under normal circumstances, there will only be one person descending in each time period. Strictly speaking, you should be the third person descending, but..."

"I am the third? But you just said..."

"Because when the second Adventer appeared, or rather, the second time the Adventer appeared, no one knew what caused the number of Adventers to increase from one to... seven! That's why the other Adventers were eliminated by one person."

After listening to Maria's explanation, Chenxing also understood.

In the dragon ruins, the "he" mentioned by the dragon princess in her last words was Chiba Kyohei, the first generation of the Holy Trial who slaughtered the entire dragon clan.

Now it really looks like...

But what about the messages left in my hometown dialect in the ruins?

Could it be that the person who preserved the appearance of the Dragon Princess and stayed there was not the Templar Judgment, but the Shen Mo mentioned by Maria?

But why did Shen Mo...

There are too many unknown secrets in this world...

Perhaps it is just as I guessed, it is no longer the game world called Starry Sky in my memory.

Both the Adventers and these things were situations that Morning Star had never dared to imagine.

No wonder Melody said something that could determine the identity of the time traveler.

Since Shen Mo, as a time traveler, is the founder of the Adventurer's Association, then as the vice president of the Adventurer's Association, would he not know each other?

but.......

"You just mentioned... prophecy?"

This time, Chenxing actually...believed Maria's words a little.

Even if it's just temporary belief.

After all, everything that happened during this period can only be explained by Maria's statement.

But Maria also mentioned... a prophecy?

Morning Star could guess that the so-called prophecy must be related to the Adventers.

But why did it have to be me? And why did I say... that I was the last one to come?

Will there be no other time travelers in the future?

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I don't know the content of the prophecy yet. According to my mother, the Goddess of the Abyss, there are only a few people in this world who know about this prophecy. My mother has given me the task, and my duty as the Saint of the Abyss is to take you to the location of the prophecy, Blood Moon Island!"

"Blood Moon Island?"

"That's right. In order to completely destroy the prophecy and bring destruction to the world, Shen Mo, as the Adventer, chose to eliminate all other Adventers and completely destroyed the source of the Adventers' appearance. That's why that Adventer was called the Extreme Evil..."
