Hate me, Miss Witch

Chapter 113 You are the leaf bathing in the sun, and I am the root buried deep (three-in-one)

"dawn?"

Isadella repeated the unfamiliar word in her mind.

"Yes."

A vague voice floated out from the swirling mask.

Through the pores of the whirlpool mask, a pair of dark eyes can be seen.

The masked man who calls himself Cain and wears a black robe with red clouds has deep, uncertain eyes as he scans the damaged city wall in the distance.

There were also the refugees who were alarmed by the violent explosion and were watching the group of abyss monsters fleeing in all directions. They were confused and confused. They didn't know what was happening, let alone whether they should continue to escape.

"This world is full of war, tragedy, and suffering..."

Cain's voice was long.

Or is it because his arrival created a butterfly effect, which is contrary to history?
……

Then, he reached out his hand to Cain.

If an ordinary person said such words, she would probably just listen to them and not really believe them.

As the future lord of the Foresta Empire, if a random speaker could convince her by painting a cake, the empire would have been completely deceived long ago.

"It's good that you can become a prophet, but what surprises me even more is what you said."

Looking at Cain from "Akatsuki" in front of her, Isadella's eyes moved slightly.

"A bright future that is completely different from Vortigern and all the famous knights and noble lords in this land."

Cain's eyes were distant, as if they had penetrated through the eternity of time and reached directly into the distant future.

"Whether you pull out the sword in the stone or not, you will unswervingly embark on the road to becoming a king...More important than your identity and bloodline as a king, you have the heart of a king."

"Speaking of which, I haven't even introduced myself yet."

"Although you are still young, I can see the future from you."

"Then I would be disrespectful."

Obviously his rank is not too high, but when the tide of monsters came just now, he actually used himself as bait to stop the monsters from the abyss and protected the lives of thousands of refugees in this town.

Becoming a king and living in a high position for a long time means that you will inevitably be watched and discussed by all the people... Whether it is praise, applause or gossip, Isadella has long been used to it.

She smiled and put the pulled out sword in the stone into the scabbard of her previous knight's practice sword.

"Then from now on, we may have to deal with each other."

Thinking of this, Isadella's eyes couldn't help but soften a little.

Isadella thought for a moment and said her pseudonym in this world: "Artolis."

Although he didn't know how Cain used to protect himself from the aftermath of the huge explosion, no matter what, that kind of behavior represented a huge risk.

In the empire of later generations, there were eight sworn families and the Knights of the Round Table.

"Perhaps, you can really be the light that illuminates Esgania's troubled times."

"The... dawn that changed the world?"

Having met so early, it stands to reason that they should leave traces in the future.

However, as she silently recited Xiao's name in her heart, some doubts arose in Isadella's heart.

"This is also the original intention of the Akatsuki organization I created - to create a peaceful world like the rising sun."

However, the masked man in front of him who claimed to be from "Akatsuki" was different.

But Isadella already had a corresponding awareness in her heart.

Such a pure organization has such a leader that I admire.

He is not the kind of idealist who only talks about things, but actually puts his life on the line to implement his philosophy that will become the "twilight that changes the world."

After all, everyone can talk about great truths and great ideals, but very few can actually achieve them.

"If you, and the "Akatsuki" behind you, really want to be the dawn that lights up this world. "

"That's why I founded Xiao...Similarly, I am also looking for like-minded companions."

The other person's praise may seem a little exaggerated to others.

Char reached out and shook hands with the silver-haired knight in front of him.

……

"Of course, I know that with my own strength... I can save a village or a town... but it is impossible to save a huge country."

"And becoming the Dawn that changes this world... is the connotation of the Akatsuki organization."

His eyes were locked on Isadella.

However, she had never heard of the names of Xiao and Cain.

"The one who can pull out the sword in the stone will be the new king of Esgania."

"My name——"

That hand was not very strong, but it contained power that made Charia feel alarmed.

[The important character "King of Knights"'s favorability towards you increases by 10 points, and the current favorability is: 20 (acquaintance)]

"He is worthy of being the most powerful person who will establish the Foresta Empire and ascend the throne in the future. It is not easy to gain some favorability."

Xia Ya secretly said in his heart.

Just as the other party was sizing up Cain, the first generation member of the Akatsuki organization, Char was also sizing up the young knight in front of him through the pores of the whirlpool mask, who was also the future King of Knights.

He has silver hair and red eyes, and his figure is not as burly as a traditional knight, but rather slender, even petite.

The beautiful outline of her face made Char subconsciously think of the second princess Isadella.

But this is not surprising. After all, the founding emperor of the Foresta Empire in front of him is Isadella's ancestor. There is a blood connection, and it makes sense that the appearance is somewhat similar.

The other party was still wearing coarse clothes and looked young and immature. He was about the same size as when Char first met Sylvia in the reverberations of history.

But in complete contrast to the difficulty of the novice mission, Char could sense extremely strong self-confidence in every word and deed of this silver-haired knight.

This is a born king, as if he has been a template for the "ideal king" since his birth. Even though he is still young and has just been recognized by the Sword in the Stone, his pride is already difficult to conceal.

It's no wonder that Xia Ya's performance just now didn't gain too much favorability. He just crossed over from the "strange" stage to the "acquaintance" level.

“But the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.”

"The more difficult it is to achieve, the more generous the reward will be."

At this moment, Xia Ya felt herself getting excited.

He likes this kind of challenging thing.

And the most important thing is that it is different from the historical reverberation of Cangting Ancient Kingdom.

In this historical reverberation, Xia Ya has completely understood that she has no worries about being called upon like Sylvia.

In other words, he can flex his muscles to his heart's content.

"If the favorability once is not enough, then brush it up a hundred times, a thousand times."

"Although the historical details of the old era have long been difficult to verify, the path of the Knight King's fortune can still be traced."

"Having mastered the prophetic information, I want every major node in this historical reverberation to be written with the reputation of Cain and Akatsuki."

"When necessary, you can also pretend to be a magic stick and a prophet to gain trust."

With the advantage of intelligence, Xia Ya has come up with many different ways to play.

"Moreover, I seem to have some kind of immortality..."

Chara touched her robe.

Just now, he was in the center of the tide of monsters and detonated all the "explosive clay" prepared in the pocket of the flashing space in one breath.

The amount of detonation in one breath almost catches up with the original art of Patrick Star.

According to that explosion range, even if you use flash, you can't escape the center of the explosion. After all, the use of flash is limited by the cooling time and maximum distance.

In fact, Char didn't hide at all, but directly ate the huge explosion at the center of the explosion that consumed all the detonating clay.

He also wanted to test whether the ultra-high temperature and impact in the explosion center could really kill him. Of course, before doing so, Char took off his Akatsuki black robe and red cloud robe.

It was cut out by Silver and Crimson after a lot of effort. It was just one piece. If it was really blown up, it would be useless.

And it turns out.

Exploding clay cannot kill Char.

Although at the moment of detonation, the ultra-high temperature sublimated most of his body into ashes and powder.

But Xia Ya can still clearly feel the touch that those ashes and powder can still convey as part of her body.

Then, as his thoughts struck.

The ashes and powder regrouped in an instant, growing flesh and blood.

outrageous.

This is no longer high-speed self-healing or super-speed regeneration.

It's completely conceptual immortality.

"In terms of pure power and destructiveness, the detonating clay just now has reached the legendary level."

"This can't really kill me..."

"In other words, if you want to kill me, you have to rely on the throne?"

Char watched the silver-haired knight in front of him say goodbye to him, then stood up and walked toward the town and the frightened refugees.

It must be said that this young knight king is indeed worthy of the title of "Ideal King".

In a very short period of time, the other party quickly gained the trust of the refugees. Even some of the knights around him who were dissatisfied after knowing that he had pulled out the sword in the stone, after a brief discussion, also expressed their dissatisfaction. It expressed its approval.

Some people even made an oath on the spot to become a squire knight and follow the new king who had pulled out the sword in the stone.

Soon, instructions were issued one after another.

The refugees gathered together and began to move towards areas where abyss monsters were rare, while the knights patrolled and guarded in case abyss monsters attacked again.

"I don't know if any of these people are future Knights of the Round Table or ancestors of the eight major oath families..."

Xia Ya looked at the people who started to migrate, thoughtfully.

He definitely had to unlock the fourth soul contract, not only to get one more contracted beast, but also to find out the truth behind it. From the reverberations of history he traveled through coming true... to the strangeness of the fourth soul contract, and the inexplicable triggering of his immortality, there were too many anomalies in his body.

If he doesn't fully understand the truth of all this, Xia Ya will not be able to feel at ease. He is not the kind of character who finds something wrong but still sits back and waits for death.

"A throne-level existence... I do know Sylvia in reality, but my eldest wife will definitely not be willing to do anything to me."

"Besides, it's best not to let others know the secret of immortality until I figure it out myself."

"So, if you want to experience a real death, I'm afraid you can only ask Artolis."

Looking at the slender back of the silver-haired knight, Char nodded.

That was the future King of Knights, at least at the throne level, and maybe even stronger than Sylvia.

As for the script, isn’t that obvious?

The Akatsuki organization, which was originally established with the purpose of "dawn that changes the world," faced the cruelty of the war, slowly deteriorated, and began to go dark... and eventually became the mastermind behind the war, which is reasonable.

They were like-minded companions at first, but their fates took completely opposite paths.

Light and darkness, justice and evil... It is simply the most perfect and classic script, the kind you will never get tired of.

"But having said that, as the mastermind behind the future villain, it's too shabby for me to be the only founder."

Xia Ya's thoughts moved slightly, and she summoned the red dumpling in the form of a star spirit body and held it in her arms.

"Chihong, later you can also cut out some uniforms and put them on for yourselves to support our Akatsuki organization's reputation."

"Mimi~(me?)"

Little Silver Spirit was also a little confused as to how his own beast master could put together such genius ideas.

We are just pet animals, so we have to bear too much.

"It's okay. I'm just here to make up for it anyway. I cover myself with a robe, a mask, support my body with silver elements, and then use my mental power to block my perception."

"Who knows whether it's a human or an animal inside."

Xia Ya pinched the red dumpling and said: "It's decided, but in order to prevent any classics from being passed down and leaving flaws for us to die in the real society, you all have to change your name."

"Chihong, what you say——"

Xia Ya thought for a while.

"In this remnant of history, let's change our name to Shana from now on."

"Mimi Mi~ (Master, I like this name, it matches you very well)"

After being around Xiaya for a long time, even his pet beasts have learned some popular words.

"Hey~"

In the soul covenant space, Yin You screamed resentfully and pushed his head into his big furry tail.

Plastic sister flowers are indeed plastic sister flowers.

If there is a chance to sneak away, there will be no hesitation at all.

Really pissed off the mink.

……

Different from the first novice mission, Xia Ya's scope of activities was only limited to the surroundings of the capital of Cang Ting Duke.

This time's official mission, the reverberations of history fully encompassed the entire territory of Esgania.

Moreover, it seems that due to the fusion of the Sands of Time, Char's time and space affinity has been greatly improved.

Even though several months had passed, he still didn't notice the raw feeling of being rejected by the long river of time, and the time limit he could stay was greatly increased.

But it was during these few months that the situation in Esgania had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Isadora, named after Artolis, rose like a comet and made her own name in the chaotic land of Esgania.

With the bonus of being the child of prophecy of the Sword in the Stone, coupled with her own strength, she also has extremely strong leadership abilities.

In less than a year, Isadella gained the support and support of the nobles and high knights throughout Esgania.

The coalition of knights united with Isadella as the core. Perhaps because they had been suppressed for too long, the knights and princes who finally found the backbone burst out with extremely amazing combat power.

Under the leadership of Isadora, they achieved great victories in several battles, defeated the coalition forces of Vortigern and the monsters of the abyss, and recovered large areas of lost territory.

Along the way, they also cleared away the remaining abyssal creatures in the wilderness, as well as the overflowing rogues and horse bandits.

All this happened in just a few months, because of the speed of news transmission in troubled times, when Vortigern, the Holy See of Dawn and other other parties really began to pay attention to this emerging coalition of knights and nobles.

But they were shocked to find that they had actually rebuilt a land of order in the chaotic land.

No matter in terms of scale or size, it can vaguely compete with the power of the Holy See and Vortigern, becoming the fourth pole in this chaotic land.

As the leader of the coalition and the existence in the prophecy, Isadella also received a brand new title.

The ideal king, the knight among knights - the "King of Knights".

However, at the same time, the name of the King of Knights rose like a comet.

Together with them, there are two other names that resound throughout the entire Esgania territory.

"Black Knight" - Cain.

And, Akatsuki Organization.

There were countless strong men and nobles gathered around Isadella, including even those with six rings.

However, they all seemed eclipsed in front of the black-haired knight.

He was not Isadella's subordinate, but he was never absent from every key battle and took the lead.

Even the most powerful general had to admit that in front of the black knight, all their bravery was meaningless.

Every time you charge, you will be trapped in the enemy's formation, facing a desperate situation of no life or death.

However, whenever he walked out of the mountains of corpses, he was always unscathed, and even the Akatsuki organization robe with black background and red clouds was not stained with blood.

No one had ever seen the black knight look like when he was injured.

He has gone through hundreds of battles without being injured, and some people even gave him a new title because of this - "King of Battles".

Then Cain himself stopped him with a black line and forcibly banned the title.

The "Akatsuki" organization behind him is equally famous, having saved people from monster tides and wars at countless critical moments.

The connotation of "the dawn that changes the world" has also been sung by countless refugees, and even wearing a robe with a black background and red clouds has become a trend and fashion.

……

"Cain."

"You and your Akatsuki organization really don't need any compensation?"

"Territory, title, power under one person...or beauty."

"Although the current conditions are still a bit difficult, based on the achievements of you and the Akatsuki organization, these requests are reasonable."

On the city wall, I watched the black knight return unscathed from the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

Isadella couldn't help but speak.

She is not a king who doesn't understand people's hearts.

Regardless of the historical repercussions or reality, Isadella, who is expected by all people as the "ideal king", is demanding herself with the most stringent principles of honesty and integrity.

But she also knows very well that this kind of honesty and integrity can only be used to restrain herself, but it can never be used to restrain others.

Everyone has selfish motives, and there are only a few honest saints.

If you want to be truly what the people want, then there must be no ambiguity when it comes to discussing merit and giving rewards.

This is also true. Under a system like hers, the cohesion of the coalition of nobles and princes has become stronger and stronger, and they can often exert far greater combat effectiveness in battle than before.

However, this is not the case for Cain and Akatsuki behind him.

Although the other party never really announced that he would join her camp, Isadella knew very well that if it weren't for Cain's fearless bravery and the Akatsuki organization's extremely terrifying intelligence-gathering capabilities, she would have predicted it every time. If the enemy had the upper hand, she would never be able to win consecutive battles and gain massive military exploits in such a short period of time.

Although he has obviously contributed a lot to himself, Cain has never taken the initiative to ask for remuneration.

It seems that apart from realizing the original intention of "dawn", there is nothing else to pursue.

"If you must give it, then just give me some gold, silver and jewelry."

The black-haired knight wearing a black robe with red clouds smiled casually and spoke lazily.

Isadella was silent.

So-called gold, silver, and jewelry are the most worthless things in this troubled world.

After all, in this chaotic world, the trade market has long since collapsed, and tangible benefits such as titles and fiefdoms are far less attractive.

Obviously, Cain just mentioned it casually because he insisted, and did not really care about the money of gold, silver and jewelry.

After taking the money, he had nowhere to spend it.

next moment.

Isadella saw the black knight walking up to the city wall.

He used his dark eyes to scan through the pores of the whirlpool mask and scanned the city walls where the residents were living and working in peace and contentment.

"You are the leaf bathing in the sun, and I am the root buried deep."

"I don't care about things like power, status, territory, etc."

Cain's words were still hazy, but they carried a profound meaning.

"As long as, in the end, you can bring peace to this land."

"Then, I will be satisfied enough to create a new country of our ideal."

It was at the same time that Xia Ya's words were finalized.

He saw the words appearing on the light screen in his mind.

[The important figure "King of Knights"'s favorability towards you increases by 5 points]

[The current favorability level is: 50 (trust)]
