In the center of the plain, the black-haired boy looked at the ancestor in front of him with confusion. He didn't know what Estrede's words meant. As a last resort, Roja could only turn his gaze to Antonio and found the head of the academy at this time. Very embarrassed.
The round-frame reading glasses that I usually like to wear are nowhere to be found, the robe on my body also has a lot of dust, and the long stick in my hand is overused, but the most important thing is the beard that used to be very eye-catching, now it has disappeared. Mostly.
Such an appearance, it is definitely not believed that the dean of the academy, it is like a hard worker who just crawled out of the black coal kiln, but now the image of Antonio is not in the scope of Roja's consideration at all, and he really cares about only one thing. The thing, that was the situation at the scene, and after understanding Roja's doubts, the head of the academy, Antonio also spoke.
"Don't worry, Paul will be fine, just look at the reaction of Lord Caroline."
"Um?"
Roja blinked when he heard Antonio's words, and suddenly realized that there had been no sound from Caroline's side since Paul appeared, and even the appearance of the tribe Astrid, who had not been seen for a thousand years, did not respond.
"Ancestor Caroline is..."
"The next thing needs to be solved by themselves."
Antonio shook his head as he said, and behind him, Paul also started sprinting with all his strength.
-------------------------------------------------- -------
Is there anything in this world that can make Caroline stop? Before that, the answer to this question must be considered to be no. After all, it is difficult to give up for people who are affected by the madness of the savior. What's more, it's the goal that has been striving for for thousands of years.
Roja has seen countless people for so long. From the heroes of ancient times to the rulers of human beings, Roja has deep contact, but in terms of determination, no one can interact with Caroline is on par.
Caroline’s willpower is the magic weapon that has supported her through all kinds of dangers during those turbulent years, but now it is also a stone that hinders Roja and even her own, even if it is a death battle. Its digestion.
However, when Paul Aqiman's figure appeared next to Roja, everything changed. The black-haired woman stared incredulously when she saw Paul, and only the golden pupils remained. Leave him alone.
Roja, who had fought to death until now, was ignored by her, and Estrede and Antonio who arrived later could not get into her eyes. Caroline, who was covered in blood, gasped and stared at the teenager who was gradually approaching her. It is full of incredible.
"This face, offspring? No, how could it be possible in a thousand years... Don't come here!"
Looking at Paul who was approaching, Caroline roared in a little panic, the curse power around her body was released, and the heavy pressure engulfed the neighborhood.
"!"
Under Caroline's coercion, the black-haired teenager who was advancing tilted, and Roja at the back frowned.
The coercion of Source Level 1 is no different from an attack for Paul now. The load on his body is unimaginable. I am afraid it is no different from carrying a mountain on his back. However, even so, the black-haired boy is still advancing.
The curse power was sprayed on his body, and the white armor on Paul suddenly burst into light. In this light, his steps were lightened and his body straightened again.
"Wait, that armor is..."
Looking at the shining armor on Paul, a strong sense of sight suddenly appeared in Roja's heart. After thinking about it for a while, the boy suddenly looked at Caroline on the other side, finally remembering where he had seen it.
Although it was very old and was basically damaged in the battle with Roja, Paul's armor was indeed exactly the same as the broken armor that had always protected Caroline, and even the breath was exactly the same.
"How come? Paul's armor should be made by his own ability, how could it be the same as the ancestor's body?"
"The question is very simple, because Caroline's armor was originally made by Paul."
"what?"
Hearing what Estrede said, Roja frowned deeply and was even more confused in his heart, but after thinking for a while, suddenly something came to mind.
I remember that in the historical fragments, Estherid did say that at the end of the second era, Caroline did not fight alone, but formed an alliance with the Aqiman clan. Considering Paul’s ability and mysterious origin, could it be Say... ...
"Yes, now his name is Paul, but he used to have another name..."
Turning her head to look at the galloping boy, the black-haired and rainbow-eyed woman said with a sigh, and revealed the truth under Roya's gaze.
"He is Charles Aqiman."
-------------------------------------------------- -------
Charles Aqiman, this name may be a bit strange to people nowadays, but it is a revelation to historical researchers like Roja, and the reason is very simple, because this person's life is too dramatic.
If history is a stream of water that will eliminate most of the names of people, then Charles Aqiman is the real gold washed by the stream, which cannot be forgotten even for a thousand years.
He is the lord who has reached the top throne of human power at a young age. He is also the parting monarch who led mankind to move westward to create history when the country was destroyed. He is praised, rejected, praised, and jealous by people of future generations.
During his reign, the human empire had escaped from the war and achieved a brief resurgence of glory. However, people at that time probably did not know that it was just a reflection of the ancient empire, and afterwards it was a deeper darkness and abyss.
The Turin change and the westward migration are a major event inscribed in the memory of humans in the Shia world, and it is also the reason for the formation of the current world pattern. However, there are few records in the history of each country about what happened thousands of years ago. The evaluation of Charles himself is also mixed.
Some people think that he is a sage with bad luck, and some people think that he is an ominous person who was disgusted by Shia and punished him, but in any case, he has left a deep mark in history, even death. Also full of mysteries.
The historical record of Charles himself was that he died of illness on the way to the west, but the facts are divergent. In other words, anyone with a bit of common sense will find this record a bit unreliable.
Although Charles's strength at the time was unknown, he was at least a high-level transcendent. It is suspicious that people who have greatly alienated their bodies will die at a young age, and considering the environment at the time, it is almost impossible to have no conspiracy.
In the records of the Church of St. Mestre, it is suspected that Charles was defeated in the struggle with the great aristocrats of the Austin Empire and was eliminated by the great aristocrats who held power. In the country of scholars, it is suspected. He was assassinated and killed by a believer who was hiding in the crowd at the time.
But in any case, Charles’s death should be certain. If someone pointed to Paul and said that this person was Charles, Roja would probably laugh out. But when this person was Estrede who had lived in that era, Luo Ya could only put her smile on her face.
"Paul is Charles the Great? How is this possible? He is a classmate of my college..."
After a moment of daze, Roja shook his head to refute, and the question was indeed sharp.
No matter what kind of spell it is, it may be possible to look younger, but it is absolutely impossible for the body to rejuvenate and regenerate. Even with time spells, it can’t be done. Paul grew up under the nose of Roja. Strong.
Not to mention anything else, it's just that Paul is already a long taller than he was the first time. Charles looked at the tall man from the portrait and couldn't pretend to be a child at all. Could he still have his legs sawn
Roja, with his head full of question marks, was meditating for the answer. Suddenly there was a wave of curse power in front of him. What followed was Caroline's clear attitude, who seemed to know something, and an angry warning.
"I said, don't come here?"
"Sorry, Caroline, I can't agree to that."
"Have I asked your opinion?"
In the calm but angry voice, Caroline waved her hand gently, and Paul, who was approaching, was immediately knocked back and flew back by the invisible wave. However, the black-haired boy did not give up. After rising from the ground, what did Paul do? Without saying, immediately walked towards Caroline again.
So in front of Roja and others, this situation began to repeat itself repeatedly. Facing Paul’s approach, Caroline constantly waved his arms to fly him. However, even though he was covered with dust, even if there was blood on his head, Paul still There is no shrinking.
The first time, the second time, the tenth time, and the number of times that Roja did not count. Paul kept falling to the ground, but he kept getting up again, and walked back to the battlefield where he couldn't fight at all.
"Hey... ... "
Looking at the boy who was constantly injured and his steps heavier and heavier with the passage of time, Roja's expression gradually changed. He stared at Paul, who was still moving forward with a broken leg. However, Estherid stopped him.
"My ancestor? What the hell is this doing? If this goes on, Paul will probably..."
"No, this is what he owes her, we can't intervene, and... it's almost reaching the limit."
"Hey?"
As she said this, Estherald looked at Caroline in front of her and let out a sigh, while in the center of the gravel, the black-haired and golden-eyed woman choked with tears in her eyes.
"I said don't come here? What the hell are you doing?"
"Sorry, even after so many years, my strength is still completely incomparable to you."
Paul, who was trembling with his knees, stood up, covered in trauma and coughing up blood from the corner of his mouth, said with a wry smile, and seeing such a teenager, Caroline's eyes widened slightly, recalling the deepest memory in her mind. Of the image.
It was in the gloomy castle, a young figure who was struggling to build up an ideal because he admired a woman who hated him, came to challenge again and again, and was defeated again and again.
"The same is true for us in the past. I will challenge and be easily defeated by you. There is no chance in such a cycle."
"...Since you know that there is no chance, and since knowing that it is all in vain, what are you doing standing up?"
"In terms of strength, there is indeed no chance, but it is not in vain. Only today, I absolutely want to win, and I absolutely want to be by your side. I did not give up in the past, and this time it is the same until you are willing to let me walk by your side. , I will keep getting closer."
Gritting her teeth and standing up again, Paul started the journey for an unknown number of times. In front of him, the black-haired woman trembled. She slowly raised her hand, tears gleaming in her golden eyes. .
"No, Paul can't hold on for a few rounds."
Seeing this scene, Roja, who had been observing this for a long time, became anxious in his heart, but Estrid on one side had a calm face. She looked at Caroline in front of her and said suddenly:
"This time, it should be the last time."
"Hey?"
Hearing Edvia’s words, Roja’s face appeared in doubt, but before the words fell, Caroline’s hands that had already gathered the curse power suddenly trembled, and the strong shock wave turned into wind and haze, and Paul Seeing the opportunity to fully stimulate the armor on his body, he charged forward.
"boom!"
Amid the explosion and smoke, Paul’s white armor was completely shattered, and his body had countless injuries. However, even so, his body was still moving forward, and the floating smoke was left behind by him. In front of him, there was a dark-haired woman with wide-eyed eyes.
The moment the eyes met, time seemed to stand still. After a thousand years of time, the two who had vowed never to betray once again met again. The man opened his arms and hugged Caroline in his arms, and the two immediately fell towards him. ground.
-------------------------------------------------- -------
One hundred and thirty-two times, this was the number of times Paul rushed to Caroline, and it was also the reason why Estrede was sure that the teenager would succeed this time.
In the dim castle thousands of years ago, a young man named Charles fell in love with a woman who hated him deeply. In fact, when he first approached that woman, Charles only wanted to help him get the throne, but he did not expect it. The thing is, only at the first glance, he is completely fallen.
It was a starless night, and Caroline, dressed in black in the dim castle, was like a butterfly in the moonlight. She appeared in front of Charles blankly, the golden light in her eyes was the only light that day.
The light illuminates in the dim castle, igniting Charles's heart like a flame, and it has been consistent for decades since then.
In order to get close to that woman, Charles desperately studied knowledge and strengthened his strength. However, with the understanding of the history of the two races, and with the increasing understanding of the human situation and the Twilight Sage Association, Charles unknowingly gave birth to another wish. , That is to reproduce the glory of the past mankind.
Such a wish was simply a fantasy in that era, but for the love in his heart, Charles did not give up and began to make rapid progress.
During the day, he dragged his bruised body to learn knowledge, and at night, he rushed to the unique "date" of two people. Such a life seemed extremely hard to outsiders, but Charles felt that it was extraordinarily fulfilling.
In the process, the nobles who discovered the potential of the youth began to gather around him, making the help of women no longer necessary, but for the greater ideals in their hearts, for the burning of their hearts, which became deeper and deeper with time. Love, Charles is still working hard.
In this process, he obtained the final plan of the Alders hundreds of years ago, and based on this, proposed a new idea, preparing to solve the sword of Damocles that has been hanging over humans for thousands of years in one fell swoop.
A great goal was established in his heart, and he had the same ideal with that woman. Such a situation made Charles even more eager for each other. However, even so, the bloody enmity between the two races is still an almost irreparable barrier and obstacle.
Every time he was knocked to the ground, Charles felt this deeply. However, facing this estrangement, the young man did not give up, but became more and more courageous. In the end, the bottomless hatred ended up being 130 After twelve bloody battles were smoothed out, everything finally started.
"So that's the case, is this the reason why you said this time, Master Ancestor, it will definitely end?"
Hearing the number said by Estrede and the story of Charles and Caroline, the ancient Austin emperors thousands of years ago, Roja's eyes flashed. He looked at the two who fell, and suddenly appeared in his heart. There was a lot of emotion.
As the saying goes, Jincheng’s gold and stone are open, even people like Caroline are not really hard-hearted. They also have important people in their hearts, and when they heard Roja’s question, Estrede clicked. nod.
"Well, although Charles violated the agreement, how can people's feelings change so easily, not to mention decades of precipitation."
Looking at the figures of two people in the distance talking about something, Astrid's eyes showed a little envy, and she continued to speak:
"A strong-willed person like Caroline is either indifferent or emotional. If he really resents Charles, then Paul would have died the moment he saw her."
"That's it... But do I have to hit one hundred and thirty-two times?"
Looking at the blood-stained young man, Roja drew his face and asked. Unexpectedly, Estride had a big reaction after hearing the words. The black-haired and rainbow-eyed woman nodded very firmly, and then spoke seriously. road:
"Of course, it was Charles who was at fault. If he didn't even have this sincerity, let alone Caroline, I would never let him go."
"That's it."
Looking at Estherid with a serious expression, Roja nodded without knowing why. He was more curious about the situation of Paul and the two of them. However, before he could inquire in detail, Antonio came back with a comatose Alyssa. Seeing this, Roja hurried forward to check.
In the previous battle, because the final blow with Caroline was too expensive, after the end of the competition, neither Roja nor Caroline had enough energy to support the existence of the ancient gods. Gurandall and others were there. Time disappeared, and Idavia is no exception.
However, unlike other ancient gods, Edavia was still carrying Eliza at the time, and the latter was in a coma. After this point, Antonio, whose image was severely damaged and who knew the direction of Edvia’s escape, took the initiative to ask. With the efforts of the academy, the silver-haired girl was finally sent back to Roja.
Looking at Alyssa, whose soul has settled down and her body is not in any serious trouble, Roja sighed with relief. However, looking at such a young man, Antonio's expression became worried. After all, Roja's situation is far better than that of Ari. Sha is much more serious.
"Roya, do you want to take a break?"
"No, let's just rest. After all, once I rest, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand up for a while."
Feeling the only slight power remaining in the body after Xia's transformation, the black-haired boy smiled wryly, and then looked at the two with a serious expression and said:
"Ancestor Estreide, Dean Antonio, can you tell me something?"
"What is it?"
"About the details of the final plan of the Acate family a thousand years ago."
