Hate Me, Miss Witch!

Black flames flow.

When the pale golden writing completely solidified in mid-air, the expression of the old man in black robe also solidified.

?

As a legendary strongman of the Foresta Empire, even though he has not had too much interaction with the cult before, he still has the knowledge that a legend should have.

What is that, the Order of Ashes?

It was just a pile of pure sticky shit, full of thoughts about burning and burning things, something that people hate and dogs hate.

At this moment, the Ashes Order contacted him to secretly prepare for the ceremony of divine descent.

According to his original prediction, the Lord of Ashes' divine descending ceremony would probably not be possible if hundreds or even thousands of people were sacrificed without fire.

It's hard to say that a whole block, or even most of the city, had to be buried.

He had even made preparations in advance, mobilizing his close friends and mobilizing a group of prisoners and slaves from black markets and secret markets in various places to prepare for the needs of the divine descending ceremony.

But at this moment, the pale golden handwriting in mid-air was so clear and clear, leaving no room for misunderstanding.

Buzz——

The sound of the magic crystal vibrating echoed in the empty room.

On the finger of the old man in black robe, a ring exuded clear magical light, spreading throughout the room.

This is the highest level alchemy tool, with formations for dispelling illusions and illusions engraved on it.

However, even if more than ten seconds passed, when the magical light that dispelled the illusion dissipated, the words displayed on the skull of the Giant King still did not change at all.

"Right--"

The old man in black robe took a deep breath and fell into deep thought.

"After all, it's such an important thing as God's descent——"

"This directly involves the fate of the entire empire, and even the redistribution of people's beliefs in the entire Western Continent after the great change."

"The Lord of Ashes is the true God after all. He doesn't usually restrain his believers. He just lets them go crazy and only know how to burn, burn, burn."

"Faced with such an important matter at this moment, I will probably take it seriously and make the ceremony as secretive as possible to avoid being noticed by outsiders and even affecting the progress of the plan."

"And these ritual preparation conditions-"

"Although it seems quite simple, it is indeed related to the burning of authority."

After all, the power to attract the gods comes mainly from the skull holy object.

The biggest role of the so-called ritual is to provide an introduction, as long as the meaning is in place.

The Ashes Order has sacrificed countless souls in the past thousands of years, and perhaps it is not short of the hundreds or thousands that it has prepared.

Thinking like this, the old man in black robe also grasped the inspiration in his heart.

"My lord..."

The confidant beside him saw that the old man in black robe was deep in thought, so he couldn't help but came over and spoke hesitantly.

But I saw the old man in black robe wave his hand——

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you follow the instructions of the Lord of Ashes?"

"According to the instructions of the Lord of Ashes...are we really going to buy beef and cut it into minced meat?"

The confidant hesitated to confirm.

"if not?"

"This is an oracle sent down by the supreme holy object of the Ashes Order. How can it be false?"

The old man in black robe looked coldly at the confidant beside him.

In his heart, he actually had doubts because of the unexpected preparation requirements.

But whether it's the way the sacred objects are traded or the terrifying aura on the white skull, it all proves his character and authenticity.

"To activate the network of relationships throughout the empire, we must perfectly meet the requirements of the ceremony."

"Especially the heat, remember to hire a professional fire element beast master to control it. The final product must be just right, especially if it is mature enough. There can be no deviation at all."

"In addition, everything must be done in secret. The hounds from the military headquarters and the command bureau must not be able to find any trace."

"You should be very clear about the consequences if there are any mistakes in this process."

"nature."

The confidant nodded yes.

Both he and the old man in black robe knew very well that this was a beheading business.

He raised his head and memorized the several ritual requirements written in pale gold handwriting in mid-air.

Before leaving, the confidant suddenly paused at the door and spoke hesitantly.

"Lord, those living sacrifices that we have collected through various secret channels and are ready to be used to complete the fire sacrifice..."

"Process the memory and send it back to where it came from."

The old man in black robe thought for a moment and responded.

Although the empire is large, the sudden disappearance of hundreds or thousands of people may still alert the governing bureau, military department, and the newly established sword-bearing organization.

At this moment, those living sacrifices were of no use, so it was naturally more appropriate to send them back as they were.

"Remember, buy the best quality beef and hire the best chef..."

"yes."

…

then.

A few days later.

Famous chefs from all over the Western Continent, as well as many fifth- and sixth-ring beast masters specializing in the field of fire elements, were invited to the imperial capital under many different names, including "Chef Seminar" and "Fire Beast Exchange Forum" among.

As the name suggests, it is a chef competition and cooking skills discussion.

As for the work he does secretly, it's really just cooking beef.

Fantasy brings embers, Garden of Eden.

"Oh, it's actually so exciting."

Xia Ya was sitting on the sofa in the living room of the spacious villa in the Garden of Eden. While playing with strings, he was secretly observing everything in the imperial capital through the mark he left on the skull of the Giant King.

He also never expected that the legendary young man from the imperial capital would actually carry out the few instructions he casually issued using his spiritual mark so seriously.

Even in order to hide his true purpose from others, he even organized a cooking skills and chef exchange meeting in the imperial capital.

Even the theme of the seminar was chosen as "beef".

Just a few beef-themed shokuji showdowns are just around the corner.

"By doing this, I should be able to contribute to the food desert of the empire, right?"

"I hope that your Royal Highness will remember my good intentions and reward me more when it's time to reward me."

While muttering to himself, Xia Ya took out a few sizzling and oily skewers from the dissipating black flames in the little ferret's resentful eyes.

These days, as the turbulence of history gradually stabilizes, not only Silver, but also Shining and Crimson gradually wake up from the chaos of time and space.

As a result, the Garden of Eden, which had become a little quiet with Xiao Ai's retreat, became lively again.

And the news that Yin successfully advanced to the legendary level and opened up a new legendary race "Snowfield Marten" made both Shining and Red envious.

Obviously everyone has been sleeping in the past ten years, why is it that only the eldest sister has broken through the legend?

They will also become "World Seal Stone Monkeys" and "World Silver Spirits"!

Under the sense of crisis that the master's pillow position was about to be completely occupied by the elder sister's head, both Shining and Red were full of energy at this moment and began to train harder.

However, the reason why the legendary level is known as the natural chasm is naturally not so easy to break through.

After all, there are only a few opportunities like Yin to be able to absorb a supreme holy object of a cult. If you rely solely on training, you can only rely on a long period of accumulation to break through to the legendary level.

Ten years is certainly not a short period of time, but it is nothing compared to the lifespan of a legendary beast that can easily last for thousands of years.

When every one of Char's pet beasts can't wait to break through the legendary level, fearing that they will be left behind, only Yui can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

After all, as the last beast to join the team, it is still enjoying the unique resource bonus of newcomers. Relying on the advantages of the Black Knight mecha and solar furnace, it does not have to worry about its status being shaken.

So when Gin was captured by Char as a skewer tool, and the other two were busy training hard, only Yui used liquid metal to condense the appearance of a miniature fairy, and landed lightly on Char's shoulder. Wagging his legs idly.

"Master, master... the riots in the time and space river have basically subsided. Although there are still small-scale turbulences, it is safe enough for the master's current status."

Xia Ya stared at the skewers sizzling in the black flames: "It's finally time."

"If this is the case, then as long as Xiao Ai comes out of seclusion, we can return to the main material plane."

"Returning to the main material plane means that I can see my mother?"

Yui, who looked like a tiny fairy, blinked on Char's shoulder, and the mercury-condensed wings flapped slightly.

The mother mentioned by Yui naturally refers to Su Lun, the Saint of Dawn.

After all, its birth was partly due to Char, and the other part was due to Su Lun's talent as a mechanic.

Char himself only put forward ideas and drawings, and was not specialized in mechanics. Without the help of the saint, many of his ideas would not be realized.

"Well...but the situation over Su Lun is a bit complicated now."

"She was involved in the Golden Dawn...but it seems that she was not forced, but Su Lun decided to do it on her own initiative. I don't know what the purpose and consideration was."

"You can't be here to harvest the wool of this secret organization like me, right?"

Xia Ya took a bite of the meat skewers grilled by Gin Takumi using Amaterasu and fell into thought.

Although they are good best friends, Su Lun, unlike Xiao Ai, has always had her own wisdom and opinions.

For example, when she and Char were separated in Lugia, even Char had no idea that she would eventually choose to go to Feileng Cui in the Holy Theocracy, and even eventually complete the many tests of the Holy See and become the Virgin of the Dawn.

From this aspect, Su Lun's character is quite similar to that of Charia herself... which makes the Saint of Dawn seem to be Charia's own reflection in the mirror, always covered with a hazy mist. It was a bit difficult for him to see clearly.

"But no matter what, as the Saint of Dawn, her safety in the Holy Court is absolutely guaranteed."

"As for the secret gathering of the Golden Dawn above the black fog, I will be watching, and there should be no problem with safety."

Xia Ya finished the kebab in his hand and frowned slightly: "It's a little burnt."

"Understood, according to your taste, master, reduce the cooking time recorded in the recipe by five to ten seconds."

Yui's crisp response sounded in Char's ears.

"You are so sensible. You are indeed my caring little cotton-padded jacket."

Chara touched the little head of Yui who looked like a fairy.

There was no way, from his perspective as a time traveler - not only the empire, but the entire Western Continent was a complete food desert.

Therefore, in order to satisfy his picky stomach, Xia Ya had to do it himself.

Whether he is cooking by himself, promoting some hometown cuisine recipes in the imperial capital, or asking Xiao Ai to learn how to cook, it can be said to be a helpless move.

But then, Char began to regret the compliment he had just given to Yui.

Because the next moment, he heard the slight footsteps behind him, getting closer and closer from the second floor.

There was also the faint scent of sandalwood coming from his nose, which had been with him day and night for the past ten years and had already been engraved in the depths of Xiaya's soul.

"Obviously when you rescued me in Ceylon... you still said you wanted me to be your beautiful girl, your caring little cotton-padded jacket."

"But now it seems that you have a lot of thoughtful little cotton-padded jackets, classmate Xia Ya."

A pleasant voice sounded in Xia's ears.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a soft and delicate body sit down on the sofa next to him.

Aurora rested her head on Char's shoulder, her sandalwood-scented pale golden hair falling down her forehead and falling on Char's neck, with a slight itch.

Xia Ya noticed two soft little hands on his temples, gently kneading them for him.

"Obviously we have been together for so many years, Xiao Ai, why are you still like this...even jealous of a mechanical pet beast?"

Not to be outdone, Xia Ya pinched the soft little face of the blonde girl. The touch was still as good as before, exactly the same as when the two were still in Ceylon.

Although ten years have passed, Xia Ya found that except for being a little more open-minded, Xia Ya's personality has not changed at all.

Being pinched by Xia Ya, the blonde girl's pretty face turned slightly red.

However, she did not reject him, but took the initiative to put her body into Xia Ya's arms.

Feeling the soft and fragrant body in her arms, Xia Ya also noticed the heat in her heart.

His fingers moved slightly, just about to do something.

But then, Char saw Gin and Yui who had stopped what they were doing and poked their two little heads from the back of the sofa with burning eyes.

"This is an adult's business, what are the children doing to join in the fun?"

He waved his hand, and Yui beside him immediately returned to the form of immortal metal obediently, and returned to the soul covenant space with Silver.

However, despite this, in the soul covenant space, the chatter of the two pet beasts did not stop.

The stock market, which had been shut down for ten years, has opened again with the awakening of the beasts.

At this moment, there is no doubt that Yin has the upper hand.

There is no way, in the stock market simulated by Yui using huge computing power.

If the stocks of Sylvia, the second princess, the master's teacher, and his mother Suellen are fluctuating, any one party may gain the upper hand in a chaotic trend.

So the stock represented by Aurora has been in a bull market for ten years since she and Char entered the embers of the fantasy zone together and began to live in the Garden of Eden.

Today, an extremely huge gap has opened up with other stocks.

"Mom, you have to work harder."

In the soul covenant space.

Looking at the little ferret wagging its tail triumphantly towards her in the Soul Pact Space opposite, Yui couldn't help but murmur to herself softly.

There is no way, as a holder of a full position in Su Lun shares, it can only be inferior to the Xia Ai party fans at this moment. No, it is inferior to the beast.

However, since they are not married yet, there is still a chance for everything.

The Sulon Party will never give up!

…

Along with the pet beasts, they all returned to the soul covenant space.

Xia Ya's hand restlessly touched the blond girl's waist, all the way up.

Well, it's still as flat and steel as ever, unchanged for ten years.

"Is this the legendary steel plate gene that is deeply rooted and more indelible than the dragon bloodline?"

Xia Ya sighed in his heart.

Airola didn't resist his little move, but just moved herself a little closer to Char's arms.

"I'm not jealous because of Yui..."

"It's because of Suellen."

She snuggled into Char's arms and spoke softly.

The breath is warm and moist to the touch.

"When we return to the main material plane, you will definitely go find them."

"Not only Su Lun, but also Sylvia, Her Royal Highness and the others..."

"Are you planning to intervene in the conspiracy secretly planned by the cult to overthrow the empire, and then take this opportunity to return?"

Xia Ya nodded.

"When are those cult groups going to take action?"

He thought for a while: "Tomorrow evening in the time of the main material plane, converted to the current stable time flow rate in the Garden of Eden, there will still be about a week."

Xia Ya did not deny it, because this was what he had to do.

After ten years of separation, it would undoubtedly be a lie to say that Xi Bao, Su Lun and Isadella were not missed in Xia Ya's heart.

And he did not choose to lie, because lies were meaningless in front of the blond girl in front of him who knew him well.

If not, she would not have traveled across thousands of years of history to come to the Fantasy Zone to spend these ten years with herself in the Garden of Eden.

"I knew it."

Aurora sighed softly.

"Actually, the more I get to know you, Xia Ya, the more I understand."

"How difficult it is to be alone."

"but……"

There was a slight pause in her words.

"At least at this moment, at least now--"

"We have not returned to the main material plane, we are still in the Garden of Eden."

She stared at Xia Ya at a very close distance with her beautiful sky blue eyes and spoke word by word.

"So, Char."

"In this last month."

"I want to leave a mark that only belongs to me in your heart."
