"But what you did was no less than that His Majesty! In fact, to us, you are the savior! You are our eternal hope!"
"That's a bit serious, huh? I just did what I had to do... By the way, where's Emily?"
"In Shadow City, he might be playing with Bariu now..."
"Then I'll go over there first. Take good care of this child. Her spirit has been severely polluted. You can't detect it with conventional means."
"Ah? How could this be..."
"I already know about the Eclipse. Don't go there. It's not something you can touch."
Who is this new voice?
Tilan was full of doubts.
It seems to be the person who spoke in the dream just now...
Is it a woman?
Sounds like a very comfortable feeling...
Master Luca respected her very much, and her identity seemed to be...
Alas?
Something - like a hand pressed on the center of her eyebrows.
Something cold came in.
It also seemed like it was being pulled out.
The dizzy feeling improved instantly, but was followed by endless sleepiness.
She seemed to be wanting to sleep again.
"Go to sleep."
The voice rang in my ears.
"In my dreams."
"May you be at peace."

I'll post a chapter of almost 8k first, and there will be another chapter at noon. Ahem, I was very emotional last night, so I'll postpone it a little.
Chapter 9 Eye of Light (Two in One)
If you had asked Wright-Sally seriously before today what it felt like to see an old friend, he would definitely answer nonchalantly, "Just like that."
But this person gave him the feeling that there was more to him than just that...
She was no longer wearing an eye mask. Except for a section of hair hanging in front of her left eye, the rest of her silver-gray hair was tied up behind her head, highlighting her perfect facial features.
On the top is a white shirt with a black scarf, and in the middle is a long skirt, which is black and the hem makes it look thicker.
In particular, the hem of the skirt is very narrow. Although it only reaches her ankles, you can tell at a glance that it is designed for a "woman" rather than a "girl".
She could handle it... because her figure was indeed more mature than before.
The lower part was not very clear because of the misty silver. She also had a black coat draped over her shoulders. The coat obviously did not match her outfit. Wright couldn't help but wonder if it was put on by her "lover" in a hurry.
After all, she had changed so much, from her face to her figure to her temperament and clothes... Most importantly, he was not deaf. The clear and gentle tone she spoke when she mentioned "Emily" just now... He could only guess that it was her child.
"Long time no see, Mr. Sally." Hitzfeld shook his head slightly, the hair covering his left eye swaying slightly, and he looked with only his clear blue eyes, "It's been seven years since we last saw Dragon Country?"
what?
Not only was Wright stunned, but even Moore next to him was confused.
Didn't they separate just over a year ago?
If we only count the years, it's only been two years. How bad must one's memory be to count two years as seven?
"Oh! This is my mistake..." Hitzfeld soon realized the problem and patted his forehead with his right hand. "It should have been only about two years outside of 'Overlap'... Well, we don't need to pay attention to such details. I heard them say that you have lost your inherited talent?"
"Yes."
"This is normal."
"...?"
To be honest, seeing the brothers showing such confused expressions at the same time, Hitzfeld wanted to laugh.
But it is indeed normal: Time Dragons have extraordinary talents, which allow them to see brief scenes of the past and future - pictures involving the future are rarely triggered, and may only be triggered once in a lifetime and are very brief, but they can still use the passing images to interfere with the mental images, such as shining many intertwined "past times" that only exist in their minds to others at the same time.
Then others are forced to fall into a scene that can be called a "fantasy". They fall into a stupor and become vegetables, unable to move or resist, until the Time Dragon casts magic to pardon them.
It is also a very powerful ability. Even if it is used in a fight, it can cause group hallucinations within a certain range. But the reason here is that "looking at the past and the future" conflicts with "new authority".
The new authority refers to himself and Xia.
Hitzfeld was unwilling to let the name of "Shadow Night Goddess" or "Twin Goddesses" spread, which would lead to the formation of a cult-like organization to worship her.
Fili-Niffinks.
Jordyn Frentes.
If that were to happen, the sacrifices made by these two people would be meaningless.
After great difficulty, "Saint Fili" used a huge lie to cover up people's faith, and "Saint Jodine" guarded the secret alone until her tragic death. Now that civilization is on the right track, she is unwilling to reverse history.
It may be unlucky to say that there was a day when Namibia lost the Sun King, and in the future, there may also be a day when it loses Shadow Night.
This world is big, and the universe outside is even bigger. When her status is elevated to this level, Hitzfeld is really not sure that she can still crack every secret she encounters like she did when she was in the mortal world.
Maybe she will lose too.
will also fail.
Then of course she has to budget for Namiya’s future.
People here must no longer fall into the frenzy of certain existences.
Therefore, she used the command of "keep secrets" - the authority derived from the concept of "mystery" to erase part of the Sara people's memory of themselves. Then she tampered with some of it on that basis, making people's impression of her only remain at the level of "Count Xieyang".
He had supported King Elwyn before the new dynasty and was a die-hard fan and confidant of the king's faction.
He had followed the king's orders to solve many strange and evil cases and smashed many rebel gangs.
This is how the Sara people think of her now.
Great.
But it's not worth mentioning all the time.
But this cannot hide the fact that they have transformed in a real sense.
The foundation for becoming a god is the new mother tree. Rather than saying they are two gods, it is better to say they are two tree shadows... In the long river of time, they stand in the past and the present respectively to protect against pollution. Even if they do nothing, the attention derived from the "past and future" under the old world and the old rules will naturally be blocked by the shadows.
So of course the Time Dragon's talent would become ineffective.
Yeying does not allow any covetous gazes, and this is not just directed at Gray Fog.
However, it is not convenient to explain the truth to others. Hitzfeld simply mentioned that "some rules have been changed" and "with the cover of Shadow Night, this kind of vision will no longer work in the future."
"This is a good thing..."
Wright looked at her with complicated eyes.
Although the Time Dragons have lost their abilities, don't forget what the purpose of having these abilities was in the first place?
Whether they are looking at the past and guarding the present, or being a half-baked prophet or a sentry, it is not for themselves.
Now if it is true as she said, that there is a concept called "Shadow Night" that covers everything, even the entire "Namiya", then there is really no need for the Light Dragon to continue to exist.
In other words, he can retire.
This is indeed a good thing.
However, he was still trying his best to suppress the shock in his heart.
She talked about this kind of thing so easily, as if she was just walking to the window before going to bed at night and casually pulling a pair of curtains.
She is now...
Combined with Luca Pilarcon's previous words, he addressed her as "Your Majesty"!
Could it be that she has already——
"it's a pity."
In less than two seconds, Wright had sorted out everything. As he spoke, he pulled Moore over to bow to the goddess.
"It's a shame we didn't get to witness the process."
"Thank you too..."
"Thank you for your sacrifice and dedication, Your Majesty."
This kind of respect is a must.
It came from the heart - he couldn't imagine how much hardship a mortal had to go through to get to this point, especially when he saw the Sarah outside with his own eyes, where there was no "Order of Night" or "Order of Shadow", her stories and name were no longer sung in the world, and the ruler was still King Elwyn. She had simply restrained all her glory, and even her existence was really looming.
Then he would naturally think that she must not have become a god for these things.
"I used to admire people who made sacrifices, just like you do," Hitzfeld said with a smile, "but I thought I could be like them."
"But sacrifice is different from sacrifice!" Wright retorted.
"But how do you define this difference?" The goddess asked him, "Can sacrifice be quantified? If both died for a noble mission, can we say that a rich person's death is heavier than a poor person's?"
Why do we suddenly want to open such a heavy topic...
Luca glared at Wright with some displeasure.
I have already reminded him who he might meet next, but he still dares to be so rebellious!
It is true that Your Majesty does not protect them for those mundane things, but that is for the Sara people.
He, Luca Pilarcon, is not from Sara!
He is an Elsa!
He is also a member of the Corrupted Blood God Country!
He, Cassius, Fermi, Xiao... Why did they not choose to stay with Elsa but follow her with those mechanical apostles?
It’s because of her noble status!
She is the princess of the Mechanical Kingdom and the half-heir of the King of Blood. They don't care about Sarah or Icarolinzhou. They have accompanied Aishazhou in wandering in the gray fog dimension for so long... They have all suffered this kind of hardship. In their eyes, the combination of identity and power represents everything!
She is Her Majesty! She is also His Majesty!
The Mechanical Kingdom has not perished! It has simply been integrated into the concept of the "Namiya Mechanical Engineering Society"! Everyone who joins the Engineering Society should serve her to the death!
"Someone will contact you later."
Hitzfeld didn't want to waste time on this topic. Seeing that Wright was speechless, she changed the subject and asked Luca to take the two guests for a walk around the neighborhood.
"Well, teacher."
The only people left in the room were the sleepy Tilan and the master and his disciple. Hitzfeld walked to the table and bowed to the back.
"I don't deserve it."
Pusiangsi moved aside, but the upturned corners of her mouth were enough to show that she was in a good mood.
"I didn't teach you much... just a few kinds of aromatic herbs. I'm not qualified to be your teacher."
"But you used your own story and example to help a person who was once lost to establish a beacon." Hitzfeld looked up and his eyes fell on the disproportionate legs of the cloaked man.
“In fact, we can try…”
"Okay stop talking!"
Priscilla interrupted her.
"Sarah is where she is today, and I am where I am today, especially that I can take off Hisoka's hat and sit here openly. I am already very satisfied with all this."
"Some scars should be left alone..."
"I'm old."
“Old people always need some memories.”
