Are you worthy of saving the world?

"What?" Jiayika was stunned.

Yuri held her hand tightly and said, “For some reason, this singularity didn’t mention the year or era at all!

The singularity I challenged last time emphasized the time point from beginning to end, but this time it was deliberately hidden!"

Yuli had almost torn apart the notebooks he and Jiaika brought with them, but there was no mention of the era in which they lived.

“Is it the Holy Calendar now? Or is it the era before the Holy Calendar?

No... Considering that it is a singularity, it is not impossible even if it is in the era after us!"

We must first understand the current era!"

"..."

Jiaika, whose face was originally red, also turned serious.

She also vaguely realized the seriousness of the matter, which might be related to the secret of the island.

Yuri pinched his chin and said, "There are still more than 30 hours left until the "Yanhong Festival"... Is it too late to return to the mainland now to investigate the specific year?"

"That's not necessary."

Yuli looked up and saw Jiayi Ka showing a calm and confident smile: "You seem to have forgotten who I am?

I am the best magician and astrologer in Academy City, right?

Although the power to use magic is restricted, the knowledge in my head cannot be restricted.

If you want to determine the current year... you can just observe the stars and do some calculations."

"Oh... As expected of Professor Jiaika!" Yuli made a touched sound.

"Hum~"

After that, Jiaika took out her notebook and began to draw patterns of the starry sky on the blank pages.

Yuli stood quietly behind her.

Time passed slowly between the two of them, and the notebook in front of Jiayika was already filled with formulas and geometric figures.

I don't know how much time has passed, when the sun began to rise from the sea level,

"I figured it out!"

Jiaika shouted this and then fell backwards exhausted.

Yuli quickly squatted down and caught her body.

The two of them just snuggled together, looking at the gorgeous sunrise over the sea in the distance.

"How's it going?" Yuri asked.

Jiayi Ka nodded and replied, "Well...it is now the 11109th year of the Holy Calendar, which is more than 900 years before the time when both of us were born.

Haha, it’s incredible... Just knowing the era I live in, I feel an inexplicable emotion in my heart.

Little Emily, it turns out that she is my grandmother’s grandmother… I don’t know how many generations she is from~”

After sighing, she turned to look at the boy who was hugging her: "Is it helpful?"

Yuli was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily: “It’s a great help.”

Seeing Jiayi Ka's confused expression, he continued to explain: "According to the documents Stella and I found in the temple...

The first time the Dragon God descended on this island and was worshipped as the island's guardian deity was nearly 1,100 years ago.

According to the era you calculated, it is around 10000 years in the sacred calendar."

"The 10000th year of the Holy Calendar, that means...!" Jiaika widened her eyes.

Yuri said thoughtfully: "Yes, the era when the "Pale Knight" descended to the surface was the most tragic period of the Witch War."

157 "Red Festival"

"In other words, the Pale Knight arrived on this planet as early as the 10,000th year of the Holy Calendar and has been dormant on this island for more than a thousand years?"

"If we consider the history of the real world, it should have been lurking for more than 2000 years and has not appeared until our time."

Stella frowned slightly, and whispered with an unhappy look on her face: “The reason why our world was not destroyed by the existence of Doomsday is because of the living sacrifice ceremony on Dragon God Island?

By constantly sacrificing the lives of seven or eight-year-old girls, the civilization of the human world has continued to this day! ? "

Her topaz pupils burned with anger.

"So far, it's just speculation," Yuri replied.

The two of them are currently in a small pavilion near the temple.

Yuli came alone today.

Because tomorrow is the day of the "Red Festival", Jiaika stays in the village to play with Erica, while Yuli comes to discuss tomorrow's battle plan with Stella.

There were several maids standing about ten meters away from the two of them. It was obvious that they were sent to monitor them.

After all, the Dragon Priestess has been getting too close to people from outside the island recently.

Yuli ignored the maid who was watching him and continued to plot quietly with Stella.

"So...what exactly is the Pale Knight?"

The silver-haired witch asked, poking her chin with her fingertips.

If it is a god-level dragon, then where did it hide its huge body that covers the sky and the sun for thousands of years?

If the "Pale Knight" is not a dragon, but some kind of angel-like being, why is he called the Dragon God by the indigenous people who have witnessed his true face in the past?

"..."

Yuli shook his head.

He discussed it with Jiaika for a whole night but could not reach a conclusion.

The information currently known is that there is some kind of very deep connection between the suspected dragon named "Pale Knight" and the Witch War.

"Could it be... a dragon controlled by a witch?" Stella whispered.

Fantasy beasts and wild beasts that have been transformed, polluted, and controlled by witches are called monsters.

"Then the dragon controlled by the witch should be called a magic dragon, right?" Stella said.

Yuri frowned and retorted, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are names that have already appeared in the scriptures of the last era, right?

How could such a powerful being be controlled by just a few witches..."

"So what's going on? What is the true identity of the Pale Knight?" Stella looked unhappy.

Yuri pinched his chin. "Well, let me think about it... For example, the embodiment of the Witch War?"

"Aha?"

"Aren't there often similar settings in novels?"

Yuli originally wanted to say anime, but temporarily changed it to "novel".

"Natural disasters are actually born out of human fear..."

"The Witch War was the greatest disaster in the Sacred Calendar so far. This war, which nearly destroyed the surface civilization, left an indelible painful memory for the people at that time and for future generations."

According to records, during the most intense period of the Witch War, the witches dropped thousands of "mushroom clouds" on the surface of this planet, causing tens of millions of deaths.

"The Pale Knight who holds the power of death is actually the embodiment of the horror of the Witch War in people's hearts!"

After Yuli finished his guess, Stella showed an expression of admiration and speechlessness.

"...You have a very rich imagination. Would you like to consider writing a novel?" Stella twitched the corners of her mouth.

In my original world, this is a setting that has been used to death, Yuli thought.

“But in the final analysis, it is just wild speculation and there is no substantial evidence.

Okay, let's put aside the truth about the Pale Knight. Are you ready for tomorrow's ceremony?"

The "Yanhong Festival" will be held in one day.

The sacrifice ceremony will be held on the altar at the end of the island.

At noon that day, the bathed and neatly dressed shrine maiden will take the girls and maids who will be the living sacrifices to the altar at the northernmost end of the island.

At that time, all the adult residents of Dragon God Island will also be present.

While the priestess stood on the altar and offered the blood of her young girl to the Dragon God, they knelt down at the foot of the altar and prayed devoutly for the God's protection.

As the ceremony approached, even Stella felt a little nervous.

"The best time to take action is during the Red Festival."

"Disrupting the ritual of human sacrifice... I don't know what the consequences will be, but there is no better choice at the moment."

"Preventing the ritual of human sacrifice from happening under the watchful eyes of the islanders is the best way to undermine the faith of the believers."

"oh, I understand now."

Stella nodded solemnly.

……

……

……

The next day is the "Yanhong Festival".

If nothing unexpected happens, this will also be the last day of this singularity.

After dinner, Jiayika suggested that they go out and relax.

"Oh, is it really okay for you to choose me over little Emily for your last night?"

Yuli seemed to be in a good mood, and he teased with a smile on his face.

Jiayi Ka rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "I'm not with little Emily 24 hours a day, okay...

And today is her last night, so let her spend it with her mother."

"So I'm the spare tire."

"I didn't say that!"
