I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

This was the first time they had seen this kind of castle-style building among the elves. After all, the elves all lived in tree houses.

The castle area in the upper half of the crystal is roughly divided into four small castles and the main castle in the middle. The small castles are crowded together to protect the castle in the middle, but they are a little too close to each other. If it weren't for the different colors, it would be difficult to distinguish them.

So it seems that this is not a man-made creation. After all, it is impossible for a man-made castle to be so unstructured.

And whether it is a coincidence or something else, the colors of these five castles are the same as the representative colors of the elves. The main castle in the middle is brilliant gold, and the small castles around it are emerald green, green-gold, aqua blue, and moon white crowded in a circle.

There was an energy ball gathering above the golden main castle and the moon-white small castle, emitting a strong moon-attributed magic. As for the other three small castles, they were silent, without any fluctuations.

Hmm...if this wonderland is still in its complete state, it would probably feel like there are five magic balls condensing at the same time?

This was her first time to come into contact with a wonderland, although it was just a relic. After all, she had not even been to the wonderland within her own blood clan's territory.

Although the place where Dier was born was also a wonderland, it was burned too thoroughly and there was no trace of the wonderland left.

As for the reason why Eve had not yet been to the wonderland within the vampire clan, it was not because Elizabeth had any discrimination against her, the daughter of the former hero. Rather, she had asked Eve several times if she wanted to go and see it, but Eve herself had no time, so it was delayed.

Well, I’ve decided. I’ll find time to go and have a look later.

Since this wonderland that has become a relic is so interesting, the real wonderland on the vampire side must be even more amazing.

Wait, it seems she can also go to the elves' Creation Garden?

A wonderland with such an outrageous name shouldn't be bad.

At this time, the Moon Elf Captain who had just taken the lead had already landed on a protruding platform on the crystal below and was waiting for a few people. He did not stop Eve and the others from hovering in the air to enjoy the scenery. After all, she looked no different from them when she first came here.

So, after a long while, Eve came to her senses and went down with a few people.

"I'm sorry, I was a little surprised to see this kind of scenery for the first time. I kept you waiting for so long."

"It's okay. It's like this for everyone who comes here for the first time. Please follow me."

As she spoke, she led Eve and the others into the crystal palace.

The interior of the palace has a sense of déjà vu of a mirror maze. Apart from the opaque parts, the remaining layers of crystal reflect countless human figures.

Along the way, Eve also saw many elves busy at work, seemingly checking the situation everywhere, probably preparing for the ceremony on the full moon night.

After walking around for a while, Eve and the others were finally brought to the reception room and sat down.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

After taking his seat, the moon elf smiled apologetically, pushed the snacks on the table away and continued speaking.

"Let me introduce myself first. I'm Bettys, one of the managers here."

"Eve, a vampire, is currently traveling with the elves. Over a month ago, I was invited by Lord Melfirin to collect moonlight dew, so I came here to take a look. Could you please introduce it to me?"

"Okay, let's start with this strange place."

At this point, Betty seemed to remember something and asked another question.

"By the way, Miss Eve, do you know what Wonderland is?"

"Yes, I know. Betty just needs to focus on the process of collecting the Moonlight Dew."

"This wonderland ruin is called the Crystal City. As you can see, it's a castle made of crystal. It was originally a wonderland that produced materials, but over time its ability has declined significantly. Now the only thing it can produce is Moonlight Dew."

Betty was a little sad when she said this, but she quickly composed herself and continued.

"On a full-moon night, the energy ball above the palace will explode in sync with the full moon, forming a giant energy tree in the water. The Moon Dew is the liquid energy condensed from the treetops that protrude above the water."

"Doesn't sound difficult to collect?"

After listening to Betty's description, Eve interjected.

It’s no big deal to come to the water and collect some energy. Isn’t this much friendlier than the two lucky players, Moonlight Fish and Thousand Star Stone?

"No, actually, when the energy tree appears, there's a very strong aura of oppression around it within a certain range, and it's very difficult for us to move within that aura. Furthermore, the Moon Dew doesn't just appear on one branch, but on all the branches and leaves that stick out of the water. But only the last few drops that we collect are the real Moon Dew, so we have to do a lot of preparation before each collection."

Betty seemed a little embarrassed when she heard Eve say that, but she still explained.

"Is that so? Sorry, I thought it was too simple."

Although she apologized, Eve was actually still confident in herself. With the help of the others, collecting the Moonlight Dew would probably be much smoother this time.

"Ah, it's okay. It's getting late. I'll take you all to rest."

"Well, that's troublesome."

Then, led by Betty, the group entered a crystal room.

"Starting tomorrow night, we'll be ready to collect the Moonlight Dew. If there are any signs of it appearing, I'll have someone notify everyone. So everyone, get some rest."

After saying that, Bettys left the house. After all, she was also one of the managers, and there were still many things she needed to coordinate before the ceremony.

So only Eve and her group were left in the crystal room.

§160 Dreams of the Past

"Hoo~"

After Bettys left, Eve threw herself on the bed and began to look around the room.

The crystals that make up the walls and ceiling of the house initially have a thin layer of translucent crystal that reflects the scene inside the house like a mirror, and then become opaque to block the line of sight so that the neighbor's live broadcast cannot be seen from the next room.

The floor under your feet is made of five-colored crystals. It looks messy but gives people a unique beauty. The feeling of stepping on it is also a bit strange. Although it looks like hard crystal, it feels slightly soft, a bit like a carpet.

However, the furniture in the house did not seem to be native to the room, but was brought in by the elves later. After all, it would be a bit out of place to have such a vine bed in a room made of crystal.

"Hey~"

Eve suddenly turned over and walked to the window, then opened the curtains and looked at the scenery outside.

The windows here are the style of the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the previous life. They are made of a whole piece of transparent crystal, and the whole thing is integrated and can see the scenery outside directly. Just by lying on the bed, you can directly see the scenery of the underwater forest.

"Well...never mind, go to sleep."

After watching for a while, Eve closed the curtains again and changed into pajamas because she was a little bored.

"Viya, come, I'll hold you while I sleep tonight~"

As previously announced, Eve will sleep with Ilvia in her arms tonight.

"..."

Although she still looked silent and clueless, Ilvia's movements were obviously much faster. She ran quickly into Eve's arms, then leaned in Eve's arms, half-closed her eyes and looked up at her, as if asking when she would go to bed.

"Huh~"

Eve lowered her head to rub Ilvia's little face, then reached out and placed the pillows on both sides of her.

After doing this, he slid into the quilt with Ilvia and didn't care about anything else.

"Okay, sleep."

As for the two seats next to Eve, they were won by Arcana and Istina after a round of rock-paper-scissors. Melchis had no choice but to accept the defeat and lay down at the farthest place from Eve with a pout.

But Eve couldn't sleep peacefully tonight because the familiar feeling of chaos came to her again.

"..."

In the ocean of chaos, Eve's mentality is a little bit exploded.

She barely slept during her time with the Moon Elves, and now that she finally got a chance to rest, something unexpected happened to her, right?!

After venting her anger on the sea of ​​chaos in front of her, Eve regained her composure.

Forget it, let's make the best of it. Let her see what this dream will be like. Just hope it's not the same as the last time when there was nothing.

After a while, as Eve watched, a curtain of light appeared again in the chaos before her eyes, revealing to her the past that was buried in history.

The scene on the light screen seemed to be from Ilvia's perspective. At this moment, she was standing behind a figure with long blue-purple hair, looking at the endless darkness in front of her. Combined with her previous dreams, this figure should be the first generation Holy Swordsman.

"All preparations are complete. We can obtain some Moonlight Dew and Three-Life Leaves without causing any disturbance. While this will cause some damage to the Wonderland, it won't cause it to collapse. With these, we will have a better chance of defeating the Demon God."

Suddenly, a voice appeared behind the owner of the perspective, and Ilvia turned around at this time. What appeared in the background was a scene that Eve was very familiar with. To be precise, she had just seen it - the place in the dream was exactly the wonderland they were in now, the Crystal City.

However, it was different from now. As Eve guessed, there were five magic balls gathered in the sky above the Crystal City at that time. The magic ball in the middle was much more powerful than it is now, and it seemed to be condensed with very strong power.

It seems that the reason for this dream is to revisit the old place. In addition to the Moonlight Dew, the person in the dream also mentioned a material called Sansheng Leaf, which should be something that can be obtained here during the complete period.

Although there seemed to be other outputs, they were all taken away by the figure in the light curtain.

“…We have to win no matter what.”

After hearing the other party's words, the Holy Swordsman remained silent for a moment before speaking with a voice that showed he had already made up his mind.

"Yeah...we have to win no matter what."

At this time, Ilvia's gaze also shifted to the figure who was speaking. What surprised Eve was that the person who appeared in front of her was actually a vampire. She thought it was the holder of the holy weapon of the vampire clan.

Similar to Eve, she also has silver hair and red eyes, but because she is not a direct descendant of the royal family, she looks taller than Eve, but only by a little bit.

If Elizabeth and Eve were put together, they would be mistaken for twin sisters. Then this vampire and Eve would look like sisters, with Eve being the younger sister.

"Okay, let's get in our positions and get ready to start."

"Ah."

Then the two of them went to their respective positions to prepare for action. Although they were a little curious about the vampire elder, the perspective of the light screen followed Ilvia, so Eve could only see the situation on the Holy Sword User's side.

"start!"

After a while, with the order of the Holy Sword Master, the Crystal City in the distance suddenly burst into dazzling light. The four light balls surrounding it were connected to the magic ball in the center, and then they were about to radiate outwards, but were stopped by several magical powers and shrank into the light shell without leaking out. The curtain of light also came to an end in this dazzling white light and returned to chaos.

As the light curtain ended, Eve began to review the situation.

"Hmm... Looks like it happened before the Demon God Subjugation War. I didn't expect those holy weapon holders to come here too."

And Eve just noticed that there seemed to be quite a few people living inside this light shell in the light curtain. I guess they were the people hiding in the wonderland for refuge.

In addition to the crystal castle itself, many people even used magic to build a place to rest in mid-air.

As recorded in history books, these wonders left behind by the God of Creation during the Dark Ages were like safe havens, protecting the creatures on the continent.

Now, after a thousand years, a new Holy Sword Contractor has once again come to this once wonderful land.

The world has changed dramatically, and the wonderland of the past has become a relic with only a fraction of its power left. The brave warriors of the past have also disappeared into history along with the demons, leaving only the people they fought to protect to create a new future.

But tonight's dream did not end there. As the Sea of ​​Chaos fluctuated, a new light curtain appeared in front of Eve...

§161 Creator God?

"Ah, there really is more."

Looking at the chaotic sea that was fluctuating again in front of her, Eve didn't think it was strange. After all, she had experienced this inexplicable dream several times, and except for one unexpected situation, it was basically two parts.

But this time, the image that appeared in Eve's eyes was a little confusing.

It was also a first-person image, showing a figure emitting light all over the body, standing in a depression in the light curtain.

The light emanating from the figure was quite strange, making it impossible to see any information about her, even the most basic things like her height, body shape, and hair color. However, she gave people a strange sense of security.

However, the depression where they were was not peaceful. The terrifying tornado in the distance that connected the sky and the earth changed the weather from bright sunshine to heavy snow and then to torrential rain in a short period of time. The red lightning that occasionally fell around the two of them all showed the chaos of the situation at that time.

In today's era, this level of climate anomaly would be enough to cause the strong to take certain measures, but in the era of the light curtain, it seemed like a common occurrence.

Not only the owner of the perspective, but even the human figure radiating light seemed to be unaffected. He was still squatting on the ground with full concentration, regardless of the rapidly changing environment around him, as if he was burying something in the ground.

“…Okay, this one’s buried too.”

After a while, the figure finally stood up and looked at the owner of the perspective that Eve borrowed, but Eve seemed a little surprised after hearing the other party's voice.

"Is this voice the mysterious voice?"

Because people's voices would change in dreams, Eve had a very deep memory of this only constant mysterious voice.

Well, or rather, it’s hard not to be impressed by this familiar existence that is a bit like a riddle.

[“…From now on…I’ll…pay my respects…to you…”]

[“…everything…is…a final gift…I hope you can…meet your…person again, my…”]

If I remember correctly, this voice said these things when it appeared before. They were all very confusing, but they were all filled with a strong sense of entrusting someone to someone else.
