I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

Take her current outfit for example, with her silver hair and red eyes, top-level XP configuration, and she is wearing a gorgeous and exquisite white dress, with a pair of knee-length white stockings covering her slender calves. No matter how you look at her, she looks like a beautiful girl from the second dimension, or a little loli.

"Oh, by the way, if the electrical appliances are working properly, then the food should be fine too, right?"

Thinking of this, Eve ran out of her room and took out the fat otaku happy water in the shopping bag.

Well, I hope it still tastes the same as before.

But even if it wasn't her, she wouldn't have been able to find out. After all, she had forgotten about this kind of thing long ago.

Hiss——

As the bottle cap was unscrewed, a pleasant sound was heard.

Regardless of the taste, at least the sound is right.

Gurgle, gurgle, ah~~

"Hmm...it seems to be this taste."

After smacking her lips twice, Eve frowned and said uncertainly.

The main reason is that she doesn't have the same feeling as drinking happy water in her memories, but there's a high chance that her taste has become more refined.

Although there is no fat otaku happy water in the other world, she is now a princess of a country after all, so she has naturally eaten and drunk a lot of good things, especially during her recent trip to the elves, she has tasted many special things.

"Well, forget it, it's just a thought."

Eve screwed up the drink and put it aside, then took one last look around her former room.

"…Bye now."

I don’t know who she was talking to, or if she was saying goodbye to her past. The next moment, with the sound of the security door closing heavily, Eve’s figure disappeared from her former home.

§212 Time Magic

After leaving home, Eve casually walked into several restaurants, supermarkets and other places and took a look around.

In the restaurant's kitchen, there are ingredients that have been processed and are about to be cooked. There are also items that need to be checked out at the supermarket's checkout counter, but there is no one who should be there.

There were still steaming dishes on the restaurant tables, as if someone had been dining there just a moment ago.

But no matter what, Eve is the only one left in this space.

“…This way.”

Standing on the deserted street and looking around, Eve decided to find a direction to enter the surrounding fog and look for a way to leave.

The time for nostalgia is over, people always have to move on.

Rather, she was very surprised to have the opportunity to revisit the old place.

The fog surrounding this small city was very thick. After walking a few meters, Eve could no longer see the road behind her. All she saw was white.

After taking a few more steps, the fog was so thick that Eve couldn't see where she was standing. If you didn't know, you would think the place was covered with dry ice for filming a movie.

"?"

Suddenly, in the thick fog, Eve felt as if a strange wave swept over her body again, and then the fog she was in began to become thinner little by little, and when she left the fog, she had arrived at a new street.

"here it is…?"

After looking around, Eve finally saw her home in the distance, which means that from her position, she had come to the opposite side of the place she had just entered.

It seems that the direction here is connected to the opposite side.

But the problem was, how was she supposed to leave? She couldn't just try to get out of each fog one by one.

Or do we have to find something like a core hidden here before we can leave?

No, she didn't take the key with her when she ran away from home just now. If it was left in her house, it would be a big problem.

"Aha."

With a helpless sigh, Eve continued walking towards the center of the city.

Since walking around didn't work, she might as well look in the center to see if there were any clues. If that didn't work, she would have to turn the whole place upside down and search around.

"Hmm... So there used to be these shops around my house."

Walking on the street and looking at the street scenes on both sides, Eve felt as unfamiliar as if she was here for the first time.

After more than ten years, the only thing she could remember was the area near her home. As for the rest, she had long forgotten it.

It was more like Eve was a little curious about how the Creation Courtyard had dug all this out of her mind so quickly.

Even if it were her, it would probably take her a while to recall, and all she could remember would be some landmark buildings, not as detailed as it is now.

After wandering around the streets for a while, something unusual finally appeared in front of Eve.

It was a figure with its back to her, a figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

She knew the other person's identity at first sight, but to be honest, this was the first time she had seen this scene with her own eyes.

After all, people can't see the back of their own head directly.

Even if I want to persecute my senior, I can't do it.

At most, I could catch a glimpse of my headless back before completely losing consciousness? Probably?

"Hmm... I can't see the front."

He tried to move left and right a few times, but no matter what he did, he always hit Eve with the back of her head.

After a few times, Eve gave up her idea and walked over obediently.

“…It’s still really weird.”

Looking at her former self's back, Eve thought for a moment before reaching out and tapping it lightly, wanting to see what reaction it would have, and then...

Snapped--

In an instant, the figure exploded into light spots all over the sky, and then condensed into a small ball of light in front of Eve, just floating there.

The thick fog surrounding the town also began to shrink, engulfing everything around it.

Taking a last look at her home that was about to be swallowed by the thick fog, Eve reached out and grasped the ball of light, letting the fog wrap her up, and with it came a wealth of knowledge.

All this knowledge has been categorized into different categories, with a stable span from introduction to entry to mastery.

The current situation is that all these things are stuffed into her mind, and she still needs to practice if she wants to use them proficiently.

However, just looking at the name of this magic type, Eve's expression was a little strange - time magic.

Turns out there really is such a thing.

This should be the magic lost in the Dark Ages.

As for the reason for the loss, there is no need to explain it - difficulty.

Very direct and very real.

According to the introduction, few beings could master time magic even in the mythological era. Not only did this magic consume an astronomical amount of magic power, it was also incredibly difficult. Even Eve felt a little overwhelmed when she saw it.

And according to the introduction, time magic cannot significantly change history under normal circumstances. Everything you do will only affect the short period of time you remain in the past, like a fragile bubble. After you leave, history will continue to move forward, erasing everything you have changed.

Although that history changes when you take action, the real history will not change at all.

For example, if you use time magic to go back to the past and save people who should have died, and kill people who should have lived in the future, but in real history they will all die or live as written in the records.

Well, that means the grandmother paradox doesn't exist.

In addition, there are many other restrictions. For example, you can only go back to a certain part of time. Under normal circumstances, the maximum time of going back is about a hundred years. Magic props cannot be brought back, the demiplane cannot be opened, and you cannot use too strong power when you are in the past, otherwise you will be expelled from the past by time.

In short, due to these various limitations, in most cases time magic that allows you to go back to the past can only be used to view what happened in the past.

No matter what happened at that time, you could only be a bystander, otherwise you would be expelled by history.

Even if you change history, all you see is the changed illusion.

Once the time magic to return to the past fails, the caster will be sent to another era, and then she can only wait obediently in the same place to be sent back to the world.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be just a small problem like replying at the wrong time.

However, there are still some very practical tricks in the time magic category that can be used, such as accelerating your own physical vision, making other people's actions appear in slow motion, etc.

All in all, the harvest was good.

§213 The Other Side of the Fork in the Road

When she opened her eyes again, what appeared before Eve was the white jade path in the Garden of Creation.

There was still the same fog in front and behind her, not the scene at the end as described in the letter. It seemed that there was still something to come for her.

Finally, after staying there to sort out the knowledge about time magic in her mind, Eve once again walked into the thick fog.

She had a good harvest. Although time magic had various limitations, she had already made some plans. As for whether it would work, it would depend on the actual tests in the future.

However, I don’t know what Tina’s harvest is like.

Let's go back a little bit in time, back to when Istina took a fork in the road...

After watching Eve disappear, Istina also set foot on her own path.

brush--

As the scene around her flashed, the next moment the white jade path under Istina's feet turned into a cobblestone path that could be seen everywhere on the street. Familiar shops and stalls appeared on both sides of the street, and in front of her was a place that had been destroyed by Eve - the residence of the Grans family.

“…This is truly…”

Staring blankly at the familiar family gate in front of her, Istina's expression was a little complicated. After a long time, she squeezed out a sentence in a complicated tone.

Should I say it's a haunting? I actually saw the family residence here again.

Unlike Eve, who had long forgotten the street scenes near her home, it was less than a year since Istina last came here, so she easily noticed the strangeness of the scene before her.

Judging from the surrounding shops and the yet-to-be-built Memorial Hall of the Brave, this place is not what it looked like before Eve destroyed it, but rather a much earlier scene, probably before Eve was sent to the vampire clan.

At that time, she and her brave sir depended on each other and supported each other in the family. Sometimes she would think about a question - if she had expressed her feelings earlier, would the result be different?

Although everything seems too good now, her world was plunged into complete darkness after the news of Eve's death came out. The motivation for her to continue living was to think about how to destroy her family and avenge Eve.

The family knew what she was thinking, but because she was just a small magician, and her major was healing magic, the family naturally didn't take it seriously.

To be realistic, there are so many people who want to destroy the Grans family. Who do you think you are?

In addition, her identity as the attendant of the brave warrior who died in battle was quite sensitive, so the final result was that she was semi-exiled to the border to manage a monastery.

But what no one could have imagined was that even though she was at the border, Istina still managed to contact some people who also had hatred for the Grans family with her connections and united them to try to tear a piece of meat off this behemoth.

She did not tell Eve about these things after they met again, and she did not take the initiative to ask Eve whether she knew about it. After all, she later found out that there were always vampire guards following and protecting her, and these things could not be hidden from them.

But before she could actually put her plan into practice, Eve came to her door.

When she learned from Eve that there was a problem with the porter, she roughly guessed that her actions had been discovered by the family and was ready to cut off this bud. However, to everyone's surprise, Eve's magical army descended from the sky and overturned everyone's plan.

I guess with my disappearance, the organization whose components she contacted should have been destroyed.

However, the family was destroyed by Eve shortly afterwards, which indirectly achieved the ultimate goal.

"call--"

Taking a deep breath and shaking her head to clear away the messy thoughts in her mind, Istina walked towards the direction of her and Eve's original residence without any hesitation.

As for the buildings within the family compound? Honestly, if she wasn't worried about the negative consequences of taking action in Wonderland, she would have wanted to tear them down herself to avoid the annoyance of looking at them.

squeak-

What you see when you enter is the familiar cottage and courtyard. Unlike later times, this place now retains its original appearance before being used as an exhibition hall.

Istina had mixed feelings about this place. Although she was not happy, she and Eve had lived here for quite a while after all.

But later, as Eve became stronger, she was sent to other places every day and rarely lived here.

A hint of red annihilation magic rose slightly from her fingertips, and Istina stared at the dancing lightning in trance.

If only she could protect herself and not hold the hero back...
