I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"Um...did something happen with Evangeline?"

"Yes, there was an accident. The real problem is that none of us knew what happened. We only knew that we suddenly lost consciousness and when we woke up again, we were already outside the strange world. But you were the only one missing."

“Is that so…”

Eve was also a little embarrassed listening to Evelyn's story. After all, in a sense, she was the indirect culprit who caused the accident.

But the real culprit should be thrown on the afterimage of the God of Creation. The way you sent people out was a bit too simple and crude! How can you just throw everyone out without waiting for them to wake up?

"Ah sneeze——!"

The afterimage of the God of Creation who was dozing on the Time Island suddenly opened his eyes and sneezed, rubbed his nose and looked around curiously.

"Who's talking about me? Eve?"

Due to the special nature of the Time Island, the afterimage of the God of Creation was unable to make any specific guesses, so he could only close his eyes and doze off again, continuing to wait for the arrival of the next visitor.

Maybe it's someone she knows, maybe not, who knows.

"Anyway, I hope you're okay, Eve."

After palpating Eve one last time, Evelyn finally let her go.

"Well, then let's..."

Before Eve could finish, an elf beside her stepped forward and spoke.

"Your Highness Eve, Lady Melchis invites you."

"what!"

Because Eve spent too much energy on creating magic on the Time Island, she temporarily forgot that the Elf God Melchis wanted to see her. She only remembered it after being reminded by the elves just now.

"Looks like we'll have to wait and see."

While waiting for Eve, Evelyn had already learned about this from the elves, so she didn't seem too surprised and just smiled at Eve.

"Well, I'll come find you later. See you later."

After saying goodbye to each other, the two of them boarded the teleportation array and headed to their respective destinations.

squeak-

"Ah, welcome to this era, traveler from the future."

As the door opened, a familiar and pleasant voice reached Eve's ears.

This is the tree house located at the highest point of the World Tree Royal Court. At this moment, only the Elf Goddess Melhis is left in the house, sitting behind the table. It seems that she has been waiting for Eve for some time.

Due to the scarcity of resources in the Dark Age, compared to the luxurious banquet that the elves would provide when Eve visited her in the future, Melchis could not offer much to entertain Eve even though she had the status of the God of Elves. She could only smile apologetically.

"I'm sorry, the situation is limited and the hospitality is a bit inadequate."

"Ah, it's okay. After all, I know the situation of this era."

Sitting opposite the God of Elves, Eve smiled and shook her head.

"So, what will the future be like? What will our relationship be like in the future? It should be very close, right?"

"Forehead…"

Hearing Melchis get straight to the point so quickly, Eve's cheeks immediately turned red and she looked a little embarrassed.

"In the future... the elves will become very powerful and will still live in the Elf Forest in the north of the continent. This World Tree King Court will become a holy place."

"Hmm, um, what else? What's our relationship like? Eve has a lot of my aura in her."

"Wait, you said there were a lot?"

Eve felt strange when she heard Melchis's words. According to her examination, there was only a little bit of her aura remaining, so how could it become so much when Melchis said it? This was not just a little bit.

"That's right. Eve has very obvious traces of divine power. Why, didn't I tell you about this in the future?"

After hearing this, Eve finally understood. It turned out that her standard of judgment was not magic. No wonder she didn't notice it.

But Eve was once again troubled by Melchis's question.

"Um...how should I put it...the situation might be a little different than what Shizu thought."

"Something different?"

"To put it simply, the person I first met was you, but it wasn't you. Is that understandable?"

Since it is not easy to say directly that you have been dead for a long time in the future, and may have died many times, Eve can only hint at it this way.

But looking at Melchis's expression, she already understood the deeper meaning of Eve's words.

§16 A New Crisis

"It's me and it's not me...I see. It looks like there will be new threats in the future."

Although the current chaos among the demons is dangerous, it has also become relatively stable. Melhis couldn't think of any situation that would cause her to sacrifice herself for the elves, so the greater possibility is that something unexpected will happen in the future.

It’s a pity that I can’t find a place to quietly watch the future of the elves, but since I am the god of the race, it is my mission and responsibility to ensure the survival of the race.

However, judging from the fact that he could be revived in the future, there was nothing wrong with his divine core. It was a blessing in disguise. He just didn't know how he was related to the vampire girl in front of him.

According to common sense, the place where he was resurrected is within the territory of the elves, so if he is to be related to the elves, it should be with the elves.

"Ahem, well... I haven't finished yet..."

Looking at Melchis who was suddenly immersed in her own world and whose expression kept changing, Eve coughed lightly with a somewhat awkward expression, interrupting her thoughts.

"Shizu was fully resurrected before I returned to this era. Now, uh, in the future? Shizu still lives in this tree house. Before she awakened before arriving at the World Tree Royal Court, Shizu, without any memories, traveled with me within the Elven Tribe for several months, eating and sleeping together during that time."

"Hmm... Well, it looks like this is going to be a very long story."

After a slight pause, Melchis did not continue to ask about the relationship between the two. Instead, she asked about other situations of the elves.

"By the way, after that, was the elves managed by Merceris?"

"Indeed, in the future, she became one of the strongest people on the continent. It was also she who helped the elves break through their almost certain death."

"That child has grown up..."

With a slight smile on her lips, Melchis ended the conversation.

"Well, it's time for you to go meet your ancestor. She seems a little impatient. As for us, let's wait until the future to see each other."

"Well, see you in the future."

After Eve left, a faint smile appeared on Melchis's lips as she looked at the seat where Eve had sat before.

Maybe she won't be able to accompany the elves for a long time, but they will meet again in the distant future.

On the other side, after leaving the tree house at the highest point, Eve took a short-distance teleportation array to Evangeline's residence. Coincidentally, this tree house was the one she would live in in the future.

"Ah! Eve!"

When Eve emerged from the teleportation array, Evelyn was about to leave the tree house and walk towards the teleportation array. It seemed that Melchis noticed this and chose to quickly end the conversation between the two.

"How are you? Are you okay? Why did that person suddenly want to see you?"

"Ah, nothing, it's just that I had contact with her in the future, and she noticed the remaining aura on my body, so she asked me some questions about the future."

"I'm glad you're okay. Come on, we should go to the next place."

"Are you leaving now?"

Hearing that Evelyn's schedule was so urgent, Eve frowned and asked.

"There's nothing I can do. This trip to Wonderland took up quite a bit of time, and there were a lot of accidents. I can only hurry to the next place."

Oh my god, it turns out it’s all her fault.

"Okay, let's go."

So in the period of time that followed, Eve personally experienced and witnessed how people in the Dark Ages struggled to survive.

Those settlements with the best conditions are all built based on wonderlands, but since not every wonderland is suitable for human survival, not every wonderland has become a settlement.

The population density in these settlements is terrifying. It is no exaggeration to say that people are packed together. However, no one will complain about this in this doomsday. Fortunately, with the help of magic, people's living standards are still acceptable.

The next best option is to establish a settlement in a location with suitable conditions, preferably at a distance from the Dark Land.

In order to prepare for possible natural disasters, the conditions of such settlements are much simpler because the possibility of long-distance migration needs to be taken into account.

As for the worst conditions, it was the one Eve saw at first. It was adjacent to the Dark Land, and life was full of fear every day, for fear that something would run out of the Dark Land and bring disaster to the settlement.

Of course, this kind of gathering place is often not chosen by people on their own initiative. Their predecessors were all secondary settlements. They were just trapped in awkward places for various reasons during the migration and could not leave. Once they have the opportunity, they will choose to migrate again.

During this period, the relationship between Eve and Evelyn became much closer. Eve felt that it was a bit awkward to call Evelyn by her name all the time. After all, she was her ancestor, who was older than her mother, so she just called her sister.

Evangeline had no objection to this. On the contrary, she seemed to enjoy the title. Perhaps it was because she had a royal sister but no younger sister. Evangeline even treated Eve with a bit more care, like an older sister treating her younger sister.

However, in this dark age, good times are always short-lived, and new threats have quietly arrived.

"The scope of the dark land has expanded again, and the speed is getting faster and faster. Several settlements have completely lost contact overnight."

Putting down the report in her hand and pinching her eyebrows, Yuwen Jielin said a little irritably.

Due to the particularity and danger of the Dark Land, no one except the few holy weapon holders dared to study the situation of the Dark Land at close range. They usually observed it from a long distance, so naturally they were not clear about the specific size and shape of these Dark Lands, nor the fact that the Dark Lands were slowly expanding.

It was not until the darkness expanded at an increasingly rapid pace in recent days that people finally realized the danger was coming and began to flee to places far away from the darkness.

But even so, some settlements were unable to escape in time, and were swallowed up by the sudden expansion of the dark land while they were resting, and some even lost all contact with their members.

Those dark places were like abscesses growing on the earth, slowly engulfing the entire world in endless darkness.

However, behind this bad news, there is also something that can barely be called good news, that is, the dark land cannot invade the wonderland.

In the darkness that envelops the world, those wonders serve as lighthouses, protecting everyone.

However, as a price to pay, those strange territories that already accommodated a large population became even more crowded, making normal life completely impossible.

Therefore, it is urgent to find a solution to the dark land.

§17 Her Choice

squeak-

"Sister Evangeline, are you okay? You look so miserable."

She walked in with a cup of warm water with a few drops of honey in it, and asked Evelyn with concern as she looked at Evelyn sitting behind the desk.

"Ah, Eve, sister is fine, it's just that the situation elsewhere is a little bad."

Taking the cup from Eve's hand, Evelyn shook her head slightly to indicate that Eve didn't need to worry about her situation.

"Is it still a problem with the Dark Land?"

"Well, those things are expanding faster and faster, but we haven't been able to find the reason or a way to suppress them. Wonderland is almost full, and if things continue like this, the situation will get worse."

"The reason for the expansion of the Dark Land..."

In order to stay there longer, Eve is now completely unable to use any of her strength, and the only help she can provide to Evelyn is some reference suggestions.

After all, future scholars have done a lot of research on the opponent, the Demon God.

The Dark Land and the Abyss are both related to the devil. Scholars suspect that there is a will behind the abyss that controls its activities. Maybe the same is true behind the Dark Land?

Thinking of this, Eve began to speak.

"Sister Evangeline, I suspect the expansion of these dark lands is driven by the will of the Demon God. According to the remaining records, the Demon God may be about to begin his activities."

"A demon god..."

The hand holding the cup subconsciously used a little more strength, and Yuvjielin's brows frowned even deeper.

Although they were the culprits that caused the Dark Age, the records handed down by various races all indicate one thing - the demons did not become truly active until the end of the Dark Age, and the specific reasons are unknown.

For a long time in the early days, the Demon God had been indirectly suppressing people's living space with various disasters and monsters, but He himself had never really appeared, leaving only the top of the Blue Sky Mountain shrouded in darkness.

Until the final darkness came and the world was shrouded in endless darkness, and the survivors could only rely on the protection of the wonderland to survive, the devil truly appeared in the world and began to destroy the wonderland one by one. Soon after that, the war to conquer the devil began.

As the war that broke out in the blue sky came to an end, the extreme darkness that enveloped the entire world also disappeared. Soon after, the wonderland that protected people also collapsed one after another. People returned to this devastated land to live again, and a new era began under the watchful eyes of the dark abyss.
