The space spreads and blends like watercolor.
After a brief tremor, everyone seemed to enter another space, and the scene before them suddenly changed.
The bright, sunny sky transformed into a tranquil night, with a bright, full moon hanging in the night sky.
An endless sea of pale blue flowers stretches across the ground, extending from your feet all the way to the other side of the horizon.
In the center of the sea of flowers stands a magnificent classical castle.
Its architectural style is roughly equivalent to that of the 12th century, and its size is almost the same as that of an entire small city.
The main building's dome pierces the sky, magnificent and grand, while the bas-reliefs on the outer walls are exquisitely detailed, showing no signs of age.
"what……"
Ai Ge was stunned for a moment.
"This is?……"
"A city with a thousand-year history".
Lu Chen answered.
"This is where Arcueid rests, and it is also the Noble Phantasm that she conjured from her imagination. It does not exist in any real plane, but it can also appear anywhere in the real world."
"Let's go wake her up."
shhh-
Lu Chen stepped into the Thousand-Year City. The barrier seemed to him as nothing, and all the restrictions and defensive magic were easily broken.
"Hopefully she won't be grumpy when she's woken up under such unusual circumstances?"
……
……
Darkness, endless darkness.
A young girl dressed in gorgeous clothes, with long golden hair and a pure and lovely appearance, is in a deep slumber.
Arcueid could no longer remember how long her consciousness had been dormant.
She was created for the sole purpose of killing the Demon King and the Dead Apostles.
As a weapon, she neither knows nor needs to acquire knowledge. For hundreds of years, she has repeated the cycle of sleeping, awakening, hunting, and sleeping again.
She only awakens when she senses her enemy manifesting and active in the world, and is simultaneously instilled with the knowledge of that era.
Then he killed his target and returned to the ancient city to sleep.
Although it has lived for over eight hundred years, it has spent no more than a year actually in the outside world.
Arcueid had grown accustomed to this lifestyle and took it for granted.
However, after centuries of peaceful life, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared.
"Wake up, the sun's already high in the sky."
Lu Chen touched her forehead, and a surge of magic gently flowed into her, awakening her dormant consciousness.
"!!!"
The hazy consciousness that had been dormant was suddenly jolted awake by a powerful shock and stimulation.
The girl opened her eyes, and her crimson pupils immediately caught sight of the man in front of her.
The ancient city has been invaded!
Upon waking, she immediately realized something terrible.
Someone who could break through the barrier and enter her sleeping place must be extraordinary, and they even approached her silently.
boom!--
The girl grabbed Lu Chen's arm with one hand, suddenly sprang into action, and a terrifying magical power erupted from her body, enough to tear an ordinary person to shreds in an instant.
Snapped.
Lu Chen casually held Arcueid's two hands, looking at the blonde girl in front of him with a slight amusement.
"Are you still asleep? Don't get agitated, we mean no harm, we're not here to divide you up."
"I just came to talk to you."
"..."
Arcueid tried to struggle, but found herself completely subdued.
Not only physical strength, but also magic, there is no one in countless battles who can completely suppress her.
Meeting Arcueid's suspicious gaze, Lu Chen added a couple more sentences.
“Arquette Brunstadt, I can help you completely eliminate Roya. We should be on the same page in our goal of taking him down.”
"?"
"You...know me?"
Hearing Lu Chen call out his name without any hesitation, and also his enemy who had been entangled with him for hundreds of years, Arcueid calmed down for the time being.
She glanced at Lu Chen, then at Sajou Aika standing beside her, and was certain that they were nowhere to be found in any of her memories.
Who exactly are you?
"Well... it's a long story."
Lu Chen smiled and helped her up.
"Come to your senses, and then we can talk?"
(The image shows Arcueid).
Chapter 1442 The Naturally Clumsy Moon Princess
"what?"
Contrary to her cold and mysterious appearance, Lu Chen and Ai Ge discovered that Arcueid was a bit of a ditz.
She listened attentively to Lu Chen's account of his origins and those of the Star Sea Empire, just like a child, occasionally raising her hand to ask questions.
"Another universe?... I knew you looked weird."
"I thought ordinary humans had become this ridiculously powerful in this era. This gave me quite a shock."
For extraordinary beings like the "True Ancestor," understanding this concept is not difficult.
The princess moved closer to Lu Chen, looked him up and down, and even sniffed his scent.
The proximity was so great that Aika Sajou almost protested.
"Too close! Move away from the Commander!!"
"Oh, don't be afraid, I don't suck blood."
Arcueid shook her head, thinking she was worried about something strange.
"what?"
Seeing Aika's bewildered expression, Lu Chen and Arcueid explained a few more things. In the world of Tsukihime, there exist beings that feed on the blood of other creatures—vampires, including "True Ancestors" and "Vampires."
Most of the True Ancestors were created by Type: Moon, the Moon King.
He descended to Earth in response to Gaia's request and the signal to help transform the world into a more perfect true world, but His true purpose was to control the Earth.
After arriving on Earth, they discovered that they belonged neither to the primates nor to Gaia, and that they would be corrected by the inhibitory force sooner or later, which led them to the idea of having a successor.
Thus, he created his own degenerate copy version – the "True Ancestor".
He repeatedly tried to reincarnate by giving birth to progenitors of the same level of power as himself, but failed each time.
Until 300 AD, the Second Magician, Gemstone, accepted the request of his junior brother, who was also a professor at Solomon, and led a group of magicians to challenge Zhu Yue as the Grand Marshal of the Magic Path. They destroyed Zhu Yue's physical body, but the True Ancestor was left behind.
Over the long years, many Progenitors degenerated into demon kings who could not resist their desires and indiscriminately drank human blood. In order to deal with the demon kings and other vampires, the Progenitors created Arcueid.
She is the only True Ancestor who appeared after Zhu Yue was destroyed. She is a weapon created by the True Ancestors and Gaia, possessing the potential of a UO and combat abilities far stronger than other True Ancestors.
It exists solely to cleanse the corrupted progenitors.
"Whoa..."
Aigo's gaze lingered on Arcueid a few times.
She felt that, as a fellow vampire, the Moon Princess was far more sophisticated than the other guy in the Star Empire who only wanted to suck the commander's blood.
"You know a lot."
Arcueid looked at Lu Chen with great interest.
She discovered that Lu Chen not only knew what she knew, but also understood things that existed before she was born, things that she didn't know.
"How old are you? You're not older than me, are you? You look quite young. You don't seem to have any signs of death at all."
The princess asked curiously.
"This is just a small part of the power of omniscience."
Lu Chen smiled and casually produced some tea, snacks, and small treats to entertain Arcueid.
"Then... what are you doing in this world?"
Arcueid raised the same question as Ryougi Shiki and Sajou Aika before.
Lu Chen gave her almost the exact same answer.
"Converge the world, unify the timeline."
"On behalf of the Commander of the Starsea Empire, I extend an invitation to you to return with us to the Starsea Empire and start a new life there."
“I will help you complete your mission as a True Ancestor to hunt down Roya.”
"Huh?..."
Arcueid tilted his head.
Most of the time, she was indifferent to everything except fighting.
I haven't received much education about human society; all my knowledge about modern society comes from being bombarded into my mind every time I wake up.
But the Starsea Empire was clearly an unknown to her.
"Is this... an invitation for me to live somewhere else?"
Faced with this unprecedented proposal, the girl's mind was a little slow to process it.
However, their curiosity about Lu Chen and the Star Sea Empire was like a flame; once it started to burn, it would never stop.
"You even know about Roya's affairs? How is that possible?"
“He is currently inactive; otherwise, I would have woken up on my own to execute him and wouldn’t have waited for you to arrive…”
“I not only know where he is now, but I also know who he was reincarnated as. It’s easy to deal with him. Oh, and the Tono family’s affairs also need to be dealt with.”
Lu Chen's gaze passed through the ancient city and looked towards the more distant human world.
Just like dealing with Zouken Matou and saving Fujino Asagami, some things need to be done early, before tragedy strikes.
"Oh……"
The princess found the man before her increasingly mysterious, and a strange variable had entered her otherwise monotonous life.
Although there are still many things she doesn't understand, Arcueid doesn't dislike this feeling.
"Okay~"
She readily agreed.
"You're an incredible guy... Well then, please take care of me and tell me more about you guys? Please! —"
(The image is still Arcueid).
