Otherwise, you can find another savior.

Shiomi hugged her tightly, trying hard to remember the temperature of her body, the smell of her hair, and her voice which was always as clear as water, yet concealed warmth.

Only in this way can he find her in the past as soon as possible.

"Time is precious. I need to start preparing the ritual." Morgan whispered in his ear, "I'll leave my past self to my husband."

"To be honest, I'm worried whether you in the 'past' would like me."

"Yes, even..." Morgan stopped talking halfway, "Forget it, my husband will experience it himself when the time comes."

"Eh..." Xijian complained softly.

Morgan pushed Shiomi away, and the "Ice Coffin" began to appear from under his feet.

"Once the Ice Coffin is completed, your consciousness will be interrupted. Of course, it will be like a blink of an eye to you." Morgan said word by word, "I will send you directly to Orkney in northern Britain 6000 years ago."

“Is that your hometown?”

"Well, it's a small country where it rains most of the year. It's a little poor but very peaceful." Morgan recounted the past with a gentle look in his eyes.

"Is that why it's called the Rain Country?" Xi Jian thought for a moment. "By the way, if I meet you from the 'past', how should I introduce myself? Should I just say 'I'm your future husband'?"

"That's not a bad idea." Morgan did not object, but instead had an expectant expression.

The "ice coffin" slowly wrapped around most of Shiomi's body. He began to feel sleepy. Shiomi knew that this was a sign that his consciousness was about to be temporarily interrupted.

"Finally, as a farewell, I have thought for a long time about what to say, and now I know." Morgan looked into Shiomi's eyes.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it... I know it in my heart--"

Shiomi tried hard to smile with his stiff face, but before he could finish his words, Morgan kissed his lips again as she had done in the past.

A kiss that was brief but seemed eternal, and the goodbye that followed.

"I will wait for you in the future, my husband."

Loss of consciousness.

The sky suddenly darkened.

In an instant, a ray of light descended from the thick dark clouds that covered the sky and landed on the ice coffin.

After a brief distortion of time and space, the place where Morgan was was completely empty.

Morgan looked at his body that had become transparent and then smiled with satisfaction.

A gust of wind blew, and the weeds in the wilderness swayed in the wind, but the witch's swaying skirt could no longer be seen.

Ending

Thank you to all the readers who have accompanied this book all the way to here. This is the first time in three years that I have serialized a book with more than 100 million words.

But as you can see, this book is far from over.

The next entire volume will be about the Fairy Country.

As you can see, there are two changes in the setting between the Morgan in this book and the Morgan in the original work.

The next volume is the first part of the whole book that was conceived, but it is only now that I have officially started to write it. Even I feel that it has been a bit long.

Anyway, I hope you all like it.

Note:

It's not that the first five Lostbelts are completely skipped, but the Fairy Kingdom is written first.

Volume 8: Britain, the Fairy Island

Prologue: Ash of the Rain Clan (Part 1)

Orkney, northern Britain.

It snowed in the early morning, and the dense snowflakes wrapped up the haze of the winter morning, covering the northern islands with thick snow flakes. The whole of Orkney seemed to be sleeping, like a corner far away from the world that had been forgotten for a long time.

The crunching sound of the thick snow being stepped on echoed in the silent forest.

Two figures walked one after the other through the snow-covered forest road.

"I say, Ash... Is it necessary to run into the forest so early in the morning?" asked the girl following behind, while brushing off the thin snowflakes accumulated on her cloak, and asking the girl in front.

"There's something in the forest that concerns me, and I want to investigate. If you're feeling cold, Vivian, it's okay if you go back first." Ash slowed down his pace, paused, and smiled back at the girl walking with him. "We're both going into the forest in this heavy snow, and we haven't told Mother in advance. Will we be scolded?"

What he meant was that Jian hoped that Vivian, who was following him, would go back first.

Vivian is the biological daughter of Jian's stepmother and also her non-blood-related sister. Her stepmother is even stricter with Vivian than with Jian.

"Then it's better for me to accompany you. In case mother gets angry, there will be someone to accompany you to be scolded." Vivian sighed and followed her.

"I don't think I'll get scolded. At most, I won't be able to go out until winter is over." Jian tried to put the situation in a positive light.

Vivian thought it made sense: "After all, you obviously prefer to stay in your room and read, so why did you suddenly want to run into the forest today?"

"Yes, why?" Jian answered without comment.

She continued walking, with Vivian following closely behind.

Just before dawn, Jian had a strange dream, which clearly and intermittently foreshadowed some things.

She had thought it was just a random dream, but after waking up, these intermittent, prophetic messages still lingered in her mind. Moreover, these messages kept hinting at something waiting for her in the snow-covered forest outside the city where the Rain Clan lived.

Had to check, had to confirm.

As he headed deeper into the forest, Jian thought about the whole thing over and over again along the way, and vaguely felt that he had grasped the essence of the dream.

That was not her dream, but a message conveyed to her by someone.

And it's from the distant future.

in the end……

Jian was vaguely convinced that the answer she wanted was deep in the forest.

At this moment, she was following her intuition, identifying the magic mixed in the air, finding the only different magical aura, and moving step by step towards a specific direction.

Soon, the two girls' vision suddenly became clear, and the boundary of the forest center appeared before them.

"Mirror Lake?" Vivian looked at the lake, which was covered by a thin mist and falling snowflakes. "Did we take the wrong path?"

Now in the depths of winter, the lake is frozen, and the ice is covered with a thin layer of snow.

“…No, I didn’t go wrong.”

Ash took off her hat, brushed off the snow, and put it back on. She stretched out her hand and pointed to the center of the frozen lake.

"Is there... anything over there?" Vivian observed carefully.

The Rain Fairy's innate vision allowed her to penetrate the mist and falling snow and discover what seemed to be something in the center of the vast lake.

"That's it." Ash tightened his grip on the wand.

When she went out, she habitually took this magic dress with her. It was the thing that drifted to Orkney with her when she was a baby.

"Eh? Are we going over there?" Vivian suddenly became a little nervous. "Even if the Mirror Lake is frozen, you see the ice is already cracking—"

Before she finished speaking, Ash slowly floated up. She skillfully poured magic power into her wand and performed the magic of floating.

"As long as you don't step on it, it'll be fine." Jian smiled confidently, "Wait for me here, Vivian."

"Wait a moment--"

It was obvious that Jian had decided to see what was going on. Vivian couldn't dissuade him and could only wait nervously on the shore.

Ash slowly drifted towards the center of Mirror Lake. As she got closer, she could clearly see the "existence" at the center of the lake.

"Ice? And who else is frozen in it? A human?"

When he got closer, Jian opened his eyes wide in confusion.

She hovered in surprise in front of a huge block of ice embedded in the lake. The reflection of the ice prevented her from seeing the person inside.

"Was he thrown here like this as punishment by some goblin?"

The guess was denied while talking to himself.

This is not ordinary ice, but the proper posture of a magic trick that she has been studying but has not yet completed.

"'Coffin'?" Jian freed one hand and reached hesitantly towards the ice coffin.

Her fairy eyes have seen through the composition of magic.

Who on earth can use such a perfect "coffin" magic?

In doubt, Jian's fingertips touched the ice coffin.

"Eh?"

Cracks instantly began to appear in the ice coffin, and the complicated information added to the coffin's spell rushed into Jian's mind.

Before she could figure out the content of the information, the impact of the ice coffin breaking was transmitted to the frozen lake surface.

The ash tree floating on the lake had chosen to use magic to float closer in order to deal with this kind of unexpected situation.

However, there is still a deviation now.

"The flow of magic power... has been disrupted?! What on earth is——"

The floating magic could no longer be maintained, and with a scream, she fell into the cracked lake.

Jian, who spent most of the year in her study and rarely went out, was not good at sports. She could walk on water with magic, but she had never learned to swim.

Any stone might be better at swimming than her.

With its magic power disturbed, the ash thrashed around in the freezing water for a few times, but before it could grab the floating ice, it sank to the bottom of the lake.

Vivian's panicked cries gradually faded away.

Before she drowned and fell unconscious, she felt sorry for Vivian and her stepmother with a touch of sadness, saying that the consequences of her lack of planning would surely make them sad.

When he woke up again, Jian was a little dazed, not because of the trip back and forth between life and death, but because of a pair of exceptionally beautiful eyes.

Eyes dyed with thick ink mixed with a hint of silver, like Orkney in this season, with fine snow dust falling endlessly from the sky until the world returns to pure white silence.

"Are you okay?" the man asked with concern.

The man holding her was kneeling on the ground, his whole body wet, his brows filled with worry were extremely moist, and he was full of indescribable elegance.

"...I'm fine."

Ash murmured in reply.

Prologue: Ash of the Rain Clan (Part 2)

Jian gradually came back to her senses from her trance and found herself lying in a man's arms. She felt her ears and cheeks were a little hot, so she held her face with both hands, looked outside with an evasive look, and saw the lake surface with broken ice.

Then she remembered what had happened, and even more so why she was there and where the man came from.

The other party is the human being sealed in the ice coffin.

"Did you... save me?" Jian asked tentatively.

"I just opened my eyes and saw you fall into the lake. I tried my best to bring you back to shore." The man explained in a gentle voice, "Luckily, it's nothing serious."

When he said this, there was a sense of relief in his voice for having survived a disaster.

It was Jian who nearly fell into the water and drowned, but he was even more nervous and scared than Jian.

"Thank you." Jian felt the sincere kindness and couldn't help but smile and express his gratitude to him.

"Ash!"

Vivian ran anxiously along the riverbank. From the shore, she saw Ash fall into the water, and then saw the human male sink with him. Not long after, he floated up, carrying Ash, and landed on the ice floe in an incredible way. After a few ups and downs, he returned to the shore.

A little weird, but not a bad guy.

"Vivian..." Jian tried to get up from the man's arms, but she was too weak.
