Dusk Chronicles
Chapter 8



"I don't know how I came here either. I really got hit by a tsunami. I was in Manarola at the time looking for your information."


"What are you looking for me for?"


"Of course to be a witch." Melyan was possessed by the actor god again. She didn't even know if she was acting or not, because she really wanted to be a witch.


I want to be a witch, even the ugliest and dumbest of witches, as long as it's a witch.


"I've checked your information. The tsunami changed your life. Although the specific process wasn't clearly written in your diary, I'm sure you're just like me, not qualified to be a witch before."


Although it was a remark he made, but those words came from the bottom of his heart. ‘How do you improve your intelligence?’


"What do you think is magic?" Zaix interrupted Melyan calmly.


Melyan. This question does not seem to have a proper answer, and it is often asked. He knew ten answers that sounded interesting.


But given the ups and downs of Zaix's life and the old desires he never achieved, there should only be one answer that suits him best.


Melyan thought for a moment and then said confidently. "Magic can make the impossible possible."


“Making something impossible becomes possible?” Zaix was deeply moved by this answer.


He did not speak for a long time, and Melyan was forced to wait anxiously.


Making use of the time, Melyan looked at Zulia and discovered that Zulia happened to be staring at her. The two looked at each other at a glance, and then retracted their respective gazes.


Suddenly Zaix sighed.


"You used to live here as punishment for lying to me. As for the answer you want, I'll tell you when I'm in a good mood."


Finished speaking, Zaix waved his hand, and pushed Melyan into the prison with his magic.


"Rel ...." Zaix had already disappeared before Melyan finished her words.


"What the hell, don't give me a chance to talk at all."


He muttered and sat down.


But the next problem continued.


"Who are you, why do you know me?"


Zulia looked at him with a sharp look.


Zulia Edwards, 19. His father was Caleb Edwards, the famous Rose Duke of the Morning Star. This family that had stood since the founding of the Morning Star, always bore the heavy responsibility of protecting the kingdom.


In the game, Zulia first appears in the year of the Flower Luster. At the conference where the younger generation of the three great empires competed against each other, this was just a ruse used to open the "Arena Mode" in the Twilight Era. The process of matches between non-player characters is not aired, only the time and results are announced, the entire process of the game can only be estimated through the player's brain. But even so, Zulia's victory attracted a lot of attention.


And the reason for his victory was not because of his beautiful face and ideal body, but because his grandfather, Reinhardt, the legendary swordsman of the Morning Star, left history in various records of the Swordsman Association.


If Mangaza was the perfect template for any magician, then Reinhardt was the ideal man for all swordsmen. This handsome blonde boy has been a genius since childhood. He held a sword at the age of 3. At the age of 10, he became the youngest apprentice swordsman in the history of the Swordsman Association. He successfully passed the wood, iron, silver and gold level test before the age of 16, broke many records, and then reached the level of 70 at the age of 20.


It seems that this kind of genius only exists in fantasy novels.


However, the next incident was really in everyone's guess.


Reinhardt became an enemy of the New Gods due to his overly conspicuous character, resulting in the 765 Calendar of Faith, the year in which Zulia was born. Reinhardt who has just become a legendary swordsman is attacked by a mysterious group of people. Although his life survived, but his strength fell drastically. Dramatic scenes like this caused his reputation to be ruined and became the biggest insult to the Edwards family.


Lesser-known Zulia at the time won the match on her own, as if letting everyone see the shadow of her grandfather, Reinhardt.


If Melyan remembered correctly, when Zulia won the match, some people concluded that from the aura she exuded, Zulia's level was probably above 60, at least at the skill maturation stage.


But judging from the current situation, the gentle girl in front of him did not look to be reaching that level in the next year. Could it be that his achievements had something to do with Zaix?


“Oh, sorry, I was too focused just now.” Melyan scratched his head in embarrassment. "Why did Miss Zulia appear here under a pseudonym?"


Zulia suddenly felt that Melyan was a little disrespectful since Melyan not only did not answer her question, but also did not stop looking at her. Zulia felt that Melyan was as dirty as the mercenaries she had teamed with. Zulia's attitude became cold in an instant, but still tried to remain polite.


"Does this have anything to do with you?"


Melyan did not know why Zulia's attitude towards him had changed completely, and made the atmosphere a little awkward.


"I'm sorry, I was in too much of a hurry."


The two were silent for a while, Melyan could not help his curiosity, and his habit as a scholar who liked to ask relapsed again.


"Miss Zulia, your relationship with the third prince ..."


"Sheiful sir!"


"Sorry, I just ...." Melyan knew that she had made Zulia angry, and she apologized immediately.


Zulia's relationship with the third prince had long made many players curious.


The third prince of the Morning Star, Luolan, was born in the year 750 of the Calendar of Faith, 15 older than Zulia, but the two married in the third year of the Calendar of the Twilight, when the new expansion "Return of the Dead" began. And according to the news, the engagement of the two had been made in the year of Zulia's birth.


Everyone was very curious about the secret behind the incident. Some people analyze it from a psychological point of view. After a serious injury, Reinhardt pinned all his hopes on his talented granddaughter, so Reinhardt demanded his granddaughter strictly from childhood, thus making her granddaughter experience the electra complex, she had an over-interest in adult men. Some say that this was actually a royal family conspiracy, performing forced marriages when the Edwards family's fame dimmed. The goal is to destroy the Edwards family that has stood since the founding of the Morning Star kingdom. There were also players who questioned Zulia's source of power, saying that Zulia had made secret transactions with the royal family, using secret treasures to level up, and that she had not been able to do so, and resurrect the Edwards family's glory while winning glory for the country.


After all, everyone's opinion was different, everyone felt that there was a big secret behind the incident. Especially after that, almost all instances of the dungeon were completed under his leadership, which was after he became empress, his popularity increased, the marriage was in the spotlight of many people.


Melyan who basically did not care much about gossip, was not interested in the matter, but she was not affected by the legendary magician, Wynn, who liked to gossip beside her. After becoming acquainted with Melyan, his hobby is to ask Melyan to help him analyze the twists and turns behind the incident, and also tell Melyan a secret, that is, after the end of the Hogarth war, that is, in the 35th year of the Twilight Era, Zulia was still a virgin.


At that moment, Melyan asked in wonder how Wynn knew it, Wynn smiled mysteriously and did not reply. After a long time, he told her about it while drunk.


"Zulia came to Morrowind, Elisha and the others liked her very much, so Zulia brought some cat girls back to the palace. Later, I found out that both Elisha and Lulu had a sense of smell that could tell whether a girl was a virgin or not. Girls who are virgins have a special interest in cat girls, which is why Zulia is so fond of them, it really makes me jealous."


Melyan knew that cat humans were born with a perception value of over 10, and could sense the intentions of those around them, but she did not expect that their perceptions still had such a strange function.


The marriage of Zulia and the third prince turned out to be only an outward appearance, there were still so many stories behind them, and now, the main character was sitting quietly in front of him.


However, Melyan's gossipy desire had been lost by Zulia's cold demeanor. He was forced to move to a corner and quietly thought about what to do next.


"Wehuwera's lying too, right?" Zulia's words spread her mind.


But this time Melyan had already learned from his previous experience, fearing that Zaix would hide and eavesdrop, he said nothing.


However, Zulia further exposed Melyan's lies.


"I've been leaving the Morning Star for four years. How could anyone possibly recognize me at a glance, let alone I not know you at all."


Melyan was surprised when she heard Zulia's words, she got another important piece of information.


Melyan immediately entered this information into a large database in his brain and began to analyze it.


According to the records, four years ago, after Zulia and the third prince had finished getting engaged, Zulia was sent to Morrowind Academy to attend the study, so according to what Zulia said, Zulia was, actually Zulia's goal of entering Morrowind was just a cover.


What is behind this cover? A 15-year-old girl who just got engaged can be set up to do what secret mission? Back then he should have still not reached the silver level, so the Edward family could not have used him to carry out the mission.


Could that cover be the last option?


What scandal could make the Rose Duke, Morrowind Academy and the Royal Family work together to keep it a secret from the public?


Of course only one, Zulia ran away from her marriage.


Only this could make both sides feel ashamed and forced to work with Morrowind to keep it a secret.
