The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Jiang Liujing listened to their conversation for a while, and doubts arose in his mind.

What sets Ernst apart from other nations? Why is it the only one untouched by the Black Mist?

"Come to think of it, Ernst used to be known as the 'Land of Sin.' After all, its early inhabitants were the Frost and Ink People, who were called 'Sons of Sinners' by the Cult. Now that the Cult has fallen, our status has actually risen significantly."

The female captain was deeply moved as she spoke.

Ten years ago, Ernst was on the brink of life and death, and I wonder if those who left now regret it.

But no matter how much they regret it, they have been blacklisted and will no longer be eligible for the Ernst Nationals.

The two old men were thinking, but Chi turned his head slightly and looked at the empty place in the corridor. He raised an eyebrow and said, "If you want to listen, just come over and listen. What are you doing in a place like that?"

If Chi hadn't known it was him, he would have suspected that he was an enemy because of his sneaky movements.

The other three stopped talking and looked over, their eyes filled with surprise. Xing Yue, in particular, was almost incredulous - he hadn't noticed Jiang Liujing's presence at all.

Being able to do this only means that Jiang Liujing's magic power is now much stronger than his.

Jiang Liujing finally managed to cancel his disguise magic and reveal himself. He met Chi's gaze, not lowering his head but raising his chin even higher. He said with a righteous indignation, "What's wrong with listening to what you guys are saying behind my back? What if you're saying something bad about me?"

The female captain's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she immediately explained, "No, we were just discussing something serious..."

"Who has the guts to say bad things about you?"

Sang Mo finished speaking faster than her, wordlessly waving a vine to pull Jiang Liujing over directly, speaking in a sarcastic tone.

"We saw the piglet sleeping in the room, so we deliberately ran away to talk to you so as not to wake you up. But we ended up being considered as saying bad things behind your back. Oh, it's really hard to be a good person."

Jiang Liujing accused him: "You are saying bad things about me now!"

Sang Mo raised an eyebrow: "Is this what you call behind your back? I said it to your face."

It's aboveboard and upright, how can it be considered as doing it behind the scenes?

Sang Mo said that he has always been an upright person, and Cricket is also a cricket in front of him.

Jiang Liujing: "..."

Jiang Liujing couldn't argue with him, so he turned around and looked at Chi angrily.

Chi was stunned by his glare for a moment, raised his finger and pointed at himself, a rare look of confusion appeared on his cold face - how come Sang Mo provoked someone, but in the end he was the one being glared at by Jiang Liujing?

Chi expressed innocence and confusion.

But no one gave him an answer. After Jiang Liujing glared at the person to vent his anger, he calmed down and got down to business.

He said to the female captain, "Just now, when you mentioned the Frost Ink People, I suddenly remembered that our teacher mentioned in class that there was a rumor on the continent that the Frost Ink People were the bloodline left behind by a past disaster. Captain, is this rumor true?"

The female captain hesitated for a moment, with a look of confusion in her eyes, as if she didn't know whether she should say it or not, but finally nodded.

She whispered, "There's indeed a theory about the origins of the original Frost Ink People. It's said that a contaminated being fused with a normal human, and the resulting babies, born from normal mothers, grew up to possess powers unlike any other."

People at that time wanted to kill them as a hidden threat, but a small number of them survived and grew up.

Others also discovered from these survivors that when they grew up normally, they did not show any crazy traits, and did not inherit the contaminated seeds as they thought. Therefore, they stopped hunting them because it was too inhumane.

However, there is still a lot of discrimination in society, and the differences in blood and abilities make them outliers among normal people.

It was also in such an environment that all the talents of different races gathered together to form a new race - the Frost and Ink People.

As the female captain narrated, the other people were all slightly startled and looked at Jiang Liujing as if they had thought of something.

Xing Yue's usually calm voice couldn't help but rise rapidly: "Could it be because of this?"

The bloodline that was born during the disaster had resistance to the next disaster, so it was unaffected when faced with the same source of disaster. The same thought came to the minds of several people.

The female captain looked confused. Which one?

Because the information had not yet been passed on, the people in Ernst did not know that the disaster happening now was the same as that ten thousand years ago. However, Xing Yue and others knew it very well.

Jiang Liujing nodded, his eyes also shining brightly. "It's very likely, Grandpa. I'll ask you to go find Estes and tell him this news. The Frost Ink People may be the key to solving this disaster!"

He clenched his fists, unable to contain his excitement.

At this moment, Jiang Liujing thought that his previous evaluation of human beings, no, of life, was still biased.

He thought that human beings were fragile beings who had no power to resist disasters, but in fact, life was always looking for a way out.

Even if it was ten thousand years ago, when no gods descended, after the extinction of the old humans, the new humans would eventually become the people of Frost and Ink and survive in the new world.

A race that can last for ten thousand years must have its own strengths in survival.

Jiang Liujing thought that he still had a lot to learn.

After getting off the boat, they split into two groups.

Xing Yue went to the palace alone. He was no longer a wanted criminal, but a legitimate duke.

Because of his outstanding achievements in the war, he was extremely well-known in the country. Soldiers and pedestrians walking on the street would look at him and salute him with excited expressions.

Jiang Liujing and the other two returned to the Lost Forest first.

When Jiang Liujing saw the familiar cabin and Crescent Lake, his body paused, a myriad of emotions suddenly emerged in his heart, and he was speechless for a long time. He could only stand in front of the door in silence.

Sang Mo chuckled softly and said jokingly, "When you left, you were only slightly taller than the door handle. Now you've grown quite a bit taller."

Jiang Liujing could tell that he was trying to amuse him, so he turned his head away and said, "I'm still a bit behind you guys."

There are four people in the family, and except for him, each of them is over 1.9 meters tall, and Chi is over 2 meters tall.

Jiang Liujing had barely grown to 1.8 meters after two years of sleeping. He was not short among humans, but at home he was like a child running into a group of adults. Jiang Liujing was very upset about this.

He opened the door and suddenly said, "I left in such a hurry. I should have brought Ajin, Dahei and the others back with me."

Ajin can be summoned through a contract, but Dahei can't.

Jiang Liujing saw the birdcage hanging on the wall, and in an instant all the memories he thought he had long forgotten flooded into his mind.

Here he met his grandfather, Chi, and his first mythical beast friends.

Time has passed for a long time, but it has never faded. It seems that everything has happened just yesterday.

"If they leave, the place of fantasy beasts will be in chaos. Let's keep them. It won't be too late to let them come back when everything is over." Chi said lightly.

Jiang Liujing laughed and raised his head: "That's right."

The turmoil will eventually end, and he will realize his original wish and create a paradise for his family where they can live in peace and happiness.

This was the most resolute will of Jiang Liujing, and he would never allow anything to undermine it.
