I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

When he saw Drizzt, Lu Tan felt like he was in another world.

After all, he had just heard the news of Drizzt's death before. The Xuanjun who suppressed the old rulers in the cave of Jiangcheng Mountain was his familiar old friend Drizzt. Now that the closed loop of fate has been achieved, he can once again It was really touching to see Drizzt.

Lu Tan sat in the carriage and the team continued to move.

He glanced at Sia and then at Stone, as if seeking their answers.

"I already know."

Drizzt suddenly spoke at this time.

He didn't explain what he knew, but judging from his eyes and expression, it should be everything.

"When I saw Stone, I already had a hunch. After all, there is no second pipe."

Drizzt took out the briar pipe from his arms. Even the pattern on Stone's hand was exactly the same.

"So, I will participate in a mission next, going to the past of your world to suppress an old ruler?"

He confirmed again.

Lu Tan nodded.

"Because I saved your world, you were able to be born in that world and finally meet me. Therefore, when we first met, the ending was already determined and the fate was already closed, right?"

Drizzt asked in the swaying carriage. The gloomy sunlight filtered through the gaps between the trees and penetrated into the carriage through the door of the carriage. The dust raised showed the traces of light.

"right."

Shia answered.

She knew very well that Drizzt, who was sitting in front of them now, was Drizzt after [Flower of Glass] and before [Conjuring Night]. This should be Drizzt participating in a certain mission during that time. After that, he will take on the mission to the foreign land where Lu Tiao is, and finally meet his end there.

Of course, even if he told Drizzt this, he would not have any real feelings.

From his perspective, he just hadn't seen Lu Tan and Shia for a while. Who would have thought that to them, they are already a dead person.

"But not quite."

Shia explained again.

"To be precise, what we have observed so far is that the world of Lu Jian was preserved due to Xuanjun's actions. You never returned to the abandoned capital after a certain mission, at least you did not appear in front of Stone's eyes. And what you left behind will let Lu Tan know that Lord Xuan is you."

"What message did I leave?"

Drizzt asked.

Stone was about to answer, but Sia stopped him.

"You don't know what words you will leave behind now. There may be a turning point here."

The mage girl said.

"Because this sentence is the evidence that Lu Tan judges that Lord Xuan is Drizzt. If we don't leak this sentence to you, it means that fate can be changed."

"What's the meaning?"

Drizzt doesn't quite understand. Some of these things involve himself, and some involve the chaotic time in the Quiet Place. It is difficult for people who perceive time to be one-way, which is difficult to understand.

"Lu Tan did not witness the process of you becoming Xuanjun and finally dying. So, if we can find some way to intervene, then the fact that we knew in the past that you became Xuanjun and died may not be true. You actually hid and survived, but we all thought you were dead."

Shia explained.

"Like, I first saw a piece of cake in your hand. I turned around to look outside the carriage. When I looked back, the cake was gone. There was a little cream on the corner of your mouth. So I judged that it was You have your cake and eat it, that’s logical.”

"But it may actually be like this. I was upset because you ate my cake, so I developed the magic to travel through time and space, and went back to the past. When I looked out the window in the past, I came back to grab it in the future. Take the cake and eat it, and put a little cream on the corner of your mouth."

"In this way, my past has not changed, but the cake has actually been eaten by my future self."

After hearing Shia's explanation, Drizzt and Stone looked at each other.

Only Lu Tiao spoke.

"I want to eat cake too."

"I want to eat, too."

Shia nodded in agreement and looked at Drizzt again.

"Do you understand it?"

"But, if that's really me, I should be seen by others when I die. What kind of inheritance or something? How can I explain this?"

Drizzt still found it hard to understand.

"What I just said can only be recognized by the Chosen Ones, because the Chosen Ones are people who have traveled through time and space. For those descendants, because they cannot recognize time other than their own, they treat them badly. As far as I'm concerned, those possibilities are empty."

Shia explained.

"If you think of your journey as a novel, then they are the people in the book. The people in the book will never know that they are in a story. For them, only the page they are read by the reader is the only one they know. It really exists, and we, as readers, can flip through it at will, or even skip some chapters, to reorganize the story at will."

"That's why I said that if Drizzt doesn't know that sentence yet, then we have more room for redemption."

She looked at Stone and then at Lu Tian.

"Is this so..."

Drizzt was lost in thought.

Telling him that he was about to die was too shocking, and Shia said these words that could save him. He really needed time to digest it.

"However, Lao Cui's incident also confirms a result, that is, he will definitely be able to leave the Kingdom of Darkness from this mission, which means that our mission will definitely succeed."

Lu Tan said again, casting his gaze on Drizzt.

"Even if you say that, I won't be happy."

Drizzt subconsciously wanted to light his pipe, but after thinking about the carriage and the lady, he put the pipe back in his pocket.

"That won't happen."

Shia said aloud, she was denying Lu Tan's words.

"This is the ancient Kingdom of Night, before the Gray Tower was established, and I come from the Kingdom of Night in the future. The fact that I can stand here and use spells means that the establishment of the Gray Tower is an inevitable event and a closed loop of fate."

"Moreover, there is also a possibility that the establishment of the Gray Tower is inevitable, but it may not necessarily be built with our help."

Stone reminded.

Indeed, judging from the history that Shia can observe, there is no doubt about the establishment of the Gray Tower. Therefore, even if they fail this time and escape by chance, there will be others to help build the Gray Tower, which will only be a few at most. There is only a gap of years, or more than ten years. It is not rigorous to rely on the existing history to judge the future of the mission.

"No, the establishment of the Gray Tower is inevitable, and it is definitely our result."

Lu Tan suddenly said at this time.
