Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 357 Spark
Revealing her true identity to the Forbidden Research Society was Lucia's plan long before this battle.

Earlier, recruiting Se Lian and others with the identity of "Eternal Dragon" was a last resort. At that time, Lucia had just made a name for herself in the Golden Capital. It was a fantasy to want to recruit Se Lian, an academic fanatic who even looked down on the Full Moon Queen, with her own reputation.

Furthermore, appearing as Lucia at that time could not explain the existence of the Memory Battlefield. Before Gaileed's trip, even he himself thought that the Memory Battlefield was just a cheat that the time traveler was born with. Could it be that he patted Ren Se Lian's shoulder and said, "I have a cheat, follow me"?
However, after such a long period of settling down, and with this battle to kill the gods first, the situation is very different.

To put it simply, firstly, the three members of the Taboo Research Society have already established a relatively solid foundation of trust with me during this period of time.

Se Lian has followed the "Eternal Dragon" for the longest time and has the deepest understanding of his power and majesty. They have similar aspirations and can be considered his die-hard fan.

Black Moon Saint Adelina regards the belief in the Moon God as her life. She has seen the projection of the Moon God in the battlefield of memories, and sensed the breath of the Moon God fighting alongside him in the battle of Shattered Star. Needless to say,

As for Tops, his character is much simpler than Serlian's. Serlian was kind to him and he also had the honor of guiding him. Even without this battle, the possibility of his betrayal would be almost zero.

In addition to this simple yet rare trust, the second reason is that he can now explain part of the foundation of the memory battlefield.

Of course, this doesn't mean that he needs to come and confess anything to the three of them, but through this conversation with Carter Pella, he discovered that whether it is the existence of the Memory Battlefield, the secret of his ability to establish a spiritual connection with the Star-Moon Survivors, or even the identity of a "traveler" itself, it seems that they are not secrets at all to some beings standing behind him.

He is the final product of the "Emperor's Plan". His parents know about it, the Mother of Dragons and the Queen of Death know about it, so doesn't the God of March know about it?
As his most trusted ally in the forbidden war and also the most direct enemy of the Supreme Will, he did not think that the other party knew nothing about this a thousand years ago, otherwise it would not have been possible for him to call out his real name directly when he just woke up.

Even the realization of this plan and the emergence of this memory battlefield are most likely the result of the direct participation of the three Moon Gods.

To put it another way, the existence of the "Eternal Dragon" is not a shameful secret that was fabricated by oneself, but a spark that was preserved by the entire Star-Moon civilization a thousand years ago with all their efforts, a spark that ignited this vigorous revenge and revolution.

Therefore, confessing the identity does not mean that the "Eternal Dragon" took off his vest and exposed the identity of "Lucia Shanks", but from then on, the "Eternal Dragon" from outside the domain can wear the crown of "Lucia Shanks" with dignity and appear in front of the Star-Moon Survivors.

Correspondingly, the last reason, and the most realistic reason, is that after killing Esti, "Lucia Shanks" can finally bear the weight of the "Eternal Dragon".

As Selian said, they don't care what the real name of the god they follow is, as long as the god shows enough power and walks on the same path as them.

The fate and future of the Star-Moon Clan could not be shouldered by the ancient dragon prince who once lived in the Golden Capital and was no different from a proton in essence. But now the new dragon leader who dominates the East Continent, has an army of 300,000 and can defeat gods in one battle can shoulder the responsibility.

Once the three conditions are met, wearing a mask to cover up will only do harm rather than good.

Now Lucia can openly deploy all the intelligence and resources in reality to use here, and can also reversely order the Taboo Research Society to act on reality and directly solve the many problems facing the Ancient Dragon Dynasty.

There were two things that could be delivered to them - the reception and integration of Rhea-Lucalia, and the Unified Theory.

"As you three can see, my other identity is the son of Platon Sanx and Helarius, the Lord of the Ancient Dragon Dynasty, Lucia Sanx."

Lucia coughed twice, deliberately revealing a somewhat pale and sickly face, and "frankly" said: "This battle was a bit hasty after all. At the last moment, I fought with a few guys in the air and got injured. Of course, they were not having a good time either."

Tops was shocked and exchanged glances with the two ladies. Their eyes were calm as expected. Adelina even had a look of gratitude. It was not that Lucia was lying to them. After all, the fusion of two identities would take time. Lucia's energy in reality could not catch up with the Eternal Dragon who was used to playing tricks in the memory battlefield. This was the only way to make the transition.

Besides, it's the truth, isn't it?
Se Lian bowed his head humbly and asked, "Is the master seriously injured? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Adelina also hurriedly said, "There is a healing holy pool in the Full Moon Temple. Legend has it that Lady Selene once healed her injuries there. Master, you can do it, but the tunnel from Nox Stella to the surface has not been opened yet."

Tops opened his mouth, his mind in a mess, and he responded instinctively, "Your Highness, no, Master, I can't do anything about your injury, but I have been working hard on the research you asked me to do. The unified theory is not even halfway done, but if it's just force field magic, I estimate that we will have some clues in two or three months."

"Heh," Lucia suddenly laughed, and then it turned into a hearty laugh, "Hahaha, you guys, how come the atmosphere was peaceful when I met you as the Eternal Dragon, but you got so nervous when you met me in my true form?"

Se Lian smiled on his handsome face and said, "I am not nervous. Although I had some guesses earlier, I did not dare to think too much without your permission. Now that I know your real identity, I understand that there are more things I can do to serve my master."

Adelina nodded hurriedly. She had already made up her mind that since her master had killed the evil god Esti, there would be a chance to rescue the Mother Goddess and the other two Moon Goddesses in the future. So she would do whatever her master asked her to do in the future.

Only Tops blushed under his bald head and said, "I confess that I always had some disrespectful thoughts towards you earlier. Now that I know that you have been fighting for the lives of countless people in the world, I realize how stupid and ridiculous I was."

"In that case, the first thing I want you to do is that you no longer need to call me Master. Just call me Your Highness like everyone else in the dynasty."

"Yes."

"The East Territory has just been settled. There are still countless things waiting for me to do outside. I will just give you two simple instructions here—" After solving this matter, Lucia felt quite relieved. "Don't stop the research at hand. The research on the unified theory must be accelerated. The prototype must be completed within a year at the latest."

"As for the academy, we have the support of the two masters and the royal family of Kalia, so we don't have to worry too much. Se Lian will handle this matter, so we can use harsher methods to cut the Gordian knot. I want to see a clean academy within three months."

"We are unable to take care of the Eternal City for the time being. Adelina, please concentrate on practicing martial arts and report any problems at any time."

"From now on, we will hold a meeting here every month on this day. If there is any emergency, we can also communicate temporarily. After the troops in the East Territory have collected the scattered bodies of Esti, I intend to offer sacrifices here to restore the Moon Goddess. I will call you to discuss in detail then."

The three people who received the instructions followed suit. Lucia took one last look at them and sighed, "Esti is just the beginning of this war. If we want to do the real forbidden thing, we have to rely on you to fight with me."

"Yes!"

This time, there was no more hesitation or struggle in the eyes of the three members of the Forbidden Research Society, only a glimmer of fire remained.

It was Lucia's old spark that set off a prairie fire in the new era.
