“You actually came back!”

The mysterious woman, who Onyxia called Silverlight, somehow appeared in front of them. She still had that pure but cold look on her face. She silently floated in the air, looking at the dried up lake, her gaze complicated. “Did you two meet her? I can’t believe she actually let the two of you out.”

“Onyxia?” Xiao Lin tried saying.

Silverlight’s expression changed, her complicated look accompanied by shock this time. “She told you her name?”

“That’s right! She’s our friend.” Lilith suddenly said. They did not know where Onyxia was at the moment. The dragon had disappeared without a trace after they woke up.

Xiao Lin rolled his eyes. The dragon could not possibly be considered their friend, but it was still not a bad idea to borrow her might. He added, “She’s already given us the shard. You have your freedom. No matter what happened to you before, I don’t think we have anything to do with each other anymore.”

Silverlight fell silent for a while before saying, “That’s right. Earlier, I felt that the seal restricting my freedom had been lifted. However, I refuse to believe that she’d be so kind. I need to know what happened, in case this is a scheme by her!”

That woman was obviously not an ally to Onyxia. Xiao Lin really had nothing to say. What a joke; he was visibly sweating at that moment. He did not know why Onyxia suddenly picked himself. As a Legend-ranked black dragon, there could not have been anything on Xiao Lin or Lilith that she would have needed.

The woman looked at them with cold contempt, but Xiao Lin wanted to believe Onyxia’s words. Onyxia had said that Silverlight was not someone who liked slaughter, and the villagers near the lake were still living their lives fairly well, which gave Xiao Lin some basis for the belief, so he stared back defiantly.

Silverlight finally retracted her gaze, sullenly muttering to herself, “I’ve already been sealed here for so many years; this is no longer the world that I once knew.”

Just as Onyxia had said, Silverlight did not seem to have much killing intent. Xiao Lin relaxed a bit, but he now felt like the woman was quite pitiful. She did earn her freedom back, but this was no longer the world she knew, so where would she go? It was definitely not a good idea for such a strong undead spirit to wander around alone, especially since the Silver Province was so near Dawn Academy’s territories. Xiao Lin definitely did not want the woman to wander around and end up causing trouble for the academy.

Xiao Lin suddenly had a brave thought in his mind. He immediately put it into practice, saying, “You’re actually not alone in this word. Even though this is no longer the world you know, at least you’re not the only one of your race in Planet Norma.”

“My race?” Silverlight’s face was full of contempt. “Human, don’t think that you can just open your mouth like that just because you saved me. Don’t group me with that arrogant, idiotic, and egotistical race!”

Xiao Lin nodded. “I know, but I’m not referring to those people. In truth, aren’t the two of us the same. Did we not both come from Earth? We’re actually your brethren.”

Lilith stared at Xiao Lin, realizing what he was doing. However, she was never good at that sort of thing, so she kept her mouth shut.

“Earth?” Silverlight’s face was blank.

Xiao Lin’s head hurt. He did not know if they called the planet Earth in ancient times. He could only use Onyxia’s words, “That blue planet filled with water; did you not come from there?”

“She even told you that!” This time Silverlight was not that surprised. Instead, she had a dark look on her face. There was even a trace of killing intent.

“Hey hey hey! Hold on, we’re your people!”

Silverlight snorted. “Stop joking! Do you really think you know where my homeland is? Do you think my race would have people as weak as you two?”

“Atlantis; originally the island facing the Pillars of Hercules. Oh, it was also called the Strait of Gibraltar. Around those islands, there used to be a large landmass surrounded by the sea. I don’t know what it was called then. According to Legend, Atlantis was built by the sea god Poseidon, and ended up in a war against Athena. That war caused massive earthquakes and tidal waves on Atlantis, ending with it submerging beneath the sea.”

Lilith said all this in a cool voice. She paused for a moment before saying, “With that, surely you believe us? Did you tell the black dragon all that too?”

Xiao Lin shot a glance at Lilith. The latter told him in Mandarin, “These are all records of Ancient Greek legends because I used to… Uhm, basically I know quite a bit about Greek legends.”

It was hard to believe in just talk, but if the words were built on a foundation of truth, then it started to be more believable.

Silverlight was in shock, her face uncertain. The shaken and unbelieving look on her face was obvious; it was also accompanied with a look of anguish. However, Xiao Lin silently sighed in relief. Thanks to Lilith’s knowledge of myths, Silverlight was starting to believe them.

Xiao Lin was actually quite shocked as well, because it meant that Silverlight really was someone from ancient Earth, and she was very possibly an Atlantean that only existed in legends.

“I still don’t really believe it.” Silverlight’s voice returned to her cold tone, but it no longer had any killing intent. It was definitely a good sign. “That’s why I wish to return and see for myself.”

Lilith looked at Xiao Lin with an accusing look, probably feeling like he was very troublesome.

Xiao Lin’s expression did not change. He was already prepared for that. “That’s fine, but you’ll need to help us solve a problem first. There’s a very tricky opponent; the two of us probably can’t handle them ourselves.”

“I have no reason to help you! If you are just using this as an excuse to trap me…”

Xiao Lin interrupted her, “You misunderstand. This helps us, but it helps you too. Our opponent is an enemy of Earth. He is filled with thoughts of revenge and wants to destroy Earth. Are you really willing to look on as civilization on Earth meets the same fate as Atlantis back then?”

Lilith was speechless at how thick Xiao Lin’s face was. Asabanor really was filled with hate toward Earth thanks to them destroying his kingdom, and had his heart set on revenge. However, there was currently no sign that the old fart wanted to destroy Earth. Furthermore, he did not have the ability. He did not even have the ability to get to Earth.

“Surely you understand that sort of pain.” Xiao Lin tried pushing.

Silverlight started to hesitate, asking, “Who is this person?”

“Asabanor.”
