Qiu’s answer sent a chill down Xia Yi’s spine. She didn’t know the Morning Star Calendar?
This was the most basic of basic knowledge.
Even a five-year-old child should know that the calendar used in this era was the Morning Star Calendar.
“Sister Qiu, you’re not joking, are you? That’s not a funny joke…”
In response to Xia Yi’s question, Qiu shook her head.
“There’s really no need to joke about something like this. It’s not even a lame joke, because this is common sense among common sense. In fact, I find it strange, Xia Yi. What calendar is this ‘Morning Star Calendar’ you speak of? This is the first time I’ve ever heard that term.”
The origin of the Morning Star Calendar was tied to a very famous event in history.
“Sister Qiu, do you know about the Dragon War?” Xia Yi asked.
“The Dragon War? What’s that?”
“You, you…!”
Xia Yi wore an expression of utter disbelief.
“There’s no way you don’t know!”
The Dragon War.
In the past, the dragon race’s immense power frightened many other races, so the myriad races of the world united to jointly fight against the dragons.
But the Dragon King at the time, Grun, did not back down in the face of pressure from the world’s races. He shouted the name of battle, roused the brave dragon warriors, and raised the curtain on the Dragon War.
In that protracted war, the dragons resisted desperately, burning through their national power, and successfully stood alone against the entire world. Even with all the races united, they could not breach the Dragon Kingdom.
The dragons demonstrated unparalleled strength on this land.
When the war reached a stalemate, the once-solid alliance began to show cracks, which gradually grew, making the union of the world’s races increasingly unstable. They had no choice but to negotiate with the dragons.
In the end, the dragons ended the war undefeated, achieving an unprecedented feat.
Although they paid a terrible price to remain undefeated, it was a war of great pride for the dragon race.
It was because of the Dragon War that the dragons had, for tens of thousands of years, held the undisputed position of the strongest higher race, forging their immense pride and confidence.
The beginning of the Morning Star Calendar was the first year of the Dragon War.
It was impossible for a dragon not to know about the Dragon War, it was a glory flowing in the blood of every dragon. How could they forget it?
Therefore, when Qiu said she did not know the Morning Star Calendar, Xia Yi thought perhaps there was a reason. But not knowing the Dragon War was simply too absurd.
“Sister Qiu, the Dragon War is the war our dragon race fought against the myriad races of the world in the first year of the Morning Star Calendar. Under the leadership of Dragon King Grun, we fought the alliance of outsiders to the bitter end and ended the war undefeated,” Xia Yi explained to Qiu. “Every dragon learns this history after birth.”
“War? Dragon King Grun? History?”
Qiu tilted her head, also looking very confused.
She reached out and felt Xia Yi’s forehead.
“That’s strange. Xia Yi’s forehead isn’t hot. You don’t seem sick. So why are you talking nonsense? Or is this some kind of novel setting?”
“You’ve really never heard of any of this?”
“Xia Yi, don’t fabricate history that doesn’t exist. Even if you asked other dragons, none of them would have heard of it.”
Qiu’s attitude was very serious.
“Though it’s true that there have been big and small wars happening continuously on this land without stopping, there has never been a war where the dragons took on the entire world by themselves, nor was there ever a Dragon King Grun… Don’t go around saying things like that to others, especially to dragons. The consequences could be severe.”
“How can this be…”
Xia Yi lowered her head.
Qiu’s answers shattered her common sense. Her worldview was crumbling.
No Morning Star Calendar, no knowledge of the Dragon War…
Wait.
Suddenly, an idea surfaced from the bottom of the little silver-haired loli’s heart. She looked up and stared at Qiu without blinking.
“What’s wrong, Xia Yi? Staring at me like that is a little scary,” Qiu said, finding Xia Yi very strange. “Xia Yi, you’re really odd. You don’t seem like a dragon of this era at all.”
“What if it’s not that you don’t know, but that it never happened?” Xia Yi murmured softly.
Everything that had happened today flashed through her mind.
A city where many different races coexisted, the currency Orr losing its value, the luxuriously equipped security patrol squad, humans as a higher race, dragons who didn’t know their own history,
What if this was an era before the Dragon War?
Xia Yi picked up the pen from the floor, ran to the counter, found a piece of paper, and began writing something on it.
She had a way to verify her guess.
“Xia Yi, what’s wrong with you? If you’re having trouble, you can talk to me about it.”
Qiu didn’t understand Xia Yi’s behavior. She walked over and saw what Xia Yi was writing.
“Sister Qiu, do you recognize the characters on here?”
Xia Yi held up the paper.
The writing on it was Ancient Dragon Script.
Ancient Dragon Script was a script studied by only a very small number of dragons. It was used by dragons in the era before the Dragon War, the Mythological Era.
Ancient Dragon Script had never spread among the general dragon population. Only the dragon royal family and those authorized by them were allowed to learn it.
Even ministers in the dragon palace did not master Ancient Dragon Script.
Therefore, a dragon of Qiu’s background should have no reason to know Ancient Dragon Script. If she did, then it could only mean…
“Sister Qiu, do you recognize these characters?” Xia Yi asked.
Qiu laughed. “Xia Yi, of course I recognize them. Isn’t this ‘osmanthus cake’? Hmm, you like osmanthus cake? The ingredients for that aren’t easy to come by, you know…”
“Eh?”
Xia Yi was stunned. Her verification had come true.
She had indeed written the three characters for “osmanthus cake” on the paper in Ancient Dragon Script, and Qiu had successfully recognized them.
At that moment, the little princess understood.
The era she was in was… the Mythological Era.
This conclusion shocked the silver dragon for ten thousand years.
Molent was a city from the Mythological Era. The world structure of the Mythological Era was different from the modern era. Perhaps there was a period of relative peace at some time, when many races could coexist harmoniously.
The universal currency in the Mythological Era was Gio, so naturally Orr couldn’t be used.
The weapons carried by the security patrol squad used technology from the Mythological Era, an era when even legendary weapons could be crafted. A little attribute-conversion enchanted weapon was nothing.
And in the Mythological Era, humans were still a higher race, and the Dragon War had not yet occurred…
Everything made sense and followed logically.
“Aaaaah, what is going on?”
Xia Yi couldn’t accept reality. Had she… time-traveled?!
