Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

The corrupt official from over two thousand years ago... indeed bore an uncanny resemblance to old man Lance; this [young lord] that we've encountered, it's very likely that he is the one from over two thousand years ago... the one from the timeline we're currently in... who hasn't grown up yet into that [corrupt official]."

The more Annie spoke, the more excited she became. If their conjecture were true, wouldn't it mean that they could guide the [young lord], so that he won't become a corrupt official in the future?

If the young lord doesn't become a corrupt official, he won't be sent to the gallows.

She didn't want to see such a lovely young lord end up as a big corrupt official that brings disaster upon the nation... and be sent to the gallows...

"Meredith, have we now returned to history from over two thousand years ago, or are we trapped in an illusion?"

"I suspect we have encountered what legends call [History Recreation]."

"History Recreation?"

"Yes, [History Recreation]."

"I seem to have heard of it.... Is that [History Recreation] an illusion?"

Meredith glanced at the humans coming and going around them, then at the young lord being surrounded by members of the Bronze Guild.

"It's an illusion and it's not an illusion. To us, History Recreation is an illusion. To the people in [History Recreation], this world is real, because they are real people who have existed in history."

The illusion mentioned in the bounty task probably refers to [History Recreation]. I wonder if the employer intentionally concealed this; [History Recreation] is not like an ordinary illusion.

You can leave an ordinary illusion as long as you find the way out; and even if you don't find the way, as long as you're strong enough, you can break through the illusion and leave with flair. Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire

[History Recreation] is different. You need to fulfill specific conditions, or find the key person involved in the [History Recreation] trigger event, only then might we be able to leave [History Recreation] and return to the real world."

Before, Meredith thought that they had returned to over two thousand years ago, but upon careful consideration, that possibility was almost zero. If a Teleportation Array could take them back two thousand years, then their appearance would inevitably affect the original history.

Not having returned to two thousand years ago, and not just a simple illusion, that leaves only one possibility: they had entered the world of [History Recreation].

Before them, no member of the Bronze Guild had entered [History Recreation], so... the Bronze Guild's understanding of [History Recreation] was limited to some legends...

If only old man Lance was here, with his experience, he would definitely know the reason for the appearance of [History Recreation].

"So if we want to leave here, don't we have to find the key person who triggered [History Recreation]? How do we find them?"

"This [History Recreation] we are in is related to [The Lost Golden City], and there are two key characters for [The Lost Golden City]. One key character is the King who built [Golden City].

The other key character... is probably the corrupt official who looks like old man Lance. If we want to leave this [History Recreation], we must first determine whether the key person is the corrupt official who looks like old man Lance, or the King who built the Golden City."

Annie's face showed distress; in real history, the corrupt official who looked like old man Lance was sent to the gallows.

The Emperor took possession of the corrupt official's gold and jewels to build the Golden City.

Is the key person the corrupt official who looks like old man Lance?

"Is it the young lord?"

"I'm not sure, but for now... we can only follow the young lord. I don't know why, but when the young lord suddenly appeared before me... I inexplicably felt somewhat reassured. Annie... do you think this young lord... could be old man Lance's past life?

Otherwise, why would I feel some kind of kinship with the young lord?"

"There's that possibility, hehe... once we leave here, return to Saint Blue, and tell our experience to old man Lance... he might not believe it.

He would be even less likely to believe that his past life was a grand corrupt official."

"Decided, then. For now, we'll just follow the young lord, um... first ask the young lord his name."

Rabbit-eared Meredith appeared in front of the [young lord], "Sorry, we mistook you for someone else. Old... young fellow... may we know your name?"

"I like being called the young lord. You can continue to call me that." The young lord grinned and asked, "What's the name of the old man you mentioned?"

"Lance."

"???"

Lance?

It was one thing to look like him, but to have the same name?

Quite interesting.

"Young lord, are you also called Lance?"

"Mm, same name as the old man you know."

In such a vast world, sharing a name isn't that surprising.

Meredith, Annie, Louis, Dalton, Bazel, and other members of the Bronze Guild heard the young lord's words, and the little bit of resistance they had left instantly vanished.

Not only did he look the same, but he also had the same name.

Definitely old man Lance's previous life!!!

"Young lord, you must never take an official position in the Ande Kingdom. If you really want to hold an office, do it in another kingdom, okay? If that's not possible, then become a Potion Master instead; being a Potion Master has much more prospects than being an official."

Hearing the young lord was also named Lance, Louis couldn't hold back anymore, wanting to dissuade the youth before him from the idea of holding office.

If the young lord became an official, he would turn into a grand corrupt official that brings disaster upon the nation.

His end would be even more tragic, hung at the gallows...

"Why can't I take an official position?"

"Because you... because you... because you...."
