This is the second time in one day that Isis has heard the same request.

He was stunned for a moment, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, and he couldn't agree without hesitation, but involuntarily looked at the silent staircase.

Naria and Eren still didn't show up...... That's not right, with Naria's character, she will rush down impatiently when she sees Isis disappear under the ground, even if Eren has limited mobility, they will not be so slow.

He looked back at Niah, and saw something strange to him in those familiar eyes, calm and deep, as inscrutable as the windless sea in winter.

“...... I went up to pick them up. He said, turning and walking up the stairs.

Nia's voice stopped him: "They're probably not there anymore. ”

Isis paused, and after a few moments turned to look at Nia, his tone getting colder.

“...... What did you do?" he asked.

"Nothing. Nia replied, "The tower has its rules for how it operates, and different people will be taken to different places...... But they're going to be fine, you have to at least believe this, and I won't hurt Alan and his daughter anyway. ”

Isis was silent, anger piling up in his heart little by little. Time and time again, he was asked to give his trust after being deceived and concealed...... But these people, these human beings who he regarded as relatives, were even stingy to give him an explanation.

This may be the way humans get along, and even those close to him hide their own secrets, but he is deeply tired of them - but what can he do? They are his only concern in this world.

It's against the nature of dragons...... But he can only keep tolerating and giving in.

"I'll help you. "As long as I can do it—you don't need to tell me why." Just tell me how to do it. ”

Nia blinked, as if she hadn't expected such an answer, and for a moment she looked a little flustered. Those emotions quickly fade away. Like the shadow of a bird skimming the sky, it disappears in an instant.

"You shouldn't be here. He whispered something that Is's didn't expect, "You shouldn't be in the crowd, Is...... It's not your world. ”

“...... Is that what you want me to do for you?" asked Is, a little stunned, "You want me to leave?"

In fact, it wasn't that he didn't think so. It's certainly not his world...... Even when he has friends and relatives around him, he can always feel that loneliness. It wasn't the suspicion, the fear and the hostility that struck him, he didn't care about that. But he clearly knew that even if he often walked in the crowd as a human being, he was still a dragon.

He didn't like it. Even afraid of the cold loneliness of living alone, perhaps because he grew up in the warm embrace of human beings after all—the warmth that he could not give up, the treasure he really coveted...... But in the human world, he is a lonely outlier after all.

This unspeakable loneliness makes him extremely sensitive and irritable. I knew it would make me lose my mind, and I couldn't control it. He couldn't find his place. I can't see my own path clearly...... He had nowhere else to go but stay here, by Scott's, Allen's, and Naria's side.

If one day none of them will need him anymore...... If one day they were all dead......

"I'm not leaving. Before Niah could reply, he spoke angrily, using his anger to dispel the panic and helplessness that had suddenly struck.

Nia laughed helplessly.

"That's not what I want you to do ......for me," he said, "and I have no right to ask you to do that." But I do need you to stay here for a while—this place won't hurt you, will it?"

Iss shook his head blankly. Ordinary people probably can't withstand the power here. But he's a dragon, the most powerful magical creature in the world—but why doesn't Nia look unwell......? A real human being?

Nia shrugged at him. It was as if he had seen through his doubts at once.

"Hell is a place full of chaotic magical powers, and it takes a lot of ...... to 'live' in that place Get a makeover. He said.

Iss frowned. While Nia may seem nonchalant, the word "transformation" sounds harsh.

In a sense, they were the same—Iss suddenly realized.

Nia who lives alone in hell, and he who lives alone in the human world...... Niah's situation will only be worse than his.

And he used to be so good to him. When he was very young, Leda was like his mother, Scott was like his father, Scott's friends were "father's friends", and Nia was ...... Nia is the only one who spends a lot of time playing with him, his "friend".

Although I still had doubts, my heart softened a little.

"Good. "I can stay here...... But what's the use of that?".

Although she was mentally prepared, Naria stayed there in amazement when she saw the amazing spectacle in front of her.

She came down after Is. In the blink of an eye, the soft and dreamlike golden mist of light turned into a bright and almost dazzling white light, and the huge space that suddenly appeared was like the remains of the dwarves that Ed had described to her, and under the magnificent dome, the black statues with vague expressions were tangled in muscles, naked, naked, rows of half-kneeling on the ground, propped up with their hands, silently carrying the boulders on top of them, which made her have to believe that this was the real bottom of the three-storied tower, and these silent colossi were carrying the weight of the entire tower.

The stairs at her feet stretched downwards into the golden sea, and she looked down for a long time before she finally believed that it was not her hallucination—it was a sea of gold.

Countless gold coins shimmer with gemstones, and countless gold vessels are hidden in the golden waves...... There was no elaborate arrangement and collection, and this unbelievably vast wealth lay in front of her so purely and directly, as if it were at her fingertips.

Naria is not a man who is obsessed with wealth. Once there was a dragon that showed all its treasures to her, and she was unmoved, but now, even she felt faintly dizzy, almost unsteady on her feet.

The sound of Alan's crutches falling to her senses brought her back to her senses, and she realized that she hadn't seen Isis and Nia at all, even though she was only a few steps away.

“...... Is!!" she cried out uneasily.

Everything in front of him is probably an irresistible temptation for a dragon...... Even Isis may not be able to stay calm anymore.

But where can they go?

Her voice bounced feebly over the walls of silence, unanswered.

Turning back to make sure that her father had appeared behind her, Nalya calmed down a little, and approached the golden sea at her feet, but stopped hesitantly on the shore.

"Don't go down. Alan reminded softly, his tense voice showing a little bit of nervousness, "What you can't see doesn't necessarily don't exist...... What can be seen is not necessarily real. ”

"Is this a quote from some legendary man?" asked Narya, a little curious, "Nia just said that. ”

“...... That's what Keller Brian once said. Alan replied with a slight sigh, "We once fell into a trap because of greed and carelessness, and we were almost wiped out...... If it weren't for the half-elves being calm enough, we'd probably all be dead. ”

Celebrion never stopped them from doing anything, and even if he knew the danger, he would only sneer at them after rescuing them, which always made the old dwarf Ragan furious, and forgot all about his saving grace in the blink of an eye—but then there seemed to be an unbreakable trust between them, that they would never give up on each other under any circumstances, that they could trust any of their companions, no matter what strange things he did......

And now, Alan can't help but be suspicious of the vanished Nia.

Scott has said that no matter what, he believes that Nia will at least not hurt Is...... But who knows? Nia spent more than ten years alone in hell, an unimaginable experience that could change anyone.

Naria approached her father a little confused, and shouted again, "Is...... Where are you?"

No one answered her call, and the place where infinite wealth was hidden was empty and cold, and it seemed that there were only two of them.

Alan pondered, vaguely aware of the hidden meaning of the tower's name—the three-storied tower, which probably meant not only its strange shape, but also the wisdom and wealth that the mad Casagrande I had wanted to possess...... with strength.

Legend has it that these three words were engraved on his throne, and the bulky stone throne has long since been replaced by a more elaborate and ornate throne, but these three words have survived...... Although most of the people who mention them are just to satirize the mad king's hubris and his doomed failure.

But it was a tower built by Casagrande's crazy whims, and inevitably had the deep imprint he left behind. If the unread books above their heads represent wisdom, and the sea of gold beneath their feet represents wealth, the place where Nia and Isis are located, there is probably power.

But are these real?...... And, does Nia know this, where did he take Is, and what purpose did he have?......

“...... Alan!" Naria suddenly reached out and grabbed him, her other pointing to the feet of a colossus not far from them.

"Does that thing look familiar?" she asked.

Allen's eyes widened, and he looked at the simple cane that was only half exposed, which was incompatible with this golden treasure house, and subconsciously grasped his crutches.

It's not just familiar...... But that thing shouldn't be here!

"Celebrion...... "This can't be!" he whispered!

But he couldn't have been mistaken...... It was undoubtedly the half-elf priest's cane!.
