Early in the morning, Old Joy knocked on the door of Carvo's house.

He only knocked once, and Nalya rushed out almost instantly, her bloodshot eyes full of anticipation...... and panic that could not be concealed.

Old Joey opened his mouth, and was speechless for a moment under the girl's overly focused and enthusiastic gaze.

“...... Ed went into the sewers," he cleared his throat before he could speak, cursing in his heart as he threw the news at Balk and fled, "he hadn't come out for too long. A priest of the Goddess of the Dawn went to him, York Tracy...... He found nothing. ”

Ed disappeared silently into the depths of the sewers—and with it the chasm that made the clergy feel like they were enemies.

He had actually been here with a bit of luck before he came, hoping that Ed had returned home in some way they couldn't notice...... But the girl's eyes had already given him the answer.

“...... Got it. Naria said. Her tone was unexpectedly calm, calm enough to make old Joey even more uneasy.

"He's a lucky lad. He said, "He'll ......."

"He'll be fine. Naria said, smiling at him as if she knew anything they didn't know...... Knowing that Ed would return safely, he wasn't worried at all.

But her eyes drifted blankly.

Old Joey was silent for a while, deciding to respect the girl's stubbornness. She always tried to look calm and reliable — calm and reliable like her father, so much so that "calm" was almost instinctive these days.

"Anyone will come and tell you anything new. He assured her, and also hinted that she had better not run around, though he thought it was unlikely.

In addition to the insistence of "first, be calm", and secondly, she will definitely not sit back and wait...... She would act immediately, often without much sober thought.

Young man......

He thought, not declining Naria's invitation to breakfast.

It was served sausages that were clearly overcooked. The old man swallowed it all with difficulty before leaving, and immediately sent more men nearby.

This girl's soul is about to be lost...... He wouldn't stop her from doing anything easily, but he had to keep an eye on her anyway.

.

The strings in his head were taut and only broke when Old Joey's figure disappeared around the corner. Nalya stood by the door, staring at the small patch of sunlight that fell on the open space in front of the door, and for a moment she could not feel anything, she could not think about anything.

She waited all night, stupidly grilled the sausage she bought, and wanted him to eat it as soon as he returned, even if she was restless, she tried to convince herself that it was useless for her to go to him, there were many things that she could not help at all, and would only tie him down......

She wants to learn to wait...... She shouldn't have waited that long!

Narya rushed out the door and headed straight for the Temple of Water.

There was a fire burning in her eyes, and even Icabold only hesitated to let her go to Sean. The head of the paladins had woken up, and sat there silently listening to the question thrown at the girl with the smell of barbecue and not even taking off her apron:

"Do you all already know?"

"Yes. He replied, knowing exactly what she was asking—that Balk had always been thoughtful, and that anyone who should know anything would know it, and those who shouldn't know it might never know.

“...... Do you know where he went?"

There was a hint of anticipation in his overly calm tone.

Sean shook his head.

"He's going to be fine. He said.

"How do you know?!Is it because he's 'lucky'?!" For no reason, Naria's anger suddenly erupted, "You already knew, didn't you?!, and you're going to sit here and wait for him to show up?!"

"Ed ...... He has been through many trials. Sean frowned, trying to reassure the overly agitated girl, "You should have more confidence in him." ”

"'Trials'?!" Narya roared, "what did he go through...... Is it just a 'test' for you?!"

Sean didn't answer, but the slight impatience and confusion on his face seemed to speak for itself - "Otherwise?"

Naria took a deep breath and let down an almost vicious curse. What is she counting on? Sean Fletcher is a man who can sacrifice herself without hesitation...... In his opinion, Ed clearly should be the same.

But...... Why?

The breath was choked in his chest. She gritted her teeth and felt the chill on her face...... She didn't realize when the tears were pouring out.

She wiped away the useless things so hard that her cheeks flushed, and she suddenly came to her senses at the peak of her anger.

Such a conversation would not lead to anything, they were facing Ed's disappearance from a very different perspective, not to mention that she was so irritated and irritated in fear and panic...... But she didn't come here to accuse and vent, but to ask for help.

"But he doesn't have to do it alone, does he?" she said, trying to soften her tone...... It still sounds a bit like an accusation.

“...... I don't know any of that, magic or something. She said, in a more humble gesture, "But we can always do something, right? You said he was the only person you know who can control both forces at the same time...... Now the sooner he can ...... It's better to get out of any trouble, isn't it?"

She sincerely hopes that Ed will be in Shaun...... In the minds of these people, Ed is not just a being who needs to be judged by "what is" and "what is it for" like the God Bone. But if that's the case...... She could only hope that he was important enough, otherwise, she would probably be desperate to summon Iss with that brooch......

She touched her chest, and suddenly remembered that she had given the brooch to Ed, when they parted yesterday - because he had lost his own, and she was a little upset.

From the very beginning, she was full of unease...... From the moment Ed fell before her eyes. She felt a great fear of all kinds, gripping her heart more and more intensely. She tried to get rid of ......

She shouldn't have left him.

“...... We never intended to ignore it. ”

Sean didn't seem to understand what she was worried about until this point, and his expression was a little complicated.

"Laval has gone to the sewers. He said, "If you ......."

Naria turned around and ran.

Sean sat motionless in the shadows by the window until Icabold silently walked into the room like a shadow.

"Are you ready?" he asked.
