Lin Mi obviously prefers Is, but Tai is mostly talking to Ed. Maybe that's because Iss is always indifferent and silent, or maybe it's because ......

Ed thought she might have seen him, maybe he was familiar with him. But, as Terry put it, there are some things that "can't be said."

When he left, he was a little reluctant. When he looked back at the black stone pillar hidden behind the flowers for the last time, it was as if something had been hidden for a long time was struggling to break through the ground.

The sharp pain in the back of the head clouded everything in front of him with a black fog. He involuntarily reached out and fumbled, trying to find some support.

He grabbed his friend's arm. Isis glanced at him and stood motionless until he broke free from the black fog.

They burrowed into the dark passage again, and the one ahead of them was replaced by a young Brie warrior. He sent them back under the phoenix tree, and before turning back to the waterfall, he stuffed Ed with a skin full of wine.

"Your Majesty says that you seem to be very fond of our wine...... She brewed it herself, and she gave it to you. ”

The brown-skinned warrior is full of momentum when his face is expressionless, but when he laughs like Jessie, he shows a mouthful of white teeth, bright and simple, and a little cute shyness.

Ed looked down at the sac and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. This is probably Lin Mi's embarrassment to apologize...... It's a bit childish, but he's happy to take it.

"You believe what they say?"

The ice dragon asked only when it flew into the air.

"I don't think they're lying. Ed replied, "But...... They're whisperers, aren't they?"

Their almost golden eyes, and Lin Mi's obvious affection for Is, were much more obvious than the scales that only appeared when Oylan was in danger.

“...... You weren't blind because of sympathy, and you can be considered a little bit of growth. Ice Dragon said.

“...... Can't you just praise me?" Ed was a little dissatisfied.

"Go to Narya and ask for your 'compliment!'" the ice dragon replied angrily.

Ed smiled. Everything that should be said has been said, and this little jealousy is as good as he is.

"It stands to reason that a god would not give the breath of life to a whisperer. He seriously reverted to the subject, "But if that's Nyo, the god of water...... The Whisperer is actually a half-breed descendant of a dragon, isn't it?"

“...... You don't really think Ni'o fell in love with a dragon, do you?" said the ice dragon, "and we don't even believe in such a ridiculous story!"

Ed blushed brightly. It's a little irreverent—quite irreverent—but he does think it's a good story that he enjoys...... Although the ending is not likely, at least it shows that the dragon is definitely not a symbol of evil, does it?

"So, what do you think?" he asked.

"That thing wasn't the breath of life at all. "Or, it was stolen by their ancestors." ”

“...... Is the Whisperer so powerful, strong enough to steal something so important from the hands of a god?"

"It's also possible that the dragon stole it. The ice dragon reluctantly admitted, "Somehow it fell into their hands." ”

Ed grinned in his stomach. Maybe it's because of this that it didn't speak out in front of Taiyi's mother and daughter.

"Whatever they did, we have to admit that it was probably the breath of life, and the nine-toed ...... Or Oylan has already gotten it. Ed scratched his head—the question went back to square one.

This time, the ice dragon was silent for a long time.

"That nine-toe," it said, "is said to be looking for the Island of Dragonbones?"

Ed was stunned, and for a moment, an indescribable chill ran down his spine.

"That really works...... Resurrect dead dragons?" he said with difficulty, "dragons were not created by God......

"Pure power, at the end of the day, is not fundamentally different. The ice dragon replied, "Why do you think that Nesses thinks he can become a god?"

Its overly understated tone made Ed understand that it wasn't as calm as it seemed.

Ed closed his mouth, his mind in a mess. He subconsciously wanted to reject this possibility—what Ninetoes had done was an undeniable insult to the dragon, and he had even fallen under the Soul Curse, and there was no way he could have resurrected a group of proud beasts that would have trampled him into mud like a daring ant. Of course, it's not impossible if there is a stronger force behind Nine Toes to control......

Thinking about it, he had to admit that what he was really afraid of was if that was really the purpose of Nine Toes...... Iss probably won't want to stop it.

There was only one dragon left in the world, and even if he couldn't empathize, Ed knew how desperate and lonely it would be. It may have fought against a flame dragon that had been dead for thousands of years and had used Scott in that way to protect all that it held dear, but it might not be able to resist the temptation to revive its own extinct race.

There might even be its father among them.

“...... Let it go!"

The ice dragon roared, "Dare to pull out one of my thorns, believe it or not, I will make you bald?!"

Ed silently let go of the dragon thorn he was involuntarily gripping...... Then, suddenly, the ice dragon turned sideways in mid-air.

When he fell off guard, Ed couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved - was it necessary? Did he hold on tightly? He had very little strength......

As the ground approached rapidly, grievances turned into fear.

He fell face down, and the wind in his face made it impossible for him to open his mouth to call for help, and even the exclamation was pressed into his chest. If Isis can't find out in time, he won't have the power to save himself at this moment...... If he falls into the water, he will probably be able to save a small life......

With a jerk of his waist, the ice dragon grabbed him and threw him on the grass again.

Ed rolled around a few times before finally taking a breath and patting his chest to soothe his heart, which was beating like crazy, and his limbs were limp and he couldn't get up for a while.

"Your strength has not been restored. The voice of the ice dragon that landed behind him was low, and it didn't sound surprised.

Ed held back his unspoken complaints, a little weak-hearted.

It is true that his strength has not been restored...... His body was as empty as a leaky broken wine bottle. However, he didn't really want to hide it - it should only be temporary, and it was good that he didn't suddenly disappear like Celebrion...... So, why is it necessary to speak out to make people worry?

The ice dragon walked over, his heavy footsteps causing the ground to shake slightly. Ed struggled to his feet, staring at the black pupils that had narrowed into two thin slits in the midday sun, with a sense of foreboding.

"Exactly. The dragon said, "I have an idea." ”
