Storm Butch City has finally arrived in a torrential rain after days of intense heat. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info thunder exploded above the clouds, the earth shook with it, the electric light rushed through the inky black sky like a snake, and the rain poured down, sweeping the whole city from west to east, striking different sounds on different rooftops and grounds.

In such a heavy and dense sound of rain, even the ears of a shadow dancer could not clearly capture the sound of the voice downstairs. Fenvi sat on the windowsill with his knees crossed, his eyes wide open at the blurred world outside the window, and his heart was unusually calm.

He didn't want to hear anything.

He still doesn't have full trust. But Ed whispered to him that he hoped he would be able to avoid it for a while, with apologetic eyes in his eyes.

He cares about his feelings...... At least for now, that's enough.

And he asked him if he would like to take care of Tess who had fallen asleep, which meant a certain level of trust—he knew how important a friend Tess was to him.

However, Ed probably forgot that Tess's other "friend" did not welcome the Shadow Dancer - the little creature whose tail had been cut off by Falsindo was now lying on Tess's pillow and hissing at him, his eyes widened, and the hair all over his body stood up, looking round and fluffy...... Lovely.

It didn't seem to grow its tail back - and Fenway couldn't help but feel sorry for it.

To show respect for it...... Or to avoid being caught with a bloody face, he sat far away on the windowsill, occasionally looking back at Tess's sleeping face, and uncontrollably recalling that night again and again.

If there is no threat of death, will the other "Norvi" never wake up? This red-haired girl and the elf she loves have forcibly pierced a ray of light in his lifeless world...... He never imagined that even they would be consumed by darkness.

Now he knows his name...... Ancrane, an ancient curse, an evil mage. Both the Council of Elders and the Silver Leaf King regarded him as their most formidable enemy, but it was not the first time that the Shadow Dancer had discovered with horror that in his heart, there was no hostility to be found towards him, even if he was right in front of him, taking the lives of his two companions in an instant.

The faint uneasiness made him shudder unconsciously when another muffled thunder exploded. He subconsciously turned his head, and in the deeper darkness after the bright electric flash, he saw a faint light that flickered on Tess's chest.

The death of Brooke Xiu'an did not attract much attention. He is already very old, and no matter how devout he is, no matter how strong his strength is, it will not save him from death...... Moreover, he died very peacefully.

He was found sitting in his chair, in his own study in the temple, with his head hanging quietly, one hand still resting on the book closed in front of him, as if he had been so tired from a long night of reading that he had fallen asleep before him, but never woke up again.

More attention was paid to the other thing that came with it -- Sean Fletcher is back.

Among the countless rumors, the most widely circulated is that the once feared Paladin Master has been turned into an undead by the legendary mysterious and beautiful necromancer, so even if he is rescued, his nephew Scott Christos can only hide him in his own temple and dare not let anyone see him...... He even collapsed half of the temple in order to prevent him from escaping.

However, Sean, who appeared in the Temple of the Water God again, looked no different from before, dressed in armor, with a straight body, sharp eyes, and no smile.

His voice was still deep and powerful. He was neither humble nor arrogant when he greeted the messengers who had come to mourn the death of the old priest in Lockburg...... Or a little bit of a lack of respect. In any case, in the eyes of the believers who returned to the Temple of the Water God because of his return, he didn't look like an undead spirit.

Brooke's funeral will take place tomorrow. It would be a very simple funeral - like any other priesthood, but it would be very solemn. Moira had already confirmed that she would go to the temple to pray for him, and many more expressed the same wishes...... How many of them were genuinely saddened by the death of the old pastor, and how many were just because of Sean's unexpected return, no one can say.

Many questions about Sean Freyche were never raised with the death of Ante Bofford...... But that doesn't mean no one remembers.

"Old Joey has seen the corpse of Lord Xiu'an. Naria's crisp voice showed a powerful calm in the rain...... It's even a little cold, "he said it didn't look out of the ordinary...... But obviously, you don't think that Lord Xiu'an died of natural causes. ”

Ed squirmed his lips slightly, and unconsciously shrunk his shoulders in the chill that seeped into the blood from the bottom of his heart, unable to speak.

Iss glanced at him, then at Philip's gray face, hesitated for a moment, and said, "They suspect that Sean killed him." ”

He didn't have much affection for Shaun and Brooke to say it so easily. He knew it was ...... for Ed and Filly Even what a blow to Scott, but if they continue to be so immersed in the frustration and confusion of disillusionment...... As Naria said, sooner or later, they were finished together.

“...... Guessed. "Naria was calm," in fact, there have long been suspicions that Sean is plotting something...... A few years ago, it had not yet turned into a dragon in Is...... Turned back into a dragon, when Ed was just a rich young master. Sean was almost free to come and go in Lockburg, but he still sneaked in many times. Alan once thought it was to find Scott, and even asked his friends to cover his whereabouts for him...... So, what the hell is he trying to do?"

There was a long silence.

"He ......," Ed muttered, "wants Felicity back......"

Naria raised her eyebrows in confusion, "You mean, he wants Felicity back to life?"

"If that's the case, maybe even I'll be willing to help him. Philip chuckled lowly, a hint of self-defeating mockery on his lips, "No, he didn't just want Felicity to come back to life, he wanted Felicity to be the eternal god - it is said that our god has abandoned this world, and he is convinced that people need a god to guide them no matter what, so instead of letting more evil forces take advantage of it, it is better to make Felicity the only god...... Makes sense, doesn't it?"

“...... Is he crazy?"

After a moment of consternation, Naria blurted out.

"Well," Filly tilted his head, "I'm honest, I'd like to know." ”
