The mountain, because it is difficult for humans to climb and has little meaning for Neo City other than a barrier, has always been the territory of the elves by default - and the humans know very well that the elves will not really occupy this place anyway.

The bare and ungreen mountain of stone was an unbearable place for elves, and even though Corell's men were already better at adapting to different environments than most elves, its lifeless silence and coldness made them want to immerse themselves in the sun as much as possible.

They have not forgotten their duties. The deep valley, which had been restored to its tranquility, had always been in their vigilant sight, but there were subtle changes that their eyes could not and could not catch.

When night falls and the stars fall, the tense nerves of the guardians are soothed silently, but they are also inevitably relaxed. They couldn't see, they couldn't feel the deeper darkness, the slightest crack seemed to be drawn by an invisible pen, slowly floating into the air, as fine and dense as a spider's web.

It stretches and disappears, as if it were trying to find the best way for it to grow in this strange world. The cold breath that oozed from it was scattered in the same cold night, scattered among the mountains and rocks that had been unable to give birth to any life due to a magical catastrophe thousands of years ago, and the breath was so weak that it was impossible for anyone to perceive.

When the morning came, the rift was gone. As the two elves cautiously stepped into the deepest shadows of the valley, into the clearing that had been engulfed in black mist, they found nothing.

But it's still there.

.

At the beginning of the dawn, in the amber hall of the ** Tower, when Stallbell touched his belly unconsciously again, Correll smiled and said, "You are like a pregnant woman." ”

Stobel's hand froze on his stomach, the muscles of Fernand's gloomy face contorted, and Ed choked on a mouthful of water.

The initiator had a calm face, bright and upright eyes, and did not feel at all that he had said anything that he should not have said, turning this sentence, which could easily be regarded as an insult, into a harmless joke - no one was helpless in the face of this half-elf, who did not look like an elf in either his speech or acting style.

However, I have to admit that the originally dull and suffocating air is much lighter because of this joke.

Stormbell didn't hide his secret from everyone in the division, but Fernand, who was chosen by him, was not at all happy with the trust he had received, because it obviously meant that he had to take on more responsibility.

He hid silently in the library, away from all disputes, away from all higher places, not for this!

His glass had been empty for a long time, and no more intoxicating liquor would come out of the air, never to be exhausted. They're trying to reduce all the magic they once took for granted, but they don't have any room for waste.

"There's nothing special about Sita. He said, angrily pushing the shadow of the big-bellied Stormel out of his mind, "I haven't heard of any secret mansions in the Carmack. ”

"Yes. Curell's tone was brisk.

Fernan cast an even more somber gaze. The half-elf smiled back with a bright, friendly smile, but he had a chill down his back.

This half-elf is actually Grivar's spy leader, at least the one under the Silver Leaf King. Thinking of how much privacy he had in his hands, he was as innocent as Fernand and his hair stood on end—compared to the vast majority of high-level mages, he was really very innocent!

"It would have been nice if we could have sat down like this earlier. Stobel put his hands on his knees, and his sincere smile was filled with deep regret, and every word was uttered with sincerity.

Corell grinned as if he had a toothache, and some not-so-friendly words suddenly became unspeakable.

"On a deserted island in the southeast. "And not on the island, but under the island, small, almost like a hole dug by a dwarf"

"The dwarves dig big holes. Ed retorted subconsciously, and touched his nose wryly in Curell's condemning eyes.

"You'll have to teleport to get in. "I've been in once and I'm not really fully in, I've only barely managed to get a few glances, so I haven't found much more. ”

"You can always go in now!" said Ed, a little scared and a little expectant at the thought of the mad mage's rabbit nest in Stonebugch.

"Well, if it hadn't been ruined already. Correll struck him unceremoniously, "I think it's probably ruined, after all, that place is probably of little use to him." ”

He casually marked the location on the map, and Stobel pondered for a moment and made what he could do now in return.

"As for the followers of Nesses," he said, "though Master Tumus is no longer there, Héctor Carlo has found him. There are many things that are uncertain, but one thing is certain - Black Sails is not only entrusted by the ** Tower, but also by the followers of Nessah, and one of the tasks is to salvage a shipwreck of an elf called Grey Feather. ”

The smile on Corell's face disappeared into the sunken corners of his mouth.

Elven ships are unsinkable—Ed no longer believes this after the Silent Sound was struck in two by the waves of the Veinz River. But it is true that elven ships rarely sink, especially the ships of the sea, which are only the ships that take them to the Holy Island.

And judging by Corell's expression that could no longer be concealed, that ship was anything but ordinary.

The half-elf stared at Stallbell tightly, his eyes so sharp that they could pierce the soul. But the mage's soul has just been put to the test, and it is extraordinarily resilient.

"It is said that the pirates have determined their approximate location, but they have not yet had time to act. Stormbell calmly made another mark on the map, though the circle drawn was much larger than Corell's precise mark.

"I don't think you'll allow me to take that 'Carlo'?" Corell's tone changed to that of an elf for the first time.

And you should be able to understand. Stobel replied, "But if there is any new news, I will definitely let you know as soon as possible." ”

Corell took a breath - how could he have thought this mage was a good man!

But in an instant, a bright smile returned to his eyes.

"So, keep in touch?" he said, almost cheerfully.

"Get in touch. Stobel smiled and nodded.
