Chapter 803: Calculations
They eventually told Naria that, as they had promised, "there are no more secrets". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Of course, they couldn't avoid Tess either. If they dared to do so, the red-haired girl would still have a way to know everything and punish them mercilessly for their audacity.
Ed felt that Is's account was so brief and unrealistic that the girls didn't have any surprised looks on their faces...... It is also possible that after a series of "surprises", even the most bizarre things become less difficult to accept.
β...... I don't think that's true. β
Naria pulled open the scroll, frowning at the words that really didn't look like words.
"But......" muttered Ed, "that's what I wrote......"
"I recognize your words. Naria glared at him, "I mean these dragon words...... If you don't even recognize what it is, how can you be sure that it must have been written by you?"
"The scroll is very old, and so are any lines and words on it, except for Felicity's seal, which is nothing to add afterward. Ed argued earnestly," Norway confirmed...... Felicity certainly confirmed. β
The mongoose, who was squatting on the table, nodded solemnly.
"Well, I made a mistake. "I mean, even if it's true...... At least these are the warnings, and most likely you didn't write them at all. Look, Ed, like you said, 'kill Scott' or something, you can't do it anyway, so what are you leaving these things for yourself? It's useless except to make you more confused! I don't believe you're going through a 'terrible failure,' somehow running back hundreds of years, and I don't know how long you've lived after...... Still so stupid. β
Tess laughed out loud as she held her teacup.
"I said it was a forgery!" said Is, smugly.
"You say that only because you don't want to take it. Tess poked at him, "'It's all fake!' - that's what a child does, 'Dragon'." β
Iss glared at her angrily and swallowed another sentence that was more childlike.
"But...... Why?" Ed was a little confused, "What's the use of faking this?"
He didn't doubt it...... Maybe it was Felicity, or maybe deep down, he knew they didn't have much chance of winning. He could feel the hopelessness and powerlessness that he didn't want to admit - just like the hopelessness and powerlessness that came out of those warnings.
"What's the use?" Nalya pouted, "presumably just to make you look like you are, 'Wow, what the hell is going on'βto make you feel like you don't have a choice at some point." I don't suspect Felicity of any ill intentions, and to be honest, I don't think her idea might work, it's just ......"
She stopped, biting her lip. Ed respectfully pricked up his ears and waited for a long time, but what he waited for was not a well-founded analysis.
"I don't like it. The girl's voice was soft and fast, as if she realized her own willfulness and childishness, and then repeated it again in annoyance, willfully accepting her waywardness: "I don't like it!"
Ed looked at her blankly, speechless, but couldn't help but want to laugh.
"I don't like it either. He said sincerely, "I don't like it either." β
"So, let's leave this mess alone. Naria tossed the scroll aside, "Since Celebrian doesn't think this thing should exist, let's treat it as if it didn't exist and solve the problem in our own way." β
Ed let out a soft breath. He thought that Naria might have some kind of magic too...... She always makes complex things very simple. She doesn't try to figure it out of the mess, she just cuts it through in three or two strokes and then retwists it into a rope.
But that doesn't mean they can "simply" succeed...... That rope may not be long enough at all.
β...... We still have to find Ankland. After a moment of silence, he made his decision.
"Are you going to take Lydia's 'advice'?" Naria frowned slightly.
"Not necessarily. "But at least, he's the one who's willing to engage with us so far...... He's the one who thinks we might still have a use. I'll find him, at least talk to him...... A little more understanding is never a bad thing. β
"If he's willing to 'talk' to you. Tess muttered quietly.
"If only I could really find him. Ed smiled, "If I can do something that even Blazing Wing can't do...... I think I'm more or less qualified to 'talk' with him." β
Tess was silent. Naria gave her a worried look - with the temper of a red-haired girl, she probably preferred to reclaim Norvi's body at all costs rather than "talking" that might lead to nothing.
The mongoose rested its little paws on the back of the girl's hand, and its round eyes were dark and shining, calm and gentle.
β...... All right. Tess reluctantly spoke, "It's rare you're so confident...... But if you talk about it......"
She didn't finish her sentence, perhaps because she herself understood, even if the conversation really "fell apart"...... Ankeland is not an enemy they can easily defeat.
Ed did have confidence, at least in the matter of "finding Ankland", otherwise he wouldn't have made that promise to the Silver Leaf King when he was in Grivar.
He had a method that had proven to be useful, but he didn't have the power of Blazing Wing, so he had to rely on a lot of calculations. He never imagined that what his father had taught him could be used in magic...... Although Icabold had told him with a cold face that magic did require precise calculations, it was completely different from the "calculations" of merchants......
The middle-aged priest's face, which could "precisely" show contempt without a hint of expression, came to mind. Ed shook his head and kicked him out.
Icabold wasn't here anyway, and no one was to find fault with what he should and shouldn't do, telling him all sorts of sensational, "misuse of spells" in a tone that didn't rise or fall...... Besides, he's a man of God's blood!
The "descendants of the gods" enthusiastically threw themselves into the endless calculations, and the paper that covered the floor was drawn with countless symbols and numbers that only he could understand, leaving Naria, who had delivered his food, with little place to stay.
Time flies too fast. On the day of the commotion outside the window, he had almost done the necessary calculations, and was finally in the mood to poke his head out of the window to see what was going on.
He could only see the crowd rushing in the direction of the north gate, the sun shining too brightly and the noise making him dizzy and unable to hear anything.
"The little king is back. β
Naria's voice sounded behind him, "Want to go see the excitement?"
