Nia was silent for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info He looked very aggrieved when he hung his head and blinked, and Ed even wondered if he was going to cry...... No, it can't be, even if it looks like a child who hasn't grown up, it's Nia Meyer who has returned from hell, not Ed Singall, who cries when he says.

Then Nia looked up.

"I admit I already knew this place. "But if I hadn't found someone here, I wouldn't have gotten in...... Romuen's rabbit hole is absolutely as crazy as his own, and my curiosity isn't strong enough yet. I don't know if the hoop is the one Romuen is talking about, or if it really works—I don't even know if a few of the nonsense he told me was true...... Maybe he didn't even know it. I don't know why this hapless creature is here, and why this thing is on his head...... I swear. ”

His tone and look made it impossible to doubt every word he said—even Ed, who didn't doubt him, felt guilty.

Iss turned his head a little panicked, avoiding his gaze. He hoped that Nia would answer his questions seriously and not with a hippie smile...... But when he really became so serious, he was at a loss.

“...... Maybe we'd better get out of here first?"

Ed carefully broke the awkward silence, "Maybe York knows better." ”

...... If only he could still answer.

Iss glanced at the trembling priest and had little hope for it.

He reached out and dragged York up, ignoring his struggles, slung him on his shoulder, and quietly turned around and slipped back into the labyrinthine passage.

Nia shrugged at Ed, smiling a little listlessly.

"Why did he grow up?" he said, "and how cute he was when he was a child, and he would believe me when I told him that snakes were earthworms." ”

This question...... Ed couldn't answer.

.

The fluttering priest was knocked unconscious by Is's furious punch before they could leave the sewers, and it wasn't until the next afternoon that Ed's bed opened his eyes blankly.

“...... York Tracy?" Ed cried softly, unconsciously keeping a distance—he had spent the whole night worrying about another person like this, who woke up and knocked him unconscious...... He also killed his mother.

York looked at him for a long time, and his eyes gradually cleared.

"Ed Singal?" he looked around suspiciously, "what's going on?"

“...... I thought you could tell me. Ed smiled wryly, but also breathed a sigh of relief. If York is really crazy or becomes demented...... He couldn't explain it to the fierce and shy paladin of the Temple of Dawn.

"I ......"

York opened his mouth and closed it again, and it took him a long time to try to remember, but at last he shook his head in annoyance.

"I can't remember. He said, "What's going on? I just remember that I came to you, and then ...... Am I coming for you?"

Ed shook his head.

"We found you. He said, "You've been missing for three days." ”

"What?!...... Where did you find me?"

"Sewers. ”

York's first reaction was to look down and smell himself.

“...... We've scrubbed you. Ed said.

The young priest blushed in embarrassment.

"I don't really remember anything. He said.

His confused and uneasy look didn't look like he was lying, and Ed could only comfort him: "Your head hurts a little...... I've healed the wound, but you may have to rest a little longer before you're fully recovered. ”

He wasn't going to talk to him about the mad mage's rabbit hole for a while...... He still remembers the fear in the pastor's eyes at that time. Maybe it's a blessing to be able to forget it completely.

York nodded silently with some frustration.

"So...... Why the hell did you come to me?" Ed couldn't help but ask, "Or did you forget about this?"

"No...... I still remember this. York hesitated, his tone uncertain: "I...... Probably saw Icabold Beria. ”

Ed's eyes widened and he jumped out of his chair.

"Where?!" he asked eagerly.

"It's in Dumb Butch...... In the vicinity of the old port. Although it was only a back, I was very impressed with Belial-sama...... I guess I'm not mistaken...... It's hard to say ......, though."

Inexplicable injuries and amnesia make the always confident pastor hesitate.

From his account, Ed was surprised to find that Icabold was a priest who worshipped other gods...... Even among the mages, there is a lot of attention.

...... Maybe he shouldn't have been so surprised.

"He's a genius...... He is a man who has been favored by the gods. York didn't hide his admiration—and perhaps a little jealousy," I heard Neo's mage say that if he hadn't become a priest, he would have been able to occupy one of the Seven Towers. ”

For the proud mages, this is already a very high evaluation.

"But our high priest once told me...... He may also be dangerous. York's voice lowered, "'He's too persistent and lacks reverence'...... That's what she said. ”

The High Priestess of the Goddess of Dawn was an elderly priestess who had not been seen for several years. Ed hadn't had the pleasure of meeting her, but he had to admit that her assessment was accurate.

"Maybe I shouldn't be nosy. York gave Ed a quick look, "Maybe you already knew...... But I always thought it might be better to tell you......"

"I don't know. Ed said frankly, "Thank you." ”

York fell silent.

He looked a little tired. As Ed was about to leave to let him rest, he suddenly spoke.

"I know that the King intends to deal with the Temple of Water. He said, speaking as quickly as if he would not allow himself to regret it, "Ante, the king who died...... I also know what he intends to do to calculate you, and I have some well-informed friends in Stonebuge...... I should have warned you because you were clearly innocent, but I didn't...... I don't think I want to go against the king...... I probably hope that the Temple of the Water God will not be so ...... I didn't expect ......"

He bowed his head. Ed couldn't see his expression, but he could hear his guilt—it had probably been weighing on his heart for a long time.

Ed, however, didn't feel he had anything to condemn. It's just a little bit of jealousy and weakness that anyone can have...... The courage to be able to acknowledge them is more worthy of respect.

"Thank you for being willing to tell me. He whispered, suddenly remembering the humans, dwarves, and elves who had fought side by side at the May Festival in Collins, worshipping different gods.

Maybe...... They can still fight side by side.

When he regains the courage to give his trust.
