A common enemy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ed chewed on the words silently, unspeakable bitterness spreading in the bottom of his heart. In the absurd adventures he had concocted when he was young and ignorant, he had also fantasized about standing side by side with the great Elven King against some incredibly powerful enemy...... But this is not the case now.

But even for the sake of Novi, he can only accept such cooperation.

"Can you really find him?"

Payne brought up the original question again, "To be honest, I don't know why Fairie would be convinced of this. The elders have tried many ways. Elven spells may not be as varied as humans, and they are precise and precise, but there is no clue to be found...... They couldn't even find the human girl until Tess was sent to your home. ”

Ed also wondered why Fairy was so sure that he didn't even have time to deny it in a hurry. At the same time, he knew that he could no longer be perfunctory, or ask for more. The Elven King has shown enough sincerity...... There were some things he didn't need to tell him in the first place.

"If we can find him once, we can find him a second time. He said vaguely, embarrassed to realize that the statement was still perfunctory...... And somewhat arrogant.

But he does have some confidence. Although Scott's power can no longer be used, the principle is the same. Norway...... Ancrane, he may be able to use magic to hide his aura and erase his whereabouts, but the traces he leaves behind in the passage of time will not disappear.

Here's how he came up with it—the thought that crossed his mind as he tried to figure out what he had done two hundred years ago. Hesitantly uttering it, he realized for the first time, in the glances of doubt and surprise from Scott and Filly, and their unhesitating praise, that perhaps because he had not gone through the same step-by-step and meticulous learning as a normal priest or mage, he seemed to use spells very casually...... But because of this, many whimsical ideas can be born.

And this is perhaps thanks to Sean and Ikabird...... and Jay Oylan.

He felt that nothing that had ever existed could disappear completely. Even if he erased himself, it was impossible to erase everything that was connected to him...... And since positioning can determine the location of an object, what is the reason why it cannot determine where a person is?

Enough knowledge, and enough power—he managed to cobble together a spell full of uncertain variables in a clumsy way that any mage would scoff...... It's still a long way from the legendary masters' ability to "create some kind of spell", but at least it's a start.

The problem is that the one who knows his enemy best is the one who has been expelled from this world. With another purpose in mind, Scott made a very bold and dangerous attempt...... This is also the price they must pay.

“...... But it will take time. ”

Ed blinked and added, "And I promised my friend that I would go back in two days." ”

This is not a threat, but a fact. He didn't want Iss to really rush into the empty court to find him, but Iss didn't have any concerns about that...... And Scott is clearly no longer able to stop him.

- Should he be more worried that Scott will never wake up again, or become another Norvi?

Payne smiled slightly.

"Two days......" he repeated in a low voice. Ed was nervous about explaining, but was interrupted before he could say anything.

"Well, we still have a day. Payne stood up, his tone gentle and undeniable, "It's late, you'd better rest for a while...... Trust me, you need this. ”

He gestured to Finnway. Ed was startled unconsciously—the shadowy elf had just stood there quietly, not hiding...... He had almost forgotten that he existed.

In the deepest darkness before dawn, the faint starlight found a meaningful smile on the Elven King's lips. Ed was silent for a moment, giving up the rejection that had slipped to the tip of his tongue.

This long night may not be over yet.

Scott felt that he had gone through countless darkness and countless days, and that light and darkness were the same ordeal. He rolls in boiling magma, sinks and floats in icy waters, and wanders in the endless void......

When I opened my eyes exhausted, the night was not over.

"Welcome back. ”

He was greeted by Philip's dry voice, "But...... What should I call you?"

Scott rolled his eyes and looked at the sharp sword against his throat, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"It's me. "If not," he said...... You've probably turned to ash by now. ”

That proud and violent being would not allow such a threat, nor would it disdain any pretense.

Fili sneered, tossed aside the sword that didn't belong to him, and poured him a glass of water without gentleness.

The icy liquid flowed through his body, and Scott choked violently, but still swallowed the last drop greedily.

"How does it feel?" asked Fili, his eyes concerned and a little gloating.

"It's like a doll that's been burned from head to toe and glued up. Scott replied honestly, "It's also filled with someone else'......"

"That's enough!" Filly stopped him just in time for the first syllable of the last word to come out, pressing his forehead with a look of disgust, "Do you have to say it so disgusting?"

"Because it's just that disgusting. Scott tugged at the corners of his mouth, "And I thought you'd be happy to scold me for doing it to myself." ”

"You are indeed self-inflicted. Fili gave him a bloodshot look, "but I'm not happy." ”

He sat down heavily, the old wooden chair groaning in its wrench.

Scott tried to sit up...... But he probably wasn't quite glued yet.

Stiff limbs don't seem to belong to him at all, completely uncontrollable, but it's much better than huddled in a dark corner and letting your body be dominated by others.

That's much more than "disgusting...... It's an indescribable fear.

"Where's Ed?" he struggled to think of something else, "is everything going well?"

"It depends on how you define 'smooth'. Filly spread his limbs half-dead, looking even more lifeless than he was, "It seems like we've done everything we wanted, and yet...... Maybe you remember setting fire to Grivar?"

Scott was silent for a long time, his charred memories becoming clearer - he remembered, even if it wasn't him...... And he remembered more than that.
