The ice dragon was stunned for a moment, and lowered his head unconsciously, his golden eyes stared at him, making him unable to escape: "So what do you want?...... One more time?"

Ed's lips moved, wanting to deny it, but his heart was so weak that he couldn't open his mouth, so he had to turn his head to look at the thin grass stalks swaying in front of him, and said nothing.

To be honest, he didn't even realize that he still had such a thought in his heart before he roared out...... Even though he was vaguely aware that he might not have such a chance, he still couldn't help but feel lucky.

He has too many regrets...... There may be more in the future.

Now he knew that there were two endings, one was what he saw, the corpse of the ice dragon under the three-storied tower, and the other was what Terry experienced, Iss was still alive, but they lost their home after all - either of them, he couldn't accept either ending.

When no one was around, he had secretly found the scrolls that were crushed at the bottom of the box and looked at them for a long time, speculating about which "future" they were the traces of his warnings to himself, one of which was "Kill Scott".

He didn't know if he could do it before, but he couldn't do it now.

His mind was constantly in turmoil. He knew it was bad, and he should be more determined...... He had to be more determined, but how many times had he failed, and could he really succeed?...... Sometimes he even felt that he was still stuck in that gray place, with nightmares after nightmares, failure after failure, and pain after heartache, but he would never wake up.

More than one person told him, "You have to have the courage to accept failure" and "even if you fail, you can't stop there...... He's trying, but until now, when he asks himself, he still doesn't think he can do it.

"Ed Singh. The Ice Dragon's voice was close to his ear, extremely serious: "If you really think so, all you can get is another failure, and how many times do you think you can 'do it all over again'?"

“...... I know. ”

Ed still twisted his head and refused to face it, only shaking his knees, wilting like a dead grass that was about to rot into the mud.

The ice dragon was silent for a moment, letting him go for the time being. After all, even a dragon has to admit that the "if you can do it all over again" that humans love to talk about the most is really a "what if" that is too difficult to refuse - especially when you really have the ability to "do it all over again".

It lay down, right next to Ed. The little human being, lying there no longer than its forearms, had already taken on too much.

It was supposed to share the weight with him, not be a burden to him.

"Don't worry about me. It said firmly, "I ......"

"You're a dragon, and you can solve the problem yourself. Ed reached out to cover his face, and said in an urn voice, "I know." ”

“...... If it can't be solved, I will ask you...... Seek help. Ice Dragon said.

Ed let go of his fingers, one eye staring at him suspiciously, unable to believe that he had actually heard the word "help" from a dragon's mouth.

The ice dragon twisted its head awkwardly to the side.

"If I want to do it...... Or do something dangerous, and I'll let you know. It said, "...... You too. ”

Ed let go of his hand and nodded vigorously.

"So, I can tell you one thing first. The ice dragon said, "Got into my soul...... and in the body, it should be the eternal fire. ”

Ed looked at it, blank from his eyes to his head, and could only repeat unconsciously: "...... Eternal Flame. ”

Then he bounced off the ground and changed his pitch in a pitched voice: "...... Eternal Flame?!"

The ice dragon nodded reservedly: "So you'd better not ...... again"

Ed lunged over and hugged its forearm.

Their souls are parted at the touch of a button. He was kicked out before he could see anything, but it was enough for him to notice the difference—the soul of the ice dragon was once as dark and cold as the deep sea, but it twinkled with countless stars like the night sky, and there was also a brilliant light flowing by, like the light curtain of the night sky in the far north, but now, as if the clouds had broken through the sunrise, and the sun sprinkled its blazing golden light all over the sea, and he was dizzy with a quick glance.

"That's what I'm going to tell you......" The ice dragon's pointed claws rested on his forehead, gritting his teeth, "Don't try to peep into my soul without my permission!"

"But ......," Ed said, holding his head, confused.

"'Worry' is not an excuse for you to be unscrupulous!" the ice dragon was furious, and the thorns all over his body stood up, "Especially when I said, 'I'll tell you if there's danger' and I'm doing it!

It stopped, and a hint of doubt emerged in anger: "You won't, in my faint...... Did you do that when you were asleep?!"

"No!" Ed shook his head desperately, "How dare I do such a dangerous thing when I can't be sure of anything......!

He pinched his fingers, and his voice weakened curtly: "Curious......"

Curious, excited, and knowing that he wasn't in danger and wouldn't hurt his friends.

He is also measured!

The ice dragon was silent for a moment, raised its claws, and pressed down.

.

After honestly burrowing himself in the dirt for a while, Ed pulled himself up, shook it clean, and slipped into the cabin.

The door to the library was open, and he poked his head in the doorway, and with a tentative cry, a book came at him, and before long another one, thick and hard, smashed into his chest accurately.

He thought it would be a book about the Eternal Flame, but when he looked down, it was still about the Golem.

His friend's desire to wake Mulder up as soon as possible was far more urgent than grasping the power he had gotten.

Ed stood there with a smile on his face, picking up his book until Ise came out.

Isis didn't give him a good look, but when he graciously leaned over and shared his research on the emerald, he was not rejected.

That green gem is very special. It doesn't contain any great power in itself, or rather, its power lies entirely in the runes engraved on it. Ed didn't quite figure it out, but at least one thing was certain.

"The Eternal Flame is indeed the source of its power, but this gem is its 'soul', and, in a sense, it suppresses the power of the Eternal Flame, making it difficult to detect. ”

Although I don't know why Inglis got such powers, he only used it to make a golem...... But if they want Mulder to come back to normal, they need to find another flame of life for it.
