They walked for a long time, one after the other, far apart, without saying a word. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Iss suddenly stopped, Scott immediately stopped. The white leopard circled around him, and as if realizing something, he fell to the ground and slouched at his feet.

Iss glared fiercely at the shameless leopard, but his gaze still drifted involuntarily, and spun around Scott's shoulder.

“...... I'm fine. Scott said, "I'm fine." ”

“...... What a fart!" Iss was furious, and there was already a cold and sharp ice spear in his raised right hand, "Believe it or not, I can do better?!"

The timing was wrong...... But he couldn't help it anymore.

He was so angry that he didn't even realize when the hot liquid in his eyes was pouring out.

He angrily wiped away the damn things, and his cheeks were red from the force he had used so hard.

He didn't want to cry at all...... At least half of them don't want to.

This was probably completely unexpected by Scott. He was visibly panicked, and without thinking he walked over quickly, reaching out to take him into his arms, as if he could still soothe a child with a hug.

Iss would love to growl in his ear, or push him away and tell him it was useless...... But his arms were still warm.

He stood there, unable to move as if he had been struck by a spell, all the accusations and questions were frozen on the tip of his tongue, and he could not utter a word.

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" Scott repeated in a whisper in his ear.

- Sorry for the!

Iss replied rudely in his heart.

“...... But next time, ......" Scott hesitated, gently let go of his hand, and sighed before finishing his words: "Next time, don't let me get close to you like this again." ”

Isis was completely furious.

He roared, his angry voice echoing through the woods, and the wind of his wings drove Scott back several paces, and even the white leopard jumped uneasily, trotted out of a puff of smoke, and crouched in the shadow of a bush.

The huge ice dragon bowed its head to Scott menacingly, and raised its right palm with sharp claws.

"There will be no next time. Its sharp claws poked into Scott's chest, gritting its teeth and reassuring him, "We can fix this now." ”

"If only it were that simple. Scott smiled wryly.

“...... Simple?"

The ice dragon pushed hard, and his claws pressed him to the ground, and his golden eyes burned with sky-high rage: "'Simple'?!"

At that moment, its killing intent was real and strong.

A bright flame burst out in front of his eyes. The burnt claws instinctively retracted, but they were not hurt.

"Calm down...... Is. Scott half-knelt a few steps away, his voice trembling slightly in the chaotic aura, "Calm down." ”

It was more like it was for himself - he was obviously more likely to lose control than before.

"We've done everything we can," the ice dragon took a step back, unable to hide its disappointment, "we're still trying...... Are you ready to give up?"

"I didn't. Scott blurted out, but the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, "It's just ...... Maybe I'm not as strong as I think I am. ”

“...... You can be stronger. The ice dragon whispered, bowing his head and gently touching his shoulder with the tip of his nose, "You can." ”

The first sounded like a command, the latter more like a plea.

Scott closed his eyes.

"Well...... he sighed under his breath, "I won't give up." ”

That's not good enough...... But the ice dragon knew it couldn't ask for more.

"I have to go. Scott patted its jaw, "...... Be careful. ”

The ice dragon reacted by biting him on the shoulder—without force.

“...... I'll go back to Ston Butch. Scott reluctantly said, "I'll stay for a while...... I promise. ”

The ice dragon let go of its mouth in a daze.

"You may ...... You'll hear some not-so-good stories in Stonebuge. "It looked serious, trying to act as if the childish act had not happened at all," - to calm down. ”

Scott couldn't help but laugh.

“...... Good. He said.

The ice dragon tilted its head. It thought there was something else in Scott's smile...... It felt that Scott probably knew more about the rumors than it did.

It pondered for a moment, then let out a breath and let out a low growl.

It's not loud, but it's still powerful.

"Have you seen enough?" it said coldly, "come out." ”

Moments later, an elf jumped from a nearby oak tree, landing somewhat unsteadily, but quickly regaining its balance.

He hesitated, then walked up to it, calmly looking the dragon in the eyes at a distance that was not far or close.

“...... I'm sorry. He said, his breath was still a little unsteady in the aftermath of the dragon's roar, but there was no trace of fear on his face, "I'm Orin Fanyu." ”

"Should I have heard of it?" the ice dragon asked dismissively.

It had expected that the elf who was following them would go after Scott...... Scott chose to walk instead of teleporting away, presumably as skeptical.

But it was what he was looking for.

But it hadn't seen him—and he wasn't one of the warriors who had just been waiting with their weapons in hand.

"I ...... I heard you're a friend of Ed Singall. Ohlin hesitated, as if he wasn't quite sure about his choice," ...... I hope to meet him. ”

"Why?" the ice dragon sneered. It didn't want to take all the mess back and throw it in front of Ed.

"I heard...... He is a friend of the Silver Leaf King. ”

"Ahh "So you want to meet that silver guy...... Why don't you just go to him? He spends almost all his days in the empty court, and a human girl can touch that place, and you can't get in, right? Besides, 'Elves settle their own business'—don't you like to talk about this the most?"

It knew that its cynicism was mostly anger, but admittedly, it made it feel a lot better.

Orin was silent for a long time, then smiled wryly.

"Yes. "But it's not just a 'elf problem...... I know the human girl you spoke of, and I know Norvie, the Sunstrider...... At least the old Norvi, and he once told me that the world is one...... I've probably betrayed my people, but we need help......"

He grew incoherent, but when he looked up, his eyes were so earnest that it was hard to refuse.

"Please. He said, unconsciously glancing back, as if worried that something was chasing him.

The ice dragon was still hesitant - these elves were much more cunning than Ed.

"And ......," the elf blinked, muttering, "I might know something about Novi...... and another Norvi thing. ”

- Cunning!
