The lingering heat floats in the air. Lydia in a purple gauze skirt seems to be hidden in a deep mist, no more than an arm's length away, still faintly indistinguishable, only a pale face floating in the night, no matter how gorgeous and dazzling it is, it looks a little terrifying.

Isis vigilantly prepared to deal with every prickly word of the woman who made him unpredictable, or the malice wrapped in a sweet smile. But they walked silently all the way through the courtyard, and no one spoke.

"I can't say anything to get you out, can I?" Lydia looked back at the door, sighing as low as a night breeze, "why can't you just stay in that pretty little valley in Inglis?"

Isis was silent. He asked himself the same question, and the answer was ...... Lydia knew it too.

“...... Take care. ”

The mage smiled helplessly, raising her hand and patting him on the cheek, just as she used to do when he was a child. Iss stood there stunned, unable to avoid the overly intimate act.

He suddenly had a blank, and without thinking, he grabbed her and asked, "What do you really want?"

“...... You can't give it, little one. Lydia's smiling voice lacked a hint of regret, and she gently broke away, and the smoke disappeared into the air.

Iss slowly withdrew his hand that had not grasped anything, his heart unusually annoyed.

Why would he ask such a stupid question on an impulsive basis?—he thought to his chagrin, and in the end he could only blame the all-too-familiar scent of the female mage.

That's probably magic, too.

"We were completely led by the nose by her. ”

In the room, after a long silence, Naria calmly and objectively concluded, "And she said so much...... There isn't much really useful stuff at all. ”

"I guess that talkative 'Your Majesty' taught her more than necromancy?" Niah joked dryly, but he couldn't even laugh at himself.

"I think she has a point. Tess hesitated to speak, glanced at the little mongoose, and quickly firmed up her position: "But it's more important to kill that shameless elf completely!"

"Why do we have to be led by the nose?" Fili clasped his arms in exasperation, "whether it's Scott or Lydia...... Why can't we just sit idly by and wait for those 'two overly powerful enemies' to fight you to the death and then take advantage of the situation? Anyway, they already have a grudge, and we don't even need to deliberately provoke them!"

"Yo oh...... Tess complimented, glancing sideways, "I don't see you have such potential...... I second, but you'll have to make sure you can get Novi's body back intact. ”

“...... Seconded a fart. Filly himself was deflated first, "They really don't care if others live or die, no matter what happens to the world, Scott will probably be the first to turn into ashes...... If this happens, even if I don't want to do anything to you, the dragon will turn around and swallow me. ”

"So, we still have to be led by the nose. Nia snapped the wooden box and let out a sigh of relief, "But who said you can't do something else when you're being led......

His hand retracting the wooden box stopped in mid-air and shook from side to side.

Ed's gaze seemed to be glued to the box, and his blue eyes spun around in a daze.

With a flick of her wrist, the wooden box made a beautiful arc and landed accurately into Ed's arms.

"It's yours. The thief clapped his hands, as if he couldn't wait to throw away the precious thing of the, "I don't know any magic anyway...... And didn't Lydia say that you're always going to be surprised'. ”

Ed smiled wryly, not at all thinking that this was a compliment, and even sent a chill down his spine. But he subconsciously clenched the wooden box, and he had no intention of returning it.

Naria gave him a deep look and couldn't help but frown.

"The woman's words are either sarcastic or ill-intentioned," she said, "and it is better not to believe a word if you want me to say it." We can't play with her intrigues...... I probably can't play that Ankland. I don't understand anything too complicated, but no matter how strong an enemy is, there will be weaknesses, find it, hit it, ignore the mess, fight side by side with someone we can trust, win or die - it's not a big deal. ”

“...... Why do I think it's not bad? Tess propped her chin and looked at her with respect, "And you think we can win...... Either I slept too long and my brain was broken, or ...... Sweetheart, you're actually quite suitable to be a leader. ”

Naria's face flushed slightly.

"At least that's what we're good at. Her voice unconsciously lowered a little, but her tone remained firm, "It's better than being so suspicious as now, looking ahead and backwards, and always unable to make up your mind." ”

Fili looked at her with some surprise, and a smile gradually crossed his lips.

"I think you're the one who always surprises. He said.

This time, Ed nodded vigorously, as proud as if he had been complimented on himself.

“...... Looks like you've made a decision?" Iss had completely hidden the surprise in his eyes when he walked in.

"Hit it head-on!" Tess jumped into her chair and made a powerful gesture proudly, "Win or die!"

"Tsk. Norway calmly agreed.

"It's good. Iss wanted to pretend to be careless, but couldn't help but smile, "It's right for me." ”

Naria's voice was neither loud nor small, but it was loud enough for him to hear—and it was indeed his favorite way.

"But I'm afraid we still have to deal with all kinds of people in order to 'find the enemy's weaknesses.'" Nia grinned and knocked on the table, "If you don't mind, I'd be willing to take charge of the part that requires intrigue...... Honestly, I think I'm pretty good at intrigue, but you're all as straight as a ship's mast, so my perfect skills don't work at all. ”

"So, we ...... Are you going to tell Scott?" Ed asked his question carefully.

"Why not?" Iss raised an eyebrow, "The Flame Dragon is indeed cunning, but it is still a dragon. When you ask a dragon for a face-to-face duel, it is an absolute shame to use any tricks. ”

“...... Well, there's another issue to be solved here. Naria spread her hands calmly, "We didn't seem to have finished talking last time?"
