readx;? The ice dragon folded its wings in the misty morning mist and had transformed into a human form as it plunged into the edge of Grivar's green forest. www.biquge.info He didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts, but he didn't want to be too conspicuous.

He stood on the edge of a swamp as he landed, a small gray shadow jumping down from the canopy and landing on his shoulder, standing up and observing his surroundings warily.

The elf seemed to quickly get used to its current body in a short time, jumping around and moving freely. Iss admired his ability to adapt, but he wasn't used to being so close to him as this stuffy little animal...... After all, he wasn't really close to Norvi either.

The muscles in my shoulders stiffened unconsciously. The little mongoose had leapt to the ground and disappeared into a much thicker mist than the rest of the forest.

The Fog Swamp is a place where Grivar's elves almost never set foot in it. And that's not just because legend has it that hides terrifying dragons - no more terrifying than hundreds of elven warriors. The real danger lies in the natural traps shrouded in the fog, where seemingly solid grass can instantly turn into a sludge that can be devoured by a man, and the stench of decaying animal and plant carcasses is enough to make the elves shy away, if not very lethal...... However, for thousands of years, this small swamp was the favorite hiding place of the Spotted Leaf Dragons. With their preferred concealment and humidity, and the poisonous mist they breathe and the unpredictable spell traps for protection, even the most voracious adventurer will hesitate to break in.

It's just that even if the dragon is so good at hiding and not so belligerent, it is also facing the fate of extinction.

Xiao Mo ...... The elf quickly came back and waved its claws at Is. The confident look in his eyes was clear at a glance - "Follow me." ”

The elf's natural acuity, combined with the animal's intuition, makes it easier to discern which path is safer. Eth reluctantly followed it for a while, and soon lost his patience. The slimy and smelly mud under his feet made him nauseous, not to mention...... Why was he so cautious?

He bent down and scooped up the little mongoose, and pressed his other hand to the ground weakly, and with a small click, white frost quickly spread on the ground and the mud pools large and small, and in the blink of an eye, a large swamp was frozen solid. The fog turned into small snowflakes in the instantly dropping temperature, falling silently, and the originally blurred vision became extremely clear.

Isis looked around with satisfaction. It didn't last long...... But they don't really need to spend time looking for the owner of the place.

"This ......," the old voice sounded not far away, "it's really not very polite. ”

The scaly, mottled dragon appeared in sunlight that rarely shone here, and its tarnished wings looked like a mass of half-withered moss. It shook its body from the frozen dirt and shook its head regretfully at Iss, "I shouldn't expect an ice dragon to know what 'politeness' is, though. ”

Iss was unconcerned about such taunts. Honestly, no dragon cares about "politeness" except for the spotted leaf dragon who has been neighbors with the elves for too long and has suffered a lot of bad things - strength is everything.

"You're coming sooner than I expected. The spotted leaf dragon gracefully coiled its tail and crouched on its hind paws, "Son of the Crystal Crown...... Do you have any other name than that ridiculous human name?"

Iss grimaced, ignoring his last sentence.

"Maybe you already knew why I came?" he asked angrily.

"Well. The spotted leaf dragon narrowed his eyes leisurely, "All I can say is whatever you want to know...... I can give you answers that you can't get anywhere else. ”

Iss didn't doubt this - a dragon that had lived for thousands of years could certainly have such confidence. Pity......

"Unfortunately, I've never heard of a hidden dragon that doesn't mix any lies in its 'answers'. He said coldly.

The spotted leaf dragon chuckled lowly, as if taking it as some kind of compliment.

"There is no absolute 'truth' in this world, Son of the Crystal Crown. It lazily scratched its jaw. Iss watched a few scales fall down like dandruff, and he couldn't help but be covered in hair.

It's so old...... It's better to die.

“...... What do you want?" he asked, "and I will do everything in my power to help you in exchange for a fact that at least nothing is deliberately concealed or distorted.

This was not the original plan...... He just suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was too ridiculous and pathetic—they might already be the last two dragons in the world, but they were still calculating with suspicion against each other.

It simply deserves extinction.

His tone was stiff and his expression was irritable. The spotted leaf dragon fell silent and stared at him for a long time.

Its eyes had the calm of the old priest who kept cleaning in front of the statue, silent to indifferent, deep to nothing.

"You really don't look like a dragon. It said, "I used to have a friend...... It's a little too close to you, think it's a guy I've known since I was a kid, it's just like you, it's not quite like a dragon...... Unfortunately, it didn't end well. ”

Iss unconsciously became angry. It's not because it's evaluated as "not quite like a dragon"...... He had already resigned himself to this. It's because of the implicit conclusion in that sentence - there will be no good end for him.

Even he himself was so skeptical...... Perhaps it was because of the inescapable fact that he was so angry.

However, his anger did not escape. The spotted leaf dragon changed his posture and said calmly: "Actually...... There's something you might be able to really help me. That guy who looks a bit like you...... You've probably heard its name. It foolishly fell in love with an elf and gave birth to a half-dragon, killing them all - a complete tragedy. But in magic, it is an incomparable genius, and it has created a world with its own powers...... A world small enough for it to hide in and spend its days with the elves it loves when it can't gain a foothold in the world. The key to being able to open that world is a cane...... If you can find it, I will answer all your questions honestly. ”

Iss looked at it in amazement, and for a moment he couldn't come back to his senses - it was too easy! The cane was thrown at Christesburg, and it was almost forgotten......

He had to suspect that there was a ghost in it, but not many people knew about it...... He hadn't even told Ed what it was!Besides, if anyone else knew that the cane was in their hands, how could it still be lying in his room in Christesburg in ashes?

“...... What do you want it for?" he could only ask awkwardly at the end.
