He thought Ed wouldn't dare, but the guy rolled his eyes and started to play tricks.

"It's 'off', not hidden. "And it was Felicity's own trap, not me—she didn't want to hurt the visitor." ”

He even reached out and patted Fili on the shoulder, encouraging him and comforting him: "You just tell Sean that he can't kill people where Felicity lived." ”

What's more, is the crow so easy to kill? She is trapped inside, but she has not lost the ability to cast spells, and if she really fights, she will not care about causing any damage, but Sean will definitely throw a mouse trap.

Fili looked at him, and the sudden sinking of his eyes made him slightly uneasy.

"I thought you were angry at her disrespect for Felicity to break in. "But now, you're protecting her...... What did she say that made you forget your original purpose so easily?"

Ed thought he hadn't done anything wrong, but suddenly felt a little weak.

"I'm not going to ask you to tell me. Before he could speak, Fili stopped him, "You can do it if you think it's worth it." ”

He spoke in a calm tone, and walked away - that was enough to express his displeasure.

“...... She wouldn't care about such disrespect. Ed panicked, instinctively pleading for himself, "Felicity doesn't care about such disrespect. ”

Fili froze, but looked even more disappointed when he turned around.

"Of course she didn't care. "So I didn't think you had to go in at all...... But I didn't think that's what you cared about. I thought you cared about the guys who were deceived by their worship of Felicity—or, in your opinion, their worship was too blind and not as lucid as you were to take it to heart?"

"I ...... There is no ......," Ed snorted, his voice low and inaudible.

Feely rarely accuses anyone with such sharp words, and Ed has realized guilty that his accusations are not wrong. What angered the paladin was not that he had changed his mind and started defending the crow, but that he had a fearless and frivolous attitude.

He can change his purpose because of interests, but he can't forget what he should insist on.

“...... I'm sorry. He bowed his head and confessed, not believing that the paladin was too him. He knew that Fili would be much more lenient with him if he was still outside the temple as he had done before, but if he wanted to take on the name of "Sage...... You have to be more strict with yourself.

“...... Come on. Fili waved his hand and let him go, "I'll watch her." The man Balk had sent was at the gate, and the crack on the west side of the city was not quite right...... Maybe it's more than that. ”

That's a problem he can't solve, so he doesn't bother to get involved. And how to deal with Sean Fletcher's anger, he is better than Ed.

- In the eyes of the paladins, this is also quite a skill to be proud of.

.

It was something Ed had expected of the cracks to change, but he didn't think it was too serious—otherwise he would soon notice.

The men sent by Balk didn't seem to be in a hurry, so they simply walked across the city to get a feel for its different atmosphere. The pale moon still hung silently in the sky, and Ed didn't know if it was an illusion...... He felt that the moon was getting bigger and closer, so close that it was a little breathless.

In the darkness of the night, however, the world that had been agitated when it rose had fallen silent—its return had been accepted. The most ordinary animals and plants are more alive because of this, and the races with more wisdom and strength are uneasy because of this sudden change, as if they are facing a great enemy.

The cracks in the western suburbs are on the edge of the new district. Most of the people who moved here have left, while others have returned to the city. Despite all the events that proved that Stonebugch was not safe, the towering walls were more reassuring to the wanderers.

When they arrived, Skyell Mondstadt was standing alone outside the crowd of clerics, staring mockingly at the overly striking white robe in the moonlight.

"Ah, here you are. He waved to Ed and Is, and then gestured casually to the crowd, "Like a flock of geese?"

He can talk freely, but Ed can't echo it...... Although it looks like this, it is a bit like it.

"Your ...... What about the companions?" Ed asked him.

"You think I'm alone?" Mondstadt stretched out his arms, "I think I can fly now...... I feel like I can do anything. ”

He turned to Is, "What about you?" young Christus, my ice dragon friend. ”

"I could have flown in. Iss replied nonchalantly.

The mage laughed out loud in disbelief, his green eyes dark and scorching. Ed could feel his excitement at all...... But his power is deep and restrained, neither chaotic nor abrupt, as if it has been precipitated in his body for many years, and only today can it be revealed to people.

Ed looked at him thoughtfully, but he just winked at him tacitly.

The mage's laughter brought more people back. York Tracy parted the crowd and hurried over, with a complicated expression on his face.

"That crack," he said, "is almost gone." ”

Ed tiptoed, unable to see or even feel anything.

"That's kind of a ...... Good thing, right?" he said.

Icabold once said that the realms are generally balanced inside and outside, that power is always flowing, and that a stable world will protect itself...... Now this rift that is spreading across the continent is because the power of this world has been repeatedly extracted in a short period of time, and the original strong barrier is becoming more and more fragile. But now, the source of ancient magic, which is unique to this world, has poured water into the dried-up rivers - it is bound to cause many changes, but not necessarily bad.

“...... You know how it's going. York was sure, and pointed to the sky, "You know what it is." ”

"Magic Moon. Ed replied, "The moon that was really born with the sun, the older moon." ”

"Sunlight brings life, moonlight brings magic. York muttered, because it was past the most shocking time, but he was left with a blank heart, "So that's true......"

"Is that ......," Ed guessed, "did the High Priest of the Goddess of Dawn tell you?"

She also said that the sun rises and the moon is dawn. York smiled wryly and lowered his voice, "In almost everyone thought ...... When she was too old to be sane, she always sat there, muttering something that no one could understand. But maybe that's ...... When she's closest to the gods, it's time for her. ”
