More than once, Ed looked out the window, terrified for a roar from above the sky and the white dragon descended...... Although there was still more than a day before the appointed time, his grumpy friend had little patience. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The room where he rested thoughtfully had walls that obscured his vision, as was customary, but he suspected that his every move would not avoid the eyes and ears of the elves. He was groggy and unable to sleep, so he could only get up and sit at the table to smear, trying to come up with a spell that would work with his power to find Novi's traces.

He wasn't worried about anyone seeing the jumbled symbols—no matter how advanced a priest or mage might be able to read them, even he himself probably couldn't guess what he was scribbling on the other night.

It was only when he was gently touched on the shoulder that he realized that he had almost fallen asleep before he knew it. He awoke suddenly, and looked back at Fenvi, who had appeared behind him like a ghost again, too lazy to wonder where he had come from.

The Shadow Dancer made a simple gesture to him. Ed nodded, silent.

As he followed Fenway into the underground passage next to the bed, Ed's heart flashed with an untimely emotion - if the dwarves knew that elves would also dig holes in the ground, they would probably laugh out of their big teeth with their stomachs in their hands.

But this narrow tunnel really doesn't look like the craft of the elves. It went deep into the ground, solid but rough, more like a hole made by some animal, and he couldn't help but be more and more curious.

However, Finvie is not a good person to talk to. He walked in front without a word, and even his shadow seemed particularly faint. Fearing that he would disappear in the blink of an eye, Ed stared at him unconsciously until he realized that it seemed like a heavy burden to the shadow dancer.

Fenway's footsteps remained silent, his shoulders tense as tense as a fried-haired cat. Ed withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened, suppressing the strange impulse in his heart.

- He actually wanted to touch his head to appease him.

Finway stopped suddenly, the dim glow of the torch illuminating the other two figures, and Ed recognized one of them...... Or two.

His eyes widened in surprise as his gaze on Reims?Sunchaser and ...... The other Ed Singhal went round and round and ended up falling on himself.

The young man with black hair looked exactly like him...... Even the appearance of laughing was the same innocent and harmless, so he couldn't help but touch his face, but he vaguely guessed something in his heart.

"I'll explain it to you, sir. Lance bowed slightly to him respectfully, "But you need to change your clothes as soon as possible, we don't have much time." ”

Ed didn't hesitate. But as he watched the other "Ed" waving happily at him in his clothes and disappearing into the darkness with Fenway, he still had doubts.

Is it really impossible to find out, though he doesn't see the difference...... But this is Grivar!

"Don't worry, sir. Lance said softly, "Elves are observant, but they are also bound by prejudices...... They know what to do.

Ed, who was easily seen through, closed his slightly open mouth in embarrassment.

Regardless, Lance was still alive, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Lance led him into another hidden tunnel—more subtle and subtle.

“...... It is humans who dig these tunnels to probe and deliver messages. The elf explained to him uncomfortably, "We're just ...... Borrow. ”

borrow, and transform.

Ed added silently, not sarcastically.

Lance was quiet for a moment before whispering, "I should thank you and your friends for saving Violetta." ”

“...... She is Norvi's sister. Ed replied.

Lance didn't ask her where she was, apparently knowing that Viorita had been taken back by Murray, the owner of the Starry Night Inn, before she had left Ston Butch City. The elf, who rarely showed up, disappeared for a while, and when he returned to Stonebuch, he became much friendlier to his fellow human "colleagues" who had always looked down on each other.

"What is certain is that he is loyal to the Silver Leaf King. Naria told Ed, "Although he seems to have always hated Norvi...... But Vioritta was safe there, and she probably preferred to stay with her kind. ”

"I did something stupid and self-righteous. Lance sighed in annoyance, "But it hurt her, if you could......"

"Do you need me to tell her you're still alive?" Ed guessed.

Lance hesitated for a moment, but shook his head.

"Thank you. He smiled wryly, "But I'm dead...... Until I can come back to life, or die completely, she'd better not know anything. ”

They didn't say anything more. At the exit of the dark passage is a large hollow tree, and a faint morning mist is filled with the trees. The morning in the jungle seemed quieter than the night, and Ed, who had just emerged from the shadows, felt uneasy that he was surrounded by prying eyes.

A white stone tower towered not far away, shadowed in the mist, reminding Ed of the Temple of Collins. It's easy to guess where this solemn white tower is, so what they're doing now...... It's pretty bold.

The guards outside the stone pagoda gate do not squint, like statues. Behind the heavy gate, Payne, who had taken off his ornate robes and changed into the leather armor of a guard, smiled apologetically at Ed.

"I'm sorry. His explanation was simple and straightforward, "You should be tired, but only at this time can I trust the guards inside and outside the Silent Tower." ”

"What do you want me to do?" Ed asked bluntly, "as long as I can do it......"

"There aren't many places in the whole of Grimal that I can't get into. "One of the chambers under the Tower of Silence is one of them, and I'm worried that there's something hidden in it that shouldn't be...... Remember I told you that Scott was here and asked where Ankeland was?"

Ed nodded.

"He's not going to do it for no reason. At first I thought it was because it contained some of Ankland's treasures, such as his broken cane and the broken gems on it...... That's how Fei Rui explains it, but I'm afraid that's not all. ”

A flash of anger and fear flashed through his eyes, but it was enough for Ed to realize that something might be more serious than he thought.

“...... I shouldn't have let you get involved. Payne saw his uneasiness, and his slightly hurried tone softened, but became more sincere, "All of Grivar's chanters are loyal to the Presbyterian Church, and that place is sealed with magic. I can't find any other spellcaster I can trust but you - but, Ed, if you're not sure, don't do anything. ”
