The little mongoose withdrew its two little paws back to her chest and looked back at him with the same earnestness, and after a long while, slowly made a few gestures.

I can't be sure.

He told them.

I'm not sure if this is my own judgment or if anyone wants to use me to influence your judgment. So, I can only tell you what I can think of...... And you have to judge for yourselves.

Ed looked at the wisdom and brilliance of the elves in the eyes of the animals, and suddenly his nose soured.

Even if it falls into such a situation, it is still a Novi day chaser.

"The end of the world ......" After a moment of silence, he spoke softly, "I actually want to see it." ”

Maybe it started when I saw the mad mage's notes in the Valley of Enshi, or maybe it started when I faced the endless walls of hell in the illusion...... What is outside the walls, beyond the barriers of this world?

“...... Is that okay?" he asked, looking up.

"That place is hard to get to. Iss frowned, "Even if it's me, it will take a lot of time to fly over, and the closer you get to the edge, the more difficult it will be." ”

"Teleportation doesn't work either. Ed pinched his fingers unconsciously, "A place I haven't been to and can't be confirmed...... It's a bit dangerous to know exactly where the magic will fail...... How many can you divide it into, but the farthest you can get to the sea north of Hertland. We will fall into the sea...... But you have wings......"

Tess looked left and right, her eyes wide.

“...... Are you serious?" she cried, "there's a demon in the temple of the god of water who can turn into anyone, and there's an old fellow in Balk who doesn't know what to do, and at this time, you still want to fly to the edge of the sky to 'see'? What do you expect to see? I think it's doubtful what you have in your skull!"

Iss glared at her, "...... You're really holding a grudge. ”

"Of course!" Tess pointed to her nose, rightly speaking, "Isn't this one of the 'Top 10 Things You Can't Know About Tess Shepard'?"

Iss turned his head in frustration, he shouldn't have bothered with her about this!

Rosa, who had been silent, chuckled lowly.

"If you really want to go," she said, "I have here a chart, and the route from here to Hetland, and the islands near the route, is much more detailed than this, and accurate enough, that if it had not been turned out, it would have been hidden in my house...... Does it work?"

Ed's eyes lit up: "Yes!"

Rosa's father was a pirate, and it was not surprising that she had such a chart in her hand. But she didn't seem to stop them in the slightest...... This made Ed a little strange.

"I just came. Rosa smiled at his puzzled look, "I don't know exactly what happened, but since the demon is in the Temple of Water, the other 'old fellow' is in Balk's hands...... Even if you stay here, you won't be able to do more than those adults. ”

Tess sneered: "You might as well just say that he doesn't have enough brains and will fall as soon as he cheats." ”

Ed rubbed his nose wryly, and Rosa still smiled softly.

"You've sent your immediate troubles into the hands of someone better suited to solve them. "If there's nothing more urgent, instead of waiting here for something to happen, it's better to do something that no one else can." and ......"

She looked at the huge map laid out on the ground and tapped her toes.

"This thing almost hit me on the head when a pile of blackened skins and papers collapsed...... As for me, I don't believe too much in coincidences. She said.

“...... So, somebody wants us to see this?" said Ed bowed.

"You know what?" said Rosa unhurriedly, "Cesyana and I were suddenly pulled to Tess from the forest to the north. ”

There are very few people who can do this, and who can do it.

Naria thought about the few possibilities, and her eyebrows raised unhappily, and she glanced at Is, who was silent, and then fell back silently.

"I want to go. "Ed made a decision.

It is true that he does not have enough wisdom and experience, but he has a strength that is almost unmatched today. He couldn't see through the things hidden in the fog, but if he could stand taller, maybe he could really see farther literally, high and far.

A few days later, at noon, Ed sat cross-legged on the ice dragon's broad back, unable to open his eyes from the sunlight reflected off the sea, and soon began to fall asleep.

He craned his neck, wondering if it would be more secure to sleep in the claws of the ice dragon...... But he didn't dare to speak.

The journey, which had been as short as possible, was even more tiring than he had imagined.

There was a limit to the teleportation techniques he could use in a day, and the distances he could teleport were getting shorter and shorter, so he had to be careful. And the farther away from the mainland, the stronger the feeling of powerlessness becomes, and even the water, which he has always been able to use freely, becomes a little difficult to master.

Sometimes he had to teleport to the sea, as he did today, and then Iss would fly with him to the nearest island, resting enough before starting the next leg of the trip. With the physical strength of the ice dragon, he could actually fly faster and farther, and he could have rested only on the dragon's back, but he carefully calculated the time and distance, not wanting any of them to be too tired.

Who knows what awaits them?

They did not exactly follow the sea lanes. From mid-air, the endless sea is always empty, not a single boat can be seen, and the occasional island is visible...... It's really very occasional. The dolphins and whales that leapt out of the sea make Ed scream like a child with joy, and the light and shadow of day and night cast on the surface of the sea, gorgeous and magnificent. He thought he would not be able to see enough, but the initial excitement quickly turned into boredom, especially during the day, when he began to feel uncomfortable after being shaken by the immensity of the blue for two or three days, and even looked forward to a storm...... No, no, no, it's better not to.

The wind swept past his ears and his body fell forward, and Ed, who was half burned by the newly rising sun, struggled to open his eyes and realized that the ice dragon was flying diagonally downward.

"Is it there?" he asked.

The ice dragon didn't answer.

"What's wrong?" Ed felt that something was wrong, and looked down, once again dazzled by the blinding light on the sea, and tears flowed from his eyes.

The ice dragon continued to descend without a sound, so low that it almost landed on the surface of the sea, its silver-white figure reflected in the sea, like a huge fish passing by in the sea.

Moments later, it flew out of the water.

"There's something underwater. It said.

Ed heard something strange in its pretended calm tone.

“...... What is it?" he asked alarmedly, "what do you want?"

"It's not entirely certain yet. The ice dragon replied, a low laugh in his throat rolling through like thunder, flying higher and higher, "But...... You'll always know. ”
