The reason is obvious when you think about it. Ed looked down at his toes, a little guilty, and a little secretly happy.

He thought he was calm, but he still made his friends worry about him.

He really didn't have that much sadness. Perhaps because Laval's death had been foreshadowed, and he himself had arranged everything so calmly, that there was no longer any need for too much mourning from others to paint his departure in a darker color.

He just...... Feeling more and more urgency and panic. It was as if every star fell, and the dark canopy of heaven pressed down even lower, pressing on his shoulders, and even if he didn't have to carry it alone, the fear of losing his support could not be shaken off.

There was a time when he thought that the future of this world depended on him to save it, and if it failed, it must be his fault, but now that he thinks about it, even the fear and anxiety that arise from it seem so arrogant and ridiculous.

As his strength grew stronger, he saw his weakness more and more clearly. He was able to ...... because there were countless people he knew or didn't know, who saw or didn't see the world in their own ways, and who were trying to detect the dangers that lurked in the darkness even before he was born At this time, I still have the leisure to be like a five-year-old boy, secretly entangled with "my favorite friend is no longer the best in the world".

The ice dragon that is unique in this world deserves more and better friends. He can't take his company for granted, or even his own, just because he's always by his side.

Ed Singhal spits on his own naivety and selfishness and tries to pull himself together.

"You're not done with your adventures. He said, "What did you find?"

With his cooperation, Is's narration immediately went much smoother. By the time they got back to the Lord's Mansion, they had almost come to an end - the greatest danger of burrowing through the dark caves and the cold waters of the lake was nothing more than the fact that Kormit might be crushed by his big belly, and there were really not many twists and turns.

"It took a long time for us to put that circle back. "If only it could trap the Eternal Flame...... It should be able to trap something else. ”

Ed involuntarily slowed his pace, another circle in his head, accompanied by the muffled voice of the dead old priest.

Trap-like summoning ...... Incense bait that attracts demons...... Heavy Imprisonment......

— and a sword of destruction that defies the limits of space.

He grabbed Is's arm, and in the dark corridor, a ray of sunlight fell into his eyes through the high glass window.

"I think of ...... A somewhat risky plan. He said.

.

At dinner, Ed tells his plan and succeeds in getting Borena to choke on the creamy mushroom soup.

"You mean...... His Majesty repeated incredulously, clutching his nose and coughing violently, "to summon our greatest enemy before he is ready, and then slash him with a sword?"

- Is it that easy?!

"We already have a weapon that can kill him," Ed said, snapping his hands and telling him, "there's a way to summon it, and there's a circle to imprison it......"

A weapon capable of killing an enemy may destroy the world's remaining barriers, a method of summoning an enemy is not yet a sufficient decoy to attract it, and a circle capable of imprisoning it may not be so strong, or even another trap that uses demonic language...... But in Ed's view, it's still a plan worth considering.

They did have a "way out", but the world that Sachses had sacrificed himself to revive could not accommodate everyone in this world. Until the last minute, he will not give up the slightest possibility of victory.

"'The sun is still rising...... Why don't you pull them out into the sun?'" He repeated the "Famous Quote of His Majesty the King", which had been born just two days earlier, and his blue eyes were shining and full of adoration: "Isn't that what you said?"

Borena scratches his beard. He didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of the young man, but even if he didn't know magic, he could realize the dangers of the plan...... He said that he would defeat the enemy from the front, but he wanted to gather all his forces to defend carefully and attack boldly, like facing a war, rather than relying solely on the power of magic to make a desperate bet.

Of course, the more unexpected and wonderful the story is written on paper, but the possibility of a plan such as a "surprise attack" succeeding in reality is very small.

He stole a pleading glance at the Archon, who he was good at pouring cold water. Ethan squinted his eyes half-squinted, slowly slicing the well-fried fish pieces as if he were unconscious.

Solve the trouble caused by what you say yourself—this is the responsibility of a good king.

Of course, if there is a better way, it doesn't have to be so risky. Ed himself relented, "But it might be useful as a surprise when things are not going well, or as a last resort." ”

Borena immediately nodded: "Of course! it's always good to be a little more prepared." ”

"But," Ed's brow furrowed into a small wrinkle, "I need to do some experiments...... Of course, I won't summon anything dangerous, but just activating the circle repeatedly will consume a lot of precious materials. ”

"What do you need?" Borena said generously, "I have some ...... here."

Ethan glanced up at him, his cold gaze blocking out his unspeakable bounty.

"I think the Anduhe Temple will be more than willing to support your experiments. "They have experience and the right place, don't they?"

At the same time, they are also very rich and need it, and they will even be eager to show their attitude and position with such support.

Ed knew this, but still wanted to knock a stroke off Borena. He can't keep squeezing his father, and he also wants to relieve Nigel of some pressure - there is a limit to robbing while the fire is hot. Moreover, he had heard a long time ago that Eugene De Juri, Borena's father, had amassed considerable wealth during the war, and it should not be a problem to support him a little?

He took out the true character of a merchant and began to bargain with the Archon, and without noticing, his friend, who was sitting silently beside him, looked a little strange.

.

"In that Yanlong's cave, it's still ...... Something. ”

After dinner, they were walking in the garden when Iss suddenly spoke.

Ed was a little puzzled: "But, aren't those things wrapped in stones, and I'm not sure how many there are?"

Painstakingly collecting melted gold, broken gems, magical items that have probably been destroyed to the point of uselessness...... It doesn't feel like a good deal.

Iss twisted his head to the side, the moonlight shining on his reddened ears.

"There, there's pure gold. "It's a gotten mine," he sullenly said. ”
