Filly turned his head a little absent-mindedly, stunned for a moment at the sight of Ed and Eric, and then a big smile bloomed on his face, making Ed suddenly feel that he didn't seem to be that annoying.

"Little bastard!" he rushed over and wrapped his arms around the necks of the two young men, "I knew you couldn't die!"

Ed rolled his eyes - but he might well be strangled by him!

Filly finally let them go.

"I'm sorry, Sawari-sama, I seem to be ...... Caused you a lot of trouble. Eric nervously apologized.

“...... Your Excellency?" Filly repeated in confusion a term he hadn't heard in a long time.

He remembered, and his strength had been restored...... But he's forgotten what happened after his amnesia, isn't he?," Ed said teasingly. Forgetting the nonsense that Fili told Eric after his amnesia was definitely a good thing for Fili.

"But Danvers......" Eric held out his hand, the ring that belonged to the priest lying quietly in the palm of his hand, "we found this ...... from the female necromancer's body"

Filly was silent and picked up the ring. He had always hoped that he would bring everyone back well, but deep down, he actually knew that the missing people were likely to be more than lucky.

"The female necromancer they killed may be the missing Gloria. Norway looked at Haryat and Risek, who were still following their priests, "Maybe you should find a good time to talk to the priests of Nesses about what happened tonight...... It's all wrong. ”

"When did you kill that woman, and where?" asked Fili, frowning. While the priests didn't say anything and were busy healing, the Anktans believe that their priests eliminated the skeletons and necromancers hiding in the ruined city. But if it was actually Ed and Eric who killed the necromancer......

"About the first half of the night? In the cemetery, she looked a little strange. Eric replied.

“...... The skeletons were still banging on the door. Fili grabbed her hair and sighed, nothing was wrong all day today.

"Then why are you only back now?" asked Norwe. He knew the location of the two cemeteries, and he didn't need to walk so late to get here from either of them.

"Oh, we ran into ...... Another trouble. ”

The thought of the corpse still made Ed shiver. He told everything in the most concise language, even saving a little boast about himself.

"The body is still there, but we don't dare touch him again, you have to let the others know about it. ”

"That's really ......," Filly muttered.

"Disgusting. Ed said, "I know. ”

He hadn't eaten anything for almost the whole day, and now he still wanted to throw up again.

"I mean 'weird'...... But it's really disgusting. Filly admitted, a curious gaze drifting to Ed's chest.

"Would you like to see the ball?" Ed reached into his fanny pack, losing the box and chain.

"Nope. Not now. Filly pressed his hand, "Actually, you'd better treat it as if it didn't exist." He glanced at Eric, and the young paladin was stunned for a moment, then nodded knowingly.

"That time...... It seems to be the time when the skeletons fell. Norway reminded him softly.

“...... Hey, didn't you catch Hoan? Maybe he knows something. Ed wasn't sure if he still wanted to see Joan. It took a lot of effort for him to pretend he had forgotten what it felt like he had stuck the knife in his chest, but he really wanted to ask him "why".

He couldn't think of a reason why Huo An had to kill him. That boy, he was ...... Actually, you want to save him, don't you?

"Philip Zeri, the knight of the god of water, and his friends. An unfamiliar voice rang out around them.

Ed stared curiously at the man in front of him—judging by the looks of Haryat and Risek on one side, it was the legendary priests of Nesses. They were plainly dressed and did not have long staffs to help cast spells and beat people, the older priest had short, neat gray hair, black eyes and thin cheeks that looked somewhat serious, and his straight stance was more like that of a warrior, and the young priest was slightly shorter than Norvi, the most common blonde blue eye among the Anktan, and the short blonde hair was a little unkempt because of the natural curls, coupled with the clear light blue eyes and bright smile that Eddarn felt a little familiar, and it was natural to make people feel favorable.

"Khaliat has told us everything. Thank you very much for your help. The older pastor politely thanked him and did not mention details such as the impersonator's covert surveillance.

"That's ...... Our duties ......" said Filly, who was the worst at dealing with this kind of ...... He looks like Sean Frache, a serious and serious person.

"I heard there's another priest from Anduhe......" The gray-haired, middle-aged priest looked around.

"He said he needed a quiet place to rest, and I took him to the room over there. Filly pointed to the hallway to the right.

"I can go and call him. Harriat walked over as he spoke, but was stopped by the young priest.

"Don't bother him. He said, then turning to Filly and Ed: "I think you're tired too." The day is long enough that it really should be a time to rest, tomorrow ...... We have a lot of time to talk about whatever we want. ”

No one disputes this. They have long been exhausted.

"Rest well, friends. The young blonde priest smiled and said, "Nothing will disturb your good dreams tonight." ”

Norway didn't want to wake up Akan and Tess, who were sleeping soundly. The regrouped companions fell asleep close to each other in a corner of the hall, and even Philip and Eric naturally joined them.

Ed was constantly awakened - Akan snorted intermittently, and Nalya rolled over slightly, the sound of footsteps walking past them, shadows cast on him by the firelight...... He didn't want to admit that although the knife that Huo An inserted in his chest didn't kill him, it left a deep shadow in his heart.

So when Philip Zeri quietly got up to leave, Ed immediately opened his eyes. He watched the paladin walk out the door, thought about it and thought about it, but he couldn't help but get up and tiptoe after him.

Neither the square nor the hall was guarded, and the weary people fell asleep, trusting that the priest would watch over them from all evil and danger—and the young priest stood alone in the square, looking out at the still dark sky.

When he heard the footsteps behind him, he smiled slightly, and said without looking back, "I've been wondering, when will you come to me...... Fili Zeri, your patience is still the same as before, but it's better than nothing. ”

The knight of the water god was silent for a while before he spoke: "And I've been wondering, 'Are you also amnesia', how can I say this kind of thing more tactfully and not rude...... You know, I've never been good at this. But my brainstorming seems to have been in vain - you don't have amnesia. ”

He walked over to the priest and looked as he did at the darkness that seemed to be boundless beyond the firelight.

Scott Crieses...... We all thought you were dead. ”

Calling out that familiar name again gave Filly a strange feeling, like he had returned to Stonebutch a few years earlier, about to face the final battle. That night, they stood side by side like this, looking at different landscapes and the same night.

"How could you...... How can you ......" He had a myriad of questions, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.

"How could I become the priest of Nesses, how could I betray Nyor. Scott whispered the question on his behalf, "It's a long, long story, Filly, and maybe you'd better know nothing." ”

“...... Can you still hear the voice of your heart?"

"It's always been there, as clear as ever. ”

"Have you not strayed from your path?"

Scott laughed silently, "I don't know if you remember those words, you looked like you were about to fall asleep then." ”

"Answer me, Scott. Fili's voice sounded extremely serious.

"I know what I'm doing, Fili Zeri, maybe one day you'll understand, but not now...... I'm sorry. Scott looked at his former friend, his light blue eyes still bright and almost innocent, and still hidden the determination and fearlessness of moving forward.

“...... All right. Filly scratched at his hair helplessly, "You know, there's nothing to hide from Sean Fletcher, and even if I don't tell him, he'll know sooner or later." ”

"So you won't say?" said Scott, with a smile in his voice.

"Oh, of course I'll have to tell him, but as a high-ranking paladin, I have the right to decide to report back to him after I find out everything, so ...... Maybe you can tell me how long that will take?"

"It won't be long. Scott blinked.

“...... You're lying. Fili said with annoyance, "You really haven't made any progress in this area!"

"Thanks for the compliment, honesty is always a virtue. Scott looked like a kid when he grinned, "Honestly, I don't know." ”

“...... Do you know that your brother has become a dragon?"

A smile froze on his lips, and Scott's gaze darkened.

"Then you know. The people I was with, Ed Singhal, the two girls, and his elven friends, had been looking for Is, and they seemed to want to take him home. And many more, including Sean Fletcher, wanted to kill him. But I've seen that ice dragon, Scott, and when I mention your name, when I look into his eyes, I know that even if you become a dragon, you're still important to him...... If someone can take him home, it's you, and if you want to kill him, it's easier than anyone else - I don't know what you're trying to do, but that's your responsibility, Scott, and you can't just leave him aside. It doesn't look like you at all. ”

Scott hung his head and said nothing. Until Filly left, he remained in that position, as if he had turned into a statue in the cold wind.
