Scott didn't have much left for Is. A few pieces of clothing, a bag of coins mixed together, and the magic sword that Ed had brought out of the necromancer's cave, he also kept.

And, a note with only a simple sentence written on it.

"I'm sorry. Is, go back to Karnak, Eren will help you. ”

Naria pronounced the line, then angrily crumpled the entire sheet of paper and threw it into the corner of the room.

"I can't believe it! He still has the face to say that he is Is's brother! How can there be such an irresponsible brother!! I actually thought that it should be no problem to leave Isis in his care...... I should have known he couldn't believe it! He left Isis for ten years and then suddenly appeared and disappeared again...... What the hell is he trying to do?!"

"Naria...... Be quiet. Eren had to warn her that her roar could probably be heard by anyone outside the room.

"Naria...... I don't think Iss wants to hear that right now. Ed reminded with a sad face.

Naria finally shut her mouth and looked at Iss worriedly.

Isis was staring blankly at the paper ball in the corner, suddenly stood up, silently picked up the paper ball and pinched it in the palm of his hand, and returned to his place to continue to sit in a daze.

Ever since he was brought back by Alan, he had been looking like he had lost his soul, and Naria couldn't help but think of when he first arrived at her house ten years ago. At that time, he sat in front of the window in a daze every day, waiting for Scott to come and take him home, and every day he got nothing but disappointment......

And now, almost the same blow. The culprit is still the same person, how can she not be angry!

"How could you make friends with someone like that!" she began to turn her anger on Allen, who was equally thoughtful to the side. Ignore her at all.

"He said 'I'm sorry,' Naria. Only Ed whispered in his uncle's defense, "He must have had some compelling reason to leave......

"Whatever the reason for him, can't he make it clear to his face?!" Naria hates this kind of vagueness the most, "He doesn't know how hurtful this way is?!

The disgusting "I'm doing this for you, so you must forgive me" righteousness...... She won't forgive!

Ed scratched his ears. He didn't like it either, but Naria's extenuating anger didn't help it.

He was more worried about Is, who looked like he had been petrified. Even when he was imprisoned in the underground of the Temple of Collins. Isis probably breathed more than he does now. He hoped that Norway would return from the library as soon as possible, and he soaked in it almost every day...... Elves always know how to comfort people. And he usually talks so much that he hates a dog, but in this case he doesn't know what to say at all.

"There are always reasons that can't be explained. Eren sighed and walked over to Is, looking him straight in the eye. Speaking gently, "I know it's hard...... Son, you have to tell me why you got into a fight, maybe we can know where he's going......"

"Llewellyn. Isis replied softly, but his eyes were still blank, "He said we went to Llewellyn and rode to ......"

He stopped and shook his head, as if he had finally come to his senses.

"He left the room alone last night...... After a long time away, I asked him what he had done. But he would not say anything. ”

He told Allen this, with grievance and confusion in his voice: "I told him, 'Either we just go our separate ways', and he didn't say a word...... Is that why he left? Because I said, 'To each his own'?"

"Of course not. Alan replied. "He left because he didn't want to bother you...... He's obviously in trouble, and we're going to figure this out -- we're going to help me, right?"

Ise stared at him blankly for a moment, then nodded vigorously, "Keller Brian told me, 'Look at your brother...... I shouldn't have run away alone!"

He looked dejected, but finally came to his senses.

Eddton's admiration for Allen was overwhelming. It was much more useful than Naria's angry yelling—which he certainly wouldn't say.

"Celebryan," Alan muttered. "He didn't tell you why......"

Before Isis could answer, he shook his head: "Of course he won't tell you." ”

"You, the half-elf. And Scott, you guard your secrets like a dragon guarding your treasure!" said Narya, indignantly, "sooner or later you too will be as unlucky as the dragons who cling to their treasures!—not you, Is. ”

Alan couldn't help but sigh, "You're not helping at all, Naria, why don't you go and get us something to eat? ”

Naria looked unhappy, but obediently left the room, presumably realizing that she wasn't helping.

"Scott should know someone here, too?" Ed struggled to prove himself useful so as not to be kicked out, "maybe they know something." ”

"He's gone to see a ...... who repairs books There is also a priest of Anduhe. Iss recalled. At least Scott didn't hide it from him on these things, so that's probably not the problem......

"Andukh's priest?" Ed asked, glancing at Allen, "...... Isn't his name Nigel Lowe?"

"That's it. "That priest you know in Miaz-Weis...... Did something happen to him?"

He noticed Ed's uneasy look.

"He's missing. Allen said. Nigel was out and about all the time, but he never disappeared when he should have been in the temple, and he never said goodbye without saying goodbye, which made the High Priest of Anduhe immediately realize that something was wrong.

Isis was stunned.

"But that's not right. Scott had nothing to do with his disappearance, he went to see the pastor yesterday afternoon, and he told me he liked the pastor a lot...... What's the reason for him to sneak out in the middle of the night and look for him again?" he instinctively argued for Scott.

"If Scott were still a paladin of the water god, there would be no conflict between him and the priest of Anduhe. "But he's now a priest of Nessa, a man who is being hunted down by the order of the king of Anktan...... Rumor has it that Anduhe's temple is ostensibly ignorant of this, but in fact secretly supports it...... I don't want Scott to have anything to do with the pastor's disappearance, but it's possible. ”

"No, it can't be!" retorted Iss, firmly, "he won't lie to me...... Even if there was any conflict, he wouldn't sneak out in the middle of the night and kill people! You know him, there's no way Scott would do that...... Maybe Lydia!"

He suddenly remembered the female mage who hadn't appeared for a long time, but always seemed to be floating around them.

“...... You met Lydia?" Alan's face couldn't have been worse.

"She grabbed me...... "Iss unconsciously touched the ring on his wrist, "Scott destroyed their hiding place to save me...... Lydia would never just let him go!"

"If it's Lydia, why can't he tell you?" asked Alan calmly, "that ...... Lydia put it on you?"

He saw the jet-black ring, he had seen it...... No wonder Isis was beaten so badly.

"It's her......" Isis tugged at the hoop in frustration.

And that makes things even more troublesome. Of course, he hoped that Iss wouldn't turn into a dragon at will, but at this point they might need the power of a dragon.

"What's that?" Ed couldn't help but ask.

"Leave it alone!" Iss began to get angry, "...... In short, it can't be Scott who killed that priest!"

"You're mistaken, Is. Alan reassured him, "When did I say Scott killed the priest? I'm just saying that there might be some connection, or that someone found out that Scott had approached the pastor, or maybe he found out that the pastor wasn't telling him the truth......"

Iss stared at him and began to shake his head: "No. Alan, what do you know about Scott...... What are you hiding from me!"

Alan didn't trust Scott - at least not Scott now. Iss didn't think it was because Scott had converted to another god who wasn't yet recognized. Alan Cavo didn't care about any gods, he knew it. He could also see Alan's doubts hidden behind his concern.

If he cares, he's actually quite good at reading words and feelings.

Alan avoided his gaze, but didn't deny it.

"Tell me, Alan!" Is, suppressing the anger in his heart, whispered a plea. "Stop lying to me!"

If he hadn't allowed anger to overwhelm reason for a moment, Scott probably wouldn't have left like this...... He didn't want to mess things up again.

Eren was silent for a long time, so long that Iss could barely control his anger anymore before he finally spoke: "Before you see that note...... I don't even believe that the Scott you meet is the 'real' Scott until I recognize it as Scott's handwriting. ”

“...... Of course he is!" Iss said angrily, "how could I be mistaken!, even if you don't believe me, you should believe that half-elf!"

It looked surprisingly young, but it was undoubtedly Scott Christus!

"Of course I believe you. Allen's tone was calm and tired, "I just don't know how to explain this." ”

He took something out of his bosom and handed it to Is. It was a small ring set with a light blue gemstone, simple and elegant.

"It's ...... Scott's. Isse recognized it uneasily. Scott wore the ring on a chain and hung it around his chest, and as a child it dangled in front of him.

"It was his mother who left it. "He never left him. ”

“...... So where did you get that?" Ed asked, dumbfounded. Since Scott's disappearance, Alan should not have seen him.

"Tonbuch. Alan replied bitterly, "From a grave keeper." ”.
