Eli's new prison is still beneath the temple. The enclosed stone walls are not gloomy, but have a majestic and heavy atmosphere...... With the momentum of towering mountains, Isdu felt great pressure.

There must be something powerful hidden here.

This is not surprising. It is said that the original priests of the gods were given gifts from the gods in order to quickly attract a large number of believers. Although most of them have been lost or destroyed over a long period of time, there are always a few that remain. Anduhe, the god of the mountains, was the most worshipped deity in Anktan, and the priesthood of Anduch had never been very high-profile, but it was also a being for whom the royal power had to be conceded - something that could not be obtained by secular power alone.

They must have power beyond the king's power.

At the moment, the clergy who had lost their high priesthood were not nervous or worried, and Nigel, who had "disappeared" and returned, seemed to be the default leader. As soon as Ise remembered that he had had had an argument with Scott because of this guy...... As a result, Scott just threw him away and ran away, and couldn't help but want to prick him a few more words.

"Speaking of which," he said, "everybody thought you were burned to ashes by Scott...... How did you go back from gray back to human?"

This sentence is almost vicious when you think about it. It is known that another person who was reborn from the flames was Scott, and he is now regarded by almost everyone as the Sage of Nesses, so Nigel has the same experience...... What will it be?

Nigel looked at him in a strange way, not like because of his aggression and provocation, but as if surprised that he would mention Scott in this way, as if it was just someone who had nothing to do with him...... Just his enemies.

Isis looked at him with a tense face. He had suspected that the priest had some connection with Scott, and now he was even more suspicious.

So the stab came back to his own heart.

He could barely control his emotions anymore. Fortunately, Borena quickly arrived from Llewellyn - the teleportation array between the temples was still considered a stable and safe passage.

The stern-faced man finally looked like he had a bit of the majesty of a king, but he smiled and reverted to his original form. He didn't come alone, an old woman with white hair followed him, nodding silently to Is.

Isis was a little confused, but didn't ask much. Instead, Borena took the initiative to introduce him: "This is Rey, a hermit on White Rock Island. She helped us a lot...... At the time of the rise of that ridiculously large moon. ”

Eth glanced at the old man, who was still silent with his eyes downcast, and decided to pretend like she didn't know each other.

"I heard that Tonbuchi was also very lively for a while?" asked Borena casually.

“...... More than a while. Iss replied.

Borena stopped talking. He is actually quite well-informed, and the little king of Lutgar has been sending him the latest news that he thinks is "beneficial to the great human alliance", such as the origin of the full moon, such as the speculation of the clergy about the cracks and their advice to "cast spells carefully", to build a refuge, and so on. Although he suspected that the little king's mother or his maternal grandfather was the guide behind him, at least the letters to him were written by his own hand, and some of the words that seemed to be pretended to be mature were really embarrassing and amusing, but remembering the burden that the young king, who was not much older than Sersio, and who had a father "like that", carried a burden at such a time, he nevertheless tried to reply to him personally in the same serious words as a token of thanks, for which he even scratched off a few more strands of hair...... It wasn't until he found a little joy in "playing a serious king" that he barely persevered.

But he didn't know how much longer he could hold out...... Because this character is really not very interesting.

He really needs Ethan Crooffler. Even Anktan's situation seems to be much better than that of his hapless neighbor - there aren't too many cracks here, and the further north you go, the fewer there are, and it is said that there are none on the barbarians' ice fields at all. And that group of followers of Nesses, although mostly Anktan, did not put much attention to the country, presumably because it was not so important in a sense...... Or maybe they feel that the country is already their territory.

Borena did not feel at all humiliated by being taken lightly, and even a little glad that it was. Of course, he didn't think Anktann could really be left alone. "The Great Human Alliance" sounds sour, but it's not wrong. No matter how many disputes there have been between two countries, at such times, they are one...... It must also be one.

He still has a lot of questions to ask, and he doesn't know where to start, especially when faced with this dragon who says that if you're not happy, you won't be happy, and if you don't care, you won't pay attention to you, instead of Ed Singer, who is sincere and cute and has to answer all questions.

"Didn't Ed come?" he couldn't help but ask.

"Do I have to stick with him?" replied Is, impatiently.

Borena silently glanced back at Rosa - who said that this dragon's temper has gotten a lot better?!

Rosa could only smile wryly.

From start to finish, Borena didn't give Eli a second look. The last bit of nostalgia he had for him, his old friendship, was gone, and he couldn't relent a little more to get some useful news from this paranoid fellow.

"What are your plans?" he asked, "Eli Croefler is not a man who will succumb to torture. And I've heard that once he is overly injured, he will be carried away by a stronger force. ”

"'Torture' is not necessarily limited to the flesh. Nigel was so straight that his tone didn't even fluctuate, and there was a cold air in his reply, "He was once regarded as a knight...... Cultivated as the heir to the family, he was able to endure pain. But when he became what he is, it was obvious that his will could easily be broken. ”

"What if his 'easily defeated' will was also connected to another force?" Iss asked.

Eli's mark on her forehead disappeared before it was fully visible when she was stabbed by Rosa...... There was a sense of familiarity that he didn't want to admit.

"There are many ways to 'hurt'. Nigel replied, "At least for now, he's in our hands, isn't he?"

“...... It feels like a necromancer's trick. Borena was also in a flat tone, and spread his hands again when Nigel looked over: "Don't get me wrong, I don't have any opinions. ”

He hated necromancers, and he really didn't have any opinions...... It's just that I didn't put up with this sentence in the end.
