Iss frowned.

He didn't remember anything like that. It is true that the dragons have tried in every possible way to defeat the gods, both in the open and in the open, and in all kinds of despicable schemes...... But in fact, when they began to realize how the gods had changed the original rules of this world, it was after the Battle of Alamit, the dragons were defeated again and again, and the few living were hiding everywhere, even if they were too proud to admit it, they were just surviving, and they had no ability to resist at all.

Until now...... He was the only one left.

But what he inherited was nothing more than the memories of his ancestors. If a dragon had ever been reluctant to make such an attempt, he might not necessarily know.

But when he noticed the gaze that Laval had crossed his face, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and when he looked up into his eyes, he suddenly realized that the high priest of the god of the mountains was not telling the truth that he had learned out of nowhere...... It's more like a temptation.

This is not surprising. But the suspicion that he often chose to ignore with anger and helplessness was extremely unbearable at the moment.

"You doubt me. He said, a sneer on his lips, "You suspect I'm helping Scott." ”

His voice was soft and low, with a careless contempt, cold enough to frighten Ed.

"That's true...... It's a guess. ”

Laval frankly admitted.

Ed looked at his friend uneasily, relieved when he caught the vague anger and bitterness in his eyes, but was ashamed of his own peace of mind.

No matter what Isis does, it seems that he can never be trusted.

"It's not fair!" said Ed.

Laval was an elder he respected, but he shouldn't have treated his friend like this. But before this sentence could be spoken, Isis had already blocked back:

"So what?"

He looked around at the crowd. At this moment, there is no one in his eyes, his adoptive father, his friend...... There is only a lone dragon here, facing the most cunning creatures of the gods, which can never coexist.

"Is......" Ed's low voice had a hint of pleading.

"The world has had its own rules since its inception. Isis looked away, "All things die and die from Si, and the cycle of power is endless...... It has its own balance, and it's your god who is really destroying it, and now even if I want to get everything back to the beginning, what's wrong? Of course, you're going to lose the power you have, and it's not easy to find another source again, that's what you're really worried about, right?"

His undisguised mockery did not make Laval lose his composure and composure. The old man looked at him and shook his head.

"The world once belonged to you. He said, "I understand your resentment. If it's just 'loss of power'...... After the gods are gone, it will come true sooner or later. No, what I'm afraid of, not this, but the loss of freedom, the most precious gift that the gods have given to humanity. ”

"You call what you have now 'freedom'?" Iss asked dismissively.

"Yes...... Our faith may seem ridiculous to you, but at the very least, people can choose what they believe in or they can choose to believe nothing...... And at least while they're alive, no one will be punished for it. ”

"'The only place for the unbelievers is hell.'" Isis sneered, "So this is not a punishment for humans?"

"We're different from you. Laval looked at him calmly, "The breath of the gods gave us birth, and we are indeed protected by the gods to survive until now, is it not a matter of course to pay some price?" ”

Isis fell silent. And they do...... It's inherently different.

"If all Scott does is break the rules set by the gods and get everything back to square one, that's fine. Laval lowered his eyes, "Even without magic, humans can work miracles...... We always survive. But he bears the name of a saint...... He had a god of his own. If what he wants is for him to be the one he believes in, to be a unique, supreme being, to rule over everything with absolute power, and not to allow any transgression, and we have no choice and no power to resist...... That's real hell. ”

"That's exactly what Scott was worried about!" Ed finally said, "He's done exactly to prevent a catastrophe like this." ”

"Really?" Laval looked at him calmly, "so you know exactly what he's doing?"

Edsser, in fact, is not so clear.

"So, how can you be sure of that?" Laval sighed, "I know that Scott Krisses was once an upright and brave paladin, and I know that he experienced terrible betrayal and death...... Tell me, son, what is there to guarantee that Scott, who has returned from the darkness, will still have light in his heart, except for your love and trust in him?"

“...... But you can't guarantee that even his soul has been consumed by darkness. Borena pointed out very objectively.

"Yes, I can't. "That's exactly the problem, and no one knows what he's really about." ”

Ed stopped talking. For a moment he was impulsive to tell everyone everything he knew, starting with the ancient flame dragon...... Then he realized it wasn't going to be of much use.

As Laval said, "whatever it is" it doesn't matter whether Nethers is a fiery dragon trying to become the supreme god or an ancient god sleeping in the sea of nothingness. Even if he told them that the only way to destroy Nether was to drag him into the world...... That's what Scott told him, too.

Alan had apparently spoken to Laval. And when it comes down to Scott...... Before leaving, Alan had made it clear that even he couldn't fully trust Scott now, even though they had been partners in life and death, and Scott almost regarded him as a brother.

"So what do you want?" asked Iss coldly.

"It's simple. Laval replied, "Stop him...... Whatever it takes. ”

Ed's heart sank suddenly, and he heard ominous meaning in this simple sentence.

Is's eyes narrowed dangerously, but Borena smiled.

"You choose what you say in front of someone who is most unlikely to hurt Scott in the world...... Probably not including the simple and crude method of 'killing Scott?'" he said, "Just tell me what the plan is, my lord." ”

"Agreed. Ogromu nodded expressionlessly, "After all, it seems that you are clearly the one of us who knows the most about it all. ”
