"Where are you going?"

Early the next morning, Norway asked the young man, who seemed to be preparing to leave alone.

"Why did you come to the Forest of Sorrows?" Tess asked curiously, swallowing the phrase "Are you following us?"

The young man named Ace was tucking his loose blonde hair back into his hood without looking at her.

"I thought only mad elves would come here. Tess muttered to herself briskly, elven potions were always quite effective, and after a good night's sleep, she was the lively girl again. "By the way, have you ever seen anything like a city ruin in the woods, except for the roots and rabbits that are as crazy as the elves?

"Tess!"

"What?" Tess glared at Norvi, "I didn't say anything!"

"Are you looking for Ankeland?" Ace asked suddenly.

The elf's pupils contracted suddenly.

"Where did you know that name?" he carefully worded.

"There is only one city in this forest, and it belongs to an unrecognized elven kingdom. Ace replied, "The last thing you should be looking for is the elves, do your people know what you're doing?"

"Hey, what does that have to do with you?" exclaimed Tess dissatisfied.

"They don't know. They had never even heard of such a forgotten country. Norway stared into Ace's eyes, "Why would a human know that name? Humans didn't even have a language of their own when the grass grew on its walls. ”

"And how do you know it exists? It doesn't appear in the elven history books, and no living person will tell its story. ”

The elf bowed his head in contemplation. How much can he trust him, and how much can he tell him?

"I was in the dwarves' ...... There is only a quote in a certain book about an elven kingdom established in the dark and destroyed by a curse, which existed in a forest south of the mountains and north of the lake for a very short time. ”

Ace's young face showed genuine curiosity: "I've never heard of an elf who would trust dwarven accounts so much. ”

"I did think it was just a history made up by the dwarves, until I got it. Norway pulled out the silver coin that Ed Singal had given him, not ignoring the surprise that passed in Ace's eyes, and the warmth of a trance, but covered in frost in an instant.

"I checked many times...... It's thousands of years old, but I'm not sure if it's just an old joke. ”

"Where did you get this?" Ace asked.

"A gift from a friend, from another friend of his. Norway didn't say Ed's name.

Ace read out the inscriptions on the silver coin, and they were clearly engraved in his mind.

"Finally free, Ankland, 025. ”

It was very old Elvish, but Norway could understand it.

"The handwriting was so rusty that I did some work, but I could only see 'Ankeland' and 'Zero Twenty-Five'. "And you can be so sure...... Have you seen the same thing anywhere else?"

Ace didn't answer, some ancient history and knowledge were in his mind, they were like books spread out in front of him, ready to be consulted, just like he could use the power of magic flowing in his blood to cast spells related to ice and snow at any time, without having to memorize them, and without having to use materials and chant incantations like mages.

But he obviously couldn't explain this to the elves, so he had to ignore it. He flipped the coin to the other side, the shape of an equally blurry, illegible animal.

“...... Dragon. He said.

Nia gave him the silver coin as a small birthday present, he didn't think it was anything special at first, and he never cared what the vague animal was, so he gave it to Ed because of the elven head on the other side.

He hadn't remembered it for three years, and only now did he realize that the little thief had known him all along. He didn't know if he had denied the animal on the back of the coin, whether he had given him this random act of inadvertence, or some subtle irony.

That made his mood inexplicably irritable. All the memories of being human reminded him of those deceptions and shames over and over again. And he couldn't simply wipe them all out. Scott, Allen, Niah, Naria......

Nalya and Ed, they may not have deceived him, but so what? What happened doesn't change - he's a dragon, and he can only be a dragon.

The elf sensed Ace's unexplained anger, and he tensed his nerves and was secretly vigilant, until indifference once again replaced everything like ice crystals.

"Are you sure? I thought it was a fairy dragon. He asked cautiously.

"One of the evils of the cursed elven kingdom is to make an alliance with a young and evil red dragon, and I guess the dwarven history books are afraid to record this heinous act. Ace's face was expressionless, but there was a sarcastic thorn in his words, "Even if it really existed, why did you look for it?"

"I just want to make sure it really exists, and that would be a wake-up call to make sure we don't make the same mistake again. ”

"It did. ”

"And where do you know?"

"I can take you to find it. Ace said lightly.

"Oh, thank you so much, but we have the map. Tess couldn't help but interject. They did have a map of the Weeping Forest, with no city ruins marked in it.

But she didn't believe in this guy who came out of nowhere.

"No map will take you into Ankland, and even if it's marked in the right place, when you get there, you'll only see a wood, no different from the surroundings. ”

"Speak like you've been. Tess said.

The strange young man was unexpectedly choked by the words.

"I didn't. "But I know how to find it." ”

"And we should trust you and follow you obediently?" Tess couldn't guess what the purpose of this "mage who wasn't a mage" was, he obviously didn't want their lives, otherwise he wouldn't need to save them, and if he just wanted to lure them somewhere, his skills were too lame.

Ace glanced at her, and the sudden extremely cold light blue eyes made her heart tremble, and her hair stood on end in an instant.

"You don't have to believe me. He said coldly.

"I believe it. "Can we get there on foot?" I am afraid we don't have enough horses. He was so calm that he said, "Shall you eat carrots at noon today? I'm afraid we don't have any meat." ”

It took a while for Ace to nod.

"Yes. He said coldly, still unhappy.

But this time, her gut told Tess that it wasn't her business.
