"How much does she know?"

Iss asked softly as he looked at Selene Gray's back.

They quietly left the small living room and stood under the heavy curtain in the corner of the hallway, where the ancestors of the Greon family stared coldly at them from their portraits...... And they can easily see people coming from any direction.

Mrs. Greion smiled and walked away after a casual conversation with them, obviously knowing what they had to say. Isis was completely unconscious on the day he arrived, and the next morning he followed Eren to the Enshi Valley, where he didn't know much about the countess.

"At least...... She should know you're a dragon, but she's obviously going to pretend she doesn't, so be it. Alan also looked at Selene's back and walked away, "It's no secret that Alan Cavo raised a dragon, she's a smart woman, and it's easy to guess. ”

“...... Then it's likely that someone will know that we're here, too. Isis said with some trepidation, knowing that there were people behind him who were chasing after him, and he didn't want to cause trouble for the people here.

Alan nodded: "We will leave as soon as possible." And also...... Novi found traces of recent human presence in the ruins of a nearby elven fortress, and it had been carefully cleaned...... He feared it was a necromancer. They probably have eyes and ears in Llewellyn as well, so we have to be more careful. And, I think we have news from Scott. ”

Is's eyes widened in surprise: "You found him, where is he?"

He completely ignored the necromancer.

Alan smiled helplessly: "It's just that there is news about him." Is...... At least one thing is certain, he is indeed in Llewellyn. ”

These days he didn't just stay in the castle and watch his daughter clumsily learn to dance, and he used his eyes to warn the dark-haired little bastard not to get too close. He got the news from a friend of Llewellyn. A few nights ago, someone had broken into the Black Castle and was almost close to entering the King's bedchamber, only to suddenly disappear like a ghost when they were discovered.

"They said the man had blonde hair...... Almost half of the men in Anktann are blonde, but I think that should be Scott. ”

"That must be!" Is, not knowing whether to be happy or angry, warned Scott not to use teleportation at will, but he apparently didn't listen to him. "The order to hunt down the priests and believers of Nesses was given by the king of Anktan, who probably wanted to go straight to him......"

"It's the same as before. Alan sighed involuntarily. "Scott is not stupid, he always has his own plans, but if no one is looking at him, there is a good chance that his plans will be ruined by his impulsiveness and recklessness. ”

Isis nodded sympathetically. Especially now, Scott is probably more difficult to control himself than before, and his power is ......

"But there has been no news since. "Llewellyn also has the temple of Anduch, which is another place where he might go." There are people on both sides of the temple and the Black Castle to keep an eye on me, and if he reappears, we'll soon find out. ”

“...... The disappearance of the priest doesn't necessarily have something to do with him!"

Alan looked at him and whispered, "They're outside Balach...... Nigel Lowe's ring was found near the abandoned mine, the metal twisted. The gem also cracked...... They suspected it had been destroyed by a spell like the Fireball Technique, but the Fireball Technique didn't have such a high temperature. ”

He digs up a lot of news from the unsuspecting Ed, one of which is when Ed, along with Scott and the half-elves, returns to the camp of the Benlu tribe with the smaller Is. That strange fire in the grove halfway through.

Ed was impressed by the scorching temperature and the ashes that covered the floor, but he had always thought it was from some monster called the Snow Beast.

Eren knew that the Snow Beast couldn't breathe fire, and Norway couldn't spell.

Considering the strange fire in Charlene's Tomb in Dumbbutch, he had to suspect it had something to do with Scott.

Iss was silent, and Eren was helpless about it.

"I just want to help him. Is, you know that, right?"

“...... He can indeed manipulate fire. It's like the breath of a dragon. It took a long time for Isis to bow his head. Whispered, "But I don't know...... I don't think he could figure it out himself...... He said he was a priest, but apparently no one taught him spells, and the way he learned them was like a dragon, relying on what was in his head...... I can't tell, and he won't tell me!"

There is a bit of grievance and anger in the last sentence: "He can't control his power at all, and then he gradually can't even control his emotions...... He's not like him anymore, but I know that's him......"

The young man's voice faded into thin air.

"We'll find him, Is. Alan patted him lightly on the shoulder and whispered reassurance, "We'll find him." ”

"Can I get into Llewellyn?" Is, looking at him pleadingly, "I'll be careful. I learned something in Enshiya...... I can control myself. ”

His gaze made it completely impossible for Alan to refuse.

"Of course you have to go to Llewellyn. He smiled and replied, "Even if you can't sneak into the Black Castle with us, there's going to be a big festival in Trine Square, and I don't want you to miss that." ”

After a moment of surprise, Iss laughed. His smile was still as simple as a child's...... That made Allen's heart ache.

"Is...... About Naria...... "He spoke a little hard, fearing that if he didn't say it now, it would be even more difficult in the future.

But Iss interrupted him.

"Naria is my sister, and always will be. He smiled, albeit reluctantly, with an indescribable calmness and calmness in Allen, "Just like you will always be my father, Scott will always be my brother, and Ed will always be my friend...... Isn't that a bit weird?"

- He can still joke about this, maybe he thinks too much.

Alan breathed a sigh of relief and hugged the child who had indeed grown up.

"Nope. It's not surprising at all!"

He didn't see Is's eyes darkening suddenly.

Early in the morning of Trini's Day, Naria, who was still practicing her dance steps even while walking, received a pleasant surprise news from Isis and Akan. Mrs. Céline Greon would also go with them to Llewellyn and attend a dinner at Black Castle.

"You convinced her!" Naria hugged her father in a happy hug and almost jumped.

"No, you convinced her. Alan smiled and patted her daughter on the back as she ran to her friends to share the good news with them.

"So. Am I the only one who can't go?" Tess wailed, "I want to burn the little man on the fire, too." Burn all the bad luck of the whole year!"

"You don't have to stay with me at Limestone Fort. Norway said with a smile. He fears that his pointed ears will cause a riot if they are found in the crowd, and he does not plan to go to the Trine Festival.

"I'm not going to let you sit here alone and watch a little fire. Tess said with a snort.

Limestone Castle also has a bonfire to celebrate Trine Day, but the size of it certainly can't compare to Llewellyn's.

Isis hesitated for a moment. Went to Norvi.

"I don't know if it's going to work...... "He muttered to himself like an elf, and whispered a spell, a sonorous rhythm that Norway had heard from Scott's mouth.

He instinctively wanted to back away for a moment, but he controlled himself perfectly, and even the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

He couldn't tell what it felt - or that it didn't have time to feel at all, but Tess was jumping up with cheer.

"You lost his ears!"

Norway was stunned and reached out and touched his ear, and the graceful and beautiful tip was gone—there was no such thing. No one could tell that he was an elf.

"Oh...... You've changed his face too. Tess stared at the elf's face with a complicated expression, "He looked ...... Kind of like your brother. ”

Almost everyone gathered around. Staring curiously at Norvi's face.

"It's a bit like Scott, indeed. Ed said. The elf's jaw has changed a little, his eyes have turned light blue, and his hair has not changed...... He looked like a thinner, longer-haired, and more handsome Scott Christus.

“...... He's going to be able to change back, right? Nothing else, but I still prefer his old face. Tess pursed.

Iss blushed slightly. He didn't expect it to turn out like this......

"You can change back now. He said, ready to try again. But Norway stopped him with a smile.

"So be it. He said, "I guess that's time-sensitive, too?"

Iss nodded.

"Then there's no need to bother...... You've learned the art of Transfiguration?" the elf asked, a little surprised, remembering his frustration at the little Isis on the ice field who couldn't change back.

"Hmm. Is's simple answer was tinged with pride: "I can also learn." ”

Norway felt as if the sentence was not meant to him.

But, in short-

"Everyone's happy!!" Tess happily dragged Naria to dance, "we can all go burn the little man!"

"Iss!" Ed excitedly leaned over to his friend, "what other spells do you have?"

The strange estrangement between them seemed to disappear again.

"Transfiguration. "And ...... related to snow and ice."

He let a small storm rise from his fingertips, and a few snowflakes fell in front of Ed's eyes.

Askan reached out curiously to grab it, and the snowflakes quickly melted at his fingertips, causing the big man to laugh for some reason.

Isis couldn't help but smile. Everyone here knows who he is...... What he was, but they weren't afraid, they didn't look at him strangely, and he could be himself completely - an ice dragon raised by humans, with two different forms that also belonged to him.

It was so beautiful that he couldn't believe it.

"Speaking of which, I still prefer Rutger's name. Tess said in a cheerful voice, "Spring Hope." I'm almost ready to see spring!

"Me too. Naria smiled heartily in agreement, "Me too!".
