Chapter 817: Ripples (Part II)
Is's eyebrows curled dangerously—he couldn't have been satisfied with such an answer...... Besides, he didn't even throw that stone into the lake. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I can't trace its origins to you, there are too many secrets that have been obscure......" the old spotted leaf dragon explained in a long time.
“...... You might as well just say you don't know. Isis said.
Ye Ying smiled.
"Even I don't know everything. He admits that no longer using an overly long prelude to wear down the pitiful patience of a young ice dragon, "As you can see, this thing shouldn't have existed." It combines the dragon bone and the word of the gods...... Whoever created it was either too powerful to care, or he was a madman. Maybe you just need to know that its last real owner was Ankeland's father...... The hapless elven mage used it to perform miracles that are said to be the only gods can do - he created life. I guess you can think of it as some kind of ...... 'artifact'. Its power is unquestionable...... Especially after injecting enough power, of course, it also poses great dangers. But in any case, at least between you and me, it has chosen you...... Maybe you should be proud of it. ”
Iss frowned slightly—he didn't like to be "chosen" at all.
"Don't worry. Ye Ying easily saw through his doubts, "It won't control you, it will only obey you, like your cold spitting...... Manipulated by you like your wings. ”
"And you, or Ankland, were so kind enough to give it to me?" Eth instinctively couldn't believe it. If this thing is really that great...... Why didn't the old guy want it to look like in the slightest, but obviously avoided it?
“...... You should really learn how to listen to people well. Ye Ying couldn't help but sigh, "I said, 'It chose you'...... Is there a word you don't understand? Do I need to switch to the lingua franca of humanity?"
Is's face unconsciously warmed a little, but he was still skeptical.
"If you can't trust me, maybe try to trust your feelings. Ye Ying said.
Iss was silent. The broken bone was quietly hidden in the palm of his hand, and he knew that at least one thing, Ye Ying wasn't lying—it didn't try to control it, just like the Sword of Acton that still had a strong will left with only the hilt left.
He can throw it away at any time...... Because of this, he hesitated.
This may be another form of demagogy. But there's no reason for him to throw something out of the door - they can always figure out what it is.
"How do you use this?" he asked bluntly.
"When you need it...... You'll see. The old spotted dragon's smile was almost kind, "'like your wings' - if you have more questions, ask your friend, I think he probably already knows more...... Maybe a little too much?"
.
Iss had already rushed over Ed when he appeared out of thin air a few steps away. And he had to admit that the fool looked like he was "knowing too much" and had indigestion.
“...... Hey. ”
Ed didn't grin until he rushed in front of him, "...... I'm back. ”
Iss glared at him angrily, and finally put down the hand he raised. He kind of understood why Narya was so fond of slapping him on the back of the head, and some people just did...... It makes people want to slap it uncontrollably.
As if sensing something, Ed instinctively shrunk his neck, but still remembered nodding to Ye Ying very politely - it was more like a subconscious action.
Then his eyes widened.
“...... You're the dragon!" he said.
"I am. Ye Ying looked at him with interest, "I hope you have explained my 'disappearance' to Lord Xiu'an well...... It was probably hard for him to accept that the old Mesh, whom he had known for decades, was actually a dragon. ”
"Lord Xiu'an...... Passed away. Ed's voice lowered.
“...... Is that ......" "Old Messh" murmured, a faint flicker of loss in his eyes. As a human being, this life is only as short as a dream in his long life, but it is not without leaving any traces.
"I think it's time for me to take my leave. After a moment of silence, the old spotted leaf dragon spoke calmly, "I don't think you need me anymore...... Maybe until I die, it's better not to need it anymore. An old bone like me can't stand the toss anymore. ”
"We didn't pull you in. Iss said angrily, "If you don't like it, why do you want to bring it in yourself?"
"yes...... Why?" the old spotted leaf dragon smiled. He nodded to them, bent slightly, shuffling away like a real, old and frail human being.
“...... Why is he here?"
After a long while, Ed asked, a little dazed.
Isis thought for a moment, and suddenly threw the broken bone over.
Ed quickly reached out to catch it, and nearly dropped it to the ground when he saw what it was.
"How could this thing be with you!" he shouted.
"How do you feel?" Iss stared at him.
"What does it feel?" Ed wondered, "this thing used to burrow into Tyliner's hand like a blood-sucking worm...... It's disgusting to death, okay?!"
He picked up the thing between his two fingers in disgust, his eyes growing puzzled.
“...... It's not that piece, is it?" he said, "and it feels like ...... It's not at all. ”
He took a closer look and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not that piece, the symbols on it are different!"
The corners of Is's mouth twitched, and he snatched it back.
"We'll come back to that later. He said, "You...... See him?"
Ed nodded, his expression complicated.
"We'd better get out of here first. He said, "This place tickles my whole body......
He took a step forward, but for a moment he suddenly lost his balance and staggered as if he were about to fall to the ground.
He could feel Iss grab his arm, and he instinctively reached out to shake it back, otherwise...... He felt as if he was going to be swept away.
was swept to an unknown corner by the torrent of time...... Just like Keller Brian.
Anclan claims that he hasn't changed anything that has ever happened, but apparently something has changed - otherwise why would he need to do more?
Perhaps just a faint ripple on the surface of the water is not enough to change the direction of the flowing water...... But it is enough to change the fate of a fallen leaf on the water.
But he can't get out of here, not now...... He can't just be a fallen leaf.
