It was only after night that they flew back to Stonebutch from Christenburg. Under the starry sky, the earth was dark and quiet, and nothing could be seen clearly, except for the faint glimmer of the Vinez River, like a galaxy in the sky.

In the boundless night, the lights of Visa, which was noisy even at night, looked faint and weak, as if they would be swallowed up by the darkness that surrounded it in the blink of an eye.

Ed looked down at the hazy light on the ground as it quickly disappeared from view, and a sudden uneasiness swelled up in his heart.

Blurry images pass through my mind. He vaguely remembered that he turned into a breeze and swept through the beneath of Rockburg across almost the entire continent, finally stopping at Whitestone Island, where he involuntarily circled in many places along the way. There were places he knew well, places he had never been to...... He hovered because of the irresistible attraction to those places – they sparkled in his "eyes" like dew on the tips of grass and stars in the sky.

Stamp Butch, who seems to hide all the answers, is just one of them.

Human beings are so small. Many people may never leave the town or village where they were born – a small, insignificant point on the map is already their entire world.

But for a dragon that can almost cross the entire continent in just one night, a city that can accommodate nearly 10,000 people is just a small spark in the night.

They see the world differently.

He opened his mouth to ask Is, but he didn't know where to start—he had only a vague thought, but he couldn't throw it away anyway.

“...... Is!"

He leaned forward and asked his friend in a loud voice, "Can we go to another place first?"

.

Countless cities and villages are scattered along the banks of the Vinez River, hidden in the mountains and dense forests. Humans seem to be better at adapting to any kind of survival environment than any other race, using everything they can use around them to survive tenaciously.

Their footprints are almost all over the continent...... But on the west side of the Vinez River, in the middle plain of abundant water and grass, there is a vast expanse of land, which is more untouched than the barren and arid southwestern wilderness.

“...... Why are you here?"

The ice dragon circled in mid-air for half a circle, not wanting to fall for a long time.

"Is there anything wrong here?" Ed asked, apprehensively and expectantly, "Do you feel anything?"

The ice dragon was silent and did not answer.

"What the hell is this place?" Narya looked down curiously, trying to keep her eyes open to see the empty meadow, "there's nothing here." ”

When she hit the ground, she shivered involuntarily—not cold, but something chilling hidden in the deep darkness, silently and invisibly surrounding her, penetrating into her skin and soul...... Let her hair stand on end in an instant.

"This is Alamit. The ice dragon replied in a low voice, "Where the dragon has fallen." ”

The land was once soaked in the blood of dragons. Even after thousands of years, it still seems to be able to hear the unwilling roar of thunder in the night wind, and feel the anger and hatred of those ancient and broken souls that refuse to disperse.

Ed was stunned.

“...... I'm sorry. He said, "I don't know ......."

He didn't really know what the hell it was.

"Then why do you have to come here in the middle of the night?" Narya glared at him angrily, "Looking for ghosts?"

Ed smiled wryly, explaining to them the strange experience he had a few days ago.

"Here is one of them. He said, "And just along the way......

Although he no longer felt that inexplicable attraction, and could not see anything from the darkness, this place was still special—under the starlight, the air was clear and clear, but it was heavy and chaotic, as if there were countless undercurrents surging.

"This is a land of magic," the ice dragon told him, "like the plains of Collins." But because of that big war, it became very chaotic...... and danger. ”

Even after the victory, the elves of Alammy had to leave after more than a hundred years because their souls were getting weaker...... Because they wander in nightmares every night.

The elves may not want to admit that this city, which has witnessed its glory, has become a veritable cursed land. It was a curse laid down by countless dragons with their last lives, and it was so deep in every speck of dust that no amount of divine brilliance could dispel it.

"But ......," said Ed, "it's still a great force, isn't it?"

“...... Yes. The ice dragon replied, "Although I don't think anyone can manipulate such power...... What do you think of?"

"I'm not sure......," Ed hesitated, "I just thought maybe we were focusing too much on Stonebug...... It's important, but is it the only thing that matters?"

“...... Where else is the 'way'?" the ice dragon raised its wings, "It's okay if it's not too good." I also know a few places......"

"Do you want to save the world tonight?" Naria couldn't help but roll her eyes, "It's so dark and unprepared, you don't even know what you're looking for, what useful things do you expect to find......?" It's always so whimful and unplanned, no wonder it's no wonder that it's always headless and brainless. ”

The one person and one dragon who were unceremoniously counted down silently bowed their heads.

"Let's go back to Ston Butch first. Naria clapped her hands and made a decision.

Ed obediently climbed back to the ice dragon's neck, and no one dared to object.

Until the silver-white dragon turned into a tiny glimmer of light like stars in the night sky, the dark earth fell silent again, and in the lush forest at the edge of the meadow, a pair of cat-like green eyes withdrew their gaze and drooped thoughtfully to the ground.

The runes that Anclan had drawn on the grass were gone. They still exist, but they shouldn't have been discovered before it all began.

The little ones didn't look like they had discovered anything...... So, why on earth did they suddenly come to this place that has been forgotten for thousands of years?

Lydia Bell shook her head at herself, slightly annoyed. She didn't dare to come closer, she didn't dare to cast a spell in a hurry—Is's senses were extremely acute, and she couldn't be detected at the moment.

She couldn't hear what they were saying...... For some reason, this made her extremely uneasy.

But after a moment, she smiled slightly.

It was a kind of self-deprecating smile. The closer you get to the end, the more you gain and lose...... She knew there were many ways to find out why they were here.

She's just such a swayable human being.
