Ed didn't expect any miracles from the sky - most of the things that fell from the sky were disasters, except for his flying friends. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He can accept this. He could also accept that Felicity was not some omnipotent sage, and occasionally became as confused and depressed as he was. He could even accept Labai's deception...... That's inconsequential. What he could not accept was Felicity's whimsical "proposal".

The idea exploded in his head like a thunderbolt, making him dizzy until now. He didn't think it would work...... Of course, it couldn't have succeeded!, but at this moment, staring at the language on the scroll that he still didn't recognize, there was a chill in his heart.

He felt that he might not have a choice.

He had apparently made other attempts, and the secret hidden in the scroll had already told him the result.

What kind of tragic defeat did he go through hundreds of years ago, and under what desperate circumstances, he left such a warning that he knew he would never be able to do?

“...... So, what do you want to do?"

Is's voice rang in his ears indistinctly.

"I want to ......" Ed shook his head, slurring, "I think...... Maybe you can try ......"

“...... Try a fart!" Is's thunderous outburst as he expected, casually smashing the scroll he had just picked up over his face, "Look at yourself, how can you possibly do it!"

It sounds like an insult...... But Ed knew it was out of sheer apprehension and concern.

"Or else?" he calmly pulled down the scroll hanging from his head, "I've told you everything...... I still want to believe that Niah will never kill Scott...... That's a bit of a crazy plan, but if Felicity says that, maybe ......"

"No 'maybe'!" Ise interrupted him angrily, "No way, I don't agree, don't even think about it!-that's not madness, that's death-seeking!If she can't do it herself, why should she send her to death?!And this thing......"

He tore the scroll and threw it aside: "This thing is probably a forgery at all!"

The torn scroll made a sigh-like soft sound. Ed was silent, he couldn't convince his friend when he couldn't even hesitate.

In the midst of a brief silence, a dull crashing sound, accompanied by Naria's angry scolding, faintly came from outside the closed door, which no one cared about.

“...... Are they underground?" said Is, tilting his head suspiciously.

After a moment of surprise, Ed jumped up from the ground.

He remembered what was hidden in the basement.

.

With a slight touch of her toes against the wall, Fenvi flew into the air, and a cold light flashed between her fingers, knocking out another foe.

Tai unnecessarily kicked the man in the waist that wouldn't hit her, causing him to die even further, and admitted a little dejectedly that the Shadow Dancer who had hunted them down was just a few clicks...... It's really pretty impressive.

At least, he was really ruthless.

But her elf, even when transformed into a mongoose, is still brave and agile, though it seems to have forgotten that as a mongoose, his weapons are more than sharp claws...... And a mouthful of small fangs.

The meerkat's heroic fighting posture made her want to stuff a sword into its claws...... But it's probably ungraspable.

Laughing and worried, the absent-minded Tess had little combat power at all - and she didn't seem to have to do anything.

"At least one stay alive!"

Naria cried out helplessly. The mongoose leaped from the empty barrel and managed to jump onto Fenway's arm.

The elf froze, and his right hand stopped in mid-air. The foe who had survived his razor-sharp dagger retreated in disarray, and Tess flicked a knife out without a sound, stabbing it precisely into the crook of his leg.

The man fell to the ground and, realizing that he had no chance of escaping, did not hesitate to stab his slender dagger into his throat.

The dagger was kicked away by Fenway the moment it touched the skin, and the next kick was firmly in his head. The man rolled his eyes and collapsed silently on the ground.

“...... Not dead. Fenvi looked at the mongoose still in his arms, and assured him very seriously.

"You're late. Tess lazily waved to Ed and Is, who were rushing down the stairs, "It's all settled." ”

Ed's gaze swept over the corpses on the ground, his face pale.

"How did they get in?" he murmured.

There were two doors in the basement, one that had been completely sealed by him, and the other that led to the ground. The living room without going through the ground floor is simply inaccessible.

"There's a mage. Finnway explained to him softly, "There's a door open there." ”

Ed's face turned whiter—the elf was pointing in the direction of the coffin.

He rushed over to take a look, and his pale face began to turn blue.

The coffin was empty.

He looked up blankly, and Tess shrugged at him in his stunned gaze.

"It was empty when we came in. She said.

“...... I'm sorry. Fenway's voice lowered, "she was taken away...... I couldn't stop it. ”

Ed shook his head. It's certainly not the elves' fault. But he had already set up a defense...... Or it could be called a trap, and if you want to use a spell to teleport anywhere in the house, even the underground of the courtyard, you will be deflected - a small deviation can even be fatal for teleportation that requires extreme precision.

It's not that he has a lot of faith in his spells...... It was Nia's idea, but the method was approved of by both Brooke and Scott......

"Don't trust Nia. ”

The warning, which he couldn't make out even if he saw it with his own eyes, jumped out of his head uncontrollably.

"Could it be Sean who did it?" Narya couldn't help but ask bluntly.

She still haunts the fact that Bloomer was snatched away, and Sean has always been one of their suspicions.

Ed shook his head, but he didn't deny it. He didn't know...... His mind was in a mess. Did Sean give up on his plans? He didn't even bother to confirm this.

Isis is right...... How could he possibly do it?

“...... Never mind. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, "It's okay. ”

He could find her—he didn't tell anyone...... That's just another guarantee that is set up casually because of a moment of unease.

He had to ...... as soon as possible But I couldn't help but feel fear.

He didn't know where that would take him. He wasn't afraid of any traps or fights, he just feared that the warnings he was trying to ignore would turn into an unchangeable reality before his eyes.
