"I don't know. Ed replied calmly, "I tell you this because I believe you can use it in the best way possible...... I believe you can do what I can't. ”

Balk was stunned, a little uneasy.

It was quite interesting to tease this somewhat naïve young man, but to be so serious and frank, full of trust, and even a little adoring to look at it, some small, innocuous bad ideas were like bubbles that bubbled up at the bottom of the water, and burst before they even surfaced.

He let go of the impeccable smile on his face. It's a pleasure to be able to face each other without pretense...... It had been a long time since he had felt such ease.

"How much do you think the people who are here today know everything you say?" he asked.

"I just told Mock during the break. Ed replied, "The dwarves can feel the gods gone, but they ...... At least the dwarves of Morin Hall were unaware of the existence of Blazing Wings. The Black Rock Dwarves have sealed their mines, which are the oldest settlements of the Dwarves, and I doubt they know anything, but everything is buried beneath the rocks......"

He stopped, looking at the dwarf.

"Maybe not yet. "The three emissaries from Black Rock are heading south by boat, and their destination is supposed to be Usain Bolt. If you can find them......"

Balk nodded knowingly.

"I do have news of them. "They didn't go directly to the Southwest Mountains...... Instead, they entered Grivar. The elves have been very wary lately, and I can't get any more information, but these three dwarves will not enter the elven territory in order to start a war. ”

"I can go and ask the Silver Leaf King. Ed understood.

"And," he continued, "among the elves, the Silver Leaf King and the Elders probably know more than I do, and Anclan and Blazing Wing are the secrets they tried so hard to bury but had to leave behind as a warning to future generations. Sean also knew that Felicity had been suspicious for a long time. As for the mage, I think the information that the three founders of the ** Master Tower have is not much different from Felicity, after all, they used to act together...... But even if they leave any records, they may be very vague, because the current successors of the ** Shita do not know much about it. ”

"It's also possible that what they left behind didn't fall into the hands of the people who should have owned them. Balk chuckled softly, "The person who can really control the ** division tower died too early, Santo the Stone Shaper has enough strength, but he is really not a competent administrator, after even he died, that place will be more chaotic and dark than the court of any country for a long time...... And now, when four of the five towers are destroyed, many questions may never be answered again, but for the ** division tower, it may not be a new opportunity. ”

“...... You know everything. Ed duly sent a sincere sigh of emotion.

Balk was a little speechless. This sentence sounds completely flattering, but with the full sincerity in the young man's shining blue eyes, it is irresistibly pleasant.

He really enjoyed it...... Why can't he enjoy it?

Mistress Balk, who wanted to open it, even touched the head of this lovely young man with a smile, like a kind old grandfather facing his well-behaved and lovely grandson.

"Why do you think I'm letting everyone get together?" he asked.

“...... See how everyone will react?" Ed replied cautiously, "to speculate what they know and what they are for?"

Balk nodded.

"When you have a certain amount of information, it's very interesting to see them test each other. "Sometimes they don't need to say anything practical...... A look, an unconscious little movement, is enough to prove a lot of things. What if I told you that what you know, they actually know everything, and they all have their own reliance...... They have no fear of the impending catastrophe, and they can spend a little more energy to see if they can get the most out of it...... Can you believe it?"

Ed's eyes widened, and after a moment of surprise, his heart was full of joy.

"Really?!" he asked stupidly, his eyebrows rising involuntarily.

“...... You think that's something to be happy about?" Balk couldn't help but sigh.

"Isn't it?......" Ed asked cautiously.

"What if they only think that 'reliance' is not so reliable?" Balk asked him, "and even if that is simply false?"

When he understood this, Ed felt like he had been thrown into a frozen lake for a moment.

"You mean......" he stammered, subconsciously trying to refuse to admit it, "impossible...... Sean...... They won't be so easily deceived!"

"Probably not. Balk replied, "Perhaps they have doubts, but what is in their hands will always give them a little delusion, and that little delusion may be deadly enough." Even Scott...... It may not be that there is no such 'illusion', if he is not the hands that control everything. ”

Ed bit his lip hard and stayed for a moment.

He had never thought of this...... His eyes couldn't see much. Scott wouldn't do such a thing, but Ankeland and Lydia ...... They can indeed have such scheming.

Had he already fallen into their trap and walked on the path they had arranged, without realizing it?

"You already knew what I told you, didn't you?" he said, a little frustrated.

"Yes. Balk admits frankly, "There are slight discrepancies, but they are inconsequential details." ”

“...... What can I do?" Ed asked in a low voice.

Mork frowned, looking at Balk with caution and warning in his eyes.

The young human had been hit unexpectedly, and it would be fine if it made him more mature and stronger, but if someone wanted to use it to control him...... He wouldn't accept it.

You have to ask yourself this question. Ignoring the dwarf's gaze, Balk replied calmly, "You know, of all the forces that I feel can influence the outcome, you are the one with the purest purpose, but also the one with the least control, because no one knows what you can do...... Your strength is beyond my imagination, and probably beyond the imagination of many people. ”
