As he approached, he was very suspicious of the delicate, stiff atmosphere, which was not so much nervous, but awkward—no one wanted to back down, no one wanted to speak, and no one could really fight...... Embarrassed.

He could even feel Sean secretly relieved as he walked over. The Paladin Leader is not very good at convincing others with words, and the elves standing in front of him ...... The half-dragon, an ancient soul that has existed for thousands of years, will not succumb to his power or prestige.

"You know, this flower...... How important it is to us. He spoke to Ed.

The young man nodded. He did know that if Nana hadn't broken out of the shell, the dragon egg would have been a very important part of their plan, but for now...... They desperately need something to replace it.

"Maybe we can find a more appropriate place to talk about this?" Ed rubbed his hands and smiled, "Maybe some wine? ”

Sackses turned to look at him, a faint smile on his lips, as if teasing—he couldn't drink, and he certainly wasn't afraid of the cold.

However, there was a sharp coldness in the teasing, which made Ed's pupils shrink involuntarily.

"Of course," said the elf, "why not?"

His tone remained calm. Ed froze, tossing the faint feeling of weirdness to the back of his mind. He really needed a glass of wine to breathe a little life into his empty and powerless brain.

.

When he actually sat down, Ed began to regret it again. The warmth of the flames, the aroma of food and wine, did not lift his spirits, only made him sleepy to death.

On the way, Filly had already told him in more detail what the exact reason for the dispute between Sean and Saxes that did not break out. Sachses wanted to "borrow" the magic circle in the temple that could teleport to other worlds, and Fili, who was only responsible for "guarding", did not dare to make his own decisions. He finally grabbed Sean, who had just returned to the temple, but Sean saw the flower in Saxes' hand at a glance.

"You can use the circle, but you have to keep this flower. He said.

This is a way of speaking that both Filly and Ed can understand—not threatening, no hints, purely literal, and if Sachses disagrees, it's not really non-negotiable...... But Sacksis may have taken that as a threat, and only laughed softly, and without saying a word, Sean fell silent, and remained there.

Trinny's rose, in Sean's mind, even if it fell into the hands of a dragon thousands of years ago, probably belongs to the priesthood as a matter of course. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so strong. But Saxes, he obviously had something else to do with the flower.

"Maybe we can exchange something else?" asked Ed in a low voice.

"He wanted to hold up a world with that flower. Isis sneered, "It should be the 'retreat' he told you before...... Do you think you can find something you can trade for?"

Ed couldn't help but pat his head again. What should he have thought of...... But he's really tired.

Now, while they sat in the room with their glasses in their hands, and everyone expected him to speak first, he just wanted to lie down on the spot, and not be able to sleep.

"Have you found it?" he asked Sacess, "the world Felicity is looking for you, the other ...... 'garden'." ”

He deliberately mentioned Felicity, believing that she wouldn't care about his use like this, and Sean did subconsciously look over.

He also deliberately mentioned the "garden", although he was not sure at the moment whether the rose of the goddess of the earth should really be planted in the garden to support another hope.

Saxes did not answer. He looked up at the window, and Ed followed his line of sight, until Iss suddenly got up and walked to the window, only to find that there was a faint light outside the window, like lightning in the distant sky, flickering and dimming.

A faint sound from afar could penetrate his misty mind, suddenly dull as thunder, and suddenly as sharp as a whistle.

Soon, a paladin appeared at the door, hesitated for a moment, but walked up to Sean and whispered a word. Ed couldn't hear it, but Ise did—

The crow broke into the circle.

.

By the time they arrived, the brief battle was over. The White Crow hadn't actually made it to the circle, she had been held back from the last line of defense, standing gracefully and comfortably surrounded by the crowds, her black hair untidy, like a noble lady protected by her knights.

Ed peeked at Saxis, the elf's face was a little gloomy from the moment he heard the news, as if it wasn't his idea. However, now that he had calmed down, he smiled slightly when his eyes met the crow, as if helpless and reassuring.

In the silence, it was Isis who spoke first.

"Is it fun?" he asked, and anyone could hear his suppressed anger.

The crow innocently spread his hands: "They were the ones who did it first! I don't even know how I got here...... But none of them would listen to me. ”

"You can go back and explain it to Mulder. Is's tone was tough, he didn't bother to entangle with her at all, but he didn't want her to fall into the hands of others, "It will definitely not refuse." ”

The white crow lowered its eyes, and a faint smile slipped through it.

"So," she asked, "are you going to take me home?"

Iss paused suspiciously, not just because she acted like a well-behaved, even a little embarrassed girl...... It's also because of that unexpected "homecoming".

He thought she had always only used Enshiya as her prison.

"You can't go anywhere. ”

Sean answered her.

"I still have some questions for you. Ed quickly spoke, pretending not to see the paladin leader's slightly raised hand: "Can you be in ...... Do you want to stay with Tonbuch for a while? maybe meet those who suddenly have strange powers? No one knows them better than you and knows how to bring out their true powers...... If you want, you can stay in Lockburg first, which also has a great view and a view of the whole city. ”

The white crow tilted its head to look at him, the curvature of his lips growing larger and wider, and finally he laughed uncontrollably.

"Of course," she said, "if you really need me so much." ”

As she approached, the knights who surrounded her dispersed silently. Since Sean didn't stop it, they naturally obeyed Ed's wishes.

The female mage walked up to Ed's side, put a hand on his shoulder affectionately, and even deliberately blew into his ear, smiling like a flower and saying in a voice as sweet as honey: "I'll wait for you, Sage...... My lord. ”

She wasn't as skilful and natural as Agnes when she made such jokes, but it was enough to make the useless Sage blush to the root of her ears.
