Had it not been pointed out by Fenwitz, almost no one would have been able to see the faint light through the thin blanket that Tess had covered his chest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Naria reached out and took the delicate knife from Tess's arms, surprised and apprehensive.

“...... I remember we put away all her knives?" Ed recalled in confusion.

- That's a lot of them, and he doesn't even know how Tess hid them all. Is this also a form of magic?

"That's right. Naria stared at the two small, still shimmering sapphires on the hilt, her illuminated eyes filled with hope, "I put this back in her arms...... Remember that ice wolf?"

Ed nodded, understanding: "North." ”

The fluffy, more dog-like guy than the wolf-like one, is hard to forget, even though I've only seen it once.

"Even Mock didn't know how it was in the knife...... Tess tried to call it, but it never reappeared. But it's also some kind of soul, isn't it? It guided Tess to Norway in a blizzard, and I always thought it might be able to help her again...... I didn't expect it to be useful!" The girl looked at Ed with a hint of excitement and uneasiness, "This will be useful, right? It has never glowed like this before!"

But Ed couldn't answer, so he nodded silently.

This may indeed be a good sign, or it may be a harbinger of something worse...... And the only thing they can do is as Norway said.

"Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. ”

“...... Am I dreaming?"

Tess lay on the grass with her limbs spread out, muttering to herself in confusion.

The sun made her lazy. Wildflowers bloomed all over the ground, and a large dog scurried around her......

She always felt as if she had dreamed something like this, except for the dog in the dream...... The wolf, obediently, would lie beside her and lick her face merrily, instead of arching restlessly over her as he did now, and pulling at her clothes and whining.

"Hey...... What's wrong with you? Is it too hot in here?" she hugged the white wolf's neck and rubbed it around affectionately, ignoring the faint uneasiness in her heart.

She couldn't remember when the North appeared...... It's like she doesn't remember when Xiao Mo disappeared, but what does it matter? She has a very happy life, every day is happy, as if she has never been so happy in her life.

She didn't want to remember the things she had forgotten...... Anyway, if you forget, it proves that it doesn't matter at all, right?

A shadow blocked out the sunlight. Tess rolled on the grass in dissatisfaction, and halfway through the roll, she was lifted up by a pair of strong hands under her armpits.

“...... Don't you think you've slept too much?" Noway looked at her helplessly.

"Have you ever seen someone sleep with their eyes open?" Tess kicked him in the leg, "I'm admiring this beautiful world!"

Norway put her down with a wry smile, and looked thoughtfully at the north that was jumping and screaming around them, unable to be quiet for a moment.

"Don't you think it's trying to tell us something?" he said.

"Oh, you're thinking nonsense again. Tess casually tugged at the petals tangled in her hair, "It's just been in that knife for too long, and it's going crazy...... Just let it go crazy for two days. ”

"How the hell did you summon it?" Noway frowned slightly, "and it...... So true. ”

The white wolf rubbed against his hanging hand, and the warm and soft feeling was definitely not brought by a spirit body.

"What are you talking about?" Tess glared at him, "hasn't it always been like this?"

She hugged the white wolf hard, trying to roll on the grass again, but was pulled by Norvi.

"Tess ...... It's not right, you know. He said.

Elves rarely look so serious...... Tess hated him being so serious.

"What's wrong?" she jumped up angrily and banged her head on his chest, "Everywhere is right! You're just panicking! I don't care, we're almost dead, why can't-"

She stopped suddenly, a chill coming over her.

What is she talking about?

"I can't even remember what happened yesterday. Norway spoke calmly, "I remember that Ed needed our help...... Or do we need Ed's help? I don't even remember this...... Whenever I try to think of something, I always forget it faster......"

His expression was in a trance for a while, and then he shook his head vigorously, and resolutely finished his words: "And...... Didn't you notice, Tess, it's just the two of us, and we can't leave this forest - it's not a real world. ”

Every time he tried to leave, the next moment he would forget that he had such a thought, and only a remnant that was too broken to capture...... However, after repeated repeats, even the blurred shadows have left indelible traces.

Tess blinked blankly, her gaze hazy and distorted at that moment. An indescribable panic came at her from all sides, as if the whole world was about to collapse on her.

“...... And," Norway whispered, "I think we've had many conversations like this. ”

Tess shook her head desperately.

She doesn't admit it - yes, she doesn't. She refused again and again, and then ?......

Then it all starts all over again.

From one thing they didn't realize was wrong, starting in another way, the details became more and more blurred, more and more unreasonable, as if somewhere deep in their soul was becoming clearer and clearer.

"It's not a real world. ”

So no matter what, it can no longer continue.

Before she knew it, tears were rolling uncontrollably out of her eyes. If the world wasn't real, why could she still feel hot tears running down her cheeks?

The mist poured out of the woods, obscuring everything. Tess reached out and grabbed the elf, refusing to let go.

"Isn't that good?" she sobbed, "I just want to have a good time." ”

“...... And I want to give you real happiness in the real world. Norway wiped away her tears with his thumb and replied softly, "So we have to leave...... Tess, we need to remember what happened. ”

Tess continued to shake her head. The ominous premonition was so strong that she knew it wasn't going to end well.

But looking into the elf's eyes, she knew she couldn't stop it.

"I don't know what to do. She bowed her head, trying to make her last struggle.

Norway looked to the north. The Winter Wolf had stopped its frantic spinning and sat quietly on the ground, its snow-white shadow still visible in the churning gray mist.

It growled at Tess, turned and took a few steps, then looked back at them, flicking its tail eagerly.

"Follow it, Tess. Norway whispered, "Trust it...... Just like in that blizzard. ”
