Of course, this cannot be the Island of the Holy Sepulchre.

The ice dragon landed slowly, and couldn't help but patted the ground with its paws curiously—judging by the sound, there was no cemetery down there.

But the small round pool under the nose, with its clear reflection of the blue sky and white clouds, looked almost exactly like the one on the island of the Holy Sepulchre...... Of course, strictly speaking, it is a little bigger, and there is a circle of pure white stone bricks around the pool, so clean that it looks like someone scrubs it carefully and repeatedly every day.

"This is not some temple of the god of water, Nyor...... If you're skeptical about this. Rosa slid off its back and looked at her own shadow in the pool, "Although I thought so, too. ”

The ice dragon crouched on its hind paws, flicking its tail in deep thought. It didn't suspect that it was the temple of the god of water, though it did look like it......

"Not really. It said that it had found in its memory the name that had been carefully hidden behind history, "and this is the hiding place of the whisperers...... I didn't know they still existed. ”

Rosa glanced up at it in surprise.

"'The Whisperer'. "Sesyana also mentioned that name," she said...... Who are they?"

"Uh...... Just like a white crow, someone who is born with magical powers, but after some special kind of study and training, can control that power. ”

“...... Sounds like a mage?"

"It's not quite the same. The power of the mage comes from the power of the gods, the whisperers...... Like dragons, from this world, from themselves. The ice dragon told her. "Once upon a time, there was an unlucky fellow...... There was a dragon and an elf hybrid who was on the run and found that there were people like him among the humans. The power of magic runs through the blood. But such people usually do not have control over their powers, so they are always treated as monsters...... Just like himself. He found those people, hid them here, and taught them how to cast spells...... But he taught them the language of dragons, and dragons didn't allow that, so they were called 'whisperers'. ”

“...... Sounds like a pretty big secret. Rosa's smile was tinged with confusion, "Are you sure it's okay to just tell me?"

"He'll tell you that. Because he knows that once you leave here, you won't remember anything again. ”

A familiar voice came from not far away.

The ice dragon glared angrily at Rey, who was slowly emerging from the woods to the side—she was telling the truth. But she debunked it so unceremoniously that it made its rare frankness instantly seem like some kind of deception.

"I can tell her one more time!" it raised its head angrily, "if even that elf knew you existed, it wouldn't be a secret!"

"All he knows is that we are 'people who use magic with some ancient forbidden art.'" Ryan raised an eyebrow. "I don't know who told him this. But we don't care too much about such legends, and no one can find them anyway...... In fact, the people here call themselves hermits, and I only heard of the term 'whisperer' for the first time from his mouth. ”

"So, you're one of them?" asked Rosa, curious.

Ryan shrugged, staring at the small pool on the ground with a complicated expression.

"I don't know if they'll admit it or not. "Maybe this time I'll leave like you don't remember anything—memories of more than a decade." Wiped clean...... It's pretty easy. ”

Her self-deprecating smile didn't look so relaxed.

“...... You were trying to bring Sergio here so they could heal him?" suddenly dawned on the ice dragon.

“...... Can they do it?" Rosa's eyes lit up.

"I've seen one of them do something like that...... But she's dead. Rey's eyes darkened. "She's obviously younger than me......"

"What about the others?" Rosa asked with some eagerness, "I'm sorry you lost your friend, but if there was someone here who could help Sersio......"

"No more. Ryan smiled wryly, "We all have different powers...... I can barely control plants, Maya can control wind and animals...... But no one knows the human soul as well as Hadorie. But...... You probably don't have to worry too much about Sercio, that kid has his own destiny. ”

"Can you see any so-called 'fate' in this pool, like the legendary first water priests on the island of the Holy Sepulchre in Lake Starnestle?" the ice dragon scoffed, "where did you learn this? I know the magic that Sachses can teach you, and there is no such deception in it." ”

"Sacksis?" Ryan frowned slightly, "I haven't heard of that name. ”

"So you don't even know the name of the founder. The ice dragon sneered, "Of course, it's not surprising...... After all, you betrayed him. ”

— and the dragons tore him apart.

The ice dragon swallowed the second half of the sentence, wondering why he was so angry. The half-dragon, which had been dead for thousands of years, had nothing to do with it, and even its ancestors didn't care too much, just watched it from afar as a joke.

But it can't simply take that as a joke. It, and Saxess, they are in a similar situation...... Maybe there will be a similar ending.

"Whoever betrayed him, it wouldn't be me anyway. Ryan glanced at it faintly, not angry with it, "If you have any grievances, at least find someone who knows what you're talking about, right?"

“...... So you're here to take me to see 'that person'?" the ice dragon flapped its wings disdainfully, "What if I don't want to see him at all?"

"They saved you, Is. Rosa whispered, "At least hear what they have to say?"

The ice dragon closed his mouth in exasperation. Although most of its anger is due to itself - why is it so weak, so weak that it always needs someone to save it?...... Why can't it just say, "What the hell is my business?" and I didn't ask them to save it. "And then flapping your wings and leaving?

"I don't have much time. It craned its neck arrogantly, "That guy better not be too verbose." ”

"You've got to become a human before I can take you there. The corners of Rya's mouth turned up slightly, as if holding back a smile, "You can't get in like this." ”

“...... You can also bring him over. The ice dragon's eyes narrowed dangerously.

"I can't. Ryan sighed, "He can't leave that place. ”.
