In half a month, the expeditionary force reached the foot of the Huria mountain range, which is located within the territory of the Huria territory.

There is forest all the way down to the mountainside.

Upon arriving here, Fitnay dismounted, rested with the others, and headed up the hill with the large army.

The forest where the giant trees grow makes the surface of the mountain seem to have a layer of blue waves in the sun and wind.

For the forest, Fitney has a special familiarity.

Even if this isn't Aesop's Forest.

After some rest, we headed for the forest.

"This forest in Juria is called Soya. Ed walked alongside her and said, "Because there's a lake in the forest." ”

"Sounds good, if you can pass by. Fitney's eyes lit up slightly.

Lake Soya, another place celebrated by bards – Fettnay had heard some stories about Lake Soya, but it really sounded like it was just a story.

The story begins with a magician who accidentally visits Lake Soya, who sees a mirror-like lake, and a woman who suddenly appears and lives in the lake.

She calls herself Soya, a being imprisoned by Ironia - not human, and although she looks like a human, she has wings.

The mirror-like lake suddenly appeared in front of me......

There is no record of elves, dragons, and goblins in the kingdom of Luther, even in the "Word of God", everything revolves around the story of man and God who are exactly the same as man.

The story of Lake Soya is probably the first and only one that has nothing to do with people.

A human-like, winged creature that is not named in the story.

What is even more surprising is the identity of "imprisoned by Ellentia".

But the magician who wants to ask for the certificate will never get an answer.

And it's just a story that became popular some time ago more than twenty or thirty years ago, and it quickly disappeared.

It seems to be the story that disappeared with the dilapidated Keldon Castle.

It is also possible that it was erased by the Holy See.

"Do you know who Soya is?" Eureka couldn't help but ask Fitney.

Fitney paused, "I've heard of another Sawyer, Sawyer Keldon, the owner of the vanished castle. ”

"Many people say that she is actually something imprisoned in Lake Soya - even a little over twenty years ago she was a legend, but then she disappeared. "Two Sawyer, one thought to be a story, and the other, the owner of Kelton Castle—I remember, were rumored to be a good magician. ”

But almost no one mentions her anymore.

It's like the ruins of that ancient castle.

Although it exists, it is hardly mentioned anymore.

"Didn't you read a book about it a while ago? I remember, this part of the story, and some special magical research...... Mr. Ed seemed ......" Eureka's smile was sly.

"Eulika, that's enough. ”

"Shut up. ”

The unanimity of Fitney and Ed made all three of them stunned, and Eureka reacted first, and then laughed.

"Let's go. With that, she walked forward.

Ed came back to his senses and glanced at Fitney—noticing that she had tilted her head slightly to the side, not looking at him.

"The legend of Lake Soya was first spread by Soya Keldon, a magician who was famous more than thirty years ago and claimed to be an Aberg, but was not. However, when she was alive, she liked to provoke the Holy See, and some people say that the dilapidated Castle of Keldon was the work of the Holy See, because she not only provoked the Holy See, but also made up such ridiculous stories. Ed reached out and took Fitney's hand.

Fitney's hand trembled when it was touched by his somewhat cold hand, but it didn't break free, and it took a long time to react when he heard his words: "Arberg people...... Is she so disgusted by the Holy See because she is a researcher of the Word of God? Spreading that story is just an expression of disgust......

"Perhaps, some people do have hatred of the Holy See because of the research. "But Sawa does hate the Holy See, but not because of her research ......."

"Soya's Poem talks about the lake and the mysterious, winged women that appear on it. "But I remember that Soya couldn't have been a woman." ”

"She was a man dressed as a woman—a matter that was later publicized by the Holy See and called a 'betrayer,' so many people who respected her thought she had been killed by the Holy See. Ed's tone was light, "It's not a surprise. ”

It sounds like the truth is that a castle owner disguised as a man, a magician who has studied magic, in order to express his dissatisfaction with the Holy See, openly claims to be an Aberg, provokes the Holy See, and secretly fabricates the story of Lake Soya.

The ruins of the castle are her end.

"Is it actually a confrontation with the Holy See......" Fitney looked into the distance, "it sounds like a distant legend." ”

It is just an example of a failed confrontation with the Holy See.

"Many people are dissatisfied with the Holy See, both academically and religiously. Ed remembered a figure that was also a little distant to him.

"For there is no absolute light, and there is no faith...... ? ”

"Absolute light can only appear in the heart of a single person, and not, and should be the mind of the vast majority. Ed stared at Fitney, his eyes making Fatney a little afraid to look directly.

That's not the usual softness.

There is a profound meaning, with the deepest insistence of a person's heart, as if without that, he is no longer him.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and there was some contested silence hidden in them.

"I ...... Got it. Fitney finally broke the silence.

The two did not speak again.

=======================================

Granenyra Territory.

A small town located in the northeast.

After the outbreak of war, perhaps because of the close relationship between the Uzbids and the Holy See, there was not much concern among the civilian population.

On the streets, people have largely maintained their original state of life – people come and go.

It was already dusk at this time, and the people selling things on the side of the street had already begun to pack their things.

A man in a cloak walks into town.

The corners of his cloak were sticky with dirt chips, and he didn't attract much attention when he walked into town. He walked all the way, occasionally turning his head to look behind him as he turned.

Until they came to a tavern in the corner of the town - no different from other taverns.

He rubbed his hands together and pushed open the thick door.

The smell of wine immediately came out, as well as the shouts of the players and the conversation of the people.

He glanced at the men, his eyes moving in the shadow of his cloak hood.

Closing the door, he walked towards the tavern, shoved a drunken man with his head on the aisle, and continued on his way.

Until you see someone in the corner.

It was a remote corner that was hard to spot without looking closely.
