Siberis stood on the docks of the Ice Whispering Harbor, watching from afar as the Starlight slowly broke through the sea and sailed against the wind.

Before the ship could come to a stop, Friedlier jumped off the side of the ship. He walked away to Si Bai Lis, touched her head and said, "Xi Bai Lis, guess what gift I brought you." ”

Sibriss smiled slightly, and she said in Featonian fluent than before, "I can't guess, what is it?" ”

Friedlier gestured to the Starlight behind him, only to see Tarregalir lead a giant Dragonheart Hound off the ship and say, "Hey, Queen Siberys, Bear Slayer." Your dear Taru brought you this. ”

"Come on, look at it, it's a very rare breed of dog." Friedlier smiled as he walked over to the Dragonheart Hound and beckoned Sibeliss to come closer.

Siberis took a few steps forward, but was hesitant again by the fierce appearance of the Dragonheart. She looked up at Friedlier and asked, "Taru, you gave me this?" ”

"Of course." Friedlier laughed, "Are you scared?" ”

Sibeliss hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "I'm not afraid. ”

With that, Sibriss walked over to the hound, which was still barking wildly. But when Sibriss approached the hound, the hound suddenly stopped barking and fell silent. Seeing this, Friedlier and Tarregalil looked at each other and exchanged incredulous glances.

"Hello." Cybeliss said to the Dragonheart, and she slowly reached out and stroked it. Looking at the dragon's heart hound's sturdy limbs and spotted fur, Si Baili said, "Hello, dog. ”

The Dragonheart Hound quieted down under Siberys' reassurance. All the sailors watched with curiosity the interaction between her and the Dragonhearthound, and people couldn't believe that the Dragonheart Hound could be so kind to this foreigner.

"Tarru, you know, the Dragonheart Hound has always chosen its own owner...", Talle Galil whispered as he leaned closer to Friedreel.

"Yes, I know." Friedlier said with a nod and a smile.

Seeing that the dragon heart hound did not resist Si Bai Lisi's petting at all, Taregalil said to Xi Bai Lis, "Bear slayer, it seems that it likes you very much. ”

"I like it too." Siberis stroked the hound, then smiled at Tarregalir instead.

Friedlier personally handed the Dragonheart's collar to Sibris. After looking at the rope in her hand, Si Bai Li quickly placed it on the ground, and in turn, Xi Bai Li stepped forward to untie the hound's collar.

"Hey! Sibris, that's dangerous. Tarregalil reminded loudly after seeing the scene.

"It's okay." Siberis said with a smile at Tare Galil.

Seeing that the always ferocious Dragonheart Hound was being petted by Siberis like a docile big cat, neither barking nor running away, Tallegaril couldn't help but mutter, "My God, I didn't expect this Dragonheart Hound to be like our Taru." Loved little girls. ”

Outside the Taru longhouse a few days later, Friedlier looked at Si Bai Lis, who was laughing and playing with the dragon heart hounds every day, and suddenly said to her, "Si Bai Lis, you need to give your partner a name. ”

"I don't know enough Pheton words to name dogs. ”

"You can give it a Garland name." "It's a lady. ”

"Then call it Noshibi." After thinking for a while, Si Baili said, "I used to have a Dimi cat, and that's the name. It stayed with me until the day the enemy came, when it was wounded by a fiery arrow and died. ”

"Noshi.... That's a good name. Friedlier nodded and asked, "Can you tell me what it means?" ”

"This is the name of a monster from the underworld in the myth of Garan, who first came to the surface to plague the world, but in the end, it found its conscience, changed its ways, and finally stayed on the earth and became a companion of mankind."

"Noshibi." Friedlier smiled and stroked the Dragon's Heart Hound Nohibi, and said to him, "You have to protect your master. ”

Siberis smiled and said, "I can feel it, it will protect me, and yours." ”

Friedlier was about to say something when he heard someone running from a distance.

"Taru!" A young, hurried voice came, and it was Evenson.

"Taru, from the Isle of Eternal Night," Evenson could finish his sentence when he was startled by the sudden rise of Nohibi, who bared his fangs at Evenson and let out a low roar in his throat.

Friedlier tilted her head at Sibris, motioning for her to take Nohibi aside for the time being.

"He's Evenson, he's our friend, don't be like that, Nohibi. Come on, let's go over there. "Sibriss calmed Nohibi and took him away.

"Taru, according to the fishermen's report, Rykril Taru of Eternal Night Island is heading south with a huge fleet of at least thirty warships." Watching Nosis being pulled away by Siberis, Evenson continued.

Hearing this, Friedreel turned his gaze in the direction of Eternal Night Island, and then said, "It seems that Rickliel has indeed completely ignored the king. ”

Evenson: "Taru, Rickrell has indeed flouted the King's authority for a long time. The point is, he led the army to the south this time, is they going to Jialan? ”

"Yes, Garland, of course." Friedlier smiled and looked at Evenson.

Evenson asked, confused, "But they've never been there before, so why would they suddenly want to go to Garland?" Could it be that our people leaked the information to him? ”

Friedreer approached Evenson and whispered, "Yes, the information was leaked. I sent Eoliel to Rickreel the golden eight-pointed star. And through the mouth of Eoliel, he told Ricklir Taru that Garland was now fragile and full of gold. Anyone who goes there will become very wealthy. ”

Evenson was taken aback, and he hurriedly asked, "Tharu, why are you doing this?" ”

"You should be able to figure out why." "If Azor can get a fortune from Garland, so can we. ”

"Taru... Do you want to use the power of Eternal Night Island to penetrate deep into the heart of Garland? Evenson thought for a moment and said, "But it seems like a lie that you asked Aeoliel to tell him that there was gold all over the place." Garland's fortune must have been looted by Asol, right? ”

"No, there are." "I've got unique intel, trust me. Garland is richer than you think. ”

"Even if Garan still has a lot of treasures to loot, but now that Garlan is everywhere, shouldn't there be a lot of Yasol's army?" Evenson said, "If Rickrell of Eternal Night Island had gone there like this, wouldn't it have met them immediately. ”

"Oh, I forgot to let Ioliel tell him this, I hope Rickreel can defeat them." Friedlier laughed.

Evenson was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand Friedrie's intentions, and couldn't help but smile and ask, "Taru, tell me about your plan." If they arrive at Garland and find Azor's army all over the place, Rickrell will surely assume that we are deliberately lying to him, and I think he will probably be making his way to Frost Trail after retreating. ”

"You're right, my brother." Friedrie's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, "My plan is to prepare to lead the warriors to Dragon's Heart Island. ”

"Go, Dragon's Heart Island?" Evenson couldn't believe his ears, he looked at Friedlier's resolute gaze and asked, "What can you do when you go to Dragon's Heart Island, do you want to take advantage of it... Seize the throne? Evenson asked, confused.

Friedlier smiled and said, "No, of course not. You are wrong, I am going to answer the king's call and prepare to go on a crusade against Rickliel Taru, who ignores the king's authority. ”

"Crusade against him?" Evenson said, "Taru, are you going to put Rickliel to death?" Why are you targeting him? ”

"My brother, sometimes I like your simplicity. But you should also try to become, become," said Friedley, who was at a loss for words, spreading his hands, "Forget it, it's good for you to do that." ”

"Taru, I still don't understand why you're targeting Rickliel Taru, we don't have any quarrels or grudges with them. Didn't you want to use its forces to march on Garan, why did you answer the king's call to go to attack him? ”

"You're right, we don't have a grudge against Rickliel Taru, so I'm not targeting him either. The reason why I lured him to Garan was to use his power to defeat the Azores together, and then plunder the wealthy Garan. However, I don't think Rickliel's strength alone is enough. I want all the troops of Featon to go there. ”

Evenson was taken aback, "But how could the king agree...."

"Unfortunately, of course our king will not agree to do that. You know, our king is a stubborn, bitter old man. By going to Longxin Island some time ago, I also understood that he would never call on the whole country to launch a plunder of Jialan. However, I think that although he will not start a war against others, he will certainly call for another kind of war, that is, a war against his own people, a civil war. I think he will muster all the Taru and crusade against someone like Rickliel who acts on his own, ignores the authority of the king, and does not take him seriously. ”

When Evenson heard what Friedlear said, it dawned on him, "I understand your plan, Taru. You're right, I think the king will order us to go against Rickliel. Until then, until then..... As long as the Tharus' fleet followed Riccliel south and left Feyton. Then you can incite more people to plunder the wealthy Garland. ”

"Yes, Evenson. No one wants to refuse gold treasures. What's more, no one wants to be an enemy of Eternal Night Island, right? "When we get to Garland, and under the lure of the golden treasures, I think everyone will change their tunes and say to Rickliel Taru that they have come to his aid and to fight with him against the Athols." ”

"Then when we come back, I think the king will pass out in anger." Evenson laughed.

Friedreer smiled, but then asked Evenson seriously, "By the way, Evenson, let me ask you, how do you feel about the continuous rise of the tide like this year?" Have you seen this elsewhere before? ”

Evenson shook his head, "I've never seen a high tide last so long. Also, I don't think it's correct to say that the tide is constantly rising, because the tide still falls occasionally, but even when the tide falls, the water level is higher than before. Taru, to be honest, my feelings are.... The sea has become more than before. ”

"There's more water than before...... Friedrell nodded thoughtfully, "I feel that way, too." ”

"Perhaps you should ask Miki Charan about this." Evenson said.

Friedrear nodded, "Okay, I see. Go and prepare supplies for the expedition. Maybe by the time we get to Garland, the tide will go down again. ”

As the warm wind blew and Sibriel watched from Overwatch as the Starlight, Warrior, Might, and the new ship carved with her image of the Bear Slayer faded away, she asked the Mikicharan sage beside her, "Sage, why did we leave Frosttrail Island and come here?" ”

Miki Charan stroked Silberis' blonde hair that was flowing in the wind, "Taru has his own plan. I think he's more out of it for your safety. ”

"Oh." "He'll return safely, right?" ”

"Of course, he was the bravest and toughest fighter in Facton. The ancestors blessed him. Miki Charan said with a slight smile.

"May God bless you." Sibeliss looked into the distance and whispered in Garland.

"Siberys, though I don't know what you're whispering about, maybe it's a blessing to Taru. But I remind you again that you should speak Feeton. "Friedlir Taru is a Feytonian, and it would be beneficial to him only to invoke the ancestors of Featon in the Feytonian language." ”

Siburys nodded apologetically and said in Phatton, "May the ancestors bless him." ”

"Sage, can you tell me the story of our ancestors?" After praying sincerely, Sibriss opened her blue eyes and looked at Mikicharan and said, "Now I can understand more words."

"In the past six months or so, your Pheton language has improved rapidly." Mikicharan said, "Well, I'll tell you the story of Brotha, a legendary ancestor keeper of the night. ”

Sibeliss nodded excitedly.

Mikicharan sat on the trunk of a felled tree, watched the ship disappear into the sky, and then said, "It was in the Dark Ages of the past, when dragons could even be seen flying in the sky. The world is filled with endless cruelty, with corrosive rain from the sky and underground flames ravaging everything, roaring horrible beasts occupying the jungles and mountains, and the only small land where people can survive is often infested by a monster called Quelsa Biso.

Quelsa Biso is an evil serpent that is not only massive, but also has a pair of huge wings. When the winter nights become extremely long every year, it always takes advantage of the sudden arrival of night and attacks innocent people. At a time, it razes a village or a few families to the ground and eats the people, animals and food there. People were defenseless against it, no one saw how it came to be, no one knew how it left, and no one knew where it lived. People only fear it, and countless cold nights make it difficult for people to sleep peacefully.

Until his appearance, Brotha, the Guardian of the Night.

He was the child of a fisherman's family on the island of Eternal Night, and one night when he was a baby, the evil snake Quelsa Biso attacked his village. The village was in a miserable situation, Brothe's father was about to kill them, in order to prevent his son Brote from dying in the mouth of the evil snake, he ruthlessly put Brote into a wooden barrel and threw it into the rough sea. But Brote did not die in the sea, but was taken in by the goddess of the sea, who nursed him as a man. Twenty years later, people saw a warrior who came on the waves, armed with a two-headed harpoon, and covered in colorful scale armor. He calls himself Brotha, and he says that he will defeat Quelsa Biso and make the night no longer fearful.

People didn't believe him at first, but in the days that followed, no matter how many years passed, no one spoke of the murder of Quelsabiso. Later, it was said that the body of Quelsa Biso had been seen on the shore of the sea in the north, its massive body twisted together, its wings severed, and even its eyes gouged out.

Later, in honor of Brota, who killed the evil snake Quelsabiso, a statue of him was erected on the shore of the island of Eternal Night. The statue is still there, and Brote holds a double-headed fork in her hand, inserting the body of the snake in her hands, stepping on the snake's head, and removing its eyes. ”

Although Sibriss did not understand some of the Pheton words spoken by Miki Charan, she listened to her tell Broth's story with great interest. Then she said to Mikicharan, "He's going to be better than Broth, right?" ”

Miki Charan was slightly stunned, then said with a smile, "Yes, because he is Taru of Frosttrail Island." ”
