"Hahahaha, I see, is it the internship location set by Ike's bastard boy? This guy does have a knack for tormenting people. After each of them had finished their introductions and had a general understanding of the reason why VIII. Ben had come to the Nord Plateau, Gunn laughed and said, "But ah, Alyssa, we haven't seen each other for five years, and it feels like you're fully grown." Needless to say, the place where you should grow up is also well developed. Mmmm, you've been blessed to be a grandfather, so it's no wonder that even Ike, a thoughtful guy, is circling around you. ”

"It's time to change the stinky problem of sexually harassing your granddaughter." Ike replied as he looked at the students who were smiling wryly

"That's, that's it! Compared to these, grandpa, what have happened to you all these years? Leave everything behind and disappear from Luray ... Do you know how worried I am?! Alyssa spoke sternly.

"I've written to you almost every season." Gunn replied, "And I've read all the letters you gave to Sharon."

“。。。 Have you been living here since five years ago? ”

"Well, but not living here all year round. Almost half of the year is spent returning to the empire to play at friends' houses across the mainland. ”

"That's nice, paid time off or something. I'd like to do that once in a while, too. Ike said, shaking his chair.

"Well, I'm interrupting your conversation." Lane interjected, "Mr. Gunn seems to know a lot about our internship, right?" ”

"By what you say...

"It's like waiting for us...

"After all, I've always been in touch with the village chief and that workaholic daughter." Gunn stood up, "Then let's get ready to go, I'll go and prepare the tools, and you, go now?" ”

"The sooner the better, of course." Ike also stood up.

"Huh? Ike, where are you going? Alyssa wondered.

"Investigate the area a little." Ike replied vaguely, "I don't know the specifics, but I should be able to meet you in the evening." ”

"I—I'll send you." Alyssa, who got up in a hurry, followed Ike out of the room.

“。。。 Is it the same for the two of them at the academy? Gunn pointed to the two who had left, his eyes glowing with gossip.

"Although it's better in the academy...

"But it's not as obvious as it is now"

"After all, Alyssa is a shy person."

Several people looked at each other and replied thoughtfully.

"Heh, it seems that I've come here, and even my mood has changed." Gunn said to himself with interest, "Or did you deliberately let me, an old man, see it?" Yes, my granddaughter has really grown up. ”

"I don't think so... Rien replied with a wry smile.

。。。。。。

"If you come out with you, you will be teased by the old man again later." Ike came to the horses and said to Arissa, who was a little amused, and looked at Arissa, who was blushing and came out.

"Anyway, he'll do it anyway." Alyssa blushed and replied, "And! Ike, you know that grandpa is here, but you don't tell me anything, aren't you teasing me with grandpa?! ”

"Don't get me wrong, I just like to tease you, but that old man is a big gentleman, as long as it's a girl, it's his teasing object." Ike shrugged, "In addition, I won't tell you that it's really because of the old man's request, with your character, if you knew, the internship wouldn't be able to be completed properly." ”

"Even so—" Alyssa paused, and after a moment of silence, said vaguely, "then you'll come to my aid, won't you?" You also know that I have always been against my mother and grandpa... ”

"Have you dealt with anyone?" Ike teased.

"Wow, verbose!"

"Rest assured." Ike hugged Arissa gently, "As long as you ignore that old man." If he doesn't have fun with himself, he won't say it anymore. I care more about Emma than you, and as the first time we met, everyone must have been teased by him. It's up to you then, Alyssa. ”

"Huh?! Wasn't I looking for help? Why did you suddenly give me such a big burden?! Alyssa, who was a little overwhelmed by the sudden hug, and then took a step back in fear of a big trouble.

"That's for your internship. If you can't do it, you will be deducted points. Ike replied with a forced smile, "Then I'll go over the evening, and I'll do my best until then." ”

。。。。。

Leave the hut and ride all the way to the Colossus statue on the plateau.

Even in the Norder Plateau, the remains of this stone statue are in a fairly high and conspicuous position. The huge body was tightly covered with a thick layer of moss on the boulder behind it. The mottled patches everywhere reveal the traces of time, even after being blown by the wind of the plateau for so many years, the face and posture of the colossus and the strong armor on its body are clearly visible.

"It's been a long time, but nothing has changed here." Ike surveyed the Colossus and its surroundings, muttering to himself, "The 'guardian' of Norder... The legend that has been passed down in the empire, the knight of the Lionheart Emperor 250 years ago... Either way, it's worth investigating. ”

Pull out the sword that has been slung on your back and walk into the Colossus Ruins. The closer you get to the Colossus, the more you can feel his enormity, even if it's Ling's Patil Matil, it probably can't be compared to him. Ike pondered.

The long sword that reacted after coming into contact with the 'mystery' is really not moving at all, as if this colossus ruins are like other natural landscapes, everything is so natural... and unnatural.

"The power of different systems, that's what I'm talking about." Ike put his hand on the remains of the Colossus, and his dark pupils radiated a deep brilliance at the moment, and the reinforcement of his body was fully opened, adjusting the direction of reinforcement to perception. A moment later, a circle of exploration large enough to encompass a hundred sub-distances spread around Ike, then compressed smaller and smaller, and finally stayed within the scope of the colossus's remains.

An indescribable power was transmitted through the thick and hard skin of the Colossus, in the middle of the chest. The weak power seemed to be extinguished at any time, but it made Ike can't help but put away the left hand placed on the Colossus, and made a defensive gesture. Not because of the strength of the power, but for a simpler, more pure reason - the difference in the power class.

"That's the power of legend... Ike wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Spare me, is this the purpose of the roaring lion all the time?" And the movement of associations... Not only are you eyeing the seven treasures of the goddess, but are you also eyeing other powers? ”

Fighting back a hint of fear and a thousand thoughts, Ike once again put his hand on the remains of the Colossus. The surging power like waves suddenly calmed down, just like the shock of a lost person when he was first discovered, the second wave of power calmed down a lot, and was replaced by a bottomless depth.

"Tsk! This guy is absorbing my power! Ike's expression changed, and he pulled out his left hand, which was firmly attached to the Colossus. Wrong... It's not so much absorbing my magic ... Ike looked around with a gloomy expression, "Am I being included in the scope of mana absorption?" Looks like I've turned on the switch on this strange guy. ”

The magic floating in the air, together with the mysterious power contained in the Norder Plateau, suddenly flowed in an 'orderly' manner, with the Colossus Ruins as the center, the magic power quickly poured into the Colossus Ruins, and the speed of flow became faster and faster, and finally even formed a small wind current, constantly blowing towards the Colossus.

"Damn! If this continues! Ike's eyes turned fiery red, and he suddenly burst out of the colossus and pulled his hand away from the Colossus's ruins, quickly breaking away from the Colossus's range. In just a few tens of sub-distances, in an instant, it was like Ike who had a short burst and scattered fighting qi was sucked away, and Ike, who was almost forcibly unraveled and strengthened, looked at the colossus that was still frantically inhaling magic power in disbelief, and his heart palpitated inexplicably, if he didn't make a quick decision, God knows if he would be drained of his strength.

The crazy mana drain lasted for two or three hours and finally slowed down, and Ike, who was still standing outside the circle, watched vigilantly at the immobile Colossus Ruins, everything was so natural, as if Yi Bian had not existed a few hours ago. Surprised, Ike finally couldn't help but walk up again after waiting for more than ten minutes, his perception was full of energy, even if he absorbed so much magic power, he couldn't detect the magic power on the colossus ruins, it was still that imperceptible feeling, but in the dark sky, or in the brain, a sound that seemed to be nothing, through the layers of nothingness, mixed with the sound of the wind and the sound of the grass shaking, imperceptibly transmitted to this place.

"Degree, activation, new qualifies detected—"
