I don't know if it's because of a distance battle, this night, the magic seed has become particularly active, and the speed of devouring mana seems to be several times higher than before. If this speed is maintained, Zhao Nan estimates that it will not take ten days for all mana to become magic.

Illya has clearly changed.

After the death of his beloved cloud-winged beast, he probably realized his shortcomings, right?

"The next thing is to guide her to the ......idea of becoming an official guardian," Zhao Nan looked at the dim pink sky.

Since the Fountain of Birth returned, he had not had much contact with Eliya. But Finana quickly got acquainted with her. However, through Fei Nina's inquiry, Zhao Nan understood the reason why Illya had always been just a trainee of the Guardian of the Realm.

To become a Boundary Keeper, you don't have to be strong to reach that level. As long as you follow the various tenets of the Guardian and successfully graduate from the Guardian Academy, you can become a Guardian even if you are not even at the Black Iron level.

The reason why Illya can only become a trainee is because in the graduation test, she is obviously capable of killing the other party, but she is merciful in the process of using the strength of the star spirit that the academy specially found from prison and has committed many bloody crimes as an opponent. She was reluctant to kill.

Without the consciousness of becoming a guardian, but with great longing and enthusiasm for the responsibility of the guardian to raise the children of the star spirit, Zuihou can only become a trainee.

Hundreds of years.

This is a problem that has been accumulating over many years, and it cannot be changed overnight. But Zhao Nan really didn't have time to slowly guide Illya forward. This was an opportunity. Fortunately, the effect is okay.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation, and Illya woke up from her dream, her face covered with sweat and a slightly panicked expression.

"Nightmares?" Zhao Nan frowned.

Illya was stunned and said sadly, "I dreamed of a cloud-winged beast. ”

"It's dead." Zhao Nan shook his head and said, "Mourning." ”

Illya sat with her knees crossed. He said in a low voice, "The Cloud-winged Beast was the one I was given to me by the academy on the day I became an apprentice. It has been with me all these years. ”

"It should be happy to have you as its owner." Zhao Nan comforted.

Illya recalled, "The Cloud-winged Beast is actually a dependent beast that can only be assigned to the official Guardian. I was obviously unqualified, but my mentor gave it to me anyway. But ......"

Zhao Nan's heart moved, Illya's current state was even better than he expected, so he said, "That's because your mentor has expectations for you." It believes in you that one day you will be worthy of a Cloud-winged Beast. ”

Illya looked up in confusion. With tears in his eyes, he said, "No...... I killed it. ”

Zhao Nan said indifferently: "So, you plan to continue to live up to your mentor's expectations of you back then?" ”

"I'm not!" Illya stubbornly raised her head, grabbed her clothes with both hands, and said in a trembling voice, "I...... Always dragging people back. When I was in the academy, when I came to the teaching center, I always caused trouble for the dean. And just now, if I was stronger, I wouldn't let you lose your strength......"

"But if it weren't for you, I'd be out of strength. It's still going to die. Zhao Nan said honestly: "And you have killed more salon worms than me." ”

"It's just because of the crossbow." Illya shook her head, "Without it, I wouldn't have been able to kill even a salon bug." ”

Zhao Nan disagreed: "In the same way, as a weapon, if you don't use it, it is not offensive in itself. ”

Zhao Nan took a branch, broke it and added it to the fire in front of him, and the light of the fire reflected on the cheeks of the two. The shadows stretched and swayed in the hole, "You can do it." The point is that you're denying yourself. ”

"But I ......"

Zhao Nan suddenly interrupted: "Do you remember what you said to me after testing your qualifications that day?" ”

Illya was stunned, and stopped talking.

"That's just a word of comfort for me, not something from your heart?" Zhao Nan asked softly.

"No, it's... Mine, from the heart. Illya said with her head bowed.

Zhao Nan shouted: "Raise your head." Look at me. ”

Drinking by Zhao Nan, Illya reflexively raised her head with a nervous expression.

"Becoming a Guardian of the Realm, is it just for you to have fun?"

"It's not. Definitely not! ”

"Then you weishenme stop?"

"I just...... Just ......"

"Just what?"

"I'm afraid."

"But when you killed the saloon bugs, I wasn't scared when I saw it." Zhao Nan said suddenly.

"That's different!" Illya argued, "If you don't, you'll be the one who dies!" ”

Zhao Nan shrugged and said, "Yes, if you don't make a move, it will be me who will die." Similarly, if this situation occurs in the future, if you can't make a move, it may be other star spirits who die, big star spirits, small star spirits...... Even newborn star spirits. I ask you, can you endure the fact that the star spirit you love, the star spirit you raised, and the star spirit child you have poured your feelings into are killed by the star spirit bandits in front of you because of your own incompetence? ”

Illya was silent.

Zhao Nan sighed and said, "Didn't the Realm Keeper Academy teach you this kind of thing?" ”

"Twelve Boundary Keepers, with your words on them." Illya smiled wryly, "I know, always a.g. ”

Zhao Nan rubbed his eyebrows, Illya really avoided this question. It's always been like this, but now it's clear that she has to face it. He sighed and said, "Even if you know, remember what I said today and reflect on it." ”

Illya nodded silently.

Zhao Nan looked outside the cave, his brows locked, and the magic seed suddenly jumped violently. A sense of familiarity arose.

It was all too familiar to him.

The sound of the dragon.

He finally sensed the presence of Eurisis!

Zhao Nan smiled and suddenly stood up, "Since you're awake, let's go." If you can't collect the medicinal herbs in time, Linglong will be in danger. ”

"But...... Time to go back and forth, I'm afraid... Inadequate. Illya said with difficulty: "We are moving too slowly, this is outside the circle, and you will encounter many primordial spirits when you walk on land. ”

Zhao Nan smiled slightly: "But Linglong's luck is much better than ours." ”

Illya was stunned. I don't know.

Zhao Nan stretched out his hand and pointed, the red light outside the cave flashed, and a dragon groan shook the sky!

……

……

Roar - !!!

The high-pitched roar of the dragon made even the air tremble.

The Sky Dragon landed in the backyard of the Academy. This dragon groan drew Finina and the others out. Tuoba Xiaocao thought that something terrifying was coming, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was the Sky Dragon. Suddenly there was no good face.

"You bastard...... Can't you come back quieter? Tuoba Xiaocao's expression was very strange.

It's probably like wanting to be angry, but swallowing the anger back into the stomach, that stiff twist.

Zhao Nan patted Eurisis's head and let it lie on the ground before crawling down, "Tuoba, you are really a person who keeps his promises. ”

Tuoba Xiaocao raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "That's." Don't you look at what kind of person I am, old lady! ”

Zhao Nan shook his head and said, "Carried away." ”

"You!!"

"Something has been brought back." Zhao Nan has always been able to find something to keep Tuoba Xiaocao shut recently.

"Really?" Tuoba Xiaocao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly passed Zhao Nan and walked to Illya, who had just landed, "Where's the thing?" ”

Illya patted the cloth bag on her waist with an unnatural expression, and smiled reluctantly, "It's here." ”

Tuoba Xiaocao hurriedly urged: "Quick! ”

Looking at Tuoba Xiaocao's pair of short legs and short hands, but with the strength of Illya's trouser legs walking briskly, Finana couldn't help but chuckle. walked in front of Zhao Nan and reached out to pat his clothes. "Good work."

Zhao Nan shook his head, and suddenly said, "I still have to go out for a while, you wait for me." ”

"Where are you going?" Finana was puzzled.

Zhao Nan smiled mysteriously, pointed at Eurisis and said, "This guy probably hasn't come out for too long, and he wants to fly well...... And, I do have something to do. ”

Fei Nina stretched out her hand and touched Zhao Nan's forehead and said, "I must have thought of some bad idea." ”

"It's hard to say......"

Finana glanced blankly and said, "Remember to come back before dinner!" ”

The Sky Dragon screamed again. Soon he rushed to the sky, but in mid-air, he suddenly stopped and looked down at the teaching institute.

"What's wrong?"

The Sky Dragon let out a low cry, and then spread its wings. He flew at full speed to the position outside the circle.

……

……

It wasn't until after dinner that Zhao Nanfang returned to the teaching institute.

Seeing his dusty appearance, Finana couldn't bear to blame.

"Where's Tuoba?" Zhao Nan suddenly asked.

"Linglong, she won't leave a step, now." Finana laughed.

"Illya?"

Finana shook her head, "After she was done to give Linglong to take, she went back to her room and never came out...... Nan, what did you do? ”

Zhao Nan spread his hands and said, "What do you think I can do with this appearance?" ”

Finina took a sip, "I'll heat up the food for you." ”

Zhao Nan shook his head, pulled Fei Nina to look out the window and saw that there was no one, and whispered this, after a long time, Fei Nina said with a strange face: "Are you serious? ”

Zhao Nan nodded, "Otherwise, what am I going out for?" ”

Fienina thought for a moment, and finally nodded hesitantly. Zhao Nan smiled slightly, and after pulling her for a short time, he found Tuoba Xiaocao, and pulled her out of Linglong's side without saying a word.

"Even if I owe you a favor, it doesn't mean that you can treat me in this way!" Tuoba Xiaocao crossed his waist and accused with an unhappy face.

Zhao Nan said, "Tuoba, it's your turn to do me a favor." ”

Tuoba Xiaocao was stunned, and Finana whispered softly next to her.

Tuoba Xiaocao suddenly said angrily: "Weishenme If it's the old lady me?? ”

"Because, it's more sensational......" (To be continued......)
