Adeline sat back in the open space with a blank face, and Morena tried her best to look no different from before, but her melancholy face still 'revealed' her heart, which was full of torment at this time.

Barred was an experienced veteran after all, and he could see Morena's abnormality at a glance, and looked at Adeline with a stern gaze. "What did you just say?"

Adeline was still calm. "Just instructed me how to deal with Aloisius. ”

Barred raised his head and drank the hot tea from his teacup, then tightened his grip on the scabbard. "I'll keep an eye on you, Adeline, I wanted to take you away when I was in Valdosta, but you refused me, and if you do anything stupid again, I'll tie you up, throw you on horseback, and leave here without looking back. ”

"Do you think you can do it?" Adeline looked at Barred indifferently, a breeze blowing, and her long golden hair fluttered in the wind.

Barred was still staring into Adeline's eyes. "You should understand, Adeline, I know exactly what you're thinking, this induction between us has been going on for decades. ”

Everyone looked up at the two of them in surprise, and even Fern was attracted by Barrede's words, and the Great Sage snorted disdainfully. "So what does it mean? a mage can sense multiple warriors at the same time, and a good warrior can also sense multiple mages. ”

"You're right, but ......" Barred didn't let the Great Sage go. "Of all the warriors who have a sense of you, I have the strongest sense of yours. ”

Nigel somehow 'plugged in'. "Master, then why are you still connected to Elon Han?"

Stan immediately elbows Nigel in the ribs, and the mage snaps back.

Adeline lifted her teacup to her lips and gave her one last look at Barred. "The most sensitive is not necessarily the most suitable, and I have my reasons for choosing Elonhan. With that, the great sage took a sip of tea and ignored Bared.

Barred lay back in frustration, lying flat on the ground, and the others looked at each other, not daring to say more.

After resting, eight people climbed onto the backs of the four dragons in pairs, and after some adjustments, each dragon had at least one mage on its back. Adeline didn't want Barred to ride with her, but Barred insisted on replacing Ray, and then sat down behind Adeline, her hands cramped to find a place to hold on. Stan is still with Nalfi, and after Ray gets off the back of the dragon Adeline is riding, he has missed the opportunity to separate Fern from Jasmine for Ness, so he has no choice but to ride a dragon with Nigel.

Fern struggled to sense Ness's position, and in a few moments he managed to find it, leading the red dragon into the sky and beginning to accelerate towards the east, followed by three other dragons.

Jasmine felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and on the back of the dragon without a saddle, she couldn't fix her 'hips' at all, so she could only use her 'legs' to clamp the dragon's side as much as possible, and her hands hugged Fern's waist tightly, and the whirring wind in her ears made her dare not open her eyes, so she had to put her face close to Fern's back, and her long hair flew behind her. The red dragon changed its position in the air, tilting its body to the left and gliding with the help of the wind, which would conserve some stamina and allow it to fly farther. Fern and Morena's bodies also leaned to the left in unison, and Morena felt her ass slide a short distance to the left, almost falling off, and she subconsciously screamed.

"Right leg force!" Fern shouted back, and Jasmina tried to do so, finally stopping the trend of sliding.

The speed of the dragon was very fast, and it didn't take long for Fern to lead the red dragon to begin to descend, and the four dragons slowly landed in the dense woods, and Fern jumped off the dragon's back in fear, and walked forward without saying a word.

Jasmine's shock stabilized, her whole body was lying on the dragon's back and gasping for breath, she saw Fern's hurried appearance, and quickly called out to him despite the trembling voice. "Fern, where are you going? Wait for us!"

Fern continued to walk forward a few steps before turning back, his face anxious. "We have to hurry, I suddenly felt a palpitation on the dragon's back just now, and then the feeling between Ness and me weakened a lot, I'm afraid...... Something happened to her. ”

"Palpitations? Could it be that you're scared on the dragon's back?" Stan jumps off the dragon's back, his limp legs almost unsteady.

"No way, I'm used to riding this dragon, it must be Ness!" Fern shook his head uneasily.

Adeline calmly walked up to Fern and glanced at him, then walked slowly forward. "We'd better hurry, I think it's a bit of an anomaly. ”

As soon as the great sage said this, everyone did not dare to slack off, and Fern ran to the front again, lowering his body and moving forward. Jasmine hadn't fully recovered, lying on the dragon's back and wanting to get down but found that her big 'legs' were no longer obedient, Rui helped her, and the ** division slowly slipped off the dragon's back, Rui looked at the smaller and smaller back of Fern in front of him dissatisfied. "Fern is really, and he won't help you. ”

Although Morena stepped on the ground, she couldn't stand on her legs, so she had to support Rui. "It's not his fault, something must have happened to Ness, he's too worried. ”

Rui looked at Jarena with sympathy and appreciation. "Fern is so lucky to have your help, and even more so understanding. ”

Jasmina struggled to squeeze out a smile. "Let's keep up, he may need our help. ”

Rui sighed and helped Jarena, and the two chased after their companions in front of them.

Already close to the enemy, Fern stopped his advance and crouched in place, with Adeline crouching beside him. "What's wrong, is it there?"

Fern nodded. "Yes, wait here, I'll take a look. ”

Adeline grabbed the mercenary, and Fern turned around. "Don't be stupid, Fern, whatever you see, come back and tell us first. ”

"I know. Fern broke free of Adeline and disappeared into the grass.

The wait was long, especially in the sultry afternoon, although the weather was 'overcast' and there was no sun in the woods, but the hot and humid climate still made everyone sweat, sweat wet everyone's hair, the long hair of the 'women' children stuck to their faces, and their clothes were already soaked, as if they had just been fished out of the water.

Barred kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, keeping his eyes fixed on Adeline's back, as if the slightest negligence on his part would cause the Great Sage to disappear from his sight and never be found again.

Just as Stan is about to take it anymore and want to check it out, suddenly the mercenary screams. "Ness!"

"This idiot!" Adeline cursed as well, and immediately ran forward, and everyone quickly stood up and followed.

The trees crossed on both sides, and knee-high weeds made it very inconvenient for everyone to run, but they didn't have time to think about it, so they kept running forward, and the back of the mercenary crouching appeared in their eyes. "Fern, what are you doing!" Stan shouted, the first to burst out of the woods.

The clearing was unusually calm, except for the heavy breathing of everyone, there was no sound, Adeline glanced around, only to see several corpses of black-robed mages lying on the ground, and some demon stumps scattered everywhere, the great sage walked towards Fern, and the mercenary knelt on one knee, holding Nessy in his arms.

Ruiya walked over. "Ness, what's wrong with her?"

Fern carefully flicked a pinch of 'mess' behind Ness's ear. "I don't know, when I got here, all I saw was Niss lying on the ground, but she was still breathing, but she was unconscious. ”

Adeline placed her hand on Ness's forehead, and the Great Sage's brow tightened. "My speculation turned into reality, the last thing I wanted to see. ”

Jasmina walked into Fern and asked with concern. "You're saying that Hayshue tried to free the Lord of Darkness without waiting for Aloisius to get his hands on the Hallows?"

"That's right. Adeline sighed and removed her hand. "Ness's power has been 'drained' to the extent that it is enough for the ritual, and Haysuin must have received the seal, and he will perform the ritual tonight. ”

Nerfi looked at the Great Sage suspiciously. "Why did he leave Ness here and not take him with him? he should have understood that Ness's use of the Hallows was a threat to the Dark Lord. ”

Jarena held her chin. "He's worried that if we take Ness, we'll be able to find him, he's been a guard, and he must know that Fern can sense Ness's location. ”

"Then he could have killed Ness, so that we wouldn't find him, and he wouldn't have a future to suffer. Nigel spoke, only to see Fern glaring at him fiercely. "I'm just telling you the truth, Fern, don't you think it's strange?"

Adeline tilted her head in confusion. "It's strange, what the hell is he trying to do, isn't ......?"

"What is it?" asked Fern impatiently.

"Don't bother guessing, no one can 'see' into his heart, I know that guy. Barred walked over to Fern and patted him on the shoulder. "At least Ness is alive, and that's enough. ”

"Ness is still alive, but we can't find Hayshuin, so we can't stop the ritual, what should we do?" Nerfi brushed the hair from her face with the back of her hand.

Adeline was about to answer, when a magical beep sounded behind her, and the Great Sage turned her head alertly, and a black vortex gradually grew larger, revealing a black-robed mage with an old face and black hair. "Aloisius!?"
