"Why are you in a daze again, what are you thinking? Are you still thinking about your flying battleship's energy?"

It's been a few days since I returned from an outing outside the Marreno border. Su Wen and his group of five people set off for their home after playing around the peaks around the no-man's land, and when they left, the investigation team of the snow castle was still wandering around the no-man's land.

After returning to the snow castle for a short stay for two days, Su Wen drove the battleship and took Ellie and Mia back to Shelton City, where Ellie's grandmother lived.

This small courtyard on the outskirts of Shelton City is also Ellie's current "home".

After such a long period of use, the energy spar scraped from the puppet of Mia's metal bird's body has also run out of energy, and the battleship can no longer be activated, so it can only fall in the rugged mountains southwest of the village, and use a series of camouflage methods to hide.

"Ah, I didn't think about anything. ”

"Really?" Ellie said with a suspicious expression, "I see you've been wandering around for the past few days, as if you've been around since you came back from there...... Could it be that the hole and those monsters make you care a lot?"

Su Wen shook her head and denied it, but Ellie couldn't tell if Su Wen really denied it or was lying.

Like Su Wen's original world, in this world, in the Maleno Empire, there is also a festival of family reunion in the deep winter season, which is also the dividing line between the old year and the new year, and it can also be regarded as the New Year.

The adventurer's service area in Padding Town was deserted, but the city of Shelton was bustling with activity.

Because those who work or study in other places have also returned to their hometowns to spend the last time of the year with their families.

Due to the disparity in the level of productivity, in the cold winter, the production activities of the entire Marreno empire also stopped due to changes in temperature and environment. It's not like in the Suwen world, which works all year round.

Therefore, the winter vacation is extraordinarily long.

But this winter break, for people with some special occupations, is not as leisurely as in previous years. After all, not long ago, there was a terrorist attack on the Imperial Academy, and the purge of the Ancient Demon Sect personally ordered by Emperor Malenor was also in full swing.

For ordinary people, life has not been affected, at most after tea and dinner, there is a little more interesting conversation.

Although he didn't care about it, Su Wen also inadvertently learned about the progress of the matter.

According to these gossip, this clean-up operation has already achieved initial results, and with the efforts of all units, a total of more than 10 strongholds of the Ancient Demon Sect, large and small, have been uprooted, more than 30 relevant personnel have been seized, and the items seized are even more.

An organization organized by a group of crazy people, of course, is no match for the power of the state apparatus, although their leader and headquarters have not yet been discovered, but the losses so far have almost cost the ancient demon sect half a life.

When Su heard the news of their return, it soon spread to Baron Shetton. He was supposed to focus on the clean-up operation, but he also squeezed out a day in his busy schedule to visit Su Wen.

Baron Shetton's actions also made most of the unknown Shelton officials look at this ordinary-looking small suburban courtyard differently, and they are all speculating about the identity of the old man living in this courtyard.

She hadn't seen her grandmother for a long time, and Ellie had almost endless things to tell Linda, and Linda listened to them very comfortably, and she couldn't get tired of listening to them for days.

Linda's eyebrows were also full of relief that "her granddaughter has grown up".

Su Wen also asked Mia again if she wanted to take advantage of the holiday to go home, but Mia still refused.

During their return, Ellie and Mia also bought a lot of festive supplies from the market in Seton City to decorate the small courtyard with a new and festive atmosphere.

Although they didn't say anything on the surface, Ellie and Mia both noticed Su Wen's strangeness. If it were according to the usual appearance, Su Wen would also enjoy this festive atmosphere, right? But now, he simply wrote the three words "something on his mind" on his face.

Ellie and Mia both asked, but they got the same answer.

Since Su Wen didn't want to say it, the two didn't ask any more, and the leisure days went on day by day.

And Su Wen, too, sighed from time to time when neither of them noticed.

"It seems that I can't remember anything except me......"

It all started with the ascent of the Maleno, of course.

The night before she decided to climb the mountain, Ellie mentioned that she always felt that there was something on top of the mountain. But apparently, after a poor night's sleep, she forgot about it.

Until the summit was reached, no one realized that something was wrong.

Except for Su Wen.

Approaching the peak, a strange wave of magic spread out, enveloping everyone at once. Except for Su Wen, everyone else fell into a standstill.

The range of this circle of magic fluctuations covered the entire Maleno Peak, and just when Su Wen was curious, a voice came from the top of the peak that was not far away, and communicated with Su Wen.

The content of the exchange can be said to be the most shocking information for him since Su Wen woke up.

The first sentence of that consciousness was "Are you awake?", and then, through dialogue, Su Wen understood the identity of this consciousness.

This consciousness is a giant dragon. It is in this world that the mighty beings live in the ancient legends and library texts!

To be more precise, it was an ancient dragon that had buried its body in the middle of Maleno Peak and was in a semi-dormant state! At the same time, this dragon was also a friend that Su Wen had known when he woke up one time before.

Regarding the memory of the dragon, Su Wen also took it back from the entire mountain, and to his surprise, the entire Maleno Peak was a "memory gem" that stored his memory.

I don't know if it's because it's too old and my memory has been lost, or if there are only so many things stored, and Su Wen can only recall a little.

After a man and a dragon talked about the old for a while, Su Wen asked the dragon a few questions, and then got an answer that made his jaw drop.

One of Su Wen's questions was about his enemy, the intelligence of that "system".

The dragon's answer was that the so-called system had been cleaned up by Su Wen himself in a certain era............ Clean it up with your own hands!

This answer made Su Wen stunned directly in place.

Is there ...... mistake?
