In the three days since they started, Evelyn and Terami had arrived in a chill. In the town I just arrived, I could already see the scenery of the snow-capped mountains in the distance. The white castle climbed the mountain and loomed in the clouds halfway up the mountain.

Coming all the way from the glorious avenue, it is not difficult to find traces of snow in the places you pass. Evelyn guides Tyrami to a stop at an inn called "Ice Lake" for one last break before entering Atlantis.

The two handed over the horses to the keeper in the inn yard and entered the inn lobby.

"Helped us look after the horses, and in addition, needed two rooms. Terami stepped forward, then pulled out a gold coin and placed it in front of the innkeeper.

The owner is a young Lonellan with gray hair. When he saw the coin, he looked at Terami with disdain, much to the latter's surprise. Gold coins were the most valuable of the common currencies in the Eastern Continent, and one gold coin was more than enough for what he needed.

"What's the matter, isn't that enough?" said Tellamy.

"No, it's not. The boss waved his hand, "We stopped using gold coins half a year ago, and now we only use dragon pattern coins. He explained.

"Dragon-patterned coin?" Terami looked suspicious, the term was so unfamiliar to him, and asked, "What's that?"

The boss seemed to have seen an unreasonable person, but after discovering that the clothes of the two were far from the same as those in this area, he lowered his voice and said: "You two are not locals, are you? I'm really sorry, at the foot of Atlantis City, I don't have the courage to do this business, I wonder if you two have dragon coins?"

"Heh, how can this be reasonable, Dragon Pattern Coins?" Terami's expression was a little ugly, and beneath the surface of the currency was obviously the new deal of Atlantis City, "This is to sever ties with other major cities in the Eastern Continent?"

Evelyn stopped Tellamy, who was having a seizure, and reminded, "He's just a small shopkeeper, and he can't do anything about it." Let's go directly to Yacheng and look at the root cause to solve the problem. ”

Terami's hand on the hilt of his sword hesitated but let go, and he noticed the scattered guests in the hall looking at them in horror, except for the fearful boss on his face.

Eventually, Terami nodded and replied, "Okay." ”

The two were about to leave, when a slightly hoarse voice stopped them.

"Wait, two. I have dragon coins here, and I just want to exchange them for some gold. As...... Give it to me?"

Following the prestige, the source of the voice, the man was dressed in a dark blue cloak, the brim of which was pressed low, and the shadow obscured half of his face. Silvery-white hair was slightly dry, draped over his shoulders and covered by a cloak. His lips were not moist, and the wind and frost of the journey were unobstructed on his little-exposed face.

Evelyn noticed that the owner at the bar was deliberately avoiding the past, and the travelers in the hall were equally reluctant to talk to the man. And this man is trying his best to raise the corners of his mouth. It's just that the smile used to show friendship seems extremely deliberate.

"How?" said Tellamy.

"Two to one, two gold coins for one dragon coin. I think...... You don't lose. The blue-robed man took out a bag from his bosom, weighed it in his hand, and added, "I have fifty here." ”

Terami frowned slightly, but didn't hesitate too much, neatly pulled out a money bag and handed it to the man.

"Refreshing. After completing the transaction, the man didn't say much, and turned back to his seat—a wooden table in the far corner, lit only by a candle, made him look particularly dark.

"That's it. Terami exchanged the dragon pattern coin and handed it to the boss, but the man still reluctantly accepted it, beckoning Terami to come closer.

He lowered his voice and said, "I see that the two of you should also be prominent people, I advise you to stay away from him, he is a wanderer, he has been in the town for a few days, and the people here can avoid him......"

"Wanderer?" Terami smiled, "get me three more ales." ”

With that, Terami and Evelyn tacitly walked to the table in the corner, after all, at the foot of Atlantis City, a wanderer often has a lot of information that ordinary people don't have.

"Oh, the two of you are really bold, I can hear what the shopkeeper said. The two men were about to sit down, but the man spoke first. He slowly lifted his hat, and an almost exaggerated scar was carved into the right side of his face through the middle of his eyelid. His pupils were dark blue and completely grayish-white, most likely destroyed.

"Elves?"

Evelyn and Terami were a little surprised, the man in the dark blue cloak was obviously an elf, and it was an incredible thing for an elf to become a "wanderer" in the entire Eastern Continent.

"Yes. The elf's smile was shriveled, and if half of his face was undamaged, it was clearly a handsome face. Unfortunately, the scar was exaggerated, it was the mark that the main city had carved on the wanderer, and it was destined to stay with him forever.

"They look like they're going to Atlantis? The wanderer's voice was low, and he took a large sip from the glass he had at hand, then coughed dryly.

"What do you call it?" Evelyn took the wanderer's words, but did not answer his question.

"Wanderers are. That's what they all call me. The wanderer wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and this informal movement was very different from the noble and strict image of the elves.

"Alright, wanderer. So, can you tell us a little bit about the before and after of the Dragon Coins?" Evelyn didn't ask, that wasn't her primary concern.

"Oh...... Dragon Pattern Coins. No problem, I'll think about how to say it...... By the way, maybe it's a status symbol, this statement should be more appropriate. The wanderer calmly replied, "Atlantis, His Majesty the Regent, and the dragon knight general, if you believe me, they are leading the new policy of the entire city of Atlantis, and it will be difficult for the races outside of the Digans to live here." Of course, of course...... This is just the beginning, new alliances are being formed, and the old order is no longer recognized by the 'City of Kings'. ”

The hoarse voice recounted the events and the dark clouds over the town to create an oppressive atmosphere, and the wanderer continued, looking at Evelyn as if Terami was an unrelated passerby.

"A few months ago, the same small town belonging to the Lonellan people did not agree that the new currency would completely replace gold. Guess what...... How's it going?"

"Heh, gold coins are second only to the common language in time as the universal currency of the Eastern Continent, and if you don't use it, you won't use it, after all, the big alliance between several main cities still exists. Tellami laughed.

The wanderer shook his head and continued, "That being said, that town no longer exists. The dragon knight's dragon flame reduced it to ashes, leaving no one alive. ”

"What?!"

Terami's eyes widened and he questioned loudly. The wanderer, on the other hand, calmly drank as if he had become accustomed to these things. And that's exactly what happened.

"Since there are no survivors, how do you know about it?" Evelyn asked calmly.

The wanderer sneered. "That's why I was left with this scar. ”

Silence replaced everything, and the flickering candlelight reflected on the faces of the three people sitting around the table. Terami knew that if the Wanderer's account was true, there would be no way forward for the alliance negotiations. The truth of the xenomorph attack has not yet been discovered, and it has been learned that the so-called "city of kings" has been engaged in this kind of action for half a year, and the so-called alliance negotiations are afraid that it will be another cold war.

"Let me say more. The wanderer broke the silence, "The Silverwing Guardian has been eliminated. ”

He stared at Evelyn, his voice low but legible.

Evelyn smiled lightly and said, "Why are you telling me this?"

"I'm guessing you're Evelyn Starlight, right. The wanderer said, seeing Evelyn frown slightly and silent, he continued to explain, "Even if I don't know anyone, I know this sword, 'Starlight'. ”

As soon as these words came out, the two of them, including Tellamy, did not dare to question all the words of the wanderer. Although the Star Sword Blade is famous, it is only a few that can be recognized at a glance. Ten years ago, when Evelyn fled Atlantis, the Ascent Sword disappeared with her, not to mention that in all these years, Evelyn never showed her head, only doing remote bounty missions to earn a living.

As for becoming the ultimate mentor, it is believed that the speed of this matter is not so fast, and even many young people in Queen City do not know what the position of the Silver Wing Guard of Atlantis City is.

"Looks like I'm not mistaken. The wanderer took the last sip of the ale in his glass and slammed it back on the table, "That's all I have to say, two, take your time." ”

With that, he stood up, pulled up his cloak and hat on his head, and walked out the door. His steps were a little staggering, he limped, and the right half of his body seemed to be withered. Strangely, his speed was not slow, and after a while, he disappeared from view as night fell.

"This man is not simple. Evelyn lowered her voice, "I just don't know what his intentions are." ”

Terami lifted one leg and stepped on the stool, sat against the wall, and took a deep breath: "Fortunately, it's all useful information, probably a reminder, right?

Evelyn thought about it for a moment and replied affirmatively, "No, I'm sure I don't know him." ”

Tyrami shrugged and said, "Well, after all, you were once the Silver Wing Guard of Atlantis, and there are many people who know you after all. Terami deliberately accentuated the words "Silverwing", which wasn't loud enough for Evelyn to hear.

Evelyn was silent, she couldn't understand what the Diggan people around her were dissatisfied with, but she didn't think deeply. As for the hurdle that can't be crossed in her heart, it is that the wanderer is clearly waiting for her, and she has already undergone a fundamental change compared to ten years ago, but the elf is not surprised.

"What is sacred?"

A bad premonition hung over Evelyn.
