Chapter 284: Stunned

"Then you can tell us - where the dragon legions are now, what are they doing -"

"Well, you should know as well as I do. Estlea turned again.

Lorana looked around. She saw the knights and generals waiting to see her jokes.

She knew she was starting to look like a spoiled kid again, but she had to get answers!

Estellae had reached the door, and the servant had opened it.

Lolana glanced angrily at the others, and walked briskly past the waxed marble floor, stepping on the skirt many times in a hurry.

Estleia heard her footsteps and stopped at the door.

"I have two questions," she asked softly, leaning close to him.

"Okay. He looked at her green pupils and replied, "One in your head, one in your heart."

So let's ask the first one first. โ€

"Are there any other secret treasures of the dragon god?"

Estleia was silent for a moment, and Lolana saw pain in his eyes again, his face, which made people unreachable, suddenly grow old.

"Yes," he finally said.

"That's all I can tell you. There is indeed another one. But that secret treasure of the dragon god, you can neither find it nor use it. So don't think about it. โ€

Robert found the one. Lorana asked. Does that mean he lost it?

He-" She hesitated, and that was the question she really wanted to ask, "where is he?"

"Don't think about it. โ€

"What do you mean?" said Lorana, as if frozen in the cold voice.

"I can't predict the future. I can only watch the present become the past.

I've been doing this since the beginning of time.

I have seen love that is willing to sacrifice everything, and it brings hope into the world.

I've also seen attempts to overcome pride, the power of the love of time, but failed.

The world has become darker because of its failures, but it is nothing more than a dark cloud that obscures the sun.

The sun, which symbolizes human love, has not disappeared.

I've also seen love lost in the dark. The misunderstood and misplaced love is only because of the earth or her, and she does not understand her own heart. โ€

"You're playing a dumb riddle. Lolana said angrily.

"Like?" Estleia asked, nodding her head.

"Goodbye, Lorana Serasa. I advise you: focus on the mission you are carrying. โ€

Historians walk out the door.

Lolana looked at his back and repeated his words: "Love lost in the dark." Was it a riddle, or did she know the answer.

It's just that as Estella suggests, she refuses to admit it?

"'I left Robert in Florosan and let him take care of what happened after I left. "'Ella said that.

Ella - is the evil dragoon, and Ella - is also Robert's beloved.

Suddenly, the pain in Lorana's chest was gone, the pain that had remained since she spoke to Ella.

All that was left was nothingness, like a void left by the absence of two constellations in the night sky.

"Love lost in the dark. "Robert is lost.

That was what Estellae was trying to tell her. Concentrate on your mission.

Yes, she had to concentrate on her mission, because that was the only thing she had left.

Lorana turned to face Lord Recross and all the generals, her blonde hair glistening in the candlelight.

"I accept command of all troops," her voice was almost as cold as her soul.

"It's called a stone carving!" Hubble said contentedly, stepping on the fortifications of the old city walls.

"There is no doubt that this is the work of the dwarves. You see how each stone is cut with incredible precision, fitted perfectly into every wall.

Here, no stone is the same. โ€

"It's funny. Wade said with a yawn. "Did the dwarves also build the tower we sawโ€”"

"Don't mention it!" Hubble yelled. "The dwarves didn't build the Tower of the Void Master at all.

It was the wizards who used their own power to use magic to raise the stone from the ground and reshape it into the shape of the building. โ€

"Awesome!" Wade took a deep breath and woke up.

"I wish I could seeโ€”"

"It's nothing. The dwarf glared at Wade and continued to say loudly, "It's a far cry from the hundreds of years that dwarven craftsmen spend hundreds of years trying to perfect their work.

You look at this stone. Take a good look at the marks of the axe and chisel on itโ€”"

"Lolana is here. Wade thankfully said, glad it was finally over the boring lesson on dwarf buildings.

As Lolana approached a dark hallway, Hubble looked away from the stone.

She put on the armor she wore in the Tower of the Dharma King again, the blood stains had been wiped from the gilded breastplate, and the dents from the battle had been repaired.

Blonde hair, flowing from the fuchsia helmet, glistened in the light of Thorinari.

Her pace was not fast, and her eyes were fixed on the mountains on the eastern horizon, which turned into a distinct black shadow under the starry sky.

The moonlight was sprinkled on her face, and Hubble looked at her and sighed.

"She's changed. โ€

He whispered to Wade, "Elves are supposed to never change.

Do you remember when we met her in Wellington?

But in the fall, six months ago. Now it looks like yearsโ€”"

She hadn't forgotten Stone's death.

It's only been a week. Wade's face showed a rare serious expression.

"It's not just that. The old dwarf shook his head. "It has something to do with her encounter with Ella at the Tower of the King.

It may have something to do with what Ella said or did. She's damned!" the dwarf yelled angrily.

"Even before, I never trusted her, and I wasn't surprised to see her in the armor of a dragoon.

I'm willing to use the mountains of steel coins to find out what she did to Lorana that day to make her whole person so gloomy.

After Blue Dragon and Ella left, we took her down from the wall, and her face was ugly and scary.

I bet with my beard. The dwarf muttered, "I think it must have something to do with Robert." โ€

"It's hard for me to believe that Ella is going to be a dragoon. She's always ...... ...... all the time."

Wade searched for the right words. "Well, it's funny,"

"Interesting?" Hubble frowned. "Perhaps, but also cold and selfish.

Oh, if she wanted to, she could look very attractive. Hubble lowered his voice.

Lolana was close enough to hear him. "Robert never found out.

He had always believed that there must be more to Ella's exterior. He thought he was the only one who could understand Ella, and she wrapped her tender heart in a hard shell.

Ha, it's a pity that her heart is as hard as a stone. โ€

"Any news, Lorana?" Wade asked the elf excitedly.

Lolana smiled at her old friend, but, as Hubble said, it was no longer the smile that Lolana had when she walked under the aspen trees of Wellington, the innocent smile.

Her smile was cold now, like a weak sun in the cold winter.

The light was dazzling, but it was not warm, perhaps because her eyes were full of frost.

"I'm the commander of all the troops. She said blankly.

"K-" Wade swallowed the words back when he saw her expression.

"Nothing to congratulate. Lolana said sadly. "Who can I command? A handful of knights, trapped in the ruined positions of the Mengjia Mountains, more than a thousand soldiers standing on the walls. โ€

She clenched her fists and looked at the sky with the first peep in the east.

"We should get out of the walls, right now!

We can easily defeat them.

But no, we didn't dare to go to the plains, even with dragon slaying guns.

They are helpless against dragons that can fly in the sky.

If we had a dragon god's secret treasureโ€”"

She fell silent suddenly, then took a deep breath, her face turning pale.

"We don't have it anyway. Fantasy doesn't help either. So we had to stand in the fortifications of Recross, and wait for our death. โ€

"Listen, Lorana. Hubble cleared his throat and began to retort, "Maybe things aren't that bad.

The walls of the city were very strong. A thousand soldiers could easily hold it, and the dwarfs' catapults could hold the port.

The knights can hold the only passage in the Minga Mountains, and we have sent reinforcements to reinforce them. We still have dragon slaying spears in our hands.

Not much on hand, but Swart sent a message that more was on the way.

What if we can't deal with dragons in flight?

"That's not enough, Hubble," Lorana sighed.

"Oh, of course, we might be able to hold off the dragon legion for a week or two, or even a month.

But what about then, what happens when they take control of the land around us?

The only way we can deal with dragons is to hide in a little safety cover.

Soon the world will become an isolated island of light, surrounded by darkness.

Then, one by one, the darkness will consume us all. โ€

Lolana leaned on the wall with her chin in her hand.

"How long ago did you last go to sleep?" asked Hubble with a solemn face.

"I don't know. She replied.

"My wakefulness and sleep time seem to be mixed up.

I sleepwalk half the time and sleep in the real world half of the time. Lolana said with a blank face, and she looked from the city wall to the vast forest in the distance, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

"If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't follow Robert out, let alone come into contact with the bloody storm of the outside world. Lolana said with a melancholy face, her heart was already exhausted.

"Robert is no longer worthy of my liking. Lolana was startled by the thought that popped into her mind, and then fell into deep thought.
