"Dead knights, living knights, I don't know which one is worse. Hubble grunted and dragged Wade behind Drake.

The joke wasn't funny at all, and Hubble's fear of death made his companions cry and laugh.

"What if this is an evil weapon?" Stone whispered to Lorana as the two made their way through the cold passages of the castle.

Lolana glanced back at the knight on the dragon's back, noncommittally nununs.

The sun in the Far South began to set palely, and its light cast a water-colored afterimage on the corpses, making their appearance look a little creepy.

Even at this point, she felt like she saw the corpse move.

"Do you believe Shuma's story?" asked Lolana softly.

"I don't know what to believe anymore. There was a palpable sadness in Stone's voice.

"In the past, everything was just black and white for me, everything was clearly divided and very clearly defined. I believe in the story of Shuma.

My mother taught me it as truth. Then I went to Solania. He fell silent, as if unwilling to speak.

Finally, noticing that Lolana's expression was full of sympathy and curiosity, he swallowed and continued. "I never told anyone, not even Robert.

When I returned home, I found that knights were no longer the group that my mother had called honorable and self-sacrificing as virtues.

It has degenerated into a group that eats the old, pays attention to form, and fights against each other.

The best is like Drake, who keeps his honor, but doesn't know how to be flexible or how to think about those who are below him.

However, what's worse—" He shook his head.

"When I mention Shuma, they laugh. Ronin Knight, that's what they call him.

According to them, he was expelled from the Order for not following the rules of the Order.

Shuma wandered around the countryside, doing the same thing as a farmer, and began his legend. ”

"But does he really exist?" asked Lorana, feeling sorry for Stone.

"Oh, yes! Written records of escaping the cataclysm list him as a low-ranking knight.

But no one believes the Silver Dragon, the final battle, or even the Divine Dragon Slayer.

Like Derek said, there is no evidence. Legend has it that Shuma's tomb is a towering minaret, a wonder of the world.

But you won't find anyone who has seen it. As Rodlis said, all we have are bedside stories. ”

Stone covered his eyes with his hands and sighed deeply.

"You know what?" he said softly, "I never expected me to say that, but I miss Rodrith.

I miss each and every one of them. I felt as if a part of me had been cut off, just as I felt when I went to Sorenia.

That's why I gave up the knighthood exam and came back. These people, my friends. In this war against evil, more effort and cost than the knights lined up.

Even Rodlis can explain the meaning of these actions in a way that I don't understand. He pointed to the frozen knight with his thumb, "At least he'll believe this." If Robert is here—" Stone's tone became a little choked and he couldn't say any more.

"Yes. Lolana said quietly, "If Robert is here—"

Stone remembered that her heavy sorrow was far greater than his own, and he couldn't help but hug Lolana into his arms.

The two men stood in silence for a moment, comforting their hearts because of each other.

Then, Drake's voice pierced through the silence of the moment, reminding them to keep up with the crowd.

At this moment, the broken spear grip, the dragon ball, and Robert's dragon sword slept silently on the bottom of the cabin.

Next to the chest were the bodies of two young knights, who had died heroically to protect the others, and they were ready to be transported back to their hometown for burial.

The strong southerly winds that blew from the glacial region allowed their boats to sail north through the Western Li'an Sea.

The captain said that if all went well, they would be able to reach St. Quest in two days.

'That's South Atlantis. The captain told Elistan, pointing to the front of the ship. "We'll see its southernmost point first.

We will be able to see Christina Island tonight. As long as the wind is good, we will soon arrive in Atlantis.

There's been some strange things going on in South Atlantis lately," the captain said, looking at Lorana.

"I haven't been there lately, but rumors have it that there are a lot of elves pouring in. ”

"Elf!" said Lolana anxiously, as she stood beside the captain, her cloak crackling in the morning wind.

"I've heard that they fled their homes. The captain continued, "He was driven away by the army of dragonmen. ”

"Maybe they're our compatriots!" Lolana clung to Girsenas, who was standing beside her, and stared intently at the side of the ship, as if she wanted to make her destination appear sooner by willpower.

"Most likely, the Sivanasti elves. Gircenas said. "In fact, I remember that Ms. Albert mentioned plans for Atlantis.

Stone, do you remember?"

"No!" replied the knight suddenly. He turned and walked to the other side of the boat, leaned against the mast, and stared at the morning sun.

Lolana noticed that he had taken something out of his belt and played with it lovingly.

When the sun hit it, there was a strong reflection, and then he took it back and lowered his head.

Lolana wanted to step forward to comfort him, but suddenly stopped.

"Where are the strange clouds in the southern sky?"

The captain immediately turned around and took out his binoculars from his vest pocket to take a closer look.

"Send a man to the lookout," he shouted to the first mate. One of the sailors immediately climbed the mast, grabbed the full sail in one hand and looked south with a telescope in the other.

"Can you tell?" the captain shouted into the sky.

"No, Captain. The man bowed his head and said. If it's a cloud, it's a cloud I've never seen before. “

"I want to see!" said Wade on his own initiative, and the Kander began to climb the mast as skillfully as the sailors, and after going up to the lookout, he looked south with the sailors.

It does look a lot like a cloud, very large, white, and floating in the sky.

But it moved faster than the other clouds in the sky, and—Wade was taken aback.

"Lend me a look!" he held out his hand to the sailor to pass the telescope. The sailor's heart was reluctantly handed over to him.

Wade looked into the binoculars and let out an expletive. "Oh, shit!" he muttered, putting down the binoculars and absentmindedly tucking them into his trouser pockets.

Just as he was about to slip back to the deck along the rope, the sailor grabbed him by the neckline.

"What's wrong?" Fince startled. "Oh, is this yours? I'm sorry. ”

He thoughtfully patted the telescope and returned it to the sailor. Wade slid down the rope with great dexterity and landed lightly on the deck, panting for stone.

"It's a dragon," he gasped, "but it didn't look that scary."

The dragon's name is Ice and Snow. She is a white dragon and is born smaller than other dragons.

Born and raised in the polar regions, they can endure extreme cold and dominate the frozen terrain of the extreme south of Iskandar.

Due to their small size, the White Dragon is the fastest flying of all the dragons in Candela.

Dragoons will usually use them for reconnaissance missions. So when the group entered her lair in the glacier and searched for the dragon balls, she happened to be out on a mission.

After the darkness, a report was received that a group of adventurers had entered Sivanastia, and somehow they managed to defeat the Blue Scarlet Fury and obtain one of the Dragon Balls.

After darkness, it was speculated that they might pass through the Plains of Ash and follow the Imperial Avenue to St. Quest, where intelligence revealed that the Solanian knights were trying to regroup.

After darkness, send Bingxue and her group of white dragons to rush to the ash plain, which is covered in snow, to find the location of the Dragon Balls.

Seeing the glittering snow beneath the ice, I guess that even humans would not be stupid enough to try to cross this frozen land in such a situation.

But she still obeyed the orders she received.

The snow and ice scattered the entire group, and the squads were ordered to thoroughly search every inch of land from west of Sivanasti to east of the Caroli Mountains.

Several of her white dragons even flew to the New Shore in the far north, which was currently under the control of the Blue Dragon.

When the dragons rendezvous, they found that there was no news of the intruders, and at the same time, Ice was informed, and while she was scouting at the border, danger had crept up on its gates.

Bingxue rushed back in a rage, only to find that it was too late. Felthas is dead, and the Dragon Balls are gone.

But her alliance of walrusmen, the Tanoi, described to her the untraceable adventurers.

They even pointed out the direction in which the ship sailed out to sea, although there was only one direction from the beginning to the end: the north.

After Ice and Snow report the news of the disappearance of the Dragon Balls to the darkness, the other party is even more furious and terrified. I lost two Dragon Balls!

Although she knew that her evil forces were still invincible in Candela, she still felt that the forces of justice were still fighting her on the continent after the darkness.

Among these people, there may be someone who is smart enough to discover the secrets of Dragon Ball.

Therefore, Ice received the order to find the Dragon Ball and bring it directly to the Darkness. Under no circumstances will the Dragon Balls be allowed to be lost again after darkness.

Dragon Ball itself has a high level of intelligence, and at the same time, it also has a very strong survival instinct.

That's because of this instinct. They can survive even when the Creator is dead.

Ice and snow flew across the Sirian Sea, and her strong and powerful wings soon brought her close to the sight of the big ship.

But at the moment Bingxue faced a very interesting problem, and she was not ready to face it.

Perhaps in order to breed and experiment with the hardy reptiles, the white dragons became the stupidest of the dragons.

Ice and snow never had to think about much of it before. Felthas would always tell her what to do.

Therefore, as she hovered over the ship, she couldn't help but be puzzled by the question in front of her: how was she going to get the Dragon Balls?

At first, she planned to freeze the entire ship with extremely cold freezing air.

But she soon discovered that doing so was nothing more than sealing the dragon balls in a cloud of frozen wood, which made it harder for her to complete the task. Before she tore it apart, it could sink to the bottom of the sea.

Even if she succeeds in destroying the ship, there is a chance that the Dragon Ball will fall into the sea on its own.

It was too hard to grab the ship and fly to land. The snow swirled in the air, thinking about what to do, and she could clearly see the humans below scurrying around like frightened mice.

The white dragon had thought of seeking her guidance after informing the darkness with an electrocardiogram. But Bingxue really didn't want her master to find out about her ignorance and ignorance.

The dragon hovered over the ship all day, wondering what to do with the people below.

She floated easily in the air, and the majesty she exuded scared the humans below into the gods.

Then, just before the sun was about to set, Ice and Snow had an idea. She immediately acted on it without thinking about it.

The news of Wade's sighting of the White Dragon quickly sent the whole ship into a panic, and they armed themselves, and although everyone knew what the final outcome would be, he was ready to fight until the last moment.

Both Gilcenas and Lolana were experienced archers, and they began to wind up their arrows.

Stone and Drake clenched their swords and shields in their hands, and Wade raised his Hoppak staff.

Hubble tried to get out of bed, but he couldn't even stand on his feet, and Elistan calmly prayed to Paladin.

"It is better for me to believe in the old man and his god than in my sword. Drake said to Stone.

"The knights have always honored Paladin, and you cannot desecrate our long-standing faith. Stone replied incredulously.

"I do respect her, those memories of her. Derek said. "Bright Brad, I'm bothered by these rumors about Paladin's return.

When the Knights' Council heard this, they must have thought the same way as me.

You'd better be prepared, because I'm sure the same questions will arise when you are a knight. ”

Stone bit his lower lip and swallowed his anger like a bitter medicine.

After a long time, everyone looked at the white figure in the sky without distraction, but they could do nothing, so they had to keep looking.

They waited and waited and waited

The white dragon never attacked, and like them, she seemed to be waiting for something.

And what they are waiting for seems to be very different, one is to get to the other side as soon as possible. The other is waiting for the best time to attack and recapture the Dragon Balls.

However, what awaits them is the shadow of death after all.
