"They all want to go, but—" He found himself reminded of their desperate appearance, unable to continue. He shook his head.

Gilsenas looked at the finely carved table and absentmindedly touched the texture on it.

"I have to go," Robert said heavily, and began to walk towards the door.

"I have a lot of things to do. We were planning to leave in the middle of the night, after Solinari fell—"

"Wait. Gilthenus put his hand on the half-elf's arm.

"I- I want to tell you...... I'm sorry for going too far. Don't, Robert, don't go.

Hear me out. It wasn't easy for me. Gilsenas paused.

"I learned a lot, Robert. About myself.

Those lessons cost me a lot. When I heard about what happened to Lorana...... I forgot those lessons.

I was angry, scared, and wanted someone to vent my anger. You are the nearest target.

Everything Lolana does is for the love of you. I'm still learning something like this, Robert. At least I tried to learn. There was a heavy pressure in his voice.

"Most of the time all I learned was pain. But that's my own problem. ”

Robert looked at him carefully now. Girsenas's hand was still on his shoulder.

"After I had time to think, I now understood," continued Girsenas, "that Lolana was doing the right thing.

She must go, or her love will be meaningless. She believes in you, and is willing to rush to you as soon as she hears your bad deeds, even if it means that she must go to that evil place—"

Robert's head was down.

Gilcenas clung to him, both hands on his shoulders.

"Telos Ionfield once said that he had never seen in his life that what was done for love was evil.

We've got to believe that, Robert.

Everything Lolana does is for love. What you have to do now is also for love. God will bless you. ”

"Did they bless Stone too?" Robert asked rudely. "He also has love!"

"Don't they have? How do you know?"

Robert's hand took Gireenas' hand. He shook his head.

He wanted to believe that it sounded great, very good...... Just like the legend of the Wyvern.

As a child, he also wanted to believe that there were dragons......

Robert sighed and turned away from the elf.

When Gilsenas spoke again, his hand was on the doorknob.

"Goodbye...... Brothers. ”

The people met at the wall, and found at the Telokosi, which led to the secret passage outside.

Girsenas could, of course, allow them to leave through the main entrance, but the less known about the journey, the better.

Now they gathered in a small room at the top of the staircase.

Sorinari sank right into the mountains in the distance. Robert stood far away from the others, watching the last glimmer of silver light shine on the terrifying exterior of the giant flying fortress overhead.

He could see the floating castle, shooting an eerie glow. The black figure moved around.

Who lived in that terrible thing—the dragonmen, or the black-robed wizards and priests who had floated this terrible monster above the clouds?

Behind him, he could hear the whispered conversations of the others, except for Berclery.

Calamon followed the Eternal Man reluctantly, and the two of them stood at a distance from the others, a look of fear in their eyes.

For a long time Robert looked at them, and then sighed.

He was about to face another separation, and this time it made him feel extra sad, and he wondered if he could afford it.

He turned slightly, and saw the last rays of Solinari's rays shining on Scarlet Moon's beautiful gold and silver hair.

He saw her calm, serene face, even as she prepared to embark on a dark and dangerous journey.

He knew he had strength again. He sighed, left the window, and returned to the group.

"Is the time up?" Wade asked urgently.

Robert laughed, and he reached out to touch Wade's ridiculous ponytail.

In a world that is constantly changing, the Kander people don't seem to change.

"Yes," said Robert, "the time has come." His eyes turned to the river breeze. "For some of us. ”

When the Plainsman saw the steady, unwavering eyes of the half-elf, the thoughts in his head reflected on his face, and to Robert they were as obvious as dark clouds drifting across the sky.

It was the first time that River Breeze didn't understand what he was saying, maybe he wasn't listening at all. Then he understood what Robert had just said.

Now that he understood, his face flushed, and anger welled up in his eyes.

Robert didn't say anything, he simply turned his gaze to Scarlet Moon.

River Wind looked at his wife, who was standing in the silver moonlight waiting, her mind drifting far away. She had a smile on her face.

This sweet smile is recent. Maybe she's watching her own children, frolicking in the sun.

Robert looked back at the river breeze. He saw the struggle of the Plainsmen, and Robert knew he would be willing—no, he would insist on following them, even if it meant he had to leave Scarlet Moon alone.

Robert stepped forward, put his hand on the tall man's shoulder, and looked directly into the plainman's black eyes.

"Your mission is done, friend," Robert said. "You've been with us long enough in the bitter cold of winter.

Here we have to part ways. Our path leads to an empty desert.

Your path will lead to a beautiful forest.

It is your duty to bring your son or daughter to this world in peace. ”

He now put his hand on Scarlet Moon's shoulder, pulling her closer, seeing that she was about to protest.

"The child will be born in the fall," Robert whispered, "when the maple turns red."

Don't shed a tear, darling. He put his arms around Crimson. "The maple trees will grow again.

You can bring a young warrior or a beautiful lady into Willow again, and you can tell them a story about two people who love each other and bring hope to a world ravaged by dragons. “

He kissed her beautiful hair.

Then Lena sobbed softly, taking his place and saying goodbye to Scarlet Moon.

Robert turned to face the Plainsman, and he removed the mask from his face, revealing the grief he had experienced.

Robert's teary eyes were blurry, and he could barely see anything clearly.

"Gilsenas is preparing to defend this city, and he will need your help. Robert cleared his throat.

"I pray to Heaven that you can end your long suffering now, but it seems that I will have to wait a little longer. ”

"God is always with us, my friend, my good brother," River Breeze wept silently and hugged Robert.

"May they also be with you. We will be here waiting for you to come back. ”

Thorinari fell behind the mountains. The only light in the night sky is the twinkling stars and the light in the fortress.

One by one, everyone said goodbye to the plains.

Then, following Wade, they quietly crossed the wall, entered another door, and descended another staircase.

Wade pushed open the bottom door, each with their weapons in hand, and cautiously stepped onto the plains.

For a long time, they leaned close to each other, looking at the wide plain in front of them.

Even in this darkness, it seemed that they would have a hard time escaping, the thousands of eyes on the Sky Fortress.

Robert stood beside Berclery, and could clearly feel that he was trembling with fear, and he was glad that he had sent Calamon to guard him.

Ever since Robert made it clear that they were going to Nairaka, the half-elf saw a look of madness in his blue eyes, like a trapped beast.

Robert found himself sympathetic to the man, and then he was forced to harden his heart.

The stakes are too big.

Beclaire is the key, and the answer lies with him, as well as on the Nairakar side.

How they were going to find out, Robert didn't know now, he only had a vague idea in his head.

Far away, the sound of a horn pierced the night sky.

An orange flame rose on the horizon. Dragonmen are burning down a small town.

Robert wrapped his cloak tightly. Although the spring equinox celebration has passed, there is still the smell of winter in the air.

"Let's go," he whispered.

One by one, he watched them run across the open prairie and into the bushes where the sidelines could be sheltered.

There, the smaller, faster brass dragons waited to carry them into the mountains.

Maybe it would be over tonight, Robert thought nervously, watching Wade run like a mouse.

If those dragons were discovered, if the people in the fortress saw them, it would be all over.

Berclerc will fall into the hands of the Dark, and their operation will be worthless.

When the time comes, darkness will cover the land, and all the filth and chaos will consume the creatures of the continent.

Lena followed Wade, running briskly and confidently. Hubble panted and ran behind.

The dwarves look older than before. Robert had thought that the dwarves didn't seem to be in good health, but it was impossible for a strong dwarf to agree to stay here.

Now Calamon began to run desperately, his armor making a metal crash.

A hand gripped Berclerc tightly and pulled him along the way. He felt his heart beat faster, thumping against his chest.

If their whereabouts are discovered by the Flying Fortress, the Dragoons will surely take the Eternal captive, which will make things worse.

The whole process had to be absolutely hidden, so Robert had to take Berclery's hand and run forward with all his might.

At this moment, Robert's heart was very entangled and complicated, and his eyes drifted into the distance.
