Wade took another look, quickly turned his gaze elsewhere, and felt cold all over.

The rest of the picture looks even worse.

This tent-built makeshift city is packed with soldiers, dragonmen, human mercenaries, goblins, and goblins.

In the bar where the temporary workers came out, they went in and out unscrupulously.

Wander around the stinking streets. Slaves of all races were brought into the city to serve their masters and provide them with all kinds of entertainment.

The dwarves of the valley roam around their feet, living on all sorts of filth.

It's like a re-enactment of hell, and it's unbearable everywhere.

It was only afternoon, but the square was dark and cold as night.

Wade looked up and saw two huge flying fortresses, floating above the temple in their unique stance, and dragons fluttering around them.

When they first took to the street, Wade also hoped that there would be a chance to escape.

When it comes to blending in with the crowd, he's an expert. He also noticed Calamon's eyes wandering around;

He was thinking the same thing. After walking a few steps.

Wade spotted the Aerial Fortress and kept monitoring the situation below, knowing that it was hopeless.

It is clear that Karamon came to the same conclusion, as the cooks noticed that the warrior's shoulders were hanging down.

Frightened, Wade suddenly thought that Lorana was also being held here.

The optimistic personality of the Kander people was finally crushed by the incomparable darkness and evil around them.

He never thought that there would be such darkness and evil in the world.

The guards pushed away the drunk, fighting soldiers as they kept urging them forward.

No matter how hard he tried, he didn't get a chance to tell Calamon Robert's message.

Then they were forced to stop in front of the Guards after the darkness, and they walked shoulder to shoulder in the streets.

Those who did not have time to give up their way would be grabbed and thrown aside without mercy, or even knocked down with a punch, trampled without the slightest hesitation.

The guards who escorted them hurriedly pushed them to a wall and ordered them to stand against the wall and wait for the troops to pass by.

Wade found himself squeezed between a dragonman, and Calamon.

The guard let go of his hand, apparently believing that even the Kandes would not be stupid enough to rush into such a ranks.

Although Wade could realize that the eyes were still staring at him, he could still squeeze to Calamon and talk to him.

He hoped that no one would hear what he said, and he didn't think anyone would be able to hear him, because there was thunderous footsteps all around him now.

"Calamon!" Wade whispered. "I have something to tell you. Can you hear me?"

Calamon didn't look back, looking straight ahead, his expression not changing in the slightest.

But Wade saw him blink.

"Robert said to believe him!" Wade said quickly.

"No matter what. And — and you're going to keep pretending — I think that's what he meant. ”

Wade frowned at Calamon.

"She said it in Elfish," Wade said a little angrily. "And it's hard to hear. ”

Calamon's expression didn't change, at most it just became more gloomy.

Wade swallowed. He shifted and leaned against the wall next to the warrior.

"That...... The dragoon," said the Khander hesitantly.

"That's Ella, right?"

Calamon didn't answer. But Wade could clearly see that the muscles in his jaw twitched, and a tendon in Calamon's neck was throbbing.

Wade sighed. Forgetting where he was, he opened his voice and shouted—"Do you really believe him, Calamon?"

Without warning, the dragonman guarding Wade slapped him back, slamming the ground into the wall.

Tyrokosi saw Venus scurry up in front of him, and he sat down on the ground. A black figure bent down.

His vision was a mess, and Wade couldn't see anything clearly, ready to endure another punch.

Then he felt a pair of gentle, strong hands lift him up.

"I told you, I don't want to hurt them," Callamon said with a frown.

"Bah! Dead Kander," the dragonman spat out.

The team has now almost completely passed. Calamon put Wade back on the ground, and the Kander tried to get up.

But he didn't know how, and the sidewalk kept rocking in front of his eyes.

"I'm sorry......," I heard myself mutter.

"There's a strange thing about my feet...... he finally felt himself being carried by Calamon.

"He knows some important news," Calamon said in a low voice.

"I hope you didn't hurt his head and make him forget about it. The Dark Maiden will be displeased. ”

"What head?" replied the dragonman with a growl, but Wade saw that the dragonman was a little overwhelmed from the upside-down position on Calamon's shoulder.

They continued on their way. Wade had a terrible headache and his cheeks were swollen.

He touched his cheek with his hand and noticed red blood from the scratches of the dragonman's claws.

It was as if a lot of bees were flying into his ears, buzzing incessantly.

The whole world seemed to start spinning around him, making him a little sick to his stomach, bouncing around Calamon's armor-clad back only made things worse.

"How far is it?" he could feel Calamon's voice, buzzing in his chest. "This little bastard is really heavy. ”

The dragonman replied with a finger outstretched.

Wade tried very hard, trying to make himself forget about the dizziness and pain, and turned his head to look.

He only had time to glance at it, and that was enough. As they got closer, the building grew larger.

In the end, it not only fills their sights, but also their hearts.

Wade collapsed. His vision was getting blurred, and he wondered why there was fog all around. The last thing he remembered......

"Do you want wine?"

"Don't. ”

Chilera shrugged. She took the bottle out of the bowl with snow and poured herself a glass slowly.

She watched intently as the blood-red liquid flowed from the crystal bottle into the cup, and then put the bottle back in the corridor.

She sat down across from Robert and looked at him coldly.

She had taken her helmet off, but she was still wearing the dark blue, gold-trimmed dragon scale armor that fit like her own scales.

The many candles in the room shone on the finely polished armor, reflecting the scorching fire, and Ella seemed to be surrounded by flames.

Her black curls were completely drenched in sweat and curled around her eyelids.

Her brown eyes looked like they were on fire, and her long eyelashes kept blinking.

"Why are you here, Robert. She asked softly, one hand gently stroking the glass in her hand.

"You know why. He replied succinctly.

"For Lorana, of course. Ella said.

Robert shrugged, careful to keep his expression unchanged.

The woman in front of him frightened him—she sometimes knew himself better than he did—and he was afraid that she would be able to guess what he was thinking.

"Are you alone?" said Ella, sipping her wine.

"Yes," Robert looked at her without flinching.

Ella raised an eyebrow in disbelief.

"Hubble is dead," he added, choking up. Even in the face of so many fears, he couldn't easily mention his friends.

"Wade didn't know where he was going. I can not find him. I...... I don't want to bring him anyway. ”

"I can understand," Ella said displeasedly, "that Hubble is dead. ”

"Just like Stone," Robert added, gritting his teeth.

Ella glared at him sharply.

"That's war, my dear," she said.

"Both of us are soldiers, he and I are.

He can understand. His soul will not reproach me. ”

Robert angrily swallowed the words back. She's right, Stone will understand.

Ella looked at Robert's face silently for a moment, then put the cup down with a clatter.

"Where's my brother?" she asked, "where—"

"Why don't you just take me to the dungeon and torture me?" Robert growled.

He left his chair and began to move around the room.

Ella smiled, an understanding, thoughtful smile — "yes," she said, "I can torture you there."

You'll be honest, dear Robert. You'll tell me all you want to know, and you'll beg me to let you say more.

We don't just have people who specialize in torture technology, they love what they do. Ella gracefully stood up and walked over to Robert.

She held the glass in one hand and moved the other from his chest to his shoulder.

"But it's not torture. Say, you think of it as a sister who cares about her family. Where's my brother?"

"I don't know," Robert said. He firmly grasped her hands and removed them from him.

"Both of them disappeared into the sea of Ishtar's blood......"

"With the Emerald Man?"

"With the Emerald Man, that guy from Berclery. ”

"How did you survive?"

"The sea elves saved me. ”

"Then they must have saved the others?"

"Maybe there is, maybe not. After all, I'm an elf, and the rest is human. ”

Ella looked at Robert for a long time. He was still holding her wrist.

Ella's feelings for him cannot be explained in a few words, because the other person is not the one who belongs behind the darkness - not her own person to be exact.

It seemed that the elf named Lolana loved him deeply, "He belongs to me!" Ella thought excitedly.

It's like a child who has to get his beloved toy, and if he can't get it, destroy it completely!

Robert naturally knew in his heart that this was a game, a confrontation between good and evil.

"I have to do this for the sake of Lorana!"
