Ahsharivana, with a large satiety, followed her neatly.

"The box was in his room, at the foot of the bed. Lolana whispered to Asharivana. "Are you sure you can handle the Dragon Balls? It's heavy and takes up a lot of space. ”

The Dragon Ball is not like an ordinary gem, only the size of a fist, it is the size of a dwarf's head, or even larger.

"It's not that big," Sharivana murmured, looking intently at Lorana. "That's it—" She gestured with her hand to a ball about the size of a child's ball.

"No," Lolana frowned. "You haven't seen it. It is almost two feet wide in diameter. That's why I want you to wear such a wide robe. Ahsarivana looked at her in amazement. Lolana shrugged. "We don't have time to stand here arguing. We'll know then. ”

The two crept down the hallway to the bedroom door.

Lolana held her breath, worried that even her own heartbeat would be too loud, and carefully opened the door. The doorguard creaked, causing her to clench her teeth nervously. Ah, Sharivana shivered nervously beside her. A person on the bed turned over, and it was her mother.

Lolana saw her father reach out and pat her mother's back even in her sleep.

Lorana's eyes filled with tears. Biting her lower lip, she took Asharivana's hand and quietly walked into the room.

The box was right next to her father's bed. It's locked, but everyone has a backup key.

Lolana neatly opened the lock and lifted the lid. Then she was so surprised that she almost dropped the lid.

The Dragon Balls are still over there, still glowing white and blue.

But it's not their Dragon Ball, or it's shrunk for some other reason!

As Sharivana said, it's now as big as a child's ball! Lorana reached in for it, and though it was still heavy, she could now lift it easily.

She carefully lifted it up, trembling as she handed it to Asharivana. The wild elf glared at each other and immediately hid it under the cloak.

Lolana picked up the shards of the spear, and once again wondered why she was carrying this seemingly useless thing with her without fear of trouble.

I'll take it with me because the knight gave it to Stone, she thought. He wanted to give him the weapon for safekeeping.

Underneath the chest was the dragon-slaying sword that Kanan had given to Robert. I can't take both, she thought, and began to put the pieces of the spear back. But Asharivana immediately grabbed her, as if enchanted.

"What are you doing?" she said, her lips glinting, her eyes flaring. "Take it away!

Lolana looked at the girl in surprise. Then she hastily tucked the spear under her cloak and carefully closed the box, leaving the dragon slayer inside. When her father sat up suddenly, she gently put the lid back on.

"What? who's over there?" he said, trying to sober himself up.

Lolana felt the girl begin to tremble violently, and she held her hand tightly and warned her not to make a sound.

"It's me, Father," she said in a faint voice. "I'm Lorana, I- I want to tell you, I'm sorry. Father, I hope you can forgive me. ”

"Ah, it's Lorana," the singer lay back on the bed, closing his eyes. "I forgive you, daughter. Now go back to sleep, and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning. ”

Lolana waited until his breathing had calmed off before leaving the room with Asharivana, holding the spear under his cloak tightly.

"Who is it?" asked a human in Elven language.

"Who's asking?" asked a clarity-voiced elf.

"Is that you?"

"Telos! old friend!" the young elven nobleman stepped out of the shadows and warmly embraced the human blacksmith. For a long time Gilsenas was speechless. Then, in surprise, he pushed Telos away.

"Teggs, you have two hands, but I remember that the dragonmen of Willow cut off one of your hands...... If Scarlet Moon hadn't healed you, you might just die. ”

You remember the pig, Shomast. What did Toud tell me?" Tyros whispered in his deep voice.

"'If you want another hand, you can only forge another one yourself!' I did as he said! The story of my finding this silver arm will be told for a long time—"

"It's not time to tell a story," another voice behind him said. "Unless you want to invite thousands of elves to listen. ”

"So you escaped, Gilcenas," Derek's voice emerged from the shadows. "Did you bring the Dragon Balls?"

"I didn't escape," Girsenas replied coldly. "I left my father's house to accompany my sister and her servant, Asharivana, on this journey. Taking the Dragon Balls away was my sister's idea, not mine.

Lorana, it's too late to reconsider. Gilsenas faced her. "Give the Dragon Balls back. Don't let Brother Bo's unintentional words cloud your mind. If we put the Dragon Ball here, it can also protect our compatriots.

We can find out what it does, and we have a lot of magicians here. ”

"Then we'll go and turn ourselves in with the guards now! We can sleep a little longer in a warm bed, and Canton Hubble puffed out a lot of white smoke of water vapor from his mouth.

"Either warn the others now, or let us go. At least give us a little time before you betray us," Derek said.

"I have no intention of betraying you," said Gircenas angrily. Ignoring the eyes of the others, he turned to his sister again, "Lorana?"

"I've decided I'm going to do it," she replied slowly. "I've been thinking about it for a long time and I think it's the right thing to do. Elistan thought the same. Ah, Sharivana will take us along the mountain trails—"

"I know the way in the mountains, too," Tegus began. "I don't have much to do here. You'll need me to get past the guards. ”

"That's it. ”

"Good," Gilsenas sighed. "I will act with you. If I stay, Bo Xiutu will definitely doubt me. ”

"Good," Hubble said immediately. "Can we leave now? or do we have to wait until we wake everyone up?"

"Go this way," Telos said. ''The guards are used to me messing around at night.

Walk close to the shadows. Let me take care of all the situations. He bent down, grabbed the Kander by the collar, lifted him up, and looked him straight in the eye. ”

I mean, don't talk nonsense, Mr. Thief. The stout blacksmith said solemnly.

"Yes, Telos," the Kand replied weakly, eyes fixed on the silver arm. After being put down, his self-esteem seemed to be shaken a little, and Wade adjusted the package on his body, trying to regain his composure.

The group followed the tall blacksmith quietly along the edge of the camp. Two knights and dwarves in full armor moved forward as quietly as they could.

For Lorana, the noise they make is as noisy as if they were having a wedding.

She bit her lip to keep her composure, watching the two knights make a sound in the dark. Hubble tripped over every tree root and stepped into every pool.

But the elves fell asleep unaware. They felt that they had long since moved away from danger, and that no one believed that danger would come back to them.

So when the crowd fled noisily, they continued to fall asleep.

Asharivana was carrying the Dragon Ball, and she could clearly feel that it was slowly warming up as it approached her body, and she felt the pulse of life inside.

"What should I do?" she muttered to herself in Caganastic language. "It came to me! Why? I don't understand, what should I do?"

The nights were calm and cold. Dense dark clouds completely obscured the moonlight and starlight.

There was no rain, no wind, only a strong sense of oppression. Lolana felt as if the heavens and the earth had pricked up their ears and waited wearily. The elves behind her, asleep in the hatred and fear they had weaved. Lorana's mind drifted, not knowing what terrible monsters would appear in their dreams.

The group slipped through the elven guards with ease. The guards recognized it as Telos and talked to him unsuspectingly, while the others sneaked through the cordon. They arrived at the river before dawn.

"What are we going to do to cross this river?" the dwarf looked at the river in front of him with a worried heart. "I don't want to take a boat, but it's better than swimming. ”

"That shouldn't be a problem. Bonloth turned to Lorana and said, "Ask your little friend!" he nodded at Asharivana.

Lolana and the others looked at the wild elves in amazement. Seeing so many people staring at her, Sharivana couldn't help blushing and bowing her head deeply. "He's right!"

She muttered. Waiting here, hiding in the shadows of the woods, she left them, and ran briskly to the river, full of wild beauty, and it was hard to take your eyes off it. Lolana noticed that Gilsenas had been staring intently at the wild elf.

Asharivana put her finger to her lips and let out a burst of birdsong. She waited for a moment, repeating the same sound three times. A few minutes later, there was a response from the other side of the river, and the same sound floated over the river.

Ahsharivana returned to the group satisfied. Lolana noticed that although she was talking to Telos, her eyes were constantly looking to Gilsenas on the side. As soon as she noticed that Gilsenas was also watching her, the girl blushed and quickly turned her head to look at Telos.

"Kaga Sagaron!" she hurriedly said to Telos, "my countrymen have arrived, but you have to come with me to explain the situation." ”

Lorana could clearly see Asharivana's big blue eyes in the moonlight, glancing at Stone and Drake. The wild elf shook his head slightly. "They will not be happy if we bring these humans into their territory, let alone these elves. She looked at Lolana and Girsenas with apologetic eyes. "I'll explain it to them. ”

Telos said. He looked across the river. "They're coming!"

Lolana saw two dark shadows cross the dark blue river. She immediately realized that the Kaganasti elves must be watching them all the time.

In a matter of moments, they could discern Asharivana's signal. It is extremely unusual for a slave to have such freedom.

If escaping was such an easy task, why did Sharivana stay with the Sivanasti elves?

It doesn't make sense...... Unless—unless she wasn't going to run away at all.

"Kaga. What does Sagaron mean?" she asked Telos suddenly.

"'The man with the silver arm'. Tegus replied with a smile.

"They seem to trust you. ”

"Yes. I told you I spent a lot of time wandering around. Actually, that's not quite right.

I spend most of my time with the Kaganasti elves. ”

The blacksmith's swarthy face frowned. "I hope I didn't offend you by saying this. But, Miss!

You may not know how hard your fellow citizens have made the life of these elves - driving away or taking their prey, tempting their young with gold, silver, steel, and jewels. Telos sighed angrily.

"I've done my best. I taught them how to forge weapons and tools for hunting.

But I'm afraid this winter will be long for them. Prey has begun to become less and less prey. In the end, there may be a famine or a tragedy that hurts each other. ”

"Maybe if I stay. Lolana muttered. "I can help—"

She immediately realized how unrealistic that idea was. What could she do? Not even her own people would accept her!

"You can't be in so many places at the same time. Stone said, "The elves have to solve the problem on their own. Lolana, you made the right decision!"

"I know. She sighed. She turned her head and looked at Camp Wellington behind her.

"Actually, I'm no different from them, Stone. "I was obsessed with the beautiful little world that revolved around me, and I always thought I was the center of the universe," she said.

The reason I ran away with Robert was because I thought I could make him fall in love with me.

But why wouldn't he?

In the end, I realized that the world did not revolve around me.

I saw people die in pain and helplessness, and I was forced to kill. She looked down at her hands and continued.

"Otherwise, you will die at the hands of someone else. I also saw the so-called true love, the love of the river breeze and the scarlet moon, the kind of love that is willing to sacrifice everything for each other.

I understood my insignificance. Now my compatriots treat me with the same attitude.

I used to think they were perfect, but now I realized Robert's state of mind, and that's why he left. ”14410
