Robert rendezvous with his companion waiting at the edge of the forest. For a long time, they stood there, frightened by the forests of Sivanasti.

Although they knew that evil was gone, it was still an unimaginable experience to walk in such a forest for days.

But they had no choice, because they were once again feeling the pressure to follow them closely.

The sand in the hourglass keeps leaking, and for no reason, they just know that they can't wait for the sand to run out, and once the sand runs out, then death is not far from them.

"Come on, brother!" said Rodrith at last. The mage led the way into the forest, the staff of Marzis in his hand casting a pale light. Calamon sighed and followed.

One by one, they walked into the forest, and Robert took one last look back.

Tonight, they could not see the moonlight, and the whole land was shrouded in darkness that seemed to mourn Rorak's death.

Albert stood in the doorway of the Tower of Stars, which shimmered with the moonlight captured centuries ago.

Only Albert's face could be seen in the shadows, like the soul of a silver moon.

Robert saw her raise her hand, and the star diamond emitted a burst of clear white light. In the end, she also left.

——

The dwarf lay down, ready to take his last breath.

His limbs were weak. His stomach and intestines were tangled together, and a wave of nausea overwhelmed him. He looked at a faint oil lamp hanging over his head.

The lights seem to be getting dimmer. That's it, the dwarf thought, and that's the end. I will end up seeing nothing......

The dwarf thought that his death was imminent, so he simply stopped thinking about anything else, and his mind was full of the joys and sorrows he had experienced in his life, and his heart was as silent as stagnant water.

Suddenly, he heard a noise, a creaking of planks, as if someone was sneaking in.

Hubble looked away weakly. "Who is it?" he said hoarsely.

"Wade. A sympathetic voice came. Hubble sighed and held out his hand, which was covered in age spots. Wade's small hand held him.

"Ahh I'm glad you came to say goodbye to me. The dwarf said weakly.

"I'm going to die, kid, I'm going to see Leochs—"

"What?" Wade asked, leaning closer.

"Leox!" said the dwarf exasperatedly. "I'm going back to Leoaks' arms. ”

"No, we're not going there. Wade said. "We're going to St. Quest, unless you're talking about the name of an inn. I'll ask Stone. Leoaks' arm. Uh-huh—"

"Leox, dwarven god, you stupid pig!" Hubble yelled.

"Oh!" Wade said after a moment's thought, "is that Leokes?"

"Listen, lad. Hubble finally calmed down, as he was determined not to make a bad impression at the last moment.

"I want you to take my helmet. It's the helmet you brought me from Shaksharos, with the griffon's mane on it. ”

"Are you really going to do this?" Wade asked in surprise. "You're so nice, but then you don't have a helmet, do you?"

"Ah, little one, I don't need a helmet where I'm going. ”

"St. Quest might need it!" Wade said skeptically. "Drake speculates that the Dragoon is going to launch an all-out attack, and I think a helmet should come in handy—"

"I didn't mean St. Quest!" Hubble roared. Get ready to sit up. "Because I'm dying, I don't need a helmet anymore!"

"There was a time when I almost died. Wade said earnestly. He placed a steaming bowl on the table, sat comfortably in a chair, and began his story.

"It was that time in Tarsis that we encountered an evil dragon, and a fallen pillar weighed on me.

Elistan said that I had been closed by the Ghost Gate, but in fact he didn't say that, he said that he was talking about the intervention of divine power or something, so that I can stand here today. “

Hubble wailed and collapsed on the bed. "Isn't that excessive?" he said to the oil lamp flickering above his head, "I just want to die peacefully, not surrounded by the Kanders!"

"Oh, less coming. You know you're not going to die. Wade said. "You're just seasick. ”

"I'm going to die!" said the dwarf stubbornly, "I'm dying of some incurable infectious disease."

It's all your fault.

You were the one who pulled me into this dinghy. ”

"To be reasonable, this should be a big ship. Wade interjected.

"Dinghy!" Hubble repeated exasperatedly. "You pulled me into this cursed dinghy and taught me to die in this rat-infested room—"

"You know, we could actually leave you in the glacier and let you and the walrus-" Wade snapped shut.

Hubble struggled to sit up again, but this time his eyes were mad.

The Kanders stood up and moved cautiously towards the door. "Well, I guess I'd better get out of here. I'm just coming down to see if you — uh— want to eat.

The ship's cook just invented a food called green bean soup—"

Lolana cowered in the cold wind on the foredeck, listening to the most terrible roar she'd ever heard from the cabin below, followed by a series of shattering things.

She looked at Stone standing next to her, and the knight laughed.

"It's Hubble," he said.

"I know," Lolana said worriedly. "Maybe I should-"

She saw Wade, who was covered in green bean soup, come out and swallowed the words back.

"I guess Hubble is feeling a lot better. Wade said earnestly. "It's just that he's not ready to eat. ”

The journey out of the glacier was a smooth one. Their small boat flew smoothly across the sea, following the current and strong cold winds to the north.

According to the information of Tasso, the group went to the Ice Castle, and obtained the Dragon Ball, defeating its evil guardian Felthas;

The opponent is a tough dragoon.

With the help of the Icefield Barbarians, they escaped from the ruined castle and boarded a ship bound for St. Quest.

Although the Dragon Balls are now safely placed in the cabin, the terrifying memories of the journey still haunt them.

However, the nightmare brought by the glacier is still not as vivid as the strange dream they had made a month ago.

No one dared to talk about it again, and the lonely, fearful expression that she occasionally saw on the faces of others, especially Stone, reminded her of that dream.

Other than that, everyone is in good spirits, and the dwarves are certainly not counted. He was forcibly brought aboard the ship, and on that day he was seasick and dizzy.

However, the journey to the Ice Castle was a victory. In addition to the Dragon Balls, they also found an artifact that was said to be a fragment of the Dragon Slayer Spear.

They also discovered something more important, although they didn't know it at the time.

The group followed Drake and two other young knights from Tarsis to Glacier Castle in search of the Dragon Balls. The trip didn't go well.

Again and again they face evil walrusmen, wolves, and bears.

Everyone began to worry that the trip would be as futile as before.

But Wade kept assuring that the book said that there was indeed a dragon ball stored here, so everyone kept searching.

During their journey, they discovered an astonishing sight: a huge silver dragon, more than forty feet long, completely frozen in ice.

The dragon's wings spread out, ready to fly, and its expression was very vicious, but the aura it emitted was not as greedy and terrifying as that of the evil red dragons.

The purity in the dragon's eyes made people faintly feel sad for this majestic creature.

What's even stranger is that this dragon actually rode a person. They had seen a dragoon riding a dragon before, but from the ancient armor on it, it was obvious that he was a Solanian knight!

He still had a weapon in his hand, the remains of what had once been a spear.

"Why does a Solanian knight ride a dragon?" asked Lolana, thinking of the dragoon.

"Some of the knights have gone the way of evil," said Sir Derek hoarsely, "though I hate to admit it!"

"But I don't feel any evil," Mr. Elistan said. "There is only an endless sorrow. Not sure how they died. I don't see any fatal wounds—"

"It looks familiar. Wade interjected with a frown, "It's like a painting." A knight riding a silver dragon, I've seen—"

"Phew!" said Hubble dismissively, "you've seen a hairy elephant—"

"I mean really. Wade protested.

"Where did you see that, Wade?" asked Lolana softly, seeing the little cook's look of wrongdoing. "Do you remember? I think ......" The Kander man's eyes began to lose focus. "It reminds me of New Grande and Aven......"

"Aven!" Hubble said suddenly. "If you think there's anyone crazier than Rodrith, that old mage is definitely the first choice. ”

"I don't understand what Suss is saying. Stone looked thoughtfully at the silver dragon and his knight. "But I remember what my mother told me about Shuma in his last battle, carrying a dragon slayer spear and riding a silver dragon. ”

"I also remember my mother telling me to leave a cake by the bedside on the night of the winter celebration for the old fairy in the white robe. Derek said contemptuously. "No, this must be a knightly traitor seduced by evil. ”

Drake and the other two young knights turned to leave, but the others still looked at the figure on the dragon's back.

"You're right, Stone. That's the Dragon Slayer Gun. "I don't know how I know, but I'm sure." ”

"Have you read it in Tarsis's book?" asked Stone. He exchanged glances with Lorana, and both of them felt that the seriousness of the Kander was somewhat unusual, even a little frightening.

Wade shrugged. "I don't know. He whispered. "I'm sorry. ”

"Maybe we should take this thing with us. Lorana suggested uneasily. "It probably doesn't matter. ”

"Come on, Brightbrad!" Draek's voice buzzed through the cavern.

"We may have gotten rid of the walrus people for a while, but they will soon follow in our footsteps. ”

"How are we going to get it?" Stone asked, ignoring Drake's orders.

"It's frozen in three feet of ice!"

"I can get it," Gireenas said.

The elf jumped up the ice cliff that condensed beside the knight and the dragon, found a place to stay, and began to climb up inch by inch.

Starting with the dragon's frozen wings, he crawled hand and foot close to the remains of the spear clutched in the knight's hand.

Gilthenas pressed his hand to the thick layer of ice and began to chant strange, awkward incantations.

The elf's palm shot out a red light, quickly dissolving the ice.

In the blink of an eye, however, he could reach in and grasp the remains of the spear, but the knight's hand was still gripping it tightly.

Gilcenas tugged hard, even trying to pry the knight's fingers open. But he couldn't stand the cold of the ice after all, and jumped back to the ground shivering.

"I don't want to take it. "He's holding on too tightly." ”

"Break your finger—" Wade suggested expectantly.

Stone glanced angrily at the Kande. "I'm not going to allow you to desecrate this body!" he exclaimed.

"Maybe we can think of something else. I can try—"

"It's useless. Gilsenas said to his sister as he watched as he rode up the cliff. It was as if the spear had become part of his hand. I-" He was suddenly silent.

Just as Stone held the wreckage in his hand, the knight's body seemed to move slightly, very slightly. His stiff, cold fingers let go, and he gave up the weapon to Stone. The knight was so frightened that he almost fell, but he immediately let go of his hand and crawled down the dragon's frozen wings.

"He gave you the weapon. Lorana shouted. "Stone, don't hesitate, take it! Can't you see? He's going to hand it over to another knight. ”

"I'm not a knight. Stone said sadly. "But maybe it's a sign, maybe it's evil—" He hesitated and crawled back to the mouth of the cave, picking up his spear again. The deceased knight let go of his stiff hand. Stone gripped the wreckage of the weapon and carefully took it out of the ice. He jumped to the ground and scrutinized the ancient spear handle.

"Great!" Wade said in admiration. "Hubble, did you see the corpse come back to life?"

"I don't see!" said the dwarf angrily. "You didn't see it either. We'd better get out of here quickly," he added, trembling again.

Then, Drake appeared. "I gave you an order, Stone. Breitbrad, what are you procrastinating?" Drake's face darkened with anger when he saw the handle of the spear.

"I asked him to bring it to me. Lolana said, her voice as calm as an iceberg behind her. She took the handle of the spear and carefully tied it up with the cloak in her backpack.

Drake looked at her angrily, then bowed stiffly and turned away.

Their goal is to unravel the mysteries of Dragon Ball, but at this moment, this goal is gradually becoming blurred.

Everything is a phantom, and everything will pass.
