Lorana was prepared for almost any reaction from the girl, she might be angry, or ashamed that her actions were discovered.

She even expected her to act aggressively. But Asharivana began to tremble, and when she looked at Lorana, her eyes were pleading, almost with a hint of sadness.

For a short time, Sharivana tried to speak, but she couldn't.

She shook her head, broke free of Lorana's grasp, and ran desperately out of the cave.

"Hurry up, Lorana!" Telos shouted.

"Coming soon!" she looked at the mess on the ground. She wanted to spend more time surveying the graphics on the ground, but she didn't dare waste that precious time.

Maybe I was too suspicious of the girl, but it didn't make sense, and Lolana walked out of the cave quickly.

She nearly bumped into Telos at the back of the palace, and the blacksmith grabbed her hand and steadied her. "Are you alright?" he asked.

"It's just- it's okay. Lolana replied, a little absent-minded. "You look pale, do you see something strange?"

"No, I'm fine. Lolana replied hurriedly, looking up at the snowy cliffs. How could she not have noticed! How could everyone have been negligent!

The act of Asharivana standing up and covering the Dragon Balls with her cloak came to her mind again. What really frightened her was that the surface of the Dragon Ball was glowing strangely at that time!

She was about to ask Sharivana, but her thoughts were interrupted.

An arrow pierced the sky and landed at a tree near Drake.

"Elf!" Breitbrad, attack!" shouted the knight, drawing his sword.

"No!" Rolana rushed forward, grabbing his sword-wielding hand. "We will never resist, we will never kill!"

"You're crazy!" shouted Drake. He angrily shoved Lolana back in Stone direction.

Another arrow was fired.

"She's right!" said Sharivana, who ran back and pleaded. "We can't draw our swords against them, we can deal with them at the pass ahead. ”

Another arrow landed limply in Drake's chain mail, and he angrily pulled it away.

"They're not trying to shoot us. Lolana added. "If they had such thoughts, we would have died long ago. We're going to have to escape, and there's no chance of winning here. ”

She pointed to the dense woods, "We have a better chance over there. ”

"Drake, put down your sword!" Stone drew his sword, "or you'll have to get past me first." ”

"You're a coward, BrightBreed!" Drake shuddered with rage. "You ran away from your enemies!"

"Nope. Stone replied coldly, "I retreated for the lives of my friends." "The knight's sword is unsheathed.

"Hurry up, Drake, or the elves will find out that they're too late and will have to help you collect the body. ”

Another arrow landed at the tree behind Drake.

The knight's face flushed with anger, and he sheathed his sword and walked up the path. But he ended up casting an extremely vicious eye on Stone.

"Stone—" Lolana began, but the knight just grabbed her elbow and pushed her up as fast as she could.

They were so fast that she could hear the sound of Rose crossing the slope behind her, as he kept throwing rocks down.

Soon the snow on the entire cliff began to slide, and the arrows stopped.

"This can only delay them a bit," the blacksmith panted as he caught up with Stone and Lorana.

"There's no way to stop them for too long. Lolana didn't answer. It was as if there was fire burning in her lungs, and Venus was blazing in front of her.

She wasn't the only one, Stone gasped for breath as his hand weakly grasped Lorana.

Even the strong blacksmith was panting like a racehorse. They rounded a boulder and found the dwarf kneeling on the ground, and Wade tried in vain to lift him up.

"Gotta ...... Rest...... I can't stand it," Lorana had a sore throat. She began to sit down, but a strong hand held her.

"No!" said Sharivana anxiously, "I can't stay here! Just walk a few more feet! Hurry up!"

The wild elf pushed Lolana forward, and she watched in a daze as Stone picked up Hubble and the dwarf cursed loudly.

Telos and Stone teamed up to drag the dwarves down the trail, and Wade walked last, too tired to speak.

Eventually, they reached the pass.

Lolana threw herself on the snow, no longer in the energy to care about what would happen next.

The others fell beside her, only Asharivana stared intently below.

How could she have such good stamina?, Lolana struggled to clear her mind. But she was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to ask questions.

At this time, she didn't even want to care if the elves would catch up. Asharivana turned to face them.

"We have two sides. She said decisively.

Lolana looked at her, not understanding what she meant.

"No, I can't. "Gilsenas tried to stand up, but was unsuccessful.

"Listen to me!" said Ahsharivana, leaning over and urging him. "The elves are too close. They will catch up with us, and we will have to surrender or fight. ”

"Fight—" Drake muttered.

"There's a better way. Ahsharivana whispered. "You, knight, you'll have to take the Dragon Balls to St. Quest alone! ”

For a while no one spoke. Everyone looked at Asharivana silently, contemplating this new possibility.

Drake looked up, his eyes shining. Lolana looked at Stone with a warning look.

"I don't think a person can afford such a heavy responsibility. Stone slowly adjusted his breathing, "There must be at least two people." ”

"Do you mean there's still you?" said Derek angrily.

"Yes, of course Stone should follow. Lorana said. "He's more qualified than anyone else. ”

"I can draw a map through the mountains. Ah, Sharivana said anxiously. "The road is not difficult. The knight's outpost is only about two days away. ”

"But we can't fly. Stone protested. "What about our footprints? The elves will surely notice that we are separated. ”

"Create an avalanche. Ahsarivana suggested. "I was inspired by the way Telos threw rocks back. ”

She looked up, and everyone followed her gaze. The snow-covered peaks at the top are the target of everyone, and the snow seems to be very soft.

"I can create an avalanche with my magic. Gireenas said slowly.

"This destroys all traces. ”

"But where can we go?" asked Lorana. "I don't want to run around the wilderness without a purpose. ”

"I- I know a place. Asharivana stammered, looking down at the ground. "It's a secret, only my people know. I'll take you there. ”

She clasped her hands together. "Please, we're moving fast. Time is running out!"

"I'm willing to send the Dragon Balls to St. Quest. Derek said, "I can go on my own."

Stone follow your friends, you're going to need a warrior. “

"We have fighters. Lorana said. "Tyros, my brother, dwarf. And I've been through many battles, big and small—"

"And me. Wade also stepped in.

"And the Kande. Lolana added with a smile. "Besides, we won't have a bloody conflict anyway. She looked at Stone with an annoyed look on his face and knew what he was thinking.

Her voice softened. Of course, in the end, it still depends on Stone's own wishes.

He decides what to do for himself, but I think he should follow Derek. “

"I agree. Hubble muttered. "After all, it's not like we're going to take risks. We would be safer without the Dragon Balls, and the elves want the Dragon Balls. ”

"Yes. Ahsarivana agreed. "We wouldn't be safer without Dragon Ball. It is you who are going to take more risks. ”

"Then my choice is obvious. Stone said. "I'm going to go with Derek. ”

"What if I order you to go with them?" said Derek.

"You have no authority over me. Stone's eyes darkened. "Have you forgotten? I'm not a knight at all. ”

Everyone fell into an awkward silence. Drake glared at Stone.

"Definitely. He said. "If I had the chance, you would never have been!"

Stone twitched, as if Drake had slapped him in the face. Then he stood up and sighed heavily. Derek had already started packing his bags.

Stone didn't move quickly, and deliberately put away his blanket slowly. Lolana struggled to her feet and walked over to Stone.

"Come on. She reached into her backpack. "You're going to need food—"

"You should have come with us. Shi Le whispered as the rations were distributed. "Robert knew we were going to St. Quest. If possible, he would have done his best to get there. ”

"You're right. Lorana's eyes began to light up. "Maybe that's a good idea—"

Her gaze then turned to Asharivana. The wild elves still wrap their cloaks around the Dragon Balls.

For a moment, Lolana thought that Ashalivana was communicating with the darkness, and she was startled by the sudden thought.

Asharivana closed her eyes as if communicating with an unseen deity. Lolana sighed and shook her head.

"No, Stone, I have to stay with her. She whispered.

"Something isn't right, I don't understand—" She paused, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Why did she insist on going alone? The dwarf was right, the journey was dangerous.

If the elves catch you, they won't hesitate to do so without us. ”

Stone sank his face, "Can you imagine?" Sir Drake alone took the precious Dragon Balls and overcame all odds to return to everyone—" Stone shrugged.

"But that's such a great responsibility!" protested Lorana.

"You're right, Lorana. Stone said hoarsely. "There's too much stakes here.

There's so much more than you know...... Solanian knights' dominion. I don't have time to explain to you ......"

"Hurry up, Bright, if you're still coming!" Drake yelled.

Stone picked up the food and stuffed it into the package. "Goodbye, Lorana," he bowed to her with his usual dignity.

"Goodbye, Stone, my old friend," she whispered, clasping her arms around the knight. He put his arm around her tenderly and kissed her on the forehead.

"We'll hand over the Dragon Balls to the wise to study. The St. White Rock Council will convene soon," he said.

"We'll invite elves because they're part of it. You'll have to get to St. Quest as soon as possible, we'll need you. ”

"I will come, according to the will of God. "Lorana's eyes are on Asharivana, who is handing over the Dragon Balls to Drake.

When Derek turned to leave, an indescribable, relieved expression appeared on Asharivana's face.

Stone said goodbye to everyone and left behind Drake. As they left, everyone saw a flash of light from their shields.

Suddenly, Lolana took a step forward as if she remembered something, "Wait!" she shouted. "I'm going to have to stop them. They should have to go with the dragon slayer shards. ”

"No!" Sharivana shouted to stop Lorana.

Lolana angrily tried to push Ashalivana away, and then she saw the expression on the girl's face and couldn't help but stop.

"Ah, Sharivana, what is it for?" asked Lorana. "Why are you in such a hurry to get them away, why do you want to separate us so much?

Why did you give them the Dragon Balls and leave the fragments behind-"

Asharivana didn't answer, she just shrugged her shoulders and looked at Lorana with blue eyes.

Lolana felt her will gradually succumb to those aqua blue eyes. She was scared, but she couldn't help but think of Rodlis.

Gilsenas also looked at Asharivana with concern. Telos stood with his hands folded on his chest, seemingly beginning to have the same suspicions as Lorana.

But no one could move.

They were all controlled by Asharivana, what did she do to us?

They could only watch in a daze as the wild elves easily walked towards Lorana's backpack, unwrapped the shards, and lifted the shards of the dragon slayer into the air.

The sun shone on Asharivana's silver hair, reflecting a glow similar to that emitted by Stone's shield.

"The Dragon Slayer Lance is going to stay with me. Asharivana looked coldly at the enchanted people around her, and she added, "You are the same!"

Behind them, the snow on the cliffs rushed down in a force of thousands of horses, completely covering all traces of them and blocking their path.

The echo of Gilsenus' magical thunder and lightning still echoed through the valley, or if it belonged to the fallen stones, no one was sure.

Asharivana was really just as Rolana thought, and didn't really want to help them escape from the forest. It's just that under the guise of protecting the Dragon Balls, I'm just walking with them all the way.

The drunkard doesn't mean to drink, and the Dragon Balls don't have much value to her, but the Dragon Slayer Gun is what she really wants.

Compared with the strong who are independent and arrogant, the weak are more likely to confuse people's minds and are more sympathetic to the majority of people.
