"Even if he had, he didn't tell me. Albert said worriedly. "Because that's all I know, I've got to rest, good night. She said to herself.

"Good night, Ms. Albert. Robert whispered. "Have a good night's rest.

Don't worry, your father is very wise and wise. I'm sure everything will be fine. “

Albert was ready to leave, but she hesitated when she heard the sympathy in her words.

"Although he passed the trial. Her voice was so small that Robert was forced to lean in and listen.

"But he doesn't have as much power as your friend. If he thinks Dragon Ball is our only hope, I'm afraid—" She choked up.

"Dwarves often say," Robert felt the gap between the two of them draw closer, and gently put his arm around Albert's slender shoulder.

"'When the borrowed troubles are finally returned, you have to add more sad interest. 'Don't worry, we'll help you. ”

Albert didn't answer, she only let herself relax for a moment, then broke free from his embrace and walked to the entrance of the cave. She turned around abruptly and stopped.

"You're worried about your friend. "Not really." They escaped from the city safely. Although the Kander almost died, he survived.

Now they're heading to the Glacier to find another Dragon Ball. ”

"How do you know?" said Robert, taken aback.

"I've told you everything. Albert shook his head.

"Albert, how do you know?" asked Robert, grimly.

A flush ran across her pale cheeks, "I—I gave him the star diamond." Of course, he didn't know its power, nor did he know how to use it.

I don't know why I gave it to him, it's just-"

"Just what?" said Robert, who was so surprised that he could barely speak.

"He's so brave, so chivalrous. He risked his life to help me and didn't even know my name.

Just because I was in trouble, he stepped forward to lend a hand.

And—" Her eyes shone with a different kind of brilliance. "He shed tears when the dragon slaughtered people.

I've never seen an adult cry before, not even when we've been driven away from our homes by dragons. I think maybe we've forgotten how to cry. ”

Then, as if she had realized that she had said too much, she hurriedly lifted the blanket at the entrance of the cave and walked briskly inside.

"Oh my God!" said Robert. What a precious and rare gift!

A treasure that is exchanged only when elven lovers are forced to separate, and it binds the souls of the two together.

With its power, two people can share the deepest emotions in their hearts and draw support from each other.

But Robert had never heard of a human being receiving such a treasure in his life. What will it do to humans? What will it do?

And Albert - she could never fall in love with a human and could never respond to human love. It must be some kind of blind feeling.

She was lonely and scared.

No, it would have to be a tragedy, unless there was some major change in the spirit or Albert's own heart.

Although Robert was relieved to know that Lolana and the others were well, he couldn't help but sympathize with Stone's situation.

On the third day, the group continued to fly against the rising sun. They had escaped the dragon's pursuit, though Lena kept looking back, claiming to still be able to see the dark shadow on the horizon.

That afternoon, when the sun set behind them, they were close to the east—Talas, the River of Kings, and the border between West Vannasti and the outside world.

Robert can be said to have grown up listening to the elves narrate the beautiful scenery of Sivanasti, although the elves of Wellington do not regret giving up this treasure.

They don't miss the wonders there, because the legendary wonders have become an important difference between the elves.

Wellington's spirits coexist in harmony with nature and are always happy to add to its beauty. They built homes in the woods, using magic to stain their trunks with gold and silver.

They build their homes out of rose-colored quartz and also welcome all that nature has to dance with them.

Sivanasti is different, they like something unique and different.

They have patience and perseverance, and for elves who often live to be hundreds of years old, what is a century?

The uniqueness that exists in nature is not enough, so they sculpt nature to suit their needs. They redesigned the entire forest, sculpted, excavated, and arranged flowers and trees into a fantastical garden.

They don't really "build" houses, but sculpt the marble of the land into all sorts of unusual and unusual shapes that are suitable for habitation.

Before the various races were suspicious of each other, dwarven craftsmen often traveled thousands of miles to see these works, moved to tears by their unique beauty.

It is said that the humans who come to Sivanasti will be deeply trapped in that beautiful dream and will never be able to leave.

Robert knew that these were legends, because after the War of the Wall, no elves in Quilenos had ever set foot in Sivanasti.

Many people believe that no human being has ever been to Sivanasti for hundreds of years before this.

"Those stories. As they flew through the forest on the back of the griffin, Robert asked Albert, "It is said that as soon as humans enter Sivanastia, they will be fascinated by its beauty and will never be able to extricate themselves."

Will my friends be able to get out?" Albert glared back at him.

"I know that humans are weak. "But I don't think they're that weak."

Humans can't enter Sivanasti because we don't allow them in, and we certainly don't want to keep them inside.

If I feel any danger, I will not let you into my home. ”

"Even Stone?" he couldn't resist the urge to ask a rhetorical question when he heard the thorn in her words.

But he didn't know that there would be such a reaction. Albert immediately turned to face him, his hair whipping across his cheeks.

Her face turned pale with anger, and the green veins underneath were obvious. Her black eyes seemed to devour him alive.

"You're not allowed to say that to me!" she said through gritted teeth. "Don't mention him in front of me!"

"But last night—" Robert replied in surprise, his hands unconsciously touching his hot beards.

"Nothing happened last night!" said Albert, "and I was tired and scared.

Just like me...... When I met Shi ——, that knight. I regret mentioning him to you. I'm not supposed to tell you the story of the Star Diamond. ”

"Do you regret giving it to him?" asked Robert.

"The day I set foot on Tarsis I started to regret it. Albert whispered in an agitated tone, "I wish I had never been there!

She turned abruptly, leaving Robert alone to think.

When the group saw the Tower of Stars shining in the sun, they flew to the river, and the griffon suddenly stopped.

Robert looked around, showing no signs of danger.

But the griffon still descended rapidly.

At first glance, it's hard to believe that Sivanasti has experienced a tragic offensive and defensive battle.

There was no smoke from the cooking smoke that would have come from the stationing of the Dragonman army on the ground, and there was no scorched or murderous trace on the entire land.

He could see the aspen grove below still shining in the sun. Beautiful marble buildings still adorn this tranquil forest.

"No!" Arhan said to the griffon, appropriating Elven language, "I command you!

Keep flying!I'll get to the tower!" But the griffon continued to circle and descend, despite her commands.

"How?" asked Robert, "why did they stop? We can already see the tower." What's going on?" he looked around. "I didn't see anything special. ”

"They just refuse to move on. Albert had a worried look on his face.

"They didn't want to tell me why, they just said we had to go to the tower ourselves. I don't understand what the reason is. ”

Robert didn't like it. Griffons are known for their courage and independence, and once they owe allegiance to a master, they will obey orders to the death.

As a result, the elven nobles of Sivanasti domesticated griffons as their mounts for generations. Although they are smaller than dragons, their lightning speed, sharp claws, sharp beaks, and sharp hind claws make them enemies that should not be taken lightly.

It is said that griffons have little to fear on the Candela. He remembered one thing: these griffons had flown through hordes of dragons without hesitation into Tassis.

But now the griffons were so frightened that they landed on the banks of the river, refusing to obey Albert's constant orders. They just waited on the banks of the river in a gloomy manner, refusing to obey any orders.

In the end, they had no choice but to get off their backs and unload the supplies. These lion-eagle creatures flew gracefully into the sky with apologies.

"Well, that's all there is to it. Albert ignored the angry gaze cast at her and said quickly. "We can only walk, that's all. Anyway, it's not far. ”

The crowd gathered on the bank of the river, looking at the forest in the depths. No one spoke, and everyone nervously searched for any possible danger.

But all they could see was aspen groves reflecting the sunset in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the brook gurgling. There is silence in the forest, and only the smell of winter envelops everything.

"I remember you saying that your compatriots fled here because they were attacked?" Robert finally couldn't help but ask Albert.

"If this land is under the control of the dragons, I might be able to become a valley dwarf!" Calamon said dismissively.

"We were!" replied Albert, searching for anything out of the ordinary, "just like Tassis—dragons flying all over the sky!"

The dragon armies marched into our precious forests and burned with impunity—" She couldn't go on.

Calamon approached the river breeze and whispered in his ear, "It's just chasing after the wind!"

The Plainsman frowned. "If that's all there is, we'd be lucky. ”

He looked at the elven woman. "I don't know why she brought us here, maybe it's a trap. ”

Calamon pondered for a moment, looking at his brother uneasily, for Rodrith's golden eyes hadn't left the peaceful forest since the griffon had left.

The stout warrior quietly unsheathed his sword and approached Lena. It looked like an accident boat, and the hands of the two were clasped together.

Lena gave Rodlis a frightened look, but still held on tightly to Calamon.

The mage had been staring at the wilderness in amazement.

"Robert!" Albert, intoxicated by the sight before him, put his hand on his shoulder and said optimistically, "Maybe that method has worked!"

Maybe my father defeated them and we can return to our long-lost homeland. Oh, Robert—" She trembled with excitement. "We'll have to cross the river at once to find out! Come on, the ferry port is not far below—"

"Wait, Albert!" cried Robert, but she was already running along the verdant shore, her dress fluttering.

"Albert! Calamon, the river breeze catches up. Scarlet Moon, try to communicate with her. ”

Riverwind and Calamon exchanged uneasy glances, but ran after Albert along the riverbank, as Robert had ordered. Scarlet Moon and Lena followed slowly.

"Does anyone know what's in this forest?" asked Robert in a low voice. "Rodres—"

The mage didn't seem to hear. Robert took a few more steps closer. "Rodrith?" he repeated, watching the mage look at the scene in distraction.

Rodrith stared at him blankly, as if he had just woken up from a dream. Then the mage realized that someone was talking to him, and he closed his eyes.

"What's the situation, Rodres?" said Robert, "what do you sense?"

"Nothing, Robert. The mage replied.

Robert blinked. "No?" he asked.

"There seemed to be an impenetrable fog in front of me, a blank wall. Rodrith said hoarsely.

"I can't see anything, I can't feel anything. ”

Robert looked at him intently, and suddenly understood that Rodrith was not telling the truth. But why?

The mage looked at Robert with a clear face, and even a smile on his lips, as if he also knew that Robert didn't believe him, and he didn't care in the slightest.

"Rodris. Robert whispered, "What will happen if the Elven King Lorak tries to use the Dragon Balls?"

The mage looked at the forest in front of him. "Do you think it's possible?" he asked.

"Possibly," Robert replied. "Albert told me something about it, saying that when Lorak was being tested in the Wizard's Tower in Istah, Dragon Ball spoke to him and asked him to take him out of the coming catastrophe. ”

"So what? did he obey so easily?" said Rodrith, as soft as the brook in front of him.

Rodrith looked at Robert's face and seemed to want to say something, but held back.
