In front of you is a long stretch of gray-yellow hills. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Kagantu led us out of the cavemen's cave, the journey was like this for several hours on end, so much so that one wondered if we were going in circles.

"What's the matter, the little ghost believes in my magic, how can something like a direction be wrong?"

"Oh, is it a soul link again?"

Timia saw that Elle had answered my words plainly, and she reacted immediately.

"It's so convenient, it's so enviable"

Timia looked at me and Ellie with a grin, but she didn't have to think about it to know she was just trying to tease the two of us.

"You're pretty enviable, you don't even have to walk"

Elle didn't look back, so she retorted.

Because I was worried about Timia's injury, I kept holding the elf girl, and although her leg injury had been healed and her magic had recovered, the princess's right hand was in a pretty bad condition.

Burned by molten metal with no ability to cast her magic, and then trapped in a caveman cave for days, Timia now has little strength left.

Even if she regained some magic, it can only be said that she saved her life, and it is difficult to say whether the injury on her hand can be repaired in the end......

'Imp, trust our doctor in the Dawn Mountains, even if Timia's entire hand is burned, he can make a similar replacement'

Oh......

I recall that at the Grand Arena of the Red Cedars, Meispier stabbed me in the shoulder with a sword, making a large hole in it.

Mr. Saidnas, a polymath of the Dawn Mountains, helped me to repair the wound, and I didn't feel anything strange at all.

Although an old soldier like Kong Yunlei can see that I have been 'wounded by a gunshot', it is only that level, and there is nothing serious.

"Timia, don't worry, we'll go back to the Dawn Mountains to help you heal as soon as possible."

"Hmph~ For the sake of our friendship, I will let them take special care of you~"

Elle, who was floating in front of us, turned around and said with a playful smile.

"It's a rare opportunity, why don't we just go to the White Wood Valley and have a drink?"

Ellie was about to drool as she spoke.

"Sounds good, I want to go to the Dawn Mountains, but I can't do it now, right?"

Unexpectedly, Timia is not only not interested in Ellie's proposal, but even says that she doesn't want to go to the Dawn Mountains?

"Timia!What's wrong with you, what did they do to your skull!?"

As if the sky was falling, Ellie hurriedly floated over and pinched Timia's shoulders with both hands, and screamed with her eyes wide open.

"Poof, don't tease Elle"

Timia, who was lying limply in my arms, reached out with her left hand and nudged Ellie gently, as if she didn't like the little one getting too close.

"I'm St. Timia El Yunsong, unlike some stupid lady."

"Tsk!"

Ellie's face changed instantly when she was taunted by Timia, and it was as if she were saying, 'Why didn't the dragon kill this little thing'.

"Don't hide it from me, I know better than you what the situation is in the north now"

"Uh......"

When I was told that I was in my heart, Ellie and I didn't dare to squeak.

Talking and laughing with Timia along the way, both to distract her from the injury and to avoid talking about the current situation, which was a real mess.

Millions of cavemen were heading towards the Dawn Mountains, while Mespil was moving with the Northern Expeditionary Army in the direction of the Satie chieftains.

It was only a matter of time before the troglodyte and the elven king's armies were in close combat, and from my and Ellie's guesses, Sluka, the dragon, would definitely use the opportunity to make a big deal in the north.

In the worst-case scenario, as Liu Xiao predicted, the elves of the north may even become puppets of the dragon, working with the Satie chieftains and the cavemen to flank Mespil.

That would be the worst case scenario for an Elven King who would lead a small army out of the Dawn Mountains to fight.

Elle and I agreed to go to the Gallantu to find the Relic Throne, and the biggest reason was to help Mespil.

"If the cavemen can really get out of this fight......"

"Do you two really trust that big lizard? He's a caveman?"

Timia glared at me and Ellie in disbelief.

"You don't want to trust the elves of our north, but rather the cavemen?"

"Timia, that's not the case"

Presumably because of her captivity in the caveman's lair, Timia was a bit out of her sense when she mentioned it.

"Sruka is in action"

"You mean the dragon?"

When Timia heard the dragon's name, she gritted her teeth, wishing she could fight the dragon to the death right now.

It's a bad friend who has played with Elle since childhood, and even this kind of place is subtly similar......

'Quela, why does it sound like you're speaking ill of me again?'

"Well, anyway, like the lizard said, I'm going to get revenge."

Timia shifted gears and seemed to let go of some of her hostility.

"But from what you guys say, I'm more worried about Tolmange than I am."

Timia's feeling of worrying about her home is worthy of an elf princess......

"Stinky little ghost, I've been silent for a long time, and you're getting more and more energetic, aren't you?"

This time, it's hard to change Elle.

"Ho, it's a soul link again...... It doesn't seem like it's all good, right?"

"It's Timia, who realized it all at once"

"Uh-huh~"

Timia, who was too weak to stand up, deliberately made a spirited appearance and threw her nose at us, as if she didn't want our journey to become too monotonous.

"But that's a long way to go."

"That's natural, if you need to walk, it's a whole week's journey to Satie Chieftain."

"Why didn't you say it earlier!?"

"You didn't ask, I thought you were going to finish this journey, little ghost?"

Well, I retract the preface, it seems that Timia also has a time when she is confused.

"What to do, Ellie"

"Go aside, don't ask me"

The little guy pouted and got angry.

Teleportation ...... I can't use perceptual magic, so I don't dare to use it at all.

"Levitation Charm"

At least fly at a low altitude, and then drop down and continue walking when you reach the border of the Satie Emirate, which will save you a lot of time.

Whew――

I flew up with Timia in my arms and a levitation charm, and Elle suddenly jumped forward.

"Why are you running so fast?"

"Stinky little ghost, dead little ghost, stupid little ghost-!"

Ellie's voice pulled out farther and farther away from me.

What is this little girl doing, this is still the hinterland of the enemy, and she is starting to lose her temper.

Timia patted me on the shoulder.

“dontmind”

"Go, I'm not down to the point where I need your comfort."

Whew――

With the Levitation Charm and the magic of the wind, my mobility is much better than that of Ellie, who can only use fire magic.

"Can you hold on to Timia?"

"I don't know who taught me the mantra to relieve pain, but did he forget it himself?"

I taught Timia the trick of using the Water Shaping Charm to ease the pain, but it didn't heal the injury.

At least fly at a speed acceptable to the wounded.

I glanced back at the land behind me, and the slowly receding earth-gray hills chased after us like countless hideous cavemen.

Timia was rescued, but it wasn't a victory - we were in an empty nest.

Whatever Sluka's purpose, he managed to drag us through the wild canyon.
