"What do you think, Ellie?"

The wind that blew down from the surrounding hillsides carried the smell of dense forest, but surprisingly there was no dull smell of decay at all.

This probably has something to do with the strange climate in the area.

It was still raining heavily, but now it's like a lie, basking in the sun.

After the ghost of Suressagard finished his speech, we were invited out by Lord Judith.

Her words don't match her words, but I can roughly understand from her words that staying in this pyramid for too long can take a toll on our lives.

Well...... After looking at her witch-like wilting appearance, Elle and I immediately believed it.

So now it's a breath of fresh air at the top of the pyramid.

"I think those ghosts might be able to travel the world through torrents......"

The princess raised one finger and looked serious, and her eyes hung up like ordinary serious little girls, as if she was publishing some profound academic paper.

"Don't play dumb, I mean those ghosts, what do you think?"

Pretending to bite the little guy's erected finger, Elle quickly withdrew her hand.

"I can't put it into words, but it feels a little weird."

Ellie crooked her face, frowned, and bared her little fangs, expressing great dissatisfaction with what I had just done,

"I think so too, I always feel that it is too smooth, or rather, there are no obstacles at all......

"But isn't that explained in the words of Suressagard? He said to Judith that he wanted to see us, so we were invited into Bladetooth City."

"That's just wishful thinking, and we're not him, how can we know if what he says is true or not"

"Are you guarding the dragon?"

The little one reached out to catch the sun's rays, and the action made her feel relaxed.

"No, I'm on the lookout for enemies other than that dragon"

"Ho-ho?"

The little one sat on my shoulder, raised his hand to the sun, blocking the dazzling rays of the sun, and the wind blowing Ellie's hair from all around, and the blue strands of hair shimmered in the sun.

It is surrounded by tall straight trees, like servants clustered around the pyramid, surrounding the building, dotting the building while also protecting it.

As far as the eye can see, Ellie and I have only seen the true face of Bladetooth City for the first time-

Surrounding this valley, stone houses are built on the surrounding ridges.

There is no palace or hall, it is purely a one-family residence.

But unlike the inconspicuous utilitarian homes of the Dawn Mountains, every building here is meticulously crafted.

The bright exterior wall, even if it was submerged by the vine, did not stain the slightest soil.

The pillars looked like water curtains hanging from umbrellas, soft and crystal clear.

The windows are intricately carved and fit perfectly into the arched façade, as if they had been cut out of the wall.

Each building is kept at a distance from the rest and scattered in the forest, creating a reasonable density that allows wind and vegetation to move freely through the city.

It seems that there is neither public entertainment nor corporate worship, and all the spirits here are at one with nature.

Guidance from the Ancestors?

Not like.

They are more like a bunch of grave keepers who stick to the rules.

From the first time I saw the elven sentinels, I had this feeling, indescribable, but I could smell stubbornness and rigidity in them.

"Hahaha, that's of course~ Otherwise, how could this city have been hiding in the bushes for thousands of years?"

The birthplace of the elves.

Any great elven family, the footprints of their ancestors will be traced back to the city.

Strangely, however, the city's inhabitants have remained insulated from the outside world.

What is it that has such great power?

If it were in the human world, the worship of totems, the belief in God, and the fear of the unknown could bind a tribe to a primeval forest.

But I don't feel any of that from the elves.

They're just ...... Obeying something more primitive, more powerful.

"You're thinking too much!"

Ellie poked my head with her fingers, complaining that my thinking was limitless and her head felt tired.

Woohoo –

The sound of a trumpet.

I'd heard it once before, after the Leader led us into Bladetooth City, his trumpet dissent the other elves.

Not to my surprise.

Immediately after the trumpet, some spirits came out of their dwellings, turned and rushed into the forest.

"Is it because of the cavemen?"

The horn just now assembled a team of more than a dozen people, which was larger than the one that 'escorted' us just now.

I'm afraid that this time they are going to complete the combat mission.

"No, have you forgotten, we came all the way just now, and we didn't see groups of cavemen"

The little guy said so, but the caveman 'group' in her impression was calculated in tens of thousands.

So the hundreds of cavemen who were so frightened by Ellie's flames that they could only be regarded as stragglers.

For the princess, it is absolutely unsightly.

"Anyway, as long as these elves don't provoke my brother"

Although I don't like Meispil, after all, the little guy is still towards the elf king.

Ellie tilted her head to enjoy the sun and the breeze, just staring at the heavily armed elves with the corner of her gaze.

It seems to be contemptuous of them, and it seems to be assessing their combat effectiveness.

But in fact, the princess would never do such a detour in her heart.

The little ones only thought in their hearts that if they were enemies, they would reduce the city to ashes.

That's all.

"Perhaps...... It's true that their target is not cavemen, but in this northern land full of demons, there are still other enemies after all, right?"

"Poof, little ghost, why are you speaking for them again, didn't you first mention that you didn't trust them?"

"Distrust is indeed distrust, and I still can't find any reason to trust these elves"

At the edge of sight, the group of elves had disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Only the green light emitted by the sporadic shuttle magic could still penetrate the thick foliage, revealing the excellent magic and skill of those elves.

"But I don't want to miss any other secrets"

"Hahaha! Kid, you really said this sentence like I said."

"Don't just laugh at me, you have a suspicion in your stomach, it's like the original me"

The little guy immediately tightened his smile and opened his mouth to bite my hand, probably to take revenge on me.

"Alright, don't make a fuss!"

As Ellie was in the mood, the weather also took a 180-degree turn.

It was a sunny day just now, and now it is already dark clouds.

The clouds drifted very low and flew very fast, covering the sky almost instantly.

"Let's go, let's go back, I don't want to get wet"

"Well, but until then......"

Elle and I had to come to an agreement.

Ghosts are not credible.

Judith mingling with these ghosts is also not credible.

What made me feel most disobedient was not the gushing arguments of the two elf kings.

Rather, it is León who first greets us at the entrance of the pyramid.

His tone, his eyes, everything up and down his body, was wrong.

Although it can be explained by Suressagard's theory, he has just returned to the torrent and has not yet re-solidified into a personality.

But the possibility that this in itself is a lie cannot be ruled out.

Suppose these ghosts don't have free will as they say.

What if Judith manipulated them with some kind of magic?

What if they are all lies?

"But why did she do it?"

"Moreover, Erestal's secret about the soul connection doesn't sound like a lie at all."

"It's better to say that you and I both know that what he said is true"

The little one's eyes were bright, and she had curiosity and doubts in her heart.

"Hmm...... There's nothing wrong with that."

"The first two, it is possible to be true, and even the third can be true"

"If anything could be fake...... That's probably ...... That's all there is to it."

The last words spoken by Suressagard.

'Your enemy is not dragons and sea monsters, but heavenly fire'.

If this is a lie.

So what kind of truth will be hidden behind it?
