Flowing water and sandbanks, the surrounding scene is as if it is soaked in the sea.

But this is only an illusion.

Those blue-green glowing waves are the shadows of the torrent.

And these elves standing in front of us are just ghosts that have long since passed away.

The scene inside this pyramid is always the same, as if falling into the abyss of the universe, and there is no movement at all.

Nothing but the crackling campfire in the center of the sandbar indicates the passage of time.

How long Elle and I have been in Bladetooth City, we don't know.

It's just that Judith has a small hourglass around her waist, and every time the sand inside is about to fall, Elle and I have to leave the pyramid for a while.

Otherwise, we will be trapped in this dark and silent space, just like the lord of Bladetooth City.

"Hey, 10th"

The princess's red-hot magic flowed down from her hands and cooled down to form a flat stone brick.

Ellie had wanted to carve into the rock at the doorway to record the first time we had escaped through a gap in the torrent.

But she soon discovered that the building was so hard that neither physical nor magical blows had any effect on it.

It's as if you're dead in a torrent, completely unaffected by living creatures.

Unleashing a larger area of magic could lead to expulsion from Bladetooth City.

So the princess could only use her magic power to make some molten magma, so that these red things would naturally cool down, forming pieces of cold igneous rock.

We both used them to keep track of time.

The sky is full of stars.

This time I came out just in time for the evening.

"Look over there!"

The stars diluted the darkness that covered the land, leaving only a gray fog.

You can see the emerald green flashes of emerald green released by the impact of mana in the forest far away.

It was a unique trace of magic for the inhabitants of Bladefang.

"Isn't that unusual?"

The little guy couldn't lift his energy at all, after all, he had seen it too many times.

"These guys know it, it's going to be it, it's going to be every day, every night."

The princess was talking about the sounds of the elves as they fought.

Recently, a large group of cavemen have broken into the surroundings of Bladetooth City, so most of the elves in the city are on the right track.

The sound of the incantation exploding came back from a long distance ahead, like a non-stop shelling that lasted for many days and nights.

Occasionally, weary warriors can be seen coming out of the forest and returning to their houses.

Probably the next day they will be back to the front again.

Dead line of defense.

In contrast, the Dawn Mountains are always lined with banners, and warriors play war songs and learn from each other.

When hidden, it was completely silent, as if tens of thousands of people had disappeared out of thin air.

When charging, the earth is shaking, and the warriors will compare themselves to each other by the number of enemies they kill.

Even in positional battles, the mages of the White Wooden Tower are not willing to settle for boring turn-based battles, and they always use their greatest power to distinguish the winner from the first blow.

Of course, it's not because the mages are thrill-seekers like Ellie, but because they prefer to spend their time in the White Wood Tower.

"Woo-"

The little one suddenly felt bored, and turned upside down on me, lying on top of my head, motionless like a dead fish.

"Isn't there anything interesting?"

"Little Ancestor, we are in Blade Tooth City, and we only have one chance in a few hundred years."

"I don't like it, it's just a tomb, what's the point?"

I can understand Ellie's feelings, but I have long felt this way in my heart.

This trip was unlike anything we had before.

For days on end, I could only listen to the ghosts chatting on the dimly lit sandbank.

It's just boring to the point of being boring.

"Little ghost, take me back, I miss the human world a little"

Woo, Ellie's words sound a little touching.

But she doesn't really care about the human world in her heart, she just misses the TV series she has been chasing before.

It's been the sixth season, what kind of adventures will the protagonists encounter next......

"Hey Ellie, don't set up such a flag, it's like going back to your hometown to get married after the battle"

Tie the knot......

In the past, when I thought of this word, Elle and I would suddenly feel so shy and embarrassed that we didn't even dare to look at each other.

But now, the little guy just glared at me with a mocking expression.

It's not fun at all.

"Speaking of which, we're old husbands and wives, aren't we?"

"Uh-huh, yes, yes, let's go back."

Ellie patted me on the shoulder, we've had enough rest, it's time to go back to the old witch.

After listening to the ghost's nonsense for so long, Elle and I have made up our minds - a showdown.

The black gate is like a camouflage, the light is not transparent, and the wind cannot blow in.

When you step inside, the surroundings will turn completely black, except for the light streaks that look like an aurora in the distance.

If you go any further, you'll find yourself walking in ankle-submerging streams that glow the color of the aurora as if they were electrified.

Where the streams converge into a river, on a sandbar, a bonfire is lit.

A group of ghosts sat around Judith.

It's weird.

It's hard to believe that this is the heart of Bladetooth City, the birthplace of all elves.

"Judith-sama"

I spoke in place of Ellie, asking the lord of Bladefang one last question.

"Which side are you on?"

"Huh?"

The witch didn't seem to understand me, her shriveled but shining eyes fixed on me.

It was as if some kind of witchcraft had been used, and I could feel her gaze probing me.

"Mespil, or Sluka?"

The city lord lowered her brow slightly, as if she didn't expect me and Elle to ask so directly.

"Hmph"

She snorted unhappily, then flicked the flames in front of her with her hand.

"Although I want to say that it is a matter for you outsiders, and it has nothing to do with us in Bladetooth City."

After saying this, she didn't look up, but rolled her eyelids and glared at me with her pupils.

"But, as you can see, I'm an elf after all"

As she spoke, she grabbed some powder from the purse around her waist and sprinkled it on the campfire.

"Then I'll do the same thing as the other elves"

The witch's face was colorless, and her expression was low and undulating, as if she had been forced to say these words.

"I'll Defend Bladetooth City"

"I've been doing this for the last 7,000 years"

"Just like my ancestors"

She'll defend Bladetooth City.

That's the ultimate answer she gave us.

In other words, she still chose to remain independent and not join the camp of Mespier.

But it doesn't matter, at least, the mission given to us by the Elf King has been accomplished.

We've figured out where Bladetooth stands......

If, as Mespier said, this place has not been encroached upon by dragons.

Suppose the scrawny witch wasn't lying.

"Probably Mespier asked you to spy on Bladetooth City, right?"

The witch didn't look up, still fiddling with her divination bones and sawdust.

I can't answer, it's better not to say anything at this juncture.

"He knows that as long as I'm in this realm, I won't be bothered by anyone's magic"

"This is the crack of the world, the gate of the torrent"

"The dragon's magic cannot intrude on me, he can neither threaten me nor tempt me"

"Are you satisfied?"

The witch looked up, her expression of disgust, as if to tell me and Elle to get out of here.

"Thank you, Lord Judith of Bladetooth City"

After saying the last sentence, I was ready to leave with a depressed Ellie.

“...... Clear...... Liu...... Xiaoqing!"

Ay!?

Just as I was about to turn around, there was a faint sound from the campfire.

"Huh...... It's really, really."

Judith's eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost.

Oh no, she looks like she's seeing a living person, uh...... That doesn't seem right either.

All in all, the sound coming from the campfire was a surprise to her!

Someone is calling me.

"Who?"

“...... Get back ......"

The voice was faint, and I could only hear these three words.

"Xia Yumiao??"

Elle and I were also taken aback, and leaned in front of the campfire, trying to figure out where the sound was coming from.

"Anyone else can get here?"

Judith held her hands high and her eyes wide.

"How could she get into the torrent?"

Into the torrent?

If it's Xia Yumiao's guardian elf, it can indeed be done.

In other words, that girl is trying to call me by all means!

"The human world!"

A flash of lightning flashed through my head, and I connected all the encounters in this time into a line.

I suddenly felt a tingling sensation all over my body, and a cold sweat broke out.

"Sruka in the human world!"

Could it be that all of us have ignored this!?
