"The man who attacked Issadul Makusugi, that is, Liu Xiaoqing"

"Burning Charm used"

As soon as Mespier's four words were finished, there was a dense burst of speech in the stands around the council. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"And based on this spell, I have reason to infer that the caster is a dragon."

"Impossible"

Before Mespil's words fell, someone in the stands directly refuted it.

Immediately afterward, there was a cacophony of voices from the audience, just like in the elementary school classroom where the teacher did not come to class.

Elle sat on my shoulder, Liu Xiao stood beside me, and the three of us stood behind Mespier.

Looking around, everyone was talking to the people next to them.

A dull and extremely tense atmosphere permeated the hall.

In the stands diagonally opposite Meispil, an elderly elf in a green robe stood up.

His green beard was wrapped around his waist like a belt.

"The Last Dragon Buried in the Dead Fire Mountains"

His voice was full of vicissitudes and sounded like a historian.

"The Battle of the Seven Kings took place long before the Heavenly Fire fell"

"Dragons rarely live longer than a million years, let alone that far back in antiquity"

"Mespier, you're too aggressive in this matter"

Mespier?

He called Mespil by his first name and accused the Elven King of being too radical.

It seems that the Dawn Council is indeed very contextual, and the 'very sorry' in Mespier's opening remarks does not seem to be deliberately modest.

"Other than that"

On the opposite side of the stands, another old man dressed in white coarse cloth stood up.

His speech caught everyone's attention, including that of the Elven King Mespier.

Suddenly, there was silence in the council hall.

"What I'd like to hear is that you need to explain why you used the relic, the Roof Ice Flower."

All the councillors' heads snapped back, all eyes fixed on Mespil.

I immediately felt a burning on my face.

Mespier saved my life with this relic, but it looks like it's against the rules......

"Liu Xiaoqing, an adventurer from the human race, passed my trial through the witness of the whole people, and received the name Issadul Makusugi"

"He is one of the people of the Dawn Mountains"

"It is not a waste to save his life with this holy relic"

The long man in the stands took a breath and seemed to have a lot of dissatisfaction, but he was also reluctant to continue arguing with Mespil.

I turned my head and asked Elle quietly.

"What exactly is the relic, the 'Roof Ice Flower'?"

Ellie also put her mouth close to my ear and whispered.

"The center of the Dawn Mountains, there is the highest snow-capped mountain in the whole continent, the Roof Ridge Mountains"

"Occasionally, a large amount of ice magic will gather together to form the shape of a flower"

"It's the holy artifact 'Roof Ice Flower', the elves of the Dawn Mountains, who use this sacred relic to prevent the eruption of Dawn Volcano"

I'm a god!

In order to save my life, Mespier used such an important holy relic?

If I were a member of the Dawn Council, I would have been angry!

What if the Dawn Volcano is about to erupt?

"Don't worry"

Ellie's voice was loud, she raised her head, looked at the old man in the stands in the distance, and said loudly.

"I can control the eruption of the volcano, I'm not the same little girl anymore"

"Huhahaha......"

A burst of laughter was remembered from the stands of the council.

These elves such as grandfathers and grandmothers, uncles and aunts, and uncles and sisters-in-law seem to be laughing at Ellie.

Well...... Ellie's size really doesn't look like a 'little girl anymore'.

It hurts.

Elle squeezed me the shoulder.

This little guy ......

"I trust this"

The old elf in coarse cloth spoke again, his tone as serious as his expression.

It seems that he genuinely approves of Elle.

"So about the roof ice flower, no longer pursue"

Whew――

It seems that the stone in my heart can fall to the ground.

"However, I need to remind everyone that Mespier's inference about dragons cannot be ignored."

The old man's words startled everyone around him and began to whisper again.

"Little Devil of the Akasugi Family, let's hear your thoughts"

Ah, come on, this kind of name has finally appeared, not only directly calling names, but even the words "little ghost" have appeared.

Looking over from the voice, on the edge of the bleachers near the stone wall of the hall, in a hidden corner, sat an elf dressed in rags.

He wore a taupe-brown rag-like cloak.

His face was nowhere to be seen, only a gray stray beard.

"Creatures that can use high-level magic like dragons appear in the illusion"

Unexpectedly, Meispier was not angry at all.

"Not to steal secrets, not to collect magic, but to assassinate a human adventurer?"

Mespier's question caused another round of discussion among those around him.

It seems that some people are starting to agree with Mespier's view.

"Shows that this creature has a very clear goal and a meticulous plan"

"His actions are coming to the surface here, most likely as a last resort"

"This creature is probably secretly gathering power"

The commotion around was noticeable, and it seemed that more people were beginning to agree with Mespil.

"It's also possible that he's just a madman"

The elf who stood up first and said the impossible three words just now added another sentence.

"But I'd rather think in the worst"

Meispil went toe-to-toe.

After a cacophony, a female elf in a gorgeous red dress stood up.

"We agree with you, Maispil, send your men to search for him"

"Allies throughout the Dawn Mountains and beyond, will support your actions"

Her demeanor was steady and decent, and her voice was dignified and generous, like an elf queen.

Mespil nodded to the lady, and she nodded to Mespil as well.

"Let's talk about the next one"

Another bearded elf said to Maispil.

Maispear turned around and stared at Liu Xiao.

I felt Liu Xiao's hand suddenly clench a little.

I also instinctively tightened Liu Xiao's hand a little.

Meispear turned around and stood behind Liu Xiao and gently placed his two hands on Liu Xiao's shoulders.

It's like introducing your own daughter to everyone.

"Please allow me to introduce, Isadul Makusugi's sister, Liu Xiao"

"And—"

What's what?

My heart is pounding, what is this guy Meispear trying to do to beat Liu Xiao?

I wouldn't agree!

"And her Patron Spirit, Seline Lydia"

Almost as soon as Mespier's words were spoken, the whole hall fell silent.

Quietly, I could hear the sound of Liu Xiao's heart beating and me.

The sound of air coming in through the surrounding doors can be heard.

It seems that a single hair can be heard clearly when it falls to the ground.

How did it come about?

What's wrong, what's wrong?

It seemed like I wasn't the only one in the hall who knew what was going on.

The elven councillors in the stands, no matter what kind of clothes they were wearing, all looked surprised.

It seemed surprising that they couldn't even say anything to question or refute, so everyone was silent.

The female elf in the red gift stood up, seeking confirmation in an inquiring tone.

"You mean, Celine Ledia?"

"What's that?"

I asked Elle quietly.

Before Ellie could speak, Mespier confirmed to the lady.

"Yes, Celine Lydia Skyfire"

Woo......

The head is dizzy and the scalp is numb.

It was a little too fast, and I felt like I couldn't keep up.

Sky...... Skyfire?

"Of course, it's not a complete gesture"

Mespier's voice rang out again, echoing through the hall.

"After the heavenly fire fell to the ground, it once took on the appearance of an elf"

"The second Elven King after the Great Apocalypse, Suresagad Cliff, brought ten Elven warriors to besiege the Elves of Skyfire and caused considerable damage"

"Her figurative image was shattered into many fragments"

"And now, in this Liu Xiao's body, one of them is reflected"

The councillors suddenly shouted as if they had erupted, and the whole hall was thrown into chaos.

Of course, before them, I was in a mess.

I looked up at Mespier.

I don't know if I want to seek the truth of the matter, or what I want to do, but I just look at him at a loss.

He responded to me with a silver-white gaze as steady as a silver lamp.

Let me know that there is not a lie in his words.

"Do you think that your sister's talent comes from your human genes?"

Maispear smiled, seemingly very excited and happy.

Of course, Meispil, who likes powerful things, is not happy to meet the elves of heavenly fire.

I looked back at Liu Xiao, and then I noticed that the trembling in her hands had stopped.

Could it be that she already knew?

I blinked.

Liu Xiao seemed to immediately understand what I was asking, and she nodded at me.

"Yesterday in the library, I found it with Ellie"

"Suresagad Cliff, the Book of Classics"

"It is recorded that he once led ten elves to launch a siege against a fiery elf, and died of serious injuries"

"The Elven King's tomb was built on the plateau to the west of the Black Fire Mountains, which is also the farthest point where the Skyfire rages"

"Over the next hundred years, the Heavenly Fire gradually lost its power, and the Reflection World was able to escape the fate of being consumed by the Heavenly Fire."

I looked back at Ellie, and the little one nodded at me.

Looks like I'm going to have to come to terms with that.

My sister.

It may be the most powerful guardian elf in the entire Dawn World.

"But"

Mespier went on to explain to the parliamentarians.

"The Guardian Elves of Skyfire exhibit traits that are completely different from ours"

The noise in the hall had subsided considerably, and everyone seemed to want to hear what Meispil had to say.

"She is completely independent from Liu Xiao, and in the holy artifact 'Spirit Reflection', she is even able to think and change without being affected by the host."

The surrounding elves shouted again, a little annoying, but it also showed their curiosity about the guardian elf.

"Based on these observations, I have come to infer that Liu Xiao will never be able to control her guardian spirits."

There was a hint of regret in Mespier's tone.

This affection seems to be revealed inadvertently, but more than anything it shows that Mespier is not lying.

"The last thing is"

Meispier raised his voice.

There was uneasiness in his voice, and he could hear it because it was so close.

At the same time, Ellie's hand on my shoulder tightened.

"I announce the dissolution of my engagement to Princess Elice Herana"

Flute.

I was completely stunned.

Ellie, who sat on my shoulder, kept her head down, afraid to look at Mespier, and at the same time, her hands were shaking.

Mespier!

What the hell are you thinking!?
