“...... That's the way it is. Elliott whispered. The knight stood straddling the middle of the laboratory, forced to bend slightly due to the height constraints of the room, a gesture that combined with the worry in his eyes set the tone for the conversation.

"What!" Jonah jumped up at once, "in which direction did they go? Why did they wait until dawn to tell me?

Sibby's face was pale, and he sat on the edge of the bed blankly: "Sister Longji left me and left, I don't know anything......" The Stuart siblings next to him glanced at each other, and did not make a sound for the time being, Hannah reached out and grabbed the shoulder of the little grasshopper, comforting the half-elf who was stiff from shock.

The Rose Knight shook his head, his blue pupils filled with sorrow: "Can't catch up, Lord Jonah." Yesterday we witnessed the enemy's posture, which was much more powerful than us, the middle-aged man in black...... At least with the strength of Storm Knight. What's more, Miss Long Ji won't allow us to chase after us, Mr. Long Shenlan, can you start explaining?"

Everyone's eyes focused on the man in the center of the room, and Xiaolong's eyes were red and swollen and he said, "It's all my fault! If I hadn't revealed the information of her old man to Grandpa Shadow Sect, and used the sound transmission technique in 'Humble Dragon' to summon Grandma to leave the enchantment to protect her, how could she have been easily taken away? Until the last Grandma was protecting me, I didn't even notice that Grandpa Great-Grandpa secretly summoned the 'Scythe Dragon', if it wasn't for Grandma Grandma Grandma Sect Sect to stop me from pounceing on it, I would have been cut into thousands of pieces!" Speaking of this, this delicate young man's mouth flattened, and he looked like he was about to cry again.

"Don't talk nonsense!" shouted Jonah as he strode up to him, "who is the one who took her?

Elliott tried to say something, but hesitated to close his mouth. The companions had never seen Jonah show such a look, the familiar gentle, kind, always thinking about others was gone, and standing in front of them was a big man with a loud voice, a dignified fifth-level fire astrologer, a real man who involuntarily exuded a compelling momentum because of the worry and anger in his heart.

Xiaolong lowered his head and gritted his teeth loudly: "I can't say the name of the great grandfather of the Long family, otherwise I will commit the crime of trespassing...... But his old man is the contemporary head of the Long family! The previous generation of the head of the family, Grandpa Taizu, had the title of Storm Knight, but Grandpa Greatgrandpa's strength is said to have long surpassed Grandpa Taizu, and he is known as the first person in the three hundred years of the Long family to have all the 'Nine Laws'!"

"Master of the Dragon Family?" Jonah's fingers trembled, and it wasn't out of fear. The moment he heard the news that Long Ji had been taken away, he realized how much weight this black-eyed woman occupied in the bottom of his heart, as if a steel spoon with sharp edges had dug hard at the heart, taking away a piece of hot flesh dripping with hot blood, the whole heart was mutilated, and every beat brought bone-chilling pain.

At this time, the unicorn raised its head, the sharp horns emitted neon-colored magical light, the lilac aura enveloped the fifth-level astrologer, and the amplification magic "Sheila's Tears of Sorrow" brought a calming, soothing, and calming effect, the raised green tendons on the back of Jonah's hand gradually disappeared, and the boy let out a long breath, temporarily stabilizing his mind.

"If memory serves, you are the seventeenth generation of the Long family, Mr. Long Shenlan. "According to your title, the fathers are sixteen generations, the grandfathers and grandmothers are fifteen, the grandparents and grandmothers are fourteen generations, and the great-grandparents are thirteen generations, right?"

"Yes. The little dragon replied with his head down.

"Then the current head of the Long family is Miss Long Ji's father. Judging by their conversations and characteristics, there should be a blood relationship between the two......" the knight whispered.

"Yes, Grandpa Taizu is the biological father of Grandma in charge, which many people don't know, only the members of the Shadow Sect know. Xiaolong replied immediately.

There was silence in the room for a while. Jonah spoke, "What is he taking Ryuhime back for?"

"I don't know...... Xiaolong slapped himself in the face, and said with remorse: "I thought that Grandpa Taizu went out for a private visit, and when he heard the news of the punishment of the grandmother, he wanted to come over to visit, but I didn't expect that the elders would arrest the grandmother and go back, and I vaguely heard what the charges were, I don't know...... Grandma has not been back to the Long family for many years, what kind of trumped-up charges can be placed on her? Grandma rescued me from the battlefield and helped me complete the mission of the Lantai family, which is a great kindness to me, if something happens to me because of me, if something happens to me......

"Enough. Jonah said lightly. He stood up, put his belongings into his fawn skin bag, straightened his clothes, examined the necklace on his chest, the belt around his waist, Edinmont, and the staff in his hand, and walked to the large laboratory cabinet to select some suitable spellcasting materials, scrolls, and gems to put in the bag, and walked steadily towards the door.

"Are you going to chase her alone?" asked Hannah.

Jonah didn't look back.

"You're going to die, cargo dude!" Danny shouted.

Jonah didn't look back.

"I'm going too!Wait for my brother!Let's go and bring Sister Long Ji back!" The little grasshopper jumped up and rushed over with tears in her eyes.

Jonah didn't look back.

"The word 'partner' is used in no context, Lord Jonah. "But please listen to the next message before making a decision." ”

Jonah's back shuddered slightly, and he stopped next to the door, his right hand resting on the doorknob.

Long Shenlan spoke: "Grandma Commander said a few words in my ear before leaving, the first sentence was, 'Tell them not to come to me under any circumstances!'"

The 17-year-old boy's hand unconsciously strained and clattered the boxwood doorknob.

"The second sentence is, 'Tell your friends what you have learned from the magician.'" "Here's the information I've gotten from the Sorceres, Dumain Zulema: he's a member of a secret organization in the Red Brotherhood, and they believe that an artifact originally owned by the Wizards' Guild is on the top floor of the Tower! ”

"It's at the top of Babel, no wonder ......," Jonah muttered to himself.

"The third sentence is, 'Take that sword back to the dragon's house'. This sentence was said to me, and the sword should be pointing at the famous sword that originally belonged to the Long family. The dragon said, gesturing to the side, where the rusty black sword wielded by the King of Assassins and retrieved from the void by Madame Duran at the Black Cat Cafe was resting quietly against the wall.

"The fourth sentence. When Long Shenlan said this, he wiped away the tears on his face: "'I'm sorry!'"

Jonah's back froze.

Elliott spoke, "The news about the artifact is very important to us. Now the information is only in the hands of that small organization, and once the other party starts to act, our chances of obtaining the artifact will become very slim, and we must take it now! Lord Jonah is tasked with finding the artifact, and if you want to resurrect the Chambermaster, this is a crucial part......"

"Uncle!" the little grasshopper called out in a panic, rubbing her wheat-colored hair frantically: "If you don't grab the artifact now, you won't be able to resurrect the uncle!"

The Rose Knight nodded: "This is the situation we are facing. Lord Jonah, the decision on how we should act, this must be up to you. ”

The 17-year-old boy turned around slowly, "I'm sorry, Eli, little grasshopper, everyone...... In any case, I have to go to Ryuhime, and I'll go right away. ”

The knight sighed, "Lord Jonah, please take a look at this map. A topographical map of the Eastern Continent hung on the wall, and Elliott raised his riding gun, the tip of which pointed to a vague pattern in the center of the map: "This is the only way to go from the Southern Shang Kingdom to Pingyin, the capital of the Liang Sui Kingdom, and to go there, you must pass through this area." Your Excellency Long Shenscale. ”

Xiaolong introduced: "This is the largest group of lakes and swamps in the entire Eastern Continent, named Yunmengze, according to ancient books, 10,000 rivers in the entire continent flow into Yunmengze from all directions, and then flow into the holy river by two large rivers 'Siqin River' and 'Weiyuan River'. Although the river presents a variety of colors due to the different terroirs along the way, the water of Yunmengze is a dead gray color, and there is no living creature in it, and once it sinks into the lake or falls into the swamp, it will definitely die...... Not to mention the wild beasts and demonic beasts that are mixed in the meantime, even the caravan only dares to travel along the corner of the post road under heavy protection, once the rainy season arrives and the road is flooded, the trade road will be cut off, and the road can only be borrowed from the Eastern Hou Qin State, and the distance is 1,800 miles more......"

Jonah froze.

The Rose Knight sighed, "That's it, Lord Jonah. ”

The eighth prophecy of Seglas the Betrayer came before his eyes. "Merging 10,000 colors turns gray, merging 10,000 elements turns gray, and when the fourth sun rises, Ayala sinks in the gray lake. "Isn't this exactly the portrayal of Yun Mengze? The last sentence is clearly an omen of death, that is to say, the fate of going to Pingyin City in the Liang Sui Kingdom has long been doomed by the nameless book?

The buddies looked at him.

It wasn't hard to make a decision, and the confusion only existed for a moment in Jonah's mind. He raised his head, his eyes full of determination and firmness beyond his age, "I don't know how to make decisions, I just know that some things have to be done." Eli, you find a way to break into the Tower of Babel and seize the artifact, and Xiaolong and I set off for Pingyin City. So be it. ”

The doorknob turned, the door opened, Hannah Stewart stood up sharply, Danny held his sister firmly from behind, the little grasshopper stood in the middle of the room looking around in a sad expression, and the rose knight quietly looked at the back of the astrologer.

No matter what, the choice is a betrayal. Jonah chose to listen to the voice of his heart.
