The sea washes over the bare reef of Nog Island.

If viewed from the sky, the continent of Kadolissa looks like a picture carved in jade, however, this art-like picture seems to have been torn apart, and clear cracks spread all over the continent. Nog Island sits in the middle of the debris, and the waves crash around the island, and through the waves you can see the dense forests of another land. Nog Island is small, no bigger than one of Alcatia's bustling "upper neighborhoods", and although it is separated from the forest by the sea, there are not many trees on the island. Perennial waves have left the island with bare reefs and cliffs on its shore, and a small low town on the island is covered in colorful bryophytes. It's like a forgotten ruin.

Even if you set foot on this small island, it is still lifeless. Surprisingly, it's not uninhabited.

Few people know that the island of Nogue, so close to the royal city of Kadolissa, is actually a secret prison.

Two Feather Clan guards patrol the corridors of the prison.

The prison is built into a small town, and the intricate corridors are like a labyrinth, and there is hardly a guard who has not lost his way when he first arrives. There are no candles on the lampstands on either side of the corridor, only small lamps made of shrub zuò that glow in the dark. The light of the shrubs gradually dims, from bright white to eerie green, and finally disappears completely, so the lights here have to be changed every once in a while.

Most of the Feather Clan guards didn't want to work on Nog Island, and even though they had always been loyal, they couldn't help but complain about this unfortunate errand. Dim lights. Boring patrols day after day, the howling of the sea breeze and waves like a repetitive nightmare. The corridors here have few windows and stand under curved domes. It makes you feel like you're standing in a grave.

"You, what are you going to do? let me go!"

Screams of anger and fear came from underground not far from them. The guards were stunned, this is rare. There are very few prisoners on Nogue Island, and they are often criminals who are related to the aristocracy and cannot be made public, and the people who hold this prison are the noble royal family of the city of Kadolissa. The environment here can quickly wear down people's morale, and no Feather Clan likes to be locked up in a low town surrounded by the sea. Not even that Feather Clan likes to go underground.

This time, though, humans were caught in.

Continent of Kadolissa. Very few foreign people visit. As loyal silver-faced guards, they would never inquire about things they shouldn't know, but not asking doesn't mean they won't be curious. The two guards only knew that they were prisoners that Her Majesty had asked the Queen to be held here. A woman of the same race, two very young-looking humans. In order to capture them, the queen even used personal guards, and did not hesitate to use magic to make them fall asleep. Are they dangerous? It's hard not to be curious about the guards.

Before they could think about it, a dull thud sounded underground, and the two guards immediately rushed towards the place where the sound sounded.

"Don't you say it?" said another, in an imposing voice, "since you dare to deceive me...... Then go die. ”

"Uh-"

The screaming voice instantly turned into a labored whimper, and the guards couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw this scene from above the patio. The young human man grabbed the Feather woman by the neck with both hands and pressed her against the wall, and the Feather woman blushed. Grathered out a sad wheezing sound. Her fingers trembled, and her blue pupils looked like she was dying.

Without hesitation. The guards opened the door to the patio - the net glowing green - drew their swords and jumped straight down, and the guards who jumped down did not forget to untie the chain ladder. Since the two of them served as guards on Nog Island, they hadn't encountered such an emergency!

"Na'er!"

Just as the guard who jumped down first was about to rush to stop the human man, the human man suddenly said a very strange word.

The wind was blowing overhead.

The Feather Clan guard suddenly stopped. From the corner of the ceiling, which they had not expected at all, a shadow leaped out, carrying a deadly silver light. Someone is hiding in the corner between the ceiling and the wall! The human girl swirled and fell with the force of her small dagger and stabbed him in the back of the neck. Blood gushed out like a fountain.

Boom!

As he fell, his companion had locked onto the assassin, his thin sword glowing with white runes pointed straight behind the girl. One qiē happened so suddenly, and before he could feel shocked or angry, his body reacted first.

The girl stood on one foot, spinning on the ground as if dancing, the blade of the dagger meeting the rapier with unmistakable precision. But then the girl screamed, leaned back, and the dagger flew out of her hand.

Her strength is not great, although she is agile, she can't block the blow of the Feather Clan Guard! The Feather Clan Guard can't let go of this opportunity, after a sword piercing the air, he immediately withdrew the sword and slashed at the throat of the girl who was sitting on the ground.

It was as if there was a cold air behind him.

Something was wrong!, he suddenly realized, he didn't seem to hear the sound of the metal dagger landing. The dagger didn't fall to the floor, it didn't fall into the pile of dry leaves—

Swish!

The cold air condensed into an ice blade slashed straight at his waist.

The Feather Clan guard sat on the ground, his sword still in one hand, and the wound on his waist tightly covered with the other. The wound was not deep, but it was bleeding all the time, and the severe pain made his eyes black, and he couldn't even breathe.

I never thought I would encounter this kind of thing on Nog Island before...... The human boy who looked very young, holding a dagger that flew out in his hand, and a cold white mist lingered around the dagger, this was the magic of ice.

"You...... Magician?" the Feather Clan guard gritted his teeth, sweat drenching his body.

"It's easy to speak the lingua franca. The human boy let out a sigh of relief, and then, raising his eyes, he looked at the feather guard. Even though the guard was wearing a silver mask, it felt as if the human could see through anything.

"Who captured us?"

The Feather Clan guards were silent. He knew that the human mage was dangerous, but he would not betray his mission. He clenched his sword tightly.

"We're not bad people, and I don't want to hurt you if I could. The human mage said, his gaze more cautious, "I want to know...... Do you know where your queen is?"

As he said this, the human mage glanced at the Feather Maiden at the foot of the wall.

As if she had not yet recovered from her fright, the girl sat on her knees in a pile of dry leaves, her hands on her throat. (To be continued)
