May 21, afternoon. A breeze blows on the plains.

Glori's people stopped in front of the cave. As soon as the reins were loosened, the horse fell asleep on its stomach. Glori took a closer look at the surroundings of the cave, and there was no trace of being touched, whether it was the thorny path woven by rotten vines or the ancient vine curtains covering the cave.

Seeing that nothing was going wrong, Glori looked at the pod. Knowing what he meant, Pod took the moonlight in his palm and blew it away. When the moonlight is sprinkled on the ancient vines, the ancient vines burrow back into the ground.

At that time, Glori rushed into the cave to find Aina.

"Aina!"

Glori didn't see Aina at first glance, so he had to look around. He looked at the blankets made of haystacks, and at the back of the rocks. Why is there no one? Could it be that someone has silently broken through the ancient vine trap? However, the ancient vine trap lying in the cave has not moved, what is going on?

"Aina, we're back, where are you?

After that, Glori scanned the dark corners, and the starlight was still illuminated, but there was no trace of Aina.

"Aina!" called out Pod as she put her hand to her mouth. She was afraid that her weak voice would not be able to summon Aina. Why did Aina just disappear like that?, Pod looked at Glori suspiciously, and then asked Glori's friends for help.

"Glori, what about your new friend? What's wrong? Besides, there's ashes of magic here. ”

Zoe found the remnants of magic in the crevices of the rocks beside the haystacks—dusty specks of light that flickered and flickered, not yet exhausted to the last of their magic. All this is due to Zoe's habit of collecting books, she always tucks the stolen books into the cracks in the walls, so it is natural to look at the rock cracks. She enveloped her right hand with flames, forming a protective film, then gently drew the ashes out, holding it in her left hand with a flaming glove.

"Glori...... Look at what Zoe has found. Iris pulled the hem of her skirt to the left with her hand, stepping on the rocks and walking towards Zoe.

"Green points of light...... Even for those who are familiar with it, we can't tell who the owner of magic is. Some magic requires a combination of different attributes, like the joint sword technique I used with Dylan, which contains the magic of divine power and fire - if the magic is balanced, it will be blue and red, otherwise, it will be one of the colors. However, one thing is certain, the ashes of magic have not disappeared yet, which means that the people who have been here have just left. ”

Glori thought as he looked at the magic ashes Zoe was holding in his hand. Where did Aina go? The trap was placed by the pod, and she might know a clue. So, he looked at the pod.

"Traps, we've seen them, and we've not been passive at all. Therefore, I don't have the slightest clue. Do you have a way of telling which way they're leaving?" Mulling shook her head at Glori, walking to the exit of the cave and looking around.

"Well, maybe this little guy can help us. ”

Iris thought of the phoenix chick dozing on her shoulder. The little creature stood on Elris's right shoulder, clutching the blue warbler's filigree embroidery, closing his eyes and pressing Elrith's cheek for a moment, and then waking up like a nightmare and shaking his head.

"It's a good idea, but our little friend is still dozing off. I'm going to wake it up. Zoe threw a small flame from her left hand. The flames flew to the nestling's beak, and it swallowed it with its eyes closed. Zoe looked embarrassed, she certainly knew that now was not the time to frolic. She immediately straightened out: "It slept soundly. We'll have to think of something else. ”

"Feeling the wind, it seems to want to tell us something. Glori walked out of the cave and stood beside Pod.

There were the same fluctuations in mana in the south wind as the magic ashes, and Glori realized that the guy who had just left had probably gone in the direction of the south. Where are they going? All the way south is the cliff north of Redcliff City. Could it be that this was done by the believers who traveled to the church at night?

"It's not just the ripples of magic left in the wind, it's also the smell, the smell of fruit. Well, I think about it. The pod took a deep breath.

"Crestal Fruit...... In addition to this, there is a strong smell of alcohol. Like Susan, the master of the magic used magic to intensify the flavor. They should not be far from here, and they are deliberately luring us over. ”

Although Glori said so, he had no bottom in his heart. He wasn't sure if it was friend or foe. "We have to go over and see. Friends, follow me!"

Dylan woke up the horse, picked up Ireth and got him on the horse, then nodded to Glory in agreement. And Zoe and Pod also got on the horse.

"Hopefully, they are not enemies. Glori gestured to the north of the Glaive Cliff. He grabbed the horse's belly between his legs and galloped away.

After a while, the horse team stopped under the cliff. Glori was bewildered by the appearance of a small stone house that had been built at some unknown point in the hollow in front of him. Moreover, he also saw three handsome white war horses. "We have to be careful, just like when we were kids, we went to the caves. ”

"Glori, let's go over and have a look," Dylan dismounted, "and I smelled the meat." Perhaps, the girl you are talking about, Aina, is eating something delicious. ”

Dylan pursed his lips. He was obsessed with the delicious taste of the barbecue. But it was better not to be a beauty, or Susan would be sad, and luckily Pod was helping Glorry, not taking a fancy to him. On the way, I heard Glori say that Susan was still alive and overjoyed. Hopefully, he Glori and Susan can get along as they did when they were children.

"We're going to go over and see anyway, Aina needs us. Let's go, Dylan. Zoe, the three of you are here for now. Glori gripped the hilt of his sword.

Aina is a poor little girl who, ever since her mother was assassinated, all she can remember is that she was saved by Glori. Glori felt that he should take good care of her and not let her slip through the cracks. Of course, he still felt a little guilty because Aina's mother died right in front of his eyes, and he couldn't stop it.

"Of course, you can go. Good luck to both of you. I'll look at these two, a girl of unknown origin and a noble lady. Neither of these guys is reassuring. Zoe leaned back on the horse and tugged at the loose flame glove.

Zoe can't rest assured, and Iris is too innocent. Three years ago, she and Irris's friends had been led into the trap of Order by traitors at the time, and they had lost their former friends.

"Everything will be fine. Glori nodded, looking at Zoe. He knew that she was thinking about the past, and he knew the truth of "being bitten by a snake for one year, and being afraid of the well rope for ten years". "But Pod isn't a bad person, you need to relax. He said.

Afterwards, Glori and Dylan cautiously walked towards the stone house. Glori could hear voices talking in the stone house, but it was faint. He knew that the people in the house had spotted the two of them.

"Is anyone there?"

Glori simply shouted outside the stone house. He wanted to break in directly, but he was worried that it would cause unnecessary trouble, so he could only remain polite. He saw Dylan walking around impatiently, and he shook his head when he saw Dylan swallowing. "We're not here to be guests, we're here to find people. Dylan, you've got to resist the temptation of good food. ”

"Hear who this is? It's Mr. Carlos!" Christopher heard the voice and ran out of the stone house.

"Christopher! That's when Glori reassured.

There was also Aina's voice in the room, and she was humming a song. Then, another person who surprised Glori even more appeared.

"Haha, are you okay? My friend, long time no see. Will walked out happily. He and Glori hugged each other like brothers.

"It's a surprise, why are you here? ”

Glori asked happily. And Dylan rushed straight in, sat down next to Aina, and tore a piece of rabbit meat. Aina stared at Dylan with wide eyes, not knowing what to say.

"Hello, new friend. But you're so small, I thought Glori was ...... Ha ha. Forget it, nothing matters now. Come on, you should really eat more, this meat is delicious. Dylan looked at the stunned Aina and said with a smile.

Sensing that Dylan was shrugging at him, Glori waved at the three of Areth and asked them to come over. Zoe, who was already eager to try new magic, was disappointed. She looked at Elrith, and then at Pod.

Zoe said, "That'...... Let's go over too, it seems, the matter is settled. But she was still holding a ball of fire in her hand, enough to blast a big hole in the grass and, if repaired, swim in it!

"Zoe, your heart is so big that sometimes I don't even know what you're thinking. Iris sighed. She thought Zoe was going to bombard the stone house with this magic.

"It seems that Mr. Carlos is lucky, this is a reunion of old friends. Pod pouted, leading the horse and following Zoe and the two. After that, she went to the stone house with Zoe and Ireth and heard Aina's voice.

"Brother, you can try it too. This is delicious, it was made by Miss Joy. Aina snatched a chunk of Dylan's freshly torn flesh and handed it to Glori.

The piece of meat in Dylan's hand hadn't finished yet, and he was afraid that the lump of meat on the shelf would be eaten, so he tore two more pieces and held them in his hand.

"You...... Well, this piece is yours. "Dylan was frustrated, and the most he feared in his life was the kids who robbed him of food.

"Look, your Dylan has met a nemesis. Zoe said to Iris with a smile as she just walked through the door.

Iris looked at the girl in front of her, as if sensing something. She felt that this little girl was unusual. "Hmm......" When she saw Aina's eyes, she stopped talking. She wasn't sure what she was thinking, so she didn't say anything or ask.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is something important about you coming in person, right?" Glori looked at Wei.

"Glori, you forgot, I made that promise come true," Will reminded Glori. He sat gracefully, more poised than he had before he became King Gudian, but he still spoke in the same tone: "If you don't help me find the Spirit Source King, then I'll be as depressed as Dylan who was robbed of his delicious food." ”

"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't remember, it's that you shouldn't have left there, it's dangerous here. In the southern cliffs is the site of the Night Wandering Church, and Gudo's legions are nearby. It is said that Thorne's swordsmen also appeared in this area. "Glori fears that the brave King Kanono will be killed. Moreover, the bishop of the Night Tour Church also rescued Baron Victor, right under the nose of King Shenno.

"It's not good to worry all the time. You should put the words of that day into reality, and the agreement between men cannot be reversed. Wei Zheng said.

With that, Glori and Will were silent for a moment. Christopher, who was sitting by the wall, saw that the atmosphere had become awkward and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Joe.

"Your Majesty, you are quite right. However, Mr. Carlos is for your safety, and we cannot escape the shackles of reality. Pod said lightly.

"Your Majesty, I can't guarantee your safety, I never cheat on friends, this is the principle! I did agree to the agreement that day, but if you look at the current situation, you should choose more carefully. ”

Glori knew that nothing could be solved without moving forward, but he just wanted to warn Wei to focus on the big picture. He knew that Wei was a king with broad horizons, and he also knew that he seemed reckless to speak like this.

"I don't see you these days, and you don't feel like yourself anymore. Mr. Carlos, this is not the human friend I know. You...... Cowardly......" Wei said, shaking his head.

"I'm still me...... But you're right, it's not me. I was just...... The reality is really too cruel. "Glori is melancholy. He looked at Aina with a guilty look.

"Brother, you should fulfill your promise. Aina looked at Glori innocently, her eyes blinking.

"I ...... I will keep my promise. After a short rest, we can go, and the horses need to rest too," Glori took a breath and let gritty take over, "If anyone wants to be ill-intentioned towards you, then I'll stop him." My buddies will protect you too. However, you also need to help us find clues to awaken the dragon god. Hopefully, you've got everything in place. ”

"Very good! Agreed! This is the blue star I know! I'm really happy to be with you again. Wei said with satisfaction.

Then, Christopher, who wanted to lighten the mood, filled his glasses with Crester drinks one by one. Everyone raised their glasses.

"Isn't it time for us to get out of here, there's nothing here, and there's a shadow that keeps watching through the rocks. Aina said disgustedly. When she saw Pod go out, she pouted and looked at Glori, but didn't hide behind her. "Hopefully the pods won't be scared, the guy is in the rock pile to the north. ”

"Pods aren't scared. We just have to wait. Glori explained.

"Glori, you should thank Your Majesty. He saved your friend Aina's life," Christopher said, leaning against Joy's back, "and it's a Flying Monster bred by the Order." ”

"It turns out that there are no footprints for this reason. I'm sorry that I forgot to say thank you when I was just saying hello happily. Glori smiled.

"Not far from the stone house, the corpse of the flying monster landed there. Wei said, gesturing to the east side of the stone house. However, they were all inside the stone hut and couldn't see the outside at all.

"It was a bird monster with four legs and only one eye. Judy shrugged and squeezed Christopher's back.

At this point, Pod catches the stalker who is hiding behind the rocks. When Glori ripped off the stalker's mask, he was surprised.
