"Well, I already know about this, some time ago Novi Zars and Stant from the Church came to me for this purpose. "Half of the dragon's raised head sank into the lava lake, revealing only its glowing eyes as it looked at the giant serpent hovering beside it," I replied at the time, 'The transition from the Moby Dick era to the age of the giant whale until the present time is too far away. I don't know what's going on inside the whale population, so I can't provide you with any useful information. According to the transformation crystals of the beluga whale you are talking about, if that kind of thing is obtained by the giant whale, it can indeed give birth to the re-growth and evolution of some giant whales, but the time has been so long, and how much it can play can only be judged by the actual situation." ”

"That's my answer, although my mental range is unusually wide, but the Polar Sea Vortex was originally a cage designed to hold me. As he spoke, the dragon raised its huge front paws, and the sound of chains clashing passed through the sea, and then through the serpent's body, reaching Laetitia's ears, "The power of these things is still there, I think everything has rotted into ashes in such a long time, but not a single chain has been broken in time." It's impossible to know what's going on in the Endless Sea, you're bound to be disappointed when you come here, I don't have the answer you want here. ”

"But as a reward for coming to me from such a long distance, I can tell you something else. The voice was unemotional, and the dragon continued, "The best thing that transformation crystal can bring to the whale is probably to make one of them become a beluga whale of this era." But compared to the beluga whale in the ancient history period in your mouth, the gap is not as simple as a star and a half. ”

"It doesn't matter to us if any of the whales become beluga whales, even for a long time, there are individuals in the whale population who have escaped the confines imprinted on their heads. I wonder what Eleno can get from the whale right now, and what options she has to choose from. Laetitia asked. In the serpent's stomach pouch, she was sitting cross-legged. It wasn't pitch black inside, she was in a small room-like space made entirely of flesh and blood, and there was even a little light like a lamp illuminating the space, which seemed to be an absolute safe place.

"Option?" "Emotion appeared in the dragon's voice, like a mockery of Laetitia, "Elenor of the Queen's Continent deserves to be so serious as you?"

"As the aftermath continent that remains from the roots of the World Tree, we have to be vigilant. Laetitia, who had long been uninterested in these words, replied very seriously, "In addition, the team of the Natural Association Alliance has also set off, and this time they will go together with the people of the Church to bring back the complete body of the target 'Kasia'. ”

It seemed that the last sentence was the point, and after Laetitia had finished speaking, the dragon thought for a moment and did not respond for a moment. That's exactly what Laetitia wants to see.

"Yes, I just need a result, and I don't care about the process and who will get it there. The dragon's words reverted to the way they were, "I hope there can be relative peace between you, and the result is the most important thing, and don't let the disharmony between you ruin what I want." ”

"You can rest assured that after I leave here, I will have to continue to visit the two popes of the present generation, Stent and Novi Sad. I haven't seen Norvi Sars in decades, and I still have some things to talk to him about. ”

"Is that Elenor on the Houxiang Continent?"

"It's just one of them. The serpent has spread its body and is ready to leave, "There are still things to discuss about the Far Sea Commons and the Flame Alliance. You should know a little bit about these two countries that have been propped up by both of us, right?"

The dragon didn't answer directly: "It's inevitable to lose control." With that, the dragon's head sank completely into the lava lake, but the voice still came, "Laetitia, remember to help me bring a message to Novisas, this is also said to you - eternal life is not a difficult thing for me, but you need to pay accordingly." The whole body of Kasia with the head removed is a very large part of the reward, and I hope you both don't disappoint me. ”

"Surely I will bring your word to Novi Thas. Needless to say, when I go to the church, Novi Zars will ask me with great concern. "The serpent swam down the slope of the deep seabed. As it was about to disappear into the light of the lava lake, the dragon's voice came into Laetitia's head again, "The remains of the trunk of the World Tree are indeed a good thing, and its collapse has preserved the corpses of many creatures from ancient history. But I do want to remind you that not all things in ancient history are good, and that the things you take out of the wreckage of the World Tree can bring you unexpected disasters. ”

"Times have changed, and we've found a solution. Laetitia responded, and then disappeared into the darkness entirely.

When the dragon's hideous head was raised again, Laetitia and the serpent's breath had long since disappeared completely. The dragon turned its head to look in that direction, and then raised one of its front paws. More than a dozen chains of unknown material pierced through the claws, locking them completely.

As the dragon shook its claws slightly, under the red light of the lava lake, more than a dozen iron chains could still be found covered with deep red rust, but in addition, there were also a large number of subtle cracks on most of the iron chains that were not easy to detect, and the same as the cracks on the thirsty ground. There is no way to detect if the dragon does not lift its front paws.

"Time is running out, and it's running out. The voice echoed in his head, and the dragon sank his head with an irrepressible excitement. It had forgotten how long it had waited for such an opportunity. Memories even overlap over a long span of history, and then these overlapping memories begin to decay over time, just like these iron chains, and become countless worthless fragments.

Soon after, the area fell into a daily calm again, and the churning of the lava lake became much smaller after that.

Resting in the nearest city, the local organization members took care of all the formalities for them.

In the afternoon of the next day, Adolf and another group of men caught up with them. However, he did not make any stops, and the communication said that he would pass by the city in the afternoon and continue towards the border of the Empire.

A day after the restart, Kasia bought a new suitcase, as well as a full box of new books. The rest of the journey was as quiet as he had imagined. Two days later, they went to the next small country, and also took the right-angled bend in the route of the intercontinental train, and began to close the distance to the Empire's border more quickly.

On the third day on the intercontinental train, at noon, the heat flow from the solid red mercury in her abdomen suddenly intensified, causing Kasia, who was reading a book, to raise her head. Closing the book, Kasia leaned back in the seat of the car, recalling memories of those days.

"The second-generation holy sword seems to be inducing something in my body to grow faster?"
