"Whew, wheeze." The elf girl could feel the sound of the giant dragon's breathing, and the hot air exhaled from brother Reiss' nostrils sprayed directly on her face, making her unable to breathe. "Master Dragon..." The elf girl's expression was a little uncomfortable, she backed up, let out a small and incomprehensible low cry, and then begged softly: "Don't eat me. "What's your name? Survivor of the elves." asked Reiss. He looked at the elf girl, who seemed to be simply afraid of him, and didn't have any complicated thoughts, and seemed to be a relatively naive, childish and ignorant guy. She didn't seem to realize what was going on. Perhaps when the brain was occupied by plague cells, he lost consciousness and acted entirely on instinct. "My name is Philia..."

When the elf girl Ophelia said this, her eyes widened suddenly, as if she had sensed her brother Reiss' words: "I am...the last...survivor?" "If you are not blind, just look around, and I saved you, according to the rules of dragons and elves, you have to repay me." "saved me?" Ophelia stood up tremblingly from her brother Reiss' dragon claws. She supported the scales and looked out. Then her pupils shrank suddenly, and painful memories flooded her head. "Quack........." The mutated plague crow howled in the sky, the grass was no longer there, and the trees were covered by darkness. The sky in the forest was black as far as the eye could see. Ophelia froze on the spot. The plague cells burned by brother Reiss' breath turned into black purple flames burning all over the sky, and the sky was suddenly rendered black purple. There is a faint vicious mist, and the smell of decay floats in the wind. The noisy town in the past is so quiet that only the distant wind at the entrance can be heard. Here, it was no longer what Ophelia remembered. What are these strange life forms that can be seen everywhere? Judging from the clothes, many of them are the elves of the forest—her fellow clansmen, even if they have turned into highly poisonous and rotten slime slime zombies, they are unwilling to leave their hometown, wandering here quietly. Perhaps, among them is her family... "At that time, I thought you were dead, and I almost stomped you to the ground. Your mutation is not too serious. It was my saliva that saved your life." Brother Reiss' voice interrupted Ophelia's dazed daze. "...Dragon's spit?" Ophelia looked blankly at the mucus on her body, no wonder the stinky liquid was all over her body, even the same smell was rolling in her stomach. "My cells killed the germs and brought you back from the dead. Does that count as saving you?" "I……………" She looked out a little blankly, with a sad and painful look on her face.

She stood up quietly, looking at the surrounding land on the dragon claw. Looking around, there is still a lifeless ruin outside. Suddenly Ophelia seemed to think of something, her eyes were filled with sadness, as if she would cry in the next second. "That's right...everyone...is dead...it's not a dream..." Her tears flowed down, and she kept repeating words with unknown meaning in her mouth. "Father big brother, didn't you agree to come back! Why did you abandon me! Why? Why?" Ophelia sat disheveled on the dragon's claws, shouting to the sky, dirty tears rolling down her cheeks. The sky is gray, and everything is composed of black, white and gray, except for the purple poisonous color between the plague zombie's teeth, which is the color of the plague, and even all the sounds around it are reminiscent of the depression of death. This is the forest of elves, the source of the poisonous plague! This is the place where nightmares broke out, and where the tombs of the elves are. "I know you are in pain, but don't cry yet! After answering my question, you can cry as long as you want. Brother Reiss waved his paws to interrupt Ophelia's cries. The dragon threatened people without making any expressions, because his huge size and ferocious posture just made Ophelia feel ashamed. I couldn't help but tremble all over with fright. In the face of fear, grief is secondary. Her strong desire to survive stopped her tears, and her body calmed down instinctively. "Dragon... how do you want me to repay you?" That ferocious face and the tyrannical aura rushing towards her face could not be faked. For the first time, Ophelia felt the imminent shadow of death so clearly. She folded her hands together and put them on her chest, struggling out of fear, with a sad look on her face. "Listen! Elf, I'm not joking with you! I just want to know what happened here and what's going on in the Golden Kingdom. You must answer me truthfully, otherwise..." Brother Reiss wanted to threaten Ophelia. But on second thought, She is dead and has no relatives left. After being brutally exterminated, it is estimated that the spirit is not very good now, and excessive threats may be counterproductive. "Don't you want to find out the truth?" "the truth......" Brother Reiss seemed to trigger the key words, Ophelia raised her head abruptly, nodded vigorously on her face with teardrops, she wiped away the tears, and tried hard to recall. "Master Dragon, this matter is very complicated!" "Whatever the cause of this incident, it is foreseeable that if you cannot find the clues here to unravel the truth, it will be a senseless tragedy.  … You may never know the culprit What is the culprit?" Brother Reiss already had a guess in his heart, but he wasn't sure it was that guy. "Let's answer from the very beginning, when did the plague break out."

"FE..." Ophelia clutched her forehead, sadly recalling what happened many days ago, and said: "I was playing with my friends near the forest that day, and when I returned to the village, my father and big brother returned with heavy faces. They brought bad news, saying that a large number of ratmen appeared in the depths of the forest, and they were madly attacking other creatures." "Rat people?" Brother Reiss pondered. "But it's strange that it wasn't just ratmen hanging around then?" Ophelia continued: "After the ratmen appeared, the plague gradually began to break out, but before that, I seem to have heard from my father that a powerful dragon came to the forest to look for the king of elves, and it claimed to be the golden dragon king." the apostle...?" "That's...... Wait, isn't the apostle of the Golden Dragon King called "Zhonggerd Austin Carl"? A huge mad dragon!_ It turned out to be an apostle, brother Reiss opened his eyes wide. Could it be that this matter is really related to the dragon's golden kingdom?! "No, I don't know, but it seems that the name of the apostle of the Dragon King is not Bagold, and it is not a mad dragon, but a huge red fire dragon Castari, yes, it seems to be called that." Ophelia said in confusion, she didn't understand what was going on, so she could only say everything she knew. "Also, my father told me that it may not be peaceful recently. The giant dragons in the Dragon Kingdom are more nervous, and the Elf King also saw a human being wrapped in a black robe...I'm not sure if he is He is not a human being, but he came to find the Elf King, and it seemed that the trouble was not very pleasant. Before the man left, he left a sentence: 'I came to save you, poor elves.'” Ophelia said intermittently. Her memory is very chaotic, and the timeline of the information given is not correct, but it is separated in disorder. However, before making a decision, brother Reiss sorted out the whole incident first, and might be able to discover some details that he hadn't noticed before. "Who came first, the rat man or the dragon?" Brother Reiss asked Ophelia. "Is it... a giant dragon? Yes, it should be a giant dragon. Ophelia thought for a while, then replied. "So, did the man in black appear before the dragon came, or after the dragon?" "I'm not sure, I just heard my father mention it, but my father didn't say when, and now he... woo!" Ophelia turned her head and glanced at the clansmen who lost their minds and looked like walking corpses. She felt a kind of uncontrollable sadness and anger in her heart——this damned mastermind behind the scenes! In any case... the elf of the forest had a genocide tragedy, and she didn't know what to do next. Of course, if this matter is really a conspiracy planned by evil human beings as the dead aunt said... She will fight desperately - Zhiren disappears! 0 looking for flowers...... "Yes, humans! They probably did it, because after that I heard from my aunt that she had been following people back and forth in the human town, trying to figure out what they were doing." Ophelia seemed to point the finger at humans, but Reiss shook his head.

"It's not that simple. It is impossible for human beings to have such means. Even if it was done by a lich, the dominance of the plague cells and the powerful magic power contained in them are at least at the level of the Lich King. It is impossible for human beings to have such power." They have great magic power, and their technology is not that advanced, not to mention... You may not know that the town of Talmara has been destroyed by the plague." "Talmara also... how is it possible, no... isn't it really made by humans?" Ophelia also lowered her head decadently. If it was done by human beings, then it is impossible for human beings to destroy themselves. "If not human, then who?" "Ophelia, what is your reason for doubting humans? Such as hatred, or any conflict of interest between the two races?" Brother Reiss suddenly asked. "Is it a contradiction? Humans often capture our people and sell them to other continents..." "What about the dragon?" "That doesn't exist. We elves and giant dragons have always been friends, and the dragons in the Golden Kingdom often make deals with us." ..........0 "Really, then I should know who the enemy is." Brother Reiss sorted out the information in his mind, and probably had a guess. The elves have a close relationship with the dragons of the Golden Kingdom, but they have conflicts with humans. Then the plague broke out suddenly, the elves suspected it was humans, humans suspected it was elves, and of course both sides also suspected it was ratmen... The rat man should be the scapegoat, or to poison. The real key lies in the fact that the negotiation between the man in black and the Elf King broke down, and he left behind a sentence that is not known as a threat, but the Elf King did not use force to force him to stay. What is the reason? Fear, yes, fear of strength! And the guy who can make the Elf King feel jealous is undoubtedly an extremely powerful existence, such as a giant dragon. Because the dragon can change into human form, brother Reiss is very clear about this, but his The magic power is not good, and the spells are also very good, so it can't do this, but it doesn't mean that other dragons can't do it. Back to the topic, after the man in black left, the Elf King should have asked for support from the Dragon Clan of the Golden Kingdom. The Golden Kingdom sent an apostle of the Dragon King. After talking with the Elf King, no Knowing what conditions to use, they sent a giant dragon to guard the forest. Then the plague broke out suddenly, and the giant dragon sent to guard the elf forest was also poisoned and died in some kind of attack, turning into a bone dragon, and the plague swept across the entire forest in an instant, even The nearby human towns also suffered together. But why hasn't the Dragon Clan from El Dorado sent any support after so long? There are two possibilities for the answer. The first is that they don't pay attention to the situation in the forest, despise the elves, and don't care about the death of the elves. The second is that the dragons are afraid of the plague, afraid that they will be infected with this terrible germ, so they don't approach it easily, but set fire to the forest to prevent the spread of the plague.

Judging by intelligence, the second possibility is more likely. Of course, there is another possibility that Brother Reiss dare not think about, that is, the Golden Kingdom has fallen, and when the plague breaks out, the Dragon Clan is actually dead. With fewer giant dragons, it is naturally impossible to send reinforcements. This possibility is unlikely, far more than the first two. Because brother Reiss can't imagine what kind of guy can do this. "Continue to investigate, I don't believe there are no clues here!" Brother Reiss said in a deep voice. But there are too many doubts about this matter, and the matter is of great importance. It will not be possible to reach the Dragon Kingdom from here for a while, and his intuition tells him that the truth is in the ruins in front of him. There must be something worthy of attention. Like, Dead Man's Note...! It was the last words most likely to record the truth about the plague. If you knew all of this, it might be beneficial to your next actions. Such as finding the culprit, as well as, its weakness!.
