His Majesty the King arranged extremely rich activities for them, hoping to let the guests understand the great culture and advanced technology of Vivier in just a few days. After visiting the big market, Is continued to watch the lively songs and dances for almost a whole day, went to a really beautiful village to learn about the traditional lifestyle of the Vivier people, and sat in a hover car in their most prosperous city to admire the wonderfully designed tall buildings... and finally visited their metal smelter and research institute.

The dwarf Bass, who had serious work to do, breathed a sigh of relief. In the past few days, he watched Tess and the others busy all day but couldn't get into the hands. He always felt that he was a little redundant, and Is always didn't speak much, which made him lonely.

Vivier's metal smelting technology is actually just that. In addition to the amount and proportion of various materials that the dwarves mastered better, the most special thing is that a certain solution they used to decompose metals is extracted from a plant with local specialties, which can greatly improve the purity of the metal. However, of course, the composition of this solution is a secret.

Bass didn't have to know. The dwarves' method of refining metals was actually relatively single, but because of their resonance with rocks, or affinity, they had no idea about various minerals. Now they have begun to learn various other methods of smelting metals. The Viver people's techniques can give them a lot of inspiration even if they just take a quick look at them.

After the most important task was completed, they should have left. However, Tes and their plan to save the princess did not seem to go well, and they still haven't figured out what the princess had encountered...or, it was really just her own imagination.

Nana was not discouraged at all, and she had a lot of fun every day. Of course, the princess was not good at the high-difficulty throwing and catching balls that Xiaolong liked, but she was very good at checkers with Vivier characteristics. Is looked at Nana's happy look, and finally accepted the enthusiastic retention of His Majesty the King and decided to stay until the Tuca Festival five days later.

When Xiaolong and the little princess were mixed together, Is was not nothing to do.

This time he brought the cane. When he was free, he could enter the small world created by Yanakga and visit Ikabird Beria, who had temporarily settled in it.

There was originally an elf-style building in this small "garden", which was prepared by Yanakga for him and his wife. Ikabird accidentally disturbed the peace of his former owner and built a simple wooden house for himself in another place.

Of course, Is collected rent. In various ways.

Thinking about this, it's really touching. He once hated this priest who forced him to show his half-human and half-dragon appearance when he didn't know anything. At that time, the physical pain almost tore his soul apart. He once thought that one day he would let the fat and bald middle-aged priest feel his past pain, but now, they have become peace and contentment...because of collaborators.

The only way they fought was probably to sarcastically sarcasticly.

Ikabbard is still studying the source stone, and also studying the ore they brought back from the planet full of huge worms and constantly erupting volcanic eruptions.

He believes there is some connection between the two.

Is thinks that the ores are probably fragments of dead gods—he has felt similar powers in the body of the god in hell, and Ikabird scoffs at his feelings.

"Strength," he said, "all forces, even if not the same, must be connected. They can always transform into each other in some way, and judge the connection between the two things with purely 'similar'... Even Ed Singer would not make such a low-level mistake."

"This is not 'feeling', it is 'intuition'!" Ice sneered at him, "Do you need me to let you understand what a one-stop intuition means?"

"You dragons," Ichabird said lightly, "Isn't it because he relies too much on intuition, blood inheritance, and so on, and refuses to keep learning and researching?"

They spent a day when they almost fought but didn't fight after all in friendly discussions.

Of course, Is did not forget Tiana and Amister, nor did he forget the failed revenge of the Nadens and his unexpected gains. Unfortunately, Tiana's consciousness had completely disappeared and could no longer answer his questions. After the throne celebration that was indescribable whether it was success or failure, whether it was Amister, who was watching the fun, or the young emperor Xinjia, who knew he was a puppet, had to hurry up and walked forward without giving up, did not appear in front of him again.

They will definitely do something, but as long as they don't mess with him, he will not come to him on his own initiative.

He was a little interested in the "they" mentioned by Tyana - those who were hiding behind the scenes, but more interested in the way the Nadden manipulated his mental power. If he could control the time like Tyana, if he could reach the beginning or end of time again, he would find Ed again.

He will bring him back one day... when he is ready.

Even Ed himself said it, right? The power of that place is of the same origin as him.

He can definitely do it!

Speaking of which, Ikabird also wanted to study his mental power, and Is unceremoniously suggested that he start with studying his own brain.

His trust in the pastor has not reached this point.

In short, he has a direction, so he has been full of energy and is in a good mood recently. He is willing to play with Nana and the others for a few more days.

However, Nana and the others' "game" progressed very slowly.

The little princess was very cautious, as if she felt staring at her eyes from all directions and never reveal anything easily... and it was true that there were people around her at all times. The whole thing seemed to have really become a complex puzzle game. Jonita gave some obscure tips from time to time, and then they tried every means to solve it, verify whether it was correct, and then solve the next mystery... If the little princess' attitude was not really serious, Tais would have suspected that she was playing with them - no one had dared to play with her!

It took several days before they finally sorted out some fragments and formed an incredible "fact".

"She said," Arsie said, "No, it should be 'she felt' that her father, and many people around her, were not real people at all, but 'Skida'."

"…what is that?" Is asked.

"A monster in the legend of Vivier is probably what we called the 'demon' before." Tess shrugged, "To be precise, it's more like the kind of magic you and Ed have caught, which can swallow people and disguise them as that person."

But Arsey secretly used magic to test the few people who the little princess said were "Skidda", but there was no result.

"At least, as my spells investigate, they are ordinary people like everyone else." Arsey said helplessly.

She had to start wondering whether Jonita was the real problem.

"It's not that she deliberately deceived us or something." She said, "but it wouldn't be impossible if she grew up in an overly closed environment, her mother died too early, her father wouldn't care about her, and she had no friends of the same age... some imaginations in her mind."

"I think that's not necessarily her fantasy." Tess refused to admit that they had been in vain. "There is another way to prove it now--She said, Einese knew it."

Her cousin also knew that there were many people in this palace, but they were actually not the original one.

This is their tacit secret.

However, Einese obviously couldn't protect himself, so of course he didn't care about saving Jonita.

"What do you think he's going to tell the truth," said Arsey. "I don't think he's going to tell the truth."

The young man who smiled and didn't touch anything was obviously very slippery.

"So," Tais rubbed his hands, "we can prepare for the second game!"

The "game" she mentioned is arranged at the Tuca Festival two days later.

The Viver people seem to like to join in the fun, so the Tuca Festival is like their big market, and it is also a lively festival that makes Iss headache. In his opinion, this festival, which "celebrates the past of the dark age, the arrival of peace and light", is a super large group maze game. Everyone is drilling around in various mazes designed in strange ways. Those who complete the ending as soon as possible can get super luxurious rewards provided by the royal family and become heroes of the Tuca Festival.

He really... doesn't want to join in the fun at all!

But Nana's eyes lit up when she heard the word "hero", even though she should be the mortal enemy of all kinds of heroes in the legendary story, a fierce evil dragon was the one who kept everyone off at the end of the maze.

But now, she is a little dragon who wants to play both a hero and a villain, and does not accept any objection or rejection.
