At a height of thousands of meters, golden dragons spread their wings and flew like they did when they rushed to the desert with sighs a hundred years ago. The bitter wind hits, and the changing white clouds roll under their feet. Through the gaps between the white clouds, you can see that everything below has become different in sight. Looking down from a high altitude, you cannot see the village or the road. Large areas of farmland have become small color blocks, and the woods and hills have become like an inconspicuous sign on the map. The snow-covered monster forest has long disappeared from sight. At the edge of the snow field, the color of the earth is gradually changing. The land that carries everything has faded its white coat, revealing its original yellowish-brown skin. The skin is decorated with dark green occasionally in the cold winter.

Flying at high speed in the sky is obviously different from the speeding on the ground. When flying on land, all the scenery around them quickly retreats. It is these backward scenes that make people feel a clear sense of speed. But the sky is different. When soaring in the sky, everything seems to be still. Apart from the clouds moving under your feet, there is no change in the environment at all. But it is precisely in such a static situation that everything on the ground is thrown behind.

There is no shelter in the sky except the clouds. Standing on the back of the dragon, looking into the distance, the rolling mountains, the barren wilderness, and the golden lake water dyed by the sun, everything can be seen clearly, just like a painting written by the master, condensing the scene that could not have been seen at a glance into a canvas.

"Wait. Lake water?" Catherine interrupted Freya's lyricism towards the earth and asked in surprise: "How could there be lake water?"

The six people in the adventure group were riding behind Mina at this time, solving Vivian's critical life. Everyone was filled with joy. Even when facing the possible threats of the God servants, they could not erase the smiles on the girls' faces. Freya stood on the dragon's back with her hands behind her back, with an intoxication and emotion on her face, as if her eyes were unfocused, and she praised the magnificent and beautiful scenery in front of her loudly like singing a poem. Everyone was in a good mood. Even Freya's exaggerated performance was not beaten by Vivian. Instead, several girls surrounded her with interest. Whenever she heard the wonderful, she would give her a burst of applause.

Catherine's question makes sense. Although the dragon did not strictly follow the path of the arrival when it was flying, there was not too much deviation. If there were such a large lake that could still be clearly seen from a height of several thousand meters along the way, it would be impossible for a few people to miss it, but they did not see any trace of amber on the way. As a result, one suddenly appeared on the way back. This strange behavior would be difficult not to attract Catherine's attention.

"Sister, that is the most unique retrograde lake in Neville Federation." Vivian was in the best mood, not only because the hidden dangers were temporarily eliminated. It was also because of some inner touch. This kind of inner happiness did not habitually fall into deep thought at this time, but sat cross-legged on the dragon's back with her chin. The smile at the corner of her mouth could not be hidden. Hearing Catherine's question, Vivian explained with a smile: "It is found in many research reports, you can find it once you check it."

"Oh? Is this the Lake Against Lake?" Catherine obviously heard of the name and said in surprise: "It turns out that the Lake Against Lake is here, and I have also heard a lot of legends about it. This is the first time I have seen it."

"What is the retrograde lake?" Eva asked with a blank expression on Panis, "Why haven't I heard of it?"

"The Lake Against the Lake is a very special intermittent lake." Lina explained: "The area covers a wide area, with an area of ​​about four or five hundred square kilometers. Usually it is a depression, and the lake state will only appear in winter. Moreover, when other lakes freeze, there is no ice on the lake surface, and the water is very warm, just like summer. Its performance violates most natural laws, just like a rebellious child, and everything must be performed opposite to others, so everyone named it the Lake Against the Lake. As for the reason why it has such performance, it seems that no one can explain it clearly. Hey, idiot, there is indeed no accurate explanation yet."

"Are you stupid enough to call your own name when you talk to others?" Vivian gave Lina a blank look, too lazy to see her. After a casual counterattack, she explained: "There is indeed no systematic explanation. Some people say it is related to underground minerals, some say it is related to the will of gods, and some say it is related to the tide of the moon. Anyway, there are all things to say, but no one can come up with definite evidence. It is just a irresponsible conjecture. So this retrograde lake is also one of the unsolved mysteries of the Yara world. I don't know when the secrets will be revealed. By the way, is there this lake in the second century? If so, can you recall whether there is any explanation for the goblins?"

"Oh, I understand, you are talking about Lake Karipokal." Eva's eyes were dull for a moment, and she returned to her original tranquility, and said in a voice without any ups and downs: "The goblins have no explanation. Although some people speculate that it is related to some kind of fire-attribute crystal ore vein deep in the bottom layer, this conjecture can only explain the non-freezing state of the lake, but it cannot explain the intermittent characteristics of the entire lake. Even before the demise of the goblin civilization, there are still many researchers conducting geological research nearby, but there are no effective results. So if you search carefully nearby, you may find a lot of their remains."

"I've recorded it." Catherine took out a notebook at some point and said excitedly while recording it: "Haha, every excavation of goblin ruins will bring a lot of wealth. This time I really made a profit, I made a profit, hurry up, Ava, do you have any records of other ruins? Let me talk about a few more, one is OK, tell me quickly."

Even with Eva's personality, she still couldn't help rolling her eyes secretly and simply closed her mouth and said nothing. Catherine slowly became disappointed, lowered her head with regret, but carefully put the notebook in the best-quality waterproof leather bag in her hand. Then she returned to her calmness and asked as if nothing had happened: "I see the direction of our flight, it should be to the Smooth Forest. Go to that location first?"

"No." Panis shook his head and said, "After a while, you will turn east and go to the Faral Empire. First, go to the two possible locations in Faral to let Eva sense it. If it is not the target, go north and go directly to the Permanent Icefield. The Shining Forest is the last choice. Because if the ruins are really deep underground, it will be a very troublesome to enter. Let's leave it until the end to deal with it."

"Thank you." Catherine didn't ask anything more, but suddenly whispered in a slight voice: "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to save Vivian's life anyway."

Although Catherine's voice was low, Panis could still hear clearly with his keen perception ability. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head and said, "Do you remember what we agreed to do before?"

"I know, don't say these extra words of gratitude." Catherine showed a bright smile, looked up at the clear sky, and murmured: "Many people and many things do not need to say thank you. We are the closest family members, and families should support each other and rely on each other."

"So, I didn't hear your thanks just now." Panis patted Catherine on the shoulder and stood up in the sunshine: "And, isn't everything over yet? Wait until Vivian is fully recovered, if you have to say thank you, let's leave it until then."

"Ha, don't worry, you won't wait." Catherine narrowed her eyes in the dazzling sunlight, and her smile on her face hid the thoughts in her heart: "I won't say anything more, such gratitude that represents the distance between the souls and the polite and unfamiliar thanks."

The sun was dazzling and the air was cool, but Catherine's mind seemed to go back to last night and to Ms. Mina's dim nest. She still remembered that after everyone was resting last night, she sat on the steep slope outside the cave and watched the moon, but before she knew it, she smelled the breath of flowers from behind, which was the unique breath of the elf queen. She still remembered that Flar did not have the reserve of the queen, and sat side by side with her like a friend, and the two chatted

Many, many, talk about the past, the future, the dead, the living, when they are happy, when they are happy, when they are both laughing together, when they are depressed, they sigh at each other. Given Catherine's feeling, the person in front of them is not a hero who comes out of the legend, but a living life with flesh and blood. And she also feels that having the conversation tonight represents the personal recognition of the Elf Queen for herself and her people, and that they are qualified to be Panis's teammates, just like the heroes in the past.

Facing the sunshine, Catherine sighed with a smile. In her memories, the last words of the two when they talked alone made her feel uneasy.

"Actually, we should be the enemy." Flar suddenly stopped before preparing to return to the cave and said to Catherine with his back: "You should understand what I mean."

"Shouldn't we have a common enemy?" Catherine retorted with a smile.

"No, we cannot defeat that common enemy. No one can defeat an enemy that has passed away, and there is no need to think about defeating. The only enemy in front of us needs to be defeated." Flar sighed and said with some regret: "But I will not regard you as enemies. Do you know why?"

"Because we are not qualified enough?" Catherine asked. "It's still not worth your fight?"
