I don’t know that after a long time, in the semi-plane alien space inside the Storm Hill Seal Prison, the knight who had been slapped away by a bear before finally slowly woke up again.

“…”

"Well……"

The knight's fingers moved first, and then, as his body turned, he finally slowly opened his eyes.

“??”

"I……"

Looking at his hands, the knight who was sitting up slowly felt a little unbelievable.

"strangeness."

"No...dead?"

Because, he clearly remembered that he seemed to have encountered a lackey sent by Marika before, and then she fought with the other party. In the end, although he tried his best, he was still shot away by the monster summoned by the other party. But now, not only did he not die, but he also felt that he seemed to be in no way injured?

"This is……"

"Criminal?"

After pausing, he found himself still in this lonely prison, he sighed, and then did not get up. He sat on the ground with his armor and lowered his head.

“…”

He just sat motionlessly without saying a word.

As a powerful furnace knight, I have been locked up here for many years. Time has become meaningless to him, and he has long been used to passing the time by sitting alone.

At the beginning, there were jailmen here, but later, he managed to kill them all one by one, but it was useless. Even if he killed everyone, he still couldn't escape.

During this period, during these countless years, he had prayed more than once, calling on the primitive golden holy tree to gain the power to break the seal.

But unfortunately, he failed...

I don’t know if it was the one who made the move, or if something went wrong with the Golden Tree, for example, being interfered by the evil Alden beast?

In short, what he received from countless years of prayer was nothing but dead silence!

The ancient golden tree may have been changed by the foreign beast and the Marica, and never blessed them with grace. If it weren't for his golden tree's holy mark, he would have been unwaveringly responding to his prayers, he would have turned into a dry bone that could not be sleepy forever.

However, that was useless. Although prayer allowed him to gain the power to maintain the cursed life and the furnace of all phases, it was not enough to get him out of here.

next time……

If anyone else came here again, he felt that he might not act as reckless as before, and would carefully test and seek a safer way to get a chance to escape?

But it's too late to regret now.

After all, he failed, so he would continue to be trapped in a prison and continue to experience the bitterness and loneliness that belonged only to him in those almost endless years.

...

"Hey!"

☆(o*)

"Uncle, are you sad enough?"

()

Sudden!

The Knight of the Furnace was complaining about himself. When he was silently sitting on the ground in prison and remorse and recalling the past, something lightly tapped the helmet on the back of his head. Then, a little girl jumped in front of him, and then, the cute pretty face stretched towards his helmet curiously, and the big green eyes that seemed to be able to speak were blinking, like the stars of the ancient Golden Tree Age.

“!!”

"you!!"

Seeing this, the shocked Knight of the Furnace was first shocked, and then he subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch his waist.

pity……

He only touched the empty scabbard, and his great sword was no longer there at this time.

But it doesn't matter!

You know, he is a powerful furnace knight. Even if he has no weapons and shields around him, he is confident enough to subdue the other party even if he has such strange magical skills.

However……

“!?”

Before he could put his ideas into practice, he froze again and dared not make any extra moves.

Because, when he saw that the giant bear that had slapped him away with a slap, he walked over and stood behind the little girl in front of him, and used his hideous expression, his big mouth full of fangs and the dark red flame burning all over his body to threaten him silently.

“…”

So, after first weighing the pros and cons of the gains and losses, he accepted his fate, gave up the idea of ​​counterattack, and continued to sit on the ground of the seal prison, and stared at the little girl with "human fake bear power" in front of him through the gap of his furnace axe-shaped helmet.

"It seems that he is completely awake?"

(.)

"That's great!"

(=^▽^=)

Seeing that the other party gradually relaxed and felt that she might no longer need to let the bear teach him how to be a human being, Annie hurriedly cheered, and then stood in front of the other party so pretty and continued to ask cutely:

"Shushu!"

()

"Who are you, why are you locked up here?"

()

Anne asked without any concern.

Although, what she originally wanted to ask was how to get to Stoneville City, now, that question is not urgent. After all, she is even more curious about this one now.

“…”

The furnace knight did not answer, but continued to stare at the little girl in front of him through his helmet.

for a long time……

He looked up at the giant bear who was waiting for battle behind the other party again. He weighed the matter again and glanced at the weapons and shields thrown on the edge of the prison in the distance. Finally, he felt that he might not have any chance. Then he closed his eyes and turned his head to look aside.

“??”

(.)

"Shu Shu, are you a mute?"

˙˙)

"Or, are you deaf?"

'-')

Ding! Ding!

Anne, who was a little strange in her heart, asked again, and did not see her at all, and she carefully knocked on the other party's helmet, causing her to make two crisp sounds.

“!!”

!?('')

Wow!!

The next second, Annie saw that the other party turned his head fiercely and glared at her fiercely. She was so scared that she quickly jumped away before slowly turning back.

Obviously, the other party used his movements and his fierce little eyes to show her: He was neither deaf nor mute, but he just simply didn't want to answer her questions?

"Don't want to talk?"

(ー`ー)

“…”

(ˇεˇ)

Now Annie was a little stunned.

Because the other party's non-violent and uncooperative attitude really made her feel a little troubled, so she had to think of a more reliable way.

“…”

(ˇˇ)

"Have it!"

()°

Soon, just stared at the other party, then glanced at the empty seal prison, Anne clapped her hands and thought of an excellent way to deal with the other party's attitude.

"Hey!"
