At this moment, Erica looked up again and looked around.
Just then, Gwen's gaze met hers.
"...Please forgive my somewhat presumptuous question, Miss Erica."
Why are you here?
Her voice sounded somewhat urgent, unlike the calmness she had heard before.
She didn't know why either.
Erica gently shook her pale face and said in a weak voice:
"have no idea."
After all, she was already here when she woke up.
Gwen stood still, staring at Erica.
She could sense that Erica's tone was genuinely sincere, and her expression and weakened state were undeniable.
But……
She had never felt such longing for justice.
Why did the ability to see through lies and prove them disappear?
Erica felt a bit pressured being stared at like that by Gwen, and she pursed her lips.
“Miss Gwen, you know…”
"Before this, I had been training in the North and had never left."
"but……"
Erica recounted the entire story in detail.
This includes the appearance of the enormous black dragon in the North, above the Pale Magic Guild.
General Vladimir fought desperately, sustaining severe injuries and nearly dying.
Erica then continued:
"When that monster appeared in the skies above the North, I could feel for sure that it was staring at me."
"Moreover, I think I can hear its voice."
She continued her narration as if recalling a memory:
Erica was supposed to evacuate with the residents of the North, but as if by some inexplicable force, she found herself looking up at the towering monsters.
Above the sky, the black dragon's eyes remained fixed on her.
Erica seemed to be able to hear the voice in the black dragon's heart.
"Come with me... and leave this place."
"That's what the voice said to me."
Erica lowered her head and spoke very clearly.
What happened next was all familiar to me.
Erica took the initiative to approach the black dragon, stopped its rage, and saved countless lives in the North.
"So, I left with it. When I woke up again, I found myself here."
Upon hearing this, even Aurelion looked up at Erica.
Gwen's eyes showed a hint of emotion.
If this is true, then the girl in front of me single-handedly saved tens of thousands of residents in the North.
Gwen respected her sacrifice.
It's hard to fake this, after all, if things were as Erica said, tens of thousands of residents in the North would have seen it all clearly.
News of such a big event will definitely spread.
A simple inquiry would be enough to find out whether Erica was telling the truth.
"Hmm... do you know the elemental attributes of that monster?"
Suddenly, Cocot spoke, sitting on a cloud with her arms crossed.
Monsters all possess elemental attributes, which determines the corresponding elemental skills they can use.
For example, monsters living on volcanoes are mostly of the fire element, while monsters of the wood element naturally exist in forests.
There is also a relationship of restraint among these elemental properties.
And all of these are basic knowledge taught in college.
Erica nodded with absolute certainty.
"It's the wind."
As she spoke, she drifted into a series of memories:
"The black dragon's body emerged from between the gloomy clouds, and a violent storm raged around it."
"Whirling hurricanes rose up from the ground, and even the hard ice rose from beneath the sea surface, torn apart by the storm and turned into ice crystals."
Kokot listened to Erica's description, closed his eyes, and nodded.
"Yes, I knew it."
Aurelion quickly looked up at Cocotte.
“Congressman Yad, do you... know something?”
"Uh, this?"
Kokot seemed troubled and didn't answer directly, instead looking at Erica again.
"But I'm a little curious, why did this monster target you?"
"By the way, I remember you had a serious illness before, do you remember when your whole body was covered in bright flowers and plants?"
Erica nodded.
"I remember, it was about a month or two ago."
Erica still vividly remembers her previous coma.
Coco nodded, then looked at Aurelion.
"Little princess, do you remember when Victor took you to the Mage Council?"
Aurelion nodded quickly.
It was because of that incident that Aurelion personally experienced just how powerful her teacher was.
Kokot, however, seemed to know something, resting his chin on his hand, staring at Erica, and nodding slightly.
"Well, I do understand some of it now."
However, she seemed somewhat surprised.
because……
Just as the calamity of the wind befell Erica.
The resurrection of the Wood Calamity, and the period during which Erica fell ill.
The timing was perfect.
