After leaving the lively Snow Creek City in the south and going back north, I have not yet walked out for a few days, but I have already begun to feel that the power of winter is gradually recovering, and people finally realize that it is already December when the snow has begun to blow.

Different from the lively mood when I came, on the way back, everyone didn't seem to talk so much, just chatted normally, and then watched the scenery outside the window gradually turn from green to white.

Of course, all of you who are already familiar with the mermaid's song are still the same as usual, chatting during the day, taking out the cards used for pastime and playing them, and when you order something to eat, you can stop the carriage and solve it on the side of the road when it is convenient.

If you come across a town, you will take a little rest to let your body's fatigue recover a little. Although the offer to stay in a hotel was rejected by Eero many times, everyone finally headed in the direction of Pelican Town without any danger along the way.

But......

Admittedly, the interior of Mermaid Song is not as lively as usual. This very obvious sense of difference undoubtedly comes from the latest addition to the Mermaid's Song, the Vice-President of the Night One's Clan, the Spearman's Cheese.

Phew————

The carriage had been running around for a day, and after it had darkened, the people were still tired, so they pitched their tents and camped on the leeward side. It didn't take long for the tent to hear the soft snoring of the crowd.

The snow drifts slowly in the sky, but unlike the beautiful snowflakes seen in Pelican Town, the snow in the wilderness always feels very bleak.

The wind blew the snow and blew the tent with a loud noise. Some huge hailstones will make some strange noises around them.

Maybe it's because the sound is too loud, or maybe it's because I still slept too much along the way, and I have nowhere to vent my energy, so I'm not sleepy. After the wind beat the tent again, Brad rubbed his eyes and got up sleepless.

He got up cautiously, and he didn't dare to move in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, so he could only rely on his memories before falling asleep to reach out and gently touch the nest made of layers of cotton wool and branches. It was only after he got closer, and heard the soft snoring of Parfay from the nest, that he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to lie down again.

But before he was about to lie down, a shadow outside the tent made him slightly stunned.

After thinking about it, Brad took out his coat and draped it over his shoulders and quietly reached out of the tent. I saw a man who was also wrapped in an overcoat now sitting cross-legged in the camp of the people, staring blankly at the bonfire that had not yet been completely wet with snow.

"Mr. Cheese?"

Brad called softly.

Cheese, who was sitting by the campfire, turned his head, his scarlet pupils standing out even in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers. Although he had known it for a long time, when he suddenly saw such a pair of eyes, Brad involuntarily shrank a little.

"Hmph."

Cheese could also see Brad's winched expression, and let out a cold snort at the corner of his mouth, and turned back to look at the campfire again. It seemed that the extinguishing bonfire was more interesting to him than the people of this guild.

"Oh, your eyes are so scary! It's really scary to see it all of a sudden. Mr. Cheese, your eyes must be so bright at night, you must be able to see them very clearly, right? ”

But to Cheese's surprise, the guy who was still despised by him just now actually opened his mouth and pointed out his terrible eyes. And after that, he sat directly next to Cheese and looked at himself with great interest.

Cheese's brow furrowed slightly, and he simply put down the dead branch in his hand and said, "Although I joined your guild, don't think that I sincerely joined you. You can continue to be afraid of me, it's okay, I won't be in your guild for long anyway. ”

Brad tilted his head, thought about it, and then laughed innocently again: "Whatever, I just know that President Blue seems to have some things to deal with by himself." Until then, Mr. Cheese didn't care how long he wanted to stay in our guild. I'm sure the president must have thought the same way, and we welcome Mr. Cheese in the Mermaid Song! ”

"Welcome? Scold. Cheese clapped his hands and said in a slightly mocking tone, "Just you and the flower goblin, you two fools and your president welcome me, right?" Don't think I don't know, that assassin, that necromancer, and that priest of yours don't look at me very friendly. ”

The big man rubbed the back of his head, he frowned, and said with some embarrassment, "Ah...... Didn't you fall asleep? I see that Mr. Cheese is sleeping all the time during the day...... Also, although the president didn't say anything, I think the president must be grateful for helping us keep a vigil at night. ”

Listening to Brad's words, Cheese's brow furrowed visibly. Obviously, this big man doesn't focus on one topic, and as he speaks, he will suddenly move the topic to other places, typical of where he wants to go.

Cheese exhaled with a little helplessness and continued, "All in all, I know your attitude towards me. As a reward for the mermaid song's acceptance of me, it's okay for me to keep a vigil for you. Anyway, I am in the best state of mind at night, and I sleep during the day, so I can stagger the time perfectly with you. ”

Brad was still crouching next to him, his eyes looking curious.

Seeing that the bonfire was extinguished, Cheese rubbed his hair a little and said, "Don't be a curious baby, go back to sleep quickly." ”

But Brad smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not sleepy now." Mr. Cheese, in a few days we'll be in the Frontier Province, and soon we'll be in Pelican Town. Well...... Although Mr. Cheese says that we humans are afraid of you all day long, let's come back all the way...... I also had a distinct sense that Cream, Coco, Margaux and the three of them seemed to be deliberately staying away from Mr. Cheese. But ......"

The stupid big man continued to laugh, paused for a moment, and then said, "When I was a child, my parents didn't tell me any legends. Mr. Cheese, you should make up for me, can you tell me why we humans are so afraid of you? Also, Mr. Cheese, you night clan seems to be very strong, how strong are you? What skills do you have? Is magic more powerful or powerful? I see you use a short gun during the day, and you are so strong at night, do you have to use a short gun during the day? Isn't it possible to have other abilities? ”

Once upon a time, Cheese as a night clan has always been strong, ruthless based on the fangs under the night.

Even if it was his good brother Blue Stripe, he had never asked himself so many questions in one breath like a curious baby.

He frowned, looking a little helpless, but also a little irritated and said, "Why do you talk so much?" Can't you sleep well? ”

Brad shook his head very straightforwardly and said, "The president once taught me that if you want others to be good to you, then you must first be good to others!" Our mermaid song is like a family, everyone is family. However, the chairman also said that even family members do not necessarily have to accommodate each other, and family members will have conflicts, and the key is that we must find a way to deal with such contradictions. That one...... The president's words may be difficult to understand, but it took me a lot of effort to understand. ”

"Well, that one...... Because Coco, Cream, and Margaux don't seem to be very nice to you. And the president doesn't seem to be in a very good state these days, and he doesn't usually like to talk much. There's no way I'm going to have Parfay talk to you...... Haha, Parfay herself probably isn't interested. If you think about it, it seems like I'm the only one to talk to you. Actually, I'd love to talk to you. ”

For Brad's hardcore chat, the only thing Cheese could do was to frown and look very speechless.

After a few moments, he finally exhaled slowly and said, "You really want to know?" ”

"Hmmm! I'd love to know! If I had known more about Mr. Cheese, I might have been able to understand why they were afraid of Mr. Cheese, so I could have found a way to convince them, right? ”

Finally, a bright color flashed at the corner of Cheese's mouth. He nodded slightly, and after thinking about it, he slowly told him about the war between the Night Clan and the humans.

Although Cheese himself had no idea what the war was all about, he could at least tell that many of the people's stereotypes of the Night One Clan began at that time.

"In the eyes of you humans, I am a monster who likes to suck the blood of the virgins of your humans, and can turn into a bat at night and perform terrible magic. You humans have given us several names, vampires, bloodlines, trolls, and so on. For a while, I even felt that in the eyes of you humans, there seemed to be no difference between me and those monsters. ”

As he spoke, Cheese couldn't help but start laughing at himself. He looked away, but saw Brad next to him with a curious look, and he didn't have a little scared look?

"You...... Aren't you afraid of me? Aren't you afraid I'll start sucking your blood? ”

Brad was slightly stunned, he thought about it, and said with a smile again: "I don't know, anyway, I just don't feel too scared." Well...... I don't have all sorts of analyses like the president, but I just don't think Mr. Cheese is the kind of person who will suddenly pounce on me and bite me. ”
