"You two go, I'll rest here. After lunch, Cheese leaned against the tavern wall and said to the two of them with a little sleepiness. His mental state had not been good since he met his companions again in the grasslands, and it was no wonder that no one knew exactly how the mage had fought off Alei, and how he had survived on his own for so long after food poisoning. But one thing can be guaranteed, that is, according to his own theory of cost, behind these things that ordinary people can't do, there will definitely be prices that ordinary people can't pay for him.

Jian Qi had never seen the previous mage, and he had hardly seen Cheese casting, and in his eyes, this fellow man might just be a learned man who was born with a weak body. There are actually quite a few such people in the place where he grew up. Therefore, he nodded in agreement to the cheese's request to rest without thinking about it, "Of course, in fact, I will go alone in this little matter." Anyway, I'm also a blacksmith, which is considered a profession. ”

Despite what he said, Atta and the cat fairy followed. The reason for this is naturally clear to Cheese, and presumably Jian Qi himself understands that horses are valuable assets wherever they are, and for a person who has just known each other for a day or two, he will not be at ease to hand over two horses to him no matter what. So after the female swordsman and the others stood outside the tavern, he said no more. It's just that he doesn't say more, it doesn't mean that others think so. Waiting for the two of them to walk away, the proprietress of Ivy cautiously leaned over to Cheese's side, "What is the relationship between those two people?"

Cheese raised his eyebrows, looked at the other party's excited face, and thought for a few seconds before slowly speaking, "What do you think is their relationship?"

"Hey, you, I'm asking you, you're asking me the other way around. She said to Cheese with some annoyance, and immediately lowered her voice when she realized that her voice was too loud. This made the mage notice that the father she was talking about, who was likely to be woken up, had slept until now. If the business is booming, the tavern is open until almost dawn, then it is okay to say, but the town is clearly so depressed.

"Since you came to ask me, you already had a guess in your heart, so why bother to knock on the side. It's good to be straightforward and not at all. Cheese rarely gets into a fight, and most of the time he finds it neither meaningful nor fun. This is actually a good thing, because the few people who have had the privilege of talking to the mage know how mean and sharp he can be when he uses the reason he uses to think things to find fault with people.

"Tsk," the proprietress made a distinctly stumbling sound, if it weren't for the fact that she didn't have someone to talk to now, and didn't want to stuff half of her words back into her stomach, she wouldn't have bothered with cheese anymore. Helplessly, this depressed day is too difficult, and she can't abandon the fresh fun brought by the arrival of cheese, "Okay, okay, you just tell me directly, are they a couple?"

The mage sighed, "Although I think most of the answers can already be guessed, but in order to verify whether I am that meager possible wrong, let me ask, why do you think they are a couple?"

"Isn't that a matter of course! I mean, the girl was half the time fixed on the man, and she was interested in him anyway, whether they were a couple or not. ”

In the face of the other party's conclusive tone, Cheese only had the ability to smile bitterly. Half of Atta's attention is on Jian Qi, which is true, but the truth is probably the opposite of what the boss lady guessed, the female swordsman does not like sword seekers, she is on guard against him. This is Atta's habit, a habit developed by traveling alone, and it is difficult for her to give trust to a stranger in a short period of time. That's right, it takes time to see a person clearly, and there are too many parts that can be disguised in a short period of contact. As for Cheese, he doesn't see people the same way as Atta, he analyzes them and draws his own conclusions.

"Well, you should be so. The mage stood up and walked to the door as if he was bored, "I'll go out for a walk, and if they ask, they'll say I'll be back before dinner." ”

Regardless of the dissatisfied roar of the proprietress behind him, Cheese's body is actually not as bad as he appears. After the First Battle of the Prairie, he was indeed hit hard, and in order to prevent the recurrence of the magic hole, he tried not to cast spells, and even stopped meditating. But perhaps he was more resilient than he thought, and in the past few days, the mage could clearly feel that the magic in his body had begun to fill up again, and his momentum had increased unabated compared to before. This may be the same as the fact that broken muscles heal stronger, but magic itself is not such a simple thing.

Therefore, this solo action can be said to be deliberate on the part of Cheese, just like Atta, there are some things that are not convenient to show Kenqi now. If he could, he didn't want to show them to Atta again. The resurrection on the grassland seemed to be a plan of the mage, but in fact, it was a fluke of luck. At that time, the demons he summoned and bound the four of Lothar could die when they were mortally wounded, but this kind of substitutionary death was conditional. After all, the life of demons in this world is not real enough, and replacing real lives with unreal lives can be done in magic, but it is extremely difficult.

With this kind of difficulty, Cheese can't guarantee that there will be no mistakes again, which is an unacceptable result for the gray robe who has always pursued rigor. Therefore, in order to try not to happen to the prairie as much as possible, the mage secretly decided that he would encounter a similar incident again, and he must do his best to prevent others from being involved. With that in mind, Cheese walked towards the section of the town's river that supplied water.

He hadn't forgotten the large number of worm larvae that had flowed down the river after the First Battle of Amaki. The water system in the grassland is difficult to distinguish because of the existence of underground rivers, so there may be those larvae in any river that flows out of the grassland. Of course, when he was along the way, Cheese had already inspected the river more than once, and the result was naturally that he could not find the slightest trace of the evil god. But after listening to the ship's boss's description of the recent events in Jiefa Town, the mage's already relaxed heartstrings were tightened again. The waterways were cut off, and the inexplicable inhabitants were understood from another perspective as a semi-enclosed environment and some kind of anomalies like an infectious disease that was prevalent among the townspeople. These two things come together, and Cheese can't help but doubt it.

Most of the towns along the river depend on the river for drinking water, in fact, many of the huge cities and even civilizations are also like this. That's why some people say that when you get lost, as long as you walk along the waterway, you will always run into people. The situation in the town of Cheese was already clear, and most of the townspeople would draw water from the shallows upstream, and the town ordered two wells to be in case the river ran dry. In this case, most of the problems will not appear in the well.

On the side of the shallows in the afternoon, there was no one to draw water. The midday sun stirs up the creatures in the river, and it's not a good time to fetch water. Cheese bent down, took out a horn cup, took a glass of water out of the river, took it under his nose and sniffed it.

"I advise you not to drink that water. ”
