Bakham's arrival wasn't just to convey the Green Staff's greetings. He came alone at this time more as a symbolic identity, not from the elven elders themselves, or even from the elven race, but from some more secretive, larger group, that is, the beings in the dream world that Marcus had entered. These individuals from all over the world who have reached some kind of connection with nature are also heralds of nature's will, and they will convey in their own way the information that nature cannot express, such as sending their own apprentices to participate in a seemingly unimportant operation.

Cheese smiled for the first time in a long time, he didn't mean to let Buckham get up. Because he knew that this gift was not given by an elf to a gray-robed man, but represented the true recognition of the rat-man race by nature, recognizing them as a reasonable species in this world. In this respect, it wasn't until Buckham's knees that Cheese's efforts finally paid off. Since then, the conflict between humans and rats has been nothing more than a friction between races, not a larger problem. This is good news for the nezumi and their guardians. But after the good news, people still have to face the problems in front of them.

"How far is it from the scheduled meeting place?" asked Cheese to his companion. His gaze was still staring at the distant city wall as he spoke, and it stands to reason that the magic that was enough to seal the entire city would inevitably release a huge magical aura, but standing here, within the distance of the iron castle that could be seen with the naked eye, the mage didn't feel any magic fluctuations. If it weren't for the fact that the lockdown was real, I'm afraid the gray robe wouldn't have noticed the anomaly in the city.

Jack remains half-wolf, half-human, and he is already able to pronounce words fluently in this form, "There is still about half a day to go." If the other person is not late, we will meet at sunset. "The Wolfwalker already has a natural advantage in reconnaissance, and Jack awakened the ability of the Wolf Witch when he fought the Lich in the royal capital, and can communicate with the wolf spirits wandering in the wilderness to a certain extent, which allows him to complete the control of the wild terrain in a very short time.

"Okay, then you go first. I need to do some preparation in advance near the Iron Castle. It won't take much time. Cheese nodded, and with that, he walked straight in the direction of the Iron Castle. Elsa tried to follow, but was stopped by Lothar, "Let him be alone." We'll let Jack follow, and nothing will happen. ”

Red Fox watched Cheese's back disappear into the bushes uneasily, and she suddenly realized that after all the things she had experienced, she still didn't know Cheese at all, and the gray robe didn't even want to reveal what it was that made her so miserable. Mona's incarnate gray wolf arched Elsa's hand with her nose, and although many things were blurred in her memory, she still had extra closeness to her former best friend. Reassured by her friend, Red Fox's mood finally didn't get any worse, and she gently stroked the hair on the back of Mona's neck and took a breath.

Jack looked at his companions and said to Elsa, "Mona will be left to your care first, and I will follow our Guardian, if something happens to him, Gloria will tear us apart alive." The wolf blinked, turned and followed the mage's footsteps and disappeared.

Bakham scratched his head a little puzzled, "Isn't everything settled?

Count Montenegro shrugged his shoulders, "What's worse is not the atmosphere, it's just that when we have a common goal to work on, we will subconsciously ignore some problems." Now, the tide has receded and the beach is a mess. With that, he turned on his horse and continued to guide the team towards the agreed place. Leaving the young elf still confused, he only realized that the gray wolf had taken three steps and two steps to the carriage as the gray wolf walked past him, and the previous incident of being pounced on from the treetops left a deep shadow on him.

Not to mention how the team met with the team of the Hammer Archduke, just said that after leaving his companions, he lowered his head and walked aimlessly towards the city in the distance, and Jack, who secretly followed him, secretly thought to himself that with the speed of a mage, he might not be able to reach the walls of the Iron Castle at dawn tomorrow. And it was in this short moment that Cheese's figure walked behind a large tree in front of Wolfwalker's eyes, and did not come out for several seconds. Realizing that something was wrong, Jack immediately ran over to avoid his hidden whereabouts, only to see a line of small writing that had just been carved into the bark.

"Don't worry about me, I'll be back in the evening. ”

The wolfwalker rolled his eyes, turned his head to look around, and sighed in frustration after making sure he couldn't find any trace of cheese. About ten minutes after Jack left the tree, Cheese reappeared from behind the tree. With a wave of the mage's hand, the small words on the bark disappeared instantly, and it was impossible to tell that they had ever existed. Grey Robe looked at his palm, a few days ago, he couldn't do this, but recently the magic in his body had increased like an insect entering the breeding stage, allowing Cheese to use many techniques that he was not used to using before.

Now that I think about it, this phenomenon probably happened after the defeat of Erdu, but I was too busy with the nezumi to pay attention to this anomaly. Not only has the current mage improved dramatically in his ability to cast spells, but he also thinks more clearly than before, and he can even do research for days without feeling tired. But the change made Cheese feel deeply terrified, and he couldn't explain what was happening to him despite what he had learned. Maybe Ann Lina would know, but he didn't want to hear anything about it for a short time since he last returned to the Grey Tower.

Cheese clenched his fists, he didn't remember the last meeting very well, the only thing he remembered was the exact death of the teacher. Of course, the mage understood that this was because Ann Lina had used some kind of spell to deliberately blur some of his memories, but he had never been disgusted by such a thing before, and the former cheese thought that if the senior sister and the teacher were going to erase their memories, it must be because they had come into contact with something they shouldn't touch. But now, the news of Clark's death weighed on his heart like a mountain, and from then on, the omnipotent owner of the Grey Tower was gone, and he had to take care of himself. No, taking care of himself isn't over, he still has the entire nezumi race to shoulder.

"Is that the weight of responsibility and independence? The gray-robed robe let out a long sigh, and the plants in front of him spontaneously pushed in both directions as if they had seen the monarch's subjects, revealing a smooth path for him to move forward.
