Chapter 127: Roland
Cheese reacted quickly when he heard the voice, and he instinctively tried to find something to hide, but then realized that it didn't make sense. Whoever the voice came from, he didn't hurt himself while he was unconscious. So the mage kept his old movements, and as for his momentary hesitation, no one but himself would be aware of it.
After a few seconds, Cheese was finally freed from his headache, he opened his eyes and tried to take in his surroundings, and then he saw the canvas ceiling, which was only about two fists high from him. It appears that the place where he woke up was supposed to be in the carriage of a freight wagon, but judging by the few boxes scattered around and the large amount of straw laid under him, it did not appear that the carriage was now transporting goods. As for the person who made the sound, his face was not clear to the mage because of the backlight, and he could only roughly judge from his body shape that he should be an emaciated old man.
Cheese didn't speak, because he hadn't been able to determine whether the old man in front of him was friend or foe, and the environment he was in now worried him. Unlike Shande, who didn't know anything about it, Cheese was a member of the team who was involved, and he knew exactly what was going on in the moment before he fainted. In fact, at that point in time before dawn, Cheese had already completed his spell casting, and in the mage's own experience, his spell was undoubtedly successful. His spell almost destroyed the bodies of the twisted knights in an instant, and also partially destroyed the magic array in the cemetery, but an accident happened. The thing that caused this accident was the Son of God.
The Son of God, like its producer, is completely beyond the scope of the world's interpretation, and almost all known interpretations cannot explain this nature of existence. And the few people who can peek outside the world are mostly crazy because they have seen things far beyond their comprehension, and those who are not crazy cannot convey the situation outside the world to others, after all, it is beyond the limits of what the world can present. In this case, anything that is taken for granted will be somewhat different from what people expect when they encounter Miko, and although Cheese believes that what he has can destroy Miko and send him out of this world, and reality confirms that his guess is not wrong, he miscalculates one thing, and that is the time it will take.
Before the magic of cheese expelled Miko from the world, that Miko reacted in time. And it was clear that this fellow, who had only been sent into this world through the priests at an unknown cost, did not want to leave this fertile world easily, and the Cheese's approach undoubtedly angered it. The mage could clearly remember what had happened in that moment, the huge whip-like tentacles wrapped around his waist, and the tremendous force gave Cheese the illusion that he was going to be strangled in half. But fortunately, this is just an illusion, and Miko really can't resist the magic of the mage, and all it can do before disappearing is to roll up the cheese high in anger and throw it to the ground, and the direction in which it threw the cheese is where the cemetery is.
The Lich has been waiting for Cheese's spell to finish, it's like playing a game of reaction speed, and every second it fights for before Cheese's spell is released can bring more security to the next teleportation. Although the Lich is a special being that does not die easily, that doesn't mean it wants to be teleported to a terrifying place like the Abyss. As a result, it did activate the teleportation before Cheese's spell had an effect on the teleportation magic, but at this time, Cheese also happened to be thrown into the graveyard teleportation range by Miko.
The teleportation spell was deviated by the sudden entry of Cheese, and this insignificant difference caused the teleportation time to be delayed in an equally insignificant way, but in this delayed time, the energy released by Cheese before had irreparable damage to the teleportation magic. As for the impact of this destruction, it is not something that Cheese can foresee now. The only thing Cheese is certain of is that the teleportation circle was successfully activated in the end.
"Don't be so sullen, it's a miracle that you can fall from such a high place and you can come out unharmed. The old man's voice came again, as if he saw the contemplative expression on the cheese's face, mistakenly thinking that he was recalling the events before fainting, and the mage's silence was regarded by him as some strange situation, "Anyway, you kid won't be stupid, right? This is troublesome, you guys in gray robes are that guy's treasures, if you fall stupid and happen to be picked up by me, wouldn't that guy want to settle accounts with me? Hey, you are talking, old man, I don't carry this black cauldron!"
The old man pounced on him as he spoke, as if to examine Cheese's body to see if he had really been thrown stupidly. Cheese quickly raised his hand to block the old man's flutter, and the things mentioned in the other party's words did not allow him to remain silent any longer.
"You...... No, you know my teacher?" asked Cheese.
Hearing that Cheese could still speak, and that the rules were still clear, the old man seemed relieved, and he sat back and said.
"Phew, scared the old man to death, isn't it stupid. So, let's just say that that guy's apprentices are just like him. ”
Only at this time did Cheese barely see the old man's face clearly, only to see that the old man had a thick white beard on his face, which buried half of his face in a silvery white weed, and the hem of the beard stretched all the way to the waist, such a long beard is very rare among humans, especially the old man's beard is not like a dwarf that is tied into braids at will, but naturally spreads, but such a long beard is not messy at all, it seems that this person must spend a lot of energy on his beard every day.
And through this beard, what can be seen is a pair of gray-blue eyes, which are not a pair of eyes that belong to the caster, but they are also full of wisdom and vicissitudes. In addition, the clothes on the old man's body were not gorgeous, and could only be called fitting, a simple dark blue robe, wearing it on his body could only be said to be not regarded as a beggar.
"You haven't answered my question yet, you know my robe, and it sounds like you know my teacher?" asked Cheese continued. He really didn't expect that this person who seemed to have saved him would actually be his teacher's old acquaintance. However, even if he carefully recalled the list of people who had intersections with his teacher and would not directly kill him, he could not find anyone who might fit the image of the old man in front of him.
"Roar, boy, I don't just know your teacher. We've been on the continent together for quite some time. That was a long time ago, though. After confirming that the cheese's spirit was indeed fine, the old man finally relaxed, and he picked up a wooden pipe from the barrel beside him, lightly scratched his finger on the outer wall of the pipe, and then quickly put it into the pipe, and a pale cyan smoke peculiar to burning tobacco came out of the pipe. As for how he got the pipe in his mouth, Cheese only saw that he had stuck the pipe in a place in his beard that seemed to be casually.
"As for my name, I guess your teacher never mentioned it, after all, a little person like me is probably just a flash in his life. You can call me though, Roland. The old man leaned against the barrel and spat out a perfect smoke ring, and said to the cheese.
