Chapter 117: Recommendations
After a brief introduction to himself, Cheese learns from the crow's mouth about the fate of the man who had invaded his dreams before. Of course, the mage didn't see the man or his corpse, because the crow said he had "had some fun" with the unlucky guy before the cheese arrived. As a classmate of the Cursed Raven, Cheese knew very well what this person meant by the so-called "fun", although most of the Greytower apprentices did not like to torture their enemies, they were more interested in efficiency, just like Cheese. Unfortunately, the Raven has always believed that proper "relaxation" will better complete the next task. In this regard, the mage could only express some mercy in his heart to the unmasked enemy.
However, I have to say that although Cheese also has a way to forcibly get the information he wants, the "entertainment" activities of the Cursed Crow allowed him to get everything that the other party knew, and in order to let the Cursed Crow end this terrible torture as soon as possible, the man confessed almost everything he knew. This also made it easier for the cheese to do the next.
"So according to you, that guy was just a hired temporary helper?" said Cheese after listening to the raven.
"Yes, that hapless guy was pulled over to delay your actions. This fool who has taught himself two dream spells and thinks that he can already take charge on his own naively wants to use dreams to break you one by one, according to his thoughts, if it can't scare you crazy, at least it can greatly deter your emotions. Who knew that he was the first to pick you up, heh, is your dream so easy to enter? When I found him, he was so scared that he was about to lose his ability to communicate, so in a sense, I gave him a lucid death. The crow said with a gentle smile still on his lips.
"With all that said, does he know who his employer is?" Cheese frowned, a cautious employer wouldn't share his message with such a disposable pawn.
"Don't worry, while the guy really didn't know what his employer looked like or who he was, he told me some interesting clues. With these clues, it is not difficult to find the sneaky person. The Raven continued to speak in an unhurried tone, pointing to the index finger of his right hand, which was wearing a jewel encrusted with a cat's eye sheen. In fact, not only the index finger of the right hand, but also the ten fingers of the crow wore rings of different shapes, which were of different shapes, and the inlays on them were also different, and there was even a ring that appeared to be made of the bones of something.
"Cat's Eye, then you can lead the way, we don't have much time. Cheese said. It sounded like he was very comfortable with the way the crow came to his conclusion, and he didn't worry at all that the other party would make a mistake.
"Well, since you're in such a hurry, let's go over now. Only, are you sure you want to get all of them with us? Werewolves and vampires aside, these two young ladies may not be enough to help. The battle we're going to have next is not something they can get involved in. The crow said to the mage.
That sounds like a good suggestion, and while Mona and Elsa could have been helpful in the previous fight with the Twisted Knight, it was also very dangerous. If Cheese really wants to fight the mastermind behind the current situation of the Iron Castle, then the two of them as ordinary humans really won't play much role, and they may even accidentally bury their lives in vain. However, after listening to the words of the cursed crow, the mage did not answer the other party's question, but asked the other party a question.
"When did you start caring about the lives of others?"
"Hehe, it's up to you to decide whether they go or stay. I'm just making a suggestion. Raven didn't answer Cheese's question and walked straight to the door.
Looking at the back of the cursed crow, Cheese had to think about the purpose of the other party's proposal. Although the mage had no intention of letting the proprietress continue to follow, the words spoken by the cursed crow made Cheese worry about whether he would fall into some trap if he was separated from Elsa and the others here.
"What are you doing, that friend of yours is gone! While Cheese was thinking, the proprietress walked up to him and said to him. Elsa's voice interrupted the mage's train of thought, and he found himself in no way to guess the Raven's intentions.
"He's not my friend. Also, you and Mona should take care to protect themselves...... Stay away from him, he's dangerous. After weighing the pros and cons, Cheese decided to take the proprietress with them. The mage was more worried about the crow's intentions than the enemies of the Iron Keep, knowing that there was no friendship or anything else that would warm the apprentices of the Grey Tower.
"Hmm. He nodded. Elsa also knew that the man who claimed to be a fellow cheese was definitely not as gentle as he seemed. And the image of the black crow that flashed in front of his eyes just now also made everyone jealous of the cursed crow.
Walking out of the abandoned villa, the group returned to the night, and the crow walked silently at the front of the group, not seemingly worried about the danger he would encounter in this position. And the people behind him, even Louise and Sander subconsciously kept a certain distance from this person. Judging by their inquiring glances at Cheese, the two men were also suspicious of the crow.
"You didn't let them go?" said Raven to the cheese who came to him.
"They're good fighters, and I think it's okay for them to protect themselves. Cheese replied. At the same time, he had just told Jack to protect Mona and her sisters if something went wrong, and the Wolfwalkers' magical immunity talent would make them good protectors.
"Are you afraid that I will do something to them? I don't see that you care about the lives of these mortals. By the way, the one named Elsa, she likes you, right?" said the Raven, looking at Cheese, as if not wanting to miss his facial expression, "Did you say that if she had known what you really were, she would still like you as she does now?" ”
"First of all, I don't have to worry about my affairs, and even teachers have no right to interfere in my personal affairs. Secondly, if you dare to do anything to her, I promise you'll regret it. The mage's voice was so low that they couldn't even hear Sander who was not far from them. But there was an indescribable horror in the deep voice, as if it were not the whisper of a man, but the roar of some beast.
"Giggles, is this the same cheese I know? How angry are you...... This was a surprise. There was an interested look on the raven's face, as if the mage's action was some kind of novelty. As for whether he planned to heed Cheese's admonition, I am afraid that no second person would know.
