At night, the Far Lookout descended. The rest of the dinner was removed along with the cutlery and replaced with a steaming black unknown drink. Cheese visibly hesitated as he picked up the teacup, but the mage finally mustered up his courage as he looked across the table as the crow casually drank the liquid from a teapot.

"Ahem!ahem!" The handkerchief handed at the right time and the slight sneer on the sorcerer's lips proved that Cheese's reaction to the new drink was not unexpected. Lynn gently patted Cheese's back to keep him from choking too violently, and then looked at the crow with a reproachful look, but even she couldn't deny the smile in the corner of her eye. A little prank is always fun, provided that the prank itself doesn't actually cause mental or physical harm to the person.

"It's a drink from Heartless Bay, and it has a bitter taste, but it has the function of relieving headaches and refreshing. I think this flavor is enough for the caster's drink, but Lynn still likes to add some honey or milk or something, and I can tell the kitchen to prepare it if you need it. The crow said defiantly.

Since the identity of the caster was here, Cheese naturally would not allow himself to treat the black substance as a drink like Lynn, and he reprepared himself and took another sip of the contents of the glass. This time, he felt better, though the sourness on the tip of his tongue and the bitterness on both sides of his tongue still made him frown.

"Is this also the result of your communication with the world?" Even if the drink itself has no effect, the lingering bitter taste is enough to make it a refreshing drink. However, Cheese didn't think that the Curse Crow would be a person who was satisfied with superficial thrills, and that being chosen by the Spellcaster as a drink to entertain his fellow disciples must have something interesting in itself.

"Two years ago, a witch came to me to lift the curse of bleeding from her wounds. I didn't pay her, but asked for some special products and interesting situations in Heartbreaker. Among those intelries, I heard that you had taken in a group of witches who had relocated to the Greylion from Heartless Bay. That's probably when I realized that you're going to find this place sooner or later. The crow looked at the scenery outside the window and said casually. The relationship between witches is very close, especially the witches in the same group, although there are also contradictions and antagonisms between them, but the Lost Heart Witch Troupe must be quite united as one of the witch groups that are now widely known. Therefore, it is not difficult for Cheese to follow the witch's line to find out where he is.

"I didn't take in the witches, just as I didn't exert any influence on the Greylion. They are acting on their own volition. Cheese said with some displeasure.

"Whatever you may say, whether or not the caster, or the guy who knows us and what we know is another matter. With a grey robe capable of controlling a dragon, and as many rat-like monsters as minions in a city, you've got a pretty good reputation right now. I thought I fit the image of a bad wizard pretty well, but now it seems like maybe you're better suited than I am. Raven teased, but what he said wasn't a lie.

"What they want to say about me is none of their business. The mage replied at once, knowing that what had happened in the blue lion could not be concealed, and that there would be good deeds who would make up new poems about what had happened in the northern kingdom and spread them far and wide. But he didn't care, because the real truth had long since disappeared in the poets' rhetoric, and besides, no one would believe in the existence of the nezumi until they saw it with their own eyes. Just as people hardly think dragons exist now.

"That's how you treat the world, you always think that those people don't see the truth, so their words and thoughts don't make sense. But there is no absolute truth in this world, you and I are both experienced by the plague, and you even stood at the center of the storm at one time. So tell me, do you dare to say that you really understood everything back then, even now. The Raven put down the teacup in his hand, "Many times incomplete and even distorted descriptions are themselves a kind of truth, and they are the truth that is known. ”

"That's not what we're after. There's always only one thing we desire. Cheese spoke without the slightest hesitation.

The sorcerer's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw a familiar figure from the fellow across the table. Now that I think about it, it may be true, and among the many apprentices in the Grey Tower, each one has become a spellcaster dedicated to his own realm, such as his approach to the Cursed Path. Among so many apprentices, Cheese was the only one who had to learn about each field because his field of study was too remote and dangerous. As a result, the mage became a rare all-rounder in the Grey Tower, though at the cost of knowing only a few things in the eyes of the other Grey robes. However, such a balanced development method makes cheese have no absolute shortcomings, and he can always think from many aspects when thinking about an unfamiliar problem. This was similar to the man who had taught all the Greys, except that the man had become so familiar and knowledgeable about each field of magic that it was difficult to reach, and it was questionable whether Cheese would be able to reach that level.

"Maybe. But if the truth that explains everything in our mouths really exists, shouldn't it also exist in those who know nothing about magic?

"Anyway, you're very famous now. This reputation can be both good and bad, and it can get you in trouble if you don't know how to take advantage of it. For example, what you are asking about now. As a gray robe, you are special, and the teacher's death also happened soon after your bar mig, and it is difficult to say whether you were aware of this or not. I'm sure you're just a little troubled now, and you'll be stopped before you even get in front of you. But if things continue to develop, the guys who left the Grey Tower early may be able to do something to you. They've never been as talkative as I am. ”

The possibility proposed by the sorcerer made Cheese even more annoyed, there were not many people in the gray robe who would believe such rumors, but there were certainly not those who had the mentality of giving it a try. Obviously, the methods that fellow disciples will do to cheese will not be a simple inquiry, and the caster does not need to apologize, and this creed applies to the caster as well.

"Then you say, what should I do? If they do come to me, there's nothing I can do, do I?"

"It's simple. You just need to transfer the suspicion on your body to someone who no one dares to provoke. The Crow said with a smile.

"You mean..."

"Well, you'll have to go back to the Grey Tower to see Ann Lina. And in order for this matter to be resolved once and for all, I will walk with you. ”
