While Cheese and Sander were still struggling in the basement of the Iron Castle, something happened in the Grey Tower north of Dragonspine Mountain, which shocked Cheese very much.

"Welcome back, hosts. As a black magic array appeared on the floor of the observatory on the top floor of the Gray Tower, a figure wearing the same gray robe as Cheese appeared beside the Blue ** Law servant who had been waiting here for a long time. The gray robe on this man's body is so similar to the one on the cheese body, but if there is a difference, it is that there are some strange patterns on the robe on this man's body from time to time. The patterns are changing on this robe as if they were alive. What appeared on the robe at this time was a constantly flowing astrological chart.

"Where's that cheese boy?" said the man, as he walked over to the only wide chair in the observatory and sat down, the ornate shape of the chair fit perfectly with the man's body, but it was not too surprising given that the chair was made for this man.

"Young Master Cheese is now on a coming-of-age mission in the Iron Castle. He had made a deal with a superior devil last night, and by the way, he had offended ......" The blue magic servant responded to his master's question in a deep, ethereal voice.

"Stop. All I need is where he is now, and I don't have to report anything else. If he gets into any trouble, he'll have to fix it himself, and I'm not going to help him. With a wave of his hand, interrupting the blue servant's words, the gray-robed man said. At the same time, a flame rose from the bottom of his robe, and then dissipated at the chest of the robe.

"Yes, master. The blue servant shuddered slightly with its bloated body, as if sorry for his mouth, "Do you need me to inform the other young masters and ladies of your return?" ”

"Worried about me, huh, my dear butler...... How long will it take you to tell the difference between worry and worry? My students don't care if I'm healthy or not, they just want to make sure that the resources they have can continue to be provided. The man said with a smile as he leaned into the thick velvet cushion behind his back.

"Sorry, master. But you only gave me the ability to see the world with good intentions. The blue servant said.

Hearing the servant's words, the man sitting in the chair stopped whispering. He said in a deep voice.

"yes, you're just the product of an experiment. Just ...... Again, why should I explain so much to you?" the man looked like he was talking to himself, his voice so soft that some of the words were very muffled.

After a long time, the man seemed to have eased from his low mood just now, and he said to the blue creature that had been waiting quietly next to him, "Go, call An Lina here." ”

The blue minion shuddered again in understanding, and then it stood still for a moment. After a few moments, the blue creature spoke again.

"Miss Ann Lina has received your summons, and she will be coming soon. ”

Sure enough, just a few minutes later, An Lina, dressed in a gorgeous gown, pushed open the door of the observatory. Her gaze fell on the figure in the wide seat. At the same time, a huge bat pattern with blood-red wings flew past the man's back. It's just that because of the back of the chair, no one saw this scene.

"Welcome back, teacher. Facing the back of the gray-robed man, An Lina closed the door and walked to a distance of about ten steps and said with a skirt salute.

"I heard you helped Cheese analyze the plague samples he took?" said the man sitting in the chair, strangely surprised that the blue creature hadn't mentioned it to him.

An Lina fluttered slightly when she heard this, she didn't expect that this person would come back and ask about this matter for the first time. However, thinking of her teacher's strict requirements for the task, she was worried about whether this incident would affect Cheese's adult mission. After a moment's deep thought, she said.

"Yes. I did help him analyze those samples. ”

"Haha, this lucky boy. He never realized that you were different from my other apprentices, and even if I was your nominal teacher, I am afraid it would not go so well if I wanted to ask you for help, would I?" let out a laugh like a night owl, and the man's clothes were covered in a sea of white and purple skull flowers.

"Is this what you're here for?" An Lina's eyebrows furrowed, and she heard the sarcasm in the man's words.

"No, no, no, of course not. I just felt it. Cheese's background is unfortunate enough, and it is even more unfortunate that he was accepted as an apprentice by me, and getting your favor and protection may be the greatest luck in his short life. Or ...... Greatest misfortune, are you right?" the man said, and before waiting for Ann Lina to respond, he continued, "I'm dying. Can you see that?"

Originally, An Lina was already angry with the first half of that person's words, but the second half of that person's words made her stunned.

"You say, what? You're dying?" An Lina, who has always shown herself with an elegant and lively face, had an unconcealable shock and deep panic on her face when she said this.

"Don't be so surprised, people always die. Besides, I've lived I don't know how long longer than my peers. Besides, I won't die after saying this, and it will be some years before I am taken out of this world. The man's voice remained calm, as if he wasn't talking about his own death.

"But, you're not ......," Ann Lina wanted to say, but she swallowed the second half of the sentence as if she had suddenly thought of something.

"There is no surprise, there is an end to everything. And it's strange to me that those of us who deal with the truth can live so long. The man said, his calm voice calming the magic of the man. A ship sailing in a storm slowly passed through his chest.

"And the reason why I have called you, my dear Ann Lina, is to ask you a question. ”

"What's the problem?" asked Ann Lina, puzzled, not knowing what she could do to help with this man's death.

"Will you take over this place when I'm dead? I mean, will you be the next Lord of the Grey Tower?" the man asked. A furious thunder cleaved the mast of the ship that was struggling in the wind and waves.
