"Ahem," the door opened, and the dust fell from the edge of the door, making the person who opened the door cough uncontrollably. The sound alarmed the occupants in the room, who put down the book in his hand and turned his head to look out the door. Sunlight shone in through the vine-enclosed window, just in front of the man's desk and in front of the room.

"What's wrong?" asked Cheese, closing the book. Behind him were shelves made of plants filled with books, and as far as he could reach, there were scrolled scrolls and single pages of notes. The contents of the note are too detailed to be illegible, but the topmost one depicts a detailed diagram of the nezumi's body structure with a quill pen, annotated in varying sizes of text next to it.

When Elsa saw Cheese's dazed look, she was angry, and she walked to the mage's table in three or two steps, propped her hands on the table, and looked at him condescendingly. Just like when he asked Cheese to prove his innocence to the villagers at the top of the dragon's back, but now Red Fox didn't ask the mage to prove anything, "You still asked me what's wrong? You haven't left this room for five days, you know? Gloria and the others are worried that you've lost your hair! But they don't dare to slam on your door, they have to wait for me to come back to you, what do you say?"

Cheese was stunned for a moment, he tried to stand up, only to find that he didn't even have the strength to stand up now. It was only then that the body freed from extreme concentration transmitted all kinds of negative feedback to the mage's brain, and for a moment he only felt black in front of his eyes, and he almost fainted. When Elsa saw the other party's reaction, she couldn't care about getting angry, and quickly bypassed the desk to support the cheese, her eyes full of concern. At the same time, she also beckoned to the others outside the door, and the two ratmen quickly put the prepared food and water on the desk in the sunlight.

The mage didn't care about anything else, his eyes were only left with food, and he didn't even realize that the rat man, who had been extremely disgusted with the sun, was standing in the sunlight at this time and did not show a state of pain. It wasn't until Cheese patted his chest and swallowed the last piece of bread in pain that he had a chance to speak, "I'm sorry, when I used to do research, Ah Fu would remind me to rest, I forgot that he wasn't here." By the way, the bread tastes good, is it already possible to grow wheat around here?"

"No, you ate too quickly and didn't see the color of the bread, this is Gloria They tried to use ground mushroom powder******* Elsa said helplessly. In recent times, she has realized the mage's unusual habits, and in short, since the rat people in Vale City were in stable condition, Cheese has plunged headlong into the study and laboratory, and if no one reminds her, she will not even realize the need to eat and drink. However, looking at the mage in front of him with a normal complexion, Red Fox also had to admit that for these gray robes, research of this intensity may have long been commonplace.

"Really, that's great, the moss bread from last time, although it was nutritionally fine, tasted really bad, it tasted like sawdust. Cheese stuck out his tongue and made a disgusted expression as he spoke, which showed that the rats' last trial had indeed brought him a considerable degree of psychological shadow.

The two nezumi who began to clean up the table couldn't help but laugh with Elsa when they heard this, and one of them said, "Actually, the bread you just ate was also mixed with moss powder, after all, the scale of mushroom cultivation is not enough, and moss is still everyone's staple food." Thanks to Lord Gloria's attempts to cultivate edible moss back in time when the Council of Men was in power, we now don't have to go out of the city to pluck bark and grass stalks to feed us. ”

"So, has binge eating disorder been resolved?" is the abbreviation of cheese's overeating symptoms for rat people. This is also the first thing he solves after he regains his sanity to all the nezumi. After regaining the ability to think, the bloodthirsty nature of the proto-rat people will naturally disappear, but what cannot disappear with it is their large and terrible appetite. After the mage's research, it was found that the nezumi stomach could have absorbed the nutrients in the food more efficiently, but as if it was inhibited by some mechanism, it forced them to starve for a long time.

It took Cheese a few days to develop an elixir that could remove this inhibition, but at the time, the potion required only enough ingredients to meet the needs of all the nezumi. The matter was later handed over to Gloria, and now it sounded like the Daughter of Saron had solved the problem.

"Yes, thanks to your wisdom, there are no nezumi in Vale City who are inexplicably hungry. There was no unabashed adoration in the nezumi tone, and there was no nezumi who was not respectful to the gray robe who single-handedly saved all nezumi from the tragic fate of death and brought them back to their senses. This also made being able to serve in the tower, known as the Tower of Cheese, a more honorable job after working directly under Gloria.

Cheese nodded, he had so many questions on his mind at the same time that he didn't have time to fully understand the life of the nezumen, but the mage was still happy to hear that the most basic problems of eating and drinking had been solved. He stood up, stretched his body for the first time in a long time, and turned his head to look at Elsa, "So, when are you going to go?"

Red Fox glared at the mage angrily, not too surprised by how the latter knew the second purpose of his trip, "I thought you had forgotten about this. Lothar and the Networm had returned from the molten iron, and they had finished their engagement with the Hammer Archduke. Jack and Mona were already on standby near the valley, and we left for the Iron Keep two days later to rescue everyone. ”

A smile tipped into Cheese's lips at the mention of his friends, and he walked around the man in front of him to the window, looking out at the green Valleytown and the wilderness beyond. "You know what? In the place where I grew up, the stargazing room at the top of the tower was a teacher's personal space, and apprentices were not allowed to enter it casually. So since I was a child, I thought that one day, when I could become a mage myself, I would definitely build a tower of my own and use the room at the top of the tower as my study!"

"Congratulations, Guardians of all the nezumi, not only do you now have a tower, it even bears your name. Elsa said with a wicked smile.

"What? Whose name do you say it was called?"

"Cheese Tower, that's what all the nezumi call it. Lothar and Jack they have no objection to this either. Gloria even held a special meeting to inform all the nezumi about this!"

"Oh hell, who told you to give it that name! This is my mage tower, doesn't the naming right belong to me?"

"Well, even though you're the titular leader of the nezumi now, we all know that it's Gloria who is actually doing the work, so, you know, that's the way it is. ”

"But can't they have a better name?Tower of Knowledge, Tower of Books, whatever you want!Tower of Cheese, that sounds like some kind of dessert!Why doesn't anyone stop her!"

"Heh, you yourself are hiding here and burying your head in reading, how do we know your opinion. You know, the nezumi still have a lot of habits that are very similar to rats, and no rats hate cheese, so rats love cheese too. ”
