So sleepy, so sleepy...... Yawning, Mad Dog rubbed his eyes: I came with my research notes last night, and I didn't sleep until two o'clock in the morning. As a result, of course, I didn't feel very energetic after waking up.

"I'm sleepy, knight. I didn't go to bed until two o'clock last night. Yawning again, the mad dog leaning on the sofa felt a mess in his head: "Severe sleep deprivation...... I'm dizzy now. ”

"That's two o'clock today. The knight frowned, and corrected the words boringly: "If you don't wake up, you will go to sleep again?" ”

"Lusa's baked cake is so fragrant, how can I fall asleep?" Listlessly inhaling the sweet fragrance, the mad dog seemed to hear the wail in his stomach: "Besides, I've brushed my teeth." ”

"Why are there so many things...... What does brushing your teeth have to do with sleeping, you don't have to brush your teeth before you go to bed?" Placing the plates in front of each person's seats, the knight glanced at him: "Go wash your face, or blow the cold wind." ”

"You're stupid to me, it's finally a little warm!" Cowering down by the fire, the mad dog protested dissatisfiedly, "It's much warmer than this in Cold Snow Castle...... Why doesn't there be a fireplace in this house?"

"Don't complain about this, you're the one who offered to come here. Putting the knife and fork away, the knight glared at the mad dog: "Aren't you sleepy? Go to the kitchen and help Lusa prepare breakfast, don't just think about eating and waiting! ”

"Forget it, my sister is very capable and doesn't need my help at all. And I don't cook, I just add to the mess. Beginning to be lazy, Mad Dog drooped his eyelids: "It's not like I'm not doing my job, knight...... Isn't it for the sake of Eternal Winter that you are taking such painstaking analysis notes?"

"It's true, I don't think you have much affection for this place. The knight laughed dryly: "Then what did you analyze?"

"Nothing was analyzed. Mad Dog simply denied it, and reached for the flask at his waist: "Don't slander me, knight. I wonder if I've got a lot of affection for this place -- you forgot how much Mace paid us, and I thought he would have to give more gold if he had figured out the location of the ruins......

"To put it bluntly, I'm still rushing for money. The knight had an expression that he knew this for: "I didn't save you." ”

Lao Tzu is long gone...... Unscrewing the flask, Mad Dog handed it to the knight: "Bring me some mead, not hot." ”

"You're too lazy like this! those boxes of wine are so close to you, can't you make them yourself?" snatched the flask, and Anusen glared at him: "It's strange that you can drink on an empty stomach early in the morning." ”

Damn, I knew it would be confiscated and I would have poured it myself...... Mad Dog looked aggrieved: "No way, I'm sleepy if I don't drink......"

"I'll make you coffee!" With a look of helplessness, the knight picked up the coffee pot and placed it on the stove. Then, he walked briskly to the kitchen, which was probably to get the coffee beans.

Speaking of which, I had a rather strange dream last night. Yawning again, Mad Dog fell into deep thought: it was as if he had dreamed that I was standing in a cloister with a silver-haired girl looking at me behind me......

The most bizarre thing about this dream was that he seemed to be looking at everything through the eyes of others. Usually in dreams, shouldn't you see your own appearance?

Shaking his head to dispel the thoughts that puzzled him, the mad dog squinted at the knight who was busy making coffee as he retrieved the beans: just before going to bed, he analyzed a very interesting thing - Lusa had fallen under the curse of loneliness, and was lonely because of it. Lucina, who accompanied her away from home, would be equally lonely when she fled together. As for the knights, they had no friends but old man Legree, and those who had been shut up all day must have been very lonely. And needless to say, I have been alone all these years.

This is not a coincidence, is it? Looking at the curse-free ring on his hand, the mad dog coughed dryly: The hooded man gave us a total of three rings, and there are two left in my hand. If the guidance of the Gate of Fate is indeed reliable, then there are two more people who will need it for a long or short time, or not, it may be a complete backup.

Thinking about it this way, the last time I passed by the city gate, I didn't find the visa officer...... Thinking of this, Mad Dog couldn't help laughing at himself: yes. Eternal Winter City is blocked by black ice, why do you need someone to go through the entry procedures? I didn't think of this before, so I stupidly went to knock on the door.

Throwing the knife high and catching it skillfully, Mad Dog put it away in boredom, and pulled out his parry dagger in front of him: what the man said to Lusha was inexplicable, and seemed to be hiding a lot of information. Moreover, he mentioned two words that made him extremely concerned.

That's ...... Lifebinder and Namedia. Fiddling with the dagger, the mad dog wagged his fingers and spun them in his hand: he had only heard a few stories about the Mortal Binders from Lucina. On his instincts, the Hooded Man had something to do with the Mortal Bound - maybe he was one of them himself.

As for Aya, whose name was Namedia, he couldn't figure it out. Since the visa officer mentioned the lock of Amrea, perhaps Namedia came here more than ten years ago to lift the curse...... Thinking about this, Mad Dog became more and more suspicious: he asked many people, including Edus, but none of them were willing to tell him more about Namedia. From their words, Mad Dog vaguely sensed something: the Aya was probably dead in Eternal Winter, or at least missing.

Smelling the strong aroma of coffee, Mad Dog closed his eyes sleepily and leaned his whole body back: "Hmm...... These coffee beans look like they've been ground and then roasted, right?"

"yes! I watched Lusha fry it. A slightly immature girl's voice sounded from beside her: "How do you know?"

"Smell it!" coughed, and the mad dog said leisurely, "Hey...... For something like black coffee, you should add a dozen pieces of sugar to it after it is cooked. Otherwise, you won't be able to taste it at all. ”

Gasping for breath again, Mad Dog soaked in the aroma of coffee and cake.

"Oh oh! what a coincidence, I love to add sugar like this, too!" the girl's voice was full of interest, "And besides, I like to add milk to it when I drink it." ”

"It's tasteful, and I always add raw milk. Rubbing his eyes, the mad dog chatted very interestingly: "This matter is very exquisite." Add milk to your coffee, and you're talking about it. Adding coffee to milk is coffee milk. ”

"Is there a difference?" the girl seemed to be more excited than him: "I remember ...... with Lusa before"

Wait a moment, it seems that something is wrong! Suddenly he opened his eyes, and the mad dog looked around in astonishment: Lucina was sitting next to her, munching on her cake.

"Isn't it going to take a few days for your body to recover?" After holding his throat for a long time, Mad Dog finally squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth: "Damn, I didn't react at all when I talked to you just now." ”

"Because I was anxious to see Lusa, I repaired my body in advance. Lucina smiled awkwardly, "Of course, the price of doing this is that you won't be able to use magic for a week or so...... Wow, what are you doing, what are you going to do?!"

Unable to contain his excitement, Mad Dog picked up the petite Lucina and made her sit in his arms: I had never been so happy to see someone. When I first talked to her, it seemed like the most relaxing minutes in the past few days.
