Flipping through a page of notes, the knight pinched his pen, intending to continue recording the Mad Dog's dictation. However, when he wrote the second letter, he reluctantly put down the pen: there was no more pen water.

"Why don't you write it, knight?" said the mad dog, yawning, "hurry up, don't grind—I'm still waiting to take you two to breakfast to celebrate your survival." Besides, Lao Tzu was almost poisoned yesterday, and he didn't eat well at all. ”

"It's just a pump, what are you anxious about?" the knight sighed and took the inkwell: "Hey...... When I think of last night, I am terrified. ”

When I woke up last night, I was already in Snowcastle, with Lusa, Mad Dog, and Mace sitting next to me. They seemed to be worried that they would be corrupted, so they sent a lot of guards to guard them.

"Nonsense, Lao Tzu is also scared to death. Mad Dog raised his eyebrows: "How idle are you? And Lusa - it was a good thing the mage didn't know that his imprisoned magic didn't work for Aya, otherwise it wouldn't have done her much. ”

"Hmm. Lusha nodded, pinching the ball: "Not long after the man left, the spell was invalid. After that, I took on a wolf form and hid with stealth. ”

"It's a pity I didn't see the face. Mad Dog coughed dryly: "According to Lusa, that guy is wearing a miserable white mask. ”

"That's enough to see...... I didn't see anyone. Separated by the memory, the knight almost rubbed the pen water into his hand: "I only remember that I was walking out of the study. Then an ice-blue halo burst out of his body, and he fainted. When I woke up again, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything clearly. ”

"And then you kicked everything out of your reach before you froze completely. Mad Dog raised his eyebrows: "Heh, you're smart...... If it weren't for hearing those movements, Lao Tzu wouldn't have bothered to go down. ”

"It's just survival instinct. The knight couldn't help but smile at the mad dog: when he woke up, he saw the uneasy look of the mad dog at first sight - of course, he noticed that he had woken up and immediately disguised it, replacing it with a nonchalant and lazy expression.

I didn't expect this guy to care so much about me...... The knight secretly thanked him: at first glance this guy looked like a bastard who didn't care about anything. However, once you spend a long time with him, you can understand the reliability of Mad Dog at critical moments.

It's been twenty years since I've had such a reassuring teammate since I parted ways with Zero...... Looking at the mad dog who was chatting with Lusa, the knight felt a sense of peace: you can't find a teammate worth entrusting your back to.

"Knight, look at my disgusting expression. Taking the tea poured by his sister, the mad dog squinted and looked at this side: "You always don't laugh, this smile is quite numb." ”

"You just can't talk like that?" Shaking his head helplessly, the knight squeezed the ink sac hard.

"Here, uncle. Lusa leaned over to the knight and handed her a cup of tea. After thanking Aya, he took a sip of his teacup. The rich and mellow bitter tea fragrance filled the tip of his tongue, making him take a long breath of enjoyment: this green tea tastes so good.

"Is it delicious?" Lusha's face was slightly red: "I asked Eddes to ask the housekeeper for tea from the land of the warm sun." Tea trees cannot be grown in the hot springs of Neverwinter, so they can only be imported. ”

"That's what happened. Staring at the tea leaves, Anusen fell into deep thought: if you want to enter Eternal Winter City from the main entrance, the environment along the way is rather treacherous, which is not conducive to the transportation of supplies. But if you look at the supplies from Beihai to the back door, it can be much safer.

"Damn, why is this tea so bitter? This is a human drink?" As soon as he drank a little, the mad dog showed a disgusted expression and put down the cup: "Lusha, is there any sugar?"

"Hmm. Aya nodded and handed a tin box to Mad Dog: "I'm ready." ”

"Not bad, not bad. Our Lusha is thoughtful. Opening the tin box, the mad dog showed a villainous smile: "Yo, it's still a sugar cube......? Even if it's a table, I can just nibble on it with some sugar. Won't the knights come here?"

"No, I don't. The knight frowned: "What kind of sugar do you put in green tea? If you want to put sugar, you can drink black tea. ”

"You said lightly, why didn't I see black tea?" Mad Dog snorted: "Besides, what can't be sweetened? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed three sugar cubes and threw them into his cup. After stirring, he leaned close to his lips and took a sip, showing an equally dissatisfied expression. So he grabbed three sugar cubes again and added them to the tea, repeating what he had just done.

When he threw in the three sugar cubes again, the panicked Lusha couldn't stand it before the knight: "Brother, you put too much candy......"

"What's more? It's only nine. Mad Dog stretched his waist very comfortably, stirred the tea and smacked: "Hmm...... Not bad. This sweetness is just right. ”

"You really should be keeping your sugar intake, mad dog. The knight frowned, and picked up the pen again: "It must be uncomfortable to be old when you indulge yourself like this." ”

"I'm too lazy to think about what will happen when I'm older. Whether or not you can live that long is the question. The mad dog narrowed his eyes: "If you can live for a day, you can eat sugar today." Besides, if you just talk about me, why don't you talk about Lucina?"

"Lucina is Aya, no matter how she eats. You don't compare yourself to her. Buckling the cap behind the pen, the knight looked up and asked, "Go on, mad dog." Pumped water. ”

"Where did I just go?" Mad Dog drank half of the glass of "sugar water" and coughed dryly, "Oh yes, here it is - the clone's memories don't seem to have been erased by the hooded man." According to his reaction, it is completely possible to assume that you do have a wife and daughter. ”

"It's a pity you didn't ask any more. The knight felt a sense of frustration: "I can only be sure that they exist, but I don't even know their names." ”

"Nonsense, can I ask more?" Mad Dog pouted disdainfully, "If he notices that I'm suspicious, he won't be able to sneak attack." It's a copy of yours, and I won't kill it easily. ”

"Speaking of clones...... "Looking at the shield beside him, the knight clenched his pen, "I have finally learned an important piece of information." That is the belief that the clone cannot imitate the ontology. ”

"To put it bluntly, you can only copy memories. Mad Dog put down the teacup: "And this memory is also incomplete...... For example, he didn't hear my about lockpicking contests. ”

"That's a valuable breakthrough. The knight propped up his chin and pondered, "Maybe we can use this to screen out the clones that are mixed in the crowd by questioning each other." ”

"That's no fun. Mad Dog leaned back and lifted Erlang's legs: "How do you make sure that the people who question each other are not all clones?"

"That's right. The knight felt a pang of hunger: "Let's go eat first...... I remember the central business district?"

"That's right. Mad Dog stood up and touched the hilt of his sword: "I also have a proposal - we will not stay in Cold Snow Castle these days, but go to the Bachelor's Tower in the Old City." ”
