For most of the nezumi in Vale, tonight was a sleepless night. Their mentor, the Grey-robed Mage, rode his red dragon from the northern sky and fell into the Dragon's Blood Creek. When the rats finally managed to get the man up with great effort, they found that Migo had a large coat of metal on his abdomen and right wing. At first, some nezumi thought the metal was something like armor, but they realized that this was not the case when they noticed that the red dragon scales beneath the metal layer had shattered, revealing the flesh underneath.

Migo's injuries are delicate. Saying that it was serious, the silver dragon's breath did cause terrible wounds, but these wounds did not penetrate deep into the internal organs, similar to humans, they were probably serious abrasions, although the flesh and blood were blurred, but it was always good. It wasn't serious, but the impact of falling from the sky into the Dragon's Blood Creek broke the dragon's right wing, along with his left hind limb. Such injuries were enough for the proud dragon to lie dormant on the ground for months.

In contrast, the problem of cheese is more troublesome. The gray-robed man woke up and rushed north without saying a word, trying to return to the Grey Tower, but when he rushed down the Dragon's Back Mountain, he was stunned on the snowy field. The mage realized that he had forgotten how to find his way back. This caused the Frost Guardians to think he was crazy, and he didn't stop his crazy gibberish until Elsa calmed Cheese down with a basin of ice water. Cheese had become depressed when he returned to the valley, and now that he understood his situation, he should have been exiled.

What happened in the Dragon's Lair is still fresh in his mind, and Cheese remembers everything Ann Lina said to him, the Grey Tower was invaded, and at the same time, Ann Lina exiled him. The meaning of this act is clear, isn't it? The Bloodline who raised him didn't want him to be involved in this mess. Coupled with Ann Lina's last words before pushing him off the platform, Cheese had reason to believe that the other party's reason for doing so was that even if the mage stayed in the tower at this time, he would not be able to help the Grey Tower out of chaos. At the same time, her words also involve the sleeper, does this mean that the sleeper helped the cheese because of Ann Lina's push, or even what is the deeper meaning of the trip she arranged for him?

"Get to the crux of the problem and address it at its root. The mage's body was hidden in the shadow of the wide back of his chair, and he silently repeated the words in his mouth.

"Do you still want to go?" The Grand Duke's letter has just arrived today, and he is asking what you think. Elsa asked worriedly, she didn't know what was going on with Cheese. No one knew, because the mage didn't say anything to anyone. But even so, it is not difficult to guess the seriousness of the matter from the horrific wounds on Migo's body.

Cheese took a deep breath and picked up his pen to try to write a reply to the Grand Duke. But his hands had been shaking, and the tremor had not stopped since he had returned from the Grey Tower, and the splashes of ink from the quill had created strange patterns on the letterhead. He pressed his right wrist with his left hand, trying to stop his trembling, but it didn't work.

"I'll help you, I can still help if you write letters, I've learned a lot during this time..."Elsa approached Cheese, hoping to complete the task of writing letters for him.

Who knew that the red fox's words were like a stab, and suddenly the mage raised his head, revealing an undisguised fierce expression, he was ready to say rude words to Elsa, but perhaps it was the red hair that made the cheese find himself the moment he roared, he closed his mouth fiercely, and the teeth of his upper and lower jaws made a clear sound when they hit each other. Lovely Elsa was already frightened, she had never seen Cheese show such an expression, even in the face of the most formidable opponent, the mage had never shown such a terrifying look.

He reminded her of a wounded beast, and could only hide his weakness with a hideous face. The red fox bit his lip and tried to take another step forward from his unconscious retreat, while thinking about what words to use to restore Cheese to his usual appearance. But before Elsa could organize the words, the mage had already spoken again, "Help me tell the Grand Duke that I will be in three days to melt iron." ”

With that, he got up and prepared to walk out of the room. When she walked past Elsa, she said, "I'm sorry. ”

Red Fox's hand was clenched tightly, and she tried to keep herself from looking at Cheese's face, "I'll go with you, I don't feel at ease if you are like this." ”

"I'll tell Colandy to let you go to the royal capital for a while, and it may soon become a place of right and wrong. "If there is indeed a force to invade the Grey Tower, then as the closest Grey Robe stronghold to the Grey Tower, Vale City and the northern part of the Greylion where it is located will no longer be safe. Cheese doesn't want Elsa to be exposed, and Cute Elsa doesn't necessarily think so.

"Why don't you let me go with you? Are you afraid that I will become a burden? My skills have not regressed in recent years, and Lothar said that I already have the level of a knight of the kingdom!"

"It's because of Lothar that you can't go!" the meaning of the mage's words was already clear. A few years ago, there was also a man who accompanied Lothar on an adventure and she never returned.

Elsa grabbed Cheese by the collar and almost lifted him off the ground with great force. Red Fox's eyes almost burst into flames, because Cheese's words were undoubtedly an insult to any woman. But when she saw Cheese's eyes, her already raised fist slowly lowered.

"I, along with the webworms, and any of the women, are not vassals of you arrogant bastards. You can lay down your lives for the sake of your goals, and so can we. I don't need you to worry. ”

"I... I'm so sorry. Cheese has realized where his problem is, but the words have been spoken and cannot be taken back.

Elsa had never seen a mage so weak, and unlike the casualness he had shown before because he didn't care about the world, it was as if a piece of cheese had been poached. Red Fox never thought she would be disgusted with this man, but she only felt uncomfortable seeing his face now. It's not him, it's not the guy she knows.

As Red Fox threw the collar he was pulling, Cheese was thrown to the door with a muffled sound. Fortunately, Elsa had no intention of hurting him, so despite the pain in her back, the mage didn't actually suffer any injuries. "Letter, I'll write it for you. But you let me get out of here now! You are not the owner of this tower, it does not have a master like you. You cheese-clad thing, don't defile this tower again. ”

Cheese felt more pain in his chest than the pain in his back, and the pain was unbearable for him. He struggled to his feet, as if under some powerful curse, "What about you, where will you go after I'm gone?"

"I'll be here waiting for the real cheese to come back. ”

Before dawn, the gray robe set out on the road to the molten iron alone. The wind blowing behind him made him feel the cold of winter in the summer. He did not expect that in just a few days, he would be exiled by two places, by two places that he could call home, by two people who could call him family. Gloria had been waiting on the side of the road for a long time, a lantern in her hand, Breath of Dawn, a gift from the Grand Duke of the Hammer to the mage.

"I thought you'd be able to use it, so I took it for myself. We'll take good care of your dragon, and so are others..."

Cheese took the lantern casually and didn't mean to stop. The nezumi baroness was gushing behind him, and all he could hear was the wind.
