"That's it, I've sent madness, and it's going to make the things that aren't human and rats kill each other until dawn. It's ridiculous that one of your fellow disciples thinks I really made this deal with him out of hatred for the Mother of the Crypt. Doesn't he understand that for us your so-called emotions do not exist at all, and that the existence that does not even feel joy naturally does not feel hatred, and what a fool it is. ”

"Actually, you can't say that, you don't have emotions in yourself. But when you put your consciousness into the world, you will be more or less affected by the creatures of this world, especially when you try to influence them. For example, your preference for me has made me wary. ”

"It's just a little thing, not to mention that you and I just made a deal, Wet Soul, that's what you call Him, right? Didn't He also give you a fragment of His incarnation in this world? I don't think I've done anything too much compared to that. ”

"That was different, the raindrops of the first rain were not so much a gift as a deposit that He had advanced to me, which, judging by what happened afterwards, was not excessive. But you, Your Excellency the Mother of Shadows, you sneaked into my dream at this time and took the initiative to talk to me, which made me very suspicious of my own means of protecting my spirit. ”

"Forget those stupid spells, what you have seen is too narrow, let alone what you have in your hands. If you want knowledge and power, you just have to believe in Me, and then you can get everything you seek. ”

"Thank you for your kindness. Please also forgive me for not being able to accept your invitation. What is too easy to obtain is too illusory, and I prefer to discover new knowledge with my own hands rather than what you have given me. As for the narrowness of our vision, the limitations of our cognition, I think it is precisely these things that make our souls. ”

"Well, I'll ask you again, mortal. And next time, maybe I won't be so soft. ”

Sleep, interrupted by a slight shaking. Cheese opened his eyes and saw Elsa, who looked concerned, and the mage remembered that he had slept in the guest room of the royal castle. It is worth mentioning that because of the interruption of sleep by the Mother of Shadows, although the physical Cheese got a little rest, the spiritual mage did not get the recovery he deserved.

"Dragonspine Mountain is on top! I can't wake you up no matter how I scream, and if the shaking doesn't work for you, I'll have to go find ice water." The proprietress had red hair hanging down her ears, and Cheese noticed that his heart was quickly relaxed after hearing her joke.

"Please don't do that, the cold water brings back a lot of bad memories for me. The mage rubbed his temples and sat up from his bed, dressed in the dressing gown that the servant had brought him, and the stubble on his face had no time to take care of because of the events of the day. At this time, Cheese didn't look like a powerful spellcaster at all, but more like an ordinary young man who had just woken up.

"Well, I'll make a note of your weakness, Mr. Mage. Would you like to tell me what made you sleep so deeply?" Elsa smiled and sat down next to Cheese, although she didn't know what happened to the mage, but when a person can't be woken up by a voice, it's always not right, isn't it?

"Hmm......" Cheese thought for a moment, he didn't know how to explain what happened to the other party, but this question didn't bother him for long, and the smile of the woman in front of him and the concern in her eyes made the gray robe smile unconsciously. "It's just that I'm getting entangled in troublesome guys. ”

"Sounds like a woman, I guess, is her name Kolandy?" the proprietress was still smiling, but the mage instinctively felt that her smile was not as warm as it had been. In fact, although it had been some time since Elsa and the others had returned, the situation in the royal capital was changing rapidly, and Cheese did not have time to explain to her the whole story of his engagement to the witch. Now it looks like she's probably heard someone else talk about it.

This time, Cheese was really speechless. To explain this, he had to start with what a strange existence a witch was, but the smile on the boss's face made him feel that the other party didn't seem to have the patience to listen to him talk about such a long list of things. And soon, the mage wonders why he wants to explain Colendy's marriage contract to Elsa, is there some kind of relationship between him and Elsa that compels him to do so?

When Cheese gets caught up in the speculation of his relationship with the boss lady, Elsa's smile slowly fades. Many times, not answering is also an answer. "Well, you don't have to be so nervous. I say this because Madam Emia asked me to ask you when she would see her daughter. Listening to her, now that the witches who were chasing her are gone, it seems that she is considering leaving the country with Colendy. I don't know you spellcasters very well, but I don't think running away will solve the problem. ”

The wizard shrugged his shoulders, calculating the days it had been two days since Klante had been accidentally teleported away by the early warning mechanism on Cheese's body, and it was time to bring her back. Thinking so, the gray-robed mage stood up, moved his body for a moment, and said, "They have their thoughts, and I can't interfere with that. But this time I agree with you, although the witches are gone, they have not suffered any substantial losses, and it is not a good idea to venture out of the stronghold that the Grey Lion has been running for a long time. With that, he picked up the clothes hanging on the wall, and looked like he was ready to go out. It is worth mentioning that seeing that the mage was about to change clothes, Elsa had no intention of leaving this room at all. And the cheese, who is accustomed to life in the Gray Tower, is not familiar with some worldly etiquette.

When the well-dressed mage pushed the door open and left the room, he was stopped by the waiter who had been waiting by the door for a long time. It was evident that the reserved young man knew what a terrifying being he was talking to, and that the story of how Cheese and his companions defeated the demon hidden in the king's body had been written in many versions, and in the most ordinary version, the mage was also described as a monster that could breathe fire and thunder.

"Venerable, honorable master," the waiter's body began to tremble with fear and nervousness after confirming that the cheese noticed him, "the King, Your Majesty and the Chancellor of the Exchequer are waiting for you in the study, and I hope you can come over." ”

The mage frowned when he heard this, with his knowledge of the demon, Sigget, the body of the Greylion King could not recover so quickly. Even if he used to be a strong fighter, it was not a surprise to lie in bed for a month or two. Why, then, did the King of his wounds summon him so anxiously? and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whom Cheese had never heard of before.
