"Don't let your eagle drink water from this neighborhood, and don't let it hunt around here if you can. On the morning of the fourth day, Cheese told Batuu. The latter nodded earnestly, he was also present when the parasite was removed, and the boy, who regarded the falcon as his own family, would not let it take the risk.

"It's all in vain, if I want to say that the stupid bird doesn't understand human speech at all, it just responds to this kid according to reflex memory. I don't believe that anyone in this world can really communicate with a speechless beast! It's just an illusion, like if you have a dog, and that dog doesn't think you're a human and it's a dog, it thinks you're a dog! It's just a different breed. Kelath said as he swung his sword and slashed the grass in front of him. In fact, his point of view is shared by many people, and people generally refer to creatures without language as beasts, or in a narrower sense, they call everything that cannot speak to themselves. It's just that it's still quite funny when it comes out of a clothed cat.

Of course, Batu can't tolerate that, and in fact he probably can't tolerate Kailas's words, which is why there are constant quarrels between the two. At this time, the task of stopping the quarrel fell to Atta's shoulders. The female swordsman took Batu's arm slightly, and showed a sincere expression in the latter's gaze, and the steppe man, who had just been menacing, immediately became as docile as a kitten. Therefore, Cheese has always believed that all people in the world are actually wizards, they all have the ability to change others, influence others, and those who are influenced by them often enjoy it.

Quarrels, there are always opponents to quarrel, and with the silence on Batu's side, the cat goblin himself can't talk anymore. But in his heart, Kailas would see this as another victory for himself. The proud cat elf proved once again to be not only extremely skilled, but also far more intelligent than that stupid human, which also convinced him that this mortal-dominated world was completely unsuitable for Atalanta's life. She belongs to the realm of elves.

Of course, the mortals in Kairas's mind didn't include the gray robe who walked at the front of the group. Wizards, regardless of their race or education, have acquired a label that is more important than race and social status when they step through the door of mystery and peek into another aspect of the world. No wise person would ever use common sense to speculate about these spellcasters anymore, just as Kairaz wasn't sure what Cheese was thinking right now.

The cat fairy was certain that the wizard's solitary outing last night was anything but simple, but he didn't know what was involved. Atta had told him what had happened on the prairie last night, and Kailath was impressed by her mention of the Cheese and Skinner's trade, and if the wizard could trade with those evil beings, what would he have to worry about working with the Purple Shirts when he thought it was necessary? Will Atta become a bargaining chip in his hands then? This speculation was of course dirty, but as the next fairy queen's bodyguard, he had to do it.

"We're wasting another time. After a few men had gone up the river, Kailas rushed up to Cheese and said to him, "I know you're worried about your companion, but isn't it ridiculous that he has fallen into the chasm where you came, and that you're here with us four days later to look for clues to him! You say that the chasm has something to do with the big tree, what the knots are, but look around you! Where are the knots? Where are the big trees? This hellish place is the grass and the people and their livestock, and there has never been a tree!" There's no weird or bizarre sign that the shaman you told you about was just hallucinating after inhaling too many hallucinogenic herbs! That partner of yours just fell into the crack after the earthquake, and that's it!"

Cheese's footsteps stopped. Atta and Batu, who were walking behind, were frightened by Kailas's sudden remarks, they wanted to pull the cat back but did not dare to rush past the wizard at this time, they thought that the gray robe would be angry and would use his magic to bring the cat goblin to its knees.

But that's not the case. "We are on the right path, and this path will allow us to find my friends. If you want proof, I'll show you. ”

After speaking, the gray robe waved his right hand, and the robe on his body was windless, he lowered his body, picked up a small pebble from the ground, and then turned his hand and threw it into the river. "Get up!" The simple words carried a mysterious power, the splashes of the stones did not fall back into the river, they gathered in the air as if they had life, and the more they gathered, the mage's skill in playing the water must be very good, otherwise the stones he threw would not still be bouncing in the river now, splashing more water. When the splashes had accumulated to about the size of a man's fist, the mage stopped accumulating and allowed the stones to fall into the water. At the same time, his right hand flicked in front of him like a blade.

"Huh!" the gathered stream of water turned into a flying knife that fanned out towards the area behind Kailas. The cat fairy only felt a chill behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a whole neatly cut lawn, and the stalks that were knee-high had become only ankle-high. The only thing that stood unaffected in the faded grass was a crucified body made of straw rope and sticks, but with six twisted rings of varying lengths. Just by seeing that thing, all the hair on the cat goblin exploded.

"Look, the existence of this thing means that we are not wrong. ”

"It's... Can... I cut so much grass before, one of this... I haven't seen anything like that!" Kelas argued, trying to find the right words to describe the knot in front of him. If these knots were so common, he couldn't have noticed them on his previous journey, "I see! You made it! You're deceiving us!"

"Kailas, that's enough!" Several people present were startled by Atta's angry shout, especially the cat fairy himself, he had never seen a female swordsman with such an expression, especially for the elf, Ata's sky-blue eyes were now full of clearly visible anger.

"Yes, I'm sorry, ma'am. And you, wizard. Kailas, who had just been in full spirit, shrank and lowered the ears on his head, and he bent slightly, as if he had been drained of his strength, and walked away from the mage. But Cheese didn't let him go like that, he stretched out his hand, stood in front of the cat goblin, and then turned back to Atta and said,

"Just because something can't be seen with our naked eyes doesn't mean they don't exist. But they do cause us trouble, and from the point of view of your guards, I can understand what he did, and it was not his fault. Of course his attitude is not good, but I think he has learned his lesson. ”

"But when he speaks to you like that, he doubts your purpose. ”

"We're always under suspicion, aren't we? It's not a big deal. Besides, don't you really have the kind of doubts that Kairas raised? He's right in this matter, it's that I didn't make it clear to you the basis for my tracking, and I've always been like that, and this habit has hurt a lot of people. Cheese's eyes darkened as he spoke, remembering what Elsa had said to him in the valley and how stupid he had done what he thought was clever and stupid. But now was not the time to dwell on mistakes, and the mage was quick to pick himself up.

"So, that's the way it is. We are not blindly moving forward, sometimes these knots stand on the side of the road, sometimes they are hidden deeply. I think the same is true of the big tree that Wu Qi mentioned, and I think we're very close to that tree. ”
