"Didn't anyone stop her?" the mage then asked, "If the elven law in your mouth dictates the passing of the throne and the requirements of the successor, then there is no reason not to set up subsequent provisions to prevent the resulting strife and confusion. As a candidate for the next Fairy King, didn't they provide you with any protection?"

"Yes. Atta lowered his head slightly, his palms clasped together, "This body is the best protection for the candidate." Fairies are beings who belong to another world, and in addition to special races such as the Yew people, more goblins can only be bystanders in this world. So the goblins don't think I'm in danger. Besides, they gave me Frakrag to protect myself. ”

The swordswoman's explanation sounded a little imperfect, but Cheese didn't go any further, asking into the details, such as why the elves she grew up with would hire yew people to kill her, unlike the elves had always felt like they were. According to most people's understanding of goblins, even if goblins choose to follow the example of mortals to form an institution like the royal court for various reasons, their innate lack of awareness of rights and duties should not make their society highly politicized. Of course, it is also difficult for a strong person to get the answer to this kind of question from Atta's mouth, she only grew up in the goblins when she was a child, and she does not have a deep understanding of the goblin society, let alone reflect and deconstruct.

"In other words, yews are enemies, aren't they?" the mage summed up after a brief pause, as his right hand thrust the wooden staff with the lantern into the soft dirt beneath his feet.

"Yes, why are you—" Atta was interrupted in the middle of her sentence when she was shoved from Cheese, and she somehow caught the limp Batuu, who was breathing evenly and could even hear a slight snoring. It was incredible, for Batu had been silently standing beside the mage and watching the fire in the distance before he was thrust into her hands.

"Oh, apparently our friend had a premonition that this was going to be a boring conversation when you and I started talking, so we took a break to regain our energy. Cheese winked playfully as he spoke, his hands were exaggeratedly extended, and then his whole body was half a step back, and his right foot was the core, and his open arms were quickly closed and attached to the front and back of his body, and at the same time he bowed forward, like an actor saluting the audience on stage. Atta's gaze followed the mage's movements behind her, and her body tensed immediately.

In fact, if you think about it, since Cheese released the skinned person in the fog, then the owner of the fog naturally has no need to stay in the fog. The Yew people stood quietly behind the three of them, about fifty paces or so, as they had done yesterday. In addition to this, it may be that realizing that as long as the Breath of Dawn is still in the hands of Cheese, the mist is meaningless, and the fairy mercenaries did not choose the same tactics as yesterday, they really stepped on the land and walked towards their goal.

"Phew, I don't know your price, but depending on your dedication, even I want to hire you. The mage smiled a little, saying not just sarcastic or flattering, his hand in front of him reaching into the folds of his gray robe, making it impossible to see what was real, and the hand behind his back gestured to Atta not to act rashly. Yesterday with Lothar, the Yew people were not able to quickly defeat the squad in terms of frontal combat ability, but now that the Earl's whereabouts are unknown, Atta alone will never be able to face the plural Yew people alone.

Besides, Cheese has no intention of doing so. Last night, he actually had a way to repel the Yew people, but it was only because of the sudden intervention of the skinned man and the lack of understanding of friend and foe that he chose to retreat. Now that one of last night's enemies has made peace with him temporarily, he can also show his hole cards a little bit to give his squad more time.

The Yew people didn't choose to shoot their signature poison arrows in the first place, probably because their arrows were consumed on the skinned ones last night, and it's more likely that they had other considerations. The formation of the yew people spreads slightly, presenting an arc-like array, and on the flat grassland, they are not afraid of the target to escape.

"Why haven't they attacked yet?" asked the swordswoman, a little nervous, not naïve enough to think that the Yew Man would stop hunting her. There was no fear in her voice, though, for the confidence Cheese was now showing convinced her that the Grey Mage had a way out of the crisis.

"They're looking for Lothar. Yesterday you said that the Yew people are only afraid of hellfire and pure iron, but you are not all right. Those two things can indeed kill them, but weapons mixed with iron and flames that ignite them can also cause them damage. The proof is in them. Cheese's words led Atta to see a lot of details, indeed, as the mage said, some traces of axe slashing could be seen on the bodies of those yew people, those marks were not very deep, but compared to the skinned ones who fought with them for a day without leaving the slightest scar on the yew people, this was quite a remarkable injury. And with weapons that can really cause damage, there is no way for the Yew people to attack unscrupulously. After all, no matter how blunt a blunt knife is, it can also kill.

"That's fine, if they shoot arrows directly, we'll probably have to scramble for a while. While they are still hesitating, just knock them back. As he spoke, the mage pulled out his hand hidden in his clothes, holding the same dragon flute that he had taken out but didn't use last night, "Old man, I know you're still cultivating, but you have to help me." ”

The gray-robed wizard raised the dragon flute in front of him and took a deep breath, at the same time, as if hearing the whisper of the cheese, the dragon flute in his hand also began to glow red from the inside. The scorching light spurred the Yew people at once, and the archers in their back immediately fired arrows, and the warriors in front of them began to charge forward. But their reaction was still a step too late, and if they didn't go to find Lothar's whereabouts in the first place, and directly hit the cheese with all their might, it would be difficult for the mage to be so calm.

Cheese's chest bulged out with air, and his eyes did not show the slightest fear of the flying arrows and the rushing enemy, on the contrary, those originally deep black eyes turned into lizard-like pupils for a moment when he pressed his lips to the mouth of the dragon flute!

The dragon flame transferred from the mouth of the dragon thousands of miles away into the magic flute lit up half of the night sky in the blink of an eye, this is a situation that even Cheese did not imagine, and the use of the dragon flute as the medium of dragon breath is indeed his attention, but he didn't expect Migo's dragon breath to be so powerful!

This is not to blame Migo, since the battle of the Gray Tower, the young red dragon has also suffered a serious impact in his heart, in the face of the same kind of dragon was beaten embarrassed, this proud red dragon lives in a kind of depression and anger every day, at this time Cheese asked for his help, he naturally turned all the depression and unhappiness into a violent dragon breath spit out. As a result of Migo's release of himself, the dragon flute used as a medium after the dragon's breath spewed became extremely hot, and if Cheese hadn't let go quickly, his mouth and hands would have been burned.

The fierce dragon's breath has such an effect on the mage who unleashes it, so the damage it does to the target of the spit can be imagined. The fire dispersed, leaving only a land of desolation and ashes. With cheese as the origin, the fan-shaped area about 200 paces towards the Yew Man was burned by the dragon's breath, and both the arrows shot and the Yew people who shot the arrows lost their original appearance under the dragon's breath. The only difference is that the arrows are gone. The yew people, on the other hand, turned into pitch-black charcoal figures, faintly emitting a red glow of dark flames.

"It doesn't look like hellfire really can't burn them. It's all like this, but it's just carbonization. A puff of gray smoke came out of his mouth, and Cheese said as he coughed. He had thought that dragon breath and demonic fire could achieve the same effect, but now it seemed that there was a fundamental difference between the two. But it doesn't matter, it will take a long time for these yew people to return to their mobile appearance. By the time they recovered, Cheese and the others probably had left the grassland.

"What are you doing?" Atta was visibly shocked by the scene just now, there was a subtle difference between the shock of this pure visual impact and the shock of the incredible, the former leading from the senses to the cerebral medulla, and the latter spreading from the cerebral medulla to the senses. It's just that this process happens very quickly, so it's not easy to tell the difference.

"Nothing, just buy us some time. Come on, you carry Batu, we need to get Lothar back. ”
