Three days after capturing Gloria, who had turned into a nezumi, Cheese finally reappeared in the Tavern at the Top of Dragon's Back. During the three days of discussion, there were many theories in the town about the disappearance of this mysterious man. Two of the Frost Guardians even swore that the mage had hidden the monster that had attacked the livestock in the tavern, much to the relief of the villagers that the animals were no longer missing, but at the same time unable to thank the mage. After all, defeating monsters alone and domesticating monsters to devour livestock are now more likely to happen in the eyes of the villagers.

At the same time, although Commander Jon, the leader of the Frost Guards, received a report about this matter, the old commander did not have the energy to focus on these "little things" now. Maybe it's a good pastime in normal times. But the last time he followed Cheese's advice and sent two successive groups of soldiers to the county of Salon, both teams seemed to sink into the sea, and there was no reply. In the past, it only took three days to travel from the town down the hill to Earldom of Saron to Canyon City if you were fast, and even three days after the departure of the first team, Commander Jon sent a second team to meet him because he was worried, and he also had the second team carry the carrier pigeons of the communication. But now six days have passed, not to mention the carrier pigeons, not even a single crow has flown from the south.

Damn, I'm afraid the gray-robed man's warning is true. On the fourth day, Commander Jon wanted to visit Cheese to get more advice, but was told that Cheese was not in the tavern, and his absolute trust in Elsa made the old commander not suspect the boss's lies. Although it was true that Cheese was not at the top of the dragon's spine at that time. In desperation, he had no choice but to deploy the defenders on the hill to the south, and at the same time began to build defensive wooden fences and lookouts. For a long time, the Frost Guardians have only focused on the threat from the north, coupled with their own scarce resources and strong military strength, the successive lords of the south have not paid much attention to this legion. As a result, the Legion's south-facing defenses have always been just border posts along the main road. Such defenses are obviously not able to block the real threat, and it is even difficult to play the role of early warning. The old commander knew this very well, and simply Frost never relaxed his requirements for the soldiers, they were guarding the front of the ancestors all the time, so in just two days, with the full force of the legion, a weak but complete defense line has been gradually established.

"But that's not enough. Commander Jon muttered under his breath that he needed more information for the safety of the legion and the townspeople, and that the scholars and staff officers in the legion could not do anything about it, so there was only one person left to ask for help. So when he heard that Cheese had reappeared, he was the first to come here.

Pushing open the door to the tavern, the table at which Cheese was sitting stood out, partly because no one in the town dared to sit next to him, and partly because there were so many things on his table. All sorts of fleshy food were piled up on the table like a hill, leaving Commander Jon to guess which mysterious gray-robed man belonged to the hand that was constantly grabbing food.

"Long time no see, Mr. Cheese. The old commander sat across the table, and when the other guests in the tavern saw him enter, they all began to check out and leave. Even if the northerners in the small town under the mountain have not joined the legion, they must have legion soldiers at home, so as military dependents, they should listen to those things, and it is better to know less about those things. Although this did not prevent them from privately speculating about what the commander had said to Cheese.

Cheese responded enthusiastically when he heard the commander's voice.

"Uh-huh...... Uh-huh-hmm......"

"Well, I think you'd better swallow what's in your mouth first. The commander said with a twitch in the corner of his eye.

When Cheese heard this, he quickly stuffed two more pieces of meat into his mouth, stuffed his mouth to the brim, and then began to chew in unison. To be honest, Elsa looked at him from behind the bar and wondered how he had swallowed such a large chunk of food. As for Commander Jon, he was glad that his view was blocked by the mountain of food, and he didn't see this terrifying scene.

"Hiccup!" Cheese burped exaggeratedly, swallowing all the food in his mouth. He waved his right hand, and the food on the table automatically floated up and flew to the table next to him. This also allowed Commander Jon to see the mage for the first time after seeing Cheese for the first time. At this time, the cheese was still wearing a gray robe, but probably to facilitate eating, most of the robe was lifted and put behind the shoulder, and it can be seen that the cheese's left shoulder is still wrapped in a thick bandage. Cheese's left arm also hangs under the table, and only his right hand holds a fork.

"Are you hurt?" said Commander Jon with a frown. Although he heard about Cheese fighting monsters alone, he didn't expect Cheese to be so badly injured.

"It's okay, it's just a small injury. As you can see, the immobility of one hand does not affect me. As he spoke, he threw it away, and the fork in his hand made a series of stunts in the air before inserting it into the steak at the next table.

"I hope so, after all, with the current state of affairs, I am afraid that your power is crucial. Commander Jon nodded, accepting the mage's words, after all, Cheese was not a warrior with a knife and a gun.

"Okay, I know I'm running out for time, so I'm going to talk to you openly and honestly, Elsa, come and listen too, after all, I promised you before. Cheese said. The proprietress quickly sat down at the table from behind the bar in three steps, and stuck her tongue out mischievously as Commander Jon looked at him reproachfully.

"So, I'll start with who I really am. Ha, it's ironic, I was trying to make up some kind of origin until three days ago. But what I've discovered in the past three days has made me realize that I'm afraid I'll have to use the power of the Frost Guardian. Cheese shrugged, forgetting the wound on his left shoulder, and his expression instantly distorted under the stimulation of pain.

"As you can see, I am a spellcaster. It's also called a mage, although I personally think this definition is quite loose, but let's say it first. ”

Both Commander Jon and Elsa had a natural expression, after all, although Cheese had only released some spells that could be called tricks in the past few days, there was no doubt about the identity of his spellcaster.

"Well, I also want to say that I come from a mage organization that is hidden and even a little secluded, and the leader of this organization is my teacher. Cheese said.

"Your organization is north of the mountains?" asked Commander Jon.

"Yes, it's just that we can survive there by the power of magic, which is why I said that it is not universal. As for where exactly we are in the north, I can't say. This part of the truth was originally in the content that Cheese was preparing to confess, so he didn't hide it much.

"Okay, please continue. The mage's answer was expected by the Commander, and Jon nodded and said.

"I came here because my teacher gave me an assignment. Although he didn't say it explicitly, I could have guessed what the purpose of the mission was. Cheese said.

"Are you saying that what happened to the county of Saron was because of your teacher?" asked Elsa, frowning as she said, if Cheese's teacher had put a county in such a big crisis for the sake of a trial, I'm afraid her impression of Cheese would have changed.

"I'm afraid not, although my teacher has this ability, but I don't think he will pay such a big price for me to try. Cheese shook his head, he was not entirely sure about this matter, after all, in the eyes of his teacher, a small county was probably not worth caring about. However, combined with the records of the other seniors' adult trial missions, he was more inclined to believe that his teacher had just foreseen what was about to happen here, so he threw him on the stage of this drama.

"Okay, you go on. Although there was no positive answer, Elsa was at least certain that he didn't know, based on Cheese's reaction. That's enough.

"What follows is the results I have discovered in the past three days, and it can be said that this is the most important thing at this stage, and through these three days of physical research, I can probably determine ......."

Next, Cheese gave a brief introduction to the various tests that he and Ann Lina had conducted on Gloria for three days and the results of the research on the plague that infected her.
