Chapter 69: Farewell

Heather woke up again at noon the day after the nezumi attacked Turbidity Town, and although Cheese had plucked the plague virus from her body in the basement, the mutated body parts required a lot of energy to repair them. As a result, the current chief knight is only able to lie in bed, and even since most of the energy is supplied to the body's repairs, Heather can stay awake for no more than three hours a day, according to Cheese's estimates.

This meant that if others wanted to get information from Heather, they would have to seize this short period of wakefulness. So when Heather woke up, a servant immediately went to inform Lothar and the others, and soon the Count of Montenegro came to the door with Cheese and Leon.

"If you have anything to ask, just go in. But remember not to force her to remember if she can't remember for a while. Her brain had also been traumatized from previous lesions, and it wouldn't be surprising if any of her memories of the last few days had been missing. Cheese said to the other two.

"Listen to you, are you not going to go in? Why?" Lothar looked at the mage suspiciously, the three of them could undoubtedly maximize the value of this limited-time exchange was Cheese, but the mage had no intention of going in at all.

"I already know pretty much what I need to know. The reason why she came here was only to make sure that Ms. Heather's mind and body were recovering from her mind. I don't want to save a monster that looks like a human being. Now I can already feel that my treatment is indeed the right one. Although the side effects may seem a little bigger, they should improve with gradual improvement. And I thought, too, it's time to say goodbye and leave. Cheese said. At the same time, after speaking, he bowed slightly, indicating that the thing he said to leave was not just about leaving the ward.

Leon thought for a moment and said.

"Are you worried about Elsa? Actually, you can get them back, and now I don't think Grigory is going to dare to do anything in this situation. "With yesterday's exploit in helping the Count of Montenegro defeat the Giant Ratmen, coupled with rushing back to warn the Ratmen of their escape, these things have allowed the Blood Lion to quickly regain his prestige among the Knights. Although Gregory had previously won over a considerable number of Kingdom knights through the issue of birth, Leon, as the head of the regiment, was still a commander who was quite recognized by knights from noble backgrounds, so now, although the Kingdom knights of Turbidity Town were still in an embarrassing atmosphere, but with Lothar's backing, even if there were opponents who wanted to take the opportunity to attack Leon, they had no excuse to question him for a while.

As for the issue of contracting the plague. Those who had been in contact with the rat people before yesterday were an absolute minority, and many even thought that the rat-like alien was a hallucination from the mouths of the refugees due to serious illness. But when these monsters attacked in the sun yesterday, no one in the entire Turbidity Town dared to say that they were not infected. In such a situation, the quarantine order for Lyon and others naturally cannot be established. And between yesterday and today, Cheese as the only healer after the withdrawal of the Pharmacist Association has been running between the many wounded, although this mage's medical methods are inevitably a little different from the "correct method" recognized by ordinary people, and some of them will even make people feel creepy, but it is undeniable that Cheese is undoubtedly qualified as a war doctor. Therefore, whether it is an ordinary soldier or Lothar himself, when talking to the mage, he will unconsciously bring a little respect in addition to suspicion. In Leon's words, the mage was recognized by these warriors.

"No, I'll let the Kingdom knights come back on their own when I join them, and as for Elsa, I think it's better for us to keep our free time. After all, many of my methods of doing things should be burned at the stake in the eyes of your soldiers. I've made a good impression on them, and I don't want that trust to turn into suspicion because of overexposure. Shrugging his shoulders, Cheese's mobility has also improved greatly after removing the virus from his right arm, at least the current mage can do a lot of things on his own, instead of needing the help of the boss lady like before.

"Well, as you say, we don't seem to have a reason to keep you. But do I know what you're going to do next before you leave?, I mean, will you stay within the confines of the county of Salon, or will you follow the fake Baron Grey to the rest of the kingdom? Lothar said. The Earl of Montenegro also knew that it was rude to ask the other party about his next move so bluntly, but for the sake of the overall safety of the Grey Lion Kingdom, he had to master the range of activities of a dangerous person like Cheese. At the very least, if the mage decides to leave here, he should say hello to the surrounding noble lords in advance, lest anyone accidentally anger the gray-robed mage.

Of course, the mage also knew the meaning of Lothar's question, and although he couldn't tell him the exact itinerary, Cheese had no intention of concealing his whereabouts, after all, if he could get the help of the nobles in the kingdom, it would be much easier for him to move. It's just that since there can be a fake Baron Gray in the kingdom of the blue lion, it is difficult to ensure that there are enemies in these nobles, so Cheese is reluctant to make his purpose too clear.

"I figured if nothing else happened I'd stay around here for a while, after all, I still owe some friends medicine that hasn't been settled. But when the matter is settled, I should start moving towards the royal capital. Before that, could you please help me keep an eye on that impostor?"

"No problem at all, the Montenegrin family still has a lot of friends in the royal capital, even if I am not there, but as long as I send someone to talk to them, I believe they are still willing to help me with this." Lothar was secretly relieved to get the news that Cheese would not be leaving the county of Ssalon for the time being, so that he would have time to convince those who were not eating the ancients to pay attention to this gray-robed man. As for spying on Baron Gray's movements, for the Montenegrin family, who are the king's most favored military nobles, as long as he speaks, the large and small factions in the royal capital will rush to offer information.

"Okay, then when I need help, I'll come to my door. I hope that the Montenegrin family will not be stingy when the time comes. With that, the mage left the house. From the window, Cheese could be seen riding on the horse led by the attendant next to him, heading out of Turbidity Town.

After the mage left, Lothar leaned against the wall of the corridor and spoke to Leon.

"Alright, in that case, then it's up to you to talk to Lord Heather. I'm just waiting here for your news. ”

The Blood Lion looked at the Count of Montenegro, the second knight of the kingdom and the Hammer Rose did have some scandals in the early years, but in the end, because the two were loyal to different objects, they did not have much opportunity to act together. That relationship ended without a problem in the end. Now that Lothar is saying this, she actually wants to make a joke about Leon on this topic after she relaxes. And although the blood lion was made to cry and laugh by the earl's childish joke, he still had to have someone to inquire about Heather's situation, and looking at Lothar's posture, he would not go in. So in desperation, Leon could only push the door with a wry smile and walk into Heather's hospital room.
