"Hey, I've heard your name. Do you know another uncomfortable guy in a gray robe?" asked Clarus at Cheese, but there was not the slightest hint of relaxation in his hand, he would not let his guard down until he was sure that the mage was one of the crow's fellow disciples. Furthermore, even if they are all grey-robed and have the same purpose, spellcasters are not a group to be trusted.

Cheese froze for a moment, and he looked at the Demon Spawn carefully, "Are you from molten iron, are you looking for that guy for revenge?" His answer sounded confusing, but it was much more effective than simply admitting or calling out the name of the Cursed Raven.

Krus smiled, "There's no need to seek revenge, in fact I owe him a favor." As he spoke, the Demon Descendant's gaze glanced at his nezumi apprentice, intentionally or unintentionally, "But I heard that you should stay in the royal capital now to accompany that idiot of Sigget." Instead, drag the family and come here where the rat people are rampant. ”

Having said that, Cheese has basically understood that the demon in front of him is not an enemy, and he will call the king of the blue lion in such a kind tone, plus Siggett once mentioned that it is very unusual for him to have a few partners during his adventure, so the identity of the person in front of him is worth considering. "It's not a good thing to owe Raven a favor, trust me, it's better for you to find an opportunity to kill him. As for why my buddies and I are here, as you say, the problem of the rat people is not something that can be solved by hiding behind the walls. I think the Raven must have realized this and made the same decision as me. Are you right?"

"You wizards speak in one tone. Krus shrugged his shoulders and removed the sword against Kolanty's neck, "I don't care if this plague ends here, I'm just here to return the favor." But thank you for your advice, and if I have the chance, I will use a simple method to understand the problem between me and him. Provided that he hasn't been torn to shreds by hungry rats. ”

Escaping from the coercion, Kelanti rushed out of the carriage and ran to Elsa's side. Seeing this, Jack also lowered the Peg in his hand to the ground, so that the poor girl could breathe freely. It's just that Wolfwalker didn't let the latter out of his control, and unlike Cheese, he didn't like this sulfur-smelling guy.

"I'm sure you'll have that chance. It's already very close to Valley City, and the rat people around here are all at their command, so they shouldn't attack for no reason, not to mention that guy is wearing the same robe as me. Cheese nodded, and as he spoke, he turned his gaze to the location of Valley City in the North, the farther north he went, the fewer encounters he encountered in the wild, presumably because Gloria and her companions were intentional. Speaking of nezumi, the mage's attention quickly turned to the only nezumi on the scene.

"That kid, something is different. Cheese's eyes began to sparkle with magic, and he was examining the creature in his own way.

"Did you notice?" Krus raised an eyebrow that didn't exist, thinking it was because the Raven had left some magical mark on his apprentice in order to find him later. And that's not good news for an assassin.

"Of course. Cheese nodded, and then jumped off the platform and walked three or two steps towards the boy, his approach was of course resisted by the latter, and the dwarf nezumi brandished the dagger in his hand in an attempt to stop the gray-robed man. If it was a cursed crow, he would directly use a spell to control this nezumi who dared to disobey him, but Cheese wouldn't, he first faced Jack, "Let that young lady go." Then he looked at Krus, "Can I check his body?"

The Demon Blink, surprised by Cheese's politeness and self-control, stepped out of the carriage and withdrew his sword into his palm. "Of course, it doesn't matter as long as you don't hurt him. Also, that kid's name is Jerry. ”

"It sounds as casual as what my dad picked me up. The wolfwalker muttered, nudging Peg on the back to keep the witch out of his reach. And the witch naturally can't wait to get away from this guy who is completely immune to magic. No one, whether it's an enemy or a partner, likes to stay by the side of a werewolf when they know they can't do any damage to the other.

"As a killer, there's more to stealing than just skill. A name that is hard to tell is a good start, and that's why you call this Mr. Wizard Cheese, isn't it?" said Clarus, tilting his head towards Jack. He had given the name to the boy, and as a descendant of the devil, he knew very well that the more maverick the name was, in many cases, not the better. Those highly recognizable names often only bring bad luck to the owner.

When the Demon Spawn and the werewolf were greeting, Jerry, who had been ordered by his master, had to put down the dagger and let Cheese inspect his body. "Can you speak?" the mage asked, unceremoniously propping his fingers open Jerry's eyelids and scrutinizing the latter's pupils.

"Not very skilled yet. "It's always a little strange for human language to be pronounced in the nezumi organs, as Cheese knew when he was communicating with the mutant nezumi. According to the mage's hypothesis, this difference in pronunciation habits will gradually cause the language among the rats to gradually become a dialect that is different from the lingua franca of humans, which is a good thing, not all races have their own language.

"It's pretty good, you're the most standard pronunciation of any talking nezumi I've ever seen. Cheese nodded slightly, continuing his examination.

"Have you seen any other talking nezumi? I mean, nezumi can talk? No, I mean—" Jerry's mind was a little confused, the nezumi he knew were crazy beasts. Even himself, if it weren't for the hand of another gray-robed man, probably he wouldn't have been as sane as he is now.

"Don't be nervous. The mage tapped the nezumi on the shoulder and motioned for him to relax, "I know a lot of nezumi who can talk. They, like you, remember being human. If we're lucky, you'll be able to meet them soon. ”

"How's he doing?" Elsa walked over to Cheese, who had seen the mutants with the mage and knew that not all nezumi had given up on their humanity. And she was very sympathetic to these poor people, who had been robbed of their human identity by the plague, but had not become wild beasts.

"Yes, honestly, very good. The mage subconsciously replied, noticing that the questioner was Elsa, and asked, "How's Kolandy?"

"She was scared, but it wasn't a big problem. Although she is not a warrior, she is also very strong. The proprietress smiled as she lowered her body slightly, looked at Jerry, and reached out to gently stroke the top of Jerry's head. "You are the same, you are strong. ”

"Is he really a grey robe?" Krus was already sitting on the high platform where Cheese had been standing before, and the Demon Spawn was nibbling on dry food as he turned his head to ask Jack, who had turned back into a human beside him. "It doesn't feel like the one I ran into before. ”

"Do you mean a cursed crow? Indeed, it's hard to imagine that those two men came out of the same place. But even twins, they don't necessarily have the same personalities, do they? Maybe we just met the good one and the bad one. The werewolf said, munching on jerky.

"Good wizards and bad wizards? Krus said with a smile.
