Chapter 210: Episode in front of the door
The royal capital of the lion, the aristocratic district
After recovering from the inexplicable discomfort, the Cheese Squad finally arrived at their destination. Although no one in the team remembered what happened in the morning, except for the mage, there was no doubt that they had been attacked. According to Cheese's explanation, the people who attacked the team were undoubtedly priests who believed in evil gods, and the mage was also convinced that all the attackers had died violently.
"But I think that since they can already send men to attack us, it means that they have grasped our movements. Walking on the quiet roads of the aristocratic district, Colante still insisted that the operation should be canceled.
"One, an attack only shows that they have a lot of eyeliners in the city, but it doesn't mean that they really know what we're doing. So there's no way to know about our plans. Cheese replied in a low voice, "Second, like I said before." The corpses of the priests who failed to summon the evil gods would be found tomorrow at the latest, and by that time, there would be no doubt that the state of vigilance in the royal capital would escalate. We can't guarantee that Lothar will be able to get us into the Pharmacists' Guild by then. ”
Thirdly, those who dared to summon the evil gods directly in the city, those who planned this attack must have been fully prepared. And we still know very little about them, and we don't have any time to waste. Next time, it won't be necessary to help us.
Cheese did not state this third reason, as the memory of the attack was preserved. Although the last part is a little missing, the mage is very sure that the team can escape death this time, entirely because there is a second existence of the same level as the owner of the Flesh Street to protect it, and this existence is most likely to take away the wet souls of Heather and them. Although he didn't know why the Wanderer in the Rain had to pay such a big price to help, Cheese didn't think that the help would be infinite.
In the end, Klanty still didn't refute the mage's opinion, but secretly made up her mind that at least she would ensure that she could take Cheese out of here when the situation was unfavorable. If something happens to the mage because of this operation, the witches will really lose all their money.
"Here we are. In front of it is the Pharmacists Association. Lothar, who was at the front of the line, said, and what appeared in front of everyone was a four-story stone building built against the castle of the lion royal family. In terms of the architectural level of the Greylion, the construction cost of this building can even be comparable to that of a private estate. On the door of this building, the insignia of the Apothecary Association also hangs, and the spread out books are stacked with lion's tail and an open eye.
"Uh, I have a question, since we're here...... Where's Jason?" asked Jack, looking at the brightly armored royal guards in front of the Apothecary Guild. Originally, the guide promised to meet Cheese and them halfway, but until they reached their destination, they didn't see Jason.
"Don't worry, he's already here. Cheese said, his gaze pausing among the many guards in front of the Apothecary Guild.
"Alright, one last word before acting. I am coming to the Pharmacists Association today with a Cheese Bachelor who has just graduated from the academy and asked to join, as he is my blood relative. In addition, Jack is my squire, and Miss Colante is my secretary. Right?" Lothar whispered.
"Well, can you repeat the blood relationship between the two of us in today's setting?" said the mage as he raised his hand, he was a little confused about the marriage system between the secular nobles. In fact, for Cheese, it is better for him to memorize the list of characters that Lothar gave him, than to ask him to memorize those long and awkward spells.
"Didn't you say you had memorized it in the morning?" said the Count of Montenegro weakly, he now felt that the biggest problem with this infiltration plan was whether Cheese could remember his relationship with himself correctly, "Well, I repeat, in short, you are the ...... of my mother's third sister"
"Endless truth reigns, Lothar, my dear Earl, what you say gives me a headache. With one hand on his forehead, Cheese said he still couldn't remember the intricate relationships between the characters.
"That's not going to work? I haven't asked you to memorize the family and its coat of arms that these names represent, as well as the main deeds and the current patriarch. You know, you're playing a scholar who graduated from the academy, and you should be going backwards. Seeing the mage's pained expression, Lothar felt for the first time that the caster was nothing extraordinary.
"Hell, I'm a mage! You know, not those idiots who get attention by documenting the boring trivia of humanity! My brain is for the things that really work, not for pretending, pretending... Packed with all that mess up family names and genealogies!" said Cheese, a little frantically disgusted, for he hated the meaningless and flashy books written by secular humans. In the mage's eyes, there was nothing but vanity and lies.
"It's okay, you don't need to write them down. I'll talk about it then. Colanty said as she lifted the glasses on her nose. As Lothar's secretary, it makes sense for her to introduce this kind of thing. As for the glasses, they are props that are used to facilitate the concealment of identity.
"Did you write down everything he said?" Cheese was more surprised by how the other party connected the series of characters than with the help of the witch.
"Of course, it's not difficult. You just have to remember that Lothar's mother was jealous of her sister, and her sister fell in love with ......" and then the mage heard that the relationships between the characters had become a complex story that could be put into the theater for the actors to make into an opera.
And the expression on Cheese's face changed from surprised to sluggish.
"Okay, okay, guess what? I think you're the abnormal guys. Isn't that right, Jack?" the mage tried to find common ground in the werewolves, and it seemed to him that Jack would not be interested in these things. But the truth was destined to disappoint Cheese.
"Hey, why do you think Lothar's mother is jealous of her sister......?
Listening to Jack and Kolanty discussing the bloody plot that Lothar had casually made, the mage felt that he really shouldn't have stunned these guys when he was attacked by the evil god in the morning, at least it would make them think less about such useless things.
"Lord Earl, you and your companions have been standing here for a long time. Is there anything we can do to help?" noticing the movement of Lothar's group, even the guards guarding the Apothecary's Association could not look at it. One of the guards, who looked like a captain, stepped forward and interrupted a few people and asked.
"Of course, sir. The cheesemaster and I would like to meet Baron Gray. I don't know if you can take us there. Lothar quickly put on the count's pomp and said to the guard in an arrogant tone.
"Yes, sir. It's my pleasure to serve you. Originally, the Count of Montenegro thought that this guard would make a request for advance notification or something like that, but he didn't expect the other party to be unexpectedly happy, and immediately agreed to take the cheese and them to Baron Gray.
"I know most of the captains of the royal guards, but I don't seem to have seen you before. What's your name?" Lothar asked as he walked behind the guard towards the guild's gates.
"I only recently moved to this position. If you want, you can call me, Jason. ”
