Outside the Iron Castle, an abandoned cemetery.

It was the middle of the night, and although it was impossible to carry the clocks of this era, most of the precious and sophisticated mechanical chronographs were bloated. But there are many other ways to calculate time. These methods vary widely in terms of accuracy, but the reliability of these time-tested methods is unquestionable.

"It will take some time to mobilize the soldiers, and Wolf says that he will arrive at dawn with reinforcements. "When the cemetery was discovered, Sander had secretly informed the Lord of the Iron Castle of the news, and after the vampire informed the enemy of the terrible power hoarded here, Wolf immediately said that he would lead reinforcements to help, as a guardian war witch whose ultimate pursuit of defense even abandoned all other types of spells for this purpose, Wolf's power is enough for ordinary Iron Castle soldiers to fight these opponents with mysterious powers. In this way, as long as they can trap each other in the cemetery and prevent them from escaping, the old city lord can easily defeat these enemies when reinforcements arrive.

However, the truth does not allow them to do so. Although they couldn't fully see through the various intertwined prohibitions in this cemetery, it didn't take long for Cheese and Curse Crow to discover the magic circle that the other party was activating in the cemetery. Whatever the purpose of the occupants of the cemetery, there was no reason for them to fight to the death with Cheese here, and the location of the cemetery made it inevitable that reinforcements from the Iron Fort would come quickly, and it was fair to say that if the positions were reversed, Cheese would be ready to retreat in this bridgehead first.

"It's too late. The mage and the crow said at the same time.

"Those guys are activating some teleportation circle, and when the sun comes up, they'll disappear with the whole cemetery. It will be extremely difficult to find them again. Cheese explained to his companions.

"Is there a way to interrupt them?" asked Louise. For spellcasters, as long as they fully understand the spell or circle cast by their opponent, it is very easy to destroy it or even use it in reverse. Since both Cheese and Crow can easily see the type of circle used by the other party, and can even tell when the circle is in effect, it is not difficult for these two people to interrupt it.

Both Cheese and Crow looked thoughtful, but they quickly gave up.

"There's no way to calculate, there are too many variables in the cemetery. If we hastily abort that circle, we may activate some countermeasures. Or even the worst possible is to help the circle activate early. The mage shook his head, indicating that there was no way he could abort the teleportation.

"I can't either, I can't find a target if I want to curse, and I can't intervene in this soulless thing. If it's an offensive technique, it's fine, and it's hard for me to stop something like this that won't hurt us if it's activated. The crow said. As a sorcerer, he has a strong grip on things that are alive or have souls, but when faced with things that have already been laid out, even if he wants to curse them, he has no object to cast spells.

"So we're either going to watch them run away now, or we're going to have to break in?" the vampire asked.

"It looks like so. They had clearly anticipated the possibility of this happening. And it's ready too. Cheese nodded. It's not that he and the cursed crow are not strong enough or witty, but this cemetery is a base run by the other party, if it weren't for the soldiers of the Iron Castle who might come at any time, with the advantage of the cemetery, those of them who rushed to the other party's door would not be able to interrupt the teleportation, and whether they could save their lives depended on the other party's intentions.

After receiving the Master's affirmative answer, Sander didn't ask any more questions. He moved his joints and began to unfold his fighting stance. Louise, beside him, also began to change like a giant wolf with the sound of bones cracking. Judging by what they meant, it was obvious that they were planning to break in. As Cheese said before, if the other party is left unscathed now, God knows if the Iron Castle will be able to hold it the next time he finds the other party. The reason why they were able to find this cemetery this time was too much luck, if it weren't for the fact that the other party misestimated the strength of the cheese and rashly hired the mercenary mage, they would not have found this place at all. And after learning the lesson of this time, the other party will obviously not make such a low-level mistake again.

"Looks like they're going to take advantage of this 'opportunity'? What about you, Cheese, how can you be sure that the guy I killed wasn't the bait these people had brought in, how can you be sure they don't know our grey robes?

The mage looked at his fellow disciple. He took a deep breath, feeling the strength in his arm to see if he could still lift the sword and staff in his hand to fight. Then he said to the Raven.

"I came out this time and met a lot of people and saw a lot of things. I used to think I didn't need to have much communication with these mortals, because they seemed so ignorant to us. But I was wrong, I couldn't face everything here with a game mentality anymore after I went through this. Although my desire is still to seek more knowledge, that does not prevent me from stopping for a moment along the way and fighting for it. ”

As he spoke, Cheese was already in a battle-ready posture, apparently intending to attack with Sander and Louise once they began their attack. The crow smiled when he heard the mage's answer. His smile was no longer as gentle as it had been before, but a sickly, crazy, undisguised one. Raven seemed pleased with Cheese's answer, and he nodded his head, as if agreeing with the mage.

"Okay, good, very good! Do you know how the teacher would react if he heard you say that you don't look like a spellcaster at all? Haha, I'm sure it would be a very interesting thing. You've always been a guy who has always brought me joy, and I really didn't come out in vain, and this time it's so funny to see you working so hard for such a senseless thing. ”

"After all that, will you help?" Cheese was noncommittal to the cursed crow's words. The first lesson of every mage is to be independent, and if you can't even live up to your beliefs, then you can't control things that are beyond common sense. Now that Cheese has decided to keep these guys in the cemetery, he must do what he says. However, the disparity in strength cannot be changed by determination, and Cheese, who knows the ability of the curse crow, still hopes to get the help of this fellow disciple.

"Help, of course I will! How could I let you play alone with such a fun thing?, when was the last time we fought together?" said the Raven. At the same time, his eyes began to glow with magic, which was a signal that he was in a fighting state.

"Probably in the Clay Labyrinth, that was a long time ago. Cheese replied.

"Yes, that's the first time I've seen you do it. That's when I knew that if you could live to adulthood, it would be an interesting guy. In retrospect, I was right. ”
