It's been a day before Cheese reappears in front of the people who have been captured by the nezumi. Although the negotiation with the nezumi can be called extremely smooth, the necessary temptation and suspicion of both sides are inevitable, and most of the time in the negotiation is spent on dispelling the other party's vigilance. This is no small challenge for mages who are not very good at convincing other people. In the end, though, the incredible abilities he displayed in front of the rat people and Gloria's presence allowed Cheese to get the results he wanted.

"To cut a long story short, I made some agreements with these mutants that allowed you to act as my assistants to help me stabilize their lesions as quickly as possible, and in return, they promised to return our freedom once they were stabilized and give us the right to roam freely in the vicinity for the duration of the experiment. However, to prevent unnecessary conflicts, these nezumi will not return your equipment and weapons. If you agree, they'll let you out, and if you don't, don't worry, they'll let you go when I'm done with the nezumi. Cheese and Gloria returned to the room where the cage was under the watch of the giant nezumi, and the mage spoke to the people in the cage.

"We agree. Without the slightest hesitation, Elsa and the other two Frost Guardians replied. For them, no matter what the cheese decides, they will follow the mage.

As for Leon and his Knights of the Kingdom, the Knight Chief, known as the Blood Lion, did not immediately give an answer. Although he had already learned from the mage and the proprietress that these mutants were different from ordinary nezumi, unlike Heather, he was not entirely sure of Cheese's credibility, at least so far, Leon had only believed the mage's words for three points. However, from the point of view of the blood lion, even if Cheese and those nezumi were in the same group, it didn't seem to be worse than it is now, wouldn't it?

"If what you say is true, then my knights and I are willing to be at your disposal for the time being. Although Leon's usual words and actions are very casual, he sometimes even makes people forget that the person he is talking to is one of the most powerful knights in the kingdom. However, when it comes to formal matters, the Blood Lion becomes extremely serious and rigid, and this clear attitude of public and private has caused many people who once thought that they had a good relationship with Leon to suffer greatly, and his unpopular personality is the main reason why the knight of the kingdom is not very popular in aristocratic circles. He's too businesslike.

However, in such an urgent moment, Leon's performance was very reassuring, staring into the knight's determined eyes, and no one would doubt the reliability of this ally. This was the main reason why Cheese did not hide the results of the negotiations from Leon, in fact, he didn't have to tell the knights of the kingdom about this, because he didn't need so many assistants in the first place. But in the mage's concept, being honest with each other is not only to win this ally, but also to respect the knights he has encountered, they don't have to be in such a dangerous situation, neither Heather nor Leon, with their status and status, do not need to enter the county of Salon, but they come, and face the unknown enemy without retreating, some people may think that this is stupid, in fact, even Cheese himself is difficult to be sure of this rather aggressive style, but it is undeniable that they are indeed using their actions to abide by the creed of knights。

Receiving an affirmative answer, the giant rat people beside Cheese opened the door of the cage, and as for if they were worried that the humans would rebel? In this dark underground where there is no light except fire, the rat people who were once humans know that there is no need to worry at all. Walking out of the cell, both the proprietress and the blood lion couldn't wait to stretch their bodies, this small prison was simply not enough for so many people to move freely.

"I ...... Did I see you somewhere?" After a moment's hesitation, Elsa finally asked Gloria, who was beside Cheese. Although Gloria at this time has completely changed from the black-robed man who bought wine at the top of the dragon's back, but when Cheese was arresting Gloria, the proprietress had also seen her, and as the first rat man Elsa saw, Gloria still made a deep impression on her. However, Elsa regretted it when she said this, although she didn't know how Cheese communicated with those rat people, but even if these mutant rat people could understand human language, they couldn't answer themselves, so the boss lady didn't expect an answer to this question.

"Yes, Miss Elsa, although you may not remember, we did meet twice. Although Gloria's vocal cords were completely different from before after becoming a nezumi, the unique intonation and clearly recognizable pronunciation of her aristocratic education still made her instantly attract everyone's attention.

"It's unbelievable that the nezumi can speak!" is the exclamation of the "monkey" after confirming that he heard correctly.

"That seems to be why they're willing to work with you?" Leon was also taken aback by Gloria's ability to speak, but thinking of Cheese's negotiations with the nezumi, he naturally attributed the apparently unusual nezumi to the mage, and in fact, it did.

"Hmm...... Yes. She was indeed the first nezumi I ever stabilized. Nodding his head in acknowledgement, Cheese introduced Gloria to everyone present, and Gloria's presence could not only be a powerful testimony to her ability to cure the plague, but on the other hand, the identity of the count's daughter could also make those present identify with her, thereby dispelling their blind fear of nezumi. They will realize that these fanged and clawed monsters were once living beings just like them.

"You say, this is Miss Gloria!Count Salon's daughter?" Gloria's identity really shocked everyone present, it was surprising enough that the nezumi could speak, and the fact that Cheese actually told them that this nezumi was the last descendant of the Saron family made everyone a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Please forgive me, Miss Gloria, I don't doubt your identity, but just based on what you and Mr. Cheese said, I ......" Leon, as the second head of the Kingdom Knights, is naturally not a stranger to the family of Count Salon, in fact, he once stationed in Valley City for a period of time as a military guide, if there is anyone present who knows the most about the former Gloria, I am afraid that this knight is really counted.

"It's normal that you don't recognize me now. In fact, if I hadn't been helped by a kind lady, I don't think I would have been able to accept who I am now. But since you mentioned it, when are you going to teach me how to ride a horse? Uncle Leon?"

This cry made Leon suddenly go back many years ago, when he was not the second head of the Kingdom Knights, and the little princess of the Count of Salon had pestered her to teach her to ride a horse, but Leon refused her request because she was too young. Originally, after so many years, Gloria had already learned to ride a horse, and the blood lion had never been to the county again, and the chief knight had also thought that the boy of which family would be lucky enough to marry the earl's daughter home, who would have thought that when they met again, Gloria had turned into a rat man.

"Miss Gloria, it's really you!"

Regardless of the recollection of the chief knight and the count's daughter here, now that Cheese has the permission of the sober, he can finally start his own research, and at this moment the mage has been looking forward to it since he entered the countdom, and now that everything is ready, Cheese will certainly not delay any more time. After confirming the resources they have, the immediate priority is to build a suitable laboratory first, and although the sober ones allow the mage's research, they will not be careless enough to let the cheese go underground. In this case, it is basically impossible to open the portal back to the Gray Tower, in order to create a suitable research environment, Cheese had to build a simple laboratory by himself, fortunately, the rats have reserved large and small rooms in this underground labyrinth, I don't know how much, there is enough space for the mage to play.

After instructing the knights of the Kingdom Order to help renovate the room that was to be turned into a laboratory, Cheese began to think of his next plan.
