Simple beds, some years old roofs. Cheese opened his eyes and closed them in silence for a few seconds, during which his senses quickly captured the information around him. When he opened his eyes again, he had regained his composure in his gaze. Turning over and getting off the ground, he picked up the robe that hung at the head of the bed, but he didn't put it on immediately, but folded it in half and tucked it over his shoulder. Opening the door, Cheese did not go to the hall, but followed the structure of the house to the toilet, and then walked to the backyard. A tavern like the Ivy League has a supply well in the backyard, which is not big or deep, but it is still useful.

By the time the mage actually walked into the hall, his appearance had reached the limit of what he could do so far. On the contrary, among those who reacted after seeing Cheese, Atta looked embarrassed. The swordswoman's hair was disheveled, and there were shallow marks under her eyes suggesting that she had not been rested, and her spirit was sluggish and she was not relieved until she saw the mage, and she showed an angry expression. Before the others could greet Cheese, Atta had already rushed to the door in three or two steps, reached out and grabbed Cheese's shirt, "You know she's going to die, do you?

Who would die? Who would kill? What did Cheese know? Among them were Kairaz and Kenqi, who returned to the town to rest after dealing with the river monsters, and not long after they had sat down, Atta returned with a gloomy face. It's just that from then until now, the female swordsman has never said a word in the face of their problems, until this time. The man and the cat looked at each other, and Kenqi sighed, got up to block the people's gaze, and looked at Emma with pleading eyes. The innkeeper immediately understood, and walked up to the crowd to ask them to leave. Thankfully, there are only a few lumberjacks in shifts.

Cheese stood still, waiting for Atta to calm down before reaching out and pulling her hand off the hem of his shirt. It might have taken a lot of effort in normal times, but the female swordsman was already tired, and she didn't have the strength to put it into resistance. After doing this, Cheese looked the other person in the eye, "We'll talk about that later." Miss Emma, please prepare something to eat, and pack it up. ”

The basket of food was quickly prepared, and Cheese picked up the basket and walked towards the door of the tavern. Atta seemed to understand what he meant, stopped shouting, and silently walked over to him and took a step forward. Seeing this, the other two hurried to follow, not knowing what it meant. A group of three people and a cat, no horseback riding. Led by a swordswoman, he walked out of the town, up the river, and when he came across a wooded field, he turned and walked some distance to a relatively empty woodland, where many low shrubs grew, many of which were wild berries. In the middle of the bushes was a recently turned piece of land, with a slightly raised mound of earth piled up in a pile of stones. The corners of Cheese's eyes twitched slightly when he saw the pile of stones, and then he put the basket on the floor, "So, this is it?"

"This is it. She just fell here, and I buried her here, following the prairie tradition. As she spoke, her eyes began to redden, and for her, it was not a pleasant memory.

The mage nodded, looked around, stepped aside and picked up a stone from the ground, which he solemnly lifted to the stone and placed on it. Then he looked back at Jian Qi and them, "Since you're here, let's go together." You haven't seen her, but he died in our action. It's always good to pay a salute. ”

The Sword Seeker and the Cat Elf each placed their own one on the pile of stones, and then stood aside and waited for Cheese and Atta to explain what was in front of them. Judging from the situation, it is not difficult to judge that there is a person buried under this soil, and it is a woman, a woman who has just died. The question is, who is this woman, why did she die, and why did the mage say that her death was related to them?

Noticing his companion's confusion, Cheese lowered his eyes and spoke slowly, "There's a lady named Goli buried here. I don't know where she was born, and I don't know why she got here. Maybe it was trafficked, maybe it was separated from its parents, maybe it was abandoned by her husband, or maybe it was because of other reasons. All I know is that she showed up near town three years ago, known to the locals as a witch, and she doesn't have any magical knowledge or talent for spellcasting, just a poor woman. Later, the river monster noticed her and captured her and drove her as his own slave, which would not be too long. ”

"She's the one you want to save?" Jian Qi suddenly remembered that Cheese had mentioned that he wanted Atta to save people, and now it seemed that Goli was the target, "But why did Miss Ah say you killed her?"

"That's where we come to the river monsters. Remember the night I was walking alone? I tried to follow the invisible hair to find the root of the town's problems, and I found it, a magical loom. It's capable of spinning hair into something, I can't tell what it is, but once it's done, no one in Hair Town will survive. So I immediately wanted to destroy the machine, the problem is, even if it's a magic loom, it can't operate on its own, and Goli is the one who was forced to run it. And her life was tied to that damn machine. Cheese recounted calmly.

"Actually, this is nothing new, many magical creations have similar abilities, and can force living beings to use them. Therefore, it is not so much that Golie is a slave of the river monster as that she is forced to become a slave of a loom, the former of which can be freed from slavery, but the latter of—" He paused, closing his eyes and being silent for a few seconds, "When I met her, there was nothing I could do. She was tied to that thing too closely, and it was impossible for someone so weak to separate the two, and she couldn't bear that kind of damage physically and mentally. ”

"So you let Taran kill her?" the cat goblin said in a bad tone, killing people is such a thing, if there is no way to avoid it, it is understandable. In order to save the townspeople of Jiefa Town, it is understandable to destroy the weaving machine. But for Atta to be unprepared to kill an innocent person, this is something that Kailas can't accept as a caretaker of a female swordsman, because it's not the same thing as killing an opponent in battle.

"Nope. I took Gori's blood and concocted a potion, and with the power of the potion, the connection between her and the loom would be temporarily broken, and Atta would take the opportunity to destroy the loom and she would survive. ”

But she died. Am I destroying the loom at the wrong time?" Atta listened to Cheese's explanation, and began to wonder if it was his own mistake that led to this outcome.

The gray robe shook his head, "It's nothing. If she was able to get out of the hut, it meant that the potion had been effective. She would have died, purely as a result of chronic malnutrition. The river monster treats her like a tool and doesn't give her food at all. With the magical influence of the loom, her life was bound and could not end, and once this effect disappeared, it was not surprising that her already overwhelmed body would immediately collapse. When she first saw me, she was already dead. It's just that I still hope to be lucky, that the magic in the potion can last her life, and give me a chance to mend her body... After all, I thought it was too simple. ”

With that, Cheese opened the basket and laid out the same food in front of Golly's grave. He whispered the eulogy for the deceased that had been circulated by the lion, and the scene from years ago came to his mind. Once again, he failed to save anyone. Maybe there is no difference between him now and him before.
