"You just let them go?" said Kailas, who jumped out of the window, watching Jerry and Galona disappear into the street. The cat elf is talking about them instead of her, implying that he doesn't see the nezumi as a trustworthy partner. It's no wonder that if you think about what happened last night, you can guess that if there is no fisherman's rescue, Cheese's departure will inevitably leave a deadly defensive gap. From this point of view, Jerry is not a friend, at least not a friend of him and Atta. And unceremoniously pointing this out to Cheese shows Kailas's dissatisfaction.

"Girona has signed the contract, don't you believe in my craft?" replied the mage with a smile, gathering the ashes from the table and gently pouring them into a nearby basin of water. The burning embers of the paper quickly dispersed in the water and turned into gray flowers, and finally sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared without a trace. Strictly speaking, those ashes are also part of the contract, and if they are obtained by someone with a heart, it may still affect the execution of the contract, which is why Cheese has to handle them so carefully to ensure that nothing goes wrong. It's just that it's hard to say how much of this caution is for prevention, and how much of it is due to that paranoid compulsion to cast spells.

"The problem has never been with the girl, she may be a deadly killer, but the edge of this knife has been swept up by you, and you can't pose a mortal threat to us again. I'm talking about the kid who can't figure out what he's doing. Confusion could have catastrophic consequences, and I don't want that to ripple through to Taran. The cat goblin didn't speak well, although it didn't have killing intent, but it was already a little disgusted.

"Human growth is a delicate matter, my hairy friend. Perhaps a being like you, who has ample time to complete a mental and physical transformation, does not understand it, but for a human being, a creature who is still human on the inside, to transition from childhood to adulthood, often requires a serious enough event. Jerry has tried to make his own choices, and in terms of his ability to survive on his own in the city, he is not bad. But it is not enough to be good, he has to make mistakes, he has to know his mistakes, he has to reflect and learn lessons. With the ability to examine himself, he can be considered an adult. I promise, he's started to transform now. ”

Kairas glanced at the mage with a complicated look in his eyes, and he couldn't quite understand why the grey robe held the nezumi in such high regard. Jerry's background is very pitiful, but there are many more pitiful people in the world than him. Far from it, Yuni now lying in bed is enough to praise the nezumi for being happy and lucky in the past. But not everyone who is unfortunate will encounter such a guy as Cheese, it may be a kind of luck or a kind of misfortune, is the transformation that the Master said is really a good thing? How many people in this world have forgotten what pleasure is after losing their innocence and starting to face the world, and can only ask for temporary pleasure from flesh and desire?

"Whatever you want, I trust your judgment. Put this aside for now, what's your next step? The list left by that girl is as long as it gets, even if we deal with one a day, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with half of it in this month. When the gates of the City of Ten Thousand Laws open, they will still flock to it. Not to mention that there are other guys staring at us right now, that puppet, it's impossible not to be impressed by Taran. ”

What the cat goblin said is the truth, with the current strength of the squad, it is definitely not enough to calm the rushing underground forces, and there is no impermeable wall in the world, combined with the identity of the caster of cheese and the action strategy, it is not difficult to guess the purpose of their trip. From the Iron Felt Avenue to the City of Ten Thousand Laws, this distance is the ideal opportunity for all those who stare at the bounty on the head of the female swordsman. This problem is always inescapable.

"Two solutions," Cheese rolled up the list left by the female killer and put it away, removing all the traces on the table that were related to what had just happened, "Or, we will go over with our heads held high, and along the way the soldiers will cover the water and earth, and if someone releases arrows, we will raise our shields, and if someone throws a knife, we will shoot back." The road does not extend indefinitely, as long as it is close to the range of the City of Ten Thousand Laws, those killers will be more or less scrupulous. So strictly speaking, the distance that can really be given to them is not long. However, there are always risks associated with this approach, so it is better to let them not find us at all. ”

It's a matter of course, and no killer can assassinate a non-existent target. If the people who went to intercept the team couldn't find the whereabouts of the team members, it would naturally not pose any threat.

But this is also an inconsistency thing, on the one hand, the team has to enter the city of ten thousand laws within the specified time, and on the other hand, they cannot be detected when the destination and departure place are known. It's like sneaking in front of someone, and they're not sleepy guards, but professional killers who know how to do it. If this kind of thing can be done easily, the killer's business will be much worse.

"Sounds like you've got a plan, do you need me to do something? I'm going crazy to be trapped in this masonry box every day, and if I hadn't moved my muscles a little last night, I might have started to scratch the door by now. Kailas was joking, but his desire to help was genuine. The main thing is that the cat goblin has a deep understanding that if you want to truly understand the intentions of the gray robe, you better be a part of his plan, otherwise what awaits you will be a theatrical performance without warning, and there will be no room for interference. And he hates to be a bystander, no matter how good the play is, it is better to play it himself.

"Rest assured, to get us out in a month, everyone in this house has something to do. Given that Sword Seven and the others have been wounded, and that I have now become a target, your task is indispensable. I can't tell you that you'll complain that I've arranged too many things for you. So now, let's enjoy a little more tranquility before the program begins. As soon as the waves are rolled, they will be wave after wave, and it is not easy to see the calm current. The mage looked out the window at the street, the dwarves were completely unaffected by last night, even though the bodies of the two killers had been disposed of in front of them.

"Look, how nice the weather is today. It's definitely a good day for fishing. How about going fishing with me? I don't think anyone will have any thoughts about this place for a while. They had to find out who had caught Galona last night and why they had let her go. Until they figure out the situation, they won't act rashly. And..."

"And what?" said Kailas, clasping his hands to his chest, a little upset at the smile on Cheese's face.

"And aren't you curious about what those little fish taste like when they're baked?"
