Understand, these two words are easy to say, but what does Cheese understand? In fact, Cheese has been thinking about a question all along, which probably appeared in his mind from the time he fell into the king's rescue by Roland, and it lingered. That is, in the midst of this plague, or more broadly, in this world, as a spellcaster, as a gray robe, what position should I stand on, and from what perspective should I look at everything in this world?

No one in the Grey Tower had ever taught him about it, Clark hadn't, Ann Lina hadn't, and the rest of the Grey robes he hadn't seen before mentioned anything about it. As if for them, this is something that is not worth talking about at all. But the more he came into contact with the people in the Greylion, the more Cheese couldn't ignore the doubts. He could clearly feel the great chasm between himself and the kingdom and the worldly world. And this chasm is not caused by vision, that is, the perception of the existence or absence of magic, but because of other things.

Identity. Identification with the country, the identity of the nation, and even the identification with the race. The Frost Guardians can defend Dragonspine alone because every Northlander believes that their fate is inextricably linked to the Legion. The knights of the Greylion dared to venture into the Salons in the early days of the plague to fight monsters they knew nothing more than they knew because they were driven by the glory and duty of being knights, and they identified with their identity and were even willing to die for it. Even among the rats, Gloria has made the thinking ratmen realize that they are the same in the process of co-opting and protecting their kind. That's why the rat will be willing to follow in her footsteps and will in this final charge.

So where is the identification of the grey-robed ones? How do the wizards from the tower from outside the world view the world beyond the tower? Cheese has no answer, and the only object he can refer to is the cursed crow, and the attitude of the cursed crow towards the world is pure exploitation and extreme disdain. The sorcerer doesn't care about the law and the glory, he doesn't care about morality and conscience, he only wants knowledge and what interests him. It was also destined that as soon as the Raven realized that some danger came from something he could not face, and that it would be useless to persist in fighting it, he would immediately leave the place with his own interests.

Cheese almost turned into such a person. When he first came to the kingdom, he showed great concern for the plague, but it was out of curiosity about the trial task and the curiosity that characterizes the caster. In fact, he didn't care about the life and death of the inhabitants of the kingdom or even the rat people, and the person who forced him to care about these things at that time was Elsa. The Red Fox and the Frost Guardians aren't good people who help people on sight, but they also admit that they are human, so they won't stand idly by when a plague that can turn humans into monsters comes into view.

The accommodation to the frosts brought the mages into contact with Lothar and the apothecary who had been replaced by demons. So he began to try to see the refugees the way Elsa and the others did, just because it had benefited his investigation. But that wasn't really good, because when the mage rode the red dragon to pour potions at the source of Dragon's Blood Creek, he was just experimenting with the refugees. He didn't have a desperate desire to save anyone. That's why Raven told Cheese when he was in the Iron Keep that his trial would have been completed long ago, and that Cheese was already a good spellcaster for the Greyrobes who could find a way and concoct a potion to stop the spread of the plague.

The subsequent encounters at the Iron Keep were motivated by pure curiosity, as both Cheese and Cursed Crow were curious about the people who were capable of creating such a plague, and the presence of the Lich made both of them smell a larger conspiracy, so they did not leave. But the person who really made a difference in cheese was Roland. The magician, who claims to be the master of the Grey Tower, has given Cheese a new perspective on ordinary people, whose knowledge can be limited to magic and the study of it, and can be useful in due course. In a sense, this ability to turn decay into magic is true magic. In addition, the old man's deeds of integrating and commanding the dark side of the royal capital with his own strength also made the mage no longer doubt his identity.

Cheese, who was influenced by Roland, really began to face up to what was in front of him, and because of this, he took the risk of signing a contract with the witches of the royal capital to get the help of the other party. That's why he proved his innocence by helping Lothar win the Glorious Trial after investigating the Pharmacists' Guild. Because of this, he took the risk of making a deal with the devil and learned of the existence of the broker, but he did not expect that all this was actually under the control of the other party.

And most importantly, it is because of all this that Cheese is determined to fight the demon lord to the death when he returns to Vale. He has made the solution of the rat-man plague some kind of mission, something more reluctant to give up than the so-called trial of adulthood, the so-called curiosity. It was also something that made Ann Lina angry, and even did not hesitate to show her claws to the Lord of the Gray Tower. It wasn't supposed to be on a grey robe, but it did. So now, Cheese would stand on the back of the dragon and look at the angry and empowered people in front of him and ask that question.

He also needs to confirm one last thing. Now that he's done confirming, he's finally understood.

So when the people inside and outside Vale heard the mage's words, Cheese continued, "Unfortunately, I can understand your emotions, Greylion warriors. But I'm not going to let you hurt the rat people in this city. Because to you, they are monsters, but to me, they are human beings, just like you. ”

"Then you are declaring war on the entire kingdom of the blue lion, wizard!" Andrea pointed her weapon at the dragon, "you will be the enemy of the entire kingdom! Even if your scaly pet can burn us all, our children and grandchildren will complete their revenge, and sooner or later, you will pay the price!"

Cheese, smiled. It's not that he looks down on the warriors of the kingdom, and in all fairness, if it weren't for Migo's combat power, both Lothar and Leon would have the ability to fight him. Not to mention that the Grey Lion, as a knight country, also has more soldiers with less skill but a large number of soldiers. Besides, the kingdom could also send assassins to make the mage live in anxiety every day, so that he no longer had time to study magic. It is a fool's decision to fight one person against another, even if he is in a gray robe.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come to me to collect the bill. But remember, warriors of the Greylion, that I will not allow you to slaughter the nezumi as if they were wild beasts until I die. I, Cheese, the grey robe from the north of the north, will be the guardian, caretaker, and teacher of all the rat people. From this day forward, every day, I will be here until you confess that the beast in your mouth is the same thing as you. ”

As he spoke, the magic in the mage's eyes became more and more surging, and those points of light that had originally existed only sporadically began to turn into substantial magic light, surrounding Cheese's body. He slowly raised his right hand and clenched the outstretched five fingers into a fist in the air! At this moment, the vines that had climbed the city wall also exerted their strength at the same time, destroying all the crossbow arrows that had been erected, but they did not harm any of the soldiers.

But before the Greylion warriors could express their anger at the destruction of their crossbow arrows, they saw an even more striking scene. They saw huge vines wrapped around the broken stone bricks rising from the ruins of the former lord's castle in the Valley City, and they saw a tall tower of plants and masonry high enough to reach the cyan flames burning in the sky, stretching its body like a rising giant. This made the soldiers who had originally raised their bows and arrows unconsciously put down their weapons, and they knew that their arrows could not harm an existence with such power. The gray figure standing on the dragon's back was too far away.

"Of course, I won't fail to acknowledge the casualties caused by the rat people. But those deaths were the madness of the plague, not the will of the rats, and I had found a way to bring them back to their senses. I'll do the same. So, if one day you figure it out and are willing to re-admit these people as your kind, I will leave. Before that, Valley City was not part of the Greylion Kingdom for the time being. I'm sorry for this rude behavior. ”

There was no apology in Cheese's words, he just bowed lightly to the men on the dragon's back, and then said, "Speaking of which, since this is no longer the land of the blue lion, we should ask you to leave until we can sit down and have a good conversation." Of course, if you still have to fight me now, watch your feet. ”

Everyone, all the greylions, including Marcus and Andrea, could feel a hard wooden thorn against their throats from below as the mage's words fell. They also had no doubt that with the movement of a finger by the mage, this so-called coalition would all become fertilizer to nourish the greenery under their feet in an instant.

"Whether to go or to stay, you decide for yourselves. I still have some personal matters to attend to, so I won't accompany them for now. ”

The dragon took the mage on its back and turned and flew towards the newly built tower. And everyone clearly saw that on the back of the gray-robed wizard, a mouse mark wearing a robe and holding a lantern was impressively visible. This emblem later became the earliest banner of the Nezumen, which flew at the head of Vale City for a long time.
